Honestly. She didn't know how she got herself into such a position.

Handcuffed to her boyfriends evil twin brother.

…who was currently trying to change into clean clothes…with his back pressed right against hers.

(not that she was looking! She was turned around! Not looking!)

"You gonna change, or you going to stay covered in that wet white shirt?" he says lightly.

…Oh, yeah, and they're both soaking wet.

Life must hate her or something.

"If you look Zack Martin, I swear-"

"Yeah, yeah- you'll rip me limb from limb. I know Kansas, I know" he chuckles, and she can feel his back move as he laughs.

…she is cold and wet.

That was why she has goosebumps.

(And maybe if she tells herself that long enough, she'll believe it.)

How did this only start two hours ago? Feels like a lifetime…

She hated him.

…she never hated anyone before. But now she does...and you know what?

It felt good. Freeing, somehow… Hot and tight and energizing, a steady thump of rage rushing through her veins.

Even now, standing in Mr. Blanket's creepy office, all she could feel was the heated power in her heart, this anger. ..

The Anger of Injustice.

For The Entire Female Population of Earth.

He. Must. Be. Stopped

...she tried not to look at Him… even though he was standing right next to her with that innocent look on his stupid face.

Please. Like anyone would believe that Zack Martin was innocent….you'd have to be dumb, blind, and crazy.

…Unfortunately, Mt. Blanket seemed to possess all of these qualities. In abundance.

" Miss Tutweiller tells me of an incident earlier today? Involving some hot chocolate? And a certain news project? Do either of you have anything to say? Zack? Bailey?" the sham-of-a psychologist asked them, a weird gleam in his eyes.

(…really, the man just screamed 'Creeper!' And he works with underage children?)

"Ah, yes, actually. I feel that Miss Pickett here has been harboring some deep anger issues, causing her to lash out at any time… Like she did to me today- completely just threw dangerously hot liquid at my face. I think she is in dire need of your help, Mr. Blanket," the evil twin pauses, and that innocent look came into his eyes again.

" …Only someone of your high caliber expertise could save her now," the blond devil finished.

(Oh, she was so going to kill him.)

Well, she wasn't just going to stand here and be insulted!

"Actually Mr. Blanket, Zack was the one who-"

"I think I see the problem. Nothing that the Blanket Method cannot cure!" the creeper said, smiling.

"But I didn't-" she tried again.

"Oh, my goodness- Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie?" Mr. Blanket gasps, pointing to the window.

"What?"

"No way!"

They both turn to look.

…she should have known better.

Yes.

She, Bailey Pickett, fell for the 'look over there' trick. She almost deserved to be punished for such stupidity.

But not this kind of punishment! Handcuffs?

She really didn't see how handcuffing two people of the opposite gender together could solve their problems.

…Because right now, all it was doing was causing problems.

"Um, I don't have any of my clothes, so…" she trails off. (Seriously, could this be any more embarrassing?)

"Oh- hold on…" he pauses, then with his free hand, gives her his shirt, still not looking at her.

"Yeah…so, I am going to need, um, a hand..." Someone just kill her now. Please. This is worse than that time she had to massage Grandma's feet!

"Right. I'll… I'll close my eyes… or something…" Zack says haltingly and she can feel his slight tremor rip through his back again.

Well.

At least she's not the only one mortified…

…which was weird.

Because one could think Zack would be more than happy to get a girl out of her clothes.

…Maybe there's hope for him after all.

So, I was watching "Seven Seas News" the other day… and I thought of this. Why do you think Zack and Bailey got wet? How did you think Cody reacted to his girlfriend and his twin being handcuffed together? Reviewers receive hugs and cyber brownies!
