Disclaimer: I don't own TSLOZAC.

I'm glad to see that the feedback on this story was so good. To answer questions Zach and Cody are seventeen. And i know my spelling of Zach is wrong and it should be 'Zack' but i've always spelled it Zach and i'd prefer not to spell it the right way. I know it sounds odd...but...ahhh well. here's chapter 2. nodnod lemme know what you think!


Chapter 2

I looked over to Eve. Her tongue hung out the side of her mouth when she was working hard. She flipped through the history book and her hand shot up to cover a yawn. I looked up to the clock. It was nine thirty; we were in my room studying for our history test. Eve looked over to me as another yawn was covered by her hand. She giggled and I chuckled in response.

"You've been here a while. Why don't you go home and we'll finish tomorrow?" I offered quietly.

"I should go home, doesn't mean I want to." She smiled and got up pulling on her coat. I stood up as well. It was then when I noticed our close proximity. I was blushing and she was blushing, too. It was a nice feeling being this close to a girl. I hadn't meant to get that close but it had happen. What really surprised me is what happened next. I placed my hand behind her head and pulled her lips to mine. I felt her stiffen in surprise but quickly relaxed as my other hand went to the small of her back to pull her closer to me.

Her arms wrapped around my neck and she fell onto the bed behind her, pulling me with her. I pulled away, once the need for oxygen became too much to ignore. I looked down at her and pushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Somehow I got the vibe that that was the on switch. The vibes probably came from the passionate kiss I was pulled into by the blonde, under me. Both my hands moved to her hips to hold her in place. My thumbs began to make small circles on her hips and I was surprised when she moaned quietly. I licked her bottom lip and she granted me entrance.

Just then Zach walked into the suite with a slam of the door and a call of 'I'm home!' I quickly jumped away from Eve and helped her up. We both quickly rearranged ourselves to look like nothing had happened. I looked over to Eve who was subconsciously touching her lips.

"Come on, I'll drive you home." I helped her grab her stuff. As we left the suite I threw on my coat. I noticed Zach's look of confusion. I, again, helped Eve into the car, holding open the door as she pulled her legs in. Closing the door I rushed to my side to get away from the slight chill in the air. "It's cold."

"Yeah." Eve's breath hung in the air as a small cloud of moisture. We were silent for the whole trip, save for when Eve was giving me directions to her home. I was parked at the curb in front of her house.

"So yea, I'll see you tomorrow?" I looked over hopefully.

"Of course." She smiled back at me. I soon found myself locked in another kiss with her. Pulling away I thought I heard her sigh, but shook it off. I watched as she got out of the car and gently closed the door. Pulling a u-turn I found that she was still there, her coat in her arms holding her back pack on so that it wouldn't slip over her shoulder. I stopped at the corner again.

"See you tomorrow." I smiled up at her through the open window.

"See you." She leaned over and pressed a chaste kiss to my cheek. I smiled one last time before rolling up the window and driving back to the Tipton.

"Wow, you seem happy." I dropped my coat in the coat closet. Zach followed me.

"Eh, nothing out of the usual." I smiled and walked into the bathroom to change.

"Ok, fess up." Zach jumped onto his bed.

"What!" I looked over to him.

"Why are you so happy? What did you do, make out with her or something?" He eyed me.

"Well it wasn't exactly making out, as you chose to come home before anything could happen." I grinned and then shut off the light. The last thing I heard before drifting off to sleep was.

'Cody, you sly dog.'


I was casually walking down the hall; I opened my locker and threw my books in. I grabbed my binder for French and headed towards the commons to see if I could hang out with anybody I knew before school started.

"Where are you off to?" I turned and found Eve leaning against the wall. I smiled.

"Hey, you." I leaned against the wall.

"Hey." She moved a little closer to me.

"So are you coming back over, tonight?" I put my binder in my bag.

"I dunno. I'll have to ask my mom." She bit her lip. I saw that it was getting red from her biting and licking at it. I was holding back the urge to reach over and kiss her, but I didn't know where she stood on our situation, so i ignored it.

"Alright." I nodded, "Want to sit in the commons with me?"

"Sure." I subconsciously held out my hand and was surprised when she actually took it. Together, hand in hand, we walked to the commons. As we sat on one of the couches I thought about the past week. I had just met this girl on Monday. It's Wednesday, now, and I kissed her last night. If Zach hadn't of come home we would have done a little more than just one kiss. I looked over at Eve, she was talking to someone. I looked down at our still clasped hands. I never wanted to let go of her hand for some reason.

I was more than depressed when the bell rang, telling us to get our lazy asses to class. Going to class meant I had to let go of Eve's hand. She looked up to me and put her hand in my jacket pocket. My eyes widened as she leaned over and pressed a chaste kiss to my lips. She pulled away, leaving her hand in my pocket for a second longer before pulling away completely.

"See you in Bio." She smiled before walking the direction, opposite of where I was going. As I moved I felt something poking me in my pocket. Reaching in, I withdrew a note and quickly opened it.

'Cody,

I can come with you tonight. Maybe we could grab dinner this time? I was hoping nothing will be awkward after last night. I really had a good time.

I just wanted to let you know that I really like you. I like you as more than a friend, actually, even though I only met you Monday. I was slightly hoping that if you liked me in the same way we could get together this weekend and go on a real date.

Lemme know.

Eve'

I looked down at the note that was lying on my desk. My French teacher was away and we had a sub, so we were watching some Disney movie in French. I withdrew my pencil and wrote an answer.

'Eve,

That's great! Sure, do you want to do to the restaurant in the Tipton, they have really great food, and I haven't seen my mom's show in a while. Nothing is awkward, don't worry about it. I had a good time too, maybe this time we can make a little more headway on our studying.

I like you too. As more than a friend. And you beat me to it. I was going to ask you to the amusement park Saturday, would that work?

Lemme know.

Cody.

Oh! PS: Meet me at the same place after school. I have to take Zach to the dentist at lunch. See ya!'

I folded the note back up and planned to give it to her next class. I laid my head on my binder and stared at the television. It was getting kind of annoying watching a bunch of computer animated fish trying to find each other…in French.


Eventually class ended and was out of that class like a shot. I never wanted to see Finding Nemo ever again! I dropped my French things in my binder and pulled my biology book and notebook from the top shelf. I walked through the halls, maneuvering gracefully through the packed school towards my biology class room. I sat in my seat and smiled as Eve sat next to me. Zach, Max and Tapeworm soon joined us at our table.

"So, Eve, are you and Cody dating?" Max leaned her chin in palm.

"Uh…" Eve looked at me, blushing slightly.

"Of course!" I smiled and put an arm around her waist, slipping the note in her pocket as I let go of her.

"Good for you guys!" Tapeworm nodded putting a spoonful of pudding in his mouth

"Pudding?" Zach and I said together.

"Yes, pudding. You gotta problem with that." Tapeworm added another heaping spoonful of pudding to his mouth. Max grimaced.

"Alright class, listen up. As it would seem I have a meeting this period. I have brought in a sub to keep an eye on you. Do the work on the board and I expect it done by next class. I'll see you next class. Bye." The class watched, in surprise, as our teacher walked out the door. I smirked.

"Do you know what this means?" Zach looked over at me and I nodded. Together, Max, Zach, Tapeworm, Eve and I planned the downfall of this sub.


We all ran out of the class room laughing like a bunch of preschoolers. It was comical. We were holding our noses because of the rotten egg smell coming from the room we had so quickly exited. We laughed and quickly headed for cover as the smell intensified. Zach-being the prankster that he is-pulled the fire alarm. We all grabbed the things from our lockers and quickly ran for the parking lot. Tapeworm, Zach and Max piled into Max's car while Eve and I quickly got into my car and sped towards the nearest fast food restaurant.

"You do realize we can't go back there?" Max waved a French fry casually in the air.

"Yeah…" Zach nodded.

"You do realize that we'll have detention for the rest of our high school careers!" Tapeworm threw a chicken strip into the air and caught it.

"Yeah..." I nodded.

"Do you realize I just drank your milkshake?" I heard Eve's voice next to my ear. I looked over and sure enough she was sucking on the straw of my milkshake. I sighed.

"Yeah..." I moved to get up and order another one, but Zach was up before I was.

"I'll get it." Zach smiled at me and moved towards the cashier and the counter. I watched Zach; that was odd.

"Wow, you're brother is being really nice, Cody." I turned and found Eve smiling.

"There's always a catch." I looked back towards the counter and found that Zach was sucking on the straw sticking out of the cup holding my milkshake. "See."

"Buying fee, sorry." I looked at my already-been-sucked-on milkshake and sighed, taking the top off.

"Whatever." I sipped at my chocolate frozen milk. "What are we going to do now?"

"We could go to the zoo!" Tapeworm smiled, "I heard that they let you in the pens, this week only."

"That means we get to play with the lions?" Zach smiled.

"No…" Tapeworm's face fell. "You can't play with the ones that might eat you."

"We should go anyway." Eve spoke to my left. I was amazed, she really hadn't spoken much since we got here; she just sat there with her hamburger.

And thus it was decided, we were going to go to the zoo. Apparently Tapeworm wanted to play with the giraffes.
