Zoey stood frozen in her spot, she couldn't move, her feet wouldn't let her. All she wanted to do was run up to Chase and wrapped her arms around him, but shock wouldn't let her.
She wanted to cry or scream or doing something. Her throat was dry, and tears started to form in the corner of her eyes.
'Come on Zoey. It's just Chase. Pull yourself together.'
Why was this so hard? It was Chase. Just one of her best friends in the world.
Biting her lip with a doubtful look in her eyes, she forced herself to look at him in the eyes, and could barely stop the tears from spilling out of her eyes, so she ran.

A tall brunette girl stepped out of her mother's car, her mini-skirt showing of her long, tan legs.
"Nicole, are you sure you don't need any help getting to your dorm?" her mother asked in a slightly high voice, helping her oldest daughter get her bags out of the trunk.
"Nah." Nicole waved her hand in the air, her brown eyes scanning the campus. "I got it."

"…Maybe she ran from your face…?" Logan offered with a shrug of the shoulder, trying to break the ice.
Quinn rolled her eyes, and she and Michael smacked him over the head.
"Hey!" Logan exclaimed in defense, his hands admittedly on his head.
Quinn rolled her eyes once more, and sighed, looking hopelessly at Logan. "Stop it," she whisper, her eyes wondering over to Chase, who just looked heartbroken. "You're not helping." she hissed, narrowing her eyes slightly at her boyfriend.
"Well, sorry!" Logan argued back, scowling, but Quinn knew his real intentions.
"Just- don't do it again, okay?" her lips turning upwards at his pouting face, she was so soft when it came to Logan.
He just smirked, and kissed her on the cheek.
"Ahem." Michael coughed, and Lola gagged.
Chase, however, wasn't paying attention to the group, instead was arguing with himself rather he should go after Zoey or just wait for her to talk to him.
Michael, now unattached himself from the Lola, Quinn, and Logan argument, looked over towards Chase with a concerned look in his eyes. "Bushy, I suggest you go after her." he patted him on the back, and with one last look, walked over to Lola, Quinn, and Logan, he would let Chase decide what he was going to do next.

Nicole scowled slightly, just who did that chick think she was?! She didn't even say sorry!
"Excuse you!" Nicole shouted snottily, and Zoey turned around surprised at the familiar voice.
Chase far from her mind for that second, she exclaimed. "Nicole?!"
Nicole blinked, lowering her sunglasses, and equally exclaimed. "Zoey?!"
Zoey broke into a large smile before running up to hug her best friend.
"You can back!" Zoey shouted the obvious, breaking away from there reunion hug. "I missed you so much!"
Nicole grinned sheepishly. "Yeah… I'm not so boy crazy anymore." she laughed slightly, really happy to see her best friend anymore.
"Good!" Zoey exclaimed, laughing, thinking that only Nicole could ever make her laugh this hard. She must've missed her more than she knew. I mean, sure, Lola and Quinn were great, but they were best friends, and Nicole was her best friend.
She kind of felt lost without her at PCA.
"So, how many changes are there?" Nicole asked playfully, not realizing just how many there actually were.
Zoey frowned, and looked up to Nicole with sad eyes.

James Garret sighed, looking at the yellow piece of paper with annoyance. Okay, just when he was getting used to Logan and Michael, they moved him!
He sighed, inwardly shrugging, it wasn't that bad, he suppose. Plus, that means more friends, huh?
Groaning slightly, the tall blond grabbed his bags, whilst rolling his eyes before heading towards his new dorm room.

"You're not going after her, are you?" Michael asked Chase after a few minutes of him just standing there with a bemused look on his face.
He shook his head. "No."
"But why?!" Lola exclaimed, pushing Chase in the shoulder slightly. "You need to go talk to her!"
"Lola," Quinn said, rolling her eyes, grabbing her best friends left arm, she gave the boys one last look. "Miss Drama Queen and I are going to go unpack, you guys need to catch up, so we'll see you later, okay?" smiling slightly at Logan, she and Lola left without another word.
x.
"Vince?" James asked in surprised, walking into his new dorm room, surprised to see Vince unpacking.
The tall boy grinned at James, and did a 'man hug'. "What's up, James?" he asked, just as surprised as the other boy. "You're my new roommate, aren't you?" Vince asked, stating the obvious.
James nodded quietly. "Yeah… I guess I am." he shrugged, and Vince laughed slightly. "Better you than Firewire!"
James laughed with him, setting his stuff down on the floor. "So, do you have any idea why they moved me?"
Vince looked at him strangely. "Uh… I dunno. Though I did heard Chase was back…"
"Chase…?"
"Oops… I wasn't suppose to say that, was I?"
A/N: Ah, I love Vince. :DD
Okay, I am very, very, very sorry this took so long! But I've been extremely busy with school, but it's summer now for me, so more updates/stories to come!
Also, I'm sorry about the shortness of this chapter, and I really just wanted to end it at Vince. And yes, Nicole is back. :DD
And if you guys think that any of the characters are OOC, please let me know. I try very hard to keep them all in character, because I know how important that is to some people, so please tell me if you thing how I should add this and that to each character.
On a last note, please review?
