The next morning, I woke up as bright and early as ever. I got dressed in a pretty yellow sun dress and made my way to the Sky Deck and pondered the events of last night in my head. I tried to get it straight in my head; I liked Zack...and I was pretty sure that he liked me too...
When Zack eventually woke up and came onto the Sky Deck, he ran past me as soon as he saw me. I put my hand to my heart, as I felt pretty sure that it had hurt when he ignored me.
Just then, my heart began to beat incredibly fast as I saw none other than Cody Martin, who was currently walking towards Zack. I held my breath; hopefully, Zack would not tell of our encounters the night before.
"Hey Zack!" called Cody, waving at Zack. I hurried away, in a random direction. I was not really sure where I was headed to. As long as it was away from Cody, I didn't mind.
Just then, somebody careered around the corner and crashed into me. I was about to protest, until I saw that it was Zack, and my heart seemed to melt in my chest as I looked up into his beautiful eyes.
"I'm so, so, so sorry!" Zack gasped, holding out one hand to help me up. I took his hand, smiling at him. 'Wow! This is so sweet and polite and courteous of him. I've never seen this side of Zack before.' I thought to myself, with a grin.
"Zack." I started "We need to talk."
I frowned as I brushed the dust from the floor off of my dress. I blushed a bright scarlet as I noticed Zack smiling lovingly at me.
Zack muttered a quick yes, to which I nodded approvingly. I pointed towards the maid's closet beside us. Zack shrugged, and I yanked him inside.
"Zack, I know you felt something when we kissed, so don't try to deny it out of loyalty to –" I babbled, in a rush. There was just so much to say, and not enough time.
"I'm not going to deny it." Zack interrupted, looking at me in a soulful way that made me flush and look down at the floor "I felt sparks last night, Bailey."
"Well, I'm glad you feel the same way." I replied cautiously, looking at Zack to see if he meant it.
"But what are we going to tell Cody?" Zack asked, sighing heavily "He's my brother."
I bit my lip, feeling suddenly guilty. I realised that I was putting Zack through hell right now; Cody was Zack's brother and it would hurt Cody to see me and Zack together. Then, hurting Cody would be hurting Zack. It was all so confusing!
"And your friend." Zack added, raising an eyebrow accusingly and crossing his arms.
"Fine. I guess he is...even now." I replied reluctantly. Cody had barely talked to me since we broke up. I didn't know if he still considered me a friend. "I still like him..." I added.
"But not in that way!" I gasped quickly, after seeing the suddenly panicked and disapproving look on Zack's face. He beamed at me, and it made me feel really happy and warm inside.
