The sun light poured down on the Sky Deck. It is just a week left of school before graduation. A couple months ago four students went on an adventure on Barbados and fought pirates. The four students were Bailey Pickett, Maya Bennett, and Zack and Cody Martin.
They were greeted as heroes and were treated to a free dinner and were given an extra three hours after curfew to have the Sky Deck to themselves as a reward of saving so many townspeople on the island of Barbados. Since then, they took things easy.
Cody was finishing his shift as towel boy and was greeted by two arms wrapping around him from behind in a warm embrace. He smiled as he knew exactly who it was that was behind him. He turns around face to face with his sweetheart, Bailey. She smiled at him and he smiled back. Cody saw that Bailey was wearing her locket and key. She was also wearing a purple shirt with tight blue pants and original low top styled converse.
"Are you almost done with your shift", Bailey asked.
"I have five minutes left, can you wait that long", Cody asked in response.
"Of course. I just wait at the Easy Squeezy. Will we be going on our date after wards", Bailey replied.
"Yes of course. But not right away because I'll have to change", Cody said.
"Ok, darling, I'll be waiting for you", Bailey said.
She kisses Cody on his right cheek and sits down at the juice bar. Once Bailey sits down, she sees someone that she hasn't seen a while. It's Holden, one of her and Cody's classmates. He approaches Bailey. He is wearing a blue polo shirt with khaki pants and black sneakers.
"Wow! Hey, Bailey! You look different. How have you've been? I haven't seen you around since Sophomore year", Holden exclaimed.
He sits down next to Bailey. She nervously scoots away from him without getting up from her spot.
"Hi, Holden. It's been awhile since we last saw each other. Now that I think back, I'm really sorry how I acted the last time we saw each other", Bailey replies.
Holden smiles and waves his hand like the past experience was nothing.
"Aw, don't mention it. London explained to me why you were acting so weird that night, it's ok. So, um, Bailey, would you like to catch up, you know go on a date with me. I given the thought of us being a couple, I would be happy for you to my girl", Holden asks.
Bailey was taken aback. She couldn't believe that Holden had the tenacity to even think that she would date him! She was extremely offended that even asked her that. Then all of a sudden the painful memories of breaking up with Cody in Paris came back to her.
She was so mad at herself for being more forward and convincing to Jean Luc that she was happily involved in a wonderful relationship with the most wonderfulness man in the whole universe which was her Cody! Bailey's blood boiled but then calmed herself down, trying to act rational towards Holden, hoping he didn't know about the incident. Bailey took the time to find the right words.
"Holden, I'm not sure that I'll be free. I mean there are two more weeks left of school and I need to be focused on writing and reading my speech as one of the valedictorians at the graduation ceremony", Bailey said.
"One of them? Who's the other one? It is that Cody guy over there", Holden said as he motioned to Cody.
Bailey couldn't help but smile at the site of Cody simply folding towels.
"Yes, he is the other valedictorian", Bailey firmly stated.
"Huh. Well, what you and I try to become more acquainted with each other over the summer", Holden asks.
"I'm sorry, Holden but I just don't think it will work out", Bailey said.
She nervously pushed a stray strand of hair behind her ear as Holden eyed at her.
"Why not", Holden pushed.
"I don't feel comfortable, could please leave me alone", Bailey nicely asked.
"No", Holden said.
"Please, Holden. I don't feel comfortable around you now", Bailey stressed.
While the conversation was occurring between Bailey and Holden, Cody was listening. He thought back to when he and Bailey were fighting and remembered Bailey mentioning that she tried to fend off Jean Luc. Cody then thought to himself that if he wasn't so worried about their one year anniversary date being perfect then he would have been close by and intervene Jean Luc from bothering his Bailey back then.
He was angry at himself for not a keeping a closer eye on his honey back then. But Cody decided that he can't dwell on the past on could have been and focus on the present and future. Cody took the opportunity to redeem himself this time around and intervene. He didn't want Holden bothering his Bailey-bunny.
Holden was about to get closer to Bailey to steal a kiss but Cody walked up to Bailey and Holden and interrupted him.
"Excuse me, Holden but I believe Bailey asked you to leave her alone. I would suggest that you leave her now or there will consequences", Cody said.
Agitated, Holden stood up from his chair and glared at Cody.
"What are you going to do to me, punch me, I don't think so. You're too weak and scrawny to even open a twist off cap from a jar or bottle", Holden mocked.
"Please. I'm not that weak and don't make me stoop down to your level and hit you", Cody said.
"Oh please! You couldn't hit me if you wanted to", Holden scoffed.
"Oh really", Cody asked.
"Yeah, really", Holden mocked.
"Ok then. You leave me no choice. I'm usually against using violence to make a point but I'll make an exception", Cody calmly said.
"Oh yeah, prove it", Holden said.
"Ok", Cody said.
He quickly swung his arm back and formed a fist with his hand. He punched Holden square in the stomach. Holden bent down in pain, moaning.
"Awww. I'm in so much pain", Holden growled.
"Oh by the way, you should of just taken Bailey's advice and left. She was doing you a favor by asking you politely to leave since she has a boyfriend, which is me", Cody said as he bent his head down to talk to Holden.
Holden just growled a little bit in pain before he left still hunched over. Cody then turned to face Bailey.
"You ok, sweetie? He didn't bother you too much, did he", Cody asked.
"No not at all, Cody. Thanks for asking", Bailey replied.
Cody sat down next to Bailey, where Holden was originally was sitting.
"My shift is over. I can't believe so much could happen in five minutes while you were waiting. Next time, you have to wait, I'll just prop you up on the desk and put a sign next to you, saying : 'Cody's girl, do not bother her'", Cody said.
"That won't be necessary; I'll just read a book. I'm sure no guy will try to bother me. No one really bothers a complete stranger when they're reading a book", Bailey said.
"Ok, I guess you're right. I hope that I didn't shock you too much with my forwardness towards Holden and punching him in the stomach", Cody said.
"No, you didn't. Your actions were minimal for getting the point across. I'm glad that you intervened. I have considered that action of yours as coming to my rescue", Bailey reassured.
Cody smiled at her reassuring words.
"Well ok. We'll go to my cabin and I'll change and we can go on our date", Cody said.
"What if Woody's there", Bailey asked.
"He's not. I know that he went on a date with Addison", Cody replied.
"Ok. I can just wait on your bed as you change in the bathroom", Bailey said.
Cody and Bailey stood up and walked to Cody and Woody's cabin. They walk down the corridor of the boy's cabin area hand in hand. When the couple arrived at the designated location, they bumped into Zack. He was wearing all black.
"Hey, Zack", Cody and Bailey said.
"Hi, guys. Bye, guys", Zack said.
He tried to rush off but was suddenly held off by Cody holding one of his arms.
"Hey, Zack, what's the rush", Cody asked.
"I got to go meet Maya for our date", Zack said.
"Oh, ok. Well, you two have fun", Cody said.
"Yeah, thanks, Code Red. Bye", Zack said.
Cody had let go of his brother's shoulder and he left. Cody opened the door to his cabin and him and Bailey entered the room. Bailey closed the door behind them. Cody led Bailey to his bed and let her settle herself down on his bed, seated comfortably on it. Cody got some new clothes and went into the bathroom to change. Bailey waited patiently for Cody to come out of the bathroom. When he came out, he had changed into tight black pants, a red shirt and black sneakers. He smiled came over to Bailey and she stood up from the bed. They walked out of the cabin and went on their date.
