Zoey screamed piteously when she entered her dorm.

"What's up, mate?" Moze asked her.

"Mrs. Bromwell is such a meanie. I've got a C in chemistry." Zoey weeped. "I've never been any worse than a straight B in anything."

Mose and Addie comforted Zoey.

"And with a C, I may forget about Harvard ... that's so unfair from Bromwell." Zoey sighed deeply.

"You may still get extra credits or a tutor." Addie remarked.

Zoey nodded. "Quinn once tried to tutor me. But it was ... like ... if you are able to follow her tutoring lessons, you don't need tutoring to begin with ..."

"I know that ..." Addie told her. "It isn't much better with Mary Ferry. Fortunately I'm all content with a C or D in science stuff. I don't need a good college, it's just an obstacle to creativity."

Moze shrugged. "Good for you! But there have to be some tutors out there who are not cerebral narcissists."

Zoey shrugged.

Suddenly, Addie shrieked.

Zoey wondered what was going on.

"A mouse! Or rat, even?" Addie couldn't calm down.

Quinn's two-way TV activated itself, making Quinn's face appear. "Shut up, you silly wenches! We need to concentrate on a scientific experiments!"

Zoey was upset. "If there's a rat in our dorm, we may shriek as much as we want to."

"A rat? Oh no, that's my rat!" Quinn sobbed. "I was training her for dancing, but then she escaped."

"Don't worry. I'll ask my friend Cookie[[19]] for his pet weasel, that should fix the problem!" Moze suggested.

Quinn protested vigorously.

"Pets are strictly illegal at the PCA! They didn't permit my dog Nancy, either!" Addie reminded her mates.

Zoey nodded. "That goes for both the weasel and the rat!"

"Whatever, get your rat's ass out of our room, as soon as possible!" Moze commanded Quinn. She was seconded by Zoey and Addie.

In the evening, Michael and Chase had decided to visit Zoey in her room. Their basketball training had been cancelled after Michael had slipped on a basket ball on the way to the toilets. They opened the door.

"Hey! What a stench!" Michael squealed. "That isn't nice!"

Chase nodded, but then ... "Arrrrghhh!" He squealed in agony and froze to a block of stone.

"What's up, Chase?" Michael wondered. But then he saw a picture of horror: Zoey and Logan lying on Zoey's bad, both asleep. "What the ..."

"Zoey and Logan? That can't be!" Chase sobbed. "It's so ... wrong!" He stammered and was about going to throw up.

Michael took his cellular phone, whereupon Dustin was on his way to Zoey's dorm.

"What has this jerk done to Zoey?" Chase whimpered. "He must have given her some drugs!"

"But Chase!" Michael tried to calm him down. "Logan has been our friend for like six years now. And you said yourself that you and Zoey are just friends, so she's free to ..."

Chase didn't accept Michael's excuses. "And for that reason, I know that Logan is just a jerk! And Zoey can't date such a jerk, it's so ..." Chase couldn't bear it any longer. He threw up and spoilt Zoey's plush squid.

Dustin arrived, trailed by Megan and Nevel. "What has that jerk done to my sister?" Dustin was upset. "Nevel, you're right! Logan is going to rue the day!" He tried to shake Zoey awake. "Zoey! Zoey! What has that pervert done unto you?"

Megan and Nevel agreed wholeheartedly with their pal.

Finally, Logan woke up while Zoey was still stuck in the twilight ,zone. It was already past curfew.

"Fix it here, while Nevel and I are going to distract Coco!" Megan suggested.

Chase, Michael, and Dustin agreed.

"What are you doing here?" Chase interrogated Logan.

"Er ... what does it look like?" Logan replied quickly. He had no clue why he had fallen asleep, but the situation was perfect. It couldn't go any better: Chase and even Megan would be his witnesses for him having made out with Zoey! A witness that even Drake Parker had to accept. This would warrant the pole position for Logan. He could defeat Drake in their bet!

Chase had to throw up again, right on Logan's pradas.

"Do you know what these shoes have taken me?" Logan complained.

Chase shrugged. "Zoey and you ... that's totally sick!"

"Oh, is it?" Logan boomed sadistically.

Suddenly, they heard a scream from outside the dorm.

Dustin was still trying to get his elder sister to wake up. "What has this beast done to you?"

Zoey moaned. "Dustin! What are you doing here?"

Logan wasn't pleased about Zoey waking up. "And out of here ..."He jumped out through the window.

"Hey! We're not done!" Chase yelled after Logan, but in vain.

Moze and Addie bounded in. "Hey guys, what the heck is going on outside?"

Chase and Michael shrugged cluelessly.

"We just entered the hallway, and what did we see?" Addie shrugged. "Coco in a net in suspense from the ceiling!"

Dustin chuckled. "That was Megan's work! So we boys won't get caught in the girls' dorms after eight p.m.!"

Moze shrugged. "OK, but what are you doing here, anyways?"

"We just wanted to come over for a visit, and we found Zoey and Logan ..." Chase stammered. "Logan and Zoey ..." He couldn't help vomiting again.

"Zoey! What has that jerk done to you?" Chase interrogated baffled Zoey.

Zoey shrugged. "Nothing! You have to believe me! And would you please wipe your vomit?"

"Come on!" Chase insisted. "You can't fall asleep in Logan's arms without reason."

"OK, if you really want to know it ... you remember that I wasn't content with my recent mark in chemistry?" Zoey reminded Chase.

Both Chase and Michael nodded.

"Well ... Logan is my tutor for chemistry ..." Zoey shrugged helplessly. "He just isn't proud of it."

Chase started rolling on the floor laughing, even in his own vomit. "Oh please, Zoey,you can't be serious. Talk you again tomorrow, or maybe you'll just tell me another lie, won't you? Tutoring doesn't cause you to fall asleep in Logan's arms!" He stood up, grabbed Michael, and they disappeared through the window.

"But Chase!" Zoey screamed in despair, but in vain.

Dustin, Moze and Addie assured that they believed Zoey's version.

Nevel and Quinn bounded in.

"My rat still isn't unconscious!" Quinn screamed. "I've been defeated by a beast with a pea-sized brain!" She weeped piteously. "I think I give up on science!"

"No, you can't!" Nevel begged Quinn. "Forget the rat, you're still the smartest!"

"How did you try to make the rat pass out?" Moze asked Quinn.

"I've developed a nervous gas, similar to the one with coconut scent [[20]] and then ..." Quinn sighed. She was still totally embarassed.

Zoey sighed. "Oh, know I know from whence that stench came ... it must have knocked Logan and myself unconscious, once again ..."

Addie and Moze sighed. "We'll talk to Chase, tomorrow ..."

Zoey thanked her roommates.

Megan bounded him. "Look what I've found ..." She held Quinn's naughty rat in her hand. "Isn't he sweet?" She invited Nevel and Dustin to pet the rat.

"Zoey, may I buy me a pet rat?" Dustin begged his elder sister who shook her head, disapproving rigorously. "A hamster? A guinea pig?"

"Pets are not legal at this boarding school!" Zoey reminded Dustin. "And aren't you afraid of animals of that size?[[21]]"

Dustin shook his head. "No more!"

Quinn took her cage and locked the rat inside it.

"Why does Quinn get away with all those beasts?" Dustin sighed. "It's not fair ..."

Zoey sent Nevel and Dustin away.

"Guess I may do this ..." Megan pushed a button on some remote control.

A thud and a scream were heard from outside the dorm. Obviously, it was Coco's voice.

"I'm so excited!" Megan told Zoey and Moze. "My cousin Carly[[22]] will also go to this school, just a few weeks from now. She looks a lot like my, they tell me. Her guardian and brother Spencer[[23]] is going to work at nearby Harry-Joyner[[24]]-Museum for modern arts."

"Er ... I hope she's a bit nicer ..."Zoey chuckled. Megan had often enough scared her.

"Does she happen to be from Seattle, like me?"[[25]] Quinn pondered. "I may vaguely remember ..."

Megan nodded and waved good night to the girls.

Moze met Chase in the big break. "Hi bro, I believe you that Logan is a jerk, but..."

"But what?" Chase still had the taste of vomit in his mouth, and hearing about Logan and Zoey didn't help at all.

"Zoey's story was not a lie. Logan is indeed her tutor. A few years ago, he spent his summer with his grandpa who was a researcher at Caltech. He forced Logan to learn a lot about chemistry. Logan hates it, but he still remembers a lot. That's why Mrs. Bromwell ordered him to tutor Zoey." Moze explained patiently.

Chase banged his head against the wall. "Oh, sorry for not believing Zoey. But I guess that Logan tried to abuse the situation."

Moze nodded. "Indeed. He runs for the title of the biggest jerk at the PCA."

Chase sighed. "I may imagine that. It almost makes me throw up again. And I guess I ought to apologise unto Zoey."

Moze and Addie nodded.

"Maybe I should write a song and play it unto her." Logan pondered.

"You play the guitar?" Addie wondered. "So do I!"

Chase nodded. "Cool! I may write lyrics, and I've recently started playing the guitar, but for composition, I need Michael's help."

Addie smiled. "I'm not a great composer, either. Maybe we may teach each other what we don't know?"

"Sounds great! Not that I understand it, does it make sense? But I like it." Chase smiled while patting Addie on the shoulders.

Addie patted him back.

They reached Zoey.

"Sorry for not believing you!" Chase sighed piteously.

Zoey nodded. "That's OK. Logan did everything to make you believe that ..." Zoey was too scared to continue her own words. "He sure has to pay for that!" Zoey's eyes gleamed.

Chase smiled. "But how?"

Zoey shrugged. "I thought about hiding Quinn's rat in his pants, but Megan had some better idea. I leave it all to her."[[26]]

A few steps later, they saw Drake and Logan begging Quinn. Their faces displayed pink stripes.

"Please, we suffer from some strange skin disease. The interweb says that their's a remedy against it which is contained in ..."Logan stammered.

Drake whimpered: "Rat Piss! We need it desperately lest we want to undergo some painful surgery."[[27]]

"OK, just stick your heads into the rat cage and wait until the rat pisses all over your face!"Quinn ordered the jerks. Then she launched her fender caster. "The rat needs music in order to dance!"

Everyone laughed while the jerks screamed in agony.

At the same time, Megan dragged Josh to Zoey. "I've found a decent tutor for you. Josh is the best."

"Hi Josh!" Zoey smiled.

Josh twitched like a dead fish. "Hi! Let's start with the lessons."

Nevel smiled and highfived Megan when he watched the rat dancing and pissing all over the faces of the jerks.
