Authors Note: Hey sorry if I haven't posted in FOREVER I just got caught up with things.......... but I'm back baby!

Zoey ran into the cabin, her heart broken in 2 and her mind filled with anger. Upon entering the filthy thing she broke down in tears, Dakota immediately ran to her side.

Zoey: (in between sobs) Oh Dakota (sniff) when I asked him to tell my his secret (sniff) he just looked into space!

Zoey cried even more and started to cough.

Dakota: Shh sweetie, its going to be alright, just calm down.

It took all of Zoeys strength to stop sobbing, but she did.

Dakota: Okay, now tell me everything.

Zoey: Well (sniff) I did what you told me to, but he just acted like a jerk, so I let him go.

Zoey gets a very sharp pain in her stomach.

Dakota: Are you okay? I mean besides the whole ''break-up with someone who you weren't even with thing'.

Zoey: No, its just................ I thought letting Mike go would be a relief but I'm thinking it was the wrong choice.

Dakota: Thats natural Zo. When you break up with a guy you have alot of feelings for, you always THINK its the wrong choice. But in reality, it was the best choice.

Zoey: When will I start to feel like that?

Dakota: Depends how much you liked the guy.

Zoey: Well, what do I do till then?, because right now I just feel like crying.

Dakota: (smiles) How about a little girl-time?

Zoey: (smiles) Sure, what were you thinking?

Dakota: Oh I have a genius idea.

While the girls got busy doing whatever, back in the guys cabin Cameron was getting really worried.

Cameron: (thinking) Oh, where is he? Zoey could've hurt him! or he could've ran off into the woods! Wait wait, calm down Cam hes only been gone for..............................2 hours, I'm sure hes FINE! (nervous chuckle) (out loud) Mikes a dead man.

Suddenly the cabin door bursts open sending rain and wind on demolition throughout the small building. Cameron looked at the door, hoping it was Mike; but instead Scott stood there coated in mud.

Cameron: Scott!

Cameron ran at full speed to the taller boy, causing a head-on collision that resulted in both of them flying into the muddy grass. Scott rubbed his bleeding head and glared at the bubble boy.

Scott: What the f### was that for?!?

Cameron: S-sorry, I just hoped you had seen Mike.

Scott: Seen Mike? what happened to that weirdo?

Cameron: Zoey had taken him into the woods 2 hours ago, they got into a fight and he still isn't back.

Scott: (rolls eyes) Did it ever cross your mind to go out and LOOK for him instead of worrying like a little girl?

Cameron glared at Scott slightly for the insult, but simply shook his head.

Cameron: Will you help me?

Scott: Why not? Better find him today than go on a ''look for Mike'' challenge tomorrow.

Elsewhere in the film room, Chris cursed at the red-headed teen.

Chris: F###, now what are we gonna do for a challenge?

Back with Scott and Cameron. The boys had grabbed some supplies from the cabin and set out for their odd cast member. Truthfully, Scott had thought they'd easily find Mike crying on a rock or something, but after 30 minutes of walking and no sign of him; he swore they were boned.

Scott: Jesus, how far could he h-

Scotts thoughts had been interrupted by a loud scream, a scream that was unmistakably Mikes. The two bolted to the direction of it, and sitting near a cave trying to pry a snake off his arm, was said weirdo.

Cameron: Mike!

Cameron ran as fast as he could to his friend (Scott walked), without words he grabbed onto the snake with all his strength and pulled. Unfortunately, the boys were considerably weak, so this was going no where fast.

Scott groans. He jogged up to Mike and forcibly ripped the snake (and some skin) off of his arm. Mike yelled in pain and uncontrollably jumped up and down, cursing like a sailor.

Scott: Calm down, it was just a snake b-

Scott was once again cut off, but this time it was because of the horrible sight he saw. Mikes snake bite was REALLY big, nearly going up his entire arm length, it was also red and swelling, the worst part of it was all the blood coming out of the bite wounds.

Scott: Oh je-

Scott almost immediately threw up after such a horrible sight, and so did Cameron. Because they needed to help Mike they turned away from him to stop puking.

Cameron: Mike are you okay?

Mike: No, I think the bite is draining me of my blood.

Scott: What kind snake was that anyway?

Cameron: I'm not sure, it didn't seem be like any other snake I've read about, did you get a good look at it Mike?

Mike: It had rainbow-colored scales, big raspberry eyes and teeth like a shark.

Cameron: Interesting.

Scott: Are we gonna chat or are we gonna help this guy?!?

Cameron: Sorry!

Scott picked up Mike and the boys raced into the infirmary. Lucky for them Chef was still on duty.

Cameron: (quickly) Chefmikegotbitbyasnakeandheslosingalotofblood!

Chef: What?

Scott: (yells) He said Mike got bit by a snake and hes losing alot of blood!

Chef: Oh.

Chef put Mike on one of the gurneys and inspected his bite.

Chef: Hm-m, just what I thought.

Cameron: What?

Chef: Mike was bit by a Dashion snake.

Scott: Dashion snake?

Chef: Its a snake Chris had created for the island, its bite is 40 times worse than an average snakes.

Mike: (weakly) Will......I..........die?

Chef: No, but you wish were dead tonight. You see the bite causes whatever place it bit you to burn like lava, or have it cold as Minnesota during winter.

Mike: Oh Jesus no.

Chef: (smirks) Sorry kid.

Chef stabs Mikes arm with a tube connected to a bag of blood.

Chef: Lie down, the swelling will go down by tomorrow.

Scott: Will he be able to compete?

Chef: As long as no extra pressure is on his arm.

Scott: (smirks) Good to know.

At that moment Chris enters the room, looking as smug as ever.

Chris: Did I hear that a heart-broken camper was injured? (laughs) classic.

Mike: (weakly) If....my.......blood.....loss.....wasn't........so.......high.........I'd................hit..........you.

Chris: Sure you would.

Chef: (whispers) I'm glad your here man, we need to talk.

Chef and Chris step outside to discuss an issue.

Chris: (whispers) What?

Chef: (whispers) What are we going to do about that weirdo?

Chris: (whispers) What are you talking about?

Chef: (whispers) We could get sued off our asses if we don't haggle with that boy!

Chris: (laughs) (whispers) Don't worry dude I checked, the guys an orphan! and the administrators don't give a s### about him!

Chef: (whispers) Sweet man.

Chef goes back into the tent and tells the boys to leave Mike so he can rest (also because he was dead tired). That night, Mike had tried to sleep but his arm felt on fire, so he had to keep going outside to soak it in the rain, eventually he just moved the gurney slightly out so he could sleep.

Finally, morning came and most of the campers headed to the mess hall, however those who did not pay attention to last nights events, were confused to see Mikes arm wrapped tightly in gauze and Zoey nowhere to be seen.

Lightning: Hey weird dude, what happened to your sha-arm?

Mike stopped pushing his ''oatmeal'' with his spoon and looked weakly at the jock.

Mike: I got bit by a snake.

Lightning: Damn! that must of been one nasty-ass sha-snake!

Mike: It was.

Lightning: But if Lightning was there, Lightning would've beat the sha-crap outta that sha-snake!

Jo: (laughs) Yeah, only you could've been dumb and weak enough to get bit Pointy.

Mike: It was a big snake!

Cameron: Yeah Jo, give him a break, its bad enough Zoey dumped him last night.

Jo laughs so hard that she nearly falls off her chair.

Jo: So (laughs) the only girl willing to date you the dumbest actor ever dumps you? (laughs) oh the misery!

Lightning laughs along with Jo at the humility of the situation, Mike just blushes and looks down embarrassingly.

Mike: (meekly) We weren't.........really dating........we............just liked each other.

Jo: Whatever, a breakups a breakup in my humility book.

Lightning: Where is that sha-red haired chick anyway?

For the first time that morning, everyone shut up.

Scott: Sparkys right, where is she?

Dakota: (smiles) Oh I think she'll be here any minute.

As if that was her cue, Zoey walked through the door looking very.........different. Instead of her usual simple outfit Zoey sported a gorgeous new one, curtesy of Dakota. Her top was a black criss-cross one with a dark blue ruffly camisole, and a matching skirt. Zoeys hair was down for change and slightly curled, in place of her usual pink flower was a yellow one. Lastly she had silver flip flops, gold bangles and noticeable pink lipstick.

Apparently with this new look came a new sense of confidence, because Zoey walked to get her breakfast like nothing had happened.

Lightning: Damn girl! you look sha-smoking!

Zoey: Thanks.

Lightning: You wanna sit with the Lightning?

Zoey: No thank you, I'd rather sit with Dakota.

Lightning: You'll come around baby, they always do.

Zoey smiled at him and sat near Dakota, who out of respect chose the seat farthest from Mike. However Cameron nudged Lightning in anger.

Cameron: (whispers) Lightning, could you be a little more sensitive?, they just broke up.

Lightning: Who cares bro? Zoey is sha-hot!

Cameron rolls his eyes, and looks over at Mike whos jaw was wide open.

Cameron: Mike? you okay buddy?

Mike: What? oh, y-yeah I'm fine.

Actually Mike was not okay, if anything he was worse. When Zoey walked into the room, he had thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. And when she coolly denied Lightning, he realized he held her back from being the person she wanted to be. Mike sighed, shes better off without a freak like me holding her back anyways, he thought.

I bet he never knew how wrong he was, because at her table Zoey was on the verge of freaking out.

The previous night, Dakota totally makeovered her and gave her a crash-course on acting cool. Dakota explained that she needed to show Mike that she was much better off without him, even if she really wasn't.

Zoey didn't mind the new look, it was acting like Mike never existed part she hated. Yes she was still mad at him for everything, but she figured they could at least be friends.

Zoey was about to break down and just tell Mike her feelings when-

Chris: (over megaphone) Campers! finish your slop and meet me at the docks in 10 minutes for today's challenge!

The campers all groan and start to funnel out of the mess hall, while two of them think similar thoughts.

Mike: I'll miss you.

Zoey: I don't want to hate you.
