Living Not Dreaming [Suite Life on Deck]

09 - Flirting

"You know," Jack said, getting up from his bed in his and Evan's cabin, "you didn't have to pretend you liked Becky."

"Hey, it's fine," Evan shrugged as he closed the dorm room behind him. "It was Zack and I's fault that you landed a date with her and her almost killing you for being honest with her."

Jack laughed nervously.

"How was it?" Jack raised his eyebrows. "The date?"

"It wasn't too bad," Evan tilted her head, "I mean, she's great and all, but..."

"Too aggressive?" Jack offered. 

"Yeah," Evan nodded.

"What are you going to do about the wrestling match tomorrow?" Jack asked.

"I don't know," Evan shrugged, "I guess show up? Oh, god, I gotta get rid of her," the realization had hit Evan of what he had gotten himself into for taking over Jack's date.

Evan bit his lip.

"Oh!" Jack said. "I have an idea!"

"Yeah?" Evan said, hopeful. "What is it?"

"We need Woody!" Jack said. "C'mon!"

Evan followed Jack out of their room and to Cody and Woody's room.

Jack knocked on the door, waiting for a response.

"Hey, guys," Cody said, greeting the two.

"Hey, Cody," Jack said, quickly, "where's Woody?"

"Oh, he's with Zack's ro -"

"Thanks, man," Jack smiled. 

He turned around and knocked on Zack's door.

"Uh, rude!" Cody exclaimed.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever!" Jack said, not paying attention to Cody.

"Yes, Jack?" Zack said, opening his cabin dorm.

Jack entered the room and Evan followed.

"Come in," Zack said after the two entered.

"Woody, we need your help," Jack said.

"Oh, really?" Woody said, excitedly, standing up from Zack's bed.

Jack understood why Woody would be excited at his words. No one turned to Woody for help. He often messes up whatever he's helping others with, leading to them not going to him anymore for help. Not only that, but everyone that attended Seven Seas High knew that Woody wasn't the brightest. 

There was Zack, who was lazy and not smart, school wise, unlike his twin brother, Cody, who is smarter. But, unlike Cody, Zack is a good strategists and is, what Jack likes to say, street - smarts and can be hard working and smart when it comes to things he's interested it.

"Yeah," Jack nodded.

"What do you need?"

"We need you to steal Becky away from Evan," Jack said.

"What?" Woody's smile dropped in horror.

"Wait, I thought she was dating you," Zack said, pointing at Jack.

"Yeah, until I pretended to like her when Jack told her he wasn't interested," Evan explained.

Jack nodded.

"Oh," Zack said.

"Woody, please," Jack begged. "You need to sweep Becky off her feet."

"How - how do I do that?" Woody asked.
