Zora POV

I walked into the Banks House. I just got back home from vacation. My grandfather and I went to Hati to help build new homes with our church. 

"Honey I'm home" I yelled holding my arms out as Will and Carlton ran over to me

"Zee" Will yelled as he pushed Carlton out the way and lifted me up hugging me tightly

"I'm so glad your back. I had to hang out with Carlton all summer" Will said

"Hey" Carlton yelled offended as I laughed

"I'm so glad your back" Carlton said hugging me

"What is this" I asked touching his face noticing a mustache growing in

"You like it" he asked as I laughed

"I love it. You look even more handsome" I told him

"I'm so happy your home" he told me hugging me again as I laughed

"Me and my boys nothings ever gonna change that" I said wrapping my arms around the both of them

"Yeah" they told me flatly as my smile dropped

"I'm gonna get us something to drink" Carlton said as he walked into the kitchen

I walked over to Will and pulled him to the side

"Are we okay" I asked

Yeah why wouldn't we be okay" he asked me

"Last time we talk you practically told me you love me" I told him

"Nah we cool" he told me waving me off

"Will" I said

"Look its fine. We're friends. Okay" he told me as I nodded

"Okay well let's go hang out. We can go to the arcade get some pizza" I told him

"Can't I'm hanging out with Kathleen" he told me as I furrowed my eyebrows

"Who's that" I asked

"My girlfriend I told you I was over you" he told me

"Okay" I said as when Carlton walked back in

"Well Carlton we can hang out. We can watch some Disney Movies and sing along to all the words" I said as he gave me a water bottle

"Can't I'm hanging out with Michelle" He told me as I nodded

"We're so glad your home" Will told me as they both kissed my cheeks and walked out the living room

I sat down on the couch and put my chin in my hand

"Yep me and my boys. Nothing's changed" I said glumly as I looked over to the side and saw a picture of Will, Carlton, and I as I picked it up and looked at it

-----------------------------------------------------------

The next day Mr. Banks and my Grandfather took Ashley, Hilary, and I to the country club

We got back as Hilary and Ashley ran into the kitchen

"Dad got us all tickets to the People's Choice Awards." Hilary said as I sat at the table

"Thanks for butting in, Hilary. Anyway, the best part is--" Ashley started

"We get to sit with Arnold Schwarzenegger
and Maria Shriver." Hilary cut in

"Hilary, you promised I could tell." Ashley said

"I know. I lied. I am so excited! Everyone from the A list is gonna be there, which means
none of my friends are gonna be there, which means they are all going to corrode with envy and hate my guts. I love it!" Hilary said smiling

"I'm going to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Thank you, sir. Thank you!" Geoffrey said

"Hold on, Geoffrey." Mr. Banks told him

♪ When the shark bites ♪
♪ I'm going to meet
Arnold Schwarzenegger ♪
♪ I'm having dinner
with the Terminator ♪
♪ Uh, next Friday night
when the shark-- ♪ Geoffrey sang

"Geoffrey, Geoffrey You're not having dinner
with the Terminator. I didn't get you a ticket." Mr. Banks told him

"Ooh, that's ugly." Will said as I nodded

"Philip, how could you be so insensitive?
Geoffrey is a part of this family." Mrs. Banks said

"Major faux pas, dad." Carlton told him

"Poor Geoffrey. Like his life isn't sad enough already." Hilary said

"Uh, look, Geoffrey, I sincerely apologize for my oversight but since this,means so much to you and you are a part of the family
I'm sure someone here will be glad to give up their ticket for you." Mr. Banks said as we all walked out the kitchen

I feel bad for Geoffrey but I really wanna go. Is that selfish?

Will was inviting his girlfriend to dinner so we all got cleaned up and went outside

I walked outside with Carlton and Hilary as we looked at the food

"Takeout again?" Hilary asked

"No, Hilary, I bought a new set of Styrofoam." Mrs. Banks said sarcastically

"Gosh, mom, who put the rusty nails in your granola?" Carlton asked

"Look, all this hi-tech has got me a little on edge. I'm so sorry, sweetie." Mrs. Banks told him rubbing his cheek as he smiled at her letting her know it was okay

"What, takeout food again? What happened to the leg of lamb" Mr. Banks asked as he and my grandfather walked outside

"It's being cleaned! Is that a problem?Geoffrey, we're ready to serve dinner!" Mrs. Banks said as Will and his girlfriend walked up

"Takeout again?" Kathleen asked as Mrs. Banks glared at her

"My baby's observant. Isn't she observant?" Will asked

"Not that observant. Kathleen, your blouse
is unbuttoned." Mrs. Banks said

"Ah, let me." Will said

"Let her." Mr. Banks said

"Better idea." Will said as I walked up to them

"Zee. This is my girlfriend Kathleen. Kathleen this is Zora" Will introduced us as I shook her hand

"Hi nice to meet you" I told her smiling

"You too. Will wouldn't stop talking about you. He was so ready for you to come home" she told me as I smiled

"Oh well I'm happy to be home" I told her as I pulled Will to the side

"Will are you sure we okay" I asked him

"We're fine Zee. You said you wanted to be friends and I moved on" Will said as he walked away as Ashley walked up to me

"How long we avoiding this" she asked me as I looked confused

"Avoiding what" I asked

"This creepy love triangle/square/pentagon thing you guys got going on. Will's in love with you. You're in love with Carlton. But they both are in relationships and they're putting their pushing their true feelings and so are you" Ashley told me

"Me and my boys nothings changed" I told her smiling

"Everything changed. When are you guys gonna talk about this" She asked me

"We are handling this. We are being very mature about all this" I told her as she crossed her arms

"Really how" she asked

"By burying all our true feelings for each other and hopefully we don't explode" I told her

"Zo" Ashley started as she put her hand on my shoulder

"Girls its time for dinner" Mrs. Banks yelled as we walked over to the table

"That food smells terrible. I feel like I'm
sitting in coach." Hilary said as I sat down in between Will and Carlton

"Oh look the irony" Ashley said as I kicked her foot under the table

"Did you say something sweetheart" Mr. Banks asked

"Not a thing" Ashley said as we both fake smiled at each other

"Oh, thank you for inviting me to the People's Choice Awards." Kathleen said as Geoffrey dropped the bake potato on her plate

"Think nothing of it, it was no big deal." Mr. Banks said

'Oh, it was more than a big deal, Uncle Phil
it was a humongous deal!" Will said as Geoffrey dropped a bake potato on his plate

"I know, and we get to sit with all the stars!" Ashley said as Geoffrey dropped a bake potato on her plate

"People would kill to get those tickets." Hilary saud as Geoffrey gave us the tray

"Pardon me while I go get a knife." Geoffrey said as he walked away

"Philip!" Mrs. Banks said

"I'll get him a ticket." Mr. Banks told her

"Everyone, look what Will did. He cut my steak in the shape of a heart. Isn't he artistic?" Kathleen asked

"Uh, actually, that was a puppy." Will told her

"Oh, whatever it is, it's beautiful. I'm gonna save it. And every time I look at it, I'm gonna think of my baby." Kathleen said then they started making out. PDA makes me uncomfortable

"I'm sitting right here you know" I yelled pointing to ny seat

"Uh, excuse me. This is the dinner table, not the back seat of a Chevy." My grandfather said

"I wanna talk to you two in the other room. Now!" My Banks said as they got up and walked to the kitchen

"You guys wanna eavesdrop" my grandfather asked us as we all got up and walked to the kitchen

"Commitment is what this is all about.
And as a token of my commitment I got Kathleen this ring." Will said as he put the ring on her finger

"Oh, Will!" Kathleen gushed

"Oh, no." Mr. Banks groaned

"Oh, God!" Hilary said

"Your going to explode" Ashley whispered to me as I shook my head

"I am not" I told her

------------------------------------------------------------

It was Saturday Night as Ashley and I walked down the stairs. I was holding my heels and wearing my bunny slippers

"This dress makes me want to puke. You can't even tell I have a figure." Ashley said

"You're 13 years old. You're not allowed to have a figure." Mr. Banks said as I began tying Carlton's bowtie

"You look better." Kathleen said as her and Will walked into the living room

"No, no, baby, you look better." Will told her

"No, you look better." Kathleen told him

"Alright, I look better. Except for that rock.
Whoo, man! If you value your vision, you won't look directly into the rock." Will said putting on shades

"I love it, Will, thank you." Kathleen told him as they started making out

"Dad?" Carlton yelled as they stopped but Will hit the back of Carlton's head

"I'm ready." Mrs. Banks said as she walked down the stairs

"Finally! What took you so long?" Mr. Banks asked

"Oh, I just spent an hour chasing my outfit
on the new rotating dress rack." She said

"Why didn't you set the variable speed adjuster?" Mr. Banks asked

"Philip, these gadgets are making my life miserable." Mrs. Banks told him

"Baby, you're the one that's wanted to redecorate." He told her

"Well, yeah, I wanted to keep up with the Joneses, honey not the "Jetsons!" She said

"Hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Look, before y'all split each other's wigs can we have
our tickets, please?" Will asked

"Oh, sure." Mr. Banks said as he began checking his pockets

"You lost them, didn't you?" Mrs. Banks asked

"No, I did not lose them, thank you very much. I know exactly where they are. They're in my desk, in my office...downtown." He told us as Will groaned

"No problem. We'll just hop on my dress rack and swing by." Mrs. Banks said

"Geoffrey, James, Mrs. Banks and I are
going to swing by my office. Will's going to ride with Kathleen and you can drive the kids,
so we'll meet you at the awards." Mr. Banks said

"Very good, sir." Geoffrey told them as we all got up

"Boy, this is a rare treat. I get to cruise Beverly Hills in a Volvo." Hilary said sarcastically

We were all in the car. Hilary, Ashley, Carlton, and I were in the backseat. My grandfather was in the passenger seat and Geoffrey was driving

"Geoffrey! Take it easy on the curves!" Carlton said as the car began shaking

"It's not me, Master Carlton, it's the road.
I thinks it's an Earthquake" Geoffrey told us

I wonder how Will's taking all this. I remember my first Earthquake. I didn't want to leave the house for days

Geoffrey called Mr. and Mrs. Banks as we were all listening to them

"Daddy, get us off this freeway!"  Hilary told him

"Don't panic, Hilary." Mr. Banks said

"Yeah, I don't want to,have to slap you." Carlton told her

"Try it and you'll be singing soprano." Hilary said

"Calm down I'm sure traffic will be
moving any minute. It was just a small tremor." Mr. Banks sais

"Any word on Will and Kathleen?" Mrs. Banks asked

"They're probably stuck in traffic as well.
This freeway's backed up for miles!" My grandfather told them

"Okay. Okay, kids? We're gonna stay at my office until the power comes back on. You behave yourselves. And Geoffrey? James?
Hang in there." Mr. Banks said

Ashley and my grandfather decided to sing songs to pass the time. Which would work if we were Ashley's age

♪ A-dab-a-doo time ♪
♪ We'll have a gay old time ♪ Ashley and my grandfather sang as Ashley beated on the seat

"Wilma!" My grandfather yelled

"So what do you want to sing?" Ashley asked Hilary

"How about "Go Away Little Girl? or Go to Sleep Old Man" Hilary said annoyed

"I'll listen to that" I said nodding

"Zo-Zo you loved singing songs with me" my grandfather said

"Yeah when I was Ashley's age" I told him

"Why don't we listen to the radio?" Geoffrey said as he put on classical music

"With all due respect, Geoffrey, I'll pick the station." Carlton said as he changed the station

"Let me do it." Hilary said changing the station

"I'm not listening to that." Ashley said changing the station

"Well, I'm not listening to that." Carlton said as they began fighting

"Cut it out, you guys!" I told them times like this makes me appreciate not having siblings

Geoffrey took the radio knob off and threw it out the window

"Geoffrey, what did you do that for?" Carlton asked

"It was either the knob or one of you." He said

We finally made it back to the Banks House as I saw Will sitting on the couch as I sat next to him

"Hey where's Kathleen" I asked

"We broke up" he told me as I looked shocked

"Why? I thought you really liked her" I said

"I didn't know her as well as I thought. I guess I was really only dating her to try to get over you but you wanna be friends and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to handle that but I'll try for you" he told me as my chest tightened

He isn't over me and I feel so bad. I don't know what to do. I don't love him that way.

"Well goodnight Zee" he told me as I fake smiled

"Goodnight Will" I told him as he walked away and Carlton walked in

"Hey" he said as he sat next to me as I looked up at him

"Hi" I said

"What's wrong" he asked as I shook my head

"Nothing. What's up" I asked

"I'm taking Michelle to the theater next weekend you wanna help me pick out a tux" he asked as I fake smiled

"Sure" I told him as he smiled

"Thanks. Goodnight Zora" he told me

"Goodnight Carlton" I said as he walked away. I took off my shoes and held my head

The guy I do like is in a committed relationship and I don't knkw what to do. I thought I had this under control but I don't  

Ashley walked into the living room as I walked up to her

"Ashley, I'm gonna explode" I told her as I began crying as she hugged me
