As the movie rolls around, Zoey has already become friends with Nicole and Dana and the movie date, meant for 2, becomes a movie date of 4.
Logan keeps on telling Chase that he is in love with Zoey and should try getting her away from making up with Nicole and Dana. Since Nicole and Dana are not her friends and Quinn is strange to be around with, Zoey starts hanging out with Chase. Zoey decides to move in with Quinn, but soon finds her constant testing experiments bothering. Once Zoey tells them how annoying they are, they go against Zoey and all three of them are not friends anymore. Zoey's roommates, Nicole and Dana, do not get along and fight every day, which drives Zoey crazy. Zoey accepts, while Dana says she will "think about it." The coach of the basketball team then asks Zoey and Dana if they want to join the basketball team because they helped the most.
The girls lose the basketball game by one point, prompting Logan to tease them. Zoey chooses her team, which includes Nicole, Dana, and Quinn Pensky ( Erin Sanders), a meddlesome scientist who is always inventing wacky items. Logan picks his team, which includes Chase and Michael Barrett ( Christopher Massey), another friendly guy who is willing to accept a challenge. A boy named Logan Reese (Matthew Underwood) challenges the girls to a basketball match. Chase leads Zoey to her dorm, where she meets Nicole Bristow ( Alexa Nikolas), a savvy girl who is easily attracted to hot boys and Dana Cruz ( Kristin Herrera), a tomboy who does not accept diversity. While there, Zoey meets Chase Matthews (Sean Flynn), a friendly guy with high hopes of getting a girlfriend. Zoey Brooks ( Jamie Lynn Spears) and her younger brother, Dustin ( Paul Butcher) start to attend Pacific Coast Academy (PCA), an elite boarding school in California.
