Love me, Logan 2 #4

We went barging in a coffee shop since it was raining pretty hard after what we saw in the street. I guess I have half an ounce of feelings for Fera. I mean, I guess she just wants attention? Gah, what am I thinking. She's gonna have a hard time getting a boyfriend later--, 'what? Sorry.' I turned my head towards Zack. Conversations with the thoughts in my head.

'I said, what do you want? I'm paying,' he smiled at me.

'No, no it's fine, I'll pay. Caramel Latte please,' I took out some money out of my pocket but Zack stopped my hand from putting the money down on the counter.

'Chill. I'll pay.' Zack placed his money on the counter.

'Can you pay for me too?' Derek did a puppy face thing and stared at Zack.

'Okay fine.' Zack said, he sounded hopeless.

'Yay! I love you!' Derek said. Zack gave him an awkward stare at him and pushed Derek away from trying to give him a hug. 'No homo?' Zack just whacked his head and took the change. We sat somewhere in the back of the coffee shop.

'You goin' to our school Karen?' Derek mumbled.

'Yeah,'

'What grade are you in?'

'Ninth.'

'Oh, so you're dating a senior?'

'Why are you asking me this?'

'Lay it off Derek she's mine.'

'Okay jeez.'

'Caramel latte, vanilla frappuccino and green tea frappuccino!' Yelled the lady.

'I'll get it,' Zack said.

'No, no. I'll get it. And leave you two,' he raised his hands and quoted, 'alone.'. He walked away. Zack turned to me.

'Do you think you'll be okay in Green?'

'What's a Green?'

'Greenwick. My school.'

'Oh. Well, you tell me. How are the people there?'

'The place is a little too well organized. I guess the principal watched Bratz 4 Real and got inspired or something. I mean, the nerds are always with the nerds, jocks and cheerleaders go together, musicians, and like, you mention it, there's always a group for it.'

'Emos?'

'Yeah. There are.'

'Which do you think I would fit in?'

'I don't know. Do you sing?'

'A little.'

'Aww, you do?'

'A little secret of mine,'

'Well I'm keeping it.' Zack gave me a smile. 'What else do you do?'

'I wasn't really that big in my old school. I mean, A+'s on my math and science but--'

'Ooooh, a geek eh?'

'No! I wasn't done. I did cheer-leading but I quit,'

'Aww, why?'

'Because the girls were total whores.'

'Oh my God,' Zack laughed a little.

'And I play piano and guitar.'

'That's pretty impressive.'

'He-he. What about you?'

'I do drums, bass, guitar, sing, a little piano and I'm actually part of the town's hockey team.'

'You serious? That's cool. And I never knew you could sing.'

'Well you do now.' Zack smiled. Our heads went closer and we heard a clap.

'Cool,' clapped Derek.

''Kay what the hell Derek?' Zack said. I just laughed.

'Naw, don't worry.' Derek said handing Zack his drink and then mine. 'Why are you so, depressed lately?'

'Do I sound depressed?' Zack asked sipping his drink.

'Um, yeah you do actually.' Derek said.

'Do I Karen?'

'Kinda, I mean how you talk to Derek is like, not your Gung Ho thing.'

'Oh really. I guess it's just my aunt. I mean, even if I hate her little midgets I still have feelings for her.'

'You have feelings? Since when?' Derek teased.

'Derek. Not the best timing.' I said.

'I mean, go on.' Derek said.

'I guess I'm just worried. That's all.'

'So, what are you Karen?' Derek asked me.

'Huh?'

'I heard Zack told you about the thing in school.'

'Oh, that. I think I'm more into music but I might join the cheerleading.'

'Oooh, cheerleader eh?'

'Big deal Derek.' I said sipping my drink.

'So you know you're gonna have to make up your mind. You can't be two at once.'

'Seriously? That isn't fun.'

'Wait, then I'm a jock, and a musician. That's possible?' Said Zack.

'Dude no. It's like, against the rules.'

'School has rules? Oh my God since when?'

'What?' I got confused.

'Our school is like real messed up. There's always chaos going on every day. And like, a food fight happens every Thursday 'cause usually the jocks fight after practice 'till the end of school. So every Thursday, bring extra clothes. You're gonna need it.'

'Word. And like, you have to accept the environment there or you're gonna be beaten alive. Even if you're a girl. But there are better chances when you're dating a senior. It's like, you get more protection. But it depends on the guy. Since Zack's part jock he'll be able to scare your grade but if he's some nerd always talking about dinosaurs, yeah you'll have to be drained embarrassment.' Derek said.

'Whoa, o-kay. That sounds way different from my old school. I don't know what am I gonna be there.' I gave out a worried tone from my words.

'Don't worry.' Zack wrapped his arm around me.

'God, how could you guys drink cold stuff in a weather like this?'

'It's our thing? I don't know.' Derek said. I noticed Alexa standing by the counter. She saw me but didn't realize it was me. Then she realized so she looked back at me and gave me a disgusted look. I never stole Logan away from her. There was another girl beside her. I also noticed it was one of the girls from the cheerleading squad. Alexa tapped the other girls shoulder and whispered to her and glared at me and the same time. The other girl looked at me and looked disgusted too. They walked torwards my table and scoffed.

'Why are you here?' Alexa said.

'What? You run this town now?' I said.

'You're not spying on me aren't you?'

I scoffed. 'YOU'RE not spying on me aren't you? Why the hell are you here anyways?'

'It's called a family gathering. And I'm also moving here.' Alexa said. WHAT? Oh my God I can't believe it. 'What school are you going too? Some cheap public school?'

'Don't talk to her like that.' Zack stood up.

'And who are you? Her bodyguard?'

'I'm her boyfriend and leave her alone.'

'Derek? Why are you here?'

'Derek. You know her? I said.

'Ye-yeah. She's my brother's ex.'

'Well, I have to go now. My new house won't wait forever. And if you're moving to Greenwick, Karen,' Alexa gave me a pissed look since I was on my phone the whole time, 'Karen! I'm talking to you!'

'What is it, my queen?'

Alexa scoffed. 'If you're also going to Greenwick, I swear we're gonna have a lot of fun. Now ta-ta. I have to go. Bye bitch.'

'Hey! You don't talk to her like that!' Zack stood up.

'What?! What are you gonna do about it? I mean, I called her a bitch for stealing my boyfriend away from me!'

'I did not you anorexic pig! You were a total whore anyway! Logan didn't want you anymore remember that! And get over it! You got your chance and you blew it!'

'Fine. You win this round. But just remember, it's not over yet. Come on Dana.' Alexis and the other girl turned around, took their coffee and walked out.

'God. This is gonna be a school full of drama. Especially when Alexis isn't over with the Logan issue.' I threw my head back and exhaled.

'What really happened between you?' Derek asked. I raised my head back up and tucked some of my hair behind my ear.

'So Alexa is the popular girl. She's miss perfect. Her boyfriend was popular and one of the best football played in the school, spoiled rich daddy's girl, so many friends worshiping her name, and every time someone goes against her there is always the defender. And that was Logan, her, ex, boyfriend, and like, ten other people. Because of all that she became such a snob. She like, controlled everyone with her popularity. I wasn't counted as popular. I wasn't her follower too. I'm always with my best friend and yeah, I had a crush on her boyfriend. One day, my mom and his mom went to meet up and I knew he was coming so I dressed up differently. More skin and less jeans. Slutty, I know. But I really liked him. So like everything went well and he didn't talk about Alexa. But somehow Alexa found out about that and she got really pissed at me. And whenever I just wanted to say hi to Logan, she'd be there and try to be cute in front of him.' I took a sip. 'And like one day they broke up and Alexa blamed it all on me. She thinks that Logan going out with me as friends only is what caused the relationship to end. And I guess she really loved Logan.' I paused for a while. Some thoughts were spinning around my head. Rewinding what happened back at the park. I remembered that there was a girl that looked like Dana! 'Oh my God I totally remember now!'

'What?' Derek and Zack said.

'There was a girl watching me and Logan together at the park. He bought ice cream for me and like, I guess she told Alexa that he's cheating on her! That's why she's so pissed at me.'

'Well, what are you gonna do about it then?' Zack said. A long pause happened.

'Survive?'


===TO BE CONTINUED===

Love me, Logan 2 #3

I felt something vibrating in the back pocket of my jeans. I took my phone out, it was Jessica.

'Hello?'

'Karen!'

'Hai,'

'Hey, concert's in two days. You're picking me up this Friday right?'

'I guess so, yeah. Concert's on Saturday?'

'Yes!'

'Okay then!'

'Hey, I have to go. I'm at school.'

'Oh. Wait, why?'

'Rehearsing for a school play. I play Juliet and Logan's Romeo. I hope you're not jealous or something but he's my new boyfriend now.'

'Wait, what?!'

'Bye!' She hung up. I couldn't say a thing. I flipped my phone back and walked in the house with complete confusion.

'What?' Zack asked.

'Uh. Jess,'

'Jess...'

'Logan and, and Jess.'

'Uh,'

'D-d-dating.'

'Kidding?'

'No. At all.'

'Weird...'

'Uh-huh.'

'Well look on the bright side, he's never gonna bother you again.'

'I guess. But,'

'Yeah, I know. I feel the slight shiver too.'

I nodded and walked to Zack. We walked to the kitchen and saw a little mountain of cookies on a counter. Zack's mom wasn't there. Oh well. We both took a cookie. Zack's phone rang.

'Zack,'

'Hey bruh,'

'Oh, Derek, hey.'

'Hey, can I come over?'

'Uh, hold on.' He turned to me. 'Would you mind if my friend comes over?'

'Uh, sure I guess.'

'Yea sure, you can.'

'Great. Be over in a bit. Later,'

'Later bruh.'

'My friend Derek will be here. You're okay right? I mean, he might get a little weird sometimes.'

'I guess not, okay.'

'Hey, you have something on your shirt,' Zack pointed on my shirt.

'Where? Hey!' I yelled. When I looked down Zack lifted his finger to push my nose up. 'Oh no you didn't. I went to a counter and took some left over icing we used to make cake the day before. I squirted some on his shirt.

'Hey!' He took a cookie and tried to run to catch me. I ran away from him. He threw the cookie at me and it hit my back. I looked back and squirted some. I bumped Zack's friend that just entered the house.

He looked annoyed, then he looked at me. 'Oh, hey.' He said in a flirty voice. 'Who's this pretty lady? Your sister?'

'What? She's Karen. My girrrlfriend.' Zack made hand gestures. I stepped away and mouthed a sorry at him.

'You, have a girlfriend?!'

'I think she's visible enough,' he waved his hand in front of me.

'Oh, well then,' Derek turned at me, 'you know, Zack can be a little, pfft, naughty.' He did a wink at Zack, I pushed him away from me softly.

'I can handle it,' I told him giving him a cute, smart, awkward look. All together like that.

'Well, whatever. I was just warning you. But, whenever he's starting to be weird at you, just dial the letter Y, he put me on speed dial.' Another wink. He walked to Zack and patted him on the back. I looked back at Zack, "I don't know." he mouthed. I laughed a little and stepped back to Zack.

'What are you gonna do here?' Derek rubbed the tip of his nose, I gave a look at him but then my phone rang. It was an unknown number. But I picked it up anyways.

'Hello,'

'KAREN!' It was a familiar voice, but I couldn't recall.

'What, who is this?'

'This is Alexa! What did you do to my boyfriend?!'

'What the hell. What do you mean your boyfriend? Logan?'

'Yes Logan you skank!'

'Excuse me, HOW AM I THE SKANK?' I raised my volume. By the time I said the "S word", Zack and Derek looked at me confused. I mouthed a sorry at them.

'What did you do to my boyfriend?!' I can hear her also raising her volume.

'Well I was never with him for your information!'

'Yes you were! You were crazy of him!'

'I was Alexa!'

'No, you poisoned him using your best friend of yours!'

'Jessica?! It's her and Logan's relay [relationship]! What does it have to do with me?!'

'Karen, do you remember that day, when you were in the mall and Logan was chasing you?'

'What about it?'

'Well, never mind I forgot what I was gonna say, but Karen stop poisoning his mind! I still love him okay! Leave him a--'

'Excuse me Alexa, I never did bothered him okay! He was the one who was asking me to start over!'

'Stop talking to him!'

'What the hell!'

'What's wrong?' Zack whispered to me. I put the call on loudspeaker without Alexis knowing.

'Alexa, sweetie,' I started soft.

'What bitch?' I got offended.

'I NEVER STOLE YOUR BOYFRIEND OKAY. AND YOU GUYS BROKE UP SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO WITH THIS? YOU BROKE HIS HEART YOU LOST. STOP CRYING FOR YOUR OWN CHOICE.'

'I still love him okay! Even if we did break up! I want him back and I want you to take away that friend of yours off Logan!'

'Alexa cry me a river, build a bridge and get the hell over it!' I hung up. 'Drama.' Derek looked at me with an impressed look, 'what?'.

'I am impressed, you can really bitch at someone.' Derek said fanning himself with his hand.

'Leave her alone,' Zack told Derek. I dialed Logan's number, a flame of anger burned in me.

'Hello?' a sleepy voice said.

'Logan?'

'Whazzup,'

'What did you tell Alexa?'

'Huh?'

'She called me and went bitching at me to not talk to you anymore,'

'What the hell,'

'What?'

'I never told her anything!'

'I wished it was that easy to believe that but it isn't. Tell me the truth,'

'I swear I never told her anything!'

'Ugh, seriously?' I sighed.

'Would I lie too you?' And this happened to be the stupidest question ever.

'What the hell,'

'I mean, yea seriously.' His voice toughened.

'Ugh whatever. Bye thanks.' I hung up. I slid my hand through my hair. I shook my head.

'What's wrong?'

'Alexis, you know, Logan's immature ex, she was telling me to stay away from Logan. If you think of it, it's Logan who can't stay away from me.'

'If you need any help in beating up, me and Zack are here sweetie,' Derek gave me a flirty look.

'Yeah, we're here.' Zack said with hesitation. I just laughed a little at their trying-to-help-and-be-cute looks.

'So much dramaaa.' I held the A in drama. Urgh when will this stop. At least for one more week Alexis is gonna keep calling me.

'So, what are we gonna do now?' asked Derek.

'Now with no midgets around, wanna get out see a movie or something?' Zack said. I checked the clock of my phone. Exactly 4:15. I have time.

'Sure, whatcha wanna watch?' Asked Derek.

'Wanna go out of town?' Asked Zack with a cheeky face.

'I'm in. Karen?'

'Sure.'

'To the car!' Derek said.

'It's cool if you sit in the back right Derek?' asked Zack.

'Wha, what? I mean, yes. I am a man. I will.' Derek straighted his back and opened the door and sat in with a sad face? It looks as if. Jeez. I know it's only a joke though. Zack opened the door for me.

'Thanks Derek,' I said.

'No problem sweet,'

'Stop with the flirts, thanks.' I said. Derek got red. Zack pointed at his face and laughed. Just when he was about to start the car, his mom came out the house yelling.

'ZACHARY, DO NOT GO OUT OF TOWN!' Me and Derek laughed. I just knew his name was Zachary.

'Yes mom. I'll go see a movie and get ice cream or something. Bye.' He stepped on the pedal and got moving. I can see his mom yelling at him from the front yard of the house.

'Dude, your name is Zachary? I just knew.' I told him.

'Yeah, Zachariah actually. Mom calls me Zachary for short when she's mad. I like Zack better. Zachariah or Zachary makes me sound like a church boy.'

'True dat,' Derek laughed. 'Where to?'

'What do you want?'

'What about that coffee shop. The one we would trash down.'

'Seriously? I don't think the guy would even let us in,'

'Smart,' Derek paused. 'OMG,'

'Talk,'

'Are you thinking what I'm thinking?' Then Derek started singing a song in da-da-da's.

'BARNEY'S?!' Zack yelled happily.

'BARNEY'S GELATO! GELATISSIMO! MUAH!' They said and did hand gestures at the same time. All I could do was laugh.

'Let's gooo!' Derek yelled. Half way, there was traffic. We got really bored, I turned up the volume of the radio.

'Don't you have CD's in here?'

'I got this car two weeks ago, I keep forgetting to put in CD's. In the mean time, we're gonna have to listen to this.' He turned up the volume again and the radio played a song by the Bee Gees or whatever. All of us yelled 'Ew' really loud and Derek turned off the radio like a ninja. We were stuck in the traffic. Five minutes...ten minutes... 'Hey Derek,'

'What,'

'I can make you say blue.'

'Prove it.'

'What color is this car?'

'Black.'

'What color is my shirt?'

'White.'

'Hah! I told you I can make you say white!'

'You told me that you can't make me say blue,' Derek paused. 'Oh.'

'HAHA! I made you say blue!' Me and Zack laughed.

'That is so not funny,' Derek objected.

'Prove it, she's laughing.'

'Not cool, Zack.'

'Whatever Derek.'

'Zachariah!' Derek yelled. I started laughing pretty hard.

'The name's not funny!'

'Prove it she's laughing!' Derek laughed. Zack took a look at me, I tried to hold my laugh but I couldn't so I burst out laughing. 'You just choke on your own alibi.'

'That's from Mr. Brightside! Not creative!' Zack yelled and banged his hands on the steering wheel.

'Hey. This is a free country. I can do whatever I want!' Derek yelled.

'Well,' Zack paused. 'There!' He slapped Derek's head.

'Hey!'

'It's a free country I can do whatever I want!' Zack said imitating Derek.

'FINE!' Derek said in a sissy voice. He threw himself on the car seat and folded as if he's only eight years old. 'Zack give me your iPod.'

'Why?'

'Because it's a free country. Now gimme it.'

'Fine.' Zack lifted himself a bit to take an iPod Touch out of his back pocket.

'Thank you sir,' Derek said. Loud, high-pitched songs started playing from the iPod.

'What the hell? That music, what are you playing?' I asked and turned my head back.

'Oven Break!'

'Oh, that gingerbread thing.' I said stretching my neck.

'He's been playing that game for two years, yet he never accomplished.' Zack told me. Derek grew red.

'Whoa. I did it the first time I tried.' I said.

'Show off.' Derek said.

'No, you just suck.' I told him. Zack laughed a little. Derek grew even redder.

'Well forgive me for being the worst Oven Break player.'

'Forgiven way before you thought I would,' I winked at him.

'You mean three seconds ago?'

'Pretty much, yeah.'

'Well apology accepted.'

The car grew silent. We weren't moving forward. There was a massive traffic jam. We don't know why. We sat there, moving half a meter per thirty minutes. Sucks like that.

'Zack,' Derek said.

'What.'

'This might be the most inappropriate time to say this but,'

'What?'

'I need to pee.' Derek said. Me and Zack burst out laughing.

'There's a gas station there if you'd like. You can walk there. I think we're gonna be here for another two weeks or something.'

'Okay then. Bee, arh, bee.' Derek tried opening the door but Zack left it locked. He flicked the switch, 'nice try you little smartass.' He ran out the door to the gas station. I laughed.

'So you guys are best friends,' I asked.

'Yeah, pretty much.'

'And you guys are normally like this?'

'Yeah.' Zack gave a chuckle. 'Ugh how long do you think we're gonna be here?!'

'I don't know you tell me,' I said. We noticed Derek ran towards the car as if there was something bad happening. He banged on the windows since Zack left the doors locked. He opened the window slightly.


'I think you're banging the wrong car sir,' he said.

'There was an accident! I swear I'm not lying. The woman kinda looked like your aunt.' Derek said. How he said it made Zack very suspicious.

'Tell you what,' he unlocked the door, 'I'm gonna see this thing and you sit where I'm sitting just in case there's a chance of moving. Karen you coming?' I nodded my head at him. We went out the car and Derek sat on the driver's seat and me and Zack rushed to see the incident. A horror look grew on Zack's face, I took another look at the victims, I noticed Jay being carried out the shattered car. 'Oh my God.' Zack ran to the group of policemen.

'Zack,' I said. I followed Zack from behind and gave him a hug.

'Officer, I'm the cousin of the victim, can you take me to their mom?' Zack said in an unpleasant tone. The officer pointed to an ambulance. Zack's aunt was standing in the car holding her almost-lifeless daughter's hand. It was visible enough that tears were streaming down her cheeks. 'Aunt Laura!' Zack yelled. He took my hand and fast-walked to her.

'Zack,' she gave him a hug.

'What happened?' Zack asked. This time completely worried.

'I don't know, Fera was complaining about how she's grounded and I got so stressed of her rubbing it on me so hard and I messed up and boom! This...' tears started running down her pale cheek. 'I'm such a fail,' she started crying again, and this time harder. I wasn't surprised that Fera caused this.

'Where's James?'

'James is okay. In fact, it's a miracle he didn't get a bruise. But Fera, look, she's unconscious.'

The location where the accident happened was cleared and cars started moving smoothly again. I noticed Derek was driving the car towards us. He said "Come on" from the inside of the car.

'Aunt Laura, I have to go. Hope all of this ends well.' He gave her a hug, 'love you.' He put an arm around me and we walked back to the car.

'Love you too,' Aunt Laura's voice was fading. Zack switched seats with Derek. Derek sat in the back and I sat in the front.

'I'm so sorry bruh,' Derek said trying to comfort him.

'Heh, yeah. Not surprised Fera caused it.'

'She did?'

'Yeah. Her mom grounded her and Fera was complaining and that happened.'

'It's about time she got grounded. Why?'

'You see that bandage around Karen's arm?'

'Whoa, serious?'

'Yeah. Friking used scissors and cut Karen's and James'.'

'James too?!'

'Yeah. I wish the kid would die or something.'

'That's not nice,' I cut.

'Hey, you hate her too.'

'True, true.' I said.



===TO BE CONTINUED===

Love me, Logan 2 #2

I went in my bedroom. Remembering the Wi-Fi isn't set yet, I decided to tell Logan that I can't go on MSN. Ten seconds after the text message was sent, there was a call from him. With total hesitation, I picked it up.

'Hello?' I started.

'Hey Karen,'

'Hey,'

There was a short pause, 'We'll start over right?'

'I guess if you wanna,'

'No, no. If you don't wanna start over that's fine.'

'It's up to you,'

'It's up to YOU.'

There was a long pause, I stopped biting my lip, 'Fine, I think we should start over...'

'Thanks, Karen.'

'So, how's school and everyone else?'

'Everything's fine, Jess has been missing you lately. Seth was looking for you too.'

'Seth? He still exist?'

'Yeah. Are you gonna come back here sometime?'

'Zack promised me that once a month he'll take me there,'

'Oh, cool.'

There was a pretty long silence after that, feeling awkward, I sat on the couch near me and twirled my hair and played with the buttons on my shirt.

'Why Zack?'

'Uh, he felt sorry for me since I was really homesick.'

'No, I meant why did you choose Zack?' Logan started to sound angry.

'Excuse me?'

'You loved me first,'

'Well you didn't.'

'But I do now!'

'But I don't. Logan, how are we gonna start over when you're like that?'

'Sorry, sorry. I'm really pissed today. So much homework and mids are coming, my dog just died, it's been hard for me. I loved Iggy so much.'

'Iggy died? I'm so sorry.'

'Yeah, it's okay I guess...'

'Hey, hey, I have to go. Sorry Logan. We'll talk sometime. I'll tell you when I'm back.'

'Bye,'

'Bye.' I hung up. I didn't really have to go. I just felt so awkward I wouldn't bother talking to him. I feel guilty too but I don't feel like talking to him when he's in that kind of mood. I jumped on my bed and called Jess. No answer. I tried calling her again. No answer. She's probably asleep? But it's only nine. Maybe tomorrow. I played Snake on my phone for a little bit but without realizing I fell asleep.

The next morning, since everything felt new, I woke up at five. I noticed mom cooking some pancakes. I got confused, was I gone that long? Mom's already cooking and the dining table was set. But heh, I wouldn't care.

'Hai mom.' I said pulling a chair and sitting on it.

'Morning Karen. Plans for today?'

'Yeah, I'm helping Zack babysit his cousins.'

'Oh. You and Zack is so cute together. Have you contacted any old friends recently?'

'Um yea no.'

'Huh?'

'No old friends contacted recently.'

'Oh, okay then. But just remember, you're going to find new people here to be your friends. Wherever you are, don't ever forget about your old friends. You won't know if there will be a time that your new friends would leave you.'

'Sure thing mom. Where's dad?'

'He's out to buy groceries.'

'Oh. Kyle? Wait no let me guess.'

'Asleep.' Mom and I said it at the same time. When there is no school, Kyle is a total pig. After dinner, he would sleep directly. Unless if there are homework or some project. But usually he would sleep directly.

'I'm gonna find his room.' I got up and pushed back my seat and walked to a room that I totally expected to be Kyle's room. The one with a big sheet of paper with a messy hand writing that says "DO NOT ENTER OR KYLE WILL BRING HELL TO YOUR TINY ASSES". I don't know why dad didn't do anything about it. I read it and not caring if he will bring me hell or not I busted in. Kyle's room was...tidy. I mean usually there will be video games, game magazines, his school books and his batman collection. I felt really weird entering his room in peace. Before at least something has to get caught on my foot. So I just wanted to see what Kyle's room would look like. Not dirty and gross yet. I went back to the door and I felt something hit my head. Kyle threw his Batman plushie at me. 'What up gangster?'

'Get out. I'm busy dreaming and would not like to be disturbed.'

'Whatever.' I went out the door.

'CLOSE THE DOOR!' Kyle yelled.

'Yes master.' I closed the door gently. 'Jerk.' I said walking away.

'I heard that Karen!' Kyle shouted again. I ignored and decided to have breakfast.

'Hey dad,' I noticed dad was home.

'Morning Karen,' Dad patted my head. I took a plate and mom placed one pancake on it.

'Syrup?' Mom offered.

'Yes please.' I stuck my plate out and watched mom poured syrup on my pancakes. I took a seat and started eating. When I was almost done, I heard my phone ringing from my room. I raced there before it stopped ringing. I picked it up directly. 'Hello?'

'Karen, I'll pick you up at 12 okay?' I noticed it was Zack.

'Oh okay,' I looked at the clock on my phone and it was 11:30 already! 'Oh, crap okay.'

'Is there something wrong?'

'No, no it's fine. I just woke up hehe. But 12 is fine I guess.' I said.

'Oh, okay see you later. Love you.'

'Love you too,' I hung up. I ran out of my room but I noticed a wall to my right. I remembered my old house, the bathroom was on the right. 'Mom where's the bathroom?'

'Go pass Kyle's room or you could use the one in mine.'

'I'll use yours.' I rushed in mom's room and went in the bathroom directly. I saw my toothbrush laying there on the rack. I took my clothes off and went in the showers. When I was done, clean and clothed, Zack was outside already. Perfect timing. I saw Kyle jumping on the couch.

'Where you going?' he asked me with his hair bouncing up and down.

'Zack's house. Hey mom I might be gone 'till night.' I ran back to my room and took my jacket. I fast-walked to the door.

'Stay safe honey,' said mom. Dad waved at me.

'Yeah Karen better make sure you better not go preggo!'

'Shut the hell up Kyle.' I opened the front door and closed it. I heard mom yelling Kyle's name from outside. All I did was laugh softly. 'Hey Zack!' I said brightly. I saw James, Jay and Fera in the back seat. I waved at them, 'Hey guys!'. I went inside the car and sat on the front passenger seat.

'Good morning gorgeous,' Zack said and pecked me a little. I waved at the kids in the back. Everyone waved but Fera. She rolled her eyes at me. My smile faded a little. But oh well she's only four.

'Where are your parents now?'

'They went out of town?'

'Pft, they didn't take you with them?'

'Yeah, they would but they're trying me. They wanna see if I could take care of three kids for a day.'

'But they know I'm helping right?'

'Yeah,'

'Can we please get going?' Fera said.

'Sure thing,' Zack started the engine and we went moving.

When we reached his house, Jay and Fera went out first and ran inside. James stepped off the car and Zack picked him up.

'Why did you pick him up?' I asked him.

'Because I'm gonna have to get ready when we get married.'

I laughed, 'I'm only 15. Long way to go,'

'Pfft, I know. I was only kidding. I just felt sorry for the guy.'

'Oh psh Zack,' I laughed at him and we walked in the house. We basically did nothing for two hours. Me, Zack, Jay and Fera was watching Up while James was drawing. Basically, for two hours we just watched a movie. Then Fera, Jay and James got sleepy so it was nap time for them and free time for me and Zack.

'The midgets are asleep. What do you wanna do?'

'Midgets? Be nice Zack psh. I don't know what do you wanna do?'

'Wanna hang around the pool?'

'Sure.' We sat by the pool with our legs in the water. 'I go to the same school as you right?'

'Uh yeah I guess,'

'What school?'

'Greenwick International,'

'Which one is the building?' I asked. Zack got up and took my hand.

'Come on, I'll show you.'

'What about the kids?' I got up.

'Don't worry.' Zack pulled me. We ran up to the third floor. There was a few doors. He took me to the one in the middle.

'Is it some rich kid school?' I asked him. Zack held on the door handle.

'I don't know you tell me,' Zack opened the door and there was this massive building standing there.

'Def a rich kid school. I don't know if I could survive there,'

'Nah you will. The people are awesome there. As long as you're nice to them,'

'Fine. Zack's awesome.' I rolled my eyes at him. Zack chuckled at me.

'Greenwick. I hate the color green.'

'Don't worry, school colors are blue, gold and white.'

'Shouldn't it be called Bluewick instead?'

'You're not funny Karen.'

'Explain the fact you're smiling,'

'Hey, smiling doesn't mean I'm laughing!'

'You're laughing now!'

'No I'm not!'

'You're not funny Zack,'

'Oh I am funny. You always laugh at my words.'

'Fine I do, you're not funny now!'

'JAMES!' shouted Fera so loudly. Me and Zack raced to the second floor to see what happened. James was crying, some of his hair snipped and a big red cut on his arm and Fera was bitching at him. Wow, I still can't believer the fact she's only four. 'Zack! Look at what that coconut head did to me while I was sleeping!' Me and Zack noticed that there were airplanes on her arms drawn by James.

'Fera what did you do to James?!' Zack yelled. I ran towards to James to check how is he.

'He started it Zack! Karen get out of my face I need to yell at James some more!'

'No! You've done enough to him!' This isn't the first time the girl pissed at me. Fera took her scissors and scratched my arm. I yelled in pain but managed to stand the pain.

'FERA! That's my girlfriend!' Zack ran towards me and took my arm. I was whining in pain. I noticed blood flowing out the cut. 'Fera get back in the room now.' Fera stuck her tongue out, 'NOW!' Zack yelled. Fera turned back and marched to the room. 'Karen are you okay?'

'I'm, fine. It's James you're supposed to care about. He has a few cuts on his arms,' even if I'm still in pain, I managed to support James arm so Zack can take a look.

'Ouch,' Zack said softly as James cry is still going on. 'What are we gonna do?'

'Do you have a first aid kit?'

'I think I do in the kitchen yeah.' Zack carried James and I walked down supporting my right arm. James was first. Zack took out some gauze bandages, scissors, antiseptic wash, tape, and a cloth to wipe up the blood. He washed the cut with the wash, wrapped the cut with bandages, and taped it. He had to do it three times since there were three cuts. And it took a while because he had problems with the bandage. When he was done he picked up James and made him sit on the couch and turned the TV on. He walked back to the kitchen to fix mine. When he was halfway done, my phone rang.

'Oh great,' I swung my other arm back and took out my phone from my back pocket. It took me a while since it was on the other side of jeans. The song Rocketeer was playing until I picked it up. 'Hello?'

'Hey Karen,'

'Jess! How are you?'

'I'm good, and you? How's everything? Have you started school?'

'I'm good and no I'm starting next week. How's school?'

'It's, heh okay. Hey, you wanna see Maroon 5 net Saturday?'

'For real?!'

'Yeah!'

'Oh my God yes! Where is it?'

'Fairsville, 12 March, 7 P.M.!'

'That's where I live! Where?'

'That stadium thing in wherever you are,'

'Oh my God cool! Won't the school shut down this Friday? The renovation thing they're gonna do to the roofs?'

'Totally,'

'Wanna sleep over?!'

'YES!'

'Okay, but how will you get here?'

'I don't know,'

'Jess hold on,' I pulled my phone off my ear and whispered to Zack, 'Zack, could you take me to see Jess? This Friday?'

'Uh, well, I think I can. School ends early at that day so probably yea.'

'Oh cool, love you!' I pulled my phone back to my ear, 'Jess, Zack's gonna take me to see you this Friday. I love you Zack!'

'Aww! I love Zack too! Yay! Oh, Karen I have to go, I'll see you when I see you. Bye!'

'Bye Jessica.' Then she hung up. 'Thank's a lot Zack.'

'Anything for you. Your arm's done and I think James is asleep.' Zack said looking at James. I turned back and he was asleep. 'I think everyone else is asleep too.'

'Yeah. Just asking, when are your cousins coming back to wherever they're from? I mean they're here to stay right?'

'Yeah, they're coming back tonight actually.'

'Oh, well that's sad. I can't imagine how bitchy will your aunt be when she finds out what Fera did.'

'Yeah. I'm telling her anyways.'

'Meanie,'

'Hey you secretly agree. I know that.'

'I guess I do. I really hate Fera. I still can't believe the fact that she's only four. I mean, she watches too much TV. What do you let her watch? Resident Evil?'

'She's only been here for like, five days and I haven't watched any thriller, action, horror, or those kinds of movies.'

'Well she's gotta have influence from someone. She hangs out with Jay a lot right?'

'And his friends,'

'Maybe she hangs out with them too much?'

'Oh! I just remembered. Once, Jay did a movie night with his friends and they were watching Zombieland and Fera was there.'

'Isn't that obvious. I watched that movie it was disgusting.'

'Nahh, I thought it was pretty cool.'

'Oh pfft no! It's too much gore.'

'I love gore!'

'That's something we don't have in common.' I winked at him.

'I guess. And yeah I guess thats how Fera got so violent. I mean the movie's all about cutting and killing. Such a shame for a young, rotten mind.'

'Yeah. Rotten mind psh.' I laughed a little.

'What do you wanna do?'

'I don't know, what do you?'

'I don't know,'

'Wanna watch something? I have a TV in my room so the midgets can't go in.'

'What are we gonna do to James?'

'I'll carry him to my mom's room.'

'Oh okay. Zack and I put back the first aid kit stuff back in, I placed it in a rack and Zack picked up James and carried him to his mom's room. I went in Zack's room and just sat on the bed. When Zack came, he took out one whole tray of DVDs and threw it on the bed. It looks heavy.

'What do you wanna watch?'

'Uh, what do you have?'

'What genre?'

'Anything. What's your favorite?'

'Wanna watch a horror movie?'

'Uh, okay. What movie?'

'How scary do you want it?'

'Scary but not that scary but not that cheesy too.'

'Silent hill?'

'No, that's boring.'

'House of Wax?' Zack threw the disc at me.

'What's this?'

Zack looked cheeky and looked at me, 'I'll show you.' He took the disc away from me and inserted it in the DVD played. He turned on the TV, switched off the lights, closed the curtains and sat behind me. I looked at him with the you're-being-a-little-bit-too-dramatic look. He just smiled at me. When the movie started, it didn't scare me. Basically six people going to a place that isn't on the map and goes in a house with people's heads covered in wax and all. But when it came to the one who fell for the trap and fell in hot wax, I had to yell and automatically hugged the person closest to me. If my face was a computer, it would make a 'x[' face and Zack's face is like 'x]'. And there was a lot of scary stuff in the movie but I force myself not too look like a loser. I succeeded and failed. Mostly fail. Zack could only laugh a little at me. When it was another scary part, I was biting my finger, Zack chuckled when he saw me like that.

'What?' I took out my finger and stared at him.

'Nothing, you're cute.' He did another soft laugh again.

'Well, why did you have to "show" me this freaking movie?'

'Hey you asked first,'

'Well you could've told me it was this scary!'

'Sorry Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaren. Do you still love meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?'

'Yes, I do.' I got up and ran to him to hug him. Suddenly the door opened and Zack's mom was there!

'Oh, hello Karen. Uh, Zack, your aunt and cousins are leaving, would you come down stairs to say goodbye? I'll give you a minute.' She closed the door but before that she was looking at us with an awkward face. Me and Zack turned red immediately. I let go and he groomed himself.

'Coming?' He asked me.

'Yeah.'

'I'll turn the TV off first.' He turned to the TV and switched the DVD played and TV off. He placed an arm on his hip and I put mine through and we walked down laughing at stuff. We saw Jay, James and Fera. Fera was being bitched by her mom and I would laugh but I can save it. 'You're going already Jay?'

'Yeah,' Jay put on a sad face.

'When are you coming back?'

'I don't know, but when I come back can you take me for ice cream at that place again?' Jay looked up at Zack smiling.

'Sure thing brother.' Zack smiled at him and messed up his hair. Jay groomed his hair and turned to me.

'You're going home Jay?'

'Yeah,'

'Where do you live?'

'Saint Mark,'

'Oh, three hours from here?'

'Three sleepy hours,' Jay smiled at me showing his two bottom front teeth gone. I saw his cheeks really red.

'Well, I'll see you when you come back.'

'Me too,' Jay said to me, his cheeks gone even redder. Zack mouthed a 'she's mine' to Jay. But Jay ignored. I walked to James, I bent down to get a better look at him.

'Hey, James.'

'Haiiiiiiiiiiiii.' He said it that long.

'I'm gonna miss you,'

He didn't reply but he only gave a nod at me. I'm taking that as a 'Me too.' Who doesn't miss me? HEHEHEHE. Pfft. Gah just kidding. He hugged me and I hugged back. I got up and Zack talked to James for a while. I just watched Fera being bitched by her mom. Please, please, please let me laugh! But then my smile broke when Fera pointed at me. Then I saw her mom saying something like, 'go to her'. Fera walked to me with hesitation. I tucked some of my hair behind my ear. I just smiled.

'Sorry Karen.' Fera said looking at the floors of the house.

'Oh, sorry for what?' I played stupid.

'For everything.'

'I don't get it?' I played stupid again.

'For cutting your arm with scissors,'

'WHAT?!' Yelled her mom. 'Fera Patricia Damons, is that what you did?!' OOOOOH. I tried not to laugh. Zack stood up with James in his arms and looked at me and laughed a little. 'Fera Patricia Damons tell me the truth!'

'Yes, mommy.'

'You lied to mommy before?'

'Yes I did.'

'Fera Patricia Damons, for two months there will be no TV for you! No Nintendo DS, no Wii, no PSP no anything but your books!'

'Mommy that's not fair!'

'Tell me why it isn't fair!'

'James started it!'

'What did he do?'

'He drew airplanes on me when I was sleeping!' Fera pointed at James. Bad move since that was the time when her mom realized the bandages on him.

'Fera! That's it! No TV, DS, Wii and PSP for you for three months!'

'Mommy!'

'Enough! You're going to spend more time with your books starting from now!' Her mom pointed at Fera's face and Fera look really sad and guilty. 'You lied to mommy and disappointed mommy enough for today okay Fera? Now say good bye to your aunt and Zack and don't forget to say sorry to James and Karen!' Fera turned around and said sorry to James first. James only stuck his tongue out at her and me and Zack laughed. Then with even more anger she turned to me and said sorry again. I just smiled and showed her my palm. That is all. Everyone went outside and Fera went in the car first, then James then Jay. Their mom hugged Zack and his mom then waved at me and got in the car. When the engine was just about to start, Jay went out of the car and ran to me to hug me.

'I'm going to miss you!' Jay cried and hugged me so tight around my thighs. I hugged him a little and laughed a bit.

'I'll miss you too.' I said to him. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and he got so red he looked like he was about to faint! Zack helped him walk back to the car at first then Jay was able to walk on his own. The car started moving and everyone waved at it. When it was completely out of sight, 'weird.' I said.

'I know right,' Zack said.

'Cute kid,' I said and laughed a little.

'Zack you're not the only one competing for Karen.' His mom winked at both of us and started walking to the door.

'Hey, Karen's already officially mine mom.' I just laughed a laughter of shyness a little.

'Cookies?' His mom offered.

'Oh, me!' He ran inside. When he was almost reaching the door, he stopped and turned to me. Come on! he mouthed. I fast-walked in and laughed and took his hand.



===TO BE CONTINUED===

Love me, Logan 2 #1

I looked at the house that I'm going to live in for the rest of my life in Fairsville. It's bigger than my other house, gave me a little shiver down my spine. But like what they say, what's bigger is better.

'Karen, why don't you check it out. I think you're going to like it.' My dad told me with a smile. I nodded at him and went inside. Zack followed me behind.

'This is massive,' he told me.

'I can't wait to go to your house,' I told him remembering the things he hid from me.

'Heh, don't worry.' Zack smiled.

'This is big,' I said. I stared at the ceilings, how it's way taller than my height times three.

'I call biggest room!' yelled Kyle running inside rushing to the first door he sees.

'How old is he?' asked Zack.

'I think he's 13.'

'More like 5,' Zack looked at Kyle with an awkward face.

'Psh Zack be nice,' I told him and took his hand. We walked around the house, viewing the future I'm going to have here.

'Karen! Please get ready, we're going to have lunch in 10!' yelled my mom. Me and Zack walked outside where the car is. I saw mom and I waved. 'Zack you want to come?'

'Uh, thanks Mrs. West but I think I have to go back home, my mom's gonna look for me.'

'Oh, okay then sweetie.'

'Karen, I gotta go. Is it okay?' he took my hand and asked me.

'Oh, okay. Don't worry.'

'Okay, I'll call you tonight.' He kissed my cheek and went in his car. I just waved at him with a weak smile. He started the engine and droved away.

'He really likes you,' my mom said to me with her arm on her hip and a cheeky smile.

'Um, yeah, hehe.'

'Remember what we were like when we were young?' Asked dad putting his arm around mom.

'Aww, of course I do.' Said mom giving a kiss to dad. Mom and dad started kissing.

'OH OKAY STOP.' Said Kyle covering his eyes. 'It was a long time ago people, break it up!'

'Kyle, be nice you geek.' I slapped his head.

'Love has no age,' said dad with a wistful face. 'Let's get in the car people.' Dad went in the car, mom followed and then me and Kyle. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I hope it isn't Logan.

I closed my eyes and flipped my phone. Not Logan, not Logan, not Logan, I screamed in my head. I opened my eyes and guess what? Logan.

Can I call you?

My hands were trembling. Um, not now. Family's with me. Maybe tonight, we'll go on msn or something

He didn't reply after that. I looked at the view of the city through the car window, thinking if I could be happy here. My best friend is back at the town I was and I miss her so bad. I decided to text Jess that I'm gonna call her on Skype tonight.


The day went really long... All I really did at the dining table was eating and listening to Breathe Carolina. I'm back at home and I just remembered that the Wi-Fi isn't connected yet. I texted Jess that I'll Skype her when the Wi-Fi is set. The stuff is already in the house and the mover people thing were still moving in the remaining furniture. It's 4 P.M., I don't know what to do. I miss my tree house. Even if Kyle was the one who [helped] built it. Two men of the mover people thing brought my furniture to the room I chose. I told them where I wanted them and I tipped them both $5 each. I dusted my bed a little and lied down there. Thoughtless. I just can't describe the feeling I'm feeling now. It's anger, fear, broken, and almost happy. Since happy is only a little part of it, in fact almost a part of it, I, I don't know. I mean, I wish I could just tell dad I don't wanna stay here. My phone vibrated, Zack's calling. I picked it up and closed my eyes.

'Hey,' I started.

'Hey. How are you?'

'Zack I don't think I wanna stay here for long. I wanna go back...'

There was a pause after I said that.

'Well, I'll tell you what, once a month I'll drive you back to your old town. Is that good?'

'Thanks Zack. I love you,'

'I love you too.'

'So,'

'What'r you doing?'

'Nothing, I'm on my bed and I'm just, missing you and my town. You?'

'I'm, doing nothing too. I miss you,'

'Can you come over?'

'I think so, but I'm not sure. Wanna sneak out later at night?'

'Um, I would but, I'm a little scared of my mom and dad would think.'

'Oh, well, I'll come over tomorrow. I have relatives here. Little kids. You wanna help me babysit while my parents and aunt are gone?'

'I'd love to. Pick me up?'

'Sure,'

I placed my left arm on my stomach. I heard Zack yelled Jay stop that! or something like that.

'What did you say?' I laughed a little.

'I told you, I'm babysitting my cousins. This is hard.'

'I wish I could come over,'

'Sure! I'll pick you up?'

'Oh okay, I think my mom's fine with that.'

'Okay, I'll be there in a few Karen. Bye.'

'Okay Zack. Bye.' I hung up. I can't wait. I got up and I told mom that I was going to help Zack with his little cousins. Thank God mom said yes. I sat down on a couch. Still dusty but oh well. I took out my phone and flipped it up and down. I waited for about ten minutes then I heard a honk. I took my jacket and said bye to mom and dad and ran to the car. I saw three kids inside in the back passenger seat.

'Front seat ma'am.' Zack opened the window and told me. I opened the door and went in. 'Guys meet Karen. That's Jay, Fera,' then Zack pointed to a kid that seemed autistic, 'and James.' Then Zack moved towards me a little, 'He's a little autistic, if you don't mind.' He whispered.

'It's fine. I've handled an autistic kid before.' I smiled at him. I gave him a little kiss and I could hear Jay going 'Ewww!'. He made me laugh.

Zack drove and in the car, I heard Fera whispering Jay and giggling with each other.

'Jay likes you!' Fera screamed.

'Fera! Be quiet!' yelled Jay covering Fera's mouth. They both were giggling and having fun, but the thought of James touched me.

'James, what do you like?' I asked James with a smile. James looked at me with a bright smile and when he was about to talk, Fera was yelling at me.

'Why are you asking James? He's a total coconut head!' said Fera.

'Totally!' Agreed Jay.

'Guys, be nice.' Zack said.

'Yeah, please be nice Jay and Fera.' I scolded them softly. I saw Jay rolling his eyes.

'Whatever!' said Fera.

There was a silence after that. After the long silence, we reached Zack's house. And it was huge. Zack parked and Fera, Jay and James got out of the car.

'Okay, what else are you hiding from me?' I folded my arms and looked straight at Zack's eyes.

'A lot of things. I just don't wanna brag.' Zack winked at me and took Fera's hand. We went inside and to the living room. I saw the room was pretty messed. I saw a few plates on the floor, plastic building blocks scattered, and two cans of Coke open and I bet it belongs to Zack. Fera and Jay played with the building blocks, and James went to a different place. Not where Fera and Jay are. James was sitting on a chair, drawing on a piece of paper with a black crayon on the table.

'Why is James always lonely?' I asked softly to Zack while we cuddled on the couch watching Cinderella on TV.

'Well, since he's autistic, Fera and James thinks he's a little weird I guess.'

'How old are these kids?'

'Jay is seven, Fera is four and James is six.'

'Why do you leave James alone like that?' I got up and walked to James. I sat on a chair and I put my hands on the table. 'Hey James,'I smiled. James didn't say anything to me in reply but he was smiling at me. 'You like drawing?' I asked him and he nodded at me with joy. 'What are you drawing?'

'Airp-plane!' he told me and waved his arms in the air.

'Can I see?' I asked, still with a smile. He passed the paper to me and I saw what he drew. 'That's a nice drawing James. You wanna be a pilot?'

'Yeah!' James' face was really bright, it made me smile.

'Well then you keep trying hard!' I motivated him. I saw James took out his crayons and started coloring his airplane. I noticed Zack smiling at me, I smiled back. He got up and walked and sat to the chair next to me. He smiled at me.

'Zack I'm hungry!' yelled Jay.

'Me too!' yelled Fera.

'What do you guys want?' asked Zack.

'Cake!' yelled both of them.

'Heh, I have to order cake this time?'

'I can bake cake?' I told Zack.

'You guys wanna make cake with Karen?'

'Yay!' yelled both of them.

'To the kitchen then,' told Zack. Jay and Fera rushed there. Zack got up and looked at me.

'James, you wanna help make cake?' I asked James.

'Yes!' said James hopping out of his chair. I took his hand and wrapped my other hand around Zack's. When we reached the kitchen, I saw Jay and Fera preparing the pots and pans already. Cute of them.

'We don't need pots and pans yet guys, we'll use them later.' I said with a smile. 'We're gonna need flour, two eggs, milk, a bowl, a hand mixer, butter, baking powder, salt, sugar and vanilla.' Jay and Fera marched right to a counter and took out all of them.

'They're really enthusiastic,' said Zack.

'Yeah,'

'Glad you're here,' Zack looked at me and smiled.

I took some butter and placed it in the bowl and using the hand mixer I beated it. 'Wanna try?'

'Me me!' yelled Fera. Fera noticed she was too short, Zack lifted her up and she gladly took the hand mixer and beat the butter.

'Me next!' yelled Jay. Zack picked up Jay and he also beat the butter. Zack put Jay down.

'James, wanna do it?' asked Zack. James ran to Zack and Zack picked him up and James beat the butter and laughed happily. Zack put James down and then I poured the sugar and vanilla and let the kids beat the mixture again. I added the first egg and Jay beat, the second egg added and Fera beated. I poured the flour in, James was jumping up and down so he can get a better view, and he placed his hands on the counter when it suddenly knocked down the flour bag. It fell right on him, Fera and Jay laughed at him.

'James you're such a dumb coconut head!' yelled Fera. Jay and Fera just kept on laughing. James ran away while crying. I looked at Zack with a horrible feeling. Zack ran chasing James.

'That isn't very nice you know. How would you feel if you were called a dumb coconut head?' I asked at them disappointed.

'Whatever bossy!' scoffed Fera. 'Now hurry up I am hungry!' Fera starts to get on my nerves. I would forgive her since she's only four, but still. I mixed the mixture and placed them in the cake pans. I stuck a toothpick in the cake. I put it in the oven and set the timer to 35 minutes. I groomed myself and looked for Zack and James.

I saw James and Zack lying on a bed. Zack was trying to comfort the poor kid. He was crying.

'What's wrong?' I mouthed.

'I'm trying to ask, he won't answer me.' He said softly.

'James, are you okay?' I sat on the bed. Zack got up and gave me some space. James said nothing, he only covered his face. 'James?'

'James?' Zack tried to open up his hands. He started making silly faces at him, and I followed. Finally James was laughing again. 'Let's get you downstairs.' Zack lifted James up and carried him in his arms. He pretended that James was an airplane and started lifting him up in the air making airplane noises. James was laughing with glee. Fera and Jay was outside in the backyard jumping on the trampoline.

'You have your own pool?' I asked.

'Yeah. Big deal,'

'Psh,' I scoffed. Zack played around with James and I just watched them and Fera and Jay play around. When the timer went off, I went inside, the toothpick lying on the cake. I took it out, and let it to cool for 10 minutes. When it was cooled, I called everyone inside. 'You have icing?' I asked Zack.

'Yeah, Fera go get the icing.' Fera marched to the counter and took all the icing, icing sugar, sprinkles, decorative stuff for the cake. I sliced the cake to five slices and everyone got one to decorate. Fera drew a princess, Jay drew a car, I wrote Zack's name, he wrote mine and James drew an airplane. After the decorating, Fera and Jay took out forks for everyone. We sat on the couch and ate.

When it was almost eight o'clock, I had to go. Everyone went in the car and when we reached my house, everyone went outside to hug me. Including Fera.

'Guys get in, I wanna talk to Karen.' ordered Zack. Fera, Jay and James went in the car. 'Thanks, Karen. I had a great night. You need to help me out more with kids.' I laughed softly. 'Tomorrow, okay? I'll pick you up.'

'Don't worry. Yeah tomorrow,' I smiled at him. We kissed for a short time and we could hear Fera and Jay going 'Ewww!' inside the car. We chuckled and Zack started stepping back to the car.

'Bye,'

'Bye Zack,' I waved at the car. When I lost the sight of the car, I went in my house. I had a great night.


===TO BE CONTINUED===

[bonus LML :D] Love me, Logan #15

I fell asleep in the car for a while, when I woke up, Zack told me we still have an hour to go. I put my hands in my hoodie pocket and that made me remember the note Logan gave me. I took it out, smoothened it and opened it.

Karen
At the start, I never did pay attention to you. I never noticed you liked me that much. But it's Alexa. She's always messing with my head, and when we're together, every time I try to talk to you she will think that I don't want her anymore. She's kinda, disturbing in that way. That's why we break up and make up again. Now since I'm feeling the way you felt for me, I was too late. You have your own way now. I can't do no more but to let you go with Zack. So, whenever you need a friend, I'll be there. So, can we start over?
Logan

I felt the pressure he puts on the pen and paper on the back of the paper. I crumpled it slowly with my hands. He never told me this. He's such a friend. I never thought he's like this. It's also too late if I'm going to be with him. Not that I'm having second thoughts.

'Why are you crying?' Zack asked.

'I am?'

'What's that note?'

'It's from Logan,'

'What's with him?'

'He, said that he wanted to start over.'

'Oh.'

'Yeah.' I say straight on the car seat and wiped my tears. I folded the piece of paper and put it in my hoodie pocket. I took out my phone and decided to text him.

i guess we can start over...

10 Minutes later, I finally got the answer.

thanks. hey, im sorta busy. we'll talk later :)

He sent me a smile and I didn't reply.

Love me, Logan #14 Part Three [sorry my blogs take long, hehe]

I saw him standing up. He followed me to the back seat.

'Excuse me, uh, do you mind if I sit on your place?' he asked. I groaned.

'Oh, oh, she must be your friend. Okay,' said the man. Logan gave him a quick smile and sat on the seat which formerly planned not to be seated by him. I feel like smashing my head on the window next to me. And I'm all, 'Oh my God! Why must this happen?!'. I curled up my hand and having that feeling when you really wanna punch a person but controlling yourself. I hate the feeling. And I also hate the fact that I'm, well, nice. I mean, a lot of people say that I'm waaay too nice. Logan sat next to me. Looked at me. Did his what used to be irresistible hair flip and smiled. I still think he's cute and all. He's never ugly. I swear. But I'm hella owned anyways.

'Hey,' he said with the smile that used to make me go so crazy. I did nothing, I just waved, not like how I would wave to Jess or Zack, especially them, it's like those, hi-you-could-go-away-now waves. Or like the Kristen Stewart wave she would do on Twilight. Logan looked disappointed. 'Look, I'm sorry about before. I was desperate for an answer.' I just nodded my head but like in those yeah, whatever. With a forced smile. 'Karen,'

'Logan,' when I said his name his eyes were sparkling as if he knew I was going to say something nice. 'What do you want?'

'Isn't it that obvious?'

'Do we have to talk about it now?'

'Well, you were the one who asked.'

'I don't need an answer now,'

'Do you wanna come over to my place? Talk this out? Change some plans?'

'Logan, I've had enough. Seriously.' I said that when I knew the bus is going to stop. 'Bye.' I walked passed him with an annoyed face. I didn't know what he looked like when I said bye. I wouldn't wanna know anyway.

I went down the bus, put my hands in my hoodie pocket and walked home. I was surprised when I saw Zack in front of my house. I ran and hugged him.

'Karen, I asked your dad and he lets me drive you to my town.' he gave me a smile. I hugged him again as another way of saying 'okay'.

'So, what do you wanna do?'

'I don't know, don't matter.'

'Logan's been chasing me,' I took a deep breath, 'it's been a while. Well, not that long but how annoying it is made it feel long.'

'Do I have to talk to him?'

'No, I guess I'll give him another chance.'

'Sure?'

'Yea,' I said. Honestly I wasn't really sure of my answer. He kissed my forehead anyway.

'Oh yeah, get out of your house tonight at eight, there's a lil' surprise for you.' he said. Nothing came in my mind when he said 'Surprise'.

'Okay,'

'Wear a nice dress, your hair done, and high heels.' he winked at me. I was expecting a dinner or something. I nodded my head. He gave me a hug and told me he needed to go. So he left.


I walk to my house entrance. I kicked rocks that got in my way. I felt something weird. Something is coming to me. I ran and went in my house like a ninja.

I went up my room and chose a dress and heels. It was already 6 P.M., I had to hurry a little. I took a bubble bath even though I might be too old for it, I took out my hairdryer and dried my hair. It took me a while but I was satisfied with the result, then I put on my dress and heels. I took my purse that matched with my dress and went downstairs.

'Mom? Dad?' I called. All I hear was the echoes replying. 'Kyle?' but it all echoed. I went downstairs and went outside and locked the house door. I saw Zack's car there. I ran to it. But I almost fell 'cause I forgot I was in heels. Zack went outside and kissed me. He opened the door for me and told me I looked beautiful. The night is going well so far. Even though I do not know what is going to happen or where am I going to. He drove me to this restaurant. Looks fancy. He opened the door for me and beeped his car locked.

'Uh, you're kinda going to be blindfolded, if you don't mind.' he gave a nervous smile to me and took out a black cloth thing.

'Well, I do mind being blindfolded.' I said. he stepped behind me.

'Well, too bad. ' he chuckled and covered my eyed with the black cloth. He held my shoulders from the back, 'walk slowly, I'll guide you.' He sounds so comforting. I didn't feel a thing. Or actually heard a thing. When it felt like we're inside the restaurant, he gently took off the blindfold, and I saw a banner that wrote 'We're Going To Miss You Karen!' and all my friends gathered in that place, I never felt happier.

I walked to the crowd. 'No one told me about this,' I said. The crowd laughed a little.

'This was Jessica's idea.' said someone in the crowd. Then everyone started cheering for her.

'Jess...' I walked to her with amusement.

'Yes, Karen?' she answered me with a smile.

'I, I don't know what to say,'

'Well you're gonna say thank you later,' she said. The crowd chuckled. 'Well, why are we so still? Let's get this party started!' The whole crowd agreed. The DJ turned up the music and everyone started dancing. I made my way to Jessica.

'Jess, this is amazing. Thank you.'

'Anything for my best friend!' she hugged me tight. 'Nice dress,'

'Thanks. Zack told me to put one on so, yeah.' We both chuckled a little. 'Have you seen my parents?'

'Oh yeah, they're there. By the bar,' Jessica pointed at them.

'Thanks, I'll be right back.' I walked. Jessica started dancing with some friends. 'Mom,' I said.

'Karen!' me and mom hugged.

'I don't wanna leave here,' I started sobbing.

'Aww, it's okay. We can always visit here,' she said hugging me and rubbing my back.

'I don't wanna,' I started crying.

'Don't worry, Karen. You have Zack for a friend in Fairsville.' she said patting my back. I took a deep breath. 'Why don't you go talk to your friends, a little cheering up will do,' she smiled at me. I smiled back. I love my mom. I walked to the crowd. I saw Zack talking to some guys from my class. I grabbed his hand and leaned on him.

'Whoa, you guys are going out?!' said Chad. Loud enough to get the whole crowd's attention. Zack groaned.

'It's rude to stare, continue your thing.' I said in a high pitched voice. Zack chuckled a little. The people came back in doing what they were doing before.

'We are,' Zack said.

'Awesome,' said Chad. 'So, uh, we're gonna, you know, leave you guys, uh, alone , if ya know what I mean.' he gave us a wink and walked away with his friends.

'How's your night?' asked Zack.

'So far, pretty good.' I said.

'Let's get a drink,' he said. We walked to the bar. I guess our parents found out that we're going out. As long as they don't mind. When we ordered our drinks, Jessica stood on this little stage thing.

'Attention, people!' Jessica managed to get the crowd's attention. 'Tomorrow, a very good friend of ours will be leaving this town, to a town that is four hours away. A town where her boyfriend, which is also my cousin, Zack, lives. Tonight is her last night to stay. So, if you don't say goodbye, you will regret it. All though she will visit out town from time to time. There is a few minutes left until 11 A.M., so if you're going to "confess" to her about something, now's your chance!'

The whole crowd started talking and coming to me.

When the night passed. Zack took me home and he hugged me.

'I don't wanna go,' I said. I started crying again. Zack hugged me.

'It's gonna be alright, I promise you. Fairsville isn't that bad.'

'I still don't wanna go,' I placed my head on his chest. He brushed my hair with his fingers.

'Give it a try. It's only four hours away,' he paused, then breathed. 'Here, every month, if I have the time, I, might promise you I would take you back here. Only if I have the time.'

I chuckled a little, 'that will be great,' I hugged him. He kissed my forehead. Since it was late at night, Zack had to go back to his hotel, and I had to prepare for tomorrow.


I woke up at 7 A.M., I showered and I continued my packing. I looked at my room for the last time. I would kiss it, but, you know. I took one last look. A look that reminded me so much about my memories in this house. I grabbed my bags and brought it downstairs. I went back upstairs to look at every room. I looked at my parent's room. I remembered every time I had a nightmare, or just thunder or lightning, I would always feel safe, cuddled by my mom. I went to Kyle's room. I looked at it and remembered the time when we were jumping on his bed and I fell and got a bruise on my knee, Kyle placed a bandage on my knee. I went back downstairs to eat something. After a few more last look at everything, it's time to go.

I went outside, Zack was already there. So was Jessica, and Logan. Zack took my bags and put it in his car. I went to Jessica first.

'Jessica, you are the most amazing best friend I have ever had. You were always there for me. Even when were separated by a distance. You never cease to please me. I love you.' I hugged her so tight, tears started running down our faces.

'I love you too, and I promise, I will always be there for you no matter what.' We let go of our hug and looked at each other. She was wearing the shirt I got her. I was wearing the shirt she got me. We hugged again for the the last time.

I went to Logan. He didn't say anything. He just gave me a piece of paper. Then he walked away. I didn't even get to say goodbye. Even as a friend. I went to my parents.

'I'll be with, uh, Zack.' I said wiping my tears.

'Well see you lata!' said Kyle.

'Yeah, later.' I crumpled the note from Logan in my hand. Zack opened the door for me and I went it. Mom and dad went first.

'Are you ready to go?' asked Zack.

'Yea,' I nodded my head. Zack started driving. I saw Jessica waving at me. But she quickly faded away from my vision. I took a last look at the town. I put the note Logan gave me in my hoodie pocket. Zack smiled at me.

'It's gonna be okay,' he said.



===TO BE CONTINUED===

Continued?! You still need to find out the letter Logan gave, right? ;]

Love me, Logan #14 Part Two

'Girl, don't tell me you're going emo.' Jessica said. She sipped her coffee and held the cup tight.

'No, I promise. He's not emo.'

'He is,'

'He only dresses emo. He's like obsessed with My Chemical Romance and someother emo bands. Doesn't make him a real emo, right?'

'I still can't believe you're dating him. My cousin. '

'Psh. What do you wanna do later?'

'It's your last day, well, not really but still. I need to get you something.'

'Jess, I'm the one who's leaving, I, need to get you something.' I said with a smile.

'Whatever. I'm still getting your something. Where to?'

'Mall. Duhh.'

'Okay. So like, we go to the mall and split up for half an hour to look for gifts for eachother. 'Kay?'

'Okie.'

We grabbed our bags and coffee and we fast walked out the door. We fast walked to the mall too. We stopped in front of a shop.

'We'll meet here in,' Jessica checked her clock, 'five thirty.'

'Okay, I'll go this way.'

'Later,'

So, I guess I know what I am going to get for her. A book. I know she doesn't like reading much, but I just got this book and I am hooked. I read it five times-ish. Since we have the same taste for genres, I'm getting her Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick.

I ran to the book store. I saw a lady tidying up the books on a book rack. I tap her back.

'Escuse me, do you have Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick?'

'Oh, yes we do. Come,'

I followed her. She took a book and showed it to me.

'This one?'

'Yes, thank you.' I said with a smile. I walked away to the cashier. I payed for it and went to search for something else. I still have twenty minutes. On my way out, I saw Logan. Well, he saw me first.

'H--' he 'almost' said. I pointed a finger and was about to say hi too. But he put on a long face and walked pass me.

'That was weird,' I softly said. I forgot about it and walked in a boutique. Maybe I'm getting her a pair of ripped jeans. She always wanted one. I knew her size, so it's easy. I saw one that she would like, I took it and purchased it. I don't care how much money I'm wasting [for my best friend]. =]

I looked back for no reason, I saw Logan in a hoodie. I looked back to the cashier. My heart started pumping. I might need to call Zack or something. I took my phone and I faced away from Logan. Making an exit, I dialed Zack's number. But he didn't answer. I walked faster. I looked back, Logan was following me. I started running. He ran too. I looked back. 'Stop following me!' I yelled. He started running faster. I ran faster.

'Why can't you love me instead of Zack?!' he kinda yelled. 'Why, Karen?' I noticed people started looking at us running from eachother. I stopped because of a dead end. Logan stopped and covered me with his arms.

'Let go! Let go!' I pushed him off me.

'Why? Can't you give me a good reason?' I looked next to me and saw a door. The door I was praying for. The door to the girl's toilet. I looked down to his 'lower' part. No, I was going to kick it because of my anger. But no. I ran to the girls toilet with him following me. As he noticed the sign, he stepped back and closed his eyes. The door was still open and some girls started screaming. Logan stepped back and kept his eyes shut. I started breathing heavily. I went to the sink and washed my face. I walked out the door. He's gone. And ten minutes left. I'm gonna get Jessica and me matching t-shirts. I tried to find the store, it was closed. Meh. I noticed the store next to it was a design-your-own-shirt. I walked in the store. I wanted a picture of cookie monster on it!

I chose two blue shirts that I know will fit us. I chose a picture to be printed on it. I told the guy what I want and in like, five minutes, it's done! I like the results. So I payed and ran to the place we are suposed to meet. I noticed Jess standing there. 'Sorry I was late!' I stopped my self right in front of her.

'It's okay. Switch shopping bags, 1, 2, 3!' we switched our shopping bags. She got me a necklace that wrote Friend on it, and a shirt that wrote Jessica's. Awww. 'I got you a necklace. I have best and you have friend!' Jess said with a smile. I smiled back and hugged her.

'I got us matching shirts. Cookie monster on it!' I said. She took out the shirt and her mouth was open.

'Awww! I'm going to wear it at your farewell.'

'My what?'

'Nothing!' she said. I got curious. I never did set up a farewell party? Oh well.

'I got you the jeans you wanted,' I said. She took them out and she hugged me.

'Thank you!'

'And I got you a book.'

'A book?'

'I know you don't like reading, but it's a really good book.'

'I'll read it, don't worry.' she said with a smile.

'I love you, best friend.' I hugged her again. Jessica's phone rang. She quickly picked it up.

'Hello? I'm with Karen. Oh, oh, okay, bye. Karen I have to go.' Jessica's long face appeared.

'Why?'

'My uncle came, and I need to have dinner with him.'

'Awww. You have to go then.' my long face appeared to.

'Bye,' she hugged me tight. I hugged her too. I waved at her as she made her exit. I took my phone with me. I walked to a bus stop. A bus came and I went inside. I saw Logan there. I made my way to the back seat trying not to look at him. I took a seat that has a person sitting next to me in order not to have Logan to follow me again.


===TO BE CONTINUED===

--Must Read! Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick!

Love me, Logan #14 Part One

No school today. I just sat there and waited the day to be over. I decided to write my diary.

Dear Diary,
i dont have anything to do today. last night was great. jessica's family is back, she's back and we had fun. im leaving in 2 days. 2 days for me to say good bye to the whole town. well, i guess its good i still have zack. atleast i have him. i hope im going to his school too. now whats in my head is logan. i think i should get over him before i start crying my self to sleep everynight. there are more fish in the sea, they say. and anyways, logan will not want a girl like me. hes popular im not. he dates popular girls like alexa.

I looked up to my ceiling to think about something else to write about. And to get my mind off Logan before I start crying. Suddenly, there was like, a rock that hit my window. I looked outside to find out who threw it. I saw Zack sticking out his tounge and laughing. I smiled. I ran downstairs and rushed my self to the door.

'Zack!' I ran to him and gave him a hug. He gave me a hug. But we looked at eachother and started feeling awkward. 'Uh, sorry,' I said nervously.

'It's fine, I like hugs.' he smiled at me. I smiled at him too.

'So, why are you here?'

'Hey, let's take a walk.' Zack grabbed my hand and we started walking. We're just friends, okay?

'So,' I said. I put my hands in my hoody pocket. We just walked.

'I don't know. I'm leaving from this town this Sunday and--'

'Really? Me too!'

'Aw, really?' Zack was pretty shocked. Everything happened to be a coincidence. I just nodded my head. 'Cool. Maybe I'll take you to my town. You can go in my car--'

'Wait, wait. A car? How old are you?'

'I'm sixteen and I just got it on my birthday.'

'Oh, carry on,' I nodded.

'So, as I was saying, maybe you can go in my car and I'll take you out for a tour?'

'I'll ask dad,' I smiled at him. We kept on walking. Not caring where we'll end up. Just following the side walk.

'So,'

'So,'

'Are you still crushing on that Logan kid?'

'Shut up!' I said looking at him. 'How did you know?'

'I have this ability to read your mind,'

'Funny,' I said sarcastically.

'I know right!'

'I was being sarcastic,' I said waving my hand at his face.

'I know. Psh. I'm not stupid.' he said. I scoffed. 'I read your diary,'

'What?'

'I really read it. Remember when I taught you how to dress emo?'

'Mhmm,'

'When you were changing, I went though your drawer and saw this book. I opened it and saw this drawing. It has a writing Logan--'

'Okay, okay. Too much,'

'Yeah right, you're embarrassed!'

'Well duh! Some guy I met a few weeks ago read through my diary?'

'Hehe,' Zack put his hands in his pockets. We just walked. 'I'll show you this place I go when everything goes wrong.'

'Zack, you live in a city four hours away from here.'

'I know. But I was here for a family gathering. Then I started hating everything. So at night, I usually go to this place and just sit there.'

'Oh,'

'Come on, it's not that far.' Zack pulled my hand and we started running. He took me to this building. He was suddenly all secret agent-ish. Since we weren't supposed to be there. We climbed stairs to the roof top. So, it's just a roof top of a building we aren't supposed to be in. 'Tada,' he spread out his arms.

'This?'

'Yep.' he sat on the edge of the building. 'Sit,'

'No. Oh, my God, you are not making me sit there.'

'What?'

'It, it's so tall and, and-'

'What? You're scared of heights?'

'No, YES!'

'Awww, Karen's scared of heights!' Zacl started teasing me.

'Don't Zack!'

'Fine,' he stood up and took my hand. 'Let's go somewhere else!'

'Ugh,' I grunted.

'Where do you wanna go then?'

'Let's go to my house. I have a tree house.'

'You still own a tree house?'

'I built it when I was eleven. It was Kyle's idea.'

'Okay then. Tell you what, my hotel's near and my dad brought his Harley for some reason. Let's ride it!' Zack said. His voice makes him sound so desperate to ride it.

'Okay then,'

We went down and walked to his hotel. It was 4 P.M. already. When we reached the hotel, I noticed where he's staying was the Ritz Carlton.

'Zack, this hotel.'

'What?'

'Well, is there something you're not telling me?'

'What?'

'You're rich!'

'Huh?'

'Well, the Harley, the hotel--' Zack placed his finger on my lips.

'Shh. Just between us.'

'Okay,' I whispered and nodded. We went inside the hotel. In the lift and to his room. Zack knocked at the door. His mom opened it for us.

'Karen! Hi!' said his mom.

'Hi,' I said and she gave me a hug.

'Hey mom, can I borrow the Harley?'

'Zack, why?'

'I'm going to Karen's house and instead of walking, you know,'

'Well, fine. The keys are on the table. Just make sure you drive safely.

'Yea, yea.' Zack took the keys and gave his mom a kiss on the cheek. 'Okay, later.'

'Bye,' I said.

'Good bye! Have fun!' said his mom in the 'mommy spirit'. We went to the parking lot and needed time to find where the Harley is. When Zack spotted it, we ran to it.

'You do know how to drive this, right?' I asked.

'Duh. If I don't then why am I taking you here?' Zack sat on the bike.

'Good. I wanna stay in one piece, thank you.' I went on the bike.

'Yes, ma'am.' Zack rolled his eyes. He started the engine. He drove pretty fast. 'I love speeding, so all you need to do there is pray we won't die and hold on tight.' I did what he said. He started going fast. I stared at some building we're passing fast. It only took us fifteen minutes for us to get to my house. And it took us forever to go there. But we had fun. 'Here we are.' he turned off the engine and we both got off.

'Park your bike in my garage. Just incase.' I said. Zack nodded and we walked to the back. He brought his bike and parked it in the garage. My dad was there doing his car. 'Dad, can Zack park his bike here?'

'Hi Zack. Sure,' he said. Zack parked his bike.

'Okay, now to my fantasy world.' I said. Zack laughed a little. We went up to our tree house and we just sat there. We leaned on the wall, sitting next to eachother. Yeah, I feel the vibes. I'm getting over Logan.

'Logan, huh?'

'Shut up, I'm getting over him.'

'Awww, who do you like now?'

'I'll tell you if you tell me.'

'Fine. You first,' he said. I took a piece of paper and two pencils. I ripped the paper in two.

'Write it here. We'll exchange it.'

'Whatever you say,'

We wrote down our crush on the paper, and took a deep breathe.

'Ready?'

'Yeah,'

We exchanged the paper slowly. I read his, and it wrote YOU , I stared at his bad hand writing and felt the pressure he put on the paper.

'Is this true?' he asked and showed the paper to me.

'Yeah,' I said nervously but with a smile.

'Karen, would you be my girlfriend?'

'Yeah,' I nodded cheerfully. We stared at eachother. We leaned closer, closer, and closer. He placed his lips on mine. My first kiss. He let go and stared at me. He smiled. Suddenly, his phone rang.

'Hello?'

'Zack, honey, go home please. A friend of mine is taking us out for dinner.'

'Okay, bye.' Zack flipped his phone and put it in his pocket.

'Who was that?'

'My mom, I have to go. Her friend is taking my family out for dinner.'

'Aw, well, okay.' We went down from the tree house. He took his bike and I walked with him to my front yard. He went on his bike and started the engine.

'Bye,' he said and kissed my lips again.

'Bye,' I smiled at him. He gassed and started fading away from my sight.

'Karen!' a sound called me. I turned and I saw Logan.

'Logan?'

'Karen!'

'Hi?'

'Hey,'

'Why are you here?'

'I was going to ask you.'

'Oh. Okay,'

'Karen, I've been hearing that you liked me, and --'

'No, well--'

'No, listen, and after all these days, I just realized you really did,'

'No, Logan--'

'So, I was going to ask you, would you be my girlfriend?'

'Logan, I'm moving.'

'Is that a yes?'

'No, Logan wait. I'm moving and I've liked you forever. And nothing happened. Just today, I got over you.'

'I'm confused. Answer me, yes or no.'

'No, Logan, sorry,' I took a deep breath. 'My heart belongs to someone else now,'

'Who?'

'Remember my friend, Zack?'

'Oh, him.'

'And anyways, I don't want distanced relationship --'

'Zack lives here right?'

'No, Logan, he's from the town I'll be in. He's here for holiday.'

'Oh, where are you moving?'

'Fairsville.'

'Oh, well then, okay.'

'I'm sorry,' I held his hand. 'Sorry.' he took his eyes off me and walked away. I didn't say anything. The guy of my dreams I finally got over asked me out. I said no. I jsut stared at him walking away. When I completely lost his sight, I went back in the house.

The day was over. Then, my last day of school.

RIIIIING , school bell.

'Karen!'

'Jessy!'

'How's Logan?'

'Logan? Seriously. I got over him.' Karen blocked my way and put her arms on my shoulders.

'Look at me in the eye and tell me the truth.' I put my arms on hers too.

'Jessica, I got over Logan. The guy of my dreams. I am now going out with--'

'YOU'RE GOING OUT?' Jessica shouted. It got the whole corridor's attention.

'Shh! I am.'

'With who? Girl, why didn't you tell me?'

'I, I don't know.'

'With who?'

'You don't know him. He's my friend.'

'Well, what's his name?'

'Zack.'

'Zack? Last name?'

'I don't know.'

'Wait,' Jessica pulled out her wallet from her bag and took out a picture. 'This Zack?'

'Yeah.'

'KAREN. HE'S MY COUSIN!'

'WHAT?!' I shouted. And got the whole corridor's attention again. We're known for loud people.

'He is. You're going out with my cousin?'

'I guess,'

'Oh well. Since when?'

'Last evening.' I told her everything in class. When it was the end of school, we decided to hang out in a coffee shop we like.

'That's really sweet of you guys. But, like, the awkward part is that he's my cousin. I can't say if he's hot or not,'

'Riiight. He's really cute,'

'He's emo,'

'I know, that's what I like about him.' I sipped my coffee.



===TO BE CONTINUED===

Love me, Logan #13

When school was over, Jess had to go home early for something. So I was alone again. I stepped out of the school corridor. There, I saw Logan holding a girl's hand. It was Alexa. Logan's ex. Logan's freaking ex. Logan turn around and saw me. Alexa looked at me with disgust.

'Hey,'

'Hi,' I said. I walked away. It looks like Logan was about to say something. I held my breath, I was about to cry.

'Wait! Karen!' Logan shouted my name. I didn't answer.

'Logan, you are my boyfriend now. So act like one!' said Alexa. I overheard her.

'Alexa, I have friends.' said Logan. Logan let go o her hand and ran to me. 'Hey, hey, what's wrong.'

'Nothing. Go away.' I said.

'What? Karen? Answer me!'

'I don't wanna talk! Now go away! You have a girlfriend to be with.' I said. I saw my car and went inside. I slammed the door at Logan's face.

'Fine then.' he walked away.

'What's the matter, sweetheart?' asked mom.

'Don't ask. I wanna go home.' I said. Mom drove us home. I stomped right up to my room and wrote in my diary.

Zackehh is offline.

Now I'm just praying for someone to come over. I lay down on my bed.

'Karen! Jessica's here!' said mom.

'Oh, thank you God. Coming!' I stood up and ran downstairs. I saw Jessica there. 'JESSY!' I screamed and hugged her. She hugged me back.

'Hey!' she said.

'Hey!' I said. 'What do you wanna do?'

'I don't know. Let's go to the backyard.' she said. It's been a while since she came to my house.

We both sat on the swing in my yard, it used to be our favorite place. And still.

'So, how's everything?' she asked.

'Logan has a girlfriend,'

'Oh my, what the hell?'

'Serious, it's that Alexa girl.'

'Logan hates Alexa!'

'That's why. Logan sounds so cheap now.'

'You still like him, though,'

'Jess, it's like you can see through me,' I smiled at Jess.

'I know right,' Jess laughed.

'It's like, why am I bothered to like someone whom I'll never be with?'

'Don't worry, you will be with Logan, soon.'

'I don't think so,'

'Psh. When are you moving?'

'I don't know. I'll tell you when my dad tells me,'

'Hmm, if you're still here this Saturday, let's go shopping!'

'Yes please! I think I'm moving this Monday or something.'

'Oh, good then.'

'I think...'

'Hmm..' Jessica started swinging on the swing. I did also.

'Something smells, burnt.'

'Yeah,'

'Dad! What's that smell?' I shouted. There was no answer. 'Dad!'

'Yes, Karen?' said dad.

'What's the smell?'

'Steak for dinner. We have guests.'

'Who?' I looked at Jessica. She was smiling. 'Jess?'

'Yea!' Jessica said happily.

'What about your parents?'

'They're fine, Karen. No more fighting,'

'Oh, thank God!'

'Hmm,' hummed Jessica. We started swinging again.

'What time is it,'

'I don't know,'

'It's getting dark,'

'Have we been out here that long?'

'I guess.' I started humming Dance floor Anthem [by Good Charlotte] and swinging again higher and higher.

'Everybody, I don't wanna be loved, I don't wanna be loved,' sang Jessica.

'How did you know?'

'I love Good Charlotte, Karen.'

'Since when?'

'Since forever!' we started singing Dance floor Anthem like idiots sitting and swinging. I know it's an old song, but I have fun.

When it was like, 7:30 P.M., we were called to get in the house. Dinner time. I saw Jessica's parents.

'Karen! You look very pretty!' said Jessica's mom. We hugged. 'How are you?'

'I'm good, hehe. You?'

'I am fine, thank you.' her mom smiled at me.

'Alright, everyone sit down. Dinner time!' said dad. Everyone sat down and mom started serving stakes.

'Karen, help serve drinks.' said mom. I stood up and walked to the kitchen counter. 'Serve the adults champagne, and ask the young ones what they want.' I just nodded my head.

'Champagne anyone?' I said. The adults raised their hand, and Kyle also did. 'Not you, Kyle.' I poured some in the adult's glasses. 'Jess, what do you wanna drink?'

'Coke!' she said.

'Why aren't you asking me?' asked Kyle. I threw a can of coke to Jessica.

'Best friends first,' I said to Kyle. 'What would you like to drink, Kyle?' I said annoying him.

'Sprite. Put it on my tab.' he said.

'Psh.' I scoffed. I threw the can to him. I took a can of Coke and sat down.

The adults talked adults stuff, me and Jess talked some other stuff. Kyle, psh. Don't ask.

All of that was over in a blink of an eye. We all had fun. We have never done for a long time. But there is this thing called time, everything just has to pass. It's a new day. I'm moving this Sunday. And it's a Thursday already. Great.

===TO BE CONTINUED===

Love me, Logan #12

It's a new day, Friday. Jessica's coming back. I can't wait! I won't be picking her up though. Today's also a holiday. They're still using the school building for something. Thank God it's Friday. I got off my bed. I went downstairs. Of course, the first person I'll see in the morning is Kyle. Kyle eating.

'Morning Karen,' said Kyle. That's...odd. He never say that eversince he was born.

'Morning...' I said awkwardly. I stared at him awkwardly and sat down on a chair, still feeling the awkwardness.

'Morning, sweetheart.' I noticed dad messing my hair from the back. He took a seat, his face looks uncomfortable. 'Karen, I've been promoted, and we're moving.'

'What?' I said.

'I got promoted, and we're moving. I'm sorry, Karen.'

'Wh-where are we moving?'

'A town four hours from here, uhm, Fairsville.'

'You mean that the city Fairsville?'

'Yes. Is it okay, Karen?' dad's face is worried. 'I know you have friends, but, we all have to leave them. Just four hours away,'

'It's okay dad, I'll live with it.' I said shaking my head. I guess I'm alright with the idea. But, Logan, I'm gonna have to leave him. That's hard. But I have to act normal. I mean, that's how I'm gonna have to be to get along with people. Dad just hugged me. I stood up and took a bowl. I poor it with cereal and milk. I ate it with discomfort. Without saying a word, I finished my breakfast and went back upstairs. I wanted to write my diary this time. I went to my room and saw my diary there, untouched. I took it and a pen and started writing.

Dear Diary,

im gonna have to move. idk how am i gonna be getting along in fairsville. im gonna miss logan so much. im gonna miss jessica so so so much. i know, im only 4 hours away, but still. 4 hours wont make me able to hangout with jessica and logan often. i seriously dont know how much my life will suck there. i mean, first i'll have to leave jessica, then logan?! how suckish can life get?

When I was writing every sentence, a tear drop would fall off my face and land on my book. SERIOUSLY, I HAVE TO LEAVE LOGAN?! AND JESSICA?! I continued expressing myself on a book. A book. People would say. But this book is not just a book, it's a book filled with my dreams, love life, normal life, and feelings.

what if i end up in a school filled with snobs and weird people? im already comfortable here! im so worried. but, huh. idk. im gonna have to face what you call LIFE. those things you need to face, good AND bad. well, bye jessica. and logan. AND LOGAN. LOGAN DDDDDDDDDDDDDDx

Yes, I did write the last part, but in drawings. And then I drew some sad faces around my writing. I'm no more happy Karen.

Instead of crying my brain out, I went on my laptop. When it was on, I thought about what I said to my self before. How do you cry your brain out? Never mind. Hey, Logan's on Skype. I didn't want to video call him. I'm seeing if he would video call me. I waited. And he did. I was so happy! Of course, I'd answer it. Psh.

'Hey,' he said to me through video call. His voice was kinda fuzzy. But psh. I don't care.

'Hey,'

'You look pretty even from video call,'

'Oh, you don't look bad either.' AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! HE CALLED ME PRETTY!

'Haha. So, how's the weather?'

'The weather? Haha,' I said.

'Gosh, you're pretty.' he said. AND WE AREN'T EVEN DATING! AAAAAAA!!

'Aww, thanks.' I said.

'Wanna do something? Do you go on IMVU, or Zwinky?'

'Zwinky,'

'I'm going on mine. You coming?'

'Yea,' I shook my head. We went on Zwinky. If you don't know, Zwinky is an online chatting game thing. I love it.

So, we went on caht with our video call still on ♥

It went like this:


karen__x: hey. yu look pretty, virtually, lol, cute

hotdogs76: hehe. chu too :]

karen__x: wht r we gonna do here?

hotdog76: idk. im lagging. brb

karen__x: k

hotdog76: back

hotdog76: ty :]

karen__x: my turn to poof. brb

I poofed. It was lagging so much. Then, LIKE DUHHHH, I went back to Logan.

karen__x: hellurs :D

hotdog76: hiiiii

karen__x: its laggin hardcore, lets go to your room

hotdog76: sure -___-

I went to his virtual room, so did Logan himself. It was more quiet, of course. It was only the two of us. "The two of us", I like those four words.

karen__x: soo..

hotdog76: soo..

karen__x: i need to tell yu sometin :/

I was going to use the L word, but, I don't know.

hotdog76: what?

karen__x: nvm

hotdog76: sorry

karen__x: my head hurts. i think imma go off now...sorry

hotdog76: oh. ok. get well karen :]

karen__x: byee.

hotdog76: ily.

I read that. When my cursor was just about to click exit.

I was smiling when I turned off my laptop. Then, silently, I stood up on my bed.

'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' I said starting to jump on my bed and shaking my hair and just yelling. 'LOGAN ALEXANDER LOVES ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' I was just soo happy! I thought today would be the suckish! But no! I was so happy! I couldn't stop jumping on my bed. This could be my chance! My chance of going out with Logan!

I'll be waiting for the day! I want to go out with him! I won't stop jumping. Until my head hurts again. Ouch. That's enough headbanging, I said to my self. I lie down on my bed. My head was spinning so much. I need to tell Logan I like him before he doesn't anymore. But, I'm not brave. I just can't! But I will.

I looked at the clock, I was hungry for chocolate. I hope Kyle didn't finish my Hershey's. I went downstairs, Kyle wasn't there. Good. I went to the kitchen, to the fridge and took my chocolate. I sat on the couch. I saw dad washing his car. Makes me wonder, when are we moving? I went outside and asked dad.

'Daddy, when are we moving?'

'This Wednesday, sweetheart.' he said. I felt cool I didn't say anything but thanks. And I went back inside. I thought about what dad said. My head was like, THIS WEDNESDAY?! Shiiiiiz. Oh well.

The day went slow. I didn't get any text messages from Jessica. Not a call either. I tried to call her a billion times, she won't pick up. I sent her a text message too. Not a, more like, one thousand. Psh. I guess I'll have to see her in school.

The next two days went fast. Even though I didn't do anything. Even Sunday, which is supposed to be family day.

So it's a Monday. School time. Logan time. Finally meeting Jessica after a long time, time. I walked down the hall. I saw Jessica. I ran to her secretly. And then I bear hugged her.

'Oh my God I miss you so much!' I said.

'KAREN! I miss you!' Jessica said. She hugged me too. We hugged so much that day.

'How's your parents?' I said.

'Psh. I don't wanna talk about them. I'm living my life,' she said. Wow. She sounded like she didn't care. I guess she knows everything's going to be alright. 'What class?'

'History,'

'Let's go get back seats!'

'I got my real Jessica with me,' I said. She passed me her favorite gum she bought at Spain. I liked it.

'Alright,' she said. We strut down the hall to our history class. We entered the class and sat on the very last row. 'So, how's Logan?'

'I went on Zwinky a few days ago, and he said --'

'No,'

'He said I love you!'

'Oh my God Karen! Does he know?'

'No,'

'Aren't you gonna tell him? Since he feels the same for you?'

'I, I can't Jess,'

'Well, why not?'

'I'm not, you know,'

'What?'

'Brave,'

'Oh, Karen. Just like that song we both wrote. We were so bored. Remember "You won't know I love you becasue I'm just not --'

'Brave,' we said together. We laughed at the end. Good times.

'Now seriously,'

'What, Jessica?'

'When?'

'I told you!'

'Come one, Karen. You can do it. Promise me, by the end of this week, you'll tell him.' she said. She made me remember I was moving. I need to tell her.

'Jess, I won't be here by the end of this week,'

'What do you mean?'

'I'm moving,'

'What?!'

'My dad has a job in Fairsville. I'm sorry,'

'Aww, Karen, tell your dad to have you stay here,'

'I can't, Jess.'

'Well, you're going to be spending a lot of time with me, Karen West.'

'Fine. I miss you, person.' I hugged Jessica again.

'I miss you more,' she hugged me back. The teacher went in. We went back to our goody-two shoe selves. I saw Logan walk. He was confused when he saw Jessica next to me.

'Jess, welcome back.' Logan said. He was pointing at Jessica's chair confused.

'Thank's Logan. Why are you pointing?'

'No, nothing. It's just when you aren't here I sit next to Karen.' Logan said. Jessica looked at me grining.

'Well, don't worry, I can move.'

'No, no, it's okay. You're her bestfriend and all, so, stay. I'll sit infront of you guys.'

'Ehem? Girls?' Jessica said, she cleared her throat. She hates to be called a "guy".

'I mean, girls.' Logan took the seat infront of me, and then Seth has to sit next to him.

'Whoa, another chic?'

'Shut up, Seth.' said Logan. Seth scoffed and winked at me and Jessica. We looked at him in disgust. Even he's almost hot, but still. The teacher started teaching. We started doing our thing in class; doodling, day dreaming, tapping fingers on the desk, and sleeping. Also talking. Silently.
