Love me, Logan 2 #5

The day ended fast.
I woke up from my sleep and looked at my alarm clock; 4 A.M. Wonderful. I'm still trying to bond with the new environment. I don't know what to do until everyone wakes up. Maybe I'll walk around the block or something. I took my hoodie and tip-toed out the house. The day was still dark. At least I have my phone with me. I remembered I was supposed to pick up Jessica for tomorrow's concert. I hope Zack's free today.

I kicked rocks along the way, hoping the day would go on faster. I passed each house and eventually got bored. I looked at the clock on my phone and I got pissed since it's only been ten minutes.

'Maybe I'll go back home and see what happens.' I said to my self. I turned around and walked back to my house. I noticed Kyle was awake. 'Are you usually awake at this time?' I said half sarcastically.

'I haven't been sleeping for two days Karen. Look at these black things under my eyes! I've been going to the fridge for some milk every hour and now there's none left!'

'What's wrong with you? Oh, right. Everything's wrong with you.'

'Shut up. I'm serious. I miss home.'

'I know right. What's up with the attitude?'

'I told you I miss home! I miss the friking tree house, the smell of it, the smell of the air there, the school, the people, Dane, Denise, Oli--'

'Wait, who's Denise?' I know Dane already, his retarded friend and the one whom he was about to say, Oliver who is way sane then him. But, who's Denise?

'De-, Denise?'

'Ooooh. Kyle!'

'What?'

'Is it?'

'What?'

'Girlfriend.' I mouthed at him.

'Yes. I-I mean no. NO!'

'Ooooh Kyle why didn't you tell me?!'

'Why would I tell you?'

'Because you have a girlfriend! Kyle has a girlfriend! Kyle has a girlfriend!' I jumped around and teased him.

'Shut up Karen!'

'What's happening here?' A yawn came from the door of my parents' room. It was dad.

'Dad Kyle has a girlfriend!' I said.

'KAREN!' Kyle yelled.

'You do?' Dad stepped closer to Kyle. 'Why didn't you tell me?'

'Dad! Join me! Kyle has a girlfriend! Kyle has a girlfriend!'

'Kyle has a girlfriend! Kyle has a girlfriend!' Me and dad jumped around him pointing at his face until we were worn out.

'Are you guys done?' Kyle asked. Me and dad were running out of breath.

'I think so yeah.' Dad said.

'Good.' Kyle took a cookie and walked back in his room.

'Why are you in a hoodie, Karen?'

'I woke at 4 A.M., and I didn't know what to do.'

'Did Kyle do the same?'

'Nah. Kyle couldn't sleep because he's homesick. Why are you up so early?'

'Well, truthfully, I'm also homesick. But your mother is sleeping tightly.'

'How does she do that?'

'I wish I could answer that darling.' Dad wrapped an arm around me. My phone vibrated in my back pocket. I checked and it was a text message from Jess.

"Dudz sorri i cant sleepover at urs and cant go to concert toms ): so much crap to do lately. I got a project wit nelson. Urgh. Why do i always hav to be wit the nerds. K, so im gonna pass out again since its 5 am bye sessy karen xoxo ttul. <3" It read.

"Aye jessy. Awww! Gud thing we havnt got tickets yeh aha. Lol awh got a group wit him eh? Wish u luck babe <3 ttul sessy xoxo" I replied. And I texted Zack that he doesn't need to pick Jess up.

"you woke me up." Zack said via text message to me. I giggled and flipped my phone and slipped it down my pocket.

I didn't really know what to do for the day. No one's awake. Maybe I'll go to Kyle's room, I said to myself. I walked to Kyle's room and without the thought of knocking, I bust right in.

'What do you want?'

'Can't your loving sister just freaking enter her baby brother's room?' I said sweetly.

'Get the hell out Karen.'

'No.'

'Fine. What do you want?'

'Can I see a picture of your girlfriend?'

'But after that can you get out? Guys like me need beauty sleep you know.'

'Guys like you are fags. Now let me see her pic.'

'But promise to get out after!'

'Fine!' I whined. Kyle threw his phone at me. I browsed through the pictures and there was a folder titled "♥" and I knew it was the folder. I saw a girl that kinda looks like Miranda Kerr. 'She kinda looks old.' I said.

'Shut up she's freaking 14.'

'And how old are you?'

'I'm 14 now get the hell out.'

'Whatever.' I threw his phone at him really hard and walked out. I seriously didn't know what to do for the day. No one's awake at this time so maybe I'll go on my laptop or something. The Wi-Fi has to be on.

I walked in my room and took my laptop out of the case and hoped on my bed. I signed on Facebook even though I never liked going on it. I had four friend requests and five notifications. I checked the notifications first and the first thing I saw that Jessica tagged a picture of me. I clicked it and I saw a picture that was took like, ten years ago. Me and Jess were hugging each other and smiling really wide. There was a writing that said "I MISS YOU". Completely in awe, I liked the picture and post a heart in the comment box.

I didn't really know what to do for a few hours but shout at the TV screen about my opinions of the total bitches in America's Next Top Model. You know, they're always like, "I'm perfect, she isn't." or "She is nice but a total whore" and those types. It really annoys me. Why do you have to be so skinny to be pretty? Even if that is something out of subject because being skinny is required in being a model? I don't even know. But anyway, Kyle walked out of his room at like, 3 P.M.; he's been spending time in his room, calling his girlfriend for the past, I don't know, two hours, and he only came out for orange juice.

'Kyle what are you doing in there?' Mom asked. Kyle grinned widely. I turned around facing mom.

'Haven't you heard mom?' I said.

'Heard what Karen?'

'That Kyle,' I paused, and gave a look at Kyle. 'Has...'

'Karen!' Kyle shouted. Mom's face went glowing.

'Kyle, my baby boy,' Mom ran tip-toed to Kyle and pulling his cheeks in so many directions his cheeks grew red. 'Who's the lucky girl?' She winked. I laughed so hard at him.

'Thanks a lot Karen.' He looked at me embarrassed.

'Anytime bro.' I said. I turned back to the TV.

'Karen.' Mom whispered. I turned back. 'Who is she?'

'Denise.' I said.

'Karen!' I heard Kyle shout. All my mom and I did was just laugh.

My phone vibrated, I picked it up. I recognized it was Zack.

'Hey,' I said.

'Hey Karen.' He said in a tune that made my day. 'I was thinking...' he paused.

'Thinking...'

'There's a beach party tonight, at five. Do you think you could come with me?'

A smile lit up my face, 'sure. Pick me up?'

'Sure thing.' I felt him smile along the phone line. ''kay see you later?'

'Yeah.'

'Sweet.'

'See you later.' I said. I hung up.

First thing that came up in my head: What. To. Wear. I went straight to my dresser. But knowing not all of my clothes are in there, I had to open a few boxes to look for something to wear. I spent an hour and a half just looking for something to wear. After a few mix and matching, I decided to wear a loose white tee and shorts and a black bikini under. Not forgetting a bag and flip flops.

After I found out what to wear, I continued watching some FOX News and made comments at the TV. Without realizing, I fell asleep on the couch. Half awake, I didn't realize I moved my head on Zack's lap. He brushed my hair. I woke up, I rubbed my eyes.

'Hey.' Zack said. Smiling at me.

'Oh, hey.' I said. Realizing I fell asleep, I rose up and looked at the clock. 'God, I fell asleep! Sorry to keep you waiting!' I said panicking.

'Chill, it's fine. Anyway it's better to attend a party a few minutes late than being totally punctual.' He smiled. 'Go get dressed, leaving in five.' He told me. I got up on my feet and walked to my room. I put on the out fit I prepared. I walked out and Zack looked impressed. He was wearing an white tee and khaki shorts. I slipped my arm into his, said good bye to mom and dad and walked out.

We walked in the car. He smiled at me. 'What?' I smiled back.

'Nothing.' He started laughing softly.

'What is it?' I said smiling.

'You're just cute. That's all.' He said. I smiled at him. He got the car to go and drove. We didn't go to fast, or slow. Just a drive. Enjoying the reggae being played in the radio. When the sounds of waves smashing onto each other sounded clear, we slowed down and Zack parked the car.

I took a view at the crowd. These people were Zack's friends. Me and Zack stepped in the crowd, hand in hand, until my mood dropped.

'What the hell? What is that doing here?' A familiar voice.

Alexa.

'Don't talk to her like that.' Zack said.

'Let me talk to you then.' She let hand slide down Zack's arm. 'Baby, why her?'

'What the hell Alexa?!' I slapped hand off Zack's arm.

'Bitch he loves me.' Alexa pointed a finger at me.

'What the hell? I don't even know who you are!' Zack said disgusted.

'Baby, shush. Let me do the talking.'

'Don't you call him that.' I said squinting my eyes at her.

'Well make me!' Her tune rose. A guy standing next to me had a drink in his hands, I snatched it off his grip and threw the drink at Alexa. She gasped, wiping the drink off her. 'You bitch!' She grabbed someone's drink and almost threw it at me but a hand stopped her. It was Derek.

'Derek! Hi!' Zack said in a girly voice.

'Zacky!' Derek said with a little girl attitude. I laughed at them.

'Hey you stay away from them or I'll make your reputation down the toilet later in school. Understand?' Derek said threatening Alexa. Alexa scoffed and walked away.

We got ourselves drinks and just the three hanging in by the beach. Suddenly, Alexa and an army of girls that are either Zack's and or Derek's ex or crush came with eggs. One threw an egg at me, but missed.

'What the hell? Alexa what do you want?!' Zack stood up.

'You.' She said. 'So does these girls.'

'God, you? Crystal? We were done remember?' Zack had a confused and mad tone.

'What happens if I want you back?' Crystal said. She looked like a total slut.

'What? You cheated.' Zack said furious

'Well.' She threw an egg at me.

'Where did you girls get these eggs?' Derek asked. A girl pointed at a restaurant by the parking lot. 'Alexa do you really want me to ruin your reputation?'

'What? And why are you even here?'

'To take back what happens to be mine.' Said Crystal. She stepped forward and touched Zack. I stood up, Zack pushed her away disgustedly.

'He's mine. Cry me a river.' I said.

'He was mine first.' Said Crystal.

'No he was mine first!' Said another chick.

'No! I kissed him first!' Said another chick. Suddenly a bitch slap got on. Oh how I love these dramas. Every girl started throwing eggs at each other, pulling on each other's hair, calling names and fighting for a guy. Bitch slap. Is. Entertainment.

We slowly walked away from the scene and laughed it off.

'Aren't you gonna tell me how many ex you had?' I said with a giggle.

'Me?' Zack pointed to himself.

'Both of you! That was so much drama just for two guys!' I said holding my stomach.

'I know right. Well, my ex was like, only three out of the whole crowd.' Claimed Derek.

'And you?' I looked up to Zack.

'Ehh. I had only five out of the whole crowd. Then, who are the others?'

'Probably your crush or the girls that wishes she had you as her boyfriend and me as a best friend or something.' Derek said. There was a little silence. But it passed when Zack offered drinks. We stood in the crowd, having drinks, talking about the school I'm going to be in. Truthfully, I didn't enjoy the conversation. I missed my old school. I missed Jess. But I don't know what to do about it. I'm stuck in this place so I'll have to look on the brightside of every freaking thing to survive.

'So, school starts in two days. You think you're ready for a new place?' Zack said.

'I guess so. I'm just a little insecure about the people there.' I said.

'The people there are okay, I think.' Zack said hesitated. 'But, I won't let anyone or anything upset you.' He smiled.

'Plus, you have us to kick ass.' Derek said pointing at him and Zack cooly.

'Thanks guys.' I said and smiled at them.

The music slowed down. Everyone got a partner and slow-danced. I got Zack and Derek didn't get anyone. He just sat by the table and had drinks. I didn't really care that I'm actually wearing a tee and shorts, but as long as he liked it, I don't need to worry. I rested my head on Zack's shoulder and noticed Derek was dancing with a girl. He looked happy about it. I just smiled at him and he smiled back. I pulled my head off Zack's shoulder and looked at him.

'It's getting late,' Zack paused, 'you wanna go back home or stay out for a while?'

'Don't tell me to go home when I don't have to.' I smiled at him.

'You wanna get out of here?'

'Yeh.' I nodded. Zack mouthed "let's go" and took my arm and first, we walked to Derek.

'We're out of here, you in?' Zack said to Derek.

'Hello?' Derek said pointing at the girl he had in his arms.

'Riiiiight. Later then.'

'Bye Derek!' I said cheerfully. Me and Zack walked to the car. He started the engine and drove slowly, we talked about the party. But my phone rang and it was my mom telling me to go home. Without any other choice, Zack had to drive me home. In the middle of the way, it started raining. Zack turned up the radio and drove faster every time my mom texted me to get home faster. When we reached home, Zack walked me to the door.

'Thanks.' I said giving him a hug. 'I had, almost, had a good time.' I said remembering what happened.

'I'm sorry for what happened. I'm not gonna let that Alexa girl touch you. I promise.' He said to me. He tipped my head upwards slightly, and pressed his lips against mine. I placed my hands on his shoulders and his hands on my hips.

'Karen mom made--' Kyle's yell shocked us and we stopped the kiss. 'No, no, go on. I was just going to tell you mom made Lasagna...' Kyle said stepping a few steps back awkwardly. I smiled at Zack and mouthed "bye" at him. He smiled back and fast-walked back to his car. I walked to in the house with Kyle looking at me embarrassed.

'Don't worry. When you kiss with Denise I'm gonna make sure gramma knows.' I winked at him.
