Boarding school

Chapter 8

A/n chapter 7 was really lame, sorry you guys. Anyway hopefully I'll have the cast posted soon enough.
(Dani.)
*2 weeks later*
I'm thinking that I'm starting to get used to this school. I have the hallways memorized, kid's names, dorms, schedules.
I've become acquainted with some of the kids in my classes, still my main friends are Lola, Gage, and Logan.
I really enjoy them, it's kind of a lot easier. If that makes sense, it's just that they understand things more.
And they seem like the kind who wouldn't because they seem preppy and jocky but they aren't.
If I talk about certain music I like, they end up liking it too. Gage actually loves to read and Logan is a sucker for his mom. Lola loves cats too.
It's funny that we all have these little things, they thought it was the coolest thing ever that I played guitar.
The classes are a little harder, but we only have 3 now. It's kind of like college because I've finished most of my credits. Most of these kids have.
The only real problem is how much I miss my family. In the two weeks I've been here I talked to my dad once on the phone, I've had only a couple text conversations with Jack and I haven't heard from Peyton.
I can't really, he's 7. It bothers me though, we were really close and I haven't even gotten to talk to him in a while.
In ways though, they make me feel better. Logan feels like another brother. Gage...he feels like something I can't place my finger on it.
He's cute, really cute. Nice too, and he's in no way conceited it's adorable.
He feels hard to get to in a way, I'm not sure.
On the other hand Lola and Logan obviously have something going on. They flirt a lot, but haven't actually started dating.
Probably not to rush into it and be awkward, I think it'd work out.
I hope, and I hope in something more.

It was Dinner and Logan and I already showed up in the cafeteria. Lately the girls were teasing us that we came in here later than them, we left early to prove them wrong.
It was kind of funny that we cared so much about it, well Logan is basically obsessed with Lola so that explains it.
I like both of them, Dani always grabs my attention and I don't know why. She's pretty, but not the type to stand out. She's not fake which explains it.
In a way she seems kind of shy or timid or something. But then, there are times you can crack her and get a real conversation out of her.
It's cute, wait..what am I saying?
"Oh my gosh." I heard her say and looked up to see Her standing there with Lola.
"You guys seriously got here early...?" Lola asked sitting close to Logan. He nodded smugly "Yeah, jealous babe?" He teased.
"Babe!?" Dani questioned. I started laughing with them, and we were giving them questioning looks.
"Come on..." Logan groaned and Lola blushed. We weren't giving them a break at this point.
"No, dude just ask her out." I told him with a smirk. His mouth dropped open like I just said something insane. "Don't worry, I can promise you, she'll say yes." Dani added on making Lola do the same face.
"Are you hearing this?" Lola said sarcastically. Logan shook his head and ate a bite of his food obviously trying to avoid conversation.
"Wait. So...are you like not gonna ask me out?" Lola asked putting her fork down, and crossing her arms. I snickered and Dani covered her mouth.
"What..?" Logan asked quietly. "Well, are you gonna ask me out or not? I'm tired of waiting." She said firmly. At that point Dani and I were cracking up.
She was so upfront and honest about it.
"Um....I don't know?" He said almost putting his head down. He was so embarrassed. Although I knew he wanted to ask her out...I'm surprised he wasn't ready for it.
"Waiting three weeks?" Dani questioned shaking her head. "Okay..I mean I could just move on..." Lola teased standing up.
"Wait no!" Logan said pulling her back to the table by the arm. "Lola, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked her.
"Nope." She said shaking her head. His mouth dropped open and she quickly added "I'm kidding! Yes." She said sitting back down.
"Awh!!" I cooed as Logan's face turned red and Lola smiled real big.
"You guys are goals." Dani joked, taking a sip of her bottle of water. I glanced over at her, her green eyes staring down at the table.
Maybe I was starting to notice something in Dani. My stomach twisted inside when she smiled.
No, I didn't want to get involved with something else.
