Logan

Thirteen

When she woke up, her back was touching Logan's and she quickly got up, opened the window letting all the light in and shouted: «RISE AND SHINE, LOGAN»
He opened his eyes and remained right where he was. «What are we doing today?» he asked.
«Well I kind of have to finish my homework, so try and be useful.» she said joking. «Come on, get up.»
He got up. «Oh, do you want to wear the clothes you gave me last time?» she asked opening the closet. «I'm going to wash the ones you gave me yesterday and even those,» she pointed the ones he was wearing the previous day. «And then give them back to you next time.»
«Sure» he said. «Thanks»
She gave him his clothes and he wore them. «Did you give them your perfume?»
«No, but they stayed in my closet for weeks, so» she answered dressing up. «Do you mind?»
«No»
They had breakfast and then brushed their teeth. After that, she got out her books and Logan helped her studying.
He studied the same things three years before so he was still kind of useful.
When the other girls woke up, they had breakfast on the same table they were studying and they were trying to be nosey but Cristina was determined to finish her homework.
The only break they had was to have lunch with the other girls and then they went back on her books and, with Logan's help, she finished everything for that week earlier than usual.
«Thank you.» she said putting her books back on the shelves in her room.
«No problem,» he said. «Wait, you're sixteen, right?»
«Yup» she said sitting on her bed.
«Then why are you in college this early?» he asked.
«Long story, when I was in Italy I graduated earlier and now I'm in college.» she answered.
«Ok, what are we doing now?»
«Well, I usually get bored for the rest of the day, but if you have any better ideas, go with them.»
«Do you... want to go shopping?» he asked.
«No, but... we could have a walk in town.»
«Are we taking my car?» he asked.
«Sure.»
They got out of her room and Cristina asked to the other girls: «We are going and have a walk in the centre, anyone wants to come with us?»
They all used the excuse that they had homework to do to leave them alone so they went out and got in his car.
«Are you doing good at school?» Logan asked her.
«Yeah, I could do better but the year is almost over, so who cares.»
«You should take this seriously if we're going to have a baby.»
«No please, don't even start.»
«But I have to worry about what we are going to do»
«As we should,» she agreed. «But I don't want to think about it until my belly is as big as a house»
«When should it be birth?» he asked.
She thought a little and then replied: «Half month of January»
«Sounds fine» he replied.
«Can we bet?» she asked.
«On what?»
«On the baby.» she said. «I bet it's going to be the morning of the last days of December, and it's going to be two twins.»
«Are you seriously hoping for two babies instead of one?» he said astonished.
«But twins are adorable.» Logan laughed. «What?»
«No sorry, I thought of those friends of mine that are twins.» he replied. «Not adorable at all.»
«Oh come on» she laughed. «Do your bet.»
«Twenty-third of January, a boy.»
«Why do boys always hope for boys?» she asked.
«I don't know, I don't really feel like I would know how to raise a girl» he answered. «I could try, but I don't know now.»
«I don't even know how to raise a pet, how do you expect me to raise two babies.» she said.
«One»
«We'll see.»
«Here we are» he said. He parked and the walked through the center of the city. «Would you want me to take your hand?»
«Do you want to take my hand?» she asked back.
«Do I want to take your hand?»
She tried not to laugh. «Do you have what it takes to take my hand?»
«Do I have what it takes?» he went on.
She laughed. «Careful not to catch feelings» she joked grabbing his hand.
«Don't worry, I won't» he said.
She laughed even tho that wasn't a cute joke and they kept walking and talking.
They went back to her house to have dinner with the other girls and then he left.
«Is he your boyfriend?» Asma asked.
«Not really» she answered.
«Are you going to tell us what is going on, hun?» asked then Nikki.
«Sure... next time»
