Felix hasn't spoken to me since our little tiff a day ago. He hasn't scoffed, mocked, glared, laughed or generally walked in my direction. Ever since I spoke about his eye contact with me, that has desisted. As if we never had an inclination that we knew each other.

It's quite laughable.

Lunch. The only time that I had to read my manga and eat food. Now, it's time spent with Lexi when she's here and Logan. I was able to set in motion our plan. Even though I am still annoyed with Logan's poor choice of lies, I have a goal to achieve. So of course I'll take every chance I have to give Logan subtle hints. However, Logan only nibbles and he definitely won't try what he did with Mila at her party.

I'm not sure if I should feel offended or if I should feel relieved. After thinking more about his situation and the audio recording, I've noticed that I've been feeling bitter.

He was all over Mila in that audio. Did he not feel that way about me? Am I not someone he'd want? Does he not care how this will hurt me? Why is he holding back?

Wait, do we want him to do something like that?

This is driving me insane!

I've done nothing but show interest. I've done everything I can to show that he should try to make a move. Perhaps I haven't done enough. Or perhaps I suck at seducing. It's never been a skill I needed to work on. It was the last thing on my list to even consider.

In manga it's all about how the guy feels. How they become enthralled by the main character. I used some tips from a few of them, but nothing is solid. Glances, compliments, touches and even flirtatious teasing has gotten me nowhere. What more can I do?

Logan had reached for my hand this morning, but hesitated. It's not that I won't hold his hands, even if they are a bit sweaty. I despise it, but this is step one in our plan. Maybe because it feels as if it's going too fast. The timing feels short between our riff, but I'm not sure what the expiration date is for our plan.

Isn't it when he falls in love with you?

I'm not sure if I'm qualified to know when someone falls in love. I would like to say I know what it is, but even I'm second guessing myself.

I remind myself about the USB. Why does he want it? If the article has to do with Felix, why would it be in Logan's possession in the first place? There is obviously some history between the two, but it's blurred. I can't see it even if it's staring straight at me.

Maybe ask Felix?

Felix wouldn't tell me a thing. He couldn't even admit that he was staring at me when he kissed Mila. That damn boy is a mystery to me even to this day. It's no wonder I've strayed away from him.

There has to be something I'm missing. Something that can help me crack this code.

That cracking will have to do with Logan.

Thanks to Lexi's pageants, I get the honor of eating with Logan alone today. I haven't eaten alone with him in a while. Plus our intimacy level isn't quite compatible. So I'm not sure how this lunch will go.
