_____________________________________________________________________________

Before there were tears, heart ache, extreme confusion, and the hard decisions that could potentially rip friendships apart, there was just us, the two best friends the world could have possible known. It was Zoe and Logan verses the world; the auburn and blonde besties fighting evil side by side. No one could've ever predicted what our future would hold, or the outcome of it all. 

We met in the first grade when the two of us were paired to put a barbie puzzle together. When we won the candy prize for putting the pieces together the fastest, we just stuck with each other ever since. We'd been inseperable; always able to count on each other and talk about anything. Back then things were easy. There were no outside forces to fight against, no bitchy girls to worry about...it was simple. 

In middle school, things started to change, I'd gotten a boyfriend and so had she, we were still close, but it was no longer just us anymore. We'd branched out and gathered a group of friends that we could trust and so we became the musketeers; looking for adventure until the day we died. 

In eigth grade we had a blast with the dances and the graduation, everything was perfect. But freshman year hit, and it hit hard. Over the summer our group of friends grew apart and it was back to being just the two of us. But we'd both gone through a summer full of changes including, longer legs, bigger boobs, more confidence, and new attitudes. And in spite of that we still stayed friends. We dealt with all the crap the upper classman gave us and we dealt with the unwelcome hostilities that any freshman would face, that is until we admitted an extra face to our duo, a face that we'd get used to seeing around much more often. Sloane Baxter would be the newby that would eventually cause the both of us the most happiness and pain, but not exactly in that specific order.

After winter break is when the new students always come in. And I'm guessing most of you won't be too surprised to find that our dear old Sloane Baxter was among them. He was invincible; every girls dream. He had it all, the broad chest, strong arms, tan skin, dazzling smile, dark hair, and blue eyes...his perfect Persian blue eyes. Which is why both Logan and I were so confused as to why he eventually chose to stick around with us. 

He could have any girl he wanted, the guys held strong opinions of him, and yet he still decided that we were better than all of that and I to this day question his decision. I mean was our friendship that important to him? In all actuality, probably not because we caused him so many uneccessary problems. But he must've seen something worth fighting for in us, because nothing we said to try to persuade him mattered. So it became Zoe, Logan, and Sloane verses the world.

But knowing my luck, it wasn't long until there was trouble in paradise. While both Logan and I had strongly denied our feelings towards whether or not Sloane was good or bad for our friendship, it soon became obvious that if we wanted it to last, we'd have to just tough it out and push through the rough spots. 

By the time the end of freshman year rolled around, Sloane had decided to stay friends with us, but get a girlfriend...or should I say girlfriends. One thing Sloane wasn't, was shy, in fact he was very friendly. And I use the passed tense for a reason. He used to be friendly with every girl he met, outside of me or Logan. He flirt with each and everyone of them that laid eyes on him, some of the guys might've even turned for him.

It was to the point that Logan and I were about to sit him down and tell him to cool it. Until he met Lily. She was perfect in all ways another girl could be possibly jealous of. Her hair was auburn and  gorgeous, her eyes never looked sad, she was in almost every club, she played volleyball, and she was so nice and outgoing it was impossible not to love her. But I guess it's true, that saying they have; "the prettiest eyes hide the most pain"; because around four months after they'd started dating, an ambulance was sitting outside of her house for several hours and a woman's sobbing echoed through the neighborhood. The next day at school a large photo of her was posted in the middle of campus with a banner reading You will be missed Lily. It was unbelievable that something like that could happen to a person so close to home. After that, Sloane stopped talking to a lot of people. He started to slink around and he wouldn't sleep, it was like when Lily died, she took the good parts of him with her. No one knew about her depression and the real state of her mental health, but by the time her parents did find out, it was too late. Sloane never knew anything about it, Lily was too good of an actress. By the time she met him, she'd already been acting for so long, that she couldn't bring herself to speak the truth, even to someone she loved.

=================================

When that summer came, he started revertting back to the old him and his playful side started showing again, but everything he did was guarded. Like he had a wall up that was impossible to break down. But who could blame him, the girl he supposedly loved, had commited suicide and he never had a clue what she was really thinking.

And as you can probably tell, Sloane's story doesn't end there, and part of the three of our's future is still yet to be written.

A/N

So far this is just background info to get the ball rolling but who do you think would make a better Sloane; Alex Pettyfer, Logan Lerman, or Aaron Johnson (when he looks like he did in angus,thongs, and perfect snogging)?
