Day 25

Lexi sat staring at her bedroom ceiling. What was she doing on this show? Shouldn't she have left too? Nah. But she was just living in this house. She didn't talk to anyone. Didn't make drama for the show. She was probably lucky she was still getting paid.

Lexi slowly sat up and looked down at her hands. Were any of the things Alex said true? Was she scared of commitment? Was Lexi?

Lexi stepped out of bed and got ready for the day. Perhaps she should start talking to people. Maybe that would give her a pay raise. But then again, all these people had their own lives. And she wasn't apart of them.

Logan strolled down the hall, towards the kitchen. Once she got to the end of it, she found Raven standing against the wall, next to the art.

Logan smirked to herself. How fun. Someone to pester.

"Well, hello, Raven."

Raven looked surprised. "Hello, Logan."

"What are you doing backed up against the wall?"

"Ah-,"

Logan spotted Brendon in the living room. Suddenly, it gave her an idea. He was better at flirting. No, she didn't like him, but it was all for fun anyway.

Logan quickly realized she had no idea what Raven just said. "Sorry, I have some business to attend to; see ya." Logan smiled and winked before turning away.

Hopefully Brendon was up for some lighthearted fun.

"Hey, Brendon."

Brendon turned away from Kirk and Carson to face Logan. "What?"

"We should go on a date."

Brendon stared at her for a moment. "Well boys, she's officially lost her mind." Carson and Kirk laughed.

Logan sighed in frustration. "Seriously. I just want to do something tonight."

"And of all the things, this is what you choose?"

"It could be fun. You have anything else you're doing?"

Brendon laughed. "I would rather stare at my phone screen tonight than look like an idiot."

"They're the same thing. One date. We're not in love. But we can still have a fun time."

"She just wants to look like she has a boyfriend," Kirk said. "It's Friday."

"Ah, what the heck; sure."

Logan was surprised. "Yeah? Cool." She then turned and walked away.

"Why would you agree to that?! Do you like her?!"

"Not at all." Brendon smirked. "But it's just 'one date'. I can pretend to like her that long."

Kirk and Carson looked confused. "I don't understand. What's the point?"

"Fun. She's not the only one that doesn't want to look single on a Friday night," Brendon shot a look at Carson.

Maddi sat eating her cereal. Hopefully Rene' wouldn't show up. Or Poppie. That would be the end of the world.

"Maddi, why do you look so sad?"

Maddi looked up at Brandon. "It's too embarrassing."

"...okay then. Sorry, whatever it is."

Maddi managed a smile. "Thanks, Brandon."

Brandon gave a quick nod then walked away.

Maddi sighed and looked down at her bowl. Why was she eating cereal in the middle of the day?!

Logan met Brendon at the front door. Before they walked out, they looked at each other for a moment. Neither knew what to say.

"This is a terrible idea." Brendon said.

"It's just for fun." Logan opened the door and shoved him out.

They walked down the sidewalk till they arrived at the nearest restaurant. It was quite nice, many decorations and fancy looking everything.

"Tonight, we're rich." Logan said.

"Just like every other night."

The two walked inside and soon found a table.

"So romantic," Brendon said. "This is where we're supposed to make elaborate plans for our future."

"Short plans." Logan picked up the menu.

"Logan, why ARE we here?"

"Honestly," Logan set the menu down. "I just wanted to play someone."

"I'd never fall for you."

Logan tilted her head. "Really? Even if I got desperate?"

"Especially not. Very unattractive."

"I'm trying to imagine you being desperate..."

Brendon scoffed. "Imagine away. I'm not going to magically change."

"I don't want you to. Ew, that sounded flirty."

"Oh, so flirting with me comes naturally?"

"Shut up, you know I don't like you."

"Do I though?" Brendon squinted at her. "Do YOU even know that?"

"You were right about this being a bad idea."

Brendon laughed. "Aw come on, this is fun."

"Alright, we can roast each other all night." Logan leaned forward slightly.

Brendon smirked. "Better than pretending to be together."

"That wouldn't work in a million years. Because you're just way too prideful."

"I'm sorry, is that supposed to be insulting? I just have a reason to be prideful. You on the other hand..." Brendon made a fake worried face.

Logan rolled her eyes. "You're lucky I understand what you're saying. You always phrase stuff weird."

"Are you just talking or roasting me? I can't tell."

Logan laughed. "You're trying hard."

"And you're not trying at all. Get a move on, Logan."
