It was a nice day,

The weather was warm.

Everything was back in bloom, nothing looked as dead as it did in the winter.

The trama bound teenagers decided they would use this day to their full advantage.


Logan becomes reminded of something, something that used to make him shutter in terror,

but now he feels as if he was able to escape the fear he once felt, and let new emotions emerge inside of him.


Logan's P.O.V


We were all at Aiden's house, because it was late June he claimed his pool was open, what better way to spend a hot afternoon than go swimming?

That's exactly what we did, Ben bought popsicles too.

Honestly, I haven't felt this much relief in a while. I know maybe I might seem weird for admiring my friends this much, but they deserve it.

Even if we are stuck in a horrible dimension at night, at least we have each other, with that we can manage.


Taking account of my friends, I realize that I like how we are now.


Right now.


In this moment, it's not hard to see that everybody is enjoying themselves, Taylor is laying face up in the water, Ashlyn is explaining to Ben how she did an intricate braid style into her hair, and of course—Tyler and Aiden were viciously hitting each other with Pool noodles.

Even though I wasn't interacting much, I was enjoying my time.


A little twinge of guilt hits me,

This will all end eventually, when we aren't kids anymore, or when we grow sick and tired of each other.

Growing up I was never treated that well, let that be with bullies, or with my parents before I started living with grandma and grandpa. So I've taught myself to just keep my head down, get through life, don't cause a scene.

But as of right now, looking at all these-seemly happy teenagers, I notice that my life was gonna suck until I did something about it.

And I did! The main reason I did was because of them though, I never liked change. However with these kids, I wouldn't mind growing, and changing with them.


I feel a big smile spread across my face,


"Logan!!" Taylor exclaims loudly, she was set up leaning into the brick lining of the pool edging the pavement, I laugh a little, she reminded me of that one Ariel pose.

Once she is aware she has my attention, she shouts over "PLEASE! Come in! Tyler and Aiden wanna have a pool noodle battle and I want you to be on my team!!" She gestures widely to the two boys waving there pool noodles in the hair at me.


As I take off my glasses, I think about how funny it is, that my life changed all because of them. Maybe at first it was bad - really, really bad- but now maybe it was for the good.


Breathing in the warm summer air, I take one big glance around the yard, enjoying each detail.

Maybe change can cause better than expected.
