If You Be My Star

Leslie: Keeping Cool

Bre waved us over with an eager expression, so we picked up our paces. When we reached them she had this look...this mischievous look as if she planned our meeting like this.
"Leslie, this is Logan," she looked from me to him. "Logan; Leslie." She was smiling now.
"Uh, Bre, you forgot someone." I pointed to Thaddeus with my thumb.
"Oh! Sorry, Thadd. Logan this is Thaddeus."
They gave a subtle 'sup with their brows and we were off. Bre was catching up with Thaddeus beside us when Logan stepped over to me and said hey. He was trying to start a conversation.
"So, you and Bre seem pretty close." He asked more than stated. At that moment the doors to the cafeteria opened and that Bianca girl walked in. I saw Thaddeus look over, but when he noticed who it was he held his gaze a little longer. She walked over to a bunch of girls and they exchanged friendly waves. I remembered that Logan asked me something and immediately responded.
"Yeah, we were best friends back in elementary. We kind of share the same birthdays. Been friends since kindergarten." I tried not to sound boastful.
"Sweet." He said with a velvety tone that made him seem interested.
I felt the awkward slowly creeping in and god forbid I let it ruin the moment, so I sucked it up and continued the conversation.
"How about you? Bre seems to know you pretty well." I asked keeping my cool...ish.
He looked at me and gave a much more innocent smile.
"Well, Bre and I became friends in the third grade when she was transfered into our class." He was chill.
I heard the doors open a second time. This time it was..
"Eren." I must've whispered a little too loudly because Logan looked back and was waving at him to come over.
Oh, great. Just my luck. He's friends with Logan.
He stopped just beside me and they did the whole "dude to dude handshake" that apparently every guy knows.
He looked over to me and smiled.
"Hey, Leslie."
