The Start of Something New

Chapter 3

Writing? Writing! As if I couldn't get any more lucky! "Oh wow, that's great!" I said, "I'm actually going to be majoring in journalism."

"Oh, that's awesome. I was thinking of doing the same and possibly minoring in music."

"I was leaning more towards the music area." I said, "I've always wanted to play the cello."

"I can play guitar and piano, and i love it!" He had a content smile on his face. "So what brings you here, are you visiting a friend or--"

"--Oh I actually live right across the hall, I'm on my lunch break from school. I have about and hour and a half left, do you want any help?

"Sure, that would be great, actually. Come on in, the movers should be bringing my couches and bed up soon."

Not long after I began to help unbox movies and put them neatly, and in alphabetical order, on some shelves he brought with, the movers came in with the couch, and the love-seat.They looked really soft. While the movers left to go get the bed, Logan and I talked about movies, and actors.

"Favorite horror series, GO!" He said.

"Oh most definitely Scream. I,think Nev Campbell is great. By a long shot. You?"

He pondered for a moment before answering, "Hmmm...I'd have to say Halloween, because Jamie Lee Curtis is just awesome, but also because I love the storylimne...but I do have to admit it does get a little drawn out."

I nodded in agreement. Who knew he'd be so easy to get along with? I've only ever seen him on TV  and now he's moving in across the hall, and I'm talking to him like I've known him for years. I looked around, the walls were a beige color that matched the furniture, and the trim on both were the same.

       The movers came back up with the bed and brought it back to the one bedroom. We followed them in and Logan instructed them as to how he wanted the bed to be placed. He had it settled and made up nicely in a corner against the walls.

"Well thats the last of it!" he said. "SO happy thats over. and I'm all unpacked in less than 24 hours."

     A smug smile crossed his face as if he had accomplished something. I looked at the clock on my phone; it read 1:45PM. I had to get back to the school for my last class.

"Hey, so...um...I have to go back to class. So...I'll see you later?"

"Oh yeah!" he said, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "You're the first and only friend I've made since I've been here. I need something to do tonight.  I'm making myself dinner but if you want, I can make an extra serving."

"That would be nice." I said. "What are you gonna make?"

"Lasagna. It's one of my favorites."

"Mine too." I peeked at my clock again, 1:48, I need to get back. "It was nice to finally meet you." I shook his hand which was slightly larger than mine, and his fingers were slender. "I'll see you in a couple hours."

"It was great to meet you too-- uh...um..."

"Danny!" I said. HOW COULD I HAVE FORGOTTEN TO INTRODUCE MYSELF? HE JUST SPENT OVER AN HOUR WITH A PERSON WHICH HE DIDN'T KNOW THE NAME OF! How could i have been so stupid?!

"Danny..." My name rolled off his tongue, and suddenly it seemed foreign to me. "Okay, Danny, I'll be waiting"
