Me and Blake Weatherly

Chapter 40

Um, hey guys. I just want to say I'm stretching the story out a little further. I'm just not ready for it to end yet! Anyway, I just want to let you guys know that I'm thankful for the readers and comments and votes and all of that.

What will happen in the story will probably frustrate, confuse, and wear you guys out. But I want you to know that you'll have to bear with the story. After all, drama is the fuel that keeps a great story going! It will be a lot of confusion between all of them, and so many secrets will be kept. But that's a little later into the story. I have most of what I want to write planned out, which means I'll probably post more often since I have it mentally figured out. I'm thinking they will all go on some huge trip as friends after graduation. They'd expect that it will go great and drama-free, but as always...things never work out that way. There'll be a lot tears, criticising, secrets, confessions, new enemies, and everything and I can't wait for you guys to read it once I post it! For right now, just bear with me and the story. I promise it'll be worth it.

(:

Original POV: Denny

"How did the online interview with Duke go?" I asked Blake as he walked into school with a smile on his face.

"It went good. I feel confident about it." He told me, snaking his arm around my waist. I smiled up at him. It was Monday again, and the weekend flew by really fast. As happy as I am to say this, I found Erica's sudden share of happiness strange. But still, I'm happy that she got over the break up! Ryan called me on Saturday night, about how he saw her at the arcade and quickly left with his friends. He explained that he 'just couldn't face her', and I didn't know if I wanted to feel sorry for him, or Erica, or just...both of them.

"I think you two are so cute together!" Erica randomly exclaimed, picking at a bunch of nuts that she had in a ziploc bag and then throwing them into her mouth. I gave her a weirded out smile, but Blake just grinned at her.

I smiled at him again, "Anyway, I think we should-"

"What's up, sluts and douches?" Logan asked aloud. I sighed, sort of fed up that Blake and I weren't really getting alone time. But hey, this is school. 

Ein raised an eyebrow at Logan and went back to doing his homework that he was supposed to do over the weekend. Elaine was doing the same, except he was studying for a different class. Erica had slowly started to smile at Logan, and he quickly glanced at her and looked away.

"So, um, what are you nerds studying?" Logan asked both Ein and Elaine, trying to forget about the awkward glance.

"Physics." Ein answered straight forwardly.

"I totally bombed that Chemistry test. I'm trying to study so I can retake it before report cards come out." Elaine said openly. I stared at him. I still wasn't saying a word to him, and I don't plan to, either.

"Report cards don't come out for another month and a half," Logan snorted out.

"Yeah, but better soon than late." Elaine told him. Logan rolled his eyes and while Erica was now sketching on her sketch pad, I noticed Logan slowly watching her. I raised an eyebrow. The bell had rung, and I glanced at Blake, who smiled at me.

"I'll walk you to class." He said softly, taking me away from everyone. This is just what I needed...some time with him. With no friends, no enemies, or anything. I still had on that same face expression, sort of weirded out on how Logan was secretly observing my best friend. "Denny, what's wrong?" Blake asked.
