Broken Lies

Chapter One

~Logan's POV~

I sat down at our usual table with my two best friends, Estelle and Tess. Volleyball practice last night was brutal, and we all were sore. I had new bruises on my biceps from digging up ferocious hits. Estelle's usually pale skin was even paler, and she had black half circles under her eyes. Since she wasn't really one for makeup, she didn't even try to cover it up. Tess, of course, looked perfectly normal, dressed in a cute outfit. Makeup and hair done to perfection.

Damn, did that girl get any sleep?

"God, Tess, why do you have to one up us? We look like shit, and you're over there all fucking fabulous." Groaned Estelle, bringing her head down on the table, giving Tess a fake glare.

"Because I am fucking fabulous." Tess stated, flipping her hair.

"Did your mom tell you that?' Estelle asks, rolling her eyes obnoxiously.

"Aw, c'mon Stelle, we all know her mom wouldn't lie to her." I state, a smirk playing on my lips. Estelle started laughing, and Tess joined in. Which of course, made me join the posse. Yep, this was our friendship. All banter and playful insults. At least in public. We were all capable of getting pretty deep when we were alone together. We all overcame our sterotypes and were truly ourselves around each other. Estelle wasn't just the bitchy brainiac. Tess wasn't just the beautiful flirt. And I wasn't just the music-loving comedian. We were just. . .Ourselves.

Estelle may seem like she doesn't care about what people say, but in reality she does. She's a very emotional person who takes things to heart. At first she may come off as rude and that she practically hates you, but once you get to know her she's funny, makes the most hilarious facial expressions, and a very trustworthy person to be friends with.

Now Tess is a bit different than Estelle. Tess is more outgoing and loud while Estelle is more quiet. Tess is the type of friend you'd attend a party with. But Tess does have a serious side. Whenever I'm in a bad situation, Tess is there to help me out of it. These two are the greatest friends I could've ever asked for.

And then there's me. I'd say I'm a wee bit different than Estelle and Tess. For one, I'm probably the loudest in the group. Some may call me annoying, others may say I'm obnoxious, but that's fine by me. I'm not gonna change because I don't meet their standards. I'd have to say my weakest spot is confidence. I'm not a very confident person. I hate that I'm like that but I can't change it.

Anyways, after our laughter died down Tess gets a mischievous look on her face. "Oh god what is it now?" Estelle groaned.

"Well I was thinking and wouldn't Logan look good with Ashton?" Tess said smiling.

Estelle furrowed her eyebrows, "Ashton Irwin?" she asked. By now my cheeks were bright red.

"Yeah...awww she's blushing" Tess said poking my cheeks.

"I'm not blushing" I muttered.

"Then why're your cheeks red?" Estelle asked smirking at me.

" It's cold" was my pathetic excuse. Oh god I am the worst liar ever.

" LOGAN LIKES ASHTON!!!" Tess yelled. My eyes went wide and my face paled. " You little bitch!" I whisper yelled. Tess kept laughing.

I was about to slap her but then something caught my eye. I smiled evilly and mentally laughed. "Hey Zayn, come here!" I yelled as Zayn and Liam were walking bye. Tess instantly stopped laughing and glared at me.

"You wouldn't" she mouthed. I rolled my eyes at her a turned to look at Zayn, who was now standing beside me.

"Can I help you?" he asked a bit rudely, but I wasn't phased. Considering he's Estelle's cousin, we're sort of friends.

" Tess here wants to know if you'll go to our game tomorrow." I ask nonchalantly, avoiding Tess's gaze.

"Why?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.

I chuckled. " 'Cause Tess here has been dying for you to see her in spankies" I winked. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Tess's jaw dropping.

" Well since you two are acting quite childish, I'm gonna go find a good book to read." And with that Estelle grabbed her stuff and walked towards the library.

" I'll be there" Zayn smiles and winked at Tess while walking away.

Tess and I kept arguing for about ten minutes when Estelle came back with a small smile on her face. " Guess what I just heard." Estelle said.

" Umm... Luke secretly likes you?" I asked teasingly.

Estelle blushed and rolled her eyes. " As much as I wish that was true, your guess is wrong." She retorted.

" Well then tell us!" Tess said anxiously.

" Apparently we're gonna get three new guy students from the UK ."

"Ooh, are they cute?" Tess asked.

" I don't know, I haven't seen them yet." Estelle said, shrugging her broad shoulders.

" Well screw you than" Tess said as she punched Estelle on the shoulder.

" That's for leading me on." Tess exclaimed sassily. And the next thing I know Estelle and Tess are 'fighting' with each other.

"Guys! GUYS! Cut it out! Raise up your white flags and call a truce." I yelled.

Estelle instantly stops and looks at me. "Fine, but only because I love you." After that she blew me a kiss in which I pretended to slap away. Estelle gets a shocked look on her face. At first I thought it was because of me, but when I turned around I saw the three most gorgeous boys I've ever seen walking down the commons.
