Chapter 3: Stupid Bloody Secrets and Dimples

"NOAH! Stop eating the icing!" I yelled for the fifth time, whilst laughing at Noah picking at the icing on the cake. He turned around with a cheeky look on his face. 

"I didn't do anything!" he responded defensively.

"You are so guilty bro." Max laughed. Although it was more of a cackle.

"MAAAAXXXXXXXXX!" Emlyn yelled running at her and knocking her to the ground when he wrapped his arms around her to give her a hug.

"You just seen me today already." she laughed on the ground. I smiled to myself looking at everyone. I loved these guys so much. Jackson was standing in the doorway with an amused grin platered on his face. I decided to try and make conversation with him.

"Hi." I smiled walking over to him.

"Hi yourself, you not going to dance for them?" He asked smugly.

"I didn't know you were there!" i spoke giving him a light push. Seriously, i'd like to see him dance, see if he can do any better i laughed to myself.

"What's so funny?" he asked amused.

"Oh nothing, nothing." I replied smugly.

"GET.OFF.ME. YOU BIG OAF!" Max said trying to push Noah off of her with no success. Huh, when did that happen?

"I am not an Oaf, Maxxie-Poo." Noah answed teasingly.

"NOAH! Don't call me that! And get you big butt off of me!" Max yelled breathlessly, still trying to get her brother off her.

"Hey, can i ask you something?" I said, turning towards Jackson.

"Um, sure?" he answered unsure as to what i might ask him.

"Why do you never talk to me? I mean, apart from now, but that doesn't really count because i started the conversation. Did i do something to upset you one time and you can't get over it? Am i bad person, because i mean, i don't think i am. Do you hate me, i get the feeling that you don't exactly like me beacuse you have only ever spoken to me like once or twice and..." I rambled on.

"I don't hate you." he said, his face expressionless.

"Are you sure, coz i get the feeling that..." he cut me off again.

"Look, Logan just it drop ok? I don't hate you. Maybe one day you'll know about..." 

"About what?" I asked before he could finish what he was saying.

"It doesn't matter." Jackson said turning away from me slightly.

"Well obviously it does Jackson. I seem to be the only person who you never really acknowledge. You're fine with everyone else, but as soon as i'm around you just become this emmotionless brick wall that no one seems to be able to get to. Even if i am able to talk to you it's what for like 5 minutes or something and then you're back to this." i pronounced exasperated.

"Logan please," he pleaded. "Just drop it."

"Argh!" i huffed. Stupid bloody secrets! Why does no one ever tell me anything?!"

I could tell that if i wanted to talk to Jackson then i had to drop it and obviously talk about something else. I watched as Max, Noah and Emlyn were still mucking around, except now Noah was on the ground with Emlyn on him and Max on top of Emlyn. They were a human stack pack thingo, or whatever you call them.

"What can i call you?" I asked Jackson, changing the subject.

"Huh, what?" his asked, his attention back on me again.
