4. So you think about me now?

I turned away quickly and focused on Cory sitting across from me, just pretend you’re talking to him I told myself “er, hi” I murmured. Ok so this really wasn’t helping to convince him that I wasn’t mentally challenged, I heard him laugh deeply as he sat down. I looked up to see Lori still in the queue and groaned mentally. And here was me thinking I only had to deal with Logan in class, I sat there silent still not trusting myself to speak like a normal person, Cory Jake and Logan began talking about the game this Friday and I zoned out. Sport and a clumsy person really don’t go together, I gazed out of the window and ignored the conversation going on beside me, even if I wanted to engage in the conversation I couldn’t, I really had no idea what they were going on about. I breathed a sigh of relief when Lori returned a few minutes later

“Oh hey Jake” she greeted cheerily as she reached our table “hi Logan” I blushed as she looked at me and winked. Please ground swallow me up now.

 “Hey Blondie” he said moving along the booth so she could sit down, why couldn’t we just go! Lori smiled happily and sat down next to Jake, I looked over just in time to see a jealous looking Cory glaring at him, probably bro code for ‘hands off’

“Did you guys want something?” Lori asked pointing back towards the queue, I shook my head at her quickly, no way was she leaving me here again

“I got it” Logan said moving to stand up I watched and sighed as he walked off leaving me to be comfortable again, Lori moved off her seat and came round to sit next to me

“hm nice butt” Lori said gazing after Logan, I laughed aloud at her bluntness even though I had to agree, I watched as Lori continued to check him out and ignored the feeling of jealousy that began to spread across me, was I actually jealous of Lori and Logan? I shook my head at myself, I know he’s the hottest thing since, well ever but even I could see he was bad news. Everyone at Eastwood did, he skipped classes, got in to fights, had serious anger issues and from what I could tell severe mood swings, he got away with everything, I suppose that was due to his charm as well as his 4.0 grade average. Outside of school God knows what he got up to, I wouldn’t like to think about it.

“I’m just going to the bathroom”  I said to Lori as I slid out of my seat, she nodded and then moved along to join Jake and Cory’s conversation, probably about hot girls or football again.

I walked over to the ladies bathroom and ignored Logan’s gaze on me as I walked past him getting drinks, I knew if I looked at him I would take my attention off walking and probably bang in to a wall or fall in to a bin, I think I have had my fair share of embarrassment today. When I was out of Logan’s sight and safely down the hallway in to the bathroom I splashed some water on my face, I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed in annoyance, why did I even bother with my hair? I ran my hands through it a few times hoping for a miracle, after messing with it for a few minutes I finally realised this was the best it was going to get, I would just have to stick with having hair like a toilet brush. Ok so not quite that bad, usually my long hair was quite well behaved, just typical the one day I need it to look half decent it decides to mess itself up. I groaned loudly and walked out the door that led to the hallway before you entered the actual diner. I began humming a song that had been stuck in my head all day until loud voices caught my attention, I turned to the left and gasped. I quickly covered my mouth but it was too late they had already seen me.

Logan’s blue eyes stared in to mine coldly as he loosened his grip on the guy who was still pinned against the wall, I noticed blood coming from his nose but stayed frozen where I was, that had to hurt.

“You get it now?” Logan said turning his attention back to the guy, he said it like a question but I knew it was a threat, I saw the boy nod reluctantly “good, now leave” he snarled

I watched as the guy ran down the other end of the hallway and then looked back up at Logan who was now leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. Oh god Maddie leave! I willed my feet to move so I could go back to Cory and Lori but they stayed put like they were welded to the floor

“Who was that?” I asked as I approached him, I knew I should have been going the other way but my legs were moving by their self. He looked at me suddenly as if just remembering I was still here

“No one” he replied emotionless, I thought back to earlier and remembered his sudden mood changes, if he thought I was going to fall for that he really was stupid, I scoffed and his head shot up “stay out of this Madison”

“No” I said discovering some confidence I didn’t know I had “who was that?” I said sounding out every single word, I was stood beside him now and there was no way he was leaving here without giving me any answers

“just some tool from West High” he replied shrugging his shoulders, I raised my eyebrows at him but he stood in front of me making me look directly at him “it was really, I’m not lying, no major gossip or anything” I felt myself begin to smile and quickly looked away, what was I doing? This is Logan Carter! Badass and the good girl? It just sounded like some cliché rom-com, it doesn’t happen in real life, stuff like that never does, well it never happens to me. “What are you thinking about?” he asked me quietly after a few minutes of silence

“Why I never even thought about you before” I answered honestly, I saw that all too familiar smirk play across his lips and that twinkle in his eye

“So you think about me now?” he asked smirking even wider

“I never said that” I replied praying that just this once I wouldn’t turn redder than a tomato. I groaned internally as I felt my cheeks begin to burn, damn, I am not having much luck today. I heard him chuckle as he placed his arms either side of me resting against the wall “what are you thinking?” I asked back, he leant back suddenly and the sparkle in his eyes disappeared along with his playful expression which had now turned back to being cold and emotionless

“I’m thinking you should stay out of my business” he said finally making me flinch back in to the wall

“And what if I don’t want to?” when the hell had I got this confident around him? There was just something about him that intrigued me, I guess it’s what they always say about girls and bad boys

“I’m serious Madison” he replied looking at me with his jaw tight “stay out of this” I don’t know if he was trying to scare me or not, it worked either way. He could scare me yet make me feel relaxed all at the same time, I didn’t know him but I knew he wasn’t the type to beat a girl. I let out a laugh and looked back at his surprised face

“What are you going to do?” I asked “hit me?” I rolled my eyes just as he grabbed me and shoved me back against the wall roughly, it didn’t hurt but my breath caught in my throat at his sudden movement. I kept my mouth shut as he looked in to my eyes like he could see right through me, his blue eyes glistened and I searched for the sparkle that was there before. I let out a shaky breath and shook my head, they were empty and cold, I knew then his mood had changed, I mean really what was I even expecting? Him to sit down with some coffee and tell me his life story? I don’t think so

“see you around” he said still close to my face, I felt his warm minty breath blow across my face and then he had gone, walking back in to the diner leaving me standing there blushing like a maniac. I let out a quiet groan in annoyance once he had walked out of the door. I really hated that boy.
