Nerds With A Chance [A Logan Lerman Fanfic]

Chapter 14

“So… it’s official?”

I looked up at the tall, almost stick thin girl beside me. She was half-leaning, half-sitting on a cheap plastic desk, stirring a mug of instant coffee.

“I-I gue-“

I stopped myself, steeling my face, “Yeah.” I grinned at her, reconfirming for myself, “Yeah…”

She smiled. A small, barely, noticeable smile.

I returned it anyways.

This ‘she’ you might be surprised to find was in fact- Brianna. Yes, Brianna Foster.

The girl I had not-so-long-ago classified as the ridiculously tall girl, with the abnormally thin, long tan hair; the girl who didn’t seem to like me at all, and had a thing for making goo-goo eyes at Logan. The intern Milly had chosen.

I hadn’t been quick to judge her, because I hadn’t really hated her. Not like I did with Milly, and having come to terms with that- I dealt reasonably well with the cold disdain she had treated me with in return.

The whole ‘outside the warehouse, almost kissing Logan, with Brianna interrupting fiasco’ had been overlooked and I put it to my bipolar, temperamental self with not getting to actually kiss the guy.

Very frustrating indeed.

But ever since Logan and me had that whole scenario up at what we now called- Zogan’s Peak. (Gooey, cheesy stuff, right?) Things started smoothening out a little for me.

Logan still hadn’t related anything about the issue with Selina to me, though I couldn’t detect the problem anymore. Once I had actually accepted the fact I was officially dating Logan Lerman, things got easier with my self-esteem/confidence problems.

Yes, I was still I self-conscious, jealous bitch. But I was gradually learning to deal with Logan’s celebrity title and its not-so-nice side effects.

And Milly? I hadn’t had a proper encounter with her for days; and hell was I enjoying it.

There was only one thing left on our agenda of problems, and that was opening it to the public officially.

I stopped staring into space and looked at Brianna, who was really quite nice once Logan had explained to her the circumstances, “Though we still haven’t announced it publically.” I paused, smiling gently, “We’ve only told a couple of people.”

She beamed brightly. “Well, I’m glad you told me.”

In the least, I owed her a straight-out, frontal truth.  A crush will always remain a crush, it’ll still hurt however trivial and inaccessible that crush may be. You know?

It will always hurt one way or another.

“So Zeph? Are you going to tell them?”

‘Them’, as in the stupid press.

I pursed my lips, biting down on my bottom one. “Uh…”

I sighed, “To be honest, I haven’t really talked to Logan about it.”

She nodded, looking thoughtful. “I might not be the best person to give advice, but I do think you two should decide on it soon.”

I looked at her, brow furrowed.

Brianna jutted her chin out at the double doors leading out of the intern ‘rec-room’ thing. “I still think you should talk about it. You know it’s better to have a solid decision made, than getting it leaked by some stupid sneaking reporter…”
