My Best Friend Logan

C5: Really, Brooke, Really?

I looked out of the window and watched as Jack left. He was clutching his shoulder and I couldn't help but smirk. "He fucking deserved that" I gritted my teeth "He can't force me to do shit"
"I agree, he can't, and what you did was great."
I sighed before replying "You should go too, Logan...sorry"
"No, no it's okay. I understand" he smiled and left the room.

I followed him downstairs and watched as he left my house. I stood in the door way and my eyes followed him down the street. I wanted an excuse to talk to him but what?

"Wait!" I shouted across at him. His head shot towards me and I instantly smiled as he made his way back over to me. "I'll see you tomorrow, best friend" a suprising warmth surrounded my body. My eyes widened as I realised Logan and I were really close. I shivered with slight tingles.

Why am I feeling like this...?

I cleared my throat and stood back.
"I'll see you" he gave me show stopping smile and turned on his heel, heading towards his car- did I mention it was a Ferrari 488? My favourite car? Well, now you know. I sighed. I just wanted him to be able to stay longer but my parents are coming back today. He drove away and I headed back inside.

I rested my head on the desk, exhausted from staying up until four in the morning texting Logan. I yawned and Ari looked at me. "It would be a good idea to sleep at night, hun" she giggled.
"I'll just close my eyes here..."
I sighed and sat up to see Logan chuckling at me from the opposite side of the classroom.
"What?" I mouthed
"How are you tired?" He signed towards me. I shrugged and stood up and walked over to him, a grin on my face.
"I'm just tired, that's all" I wrapped my arms around him. He turned around and kissed me, his arms holding me close. It felt so natural...

"Psssstttt, Brooke!" Arabella shook me "Wake up"
"huh?" I rubbed my eyes and looked around me to find I had fallen asleep.
"Asleep Miss Emerald?" a bunch of people sniggered behind me. I shot them a glare and they instantly stopped.

My own smirk appeared on my face and I turned back to Professor Gornwall.
"Stay behind after school" She said sternly and I instantly frowned, looking over to Logan who was silently laughing with a twinkle in his eyes.
A warm fluttery feeling crossed my stomach and I frowned further.

Why am I feeling like this? This weird bullshit...

I slid down in my seat and bit the end of my pen.

"Arabella come sit!" I shouted across the cafeteria. She looked at me and gave me a huge grin.
"Heyaaaaaa" She giggled and took a seat next to me, eyeing up one of the guys on the table opposite us.

"Who's that Ari?"
"Just some guy" she bit her bottom lip
"Just some guy?" I questioned
"Shit! They're coming over here!" She hissed and nudged me. A group of guys approached our table and one sat down in front of Ari.

"Hey there"
"H-hey Brian" she chuckled flirtily
"Ew you guys gross me" I looked at them, stood up and turned, only to crash into Logan. My heart sped up and I stood there, taken aback.

"Logan?"
"Hey..." he looked around to see if his friends were watching "Come with me". I followed him down the hallway for several minutes and ended up in the library.
"Why the heck are we here?" he ignored me and continued walking to section X where no one ever went.

Finally, he sat down on one of the bean bags and motioned me over. As I was walking over to him, I started feeling weird, like I was...nervous. Once I approached him, I leaned down to see what he was pointing at on his phone. His breath tingled in my ear and my stomach fluttered.

"...how does that sound?" he finished
"huh?"
"Were you listening to me at all?"
"sorry..." I trailed off and sighed, taking a step back.
"We are going to do some training tonight at my house"
"Your house? You mean the one you insisted on me not going to?"
"yeah...sorry about that it's just embarrassing when I've always been poor and then suddenly winning the lottery..." He scratched the back of his head, guilt washing over his face.
"It's fine, I don't mind. I just I wish I was embarrassed for that reason." I gave a small giggle and smiled.

The bell rung and I waved at him, leaving the library.
"Be there at six!" He shouted at me. I turned back, nodded and continued walking.

*****

"Three, two, one. Stop!" His whistle blew and I dropped to the floor, breathing in and out heavily.
"Good work" he hit my shoulder approvingly and I huffed, out of breath.
"Your turn now I guess" I wheezed, a small smile forming on my face. I was slowly recovering now and I sat up and watched him get into the position.

"Ready? Go!" I pressed start on the timer. Today's challenge was tough. We had to do push ups for three minutes without any stopping or resting.

After a few minutes he stopped and got up "Wow that was easier than you made it seem like" he chuckled only slightly out of breath.
"Not fair! You've been in the gang longer!" I whined playfully.
"Alright, Princess"
"...Princess...?" I looked at him, a huge tingle flowing through my body.
"You were acting like one- well... spoilt...you know?" he cleared his throat.
"Yeah- yeah...course" I smiled, masking my disappointment "I mean, we're just friends" the word friends stabbed me in the heart.

What the fuck is happening to me? I've never had this feeling before. Why does saying we're just friends make me feel upset?

"Best friends" he corrected "but I would understand if you have a crush on me, I'm irresistible" he chuckled jokingly.
"Oh Ha. Ha. Ha. You're hilarious" I rolled my eyes.
"I know" he shot me a gorgeous smile. His eyes were twinkling like the night sky and I froze, unable to speak.
"You alright?" he asked, very confused.
"I'm fine" I snapped out of my daze and walked over to grab my water bottle, drinking in huge gulps, trying to cover up my embarrassment.

I saw him in the corner of my eye take his shirt off and I spat out my water.
"Dude! This isn't exactly a place to spit!" his eyes narrowed.
"Sorry..."
"Are you sure you're OK? You don't seem yourself" He placed a hand on my shoulder and my whole body went crazy and then I realised something...

Oh. My. Fucking. God. I have a crush on Logan Johnston.
Really, Brooke, Really?
