Pumped-Up Kicks (A Logan Lerman Story)

Chapter 5

Telly's P.O.V
--------------------------------------------------
I hopped off Jace's bike and ran a lazy hand through my sleek staright strands. I took a deep breath before I walked up the pavement and rang the doorbell to Logan's house. What the hell am I doing here? I thought to myself. Not expecting anyone to be home I hung my head and took a half turn before I heard the door unlock. My eyes landed on a familiar face. I smiled and gave a small wave. Louis, Logan's older brother, smiled at me. "Tell-aye! Aren't you supposed to be in school?Is Logan behaving himself." Louis buzzed with much excitement.

"That's what I came over to talk about. I just came from school and I didn't know who better to go to." I exclaimed as I step into the cozy home. Louis lead the way to a newly renovated kitchen and tossed me a can of Pepsi. I took a seat on a barstool just as he leaned on the shiny granite countertop.

"Talk to me. What has my little bro done to make you upset. It's been 7 months." Louis pointed out. I sighed and took a swig from my Pepsi can. I told Louis about the whole fiasco, even what Logan told me not to. He wasn't in control of me. Louis facial expressions changed various times from a light grin to a disappointed scowl to a wide eyed shocked look. He nodded and pulled out his phone. What the hell..?

"What are you doing?" I asked with a hint of anger in my voice.

"Texting him. You should get back to school." Louis gave me a small smile and a reassuring flick of his eyebrows. I slid out of the barstool and nodded at his suggestion. I picked up my tote from the next chair over and left the house. I got back on Jace's bike and made my way back to school. I sprinted in the building and found my locker grabbing my 2nd period essentials. The bell rang and a flurry of bodies came from every direction. I made a path through the crowd as quickly as possible I didn't want to make another encounter. I already knew that he was scheming some diabolical plan right now. I shouldn't have told Louis. Oh well. I'm not afraid of Logan. Or am I? His grip from earlier really hurt. I crossed the threshold into math and sauntered toward Marissa.

"Hey girl! I heard what happened. I can't believe you stood up to him." Marissa talked barely getting the words out fast enough. I nodded agreeing with her statement. I slid into the desk and gave all my attention to her. "Have you been on Twitter lately?" She asked as her eyebrows knitted together. I shook my head no. " Remie tweeted that you were planning her sweet 16. The band, The food, The DJ, The playlist, everything!" I covered my face with my hands and groaned.

" I'm so royally fucked. I can't back out now! Everyone knows. If I screw this up... I actually have to do something with her. Marissa! What the hell am I going to do!" I shouted. I pulled my phone out of my bag and checked the screen.

1234567890: Hey Telly! I'm gonna come get you for lunch. We have much to discuss.

Me: Um sure that's fine...

1234567890: Great! Oh yeah its me Remie. Jason gave me your #

Me: Ok great. I'll see you soon

I exchanged a restless glance with Marissa. I couldn't focus on anything. I am in some trouble. This is some tucked up shit. Why Remie why? Logan that's why. My subconscious reminded me. I picked up my mechanical pencil and copied whatever techno- lingo was on the board.
Damn.
