Part I

The next morning I avoid Logan completely. I don't want to risk those pictures coming out from their hiding place. I haven't even shown them to Sophia yet.

I know it may not seem like much, to a normal person those pictures may not be that bad, but they are to me. While I am a little embarrassed about the pictures, I'm mostly upset because they are private and I feel violated knowing that someone was there spying on us during those vulnerable moments.

I guess it was more or so her spying on him and I just happened to be there. Either way she's psychotic and she needs help. I mean she followed him to the club, that's obsessive.

But If those pictures got out it would completely destroy me as a person and who I present myself as. I'm already struggling with myself and my feelings as it is, I can't deal with this too. I don't want people to see me as someone I'm not.

I know that I can't avoid Logan forever, especially because we're partners, but I need a few days to figure out how the hell I'm going to get those pictures from Crystal. I really don't want to ask Logan for help, I will if I absolutely have to, but I'm hoping I can figure this out on my own.

After school I quickly hurry into the locker room. I don't even wait to walk with Sophia because most of the time the football players and cheerleaders end up walking to the locker rooms together out of coincidence and she of course stops to chat with Austin and he walks with Logan.

It's not a huge deal.

But today it feels like it.

"Why did you run so fast into the locker room?" Sophia asks approaching me with urgency.

"Uhh...I had to pee?" I lie still holding onto all of my stuff. I guess when she saw me rush in like a demon was chasing me, she followed me. Probably out of concern.

I don't want to lie but I don't want to explain to her the real reason, mostly because I know she is gonna tell me to talk to Logan. But I am perfectly capable of handling this on my own.

I think.

"Really?" she says narrowing her eyes and stepping closer to me. "Because you haven't even used the bathroom"

So much for that lie.She always sees right through me anyways. I sigh sitting all my bags down on the bench. "I'll tell you after practice"


"Ohhh so you are avoiding Logan so that red head won't leak pictures of you and him having sex with clothes on" she chuckles when I show her the pictures after practice.

"Shut up Soph, it's not funny!" I whine hitting her with my towel.

"Fine okay sorry" she laughs trying to dodge my towel but failing as it hits her on her arm. "Why are you so embarrassed of those pictures anyway? They aren't that bad"

"Because they are really private and people don't see me as the type of person to do those kinds of things. If they get out people will look at me differently and I like my reputation" I sit down and put my hands over my face. "What do I do Soph?" I mumble into my hands. "I've never been blackmailed before"

She sits down and wraps her arm around me. "You know the first thing you should do?" she asks. I look up waiting for her answer. "Tell Logan"

I groan putting my face back in my hands but I know she's right. I just don't want her to be.

"He's probably gone by now" I say trying to make an excuse.

"Nope. Him, Austin, and some of the other guys are still outside throwing the ball around"
