"Shortcake"

-2-

" Thanks, shortcake. "

" Shortcake "? Who the hell calls a girl shortcake? Or, maybe I'm just a shy urchin lurking in the deep darkness of the ocean and have no idea that guys actually call girls that. Or, maybe they don't and he is really bad at making friends, as well as talking to girls! It could go both ways, honestly.

" Did you just call me shortcake?" I ask him as we're walking around the halls. I'm supposed to be showing him around, but there are signs for every single room, so it's pretty self-explanatory.

" Yeah, so what?"

" "So what"? What do you mean by that? I'm not even short! In fact, mister bad at making friends, according to recent studies, a girl my age is average height."

He chuckles. " You sure about that, uh... Logan?"

I stop. Either this guy is an old friend that I really don't recall at all, or he's a total creep!

" How do you know my name?"

" Because your name is on all of your notebooks."

" Oh. " I feel so stupid. I mean, people see my name all the time! I'm the one who put my name on the notebooks! Why am I getting so nervous around him? Could I.. have a crush?

" Uh... Shortcake? You ok?"

" H-huh?! Oh, yeah. I'm fine"

" Fight! Fight! Fight!"

" Go get em'! C'mon, Let's go!"

" Huh? What's going on, shortie?"

" I... I don't know. And have you moved on to shortie? That's much better than shortcake."

" Huh? Oh, no. I haven't. That's just the other one in case I don't feel like calling you your main name." 

" Oh, great."

" I know, right? I'm so nice."

" Sure. Also, you haven't told me your name yet."

" Huh? Oh. Well, in that case, it's Noel. Noel Green."

" Green? Like, famous writers, Green?"

" Yeah. Why"

" I think I'm in love with you. I love your mother's books!"

" Heh... yeah, well... I can try to get you one if you want."

" Really, oh, thank you! "

" No prob-"

" Logan!" 

I feel myself on the ground, and my entire head hurts. People are yelling and screaming, in a freaking out kind of way. I think I just got punched, but I'm not sure. Then I realized. There was a fight going on earlier when Noel and I were talking, trying to get past the crowd. I feel like I'm going to pass out. Before I blacked out, all I heard was,

" Logan! Are you ok! Logan! Please wake up! Let's get you to the nurse. I'll carry you. Huh... C'mon, cutie. Let's get you fixed up." 

When the strange voice stopped talking, I realized it was Noel's. He was carrying me to the nurse.  Honestly, I think I like him. A lot. I just wish I would have been awake to tell him how I really feel.

This was a little bit longer I guess..... Sorry... Still trying to get motivated. Anyway, I hope you guys are looking forward to chapter three! Bye guys! Foxy OUT.
