Yuna Inspired: Our Virtual Family

047

After Victoria and Logan had finished their lunch, they walked to a park that was nearby their school. Passing by it, Victoria was even more depressed because it rubbed in her face that she'd be years away from Logan, and he'd be with someone else other than her.

Sensing the unhappy atmosphere, he began a light conversation with her as they walked. "So, what do you want to be?"

"A biochemist," she answered discouragingly. For once, she didn't hug his arm and stare at him as if he was a delicious plate of food.

Did I do something wrong? He had expected an attack from her. "Oh, that's great!"

"Thanks."

Just then, Logan's cell phone vibrated and right when he was about to see his text, Victoria grabbed it and threw it on the ground, breaking it.

"You're with me for the day, Logan! Is it too much to ask for just one day with you and not with anyone else?"

Logan stood there, shocked that this girl, who was usually so bright and whining, could have this kind of temperament. Well, when he thought about it carefully, it was possible since she was self-centered, and whining was just a symptom of it.

Victoria wanted to cry, but she was done with that. She had had enough of tears falling when she was at the restaurant reading those lovey-dovey-like text messages exchanged between him and Hana. She had always wanted a normal conversation with him but due to her absences because of her job and due to her problematic personality, she just couldn't hold one with him.

She was angry at herself.

"It's fine now." She turned around. Closing her eyes, she forced herself to say, "You can leave." As she was about to walk away, a hand pulled her back.

"Wait."

"What do you want now?" She freed her hand away. She didn't look at his face because she didn't want him to see her like this, something she believed not fitting for a model. "I've got a plane to catch."

"It's not until seven."

"We can take an early flight."

"Can we do one more thing?"

No. I don't want to do anything anymore with you...you're not even thinking about me. "W-What is it?"

"I'll be back," said Logan to Victoria.

He had brought Victoria to the theater, but the weird thing was they didn't need a ticket. He just led her into an auditorium and asked her to sit in the middle seat in the middle row. He also bought her a coke and a bucket of caramel popcorn, her favorites.

"Where are you going, Logan?"

"I-I need to use the bathroom." He gave her the smile she fell in love with.

Victoria nodded and stared at the screen as Logan left, however, she couldn't concentrate solely on the screen because the aroma of the popcorn beside her tempted her. But she refused to touch it as she needed to stay in shape for the next photoshoots to come. She wanted her body to be at its best. Knowing that she was going to lose the food war, she took out her cell phone and started to play a game so her mind would be off it.

After playing with her phone, she checked the time and realized that Logan had been gone for almost an hour. She hesitated about whether she'd go and try to find him or wait until he came. Soon, the lights dimmed down, and a film began to play. She placed her cell phone on her lap, screen face-down so that the light from her phone wouldn't reflect and bother anyone else. As she did that, another realization hit her.
