Last month of high school and exactly three months until I move. I can't believe my senior year is almost over. All that is left is exams, grad, and prom.
I lay in bed trying to grasp the fact that my childhood is almost over, there's a knock on my door followed by my mom's voice. "Logan if you don't get out of bed soon, you're not going to have time for a shower before Jordan gets here." How long have I been laying here? I check the time, 6:45 am Crap.
When I finally get out of bed, I decide to skip the shower and go straight to the coffee. When I get to the kitchen Lex is talking about her birthday. "I can't believe that I'm going to be able to drive myself around soon," Lex says in an overly cheerful voice. I love Lex but her and Dani are over cheerful. "Logan your up! I've been meaning to ask you, have you picked a date yet?" Lex asks. Me and Jordan decided to tell our families that we aren't waiting until after college to get married last week. "Not yet, in July TWO years from now," I say. As my mom is trying to convince me that I'll be too busy in college to plan a wedding so I should just let her. Laura, Lex, and Dani plan everything, there's a knock on the front door. "I should get that its either Jordan or Jake," I say. When I open the door it's both. I'm finally saved. "Thank god you're here!" I say and warn Jordan that my mom is trying to convince me to let her plan the wedding again.
On the drive to school, me and Jordan talk about the wedding. The only time I actually enjoy talking about it is when Jordan and I are alone. "I was thinking early July that way it's not too close to Dani's birthday," I suggest. "It's up to you, I'll be happy with anything as long as I'm marrying you," Jordan says with a smile. God, he's good. "One thing we do have to decide on is where," I tell him. "Well you promised your, mom and Lex, that you would come back every summer for at least a month right, so why don't we just have it here." He says as we get to school.
It's kind of weird being engaged while in high school. Some people thought we got engaged because I was pregnant, mainly Alexis.
I get out of the car and walk over to Jade, Lacy, and Dani. "Logan, Jordan!" Dani says. I can tell by her voice she wants something. "Did Lilly talk to you yet this morning-," Dani starts but I cut her off. "You guys can help, but no matter how much you all bug, you guys aren't planning the whole thing," I say. Dani fake pouts for a second. Just as we are about to walk into the school we see Rachel and Jake.
They are standing on the other side of the parking lot. Rachel's arms are around Jakes's neck. Where is Lex? Does she know about this? They can't be fighting he literally just pick her up at the house. I text Lex. *Where are you and why does Rachel have her arms around Jake. * Within seconds she texts me back *WHAT* Now I know for sure this is wrong. Before I even have time to think about what I'm doing, I'm halfway across the parking lot.
"Seriously, you want to be Lex that bad you have to go after everyone she dates. Well here's a little tip for you. Lex isn't a slut." I scream. "Wow Logan calm down," Jake tries but I don't care what he has to say right now. "There are close to 200 guys at this school, go find one that isn't dating my sister!" I yell again. Now half the school has gathered to see what was going on. "Listen Logan I don't know who you think you are but NO ONE talks to me like that!" Rachel yells back at me and raises her hand to hit me but before she gets the chance, Lex and Alexis show up. Lex surprises everyone by punching Rachel in the nose. Before anyone else says anything, Jake and Jordan pull us away.
Once are a safe distance away; Jake looks at Lex. "What the hell was that Lex?" Jake asks. "I should be saying the same to you, I wasn't the one with Rachel's arms around me" Lex yells. Oh no, another fight. "Okay everyone calms down," I say as Lacy, Jade, Dani, and Alexis walk up. "Oh my god Lex, that was awesome!" Dani and Alexis say at the same time. "My mom is not going to be pleased but I'm glad Rachel finally got what she deserves!" Lacy says. Crap, if Lacy's mom finds out, my mom will find out. "Mom is going to flip!" I say in a panic. "Oh no," Lex's face changes for happy to scared. "She's going to kill me," Lex says equally as panicked. "Let's just go to class and act as nothing happened, the last thing you need is to be late on the same day you started fighting," I say and we all head off to class.
I spent all day worried I would get called down to the office, but I never did. When the final bell rings, Lex meets me and Jordan at his car and asks if we can give her a ride. She's still mad at Jake so she doesn't want him to drive her.
Mom is waiting for us with her hands on her hips. She's mad, we can tell. "I got a very interesting call from Karen today," she says. Crap she knows. "You are lucky we are friends with the Yen's or you could have been suspended, or if Rachel would have reported it to her she wouldn't have had a choice," Mom says. She sounds disappointed which is worst then her being angry. "So, Karen knows but Rachel didn't tell her," I ask, I don't know how she would have known if Rachel didn't say anything. "Yes, she needed something from her car and saw Lex hit her, but by the time she got close enough to do anything, Jake and Jordan had pulled you two away. I want to know everything that happened" Mom said
After we explain to mom everything that happened with Jake and Rachel and even earlier with Rachel and Ben and pretty much everyone that Lex has ever dated, and how Rachel was going to hit me until Lex stepped in. Mom is still upset but not nearly as much as she was when we first got home and she said she's still going to have a talk with our dad about it when he gets home.
Me and Lex head upstairs to my room. "I thought mom was going to kill us!" Lex says as soon as my bedroom door is shut. "So, did I!" I say. "Imagine getting ground for your first time at 18! That would suck!" Lex says well laughing at the thought. I don't even know if I know how to be grounded.
Luckily for us, Dad was actually proud of us for sticking up for each other and told us to be more careful next time so we don't get caught. Since Dad has been around more, he's actually pretty cool, I never noticed before because he was never around.
After supper, I go to my room to call Jordan. We talk on the phone for a couple of hours. I tell him everything my mom and dad said. We both laugh about my dad telling Lex and me not to get caught next time. By the time Jordan and I get off the phone it almost midnight.
*Lexus' Birthday*
Lex's birthday is huge! We have a pool party in our back yard. Just before the party is over, we hear a horn honking coming from the front of the house. We all rush to the front. There is a brand new hot pink Mazda 3 with and black bow on it. Lex literally starts crying. I'm truly happy for her, but I think this means my parents will bring me my car.
After Lex's birthday, Lex, Jake, and Alexis go for a drive. My dad and I sit on the couch watching a doctor, my dad loves doctor shows because he loves pointing out their mistakes. "You know Logan one day in the not so far future you're going to be able to do this too," He says as he points out yet another thing the writers of the show got wrong. "So, since Lex got a new car does that mean you or mom are going to drive my car to me?" I ask hopefully. "Yes, we saw the distance from your apartment to the University, and the grocery store, and realized one of you will definitely need a car." He says. YES! I have never been so happy in my life. I thank him a million times and then go to my room to call Lacy and Jade to tell them the good news.
Of course, as soon as I tell them they are overly excited just like I am. A car makes everything so much easier. Then I realize where are me and Jordan going to live once we are married. Will he want me to live in his house or will he move in with us. We still have so much to talk about. Good thing we have two years and one month to figure it out.
