Rocky Point of view
I woke up, exhausted and bored. It was Saturday, and just yesterday I made a deal with Logan. We agreed that if he makes an effort and makes up with Cece, then I will consider going out with him again. I could tell that he wasn't happy about it, and neither was Cece. I do like Logan, and it would be great for him and I to date again. But that can't happen if they still hate each other. I tried to date him during that time, and it ended in total chaos. What was I thinking? Those two? Make up after all that happened and become friends?
I groaned and pulled myself out of bed. I looked at the clock and saw that it was almost ten. Wow, I really slept in.
I got dressed, had a bagel, brushed my teeth, and got ready for the day. By the time I was done, it was almost eleven. I told Logan that Cece and I would meet him at Crusty's at 11:30 for pizza. I sighed, very worried about what I got myself into.
I left a note for my mom and Ty (my dad's away on another business trip), before I climbed out the window, and down the fire escape. I opened the window to the Jones' apartment, to find Cece on the couch waiting for me. She turned her head, noticing me, and stood up.
"Hey Rocky." She said.
"Hey Cece! Ready to go to Crusty's?"
"Ready as I'll ever be to hang out with little scooter."
"Look, Cece I'm sorry, but we can't back out of this now. Logan's probably already there waiting for us."
"Yeah I know." She sighed. "Come on, let's get this over with."
And with that, we both walked out the door.
Logan point of view
There I was, in Crusty's, sitting in one of the booths, waiting for Rocky to come over with...Cece.
Uugh! I can't believe I agreed to this! I don't want to spend my Saturday with Sissy! The girl's a nightmare! I only agreed to this because I was so overwhelmed when Rocky said that she would consider taking me back! Then I regretted it the second I walked out the door.
Just calm down Logan, calm down. The day will be over before you know it. And if you only focus on the bad stuff, there's no way Rocky will take you back.
Just as I finished my thought, I turned and saw the two BFFs I've been waiting for, walk down the stair case. I waved to them, and they made their way over. Rocky was smiling at me, while Cece just gave me a small stare. Figures.
I stood up as they approached me.
"Hey Rocky!" I said, smiling wide.
"Hey Logan!" She replied, smiling back.
She's happy to see me. That's a good sign! Then I turned my head towards Cece, my smile slowly disappearing.
"Cece." I stated plainly.
"Logan." She replied.
Then we were all silent for a few seconds. Until Rocky spoke up.
"So guys" she said happily, trying to make it a lot less awkward then it was. "How about we sit down and order?"
Cece and I nodded and the three of us sat down in the booth. Rocky and Cece were sitting on one side, and I was sitting on the other side by myself. After a waiter came over and took our order, it was once again, quite.
"So guys," Rocky said. "I get that this is a bit awkward since none of us have really recovered from what happened a few months ago. But can we please at least try to make this work out?"
We both nodded, still not looking at each other.
"So uh, Logan." Cece said, I guess trying to make an effort, though it was just as hard for her as it was for me. "How's badminton going?"
I couldn't help but scowl a bit when she mentioned badminton. "Badminton season is over." I said through my teeth. "It always ends after the championship game."
"Oh, yeah." She said, staring at her hands. Then she looked up at me, a bit of anger in her eyes.
"Look Logan, I said I was sorry." She said. "Why can't you just forgive me for that?"
That's when I couldn't help but get angry. "How can I just forgive you for making me lose the championship?" I snapped.
"Guys, please don't start fighting again!" Rocky said, in a worried voice.
We both just ignored her.
"Because it was an accident and I said I was sorry!" She yelled at me.
"Oh please, do you honestly expect me to believe that, after everything you've ever said and did to me?" I yelled.
"Oh you poor thing!" She snapped. "The worst you've gotten from me was insults! Meanwhile you have actually tried to turn my own friends and brother against me, said things to me that weren't easy to forget, and practically tortured me when I was trying to make money for brides maids dresses, with that job as a dancing zit at the mall! You have put me through hell, Logan Hunter, and you don't even care!"
"Uh, guys. People are staring." Rocky said. "Please stop fighting!"
Once again, we both ignored her.
"Well I hate to break it to you, Cece, but you aren't exactly a ray of sunshine either! You have-"
"STOP! Just stop fighting!" Rocky yelled at us.
That certainly got our attention. And the attention of most of the people in the pizzeria. Even the employees were staring at us. We were both dead silent, shocked to see her so mad.
"Now listen to me!" She yelled. "You two have hated each other since the day you've met. You guys fight all the time and it's driving me crazy! Have you guys ever thought that maybe, just maybe, you can let bygones be bygones? Just try to forget the things you've done to each other and move on? Yes, she did cause you to loose the badminton game, and yes, he was acting like a jerk for making fun of you the way he did, but that's all the past! This isn't even about me and Logan getting back together, anymore, it's about just you two making up! I asked you both to try to make an effort for me, and it seems like neither of you even care! You know, if the three of us never met at the mall, I guarantee that you guys would have NOTHING against each other!"
And the entire resteraunt was dead silent. My jaw hanging open from what Rocky just said. And I could see that Cece was just as, if not, even more shocked than I was. I never expected Rocky to get so mad before.
For about ten seconds, the whole room was holding it's breath. Then the silence was broken when Rocky's phone beeped. She looked at the dim screen, and stood up.
"I got to go. I'm supposed to tutor Ty for a chemistry test." She said. "I'll see you guys later."
She begins to walk away, but then turns back to us.
"Life's to short to hold grudges, guys. Just remember that."
And with that, the brunette left the restaurant, leaving me and Cece alone, both of us thinking about what Rocky said. And both of us completely unsure of what to say next.
