Rags And Riches

You again?

Logan's Point of View.!
A few days later.!

        I haven't been to the community center in a few days.  My Father was very mad at me about going and now I kind of can't go at certain times and today my Father has business meetings all day so as long as I'm home before he gets there I'm fine. When my classes ended I headed straight over to the community center.  Today we are taking the kids to the beach.  When I got there, we loaded all the kids on the bus and headed to the beach.  When we got there we let the kids run around and collect shells and go swim.  I just walked along the beach watching them. I decided to take a seat on the sand.  While I sat along the beach I felt someone staring at me. I looked around and my eyes caught someone staring at me.  I look harder and noticed it's that " Death " dude.  He's with some people and has a girl sitting on his lap.  I kind of began to get upset but I have no right.  Nothing can happen between us. I guess I was staring too long so I quickly turned my head and began to play in the sand.  I started to trace my name.  I felt him still staring but I never looked back.  " Miss. Logan, I have to pee " Linsey came to me saying. I grabbed her hand and walked her to the bathroom area.  She went in and I stood outside.  The beach isn't full at this time but it is some people here.  " You must like kids, " Someone said.  I turned around and saw Death.  " What's it to you," I asked?  " Just curious " Death said leaning against the wall.  " Yes, I do.  Why are you talking to me? Weren't you just with your girlfriend " I asked rolling my eyes?  " What's it to you, " Death asked?  " Nothing at all," I said about to walk off into the bathroom.

       Before I could fully get into the bathroom Death stopped me. " Wait she not my girl.  Just some shorty that wants me alright " Death said.  I stood there and nodded my head.  " Where have you been? I haven't seen you around since the day at the center " Death asked.  " Why should I tell you and I don't even know your real name? Could be a serial killer " I asked? Before Death could say anything Linsey walked out the bathroom and he walked off. I was confused but I walked back to the beach with her. Death continued to stare at me and honestly I couldn't help but glance back. I don't know what it is about him but I want to know more.  I watched the kids play one the girls kept asking me to get in the water with them.  I took off my sandals and set them to the side.  After that, I ran into the water with the girls.  We slashed each other and some of the girls jumped on my back so I dunked them underneath.  After a few more splashes I got back out of the water.  When I got out I ran and sat down next to my shoes and my stuff and towel-dried my hair.  " Miss. Logan, can I get your phone number my mom wants it " James asked? " Yeah sure, " I said giving him my number and he ran off.  I sat back and relaxed in the sun until it was time to go.

      After about an hour of the kids playing and me feeling death staring at me, we finally packed up and got everybody onto the bus.  We got back to the center and left because I have to get home before my dad.  When I finally got home I went directly to my room and washed up and put my clothes in the hamper.  I washed my hair and my body then got out. I put on my nightgown and got into bed and watched videos on my phone. While I was watching videos on my phone a number I've never seen called me.  I contemplated if I should answer.  I decided not to.  No telling who it could be.  I began to finish watching my videos and the number called again.  I decided I'll answer it this time.  I hit the answer button and reluctantly answered.

Phone call!
Logan: Hello
Unknown: All it took was $10 and your phone number was in my hands.
Logan: Excuse me?
Death: Never believe a Kid who'll do anything for money.
Logan: James. Why didn't you just ask me?
Death: Be honest if I would have come straight to you and asked for your number would you have given it to me?
Logan: No probably not.
Death: Right cause you like to play hard to get.
Logan: I am hard to get it's not acting and it's not like you want me anyways.
Death: I wouldn't have paid $10 for your number if I didn't want to get to know you.
Logan: let's see you had a girl sitting on your lap and you won't even tell me your real name. Yes, you want me.
Death: I'll talk to you later.
Logan: See you don't want me. You want to play games with me. Don't talk to me ever.
End of Conversation

I hung up.  I'm not going to let him play games with me.  That's annoying.  I put my phone on the charger and laid down going to sleep.  I'm skipping dinner tonight.
