Chapter 12
516 Words
It has been a pretty calm week. Though there were a few encounters, Mason has stayed pretty clear of me after Monday. Now it's Friday. I'm currently in 2nd period with Alex right now.
"Mia, I'm so sorry. I can't walk with you to art. I have to stay after to finish a test," Alex said sadly. He has become a nicer person to me after he heard my story. That just goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover.
"Oh, it's cool. I never see him this passing period anyways."
"Knock on wood," he says as she knocks on the desk. "The guys will still have their eyes on you, so you should be good."
I really appreciate what the boys are doing for me, but I feel it is a little too extreme. I mean, what will he do to me at school? There are people everywhere. He won't get away with anything.
"Thanks, Alex."
Science class was dismissed, but Alex stayed behind. I made it to my locker to grab my art supplies.
As I was putting in my combination, I heard a high pitched voice, "Mia," it said.
I opened my locker and turned around, "Oh hey Sarah," I said, confused as to why she was here.
"So what's with you and Logan?" She sneered.
"I'm not actually sure."
"Hmm, well I think he likes you. But don't get your hopes up before I steal him back," She cackled.
"Uhm, okay?" I say as a question because I was still confused.
"And by the way, you are so f*****g-"
"Sarah? What the hell?" Logan asked as he stormed over.
"Hey Logan," She said in an even higher voice, fluttering her eyelashes and twirling her hair.
"Stop giving Mia a hard time, get lost Sarah." He said sternly.
"Hmph," She turned on her heel and strutted away.
"Hey, you good?" Logan asked as he turned to me, putting his hands on my shoulders.
"Yep."
"What'd she say?"
"Oh, nothing," I said as I looked down.
"Mia," He lowered his voice and tilted my head up to look at him.
"Hmm?" I asked, feeling my cheeks heat up.
"What did she say?"
"She was just going to insult me."
"Anything else?"
"She'll steal you back?"
"I feel like there is something you aren't telling me, Mia," his voice lowering as I saw something flash through his blue eyes.
"Oh, uhm, that you like me?" I squeaked.
"Is that so?" He asked only a few inches away from me.
"Yeah, what do you think about that?" I asked, my heartbeat racing.
"I think she was spot on with the last one," he whispered, staring at my lips.
"Oh really?" I blurt, as my cheeks turn red.
"Yes," He said, "I like you Mia."
"Wait, what?" I ask in astonishment.
"I do, and I have no shame," He said as he stood up, "C'mon, you're gonna be late."
"Wait, Logan, I like you too." I said nervously.
"Great, I'm glad we are on the same page," he said as his smile grew wide.
