Veronica rolled her eyes as she ripped the piece of paper off her locker. “Creative.” She muttered looking at the huge bold letters written on it. She crumbled the paper in her hand and dropped her head as she opened her locker. Taking a deep breath she grabbed her English book and tossed the paper into the locker.
“Third one today.”
Veronica looked up to see Logan leaning against the lockers watching her.
“Huh?”
Logan shook his head and pointed at the paper. “I tossed two already.” He explained.
“Oh.” She frowned.
He could see the hurt in her eyes and he hated it. This wasn’t her battle to fight and yet she was fighting it with him. Part of him wanted to make her fix things with Lilly just so she could have her life back. He had heard so many rumors about Veronica that he couldn’t understand how anyone believed them.
“Hey did you hear about our hot night on the 50 yard line?” Logan smirked shutting Veronica’s locker for her. “Man, I heard I was good.”
Veronica smiled gently, “That’s what you heard huh?”
“It’s common knowledge.” Logan shrugged, “But I’m glad I impressed you Dollface.”
Veronica rolled her eyes, “See, I heard it was on third base after one of the games.” She spoke. “And I’m pretty sure they said it was over pretty fast.”
Logan grabbed his heart, “They lie.”
“Oh and did you know dad caught you climbing out of my bedroom window one night? He totally pulled out the gun!” Veronica laughed.
“Wow we have such an amazing love life.”
“Who knew?” Veronica shrugged. “Should we tell them that the hottest thing that has happened to us is a popcorn fight during Cast Away?”
Logan rolled his eyes as they headed down the hall, “That movie sucked! I can’t believe you made me watch it.”
“I can’t believe you didn’t like it!” Veronica exclaimed.
“Dude falls in love with a volleyball and you want me to see it as quality entertainment?” Logan questioned.
“That? Again? Logan will you ever let that rest?” Veronica huffed, “It was about more than Chuck and Wilson.”
“Nooo!! it was a love story between a man and a volleyball. Even your dad agrees with me, that movie sucked!”
“The only reason you don’t like it is because you wanted to see Chuck stay on the island with Wilson.” Veronica teased.
“I will never admit to such a thing.” Logan spoke, adding a fake gasp, “But next time we do a cheesy movie night, I’m picking out the movies!”
Veronica looked up at Logan and was about to speak up when she bumped into someone in the busy hallway. “Oh I’m sor…..” She spoke as Lilly turned around glaring at her.
“Watch where you’re going Veronica!” Lilly snapped.
Veronica dropped her head and Logan quickly saw her retreating back into her shell. Her eyes darted to the floor as Lilly stood waiting for a response. Without thinking Logan grabbed Veronica and pulled her closer to him.
“Sorry your highness, we were just so caught up in each other, I guess Tink just didn’t see you there.”
“Because you two are just so in love?” Lilly laughed.
“Hey, that’s what you’ve been spreading.” Logan growled. “From what I hear we can’t keep our hands off each other.”
“How could you lie to Duncan?” Veronica spoke up. “Do you hate me that much?”
“Hate?” Lilly laughed, “Please I’m not going to waste that kind of emotion on you Veronica.”
“Oh? But you’ve wasted plenty of your precious time spreading all those rumors about me!” Veronica fumed.
“Rumors? Who says there rumors?” Lilly questioned innocently.
“Right. Veronica doing the whole football team is totally believable.” Logan scoffed.
“I believe it was just the offensive line,” Lilly shrugged. “And from I’ve been hearing it’s totally believable. You’ve got yourself quite the rep there V.”
“Well I was your best friend, so I guess it does make sense.” Veronica spoke crossing her arms defensively. “I mean I had to at least try to keep up with you, right Lil?”
“Whatever.” Lilly sighed, “I don’t have time for this.”
“Fine with me,” Veronica shrugged, “Logan and I have things to do anyway.”
“On the 50 yard line?” Lilly sneered.
“Nah, we’ve covered that and the baseball field.” Logan shrugged, “I was thinking the basketball court?”
“I was thinking of the pool.” Veronica smirked. “But whatever works for you.”
“Pool totally works.” Logan nodded, “Come along Glinda; let’s leave the wicked witch here to fume. If we’re lucky she might slip in a puddle of water and melt.” He chuckled as Lilly rolled her eyes at both of them. With a wave he turned away from Lilly and waited for Veronica to follow. She shot Lilly once last glare before catching up with Logan.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Veronica had never been picked last for anything. It was one of the perks of hanging out with the 09ers; she always had someone when it came time for projects or anything that involved pairs. As she stood alone in class she finally understood what the other kids meant when they said being picked last sucked.
“Need a partner?” She heard from behind her. When she turned around she saw a girl with purple stripes in her dark brown hair smiling at her.
“Yeah.” Veronica nodded adding a nervous smile. “Cindy right?” She spoke hoping she hadn’t called the girl by the wrong name.
“Mac, everyone calls me Mac.” She spoke. “Cindy is so… not me.”
“I’m Veronica.”
”I know.” Mac shrugged, “The ousted 09er right?” She grinned. “It’s totally cool that you stood up to Lilly Kane.”
“Yeah?” Veronica questioned. “You may be the only one that thinks that.”
Mac laughed lightly, “Nah, believe it or not but there is a world outside the 09er circle. Not everything revolves around Lilly Kane.”
“That’s good to know,” Veronica smiled. “Thanks for offering to be my partner; I’m sure you could have found someone else.”
Mac shook her head, “Well it was either you or Corny, and um… have you met Corny? His idea of a science project is growing weed in creative small spaces.”
“Thanks, I think.” Veronica spoke with a half smile. She wasn’t really sure if the girl was joking or not but it was nice to have someone talking to her. Veronica knew Mac was right about one thing, there were more people in Neptune besides the people in her former circle. She thought it was sad that she had never paid attention the rest of the school before. Veronica had always had her friends, and everyone else had practically been a blur to her. She had never really thought of herself as a snob, but now she was starting to realize she had been.
When the bell rang Veronica was surprised when Mac followed her out of the door and walked beside her down the hall. She saw the stares from people but this time Veronica simply shrugged them off. “So when’s a good time to work on our project?” Veronica questioned.
“Does tomorrow after school work for you?” Mac questioned.
“Sure, we could work at my house if you want.” Veronica suggested.
“Works for me,” Mac nodded. “We can figure out the details tomorrow in class.”
Veronica was about to speak when the boys in front of her said something that caught her attention.
“Dude that fight was so awesome! Echolls totally rearranged that dude’s face!” One of the boys laughed.
“I know I heard Dick was crying when they took him to the nurse.”
Veronica drew in a tense breath and cleared her throat as she looked at Mac and then lightly tapped one of the boys on the back. “Excuse me.” She spoke as politely as possible.
“You need something?” He questioned.
“Did you just say Logan Echolls got in a fight?” She asked biting her lip.
“Yeah, it started in the bathroom and ended in the hall. It was awesome!”
“Awesome huh.” Veronica muttered, “Um do you know where Logan is right now?”
“Office,” The other boy shrugged, “If he’s still here. I’m sure he’ll get a few days for this one.”
“Thanks.” Veronica nodded then turned to look at Mac, “I’ll see you tomorrow.” She rushed out as she pushed past the boys and headed down the hall.
Veronica’s mind whirled as she made her way to the office. She couldn’t believe Logan had gotten in a fight, and with Dick? Sure she knew he had a temper, but this wasn’t the time for him to pull something like this. She knew it was just going to make things worse for him, and when the press found out they’d have a field day with it. As she rounded the corner to the office she saw him sitting alone near the door. Her anger suddenly faded as she stepped inside the office and watched as he dabbed his lip with a towel.
Logan looked up and saw her and suddenly smirked, “Come to keep me company?” He asked.
“What happened?” She asked taking a seat beside him, “Let me take a look at that.” She added studying his lip.
“Playing nurse now?” He questioned. “Didn’t know you were that kind of kinky.”
“Hush.” Veronica spoke swatting his arm, “What happened?”
“I missed a couple anger management classes.” He shrugged.
“Logan.” She warned, “What happened?”
“Don’t really feel like getting into it Ronnie.” Logan sighed. “Dick got what was coming to him.”
“What’d he do?” Veronica questioned taking the towel from him to blot the blood on his lip. “I think you’ll live.”
“Lucky me.” He sighed, “It was stupid ok? I just lost it on him, he said some stuff about my mother, and well next thing he knew his whole face was bleeding.”
“I heard he got it pretty bad,” Veronica frowned.
“Haven’t you heard Tink, I’m an expert at everything.”
“Don’t think I got that memo.” Veronica smiled. “So I’m assuming you’ll be suspended, any guess on how long?”
“Rumor floating around this lovely establishment is two days tops.” Logan smirked. “Nice little vacation don’t you think?”
“I’m glad you find this so amusing.” Veronica huffed. “Seriously Logan I don’t blame you for standing up for you mom, but this sucks!”
Logan put his hand up to speak when suddenly he realized what Veronica was trying to say. Slowly he lowered his hand and dropped his head. He had just sentenced Veronica to a few days without anyone. He knew she wasn’t ready to take on Lilly alone but she’d have no choice now. He frowned thinking of how stupid he’d been and then he looked back up to see her watching him, her head tilted slightly as she studied his movements.
“I’m sorry.” He whispered.
“I’ll be fine.” Veronica spoke knowingly. “Honest.”
“I screwed up.” Logan muttered.
“It’s just a couple days,” Veronica reasoned, “And it’s not like I’m totally dependent on you.”
“Are you trying to make me feel better?” Logan questioned with a smile.
“No.” Veronica answered back flatly, “I’m trying to make myself feel better.”
“It’s all about you huh Mars?”
Veronica shrugged her shoulders and smiled, “What can I say; you’ve taught me well Echolls.”
