Unexpected Happenings
Prologue
She had me run after chickens, get pelted by tennis balls AND put me in a dress. Help me? Humiliate me more like!
But after that I couldn't help but notice her, how she became excited after finding out something new, or even during chemistry when everyone else slept.
How guilty she felt when she released that virus (my own guilt at contributing to hers rising thereafter).
And how her eyes lit up when she talked about Mark.
How upset she was that he might be cheating on her.
How happy she became when she found out about the portrait.
Damn, I could have given her a bloody picture! I have plenty of myself.
But, soon after my crush seeped in, so did the old insecurities. I hate feeling insecure. Guess that's what happens when your father is often away and your mother doesn't care that you exist. I grew up thinking for a while that my nanny was my mother.
Why was I, gorgeous, talented, athletic Logan Reese, insecure? Simple. Did you know, Quinn has the highest test scores in Biology, chemistry, physics and environmental science? Precisely. I'm just good at acting, wrestling and basketball. So what? Zoey Brooks proved that she could do better at all three. Dad was not happy when he heard that.
So what could an intelligent, cute girl like Quinn see in a dumb jock like me? Unlike Chase, who wears his heart on his sleeve (he really needs to get on with asking Zoey out), I cover it with harsh words.
Looking back, I suppose that's what I've always done. I also hurt Quinn by calling her a freak and mimicking her and mocking her strange, eccentric, yet oddly cute, ways.
Most people, I think, expect me to get together with Dana because of that weird (and creepy) personality test. The truth is, Dana wouldn't understand me. She has a wall built around her. Quinn, I think, could.
She tends to think outside the box, she's sensitive to people and would never knowingly hurt another (unless it includes Mark…or…oneofmyinsults cough). We would balance each other out, I could teach her how to have fun, she could teach me appropriate timing. But I am scared. Yes, I admit it; Logan Reese is scared of rejection. But isn't everyone?
But, for as long as Mark is on the scene, that won't happen.
I am very unsure about this, so any feedback is welcome. Also, should I make this a full-length?
