A/N: This is my first story so please be nice! Will definitely be a LoVe fic!

I do not own Veronica Mars or the characters!

'A new year and a new town. Just another chance for my father to meet some adoring fans,' Logan Echolls thought as he followed Duncan Kane through the car park to the soccer field. Duncan, his best friend from summer school, had just given him a tour of Neptune and they had arrived just in time for kick off of the girls game.

Logan's POV

So far Neptune was looking good. As Duncan led me up to some seats in the bleachers I was introduced to his parents Jake and Celeste and they immediately fired questions about my father - Aaron. However, my attention was instead diverted to the soccer field where a blonde petit girl had just gained possession of the ball. She was attempting to get around her opposition and I couldn't help but smile as she made a break up the sideline and kicked the ball straight past the goalie into the goals.

The crowd, along with Jake, Celeste and Duncan erupted in cheers and I assumed that she was obviously part of the Neptune team. I felt a bit jealous as I saw Duncan stand up cheering for the girl, but that couldn't be right, I Logan Echolls rarely got jealous. Whoever she was I needed to meet her.

'Who was th-' I begin to ask in awe, but I am interrupted by a boy running up to Duncan with a huge smile on his face.

'Did you just see Veronica's goal?' the boy asked. Then it all made sense. The girl was Duncan's twin, but who was this guy!

'Yes Casey I did and if you dare start going all love-dovey on Veronica whilst I'm sitting here I'm going to hit you,' Duncan joked. The boyfriend, I assumed. I tried to suppress my sadness as I realised that Veronica was taken.

As the final buzzer sounded highlighting the final score as 5-1 to Neptune we made our way down the stairs to the field. 'Good game Veronica,' the boy known as Casey stuttered nervously and Veronica smiled a thanks in return before he left to go home. They definitely did not look like a couple, maybe just a work in progress. An infectious grin covered my face as I realised I may still have a chance with her.

Veronica this is Logan, Logan this is Veronica, Duncan introduces before going and talking to another one of his friends. 'Hi' I say shyly as I gaze into her eyes nervously fiddling with the pockets of my shorts. Her cheeks were still red from the game and her pigtails had come undone from all of her running but she was still beautiful.

'Hey yourself,' she replied, 'so, did you enjoy the game?'

'Yeah it was good, but you only scored three goals...disappointing effort!' I joked making her laugh.

'Yeah I thought I better at least give the opposition some chance, just wait til next week, if you come watch that is,' she teasingly retorts and I can' help but grin as a small blush creeps onto her face.

'Well I will have to check my very demanding summer break schedule but I'm sure I can fit it in,' I say while raising my hand to my chin pretending to think.

'Wow, taking time out of your video games for me? I'm flattered,' Veronica said and I couldn't help but laugh.

'Is she flirting with me?,' I ask myself and before I get the chance to give another witty remark I am interrupted by another girl coming up to me and brushing and Veronica out of the way.

'Ah you're Logan Echolls! Hi, I'm Lily Kane but I'm guessing Donut over hear already told you that!' she says confidently whilst pointing at Duncan.

'Lets go get some ice cream Ronica,' she says as she begins to drag her away.

'I'll hopefully see you round,' I say staring straight at Ronnie as the girls begin to leave. 'You can count on it,' Lily replies playfully and sends me a wink as she leaves.

'Lily!' Duncan groans after I'm assuming he saw her wink.

'Don't worry man I don't like-like Lily, she's pretty but not really my type,' I reassure him. 'But Veronica, that's another story,' I say to myself.

Veronica's POV

Logan Echolls... well he's cute that's for sure I thought as Lily dragged me away. Truth be told I was annoyed that Lily had interrupted our conversation so soon. Duncan had told me a lot about Logan and I was excited that he would finally be joining us in 7th grade this year. I enjoyed our exchange of witty remarks. Ahh why am I thinking of Logan Echolls when everyone keeps telling me Casey likes me! But he's a lot different than Casey. Good different. I saw the wink Lily gave Logan as we walked away and I quickly hid my face in discomfiture. I know it was just harmless flirting and as much as I love Lily I just can't help but be jealous of her confidence. She could get any guy in the world, why would she bother with someone a year younger than her! Oh now it sounds like I'm jealous!

'Well well well, if it isn't Veronica Kane, looks like we will be in the same class this year,' Logan Echolls says as he sits down in the spare seat next to Veronica. 'Dang! I swear I circled the box that said no jackasses when filling out my class form,' Veronica replies smoothly. 'Ouch Ronnie, that cut me deep,' Logan says while pretending to wipe a fake tear from his eye.

It was a few weeks since the soccer game and Logan and Veronica had formed an interesting friendship to say the least. Duncan was in the class next door and Lily and Casey were the year above and Logan was happy he new someone in the class, especially happy that it was Veronica. He would deny it as much as he could but he spent more time at the Kane residence lately mainly due to the petit blonde girl currently sitting next to him.

'What are we going to do tonight?' Veronica asks the group of teenagers sitting around a small fire in the Kane backyard. 'We could go to Dog Beach,' Meg Manning, Duncan's girlfriend of 2 months suggests from her place on the floor.

She was the ideal fit for Duncan, and they were known as the perfect couple of 7th grade. 'Yeah maybe, but how about we see a movie instead, I heard there's some new drama movie out!' Lily exclaimed excitedly.

Logan's POV

'Ah not a chick-flick!' I moan from my chair in-between Duncan and Wallace. Wallace was Veronica's best friend and as soon as I realised that he had no feelings other than friendship towards Veronica we had immediately clicked.

Dick Casablancas sat to Wallace's right and he was your typical surfer boy, but I think there was more to him. It had been a few weeks since the start of school and I felt I had fit in well with the other members of the gang, besides Casey.

'Get over it Echolls, we are seeing a movie and maybe if you're lucky you can sit next to me during it,' she flirted. 'More like unlucky,' I whispered under my breath causing Wallace, who had heard my comment, to spit his lemonade out in laughter.

Lily's POV

As we file into the movie cinemas Meg and Duncan take their seats in the row then followed by Casey. As I am about to take my seat I stop in the aisle and pretend to fix my shoes, making Veronica step past me and to take the spare seat next to Casey.

A devious smile falls on my lips as I see Casey smile shyly at Veronica. He definitely wasn't Veronica's prince charming, but he was cute, smart and he liked her so of course I was doing my part to help them get together.

'I'm so good,' I whisper proudly to Logan who had taken the seat next to me. 'Why?' he asks confused and I gesture towards Veronica and Casey sitting next to each other. I expect to see a waggle of his eyebrows jokingly or hear an inappropriate comment from his lips but instead I see a miserable expression cross his face.

'LOGAN LIKES MY LITTLE SISTER!' I scream with joy in my mind. At first I'm offended that the famous Echolls boy isn't into me but as cute as he is he definitely wouldn't be able to handle me. But I can really see something happening between him and Ronica. There's certainly something there. A sly smile falls on my lips as I realise life is about to get interesting.

'Umm Logan would you mind swapping seats, I want to sit next to Wally, he has popcorn,' I say persistently as I begin to stand up. I send him a sneaky wink and gesture towards Veronica with my eyes. His face immediately pales and he has a deer in headlights expression.

When Ronica realises that we were changing seats I see her eyes light up in excitement before she quickly covers it with a fake look of disappointment. 'But what if I catch a disease from sitting too close to him?' she asks me cheekily. I see Logan poke his tongue at her in response and I whisper quietly to him, 'Don't worry I'll help you get her,' before the lights dim and movie starts.

I was scared that Lily had found out I like Veronica, but at least it would stop her from flirting with me. Oh god what do I do if Veronica and Casey start kissing next to me, his hand is awfully close to hers!

'Psst Ronnie can you pass me the chocolate?' I asked quietly causing her to move her hand to pass the bag.

'You can hold it, but don't you dare eat it all, I need my energy!' she replies with a childish pout.

I deliberately rest the bag on my leg on the side closet to Lily, so Veronica would need to reach over me to get it. Immature I know, but hey I can't help it. I can hear Lily next to me trying not to laugh. She has obviously caught on to my 'master' plan.

Halfway through the movie as I reach into the bag for some chocolate, Ronnie also reaches over at the same time. We both jump back slightly embarrassed as our fingers lightly touch and I swear I can see a tinge of pink cover her face. 'Now now Ronnie, I know I'm irresistible but try and keep your hands to yourself,' I attempt to say coolly, yet it comes out just an octave higher than what I was hoping.

'In your dreams Echolls!' she responds.

So what do you think? I have some ideas where to go from here but feel free to suggest some!
