The problem with questions like 'discuss the difference between monologue and soliloquy' is that when you're using English homework as a distraction from your truly shitty life it helps if the English homework isn't so damn difficult that you start procrastinating from it by thinking about your truly shitty life. It's a never ending circle of moping and getting your first C in three years.
Veronica doesn't really want her dad to come home from having his burns redressed only to discover that his daughter's become close personal friends with the letter F. Veronica may have (at first, right after her eviction from their ranks) been jealous of a lot of things to do with the 09ers but she has never, ever felt the need to emulate their combined average grade. A's and B's will do just fine thank you, and that's why she should be scribbling notes about Hamlet's supposed insanity rather than letting her gaze move between her cell, her laptop and the TV.
She has these moments when she lets herself indulge in what it would be like if Logan turned up on her doorstep one of these evenings. He was doing a pretty good impression of Duncan lately – avoidant but unhostile – and it was strange not to talk to him. They had always talked, bitched, whined, laughed, accused and now there was this disappointed silence as if he had held out a hand and she had let go.
Maybe it would be dark outside and he would be leaning against her porch again. Maybe she wouldn't accuse him of rape this time but invite him inside instead.
At school (where that C was going to be downgraded to a D if she didn't stop with the tangents) there were rumors and stories and lies all about them. And nobody really knows much about what was between them—least of all her, Veronica admits to herself bitterly—so the stories range in credibility.
From: "Oh, yeah I heard they were dating."
To: "Did you hear she blew him in the girls' bathroom?"
To: "It was a total set-up, skank just wanted a piece of his dad too."
Logan seemed unwilling to contradict anyone, so Veronica was stuck as the bitch who dated Logan, repeatedly serviced him in the school's bathrooms and all this because she was trying to get into his dad's pants and take one more step towards becoming Neptune High's new Lilly Kane. She was a manipulative whore and Logan didn't care. Veronica didn't much care what the denizens of Neptune thought either, but she would prefer if Logan (and a few select others, but this mostly concerned Logan) didn't think that of her.
Even if they're not going to be together (and that seems somewhat unlikely considering their lack of contact) she would like to be held with slightly more esteem than rug burn or some other nasty side-effect of fun, impulsive choices.
