Neptune: After Duncan left
Chapter one: Got it Bad

It had been three days…Three days since Duncan left Veronica with Meg. Three days since Veronica had seen Logan. And Probably three months since she's truly been happy, in other words, the only time she was happy was when she was with Logan. She didn't go to school the last couple three days. She spent her time at the Police department for questioning. Lamb had thought that Veronica helped Meg and Duncan run away with the baby.

She didn't want to seem like a bad "girlfriend", but she knew right after she found out Meg was pregnant that Duncan and her would never have the same relationship they had before. They were just two completely different people. She and Duncan both knew that it was over.

"Hey BFF!" Veronica exclaimed at the sight of Wallace. "Hey V." Wallace responded. They were walking together to school because Wallace didn't want Veronica to go through the killer stares, pointing and laughing predators and hateful words alone. "How you feeling girl?" Wallace asked as he turned his head to look at her. "Oh just peachy! My EX-boyfriend left me without any last words with Meg and my second best friend comforted me during these last three days! Thank Goodness for Ben and Jerry Ice cream! " replied Veronica with a forceful smile. "Don't worry V, everything's going to me fine." Responded Wallace while swinging his arm over her shoulder.

When they had arrived at school, Veronica was greeted by the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders just stood there and stared at Veronica and Wallace's hand hanging over her shoulder. "Wow Veronica. It's been only three days since your last boyfriend left you and you already have a new boy toy. I'm impressed. Maybe you could teach me how to be a slut for Halloween this year!" Madison exclaimed while eyeing Veronica. "You don't need lessons Madison. I mean, I learned all of my ways from you!" replied Veronica in a cherry tone while she and Wallace walked away to their lockers. They both laughed in unison when they heard Madison scoff at Veronicas comment. The smiles and laughter were wiped away from their faces when they stopped at Veronica's locker. Veronica looked up at Wallace and gave him a smile that said "Don't worry. I'll be fine." Wallace gave her a quick nod and eyed the stranger leaning beside her locker. "I'll see you at lunch V" Wallace said before walking away. Veronica took a deep breath and walked over to her locker, pretending that Logan wasn't leaning on the locker next to hers. "What did you do this time to make my best friend leave town? Huh, Ronnie? Did you accuse him too? I have to say-" "Shut up Logan" Veronica replied, cutting him off. "He and I broke up. He left with Meg somewhere, don't ask me where the hell they went. So if you're done being an asshole move out of my way." Veronica said while slamming her locker closed. Logan looked at her in the eye, and he could have sworn he saw a tear fall. Veronica shook her head and walked around Logan to get to her first class. "That bastard. Why did he leave her like that" Logan thought while he walked to his first class. Yeah, He still liked her, and now that his best friend was gone, maybe he could finally get a chance to tell her he needs her.

Veronica slammed her lunch tray down on the lunch table. "Whoa V. I hate sloppy joe Thursday too but you don't see me slamming it down on the table!" Wallace said. Veronica tried resisting a smile, but she lost the battle. "Ha-ha, Shut up Wallace. Ever since the VERY first class of the day, people have been pointing and staring and I keep thinking I'm naked!" Veronica said as she wrapped her arms protectively around herself. Veronica punched Wallace when he saw the look of grimace on his face. "Yeah, Veronica, We're close, but, not THAT close. Don't give me any other thoughts about you naked." Wallace replied while rubbing the spot Veronica had punched him at.

Logan was sitting at his usual 09er table. He couldn't help looking at her. Gosh she's so beautiful he thought, as he saw her smile at Wallace. "Okay Logan, lets not be stupid. Go up to her!" he thought. He stood up from his spot and walked behind Veronica. As soon as he appeared, Wallace had stopped laughing and his smile suddenly faded. Wallace just stared at Logan while Veronica, completely oblivious, kept laughing at their last joke. "And remember the time when---" she stopped when she finally got a clue that Wallace was looking at something behind her. She slowly turned around still smiling but the smile soon faded when she had seen Logan there. Dammit Logan. Think of something quick! "Hey" Logan said. Veronica just sat there with an uneasy look on her face. She looked at Logan, then back at Wallace giving him a look that said "can you please leave? I'll make it up to you, I promise." Wallace nodded, picked up his backpack, his lunch tray and left. Logan then sat down where Wallace was last sitting. "So…Ronnie. What's up?" Veronica was playing with her lunch but as soon as she heard what Logan had said, she looked up saying "Logan, If that's your approach on starting a new conversation, I say you try a NEW one." Dammit Logan. Think of something to talk about. Don't just sit there and drool. "Well, I was kind of just wondering, I- Uh. I need help, with something. A case. Could you help me find out about the Fitzpatricks..I really need a professionals help" Logan said with a innocent smile. Veronica looked at Logan long and hard trying to figure out if he was lying or not. She then nodded and said "Meet me at my locker after school. I'm pretty sure you know where that is right?" She then stood up from the lunch table and walked away without even looking back. Okay Logan, If you want to keep pretending like you didn't hurt me with your words this morning, fine thought Veronica as she walked away. Logan knew he was lying but anything that would get him close to her was enough for him. Logan just sat there looking at the spot where Veronica was sitting. I got it so bad for her Logan thought as his head feel back. Logan then smiled, stood up and walked away. It was that time when Wallace snagged a look at Logan smiling. Wallace told himself that he had never seen Logan smile like that. Not even while he was kicking Duncan's ass at that PGA Golf Tour game.
