So here is a new and improved Veronica Mars story. I got over my other story and deleted it because I was having some serious writers block issues but then this lovely plot came to my mind and I know how everyone loves a good LoVe story

Please take the time to read and review.

Thanks,

Best Friends

Int. Neptune High School: Veronica Mars POV

"LILLY." I call out to my best friend who is a few steps ahead of me, walking briskly.

She turns her head and smiles in my direction and stops to wait for me.

"Come on, I'm meeting Logan at my locker." She grins before linking arms with me and dragging me with her towards her locker. True enough Logan was leaning coolly against the locker with one leg crossed over the other.

Lilly gives him a quick display of affection by kissing him on the lips before turning back to me.

"So I know things are awkward with you and Duncan right now but he suggested that we go to the beach this afternoon." She says to me and I nod.

"It's not awkward, he's just avoiding me." I tell her and she laughs.

"I heard you guys arguing the other day..." She whispers to me and I stare at her, "Paper thin walls, you know." She adds with a grin. I roll my eyes, "You're just nosy." I respond and she laughs again.

It hurt me that Duncan and I were fighting so much lately but I figured he was going through some issues and he would soon bounce back and be his charming self but I also thought that would happen a week ago but it's just continued.

"I think I'll skip the beach, I have some work to catch up on." I lie to the both of them and Logan laughs this time, "Ok, whatever miss party pooper." He jokes before linking hands with Lilly and dragging her off to their Math class.

"I'll talk to you later..." She calls out to me and I frown at her before she is out of sight and I continue retrieving the books from my locker.

"Hey..." The familiar voice of Duncan Kane speaks behind me.

I spin around but he doesn't look happy.

"We need to talk." He informs me; I slam my locker shut and turn back to face him.

"Are you really going to do this now, here?" I ask him and he looks around and responds hastily, "If I don't do it now Veronica we're going to be walking on eggshells around each other till one of us eventually does it."

"I can't do this anymore..." He eventually says and at that moment the bell rings signalling the start of first period.

Tears form in my eyes and I look away from him.
"I'm late for English." I respond and walk away from him, holding back the tears that are trying desperately to escape.

I sit down in my seat in English class while Mrs Carson starts talking.

"Do you think he's cheating on me?" I remember asking Lilly last week in her bedroom while Duncan was at soccer practice.

"I don't know honey." She quickly responded, "I don't know everything my brother does..." She adds before returning to her magazine.

"Veronica?" I was brought back to reality by Mrs Carson who had asked me a question that I didn't know the answer to because I hadn't been listening.

I shake my head and she looks away in disappointment.

English drags on and on and finally the bell rings. I get up and remove myself from the classroom and head back down the hall to the next class. Thankfully I had this class with Lilly.

"Lilly." I say to her and she looks at me and knows instantly what's happened.

She pulls me into a hug. "I could see it coming but I didn't think he'd do it that way..." I tell her as we wait for Mr Bell to get to the class.

"He's an ass." She replies and I stare at her in shock, "Lilly, he's your brother." I respond and she rolls her eyes, "that's why I am allowed to call him an ass." She tells me which makes me chuckle a little bit.

"No beach this afternoon, we need serious girl time." She adds before taking out her phone and texting Logan.

Lilly: Beach is cancelled, spending time with V.

Logan: But I'm going surfing with Dick.

Lilly: Fine, do what you want.

Lilly: Go speak to your best friend and ask him why the hell he dumped V.

Logan: He's your brother...

Lilly: You're useless.

She tucks her phone back into her bag before reading Logan's response.

Int. Neptune Mall

That afternoon we reach the mall and as we're walking around window shopping Lilly turns to me and she looks upset and a little bit perplexed.

"What's wrong?" I ask her and she sighs, "I have a secret..."

I watch her curiously but she doesn't say much more leaving me in anticipation which was what Lilly did best to be dramatic.

"Ok so I feel bad about you and Duncan so I need to tell you something." She says to me and I nod, encouraging her to continue.

"I've kind of been seeing someone..." She informs me slowly.

"Yeah, his name is Logan Echolls tell me something I don't know." I roll my eyes and she shakes her head.

"I've been seeing someone else..." She corrects herself.

My mouth drops.

"YOU'RE CHEATING ON LOGAN?" I cry out and she shakes her hands around vigorously trying to get me to shut up and probably to relax.

"Well you see, our relationship seems to be a bit on the boring side lately..." She tells me and I raise my eyebrows.

"So? You love Logan right?" I ask her firmly but she hesitates and then she shrugs.

"I've kind of been seeing this other guy, he's more dangerous and he seems more like my type. Logan is just there for me when I need him." She tells me.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing so I just kept quiet.

"You're my best friend so you should know this..." She says and I shake my head.

"I didn't need to know this Lilly. Logan is also my friend, have you ever thought about how he would feel?" I ask her seriously and she shrugs.

"But you're my best friend so you're not going to say anything to him right?" She warns me and I stare at her blankly for a while.

"Obviously I won't say anything..." I respond and she nods her head in thanks.

"What Logan doesn't know, won't hurt him." She ends drastically.

I felt bad for Logan. He was so in love with Lilly he would do anything for her and for her to treat he like this was not good karma for Lilly Kane.

I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter of my new story. This is a completely AU story with some similarities to the 1st season.

Thank you for reading!
