Disclaimer - Veronica Mars characters belong to Rob Thomas, not me I just enjoy writing about them so don't sue me, k?

A/N - Originally I was going to stear clear of LoVe in this fic since theres already tons of LoVe ship stories in the fan fiction universe, but I have a great time writing them together so I may start leaning in that dirction if theres room for it. Also I'm bringing in Shelly Pomroy's party, and Beaver will probably not be the rapist. And Lilly dosen't know about the possibility of Veronica being her half sister.

----------------------------------------

Veronica was sitting in her room about to cry. Some kids at school thought it would be funny to invite her to Shelly Pomroy's end of the year party only to revoke the invitation just after getting her hopes up. She probably would have cried if her phone hadn't rang. At first she wasn't going to bother even looking at it, figuring it was another cruel classmate. She decided to at least check the caller ID after remembering the messages she has left for Lilly to call her back. However, the number did not belong to Lilly. Instead it was Logan's. Veronica didn't know why Logan would be calling her at home. They usually didn't have many phone conversations, what they had to say to each other was said at school. If it couldn't wait for tomorrow it must be some what important so she answered it.

"Hello?"

"Veronica? Hey its Logan."

"Yeah. Whats up?"

"Look, I know Lilly is seeing someone new. I want you to tell me who it is." He demanded.

"Logan..."

"Veronica, I need to know the truth. I can't stand her lying and sneaking around anymore. Please, just tell me who it is." Veronica noticed the tiny hint of pain in his voice that almost made her sick to her stomach. Her and Logan were a lot a like. They both loved Kanes that didn't give a shit about them.

"I don't know anything about it. Lilly has been acting really weird lately, we haven't been talking as much." She answered honestly, though she doubted Logan would believe her.

"Are you just covering up for her?"

"No, Logan I swear to god, I don't know whats going on with her. But maybe you can tell me whats going on with Duncan."

"What do you mean?"

"Why did he just dump me without saying a word... I mean there has to be a reason and if anyone would know what it is it would be you."

"He never told me anything." He said confirming what Veronica feared. If Duncan didn't tell Lilly or Logan, she would probably never find out what went wrong.

"Figures."

"Veronica, I'm sorry. Duncan is my best friend, but that was a really dickish thing for him to do. You didn't deserve that."

"Don't be sorry. He is just a boy I'll live." She said totally faking it. Truth was she loved Duncan a lot and him not speaking to her hurt like hell.

"Yeah you are pretty tough. But you should come to Shelly's party with me and Lilly. It'll help make you feel better."

"I'm not invited." She said sadly.

"You are now." Veronica smiled. Even if most of her classmates were horrible to her she still had Lilly and Logan. And she finally realized they were all the friends she needed.

"Well I'll see you in school tomorrow. And instead of sitting by yourself come sit by me, Dick, and Beaver they wont say shit to you."

"Thanks Logan."

"Its nothing. If you talk to Lilly please tell her to call me."

"I will" They said their goodbyes and Veronica hung up the phone.

----------------------

Lilly got into her car and checked her messages. There was four from Logan, two from Veronica and one from her mother. She wasn't in the mood to talk to any of them at the moment so she decided to just drive around for a while to clear her head. After thirty minutes of pointless driving she realized she was in the poor part of Neptune and almost out of gas. Lilly had always tried to get along with everyone 09er or not. She actually preferred the company of the non 09er crowd, they seemed more real to her. They cared about their friends and family more than they did about money and clothes. Lilly pushed her thoughts of classes out of her head to focus on getting to a gas station before she got stranded. When she got there her gas tank was on E.

"Lilly Kane?" a voice called out. It sounded familar but yet she couldn't place her finger on who it was. "What are you doing in this neighborhood?"

"Just checkin out the scenery." She turned and replied. It was Weevil Navarro, the cute mexican kid she shared gym class with.

"Yeah right. Go a head and stay in your car I'll get your gas."

"I didn't realize this was a service station."

"Its not, but you get special service." Lilly flashed a flirtatious smile at him as he began to fill her car up.

"Do you like work here or something?" she asked.

"Nah, my boys are inside, I was just watchin our bikes."

"And you just decided to pump my gas? You must really think I'm beautiful." She said batting her eyelashes.

Weevil let out a little laugh. "Yes I do, but thats not why I'm doin' it."

"Why are you doing it then?"

"Because you don't belong in this neighborhood."

"Hey! Who the hell are you to tell me where I belong" Lilly said getting angry.

Weevil laughed again. "I just meant its a dangerous place for a pretty, rich girl like yourself."

Just as he finished filling the tank the rest of the PCHers exited the store and called for him to join them.

"See ya around Lilly."

"See you." She responded with a smile. 'I like him' She thought to herself.
