Logan's POV
Dana looked like a vision of God. That is way I love her so. She acts like this tough big girl that can make it in the world. She can't. She is more innocent than miss Zoey Books herself. I haven't dated no one in a while. Girlfriends make life boring. As Dana as my girlfriend I will never be bored. Ever since Dana and I became best friends a part inside of me filled with happiness and love. When I am with any other girl I feel empty and bitter.
"Hey guys," Ashley said. Justin took a sit next to her. I took mine next to Dana.
"Hello Logan and Justin," Dan said with her smirk.
"Hey," Justin and I said at the same time.
"Listen. Logan I don't need you to protect me," she told me.
I knew she was going to say that.
"I know. I just want to," I told her.
"Oh," she said.
I looked at her. She looked at me. Our eyes didn't move.
For the first time I was surprised. Sure I left Dana speechless a couple of time. I am Logan when I walk into the room the ladies remain speechless. Not Dana. I didn't say or do anything that would have surprised her. Did I?
"So. We have 20 minutes before lunch break is over. What you want to do?" Justin asked break Dana's and I staring contest. I lost.
"I don't know," I said.
"Anything is good with me," Dana said look at him. I looked back at her. Watching her.
"How about we play a little game of truth or dare," Ashley said.
Dana nodded her head but I could tell she was scared. She said got paler. She was was biting her bottom lip. Her foot shook up and down. These all all bad habits of hers. You would know if you spent all last year with her. The year before she she went to France. The year after and the beginning of this year.
"Sure," Justin said with a smile.
They all looked at me. I knew if I played and a question involved Dana I will be dead for it. What if Dana got asked a question about me. She will be forced to answer it. Who says she will be telling the truth. She might tell the truth. I can't look like the only one that won't play.
"Yes," I said. Somehow that is what my mouth said before I even thought about it more.
"Okay. I go first. Logan, truth or dare?" Ashley said.
What? I talked to her earlier and she knows how I feel about Dana. I told her I was going to sing a song for her later at the club. She even knows about the song. She knows how I feel for Dana. Ashley is a really trustworthy girl. She doesn't go and spill secrets . She knows how it is to have girls talk behind you back. It is a long story. Something to do with Justin.
"Dare," I said. I couldn't afford truth right now.
"Okay. I dare you to kiss Dana," she said.
I kissed Dana before. I always try to use it to tell her I like her. It never works. She talks first and says we are just friends. That is for only passionate kisses. Peck kisses happen often. It is nothing special to anyone who sees. But to those little kiss get me happy and nervous and sad.
"Okay," I said.
I moved closer to Dana. She looked at me. She seemed nervous. Which is weird. She seemed happy, too. I kissed her. I thought it was going to be a small kiss but sometimes a guy can't help himself. My hands cup her face. She puts her hand around my neck. After a second she drops them and pushes me away form her. In my mind the kiss lasted about 7 seconds. When I asked Justin later he said it was well on for a minute.
"My turn. Justin truth or dare," I said.
"Umm. Well truth," he said.
"Punk," I say back.
"I pick dare the next time," he said back.
"I don't know," I said. I didn't a have a truth. "What is your biggest regret?" I asked. I didn't think much of the question.
"Letting rumors and pride get in the way of making me be happy," Justin said.
I had no clue what he was talking about. Ashley and Dana seemed to understand because they eyes popped out of their heads. How does Dana even know? She doesn't hand out with Ashley or Justin.
"Fill me in. It seems like everyone else know," I said looking at Justin.
Dana was whispering something to Ashley. Ashley whispered Something back. I was next to Dana. She was next to Ashley. Ashley was next to Justin. There was no he could tell me.
Then I thought about the long story about Ashley and girls talking behind her back. Stacy had stated a really bad rumor about Ashley that made her seem like a hoe. I knew Justin didn't speak to Ashley for a month because he thought it was true. From what I understand Justin was going to ask her out. Then he never did even after he found out it wasn't true. Maybe it was his pride. Stacy's rumor and Justin's pride. It was about Ashley.
"Dana," I said.
I was getting up. My hand outreached for Dana to grab it so we could leave. I think Ashley and Justin should talk.
"Why?" Dana asked.
"So they could talk," I said.
"Oh," said said.
Second time today Dana was left speechless by me. Logan himself.
When we reached the bottom Dana turned and looked at me.
"What do you want to do?" she asked with her half smile half smirk look. It is like she is going to kill me or hug me.
"I don't know, chill, I guess," I said.
We started to walk when I saw a smoothie stand.
"Hold on," I said as I ran to the stand. Lucky for me there was no line
Dana was waiting. She applied lip gloss on her plump lips.
I came back with two smoothie.
"Here," I said. I was handing her a Passion Peach. It is her favorite.
"I didn't ask for one," she said madly.
"I bought you one,"Ii said pushing to her more.
"No one asked you to waste you money on me," she said.
"No no one did. I wanted to. But I will still I spend all my money on you," I said flirting.
"Oh," she said again. Speechless again. I miss her comebacks.
"Come on Dana where are the comebacks?" I asked.
Then we sat down the benches. She turned to look at me.
"I don't know," she said.
Then we connected eyes. She quickly turned. Then she turned back.
"Do you like me?" she asked.
"No I hate you. Dana you know I love you. You are my best friend," I said.
"No. I know you love me. I mean are you in love with me?" she asked.
Then the bell rang. I save by the bell. I stood up. Dana pulled my arm. I was standing right in front of her.
"You owe me a answer," she said.
I moved closed to her face.
"Tonight. Come see me sing and you will have you answer," I whispered.
Dana didn't say nothing. She let me go. She was speechless again. She sat there. Hope she s not late for gym.
