Lunch time couldn't have past more quicker, because before Quinn knew it, the bell had run, signaling she had 5 minutes to get to her next class, which was unfortunately on the other side of the campus. Quinn jumped from her bed, grabbed her backpack and key, and rushed out the door as fast as she could. She didn't want to be late for class, but she barely had any time to get there. She hurried outside and saw her Jet X. Thank god, she thought as she unlocked it and turned it on. It revved to life and she sped away toward her classroom, History. She had it with Carter, and unfortunately Mark. The problem was, she sat beside Carter and Mark sat in front of them. Joy, she thought. She sped around the lot of people as she finally reached the building. She parked her Jet X and locked it, before hurrying to her classroom with only 20 seconds left. Mr. Parker yelled and gave out detention if you were late. She expertly ran through the halls, avoiding the students getting to their classroom and saw her class right ahead. 5 seconds, she thought as she raced toward the door at record speed. She entered the room just as the bell rang. Mr. Parker stood at the door, smirking. "Nice save Ms. Pensky. Now, take a seat," he said as Quinn walked to her seat beside Carter. Mr. Parker closed the door and started the lesson.
"Hey," Carter greeted her warmly. Quinn smiled back. "Hey," she said back as she attempted to listen to the lesson, but found herself still distracted. She knew she couldn't think about Logan anymore. They would talk tonight and everything would be fine. She had to calm down. She spotted Mark turning around and looking at her and she gave a feeble smile before turning to her work. She felt Mark's eyes finally leave her and she relaxed. Quinn listened to the rest of the lesson in silence, thankfully not being picked. Finally, five minutes before the bell rang; Mr. Parker let them all go early, for some reason. Quinn gathered up her stuff and walked out of the classroom. A few seconds later, Carter caught up with her.
"Hey Quinn," he greeted her warmly. Quinn smiled.
"Hey Carter," Quinn greeted him politely.
"So, how are you holding up? I mean, with the breakup and everything?" he asked casually as he followed her.
"Honestly, not that good," she answered. Carter frowned.
"Oh, why's that?" he asked. Quinn smiled slightly at him.
"Well, I'd love to tell you, but I have to get to Chemistry class," she said as she pointed at the building she stood in front of.
"Oh, well, I'd love to hear about it, and I'd love to get to know you some more. How about tonight, 6 o'clock, Sushi Roxs?" he asked. Quinn froze. He was basically asking her out on a date. What should she say? If she said yes, that would mean she actually liked him, and wanted to go out with him. She knew it was too soon to go out with anybody yet. But if she said no, that would mean that she didn't like him at all, and just didn't see him that way, or any way. The perfect answer was no, right? I mean, he would understand that she didn't want to, because it was too soon to go out.
"Uh… uh," Quinn hesitated. Carter sensed her hesitation and replied, "As friends, of course." Quinn relaxed. She could do friends.
"Ok," she said cautiously. Carter smiled. "Ok, I'll see you at 6," he said. He smiled at her and then walked down the sidewalk until he was out of sight. Quinn breathed in as she turned toward the building once more and approached it. She entered the building and headed straight for Chemistry, with Logan, Zoey and James. She entered the classroom and took her usual seat next to Zoey and James, Logan a few seats down. The teacher, Mrs. Overlie, entered the classroom.
"Good afternoon class. Now, as you know, the genesis of chemistry can be traced to the widely observed phenomenon of burning that led to metallurgy- the art and science of processing ores to get metals (e.g. metallurgy in ancient India). The greed for gold led to the discovery of the process for its purification, even though, the underlying principles were not well understood—it was thought to be a transformation rather than purification. Many scholars in those days thought it reasonable to believe that there exist means for transforming cheaper (base) metals into gold. This gave way to alchemy, and the search for the Philosopher's Stone, which was believed to bring about such a transformation by mere touch," she started.
Within seconds, Quinn saw most of the class zone out, including Zoey and James. Figures, Zoey was never good at Chemistry, and James probably wasn't as interested as some people. Quinn looked around to see only her and kind of surprisingly Logan listening. She noticed one or two other people half paying attention, but the others were completely out of it. Quinn saw Logan turn her way and their eyes met for a brief moment. The same vibe that happened in English happened again, as the passion between them intensified. The longing of Logan's lips on hers never left, and it grew.
Finally, Quinn forced herself to turn away as she focused on what Mrs. Overlie was saying.
"Some consider medieval Muslims to be the earliest chemists, who introduced precise observation and controlled experiment into the field, and discovered numerous chemical substances. The most influential Muslim chemists were Geber (d. 815), al-Kindi (d. 873), al-Razi (d. 925), and al-Biruni (d. 1048). The works of Geber became more widely known in Europe through Latin translations by a pseudo-Geber in 14th century Spain, who also wrote some of his own books under the pen name "Geber". The contribution of Indian alchemists and metallurgists in the development of chemistry was also quite significant.
The emergence of chemistry in Europe was primarily due to the recurrent incidence of the plague and blights there during the so called Dark Ages. This gave rise to a need for medicines. It was thought that there exists a universal medicine called the Elixir of Life that can cure all diseases, but like the Philosopher's Stone, it was never found."
Soon Quinn found herself starting to doze out. Quinn forced herself to concentrate. She took a quick glance at Logan and he seemed very intent on Mrs. Overlie's lesson. He had his pen poised, every so often writing something down. Quinn found herself staring longer than she needed to, and soon, she heard Mrs. Overlie's voice speaking to her.
"Ms. Pensky, I realize that Mr. Reese is very interesting to look at, but if you could kindly wait until after the class to stare, that would be appreciated," the tall woman spoke in a light manner. Quinn took her eyes away from Logan, blushing furiously as she noticed the whole class glancing over. Quinn nodded as she forced her eyes down on her work as Mrs. Overlie continued her lesson.
"Hey, Quinn, are you ok?" Zoey whispered to her. Quinn looked at Zoey, forcing a smile.
"Of course," she said pleasantly as she continued to listen to Mrs. Overlie, who was now talking about atoms and ions. Quinn's hand shook slightly as she tried to take notes on what Mrs. Overlie was saying, but could feel Logan's eyes travelling to her every once in a while. When she felt him staring, she felt weird inside, tingly and happy, and she did not like this one bit. She hated feeling this way now. She's never felt like this before, and it scared her. Why did Logan suddenly have to have this impact on her? Quinn shuddered slightly as she casually took a glance over and saw Logan's eyes thankfully down at his own work. Quinn looked back at hers and noticed through this whole thing she had been doddling. But not of pictures, of names.
Mrs. Quinn Reese
Mrs. Quinn Pensky-Reese
Mr. Logan Reese-Pensky
Logan and Quinn Reese
Logan and Quinn Pensky-Reese
And instead of dots above her I's, there were tiny little hearts. Quinn gaped before shutting the book closed, immediately feeling relief. She hoped nobody saw what she wrote. If they did, she was so dead. Quinn opened up a fresh page, and sighed as Mrs. Overlie finally finished her lesson and assigned homework from the textbook. She heard groans all around, but Quinn calmly opened her book to page 67 and started answering the problems assigned. Soon, she was done and sat around as she watched everyone else struggle for the answers. Logan, however, was also complete, him being a Chemistry wiz and all, and he looked as bored as she did. Quinn started tapping her fingers impatiently, as she noticed Logan start tapping his foot. Mrs. Overlie looked up from her desk and noticed them looking very bored.
"Done already?" she asked, not particulary surprised. Both of the teens nodded. Mrs. Overlie checked the time. There was about 20 minutes before the end of the last period. She thought for a minute.
"Ok, you two may go early. You can take down the attendance," she said. Slightly relieved, Quinn packed up her books and put them in her bag. She stood up as Logan was already halfway out the door. Quinn took the sheet from Mrs. Overlie and gave a weak smile to James and Zoey before she exited the room with Logan, not feeling particulary anxious to walk with Logan.
Quinn sighed as they left the building in silence. Both were unsure of what to say. Finally, Quinn turned to him.
"We'll talk later tonight," she said to him softly before stalking toward the admin building, hearing the relief leaving her own voice. She swore she heard Logan's sigh of relief. After she delivered the attendance, she decided to head to her dorm room to get ready for her friendly dinner with Carter.
(Ok, so I know you guys have been hanging long enough for the talk with Quogan, so I am skipping straight to the bench scene, so you don't have to be hanging any longer)
Logan checked his watch again. 9:59pm. It was almost ten, and Logan was growing anxious. Part of him believed Quinn wouldn't show up, she would skip out on him, and she would keep ignoring him, and hating him. But the other part believed she would show up, they would talk, and hopefully everything would go smoothly. Logan wasn't sure of what he would say yet. I mean, he was Logan Reese. Good with the ladies, not so good with the communication, which he knew he had to work on. Logan's hands grew clammy as his watch beeped, signaling ten. He stopped the beeping and paced anxiously on the sidewalk.
Suddenly he heard footsteps and he turned to see Quinn walking toward him, an emotionless look on her face. He watched as she walked toward him, her hips swaying and her hair blowing softly in the cool wind. He didn't take his eyes off of her for a second until she was directly in front of him, a small smile playing onto her lips. Logan, while watching her, had a sudden inspiration. He knew exactly what to say.
Without a word, Quinn gestured to the bench behind them, and the two took a seat on it. For a while, both were silent. Logan fidgeted nervously. He knew what to say, but was kind of afraid to say it. If she didn't like him back, it would crush him so badly. Logan took a deep breath before speaking.
"I guess we need to talk about… what happened," he said. Quinn looked up, avoiding his eyes however.
"Yeah, we do," she said softly. Logan took a deep breath. Here we go, he thought.
"You know, when we first…. kissed, it was incredibly awkward. It's was stupid, awkward and spur of the moment, I guess, and I had no clue what I was thinking. However, it was the best kiss I've ever had. It was meaningful, sweet, powerful and unlike any other kisses I've had with girls. Usually, I don't care so much about the kisses that girls give me. But yours was magical, and so amazing. At first, I wondered why it was like that, why I couldn't get it off my mind, why it meant so much. I couldn't figure it out. But the next time I saw you, after the kiss, I felt giddy, happy, tingly inside, and I thought something was wrong with me. Then, all my thoughts were consumed by you. I couldn't concentrate on anything but you, the kiss, and I got scared. So I got some advice from a friend, and this person told me what was wrong with me and it all made sense.
"Quinn Pensky, I realized I have fallen in love with you. And it's not silly, old, high school crush, or kiss once and forget about kind of thing, it's full blown love, something I have never experienced with anyone before. I have never experienced real love before, not even with my parents, but I know deep down this is different, this is love, you are The One. You are the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, and I know it's true, I know it. When I'm around you, it's different, but a good different. And I really do want to be with you now, and I don't care, because I know I have fallen for you hard, Quinn Pensky. And I know you have to, I can see it in your eyes. And if we start dating, I'll change. I won't flirt with other girls, I won't cheat on you, I'll be better than DelFigalo ever was. I just want a chance with you," Logan finished strongly as he took a breath. He wasn't the person that was totally right with words, he wasn't good with putting them together. But he just spilled his heart out to her, and hoped for a positive reaction. He looked straight into her eyes for any sign of anything really.
Quinn was totally shocked. Logan just confessed his feelings for her. What was she say to that? She should be happier, feel some sort of relief. But all she felt inside was sadness. How was she supposed to tell Logan? Quinn looked straight into his eyes and immediately got lost in them. Her heart fluttered a little bit. Finally, she looked away as Logan kept looking at her. Finally, Quinn spoke.
"Logan, you don't know how I feel right now. I feel happy that you told me. But I can't date you," Quinn said sadly. Logan's heart dropped. He looked at her confused as he uttered one word, "Why?"
Quinn avoided his eyes and paused for the longest moment in Logan's life. Finally, she looked to him, and said in a shaky and sad voice, "Because I'm dating Carter now."
Ok, I'll leave it at that. I know, evil cliffie. Next chapter will explain what happened on Carter and Quinn's 'date' and how they got dating. Please review, and I apologize for the long update. Again, I apologize for the long update, but here it is at least!
