This chapter will hopefully make people happy. But you have to remember this is a couple of days after she broke up with him so it isn't a next day decision. The next chapter will take me a little longer to write because it is going to be the big drama thing with Cassidy. I hope you're enjoying the story so far. Thanks for all the reviews. xx
'What's wrong, honey? You're happy one minute and sad the next. I don't think I can keep up with this.' Keith said.
'Dad, I broke up with Logan a few days ago. But I'll be okay, I'm a Mars after all!' she tried to put on a smile.
She hadn't broken up with him because she was still in love with Duncan. It was the fact she had been with Duncan for most of her life. They had shared a lot and she still couldn't believe he had left. She knew he had to and it was for the best but she needed time to accept it, to move on. She just wasn't ready.
'You'd better get going; you don't want to be late for school.' Keith didn't like Logan much, he made his daughter happy, but he wasn't the ideal boyfriend that every father wants their daughter to have.
'Yeah, that would be a shame.' She kissed her father on the cheek and grabbed her bag. She walked to her car and sighed. A few tears poured from her eyes as she turned on the ignition and backed out of the drive way. It was going to be a long day.
'So…Mackie. You're looking good today.' Dick said with a smile. Mac's face was hidden by her locker until she slammed it shut, giving him an angry look.
'What do you want?'
'You. Of course.' He tried to lighten the mood.
'Dick, just leave me alone.'
'But I want you to go to prom with me.'
'I don't think so buddy.' Veronica said from behind. Dick turned and rolled his eyes.
'I was talking to Mackie.' he tried to turn round but Veronica grabbed his arm.
'Just keep walking, Dick. Unless you want everyone to find out about you turning up at Logan's last night. What was it you said? "My Mackie"? I'm sure your 09er friends would love to hear about it.' She smiled and tilted her head in the usual way.
'Okay, fine. I'm going.' He put his hands up in defence and walked away.
'My Mackie? He really said that?' she said excitedly.
'Uh-huh. So, can we change the subject please?'
'Sure, let's get going to class…Oops sorry.' Mac had bumped into Dick's brother, Cassidy.
'No problem. You're Mac, right?'
'Yup, that's me.'
'Cool, do you want to go to prom with me?' he asked bluntly.
'Um….Sure.' she said decisively.
'Cool, we'll sort out details at lunch.' He smiled and walked away.
'Well, well, aren't you popular with the Casablancas'!'
'I bet a thousand guys would be chasing you to be their date if you weren't with Logan.' She laughed knowing that a lot of the people in Neptune really didn't like her or her dad.
'Well, I'm waiting for them to turn up because Logan and I broke up.'
'What? Why?'
'If you ask me it's a good thing.' Wallace put in.
'I don't want to talk about it. All I'm going to say it that I had some past issues getting in the way. That's all.'
The bell rang in the hall and the three split up to go to their separate classes.
Mac was happy throughout the whole day and it got rather annoying after a while. But Veronica put up with it because she wasn't really paying attention. Her mind was elsewhere. Mainly on Logan, maybe breaking up was a mistake.
He's helped me through a lot of things in the past. Maybe he could also help me get over Duncan. I had feelings for Duncan, but I guess they weren't real, not like what I feel for Logan. I have to get back with him.
'Veronica? Veronica?'
'What? Oh sorry, Wallace. What were you saying?'
'Mac and Cassidy, remember you started the conversation. How you thought she was trying to make Dick jealous, ringing any bells?'
'Oh right. You agree though.' She looked towards where Mac and Cassidy were discussing plans for prom.
'Yeah, but I wouldn't say anything to her. Just leave it for a while she'll realise she's being stupid. By the way have you found out anything new about the bus crash?'
'Not much. It's still a big mystery. But I was thinking seeing as I have no one to go with next week I would do a little more digging. I'll find out who did it. Don't worry.'
'You should go. It doesn't matter if you're dateless. It's like a statement, right.'
'That's me good old Veronica, making statements.'
'What have we told you about snapping at people?' a familiar voice came from behind, it was Logan.
She didn't turn round but made eye contact with Wallace, telling him to leave. He got up giving Logan a sharp look.
'Are you gonna to talk to me? Or are we meant to hate each other?' he said.
'Yeah, I've been thinking about that.'
'Oh, really?' He laughed.
'Shush, I have to say this. I really want us to get back together but I want to take it slow. It's not been long since Duncan left and he was you're best friend and my boyfriend. I just wanted to make it clear that I don't feel the same way about Duncan as I do about you but it still kinda hurts. Y'know?'
'Yeah I understand.' He smiled, he couldn't help it. He stroked her face gently.
'Do you want to go to prom with me then?' he asked.
'Sure. I have a few things to do, about the bus crash, though. It's really important to me. You can come if you want.'
'Okay, you sure you want me to come? All I want is for you to be happy; we'll take it as slow as you want. I really want us to work.' He smiled.
'Thanks Logan. I really appreciate you understand.' She pecked him on the lips and walked into the school building.
'Hey, bro. Have you seen what my dork brother has done?! Well I'll tell you!
He stole my girl, man! He stole my Mackie.' he whispered the last part so that only Logan could hear.
'Dude, you've got to stop mopping. She's only trying to make you jealous. Give it time wait until she sees you in your awesome tux, she won't be able to keep her hands off of you.'
'You're surprisingly right. Thanks, bro! What's got you all happy?'
'Veronica. We're back together.' He said exitedly.
'Yeah, see you later dude. I got to go.' Dick said uncomfortably.
'Bye! Don't forget to get that awesome tux though!'
He smiled as Dick waved a hand in the air dismissing his comment. Let's face it he wasn't the most organised person in the world.
I hope I can work this out with Veronica. The trouble is she always expects me to change and it's hard. We're both so stubborn it's really a wonder how we've got this far. I guess you really can't be true love…
