Genny was as excited to tell Lisa as she thought she would be. If anything, Lisa was more excited than she was. She couldn't seem to figure out why, either. She was more than happy to be with Kendall, but something was leaving her hesitant about the whole thing.

"Why aren't you rejoicing and jumping for joy?" Lisa asked. "I thought you'd be more excited about this. You've liked him to a really long time."

Genny shrugged. She didn't have a clue.


Genny found herself at Logan's place later that day. He had invited her over, because he needed someone to talk to about his situation.

The two were in his bedroom. She was sitting on his computer chair, facing him. He was lying on his bed, arms and legs sprawled out and he was staring at the ceiling.

Before finally speaking, Logan sighed. "At least your love life is working out well," Logan said in a monotone voice. His face had a blank expression. He lied there, limp and unmoving. "Cupid is on your side." He shook his head and frowned.

Genny frowned at the sight of one of her good friends upset. She had never seen him in such a state before, and she felt bad for the boy. "Logan, everything happens for a reason," she said. She did her best to reassure him that everything would be just fine.

"So, what? I meet the girl, fall in love with her, we grow apart and she leaves me for that Michael guy?" He scowled at the thought of his ex-girlfriend being with someone else. "What does he have that I don't?"

"You guys live 3,000 miles away from each other..."

"So did you and Kendall!"

"Did."

Logan didn't say anything afterwards.

"No wonder Lisa doesn't like you," Genny simply said while shaking her head and rolling her eyes.

"What?" he shot up in his bed and looked at Genny. "When the hell did she say that?"

She stared at him for a bit before responding. She couldn't believe it took her saying something about someone's opinion on him for him to do something other than lying lifeless in his bed. "The other day," Genny continued. "I guess you just left a bad first impression on her." Before continuing, she got up from the computer chair and walked over to him. "That doesn't matter, though. Seriously, let's do something." She grabbed his arm and started pulling him off of the bed. "There is an Xbox 360 system waiting for me in your living room and I know you have Left 4 Dead 2."

"I don't want to kill zombies," he said, resisting her pull.

"You can pretend they're all that Michael guy," Genny suggested. Logan was quick to get up and was out of the room before she was.


While Genny was gone at Logan's, Lisa couldn't help but think about her best friend. Why didn't she seem happy? She decided to give Kendall a call to ask him exactly what went down. It wasn't that she didn't believe what Genny had told her, she just wanted to know what Kendall had to say.

When Kendall picked up, Lisa explained to him why she was calling and what she was thinking. He found it to be a bit off; Genny didn't seem distant whenever he spent time with her. However, he understood that Lisa cared for her friend and only wanted the best for her.

"Well," Kendall began to say. He was thinking about the possible reasons and only one came to mind. "Age difference, maybe?"

"I doubt it," Lisa responded. "There's no way. I don't know... I'm sorry, I don't mean to be ruining anything or saying that you're a bad person. I just want to know why she seems so down. I... I don't want a repeat of what happened a few months ago."

Kendall didn't want a repeat of that, either. "No, don't worry about it, Lisa," Kendall continued. "I would do the same. If you find anything out, could you let me know?"

She agreed and the two hung up the phone. That's when it hit Lisa. She didn't want a repeat of what happened earlier that year, before she and Genny graduated high school. She came to a realization that Genny was hung up on what happened. Maybe she wasn't over her ex-boyfriend.

And that was the catch.
