It was difficult that night, my eyes seemed to wonder over to Logan and then they rested there, examining every inch of his face just to see whether they could identify what was going on in his head. I fiddled with my brown curls, alone in one part of the room, as now I seemed to be the isolated one. To my surprise however, I noticed Zack get up from his conversation with Brinn, who I have noticed have become very close, and walk over to me.
"What's going on?" he asked in his normal, straight to the point way.
"What do you mean?"
"You've staring at Logan all night" his mouth was set in a frown as he lent against the wall next to me.
"It's nothing important Zack"
Zack was about to push some more but the Queen of Ice walked in. Jace had been extremely quiet recently, more then usual and her arrival prompted us to break up the private conversations we had been having. Brinn and Zack walked down the hall together, and I followed them. You can't blame me for being interested in a friend, can you?
I hide partially behind the doorframe and listened to the conversation. It was mostly idle chitchat, but even I could sense there was a growing tension between them. Suddenly they were quiet, for a moment I thought that they had discovered that I was eavesdropping, but as I peeked around the side I saw them holding each other, eyes closed and I witnessed them bring their lips up to each other, and they kissed.
The Manticore in me said to report this violation, but then the sister in me spoke up for the first time in a while to say that staying out of this was a good idea. I looked around the edge of the room for cameras, but none were on as Brinn and Zack were together, they kissed slowly and to my surprise a jealousy sprung up inside me…so I left them.
That night most of us were outside, however it looked like Brinn and Zack were exploring their newly found 'friendship' so they were no where to be seen.
Logan, Den and I sat in Manticore forest, something we hadn't done for a few years. Lying on our backs we stared up at the stars in the sky, listening to the last birds fly down and nest in a tree above.
"Do you remember the day when we had to hunt down that convict in the woods?" Dennis whispered. His light blonde-brown hair was lying in the mud, but he didn't seem to care. Although I was careful not to get dirty, I rolled over toward Logan who was lying in the middle to quickly look at his face before rolling back over again.
"Cindy, I wish you'd stop doing that!" He said, putting a smile on his face. He rubbed the slight stubble that had grown up over the years, and sat up shake the dirt off his back.
"Sorry, I get uncomfortable!"
"No, I mean looking at me!"
I blushed, but to hide it I got up and dusted myself down. Dennis tried to grab at my foot, and ended up tripping me up. I rolled over, only to be pinned down by Logan.
"Are you going to tell me?" He teased, and I resisted the temptation to…well, I just pushed him off and walked out of the forest. Dennis asked me where I was going, so to keep him off my back I yelled something about my nails being mucky and ran off.
"What's going on?" he asked in his normal, straight to the point way.
"What do you mean?"
