The BSC Legacy – Book 2: Student Stratifications

2: Two Different Worlds Passing By In The Night...

Kerry:

I thought I wouldn't be seeing Mary Anne again after she and Logan broke up last April, but here she was baby-sitting me and my brother. It was good seeing her again.
"How do you like SMS?" she asked as we had a snack together.
"It's neat," I told her. "I like being in middle school." I wondered if it was strange for her being in her ex-boyfriend's house.
"Are you and Logan still mad at each other?" Hunter asked.
"Hunter!" I looked down at him.
"No..." Mary Anne hesitated a minute. "It was...we had different personalities that made staying boyfriend and girlfriend hard."
I steered my brother into a game to keep him from asked too many personal questions about my older brother and Mary Anne. Logan didn't tell me too much about the breakup, but I knew it was really painful for both of them and they'd both cried. Mom came home about an hour later and paid Mary Anne.
"Kerry...Hunter, I'm going now, so good-bye..." she leaned closer to us. Just then, Logan came in too. A strange look came in his blue eyes when he saw Mary Anne.
"Hello, Mary Anne..." he finally said in a very polite voice.
"Hello, Logan," Mary Anne's voice came out low, but also polite. They stared at each other for a long minute, then Logan looked over at Mom headed to the kitchen as if he were asking What's she doing here? Mary Anne's brows drew together in a nervous frown, a small vertical line appearing between them. Then suddenly she put her arms out. Hunter and I knew just then that this would most likely be the last time we'd see her. We ran into her arms and she hugged us perhaps for one last time. "Good-bye, darlings...take care of yourselves and each other," she whispered, then stood up quickly, waved at us, grabbed her purse, then left without looking at Logan again. I got the feeling she was uncomfortable and couldn't wait to get out of the house. Logan stared after her a long minute, then looked over at us, then headed upstairs, muttering something under his breath. Good thing Dad wasn't home yet; I knew he'd never been crazy about Mary Anne. Hunter and I stood, then went into the kitchen to help Mom put away some things.

Mary Anne:

Why did I let myself be wheedled into baby-sitting my ex-boyfriend's younger siblings? I wondered as I biked through the brisk fall sunshine on my way to the BSC meeting. I should have asked Ms. Bruno when Logan was coming back from football practice, so I could scram before he got there. No, that's silly, I told myself. Sure, things were really awkward between us, but I'd be damned if I spent the rest of high school dodging Logan. I'd just have to learn how to deal with that awkwardness. Our relationship had been good while it lasted, but by April of last year, we both knew it was over for good. We couldn't even really be friends; our values were too incompatible. It had been good, though, seeing Kerry and Hunter again. As I got to Claudia's house, I shuddered when I realized that I was relieved that Logan's dad hadn't been there yet. I know he was never too fond of me or my family. I often got the feeling that he kind of looked down on me and my family as "lower class" or something.
