Oh My God! Wait I sound like Nicole. If he finishes reading that entry... oh my god! It says I kinda like him. Him Logan Reese! The one who's actually reading my dariy. I am never going to hear the end of it now! Wait I can't give up just yet. Something has to stop him from reading it -anything. Coco comes though the door. Something to momentarily distract him. Zoey and I reach up again, the book is too high, oh no. He turns the page. Before he can read it Nicole yanks it right out of his hands. "Hey! I was reading that!" Logan says while looking up.

Nicole closes the book. I realise what's happened. It takes me a moment but I get it in the end. He didn't get to read it! Thank God. I hit him on the head with one of my text books. Hard. I had to make sureit him hurt.

"You are so stupid." I scream at him. "I hate you!"

I grab his oh-so-precious hair and drag him to the door, pushing him out. He falls on the floor. 'Good for him' I think. What a jerk!' I turn around to face Zoey and Nicole they're pretty mad as well. I can tell Logan's behaviour's shocked them a little. Nicole gives me the book.

"Hide it well, don't you Dana" Zoey says She 's looking at me with the 'I know' sort of way she usually gives when she doesn't QUITE know.

"What? " I ask her pretending to be as naive and innocent as possible.

"Umm...well it's just that..." Zoey paused again. She looks scared to ask me.

"What did you kinda like?" Nicole yells. Well... at least she broke the awkward silence. Normally I would have just told her 'back off preppy' but I owed her one. After all she did stop Logan finding out about my little 'thing' for him

"Logan. I kinda like Logan." I breathe. "Not any more," I turn my back to them but keep ranting on. "How could he do something like that!" I know I shouldn't be shocked. I mean this has Logan all over. But... I don't know. "It is so rude," I turn to face them again. "Right?" I want them to tell me I'm right. So I can totally be free him.

"Huh?" Nicole asks. I can tell she's picked up on the hesitation in my voice and has put two and two together. "After what he did you still like him?"

"No. It is just... I don't know!" I sigh. "When we were walking together he was so nice and... he was almost sweet. I thought he'd changed." I say while looking to ground almost as though I'm hoping it'll solve my problems. "Maybe I wished he'd changed. Maybe I wished so hard I made myself believe it? Well, I don't like him any more. Maybe I liked what I thought he was or what I thought of him in my dreams?" I admit.

"You dream about him?" Nicole asks me with a small-gasp

I've just realized I told them I dream about Logan. I guess in the heat of the moment I've forgotten tact. I was telling them way too much. Maybe because they are my only friends? No, they are my best friends. I never really had a best friend before and now I have two. They were my complete opposites though. They were both very enegetic, bouncy and peppy. I'm just... not.

"You won't tell anyone about this. Right?" I ask almost nervously.

They're both shocked. If I ever told them anything I wasn't supposed to, I would threaten them into being too scared to tell. I guess I've changed since I came to PCA. Hopefully not too much.

"Of course not," Zoey promises.

"No," Swears Nicole. With that the conversation is over,

I walk to the computer and sign on. He isn't on. I was about to sign off but then he IM's me.

2Cute4U: How u been?
2Cute4U: I miss u
2Bad4U: I've been good and I miss u 2
2Cute4U: Really?
2Bad4U: Maybe...

I can't help but smile. I know I'm teasing him and I know it's cruel but it's also a little flirtatious.

2Cute4U: You are a tease

2Bad4U: Thanx

2Bad4U: I have to ask you sumthing

2Bad4U: It is really important

2Cute4U: What is it?

2Bad4U: Do u want to meet up?

2Cute4U: I don't know

2Bad4U: If u don't want us to meet what is the point of us talking?

2Cute4U: Fine

2Bad4U: 2morrow

2Cute4U: What?

2Bad4U: Come on don't be shy

2Bad4U: Please. If you don't I am going to cry

2Cute4U: Fine, fine.

2Cute4U: Wait I have to tell you something...

The IM didn't go through... 2Bad4U is currently not signed on.

I get off the computer and get ready for bed. I put on my black shorts and black tanktop. I like black... suits me. I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth. When I (finally) come out Nicole and Zoey are in the middle of the room talking. I never used to join in with their nighttime chat but today is a different day. I sit down beside them and cross my legs.

"Umm...Zoey, so what is up with you and Chase?" I wanted to know so badly. I've never had an urge for gossip. I'm not one of those girls. But I don't know. Maybe it's because they're my friends.

"That was what I was just going to ask her," Nicole giggles. Oh dear. I'm on the same wave length as Nicole!

"Umm... after we kissed... we talked for a little bit. He told me that he always liked me. I never thought he did," Zoey began but got cut off me.
"Where were you the whole school year! He's liked you forever and anyone and everyone would have told you... Which we did," I add rudely.

"No," Zoey snaps adamantly. I can tell she doesn't want to believe that something this big has been staring her in the face the whole time. Whistling merrily along under her perfect little nose.

"It is true, Zo" Nicole says taking my side which is a first. It's usually Zoey and Nicole ganging up on me.

"Well I'm going to finish the story anyway... and that's not true," Zoey says. I can tell she's a little put out at being argued with.

I just roll my eyes.

"Then I told him I liked him too... and you should've seen his eyes! They just shot up and sparkled. He had the biggest smile I've ever seen," Zoey says giggling whilst remebering what had happened earlier that day when we weren't around. "Then he took me into his arms and kissed me..." She pauses and blushes a deep scarlet. "It was perfect."

"Sounds perfect, " Nicole says, dreamily.

"No it doesn't," I wasn't being mean or anything it just doesn't sound perfect to me.

"Really and how would it be perect?" Zoey says looking away from me but I can tell she's mad at me. That was her perfect kiss and I was insulting it.

"Well," I say sounding like I know it all. "...a perfect kiss would be in the rain. When your hair is a mess your make-up is running down your face. Then you kiss in the rain. You look horrible... feel horrible too but once your lips meet all of that is gone. For that split-second in time it seems like the earth has paused just for you and him. When you pull apart you hear everything, the rain falling, his breath is your face, the wind everything. Then you are happy again and all the your problems are gone. You're just stood there looking at each other... entwined in each other arms, smiling at him. Then he tells you that you look beautiful. You know you don't because of the rain... but, to him you're always beautiful," my eyes were closed while I pictured this. It all seems really romantic and mushy for me to say.

I didn't even know where this came from. I guess my dreams about Logan and I. I can't believe I just told these preppy girls this. This is one of the biggest secrets I posess. I open my eyes to see them with their eyes widened. They look shocked. I guess they never never thought I could have thought that up. I'm surprised at it myself.

"Dana that sound wonderful," Zoey says... her eyes glittering. I think she wants to kidnap Chase during the next rainstorm.

"Yeah, but I am not sure about the make-up runnimg down my face and all," Nicole think about it deeply. She doesn't seem to realise that the rain makes it romantic.

"Whatever," I roll my eyes.

"So..." Zoey drawls with a mischeivous glint in her eyes. "Have you spoken to that boy again?" she asks.

"No," I lie. I may be opening up. But they don't need to know everything that goes on in my life!
