A/N: Thanks everyone! Like I've said, this chapter is a lot shorter than the last one. That was the longest chapter I have to date. Including the, I think, 10 chapters of the sequel I've already written. If you guys want, I'll try to make the chapters I've yet to write closer to that length. Or is that a bit too long? In the sequel I've made sure they all at least have a little bit of a 4th Microsoft Word page Times New Roman font size 12. Oh and this chapter puts me over 40,000 words! Yay! Also, there's only 10 chapters left after this one! Like I said above, I only have 10 chapters so far of the sequel so I probably won't be able to post it as fast. I'll probably start posting it before I finish it but I might wait a little after I finish this. Onto my oh-so fabulous reviewers!

Chapter 30
Logan and Dana walked the rest of the way back to the PCA campus in silence. They climbed the fence in silence, with the exception of Dana mumbling, "Help me up." Logan hated this silence with a passion. He remembered when they'd left, and how much fun they'd been having and how great they'd been getting along.
Logan suddenly stopped and grabbed Dana's arm. "Your first task," he announced. "Your first task is to come with me back over the fence and away from the campus. This is terrible. We had such a good time yesterday. I can't let it end on a bad note. It's worth…$50."
"$50? Logan, that's half the money I owe you! It's only one task!" Dana protested, although Logan wasn't sure why.
"Fine. How's $20?" he suggested.
"You're running this thing, not me," Dana commented, contrary to her previous statement.
Logan smiled. "We'll do $20. This is important to me," he declared.
Dana hesitated. "What happened to 'We have to be extra careful today.'?" she questioned.
"It'll be worth the risk. To me at least. I'll make sure you don't get in trouble at all if we get caught," Logan assured her.
Dana was touched. "Lets go," she agreed.
Nicole ripped out the final page of her and Adam Mason in her notebook, as quietly as possible. She crumpled it up and stuffed it in her bag along with the others. Ready to start anew, she took out her new pink pen and began to write.

Nicole made a mental note to look for Ben today. This time she was sure that she was truly in love.
Dana and Logan successfully snuck back off campus so they could sneak back on, on a happier note. It was silly and foolish and probably really stupid, but neither of them cared.
Once they'd reached the spot where the silence had previously begun, they stopped. "Now what?" Dana asked.
Logan hesitated. "Can I…kiss you?" he suggested.
Dana almost burst out laughing. It was so un-Logan. He was nervous, he was asking to kiss her…he was being so sweet. Dana smiled. Now it was her turn to be very un-Dana. "Of course," she answered.
Logan smiled too. They kissed. It wasn't making out, just a kiss. No tongues or anything further. Maybe they should try to not be like their usual selves more often. Finally, they both pulled away regretfully, knowing they had to get back to PCA.
"Now what?" Dana repeated her question from earlier.
"Now, unfortunately, we have to get back," Logan told her.
Dana sighed but they started walking. "I didn't want yesterday to end, but it did, but now I don't want today to end," she remarked.
Logan grinned. "Who says it has to? We'll sneak back on campus, sneak up to my dorm, and let this day continue," he announced.
Dana grinned, knowing full well that Logan had a make out session in mind. "Remember what you said to me yesterday before you we left PCA? Before you called for the limo? When we were still in the planning stages?" she questioned suddenly.
"I think I said more than one thing," Logan joked.
Dana smiled and rolled her eyes. "You came up with the idea of going to Beverly Hills in a limo all day and I said, 'Logan, that's the best idea you've had since I've met you.' Then you replied, 'They can only get better.'," she reminded him.
"Didn't I actually say, 'They can only get better, honey.'?" Logan provoked.
Dana ignored him. "Well, I have to admit, you've been having a lot of good ideas lately," she informed him.
Logan grinned. "I knew you'd agree with me, cupcake," he teased.
"Wow, it's the fence," Dana realized suddenly. They'd already walked the way back.
Logan put his arms around Dana's waist and leaned in towards her ear. "Ready?" he whispered.
As expected, chills ran up Dana's spine. They were so close, she wouldn't have been surprised if Logan had felt her chills. Dana swallowed and nodded her head. Logan lifted her up and she pulled herself over the fence once again. Soon Logan was over as well and they began walking towards the boy's dorm.
They'd taken very few steps when Dana thought she heard a faint ringing sound. Her eyes widened as she stopped and took out her phone. Just like she thought, everyone was switching classes now. "What do we do?" she inquired.
Logan thought it over. It would be possible for them to just go and blend in with their classmates…except they didn't have any of their book. And what about when people saw them there, then they didn't come to class? Or they saw them there, and knew they hadn't been there for first period?
Logan glanced around. "Hide!" he hissed, pulling Dana down behind a nearby bush.
"Deja vou," she muttered, recalling how when they had snuck off campus yesterday, Logan had pulled them into a bush. Although, it had been just for fun then. This time they really did need to hide.
After a few minutes of laying their, dead silent, Dana took out her phone and checked the time again. Anyone who wasn't in class by now would be getting a detention. "It's safe," she mumbled.
Logan sat up, but instead of getting up, he surprised Dana, and kissed her. Unlike the last time, this was most definitely a make out session. Logan held himself over her and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him closer. He began to kiss her neck, and Dana felt herself start to lose all control. Then she felt Logan's hand making it's way up her shirt. That brought her back down to earth.
Dana shoved him off of her, hard. Logan, unprepared, was thrown off onto the dirt. "You jerk!" Dana screeched, fixing her shirt and standing up.
"Dana–" Logan began, but Dana didn't want to hear it.
"Of all the stupid, disgusting, and…and…jerk-like things to do!" she shouted.
"Dana–" Logan tried again, standing up.
"I can't believe I was actually trusting you! I can't believe I was willing to be around you! I can't believe I actually like–" Dana quickly shut her mouth.
Logan mentally kicked himself. She really had liked him. And he blew it. "I'm sorry," he told her honestly. No teasing remarks or arrogant comments about her liking him. Just a plain, straightforward apology. "I'm sorry," he continued, "and I wish that you'll give me another chance." Dana opened her mouth to say something but Logan quickly exclaimed, "Let me finish! I…" Logan took a deep breath before pressing on, "I really like you Dana. And I shouldn't have tried that. And I should've known better than to try things like that on you. And I shouldn't have done it. And I'm really, truly sorry. And not just because I probably just blew all chances of you ever giving me a chance, although that is a reason. But also…I do feel bad Dana. So, I'm sorry. And…I'll leave now."
Dana was speechless. Thoughts were rushing through her head but she couldn't grab a hold of them. Finally, one thought was loud and clear in her mind, I'm completely falling for Logan Reese. Yeah, it scared her. It scared the hell out of her. But this time she didn't run from it. As Logan turned to walk away, Dana grabbed his arm and pulled him into a kiss. "Apology accepted," she murmured before kissing him again.
A/N: Yay! lol. Logan was really sweet this chapter. I'm glad Dana forgave him. Next chapter is pretty close in length to this one I think. Some good Dana and Logan stuff too. I'll post the next chapter after I get at least 5 reviews. Thanks! Bye!
