Today was Saturday, and I didn't feel like goin to the carnival. I had to do the dumb kissing booth, so yeah I wasn't too excited about that, but I had promised Zoey that I would do it, so I was gonna do it.
It was around ten when I got there to set up. Fortunatly someone had alraedy done it, so I didn't have to. The carnibal started atound twelve, and I already had a huge line. I laughed at some of the guys that were in ithe line. You konw, like Swayer and Tim. I saw Nick in line, and that made me just a little nervous because I hadn't talked to him all week. Logan wasn't at his booth, so there were a whole bunch of impatien girls waitin in line for him.
I was just doin my job when the line finally got to Nick.
"So, what kind of kiss does your boyfriend get?" he questioned me. I looked at him oddly. I thought that we would for sure be broken up after what I had told him.
"I don't think that we should go out anymore." I told him . Like I said when I moved away, I wanted to start all over. Kind of like a clean slated. You know?
"Why not?" Swayer questioned. I hated this! Sawyer was always in the middle of all of my buisness. I was use to it though.
"You guys I really don't want to talk about this right here!" I told them.
"Alright, we're gonna talk about this aftwards, but we still get our kisses.
"That would be 50 cents each. " I told them with a smile on my face. They all payed and got their kisses.
Logan had finally went over to his kissing booth, and was slowly makin progress. Why did they have to have Logan do the kissing booth. Not that I'm jealous or aything. I mean, I haven't even heard from Logan ever since that note. So you know why would I really be worried about what he was doin?
Logan inturuped my thoughts by lookin at me. We both just kinda started at eachother until this guy said somethin to me. It was Chris.
"So...if I give you an extra 50 cents can I get a french kiss with a little bit of tounge?" he questioned as he put the creepy grin on his face. Just his being there mad Dana feel uncomfortable.
"You can't get a thing from me!" Dana yelled.
"You know what, that's fine, but I'm gonna remember this." he told her as he walked away. I think Logan saw him because he ran over to my and cut in line.
"Hey Logan come on man!" Sawyer yelled. He was in line again, but this time by himself.
"You've got quite a line here." Logan told me once he got to the front of the line.
"I can say the same for you." I told him.
"What was he doin here?" Logan quesitoned me about Chris.
"I don't know, and I really don't care, he can't hurt me anymore." I told Logan. And that's truly how I felt.
"Dude move, it's my turn and you're takin to long."
"Hey I know you! You're Ricky from the store. Rember in 'Expressions'?" Logan questioned.
"Oh yeah, I remember that, but that doesn't mean that I don't want a kiss from your girlfriend there."
"She's not my girlfriend." Logan explained.
"Oh yeah, I forgot,but you guys are like always together." he commented.
"Not always." Logan told him honestly.
"Logan, you might want to get back to your line, the people are startin to look a little anxious." I said as I laughed.
"Hold up." he said as he started to search his pockets. "There." he said as he slammed 50 cents on my table.
I took a deep breath. I really didn't want to kiss Logan right now. Not here in front of all of these people.
"Come on, I'm a paying cosumer." Logan rushed. He was so cute when he was tryin to be funny. Wait! I didn't say that! Logan's never cute.
I leaned in to give him a quick peack on the lips, but for some reason once I kissed him it didn't end. We both just kinda should there in a lip lock for a long time. We finally seperated and just looked at eachother, He walked back to his kissing booth.
"It's about time." Ricky said after Logan left. He payed his money and I went to kiss him and I couldn't. I had this stupid feeling in the pit of my stomache, and I wanted it to go away. It wasn't cool. Logan wasn't suppose to be able to do this to me. I don't like it at all. I leaned in to give Ricky a kiss, but I kept pullin away. I gave him back his money and told everyone that the kissing booth was closed. Zoey was gonna kill me for doin that,but I had too.
"What's wrong D?" Sawyer came and questioned me once everybody else left.
"I don't know." I answered truthfully.
"Is it Logan?" he quesioned my puzzled.
"I don't think so." I answered. I sounded half confused myself.
"Is it true?"
"What?" I asked him . I had no idea what he was talkin about.
"That you're movin next Sunday." he responded.
"Where did you hear that from?" I asked anxously.
"Zoey told me."
"Yeah it is, but don't tell anyone. Please don't, I'm not rady for people to know yet."
"That's cool, but how come Zoey told if you didn't want anyone to know?" he questioned
"I'm not sure." I told him honestly.
"Well, I have to go, but you get to feelin better. Can I give you a little piece of advice?"
"Sure." I answered.
"Go and talk to Logan. I know that Nick still wants to go out with you, but Logan's been so annoyin latly. He doesn't want to do anything with the guys. He just kinda sits there and gets on the computer hopin that you're on. It's actually pretty sad."
"Yeah right Logan is not depressed over me." I told him.
"You don't have to belive me, I'm just tellin you what I know." he said as he left. He left leavin me witha lot to think about. I looked at my watched and realized that it was time to go and do the sing for fling compettition. I was gonna announce that I was qutittin after my song.
"Hye Dana I was startin to get worried that you weren't gonna show." Zoey comented as I got there.
"I want to go last becuase I'm gonna announce to everyone that I'm not gonna be in the competttion anymore." I told her.
"Isn't there a way that if you won, we could have you fly back just for that. It's gonna be on a Saturday. Please, please, please."
"Alright if I win, I'll come back just for that, but that's it." I told her.
"Thanks." Zoey said. I wanted to ask her why she had told Sawyer that I was movin, but I didn't ask.
Zoey and Heather had already sung, and now it was my turn. I looked out of the curtain and I saw everyone standing out there just watitn. I walked out and everyone amidiatly started sreamin. I just laughed. I picked a slow song for todays competition. The music to "And I" by Ciarra began.
I don't need me a basketball playa,
all I need is somebody that's down for me.
And he don't have to have money,
his love is just like honey it's so sweet to me.
He can have everything in this world,
but he'll sacrifice it all for me.
And I made up my mind I'm in love this time,
and it feels so real...
And I: know that he won't break my heart.
And I: know that we won't ever part.
It's time: time for us to settle down.
And I:Wnat to be with him forever.
They can say that I am crazy for makin him my baby,
but that's how it's gonna be.
See I've done been through many changes but this one I ain't changin,
It's gonna stay the same.
I can have everything in this world,
but I'll sacrifice it all for him.
And I made up my mind I'm in love this time,
and it...it feels so real...
And I: Know that he won't break my heart.
And I: kno wthat we won't ever part.
It's time: time for us to settle down.
And I: want to be with him forever.
I love you: and all of things that...
You do: oh baby please...
I need you: i need you, so belive me...
I do: I do
Cause I love you: I love you, and every little thing baby...
You do: Ohhhh
They don't know how I feel,
cause I know this is real.
And
I: know that he won't break my heart.
And I : know that we won't
ever part.
It's time: time for us to settle down.
And I: want to be with him forever. (2x)
When the song was over everyone clapped and I walked off of stage.
"That was great Dana." Zoey told me.
"Thanks." I told her as I walked away.
"Where are you goin?" Zoey questioend me.
"Back to my kissin booth." I told her. She left as I left.
On my way back, I got tons of complements about my performance.
Once I got there I noticed that Logan wasn't there. I began to wonder where he could have went off to. I was startin to think about what Sawyer had said. But wouldn't it just be easier to just leave America with no problems or open books? Suddenly someone put their hand on my shoulder. I jumped but quickly realized that it was Logan. Why was he talkin to me today?
"Hi." I said a little nervously.
"You did a great job." he told me as he sat down on the table.
"You're gonna ruin the decorations." I told him with a hint of laughter in my voice.
"Oh well." he said. I just laughed at him.
"You never said thank you." he told me.
"Huh?" I questioned him.
"I told you that you did a great job." he explained.
"At what?" I asked confused.
"Singin."
"Oh." I said. I suddenly felt so stupid. "Thank you." I said. Logan just laughed at me.
"What are you doin after this?" he questioned me.
"I'm gonna go home and crash out." I lied. I was really planin on goin to my spot on beach, but I wasn't gonna tell him that.
"That sounds pretty eventful. So...how come you told Nick that you guys probably shouldn't date?" he asked. I didn't know how to answer. I didn't want to let him know that I was movin, but I didn't want him to think that I did iti because of him either.
"I don't know, for some reason, I just think that I'm tired of him being so perfect. I mean, I don't want someone who's so perfect." I told him. It wasn't exactly a lie becuase I really did feel like that. I mean, why would I want someone who was so perfect. I would feel like I had to constantly live up to that.
"I'm not perfect." he commented as he walked over to his booth. He began to put all of his stuff up. I followed hiis example. For a mintute I felt his gaze on me. I looked up, but right when I looked, he continued what he was doin. As put all of my stuff away, I was in deep thoguth about Logan. Last weekend and this past week were all that kept runnin through my mind. Even the fact that I was gonna be leaving kept runnin through my mind. I mean, who was I gonna meet and hang out with. How was I really gonna start all over? Would it really be good for me?
"Wow girl you did great!" my best friend Ruthie told me. I decided right there and then that I was gonna tell her that I was gonna move next Sunday. I mean, she deserved to know.
"Thanks, umm...can I talk to you for a second?" I questioned her.
"Sure." she responded.
"I need to tell you something, and I'm sorry that it took me so long to tell you, but I was having a hard tellin people that I was movin." I accidently said. I didn't want the fact that I was movin to slip out.
"You're what!" she quesitoned.
"Next Sunday I'm movin to Paris. I'm gonna attend an art school there." I told her.
"Next Sunday you're movin to Paris?" she quesitoned. She pretty much yelled it. And Logan heard because I saw him look up in worry.
"Yeah." I answered in defeat.
"Wow, thanks for telin me now." she said in sarcasim. "I mean, don't you think that you could have told me a little earlier?"
"I'm sorry." I todl her. I couldn't belive this.
"You should be." she told me as she walked away.
I looked up to see Logan just shakin his head in dissaproval, and then he walked away. I felt horrible because imean this wasn't suppose to happen. It wasn't suppose to be like this. I knew that i would care what Ruthie thought about it, but I didn't know that I would worry about Logan. For some reason the fact that he was mad at me hurt.
