The bell rang and they all sighed not looking forward to the last two periods of the day. Veronica and Logan walked into their Freshman Lit class, Veronica took a seat in the middle and Logan took the seat behind her. Veronica surveyed the room her eyes landing on Madison Sinclair. She sent her a smile and was rewarded with a angry scowl.
Madison had a huge crush on Logan, when Veronica and him had started dating Madison stopped talking to Veronica.
"So are we going to all hang out at Logan's again?" Madison asked with a hopeful smile, as she glanced longingly in Logan's direction. The newly thirteen year old seemed oblivious to the looks; however his sister seemed to catch on.
"Actually, Logan and Veronica are going on their date tonight" Gabby said with a smug look directed to the brunette. Madison's smile had morphed into a sour expression as she let the words sink in.
"It is not a date" Veronica said in a small calm voice.
Logan's expression faltered as he heard the words, he was looking forward to this since the moment he first saw her at the ice cream shop.
Veronica caught on to his expression and struggled to find the most reassuring words. "My mom always told me that for it to be a date the boy had to pick the girl up in his car and take her out" Veronica explained.
Logan let out a sigh of relief, "So my parents don't count" he teased.
"Nope" she giggled.
"How about a limo" he asked wiggling his eyebrows.
"Nope, your just going to have to wait until were older mister" she said giving him knee a pat. He laughed while pulling her closer to his side.
"What is going on in that head of yours?" Logan asked, waking Veronica from her thoughts.
"I was just thinking about our date" she said with a smile that was hidden from Logan's view, however he could hear it in her voice.
"Oh really?" he joked.
"Yep, you and me, a movie, dinner, and nice walk on the beach" she said with a grin.
They would talk for hours about their actual first date, they had, had the mini date or faux dates they would call them. But until they were able to accompany the demands of what Veronica's mother had described all they could do was imagine.
"I was thinking a carnival, a corndog, and a teddy bear that says 'I wuv you beary much'." He teased.
"As long as you get it through some ring tossing ability I would say you have yourself a date." She teased back.
"So limos really don't count?" he pleaded.
She just laughed in response as Mr. Wu passed out their first assignment of the year.
"O great yet another 'what I did on my summer vacation' paper" Logan groaned in protest.
"We did have one great summer!" she smiled as the millions of memories filled her head.
"Which one?" he chuckled as he rubbed her shoulders lightly giving them a slight squeeze.
"Both of them" she said looking back into his chocolate brown eyes, and yet again getting lost in their depths. He was the only person who ever had this affect on her and she was just amazed they had only known each other for 2 years.
"So is your dad working tonight?" he whispered after the teacher had shushed them previously.
"Out of town, bail jumper." She said with a shrug. Keith was a respected member of the community and a damned fine sheriff. However lately he had been turning his sights to a separate career, maybe one with a little more spunk and creativity. So he decided to get his toes wet by going after bail jumpers with pretty little price tags on them.
"Still trying to be a Private Dick" he joked.
"Yeah I don't think he wants to fully do it yet, I think he just wants to see what it would be like he likes being sheriff" she said looking down at the assignment page and assessing what she would like to talk about in her paper.
She could talk about the Limo party they had for Lilly's 15th Birthday when they rented out a roller rink and invited everyone they knew. And ended up with some snuck in booze and a back corner. The next morning waking up with hangovers and bruises from wiping out on their roller skates.
She was lucky she was able to pass off her feelings the next morning as eating too much junk food at the party. Her parents taking the excuse as the truth, because to them Veronica was a perfect angel. And she was, well until she met Logan, Gabby, and Lilly, she just laughed at her self thinking 'my god they are bad influences on me.'
"What are you laughing at small fry?" Logan asked leaning in to whisper into her ear, his breath cascading down her neck and sending a shiver through her.
"How good I used to be until I met you" she joked turning around to see his usual mischievous smirk in place.
"Yeah, we do have fun don't we?" he said.
"Yep, the fab five in all their glory" she said turning back to her paper and rummaging through her mind for more memories of the past months.
Or she could write about the time Mr. and Mrs. Echolls took them to Hollywood and they were able to see a real movie set. The girls sneaking off to catch a glimpse of Connor Larkin the hot 17 year old actor with his shirt off. While Logan and Duncan went to spy on the female extras in their skimpy bikinis.
She looked back at Logan who produced a smirk, like he was thinking about the same things.
Maybe she would write about the time her and Logan were making out in his room when Dick and Beaver barged in. They popped off the bed in a guilty fashion causing Beaver to blush and his perverted older brother to make obnoxious remarks the next time they were all together.
She looked up from her seat and looked at Dick who was sitting behind Madison, he looked back at her with a 'I know what you did' grin. She shuddered lightly at the thought and sat back in her seat watching the minutes on the clock move along until the shrill bell rang.
Last period was a bore the same first day of school speeches she had endured for years now. She looked down the hall after school, waiting for Logan. She was startled when a pair of arms wrapped around her middle. She turned around and smiled up at the brown haired boy with blonde frosted tips he begged his mother for when he saw it in a magazine. He was bigger now, he had a major growth spurt over the past year and was now towering over her. His voice had gotten deeper too, she giggled at the memory.
They were sitting on his couch watching old reruns of the Brady Bunch when the episode when Peters voice changes came on. She was laughing hysterically; he just looked at her curiously.
"I do not sound like that" he said his voice hitting a high pitched squeak on the word 'not'. "Oh my god I do sound like that" he said putting his face in his hands in embarrassment.
"Don't worry just think about how sexy your voice will sound afterwards" she said mimicking his move of wiggling her eyebrows.
The new voice made her tingle and made him sound so much more manly and rugged, well worth the squeaks he had to endure.
She had changed too but not too much, she was sad to say that her chest hadn't quite developed as much as she wished it had and she was very self conscious that Logan would leave her for other girls who were better endowed. But then she would shake her head reminding herself that this was Logan and that he wasn't like that, or at least she hoped he wasn't.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked always wanting to know what made her go into those catatonic stares.
"Just how hot your voice is" she joked.
"Better then Peter's?" he asked laughing at the humiliating memory.
"O yeah" she said pulling herself up on her tip toes to give him a kiss.
"O please stop it already!" Lilly said while she and Gabby interrupted the couple.
"Hey guys what's going on?" She asked.
"We are joining pep squad" she announced already taking Veronica's hand and leading her to the journalism class.
"Hey can this get me out of P.E." Veronica asked with a giggle as her friend yanked on her arm again nearly pulling it out of its socket.
