AHHH there's another spoiler for the first scene of Donut Run in here. And I TOTALLY agree with Logan's last line. That's my view, right there.

Alllright, so FF decided it'd italicize whatever the f it wants to italicize in the last chapter, so lets see if it does it again! Lol thanks for the hits and the REVIEW! Lol, if you view it... can ya just drop a review for me? And FanFicFairy... tell me if I surprised you. I didn't know who was gonna be at the door... I wanted it to be slightly different.

Here goes!

NEED A BREAK CH. 2

Bad Boyfriend

"If you were thinking that this would make a positive impact on my day, you were sorely mistaken." Veronica said, looking at her hands as the warm water ran over them, instead at the interruption.

"Aw come on, Ronnie... I've never been in the girls' bathroom before." Dick Casablancas looked around and nodded in approval.

"Come on, Dick, what do you want?" Veronica asked shortly, turning to face him after she disposed of her paper towel.

"Oh please, that little display of public humiliation out there? I had to come find you and-"

"Just STOP. Okay?" She cut him off and put up a hand. "How 'bout you go find something more productive to do with your spare time? And-... Stop calling me 'Ronnie'." She finished and brushed past him, the left the restroom after kicking the doorstop out of the way.

Dick grinned and walked out behind her and observed as people started murmuring.

"She certainly gets around fast."

"Didn't Kane just dump her like five minutes ago?"

Veronica set her jaw and made her way to Journalism, though slightly hesitantly, as Duncan was in this class. Now all she wanted to do was decide if she wanted to play the pissed off card, or mix it up and throw 'unaffected' into the mix.

When Veronica reached the door to her classroom, she still hadn't decided, and since the warning bell hadn't rung, she stopped and pretended to read a few bulletins that were posted.

"Ya' know, they're the same as they were last week, when you posted them."

Veronica closed her eyes briefly before choosing which card she was going to deal. "Yeah," She said and turned. "I just like admiring my work."

"Veronica Mars, what a big head you have." Logan said in a high-pitched voice.

"You're just full of fairytales, aren't you?"

She had to run and stick her hands in the way of the elevator doors to get them to reopen for her, but then almost instantly regretted it. Logan gave her a very 'Logan' type of look and, knowing that she couldn't just turn around and say 'Never mind', she got onto the elevator and crossed her arms.

She was perfectly lift to the penthouse in perfect silence, but Echolls felt the need to interact.

"Hi, ho."

Taking a second to ponder whether or not she wanted to merit that with an answer, she turned slightly to ask, "What did you say?"

"Your uniform. Hi-ho, it's off to work we go." He answered as if he were the most innocent person on the planet.

Veronica looked back to the doors of the elevator and smiled ruefully. "I guess that would make me Snow White."

"Well, what can I say?" Logan started, opening the door to the room for Veronica to enter. "It's been a very 'Disney' week."

Veronica gave a mock snort and walked into the classroom, but not without adding, in a very false, happy tone, "For you, maybe."

To Veronica's delight, Duncan wasn't in the room yet, but the warning bell has just rung, so he was bound to come barging in within seconds, so she quickly made her way to her normal seat, which was typically next to him. She sat down with a smug smile, knowing she wouldn't be the one forced to find a different seat.

Veronica pulled out her camera and her portfolio before slouching and sticking the end of her pen in her mouth, looking extra settled in as she heard the door open, expecting Duncan.

"Alright, guys," Ms. Guiese, the latest replacement for Mrs. Dent, said and set a large stack of documents on the table. "We're going to do something a little different today." She straightened and used her finger to count the students; her way of taking attendance. "Missing two, who's missing?" She muttered to herself. "Duncan and Dick..." She walked over to her computer to enter the absences.

"Okay, so we're going to look at these..."

Logan, not patient enough to wait for Ms. Guiese to finish, leaned over to Veronica and whispered, "So is Boy Wonder not here because you already handed his ass to him?"

"I take it you haven't talked to Dick." She said lowly, adding a sharp emphasis to the boy's name.

"Guys, hold on," The teacher reprimanded. "I'm almost done explaining and then you can talk all you want."

It was probably harder for Clemmons to find a replacement for the periodical classes than it was to console the parents after the crash. No clear-minded substitute would accept the job, knowing that so many kids had died, and that the ones left over were probably going to be affected as well. But Ms. Guiese, a young blonde Guidance-Counselor-hopeful, agreed to take the classes.

She was just about done explaining the collage-type assignment when Dick slapped the door open loudly, and walked in with a large Dick-grin. "So I got the coolest story." He boomed, ignoring the teacher yelling at him.

"Apparently Duncan didn't go to his first class, which, I mean, is just useless... Why come to school if you're going to ditch first period?"

"Dick, take a seat and-"

"No no, you'll enjoy this." Dick said with a sideways glance at the teacher, who started to talk again, but was ignored. "So he left and hasn't been back, but I heard a cop outside in the parking lot put out a warning for the boarder checks for a dude matching DK's mug and a baby."

"Heading for Mexico..." Logan observed, slightly bemused. "Hasn't he tried that before?"
