Neptune: After Duncan Left

One more Chance

Fingering the love pendant that Logan had given her wasn't the smartest idea while walking in the hallway.

"Omph. Oh shoot, I'm so sor-." Veronica said as she slowly began to take in who was in front of her.

It was the sight of Troy Vandergraff that caused Veronica to leave her sentence unfinished.

Oh great, Veronica thought as she stepped around him and started walking away.

"I've changed you know…"

Veronica stopped. Wow, that one hit hard.

"Prove it." Veronica said, staring right at him.

"I can't if you're not going to give me a chance."

Logan walked in to the school. There was his blonde love of his life! Wait… Who was that? Troy Vandergraff?

He was slowly approaching them but his pace quickened as he saw Troy step closer to her.

"I don't want to jump into anything Veronica, I just want to fix things." Troy said with much sincerity.

Veronica thought hard about it. Everyone deserved a second chance.

"What did you have in mind?" Veronica asked.

Troy grinned making Veronica grin as well.

Oh gosh, this isn't good, Logan thought as he saw their interactions.

"How about we hang out at the dance? For a friendly outing?" Troy asked.

Logan heard Troy ask Veronica. The DANCE? He was going to ask Veronica to go with him today. He walked up to them

There's nothing wrong with two friends going to the dance together! No. Nothing at all. Plus, Logan was never going to ask her, so, why even try? Veronica thought in her head.

She slowly convinced herself that it wasn't a date but just two friends hanging out.

Logan heard Troy ask Veronica. The DANCE? He was going to ask Veronica to go with him today. He walked up to them but it was to late. All he heard was.

Veronica nodded, "Why not?"

"Awesome, I'll pick you up at 8 tomorrow then." Troy smiled then walked away.

Veronica forced a smile then turned on her heel, only to see a heart broken Logan standing in front of her.

"Wow, Life's a bitch." Logan shook his head, training his eyes on anything but her.

Was he sad she agreed to go with Troy? No that couldn't possibly be it.

She was snapped out of her thoughts as she saw Logan walk away.
