Dana's POV

I made my way to my room slowly. I was thinking how could I face Logan? My heart jumped at every noise as I walked. I was unsure why. I sighed. Why me? Why did I write it? I know it felt good to vent out but look where it got me. I slowly walked.

"Dana! What you wrote was crazy good," some kid yelled to me.

"Yea. I loved it. It was so brave. I hope that Logan follows you up on it," another girl said.

"He better. She is worth it," one girl said.

"You a great writer!" a boy shouted.

I looked around me. What was going one. They are all so supposed to be laughing and making fun of me.

"Thanks," I said.

I don't think they heard it.

"Welcome," a boy shouted to me.

I turned around. I was heading to my dorm but forget that. They are right if Logan doesn't respond, forget him. I could do better. I march my way to where I left Logan.

I got to the lake and he was no where in sight. I shrugged my shoulders to my myself. I heard a female in tears near by. I am not one to be noisy but I looked around to see who it was. It was Beth. Logan new 'toy'. I walked down to her. If it had something to do with Logan, then I am noisy.

"Are you okay?" I asked in my sweetest voice.

"No," she mumbled.

"Logan left me. After he read that stupid column of yours he told me that he didn't want me no more. That he was in love with someone else," she said.

"Oh. It be okay. He isn't all that," I said to the girl.

She got up. She looked at me. "Yes he is. Now I can't have him because of you," Beth said.

She slapped. Oh no this little bitch did not slap me. I didn't slap her. Oh no. My mommy taught me better than that. I punch her in the face. She fell to the floor. I would have kept on fighting her if someone didn't grab me by the waist and pull me back. As soon as those arms were around me, I knew who it was. I smelled his scent.

"Logan get off of me," I yelled.

"If I do. You would kill her," he said.

He wasn't playing around.

"She hit me first," I yelled for my defense.

By this time Beth had gotten up and ran away. Please she acts like we don't go to the same school. Let alone live in the same dorm.Logan's strong arms let me go.

"God now looked what you did," I told him.

"I stop you from getting suspended," he said.

"So? No one told you to," I yelled at him.

"So? I wanted to," he yelled back.

I looked at him and turned my back on him.

"We need to talk," he said.

"Okay," said.

"Not here," he said.

I looked around. Between me and Beth's fight to me and Logan's argument there was a huge scene around us.

"Where you want to go?" I asked.

I still haven't looked him straight in the eye. I am to scared for that.

"My room. It is empty," he said.

"Okay."

We were back at his room. He was sitting on his bed. I was spinning around in the computer chair.

"Dana!" he screamed at me.

It scared me to tell you the truth.

"What?" I asked.

"Why did you write that?" he asked.

"I don't know. I wasn't supposed to be posted. Nicole did it by mistake. I would never have to courage to do something like that," I said.

"Oh," he said.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to like put you out there like that," I told him.

I spun the chair around so I could face him. He lifted his head like it was fate. I couldn't breathe. I was so scared that if I did this moment would be gone forever. The room didn't room. Every little detail that I always remembered I forgot. All I saw was Logan. All I knew was Logan. The way he looked at me. No other person has ever looked at me in such a way. I felt sexy. I felt perfect in his eyes. Like I could get no better. Of course we had to breathe and the moment was lost. I know it would forever remain in my heart.

"Did you mean it?" he asked me.

I just nodded my head.

"Oh," was all he said again.

Then he got up. He walked right to me. I felt like everything stood still. Everything was a blur. Only Logan was seen. The next thing I knew, the next thing I felt, were his lips against mine. First it was sweet and boring. Then to rough and intense.

We pulled apart to take a breath.

"What. . . "I started.

Then Logan put a finger to my lips.

"Shhh," he said.

He kissed me again.

--------Zoey 101 -------------

It has been 3 days since my boyfriend and me kissed. By boyfriend I mean Logan. He is so cute and clingy. I love it. He is mine. Not my boy toy or anything but mine.

Hey guys. This is a follow-up courage column. I really didn't have the courage to post the column last week. My friend did it for me. I am glad she did. Things came up good at the end. Courage is something that everyone needs. Not to much of it. That might get you in trouble. To find the courage to look in someone's eyes and tell them how you feel, really tell them, is unbelievable. To just live life not being held down by your fears is to really live. So courage and no fear is the perfect to live life in my book.

I sat back re-read my work and hit post.

"Hey babe," Logan said as he walked through the door to my room.

"Hey," I said.

He walked over to me and kissed me. We pulled apart. I looked right in to his eyes. My courage risen.

"I love you," I said.

For the first time I told my boyfriend that I love him.

He smiled at me.

"I loved you more," he said.

To have courage is to live life.
