New Author's Note, 6/27/06: I am so sorry i have been so unreliable in updating. I've been having a bunch of problems uploading to recently, and school doesn't help. I will post the next couple of chapters, and then I will be gone for another month, as I will be in Spain. :) Thanks for all your lovely reviews! It means so much to me. :D
AN: Hey ya'll! Sorry these are short, but as I mentioned before, school's crazy. Remember, the more reviewthe faster I write...
I can't wait for the season premier on Wednesday! Logan better not be dead... :D
If any of you like Degrassi, please read and review my fanfic "Underexposure".
REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! please?

Uno, dos, tres... catorce
Spoken vocal
Turn it up loud, Captain!
Lights go down it's dark
The jungle is your head - can't rule your heart
A feeling is so much stronger than
Your eyes are wide
And though your soul it can't be bought
Your mind can wonder
Hello, hello... (Hola)
I'm at a place called Vertigo (dónde estás?)
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something...
I can feel, feel
The night is full of holes
As bullets rip the sky of ink with gold
They twinkle as the boys play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance - at least they know
I can't stand the beats
I'm asking for the cheque
The girl with crimson nails
Has Jesus 'round her neck
Swinging to the music Whoooaaa
Swinging to the music Whoooaaa
Whoooaaa
Whoooaaa
Whoooaaa
Hello, hello... (Hola)
I'm at a place called Vertigo (dónde estás?)
It's everything I wish I didn't know
But you give me something...
I can feel, feel
Shake it...
Just for...
Jumping in... yeah
Edge solo
All of this... all of this can be yours
All of this... all of this can be yours
All of this... all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want and no one gets hurt
Hello, hello... (Hola)
I'm at a place called Vertigo (dónde estás?)
Lights go down and all I know
That you give me something...
I can feel your love teaching me
Aaahhhhh-aaahhh-aaahhh-aaahhh...
Your love is teaching me
Aaahhhhh-aaahhh-aaahhh-aaahhh...
How to kneel, kneel
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, YEAH,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, YEEEAAAAH!

Veronica groggily awoke to her beeping alarm. She turned it off and got up. She looked down, confused that she was still wearing the clothes from last night. Then the past days events came flooding back: Aaron and Lilly's affair, her daddy burned, learning that both her ex's weren't human, and Weevil giving her the tapes that she now didn't know what to do with. She quickly changed and entered the kitchen yawning. Wallace had already set the table.
"Hey, I made breakfast," he informed her as he gestured to the box of cereal in his hand.
She smiled. "My, aren't you the master chef. Seriously Wallace, thanks."
"You fell asleep on the couch. Sorry about leaving you in your street clothes, but it would have been weird for me to change ya."
"It's okay," she said. In truth, she didn't think she would have liked him, even though he was like her brother, to see her semi-naked body. It made her feel vulnerable. She just wasn't ready for that after her rape. Granted, Duncan had said it was consensual, but she couldn't help thinking how she had much more of the drugs in her system than him. "Ugh. I so don't want to go to school today."
"Yeah, so, about that. I've been hearing things about you and Echolls. Please tell me that it's just the regular rumor mill making stuff up."
She hadn't even thought about the party where Aaron had outed her and Logan to the 09ers. It just seemed so long ago. She wasn't sure what she was going to do about the extra scrutiny and the rumors that would fly about them not being a couple, but Veronica wasn't sure she wanted to see either Logan or Duncan just yet.
"You didn't answer me. Tell me that it isn't true."
"Wallace..."
"He's the one who made your life a living hell for the past year. You're the one who told me he was a psychotic jackass!"
"We were close before that. Logan changed after Lilly. You don't know the real him. He's different now."
"Sure he is. Fine, I believe you. But the rumors about you two sleeping together aren't true, right?"
"Of course not! We just...kissed."
"As in once?" At her silence he shook his head. "More than once? Girl, you are even crazier than I thought." She gave him a look. "If you're happy, I'm happy. But remember, if he hurts you I'm gonna beat him up." Veronica shook her head and laughed. Boys would be boys.
Then she tilted her head. "Do me a favor?"
