Chapter 11
Zoey and Chase watched in disbelief as Dana and Logan fought, argued, and stormed out of the classroom. As the door slammed shut for the second time, Zoey and Chase exchanged glances. What had just happened?
Dana stormed down the hall, her eyes blazing with fire. Logan's an idiot! He's an idiot and a jerk! He's an idiot and a jerk and I hate him! she thought angrily. She pushed the door open and stepped out of the building. He's an idiot and a jerk and I hate him…but I still love him.
Logan hurried down the hall after Dana. I'm an idiot! I'm an idiot and a jerk! I'm an idiot and a jerk and Dana probably hates me now! he thought bitterly. What the hell had he been thinking? I hadn't been thinking. Then again, she had slapped him. But I deserved it. he realized. He groaned and pushed the doors open. He stepped out of the building and looked around, Dana was nowhere in sight. Logan sighed, but he wasn't too worried. As long as she wasn't completely furious at him, he had a feeling he could find her.
Dana made her way to the clearing. She knew that it would be the first place Logan looked if he came after her but she didn't care. She kind of wanted him to find her, as long as he was going to apologize. Reflecting on it, she realized that she probably owed him an apology too. After all, she had slapped him. Dana winced. Why had she done that? The yelling and arguing was fine. Even him throwing the baby at her and her twisting his arm was fine. When she slapped him, that was when they'd crossed over the line. She crossed the line by slapping him; he crossed the line by provoking her to the point of slapping him. Dana wished she hadn't done it. What was I thinking? she wondered. She'd just snapped and lost it. He'd pushed her too far. I hadn't been thinking. As Dana continued to the clearing, she wondered if he would ever come after her. What if he didn't want her back?
Now she was worried, as much as she hated to admit it. After all they'd been through – in just the past 2 days – it would be terrible to lose it all because of a stupid science project. Dana really hated Mr. Henson right now. She half wished that she had slapped him instead. Then again, maybe not because that would've probably gotten her expelled.
Dana sighed. Then, the next thing she knew, she was stumbling backwards, having just walked into someone. "Hey! Watch where you're–" she began, cutting off sharply when she looked up into the person's face. Her eyes widened.
"Dana?"
Nicole sighed. She was in math, and Mrs. Reedman was droning on at the board about something or another. Nicole didn't know, and she also didn't care. Sighing again, she glanced at the empty seat next to her. Where could Richie be? She hadn't seen him all day. I hope he isn't sick. she thought.
Nicole sighed yet again, then opened her notebook to a blank page and began to write.
Richie Maxwell
Richie Maxwell
Richie Maxwell
Richie Maxwell
Rich
Nicole stopped herself, suddenly realizing what she'd been writing. What was she thinking? She was dating Ben! And on top of that – Richie was going out on a date with Zoey, her best friend! Nicole quickly scribbled out what she'd written. Closing her notebook, she sighed yet another time. This was going to be a long day.
Mr. Henson looked around the room, flustered. Never – in all his years of teaching – had he ever had an incident like that occur. Dana and Logan had argued and yelled at each other almost everyday. On a few occasions they had nearly started to fight, although Dana would always be the one doing something to hurt him. He hoped that Logan would never hit a girl. Them not getting along was part of his daily routine but this…this was something new. Arguing, yelling, fighting, name calling, slapping, and storming out…that had just never happened before.
"Everybody calm down!" he told the students, who were all whispering. "Not to worry." He was worrying plenty though. What should he do?
Zoey nudged Chase. "We have to go find them," she whispered.
"They could probably work it out on their own," Chase told her.
"Or they could kill each other," Zoey pointed out.
Chase sighed. "Well," – he lowered his voice so Zoey could barely even hear what he was saying – "if they are dating, then at least one of them will find something they did wrong and feel bad and apologize."
"Maybe for normal people, but this is Dana and Logan. They're both so incredibly stubborn it's stupid!" Zoey exclaimed.
"Well, maybe it would still be best to let them work this out on their own," he suggested.
"You mean let them kill each other!" Zoey shot back. "Chase, did you see how close they were to killing each other in class? Imagine what they'd do with no one around to stop them!" she shrieked.
Chase dropped his voice again. "Zoey, if this is about Du–" he began.
"Chase!" Zoey cut him off sharply.
He sighed. "Alright, let's go ask Mr. Henson if we can go find them," he concluded.
Zoey smiled. "Thanks Chase," she gushed, sounding truly grateful.
Chase smiled too and murmured, "Anytime Zo. Anytime."
"Michael…Michael…MR. BARRETT!"
Michael snapped out of his daydream. "Uhh, yes Mrs. Brenham?" he answered.
"Would you care to tell us when James Madison was sworn into office?" Mrs. Brenham asked.
"Uhh…no, not really," he stammered.
Mrs. Brenham shot him a look and Michael slouched down in his seat, thinking, Man, that woman is scary
"Dana?"
Dana blinked a few times but the person was still there. At first she was shocked, then she gradually got over the shock and became confused, and then she gave up on the confusion and got angry.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she shouted.
"Nice to see you too," the person replied sarcastically.
"Answer me, asshole!" she screamed.
"I go to school here."
Dana froze. No. No. No! This wasn't happening! Dana blinked hard. Still there. "Why?" she exclaimed finally.
"I'm not here for you, if that's what you're thinking. I forgot you even went to this hellhole school. My parents have been shipping me off to different schools all over the country since you left."
"Why here? Why PCA? Why California?" she shrieked. This could not be happening. This was the last thing she needed right now!
"It wasn't my decision, Dana! I'll probably be out of here soon enough anyway. I've hardly stayed anywhere long lately."
"Damn it, Rich, I thought I'd never have to see you again! Just make sure you do stay away from me while you're here! Me, and all my friends!" she yelled. "God, I just want nothing to do with you, you bastard!"
"Like I'd want to have anything to do with you either, bitch!"
"Don't you call me a bitch, Rich Maxwell! And stay out of Butler Hall! I don't even want to be in the same building as you!"
He smirked. "Butler Hall?" he repeated. "Well, don't think you'll get your wish. My date lives in Butler Hall."
Dana made a sour face. "Your date? How long have you been here?"
"I just got here yesterday."
"Then how the hell do you already have a date?"
"This girl got assigned to tutor me–"
"So you're dating some geeky genius? What's your ulterior motive?"
"She's not my date, and she's no genius either. My date is her friend."
"Well, she can't be a genius if she hanging around with you. Who are these idiots? I probably hate their guts but I think I'd rather tell them about what an asshole you are."
"Zoey Brooks."
Dana froze. "What?"
"That's the name of the girl who I'm going on the date with. Zoey Brooks. And her friend is–"
"Nicole Bristow," Dana finished. This was not good. She was beginning to feel faint.
"So you do know them. Were you right? Do you hate them?"
"I hate you!" she screeched. "They're my roommates!"
He laughed, making Dana even angrier. "Wait, so you're their roommate? Well, I should've realized that when they said that you're name was Dana and that you're mean. Although you're not the sick type. Well, now that you're all caught up on me, tell me about your boyfriend. What was his name? Hmm…"
"His name is Logan!" Dana snapped. "And I'm warning you, Rich Maxwell – you better stay away from him! Him and me! And Zoey and Nicole for that matter! And Chase and Michael! Hell – just stay away from everyone! Get out of my school, damn it!"
He just smiled. "You never were good at sharing. It's my school now too Dana, and I'm going to hang out with whoever I want to, got it?"
Dana glared at him, her eyes full of fury and hatred. "I hope you go to Hell," she hissed.
"If you haven't already claimed it as your own."
That threw Dana over the edge. Today was not her day. She shoved him, hard. "I hate you, you son of a bitch! You're a bastard and an asshole and a jackass and I hate you! Damn it, I hope you really do rot in Hell!" she roared.
Richie just shook his head, as if he thought she was being childish, and pushed by her. Dana was furious now. "Get out of here, damn it! I hate you! Asshole!" she called after him.
Richie didn't even bother to turn around as he lifted up his hand and flipped her off. He turned the corner, out of Dana's sight, but that didn't stop her rampage. "YOU'RE A BASTARD RICH MAXWELL! I HATE YOU! YOU'RE THE BIGGEST JACKASS I'VE EVER MET! STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" she bellowed. Angrily she kicked the wall, and was horrified to find that her foot went straight through it. Her eyes widened. What had she done? What had she been thinking? "Shit," she mumbled, before falling onto the ground, completely unconscious.
A/N: Wow! So apparently, Dana knows Richie. In case you guys are wondering how, it's not something that's going to come in later chapters – it's something we already found out. In…some early chapter of Do You Love Me? when Logan fakes sick and Dana goes to visit him during lunch with a cheeseburger and he ends up telling her all these things he knows about her. Among these facts was the fact that she was dating this guy named Rich but they broke up because Dana was going to PCA. This was in chapter 10 by the way, I just checked. Well, Dana's Rich that she dated before coming to PCA is Richie Maxwell, the new kid, who's already friends with Zoey and Nicole. Poor Dana. And now both she and Logan have put holes in some PCA wall. I think PCA needs new walls. lol. Oh and before I start talking about something else and forget to say it, this whole Richie being Dana's ex-boyfriend Rich thing was inspired by a review for chapter 35 of Do You Love Me?. The reviewer – scarlet emerald – remembered Rich (I had completely forgotten about him so when I read the review it took me a few minutes to figure it out. lol) and asked if they were the same person and I thought that was a very good idea so, ta da! Thanks for your help scarlet emerald! Although you didn't realize that you were helping me when you wrote that review. lol. Oh and the "one other person" in my disclaimer is really just Richie. But you don't know at first that he's Richie so if I don't put anything, as soon as she sees him and we realize it's not Logan or anyone else she knows, you guys would guess that he's an OC so he'd be in my disclaimer so there's only Richie and Ben so as soon as she says "Rich" everyone will know it's Richie whereas by adding that bit it's possible to extend the suspense a tiny bit longer because some people will figure it out then, but there might be some that don't. Then I thought of saying something about a mystery person but I didn't want to give anyone away so I just settled on "one other person." Next chapter continues the drama. I'll post it after I get at least 5 reviews! Maybe that will be tonight, if not it'll be up at some point on Monday. Thanks! Bye!
