Kitty had been called names before, and "animal" was a lighter term people used on her. At her other school she was constantly nagged and bullied for being different, I guess it's sort of a disadvantage of her coming from a small town. When she came to PCA, she expected things to be different, for the kids there to be more evolved so they could at least tolerate her, or pretend to. And Kitty wasn't the type to break down crying, no her outer shell was way too hard to be affected by the means of other students, but there was something about Logan, something about him made Kitty very aware of herself, and embarrassed.
She liked Logan.
And she had no idea why, he was everything that she hated about a guy, he was rich, he was cocky, he was lacking intelligence – but there was still something about him that had Kitty clinging on for more.
"I'm going to kill Logan!" Quinn stormed into the dorm and slammed the door behind her; she sat down next to Kitty, "I'm sorry he's such an insensitive jerk. Logan's like that – I bet I can zap him with my new electronic – "
Kitty interrupted Quinn, "It's fine, it's not the first time I've been called a stupid name. I guess I sort of overreacted".
"Bullshit!" Quinn tossed her arms up in the air, "Logan is a jerk regardless. Okay – you don't deserve to be treated like that, especially since you're the new girl".
"Thanks?"
"No, we need to get back at Logan, make him feel little – like a cockroach, oh no, no, much more smaller. Like an ant! We're going to make Logan Reese feel like an ant", Quinn started rubbing her hands together, "We'll need some fishing line and some chicken feathers…"
"Quinn…"
"Oh and we'll need some dog food, Dustin keeps some up in his dorm, that'll be VERY good", Quinn turned to Kitty and smiled.
"Quinn!"
"Yes Kitty?" Quinn was already at her desk, typing furiously.
"It's okay, if I want to get back at Logan I'll let you know", Kitty shifted uncomfortably on the balls of her feet, "I'm gonna go for a walk okay?"
"Okay", Quinn smiled, "Later Kitty".
Kitty forced a smile and walked out the door. She hadn't really gotten to explore all of the PCA campus and was more than relieved to be broken free of Quinn. Don't get me wrong, Kitty liked Quinn, she was a nice person, but at times she was slightly overbearing. Kitty walked into the fresh air and felt the sun beating down on her body, she put on her purple aviators and glided across the campus, her eyes enthralled in the stone structure of the buildings, her mouth was gaped open as she looked around the campus – it was so beautiful, something the kids obviously took for granted.
"Kitty", she heard someone call her name, and immediately whirled around to see Logan Reese standing before her, "Look. I'm sorry…."
"It's okay", Kitty took her aviators off, "I get it all the time". She started to walk away, but Logan followed her.
"Where are you from?" Logan stalked her.
"Tallahassee".
"Where's that?" Geography wasn't something Logan was particularly good at.
"Florida", Kitty turned to Logan, "It's the capitol…."
"No shit?"
"Yeah, no shit Logan", Kitty put her sunglasses back on and began to walk away, but still Logan persisted to follow her.
"I live around here", Logan tried to make pointless conversation, "I have a pretty nice mansion. You should check it out sometime".
"Why would you want an animal in your house?" Kitty asked coolly and crossed her arms.
"Kitty I didn't mean what I said…"
"Of course you did", Kitty stated firmly, "I've been around guys like you okay? Look, I think it's sweet of you to try to be nice to me, but stop pretending okay?"
"Kitty – Kitty I'm not – I'm not pretending".
"Okay", Kitty laughed, "Sure you aren't, I gotta go meet some of my teachers. Later Logan".
"Later Kitty".
Kitty walked away and turned around slowly, "Logan. You might want to look out for chicken feathers and dog food".
"What?"
"Just watch out", Kitty laughed and walked away.
