~Logan

My legs would not stop shaking. I'm somewhat glad I haven't seen James since last night, because I honestly would not know how to react to what I did after he dropped me off!

I can't wait to tell those three bashturds about what happened.

I've been sitting here for at least an hour! Okay that's an exaggeration because we only get 40 minutes of recess, but I've been waiting here for ages!

"Hi." A familiar voice greeted me as a guy approached my table. That guy turns out to be none other than freaking Carlos Garcia.

One of my 3 crushes.

Sigh, here comes the stuttering.

"H-Hey." I smiled, looking at him. He shaved his head…? He looks like he just came out of the army… And it's actually a huge turn-on. I gulped as he came closer and closer to my table. My lonely, lonely nerd's table.

"M-Mind if I sit here…?" He asked, looking at the empty seat right in-front of me. Did he just stutter?

No, I must be dreaming.

Yeah, these last two days is just a humongous nightmare!

"S-S-Sure." I gulped nervously. "Thanks." He replied with a huge smile, sitting down and unwrapping his burger. "L-Logi- Logan, right?" He asked, smiling at me with a hint of curiosity. "Y-Yeah… H-how'd you know?" I asked. Oh I know how he knew my name.

Those three bishes.

"Your friends told me." He answered, extending a hand, "Carlos Garcia." He introduced himself. I shook his firm and strong hand. His hand is exactly like how I imagined it, as strong and as firm as someone who works out a lot.

"I-I know. Actually, everyone knows." I chuckled, noticing everyone's weird looks. 'Oh fuck off.' I thought. I'm only talking to the guy, it's not like I'm jerking him off in public!

Although…

"Hey uh… Logan…" Carlos broke me out of my dirty ass thoughts, and I have to thank God for that. Otherwise I'd have a problem down under…

"Y-Yeah?" I asked, taking a bite out of my sandwich. All of a sudden the air around us was filled with nervousness as he stared deep into my eyes. "Can we… C-Can we hang out after school?" He asked, I saw his Adam's Apple bob. Why is he nervous?! I'm the one who should be freaking out! One of the 3 stars of the school just asked to hang out with me! It should be the other way around!

I nodded with a huge nervous smile. "D-Definitely." I replied, seeing a huge excited grin grow on his face. "I look forward to it." He said, as if containing his excitedness. I nodded, what have I done?

What the heck am I gonna do? I barely know how to lift a freaking barbell! Assuming he asks me to go to the gym with him. Or maybe he wants to go to the arcade… The only game I know how to play is Pac Man. Seriously.

Once lunch was done, he followed me all the way back to class. "Wait, we're in the same class?" I asked in shock, earning a nod from him. "You probably didn't notice since every single time class ends, you just bolt out. Plus, you sit all the way at front and you're never late!" He exclaimed with a small laugh.

I nodded, smiling a bit. I guess I really am a huge nerd. He's right though, as soon as school ends I'd bolt out to look for Camille. Or Jo. Or Katie.

"C'mere." Carlos said, grabbing my wrist and pulling me all the way to the back of the class. "Sit at the back, for once." He smiled, taking the left-side seat. I nodded with a small smile, I guess a small change of scenery isn't that bad. I'll need my glasses though.

As soon as I put them on, the whiteboard became clearer than ever. "Y-You look cute with glasses on." He grinned, as if nothing's wrong with that statement. 'Well… You're cute…' James' words echoed in my brain, and once again, my face burned pure red in embarrassment.

Only after the entire class had arrived did I truly notice how many people there were in this class. I also noticed the other two stars were here too…

What the hell? How did I never spot them before?!

James waved at me with a smile from the distance, meanwhile Kendall was getting ready for the subject.

Calculus.

I suppose I never really bothered to stay in class after school is because nobody sits at me all the way in-front. Everyone thinks I'm just a huge quiet nerd…

I guess they're right.

As I focused on the subject, I couldn't help but notice the frequent sighs of defeat coming from Carlos. His veins were literally popping out as he gripped his wooden pencil, which looked like it was about to snap by the way, in pure frustration.

I noticed he was still stuck on the first Question while everyone had already moved on to the 5th.

That's how the teacher teaches us Calculus. He gives us a formula, tells us how to use it, then gives us a buttload of work.

"Carlos, you're gonna break your pencil." I sighed, placing my hand on his in an attempt to calm him down and to my surprise, it worked! His grip softened immediately. I took the pencil out of his hand and replaced it with one of mine.

One of my lucky mechanical pencils, actually…

"Take this. This is my lucky pencil, it'll help in all subjects. It's where I get my nerdy magic." I grinned as I joked with him, seeing his frown of frustration turn into a small smile.

"Alright so, to solve this equation, you need to turn the degree into radian like so…" I began teaching him. He's an insanely quick learner actually… I don't know why he wasn't able to pick up on what the teacher taught…

I guess he's one of those peoples who need friends to teach them. I'm not bothered by it though, sure he's a super athletic guy, but everyone's got a weakness!

Plus, I love teaching peoples.

Just like that, we whizzed by Question 2, 3, all the way to 15 within minutes. Heck, he even pointed out a few mistakes I missed out!

"Thank you so much, Logie." He thanked me once Calculus ended, his face burning red afterwards. "C-Can I call you Logie?" He asked shyly, I nodded. I don't mind when peoples call me Logie, as long as it's not in any form of mockery.

I glanced at James and noticed he was gone, then noticed he was talking to Kendall.

The rest of the subjects whizzed by, it felt odd having someone sit next to me. Even more odd when that person keeps bumping your ankles with theirs, or rubbing their foot by 'accident', or literally finding excuses just to make skin-to-skin contact.

I don't mind though, I kind of think it's cute. Does he like me? Or is this just how he expresses his friendship…?

Yeah, keep dreaming Logan. He probably only needs me to tutor him till' the end of the year, then he'll be gone. Just like Camille, Jo and Katie. They'll all be gone, having a happy, happy holiday with their parents. Meanwhile I'd be stuck at home cleaning the place.

My parents aren't at home usually, so I'm all alone. Just like last night. It's find though, I get to live independently. At least they leave money for me all the time.

"You wanna stop by your locker or do we just leave? I've an entire day planned out. Well, half of a day." He grinned excitedly. "When did you plan out our day?" I asked, lifting a brow at him. "During arts class. I finished mine early so I had time to plan stuff." He continued smiling.

Did I mention he has one of those ridiculously perfect and contagious smiles?

He does.

"I guess we could just leave." I smiled, looking out the window and noticing it's nice and sunny, but not too hot. Perfect day for an outing. "Alright." He grinned, and as soon as he did, the bell rang. "Let's go." He cried excitedly, grabbing my wrist and bolting out for the entrance. Literally nobody else was outside when we got out, even the security guard was shocked at how fast we came out!

He told his parents, who were waiting outside, that he had things planned. Carlos took my bag and bottle and put it in his car, claiming we could retrieve it later.

I followed him out of the school and into a theme park.

"So… We're gonna be here all day?" I asked, looking at an excited Carlos. Completely different from the shy Carlos I was interacting with this morning…

"Yeah. I've never been here, I hate coming to theme parks alone." He smiled as he told me. So… Wait, is this counted as dating?

Oh now I'm just being stupid! He's literally just showing he wants to be my friend.

But why though? I'm just a boring nerd. Boring ol' Logie Mitchell.

"Here you go." Carlos smiled as he handed the guy behind the counter some sort of shining golden card. The guy's eyes blew wide as soon as he saw the card. He took out a shiny red bracelet and a shiny white bracelet. Carlos handed me the blue one while he took the red one.

"Alrighty, lez' go!" He cried in excitement before grabbing my wrist and dashing inside madly. I was immediately awed by the beauty of this place.

Everywhere you look there were peoples either screaming, talking, sharing treats or just enjoying themselves. The atmosphere of this entire area was just amazing! "Wow…" I whispered as Carlos guided me, "Let's go on a subtle ride as a warm-up." He said with a huge grin.

I smiled seeing him excited. Honestly, he's literally the star rugby player of the entire school but right now, I feel like he's my hyper-excited boyfriend instead of some furious guy who'd tackle others for a ball.

Boyfriend huh…

In my dreams.

I shook my head before agreeing, "Sure. Let's try bumper cars," I suggested, pointing at the ride. "Well, not really subtle but that'll do!" He smiled, once again grabbing my wrist and taking off in a hurry.

I kind of regret going with bumper cars because not only was I dizzy, but my sides also hurt from all of the impact. I've to admit though, it was insanely fun.

After the cars, we went for a roller-coaster, since Carlos wanted to 'up' the fun. "Yeah uh, no. We'll get the drinks after the ride." I frowned, apparently he wants to eat while waiting in line. "Come on…" He kept tugging at my shirt. "No." I dragged out the 'O', emphasizing on how bad the idea is.

"Fine, we'll get it after. But it's your treat." He pouted before giving up. "Fine by me." I smiled. I don't know what got into me, but I actually grabbed his hand as we walked towards the roller-coaster line. I felt my cheeks blush when he tangled our fingers, but I also saw a big grin form on his face as we walked.

Once again, I regret picking this ride. The amount of spins and sharp turns made me feel woozy, as if I just traveled through space in hyper-speed!

As promised, we got food afterwards. Though he actually treated me instead of the other way around… "Carlos, how come we have these bracelets? What about the others?" I asked curiously as we sat down and enjoyed our drinks, swapping now and then.

"Oh, my uncle owns this theme park. This bracelet gives us full access to the entire park, and free rides! The food and drinks are excluded though." He pouted, but then smiled.

"I… I like you, L-Logie." He muttered afterwards and I literally just choked on my fizzy red drink. "W-W-W-W-What…?" I asked, my face slowly burning red. "I like you, Logan." He repeated, confidently. His expression turned from a childish one into a serious one… Which tells me he's not joking.

"B-But w-why?" I asked, putting my drink on the bench. "Various reasons." A smile grew on his face afterwards, "C'mon, we'll go on one last ride." He grabbed my wrist not even letting me protest. He made a mad dash through the crowds, towards a newly opened horror-themed ride.

'That' was written on a giant sign hanging on top of the entrance with a giant female clown grinning menacingly.

All of the thoughts about Carlos saying he liked me just disappeared as soon as we got inside, because Carlos was clinging onto me insanely, burying face in my shoulder while I led us. Me, on the other hand, was literally hanging on a thread. Hanging for my life, because if I didn't I would've bolted out. This place is insane!

"T-T-That was awesome!" Carlos yelled excitedly. I rolled my eyes as I pant, "You had your eyes closed the entire time." I mocked with a small smile.

We decided to leave after the horror ride, although there were many more rides I wanted to try, I was insanely tired. So was Carlos.

We did get lost for a short while, until Carlos actually asked for directions. Something I completely forgot to do…

His parents sent me home and he decided to walk me to my front door, then handed my bag.

Before I turned around and entered my house, a smile grew on my face. "Thanks for today, Carlos." I smiled before kissing his cheek, which caught both of us off guard…

I watched his cheeks turn rose red before entering my house, then made a mad dash upstairs. What the hell did I just do?

I did that to James yesterday, now Carlos? Am I crazy!?

I just pray I don't start randomly kissing my crushes soon, because that would ruin my entire school life… And I've a year left!
