Chapter 2
"While I was working with Lainey on the Mellor problem, my brother was in for a surprise."
Logan and Ephram sat on the steps of Emily and Logan's front porch, kissing. Ephram then stood up and smiled at his boyfriend.
"Someone's 16th birthday is tomorrow," Ephram said.
"It sure is," Logan said, standing up.
"I got you something," Ephram said.
"What did you get me?" Logan asked.
A deliveryman arrived with a bouquet of red roses.
"Delivery for Logan Mansfield," the deliveryman said.
"You got me flowers!" Logan cheered.
Logan kissed Ephram.
"You're the best boyfriend ever!" Logan cheered.
"I did get you flowers," Ephram said. "But I ordered tulips."
"It's okay," Logan said, taking the flowers.
Logan noticed a note attached and read it aloud.
"Dear Logan," Logan read aloud. "You are the wind beneath my wings."
"Um, Logan," Ephram said.
"I love looking into those beautiful blue eyes," Logan read. "Love you always, Alan."
Logan looked at Ephram.
"Alan?" Logan asked. "That's not your name."
"Those aren't the flowers I sent you," Ephram said.
"I get that," Logan said. "But who's Alan?"
"So Logan looked through the yearbook and discovered five Alan's. So what did he do? He decided to confront each of them."
Logan confronted four of the Alan's. None of them sent the flowers. Finally, he confronted football player Alan Hudson.
"Yes," Alan said after Logan confronted him on the football field. "I did send you the flowers."
"You know I have a boyfriend, right?" Logan asked.
"Baker is no good," Alan said. "He's not me."
"I didn't even know you were gay," Logan said.
"Well, I am," Alan said. "And I really like you."
"I'm sorry, Alan," Logan said. "But the answer is no."
"You're so cute when you deny your feelings for me," Alan said.
"I don't have feelings for you," Logan said. "Goodbye, Alan."
Logan walked off and Alan stood there smiling.
