Veronica's POV

Ugh… have you ever seen one of those cheesy high school movies? You know the part where it seems like everything and everyone stops what they're doing when someone important enters the room…

Well, that is exactly what happened when Logan and I pulled into the school parking lot in his giant banana.

All eyes were trained in on us and us alone.

Logan turns to look at me with a bright smile on his face, "Do I have something on my face?" He takes a quick look in the rearview mirror. When I don't answer him, he tugs on our intertwined hands, "I'm right here with you and I'm not going anywhere."

I couldn't help the smile that began covering my face.

He leans in over the console and kisses the tip of my nose, before hopping out of the car, and rushing over to my side, "Ready?" He asks helping me out of the car.

We start making our way hand in hand towards Neptune High.

"Yes. As long as I have you by my side I think I can manage." I respond turning to look at him.

We notice a group of people around the flag pole as we walk through the quad. 'Since when did my fellow classmates become school spirited…?'

I stopped dead in my tracks when I spotted a guy taped onto the flagpole butt naked with the words 'Snich' written across his chest. 'He must have done something very stupid to get himself up there.'

What bothered me the most was the fact that nobody else was doing anything to help him out, instead, they just there taking pictures of him and laughing.

I let go of Logan's hand and start making my way towards the front of the group, "Move!" I snarl at the guy currently trying to take a picture of this poor guy.

I pulled out my pocket knife from my bag and start cutting him down.

"Who made you queen?" He retorted.

Big mistake!

That's when I hear her voice, "Me. I believe I decided that a long time ago when we became best friends. Do you have a problem with that?" Lilly states defensively, her arms positioned masterfully on her hips, daring him to question her.

"No…I…Uh…I was just-" He fumbled at a loss for words.

"Leaving." Logan warned from behind him.

"Yeah." The guy mumbled and walked off as quickly as possible.

Lilly turned to the rest of the student body and yelled, "Go pirates!" in mock enthusiasm.

The crow started dispersing.

I finished cutting the guy down and Logan gave him his sweater to cover up or at least for him to try.

"Thanks." The guy shouts behind us as we walk towards the main building once again or Hell as I like to refer to it.

Logan pulls me into an empty hallway, "You know, the whole action-figure, save the life of the innocent is kind of a turn on." He purrs into my ear as he begins nibbling my neck.

He is yanked away from me abruptly.

"What the hell Logan? Is it true you are dating this white trash?-" Madison is furious. She turns her attention to me, "And you, how could you do this to Lilly? You are a b-"

"Madison, sweetie, I wouldn't finish that if I were you." Lilly says overly sweet. "Why do you care all of a sudden? Not that it's any of your business, but the reason I broke up with Logan is because they belong together. And the only reason they are together now is because of my fabulous plan to unite them."

"Oh. I...uh...I didn't know." Madison staggers stepping back.

"Then next time, I would just keep my mouth shut if I were you and don't you ever talk about my girlfriend again."

"Be nice Logan. What else would you expect from a selfish heartless bitch?" I say oh so sweetly.

"Ah uh ah." Lilly shakes her finger at her.

Madison stays quiet.

"Good girl." I entwined our finger together again. "See, you can teach a dog new tricks."

Logan pulls me towards my first class leaving a fuming Madison behind.

'Maybe today won't be that bad after all.'

Logan's POV

After I walked Ronnie to her first class I start heading towards my history class in a daze. Things had been pretty interesting this morning already. They couldn't possibly get any worse, could they?

I was so enthralled in my thoughts I hadn't seen where I was going when I rounded the corner, "Umph, sorry, I didn't-" I stopped my rambling when I saw who I had bumped into.

I came face to face with none other than Duncan Kane.

"Sorry D.K.-"

"Sorry for what exactly? For running into me? Or for stealing Veronica away from me?" He asked heatedly taking a step closer towards me.

"I didn't do anything wrong." I stood my ground. "I didn't steal Veronica away from you. I didn'tbreak up with her a year ago, you did. It really sucks if you haven't moved on yet, but she has." I need to keep my cool. "I don't have to apologize for what I feel. I'm done worrying about what you think. And I am done hiding my true feelings towards her. I have been in love with her for the past five years, and now she is finally my girlfriend. I'm gonna be there as long as she permits me." I state confidently.

God, I hope she wants to be with me for a long time.

"How can you love her? You don't even know what that means!-"

"Duncan stop!" The voice of a very particular blonde comes behind us.

"Why do you want me stop? I'm saying the truth-"

"Just stop." Her voice pleads as she stands next to me.

The blonde that had captured both of our hearts continues without a second thought, "I'm sorry you are hurting. I really am." She takes my hand in hers. "But you were the one that broke up with me, remember? It was then I realized I cared a lot about you, but not the way you wanted me to." She squeezed my hand. "I'm happy. He makes me happy. Can't you see that? You can either be happy for us, with us, or not. You have to stop blaming Logan for something you did, for something that you are responsible for, not him or me."

"I-"

"Don't." She shakes her head at him. "I really care about him."

And with that Duncan storms off.

She turns to me with a questioning look, it's different, and then it hits me.

'Oh crap! She heard me say the L-word. Stupid, stupid, stupid Logan…'

"Hey." I try to act as causal as possible, praying and hoping, that I didn't scare her off.

"So… Love huh?" She bites her bottom lip nervously.

Of course, she heard me, she is Veronica Mars. Why does she have to bite her lip like that?

"So… you heard that huh?" I put my hands in my pockets. "Yeah I think it might be something like love."

"Yeah? Good." She leans in and kisses me chastely on the lips. "Because I something like love you too."

Lilly's POV

So, okay, I am totally a manipulative bitch, but I love it! I have officially planted the looove seed in Dick's pretty little head. Now all I have to do is wait for lunch, and I will officially become the Greatest cupid Neptune has ever seen.

"So Lils, have you put your 'full proof plan' into motion yet?" Veronica asks sitting next to me.

"I totally have, thank you very much. Dick is going to go over to Mac and ask her to join us for lunch."

"And how, may I ask, did you manage to do that?" Veronica inquires.

Casey, Luke, Beaver, Dick, and Meg are all sitting around and near us.

She turns to look at me a bit surprised, "Have you ever noticed that besides us, Meg is the only other girl that sits with us. Everyone else is a guy."

"Silly Ve-ro-ni-ca, of COURSE I notice. HELLO!!!, they are boys after all. The reason is that they can't resist your head tilt or my fabulousness. We are a lethal combination Ronica. Besides, it's either us or all the other 09er girls who are bitches. Not a very hard choice." I say matter-of-factly.

I was telling Veronica about our plans for this coming weekend when I notice she isn't paying any attention. Instead, her fixation is across the table from us.

Sitting there in front of us is the guy from the flag pole all alone.

"Come on." I pull her over to him.

"Hey! I'm Lilly and this is Veronica. And you are?" I ask sitting in front of him.

"I'm Wallace." He turns to Veronica. "You are my savior from this morning."

"I was just trying to help you out since no one else would."

"Are you new here?"

"Yup, we just moved in at the end of last week." He says unpacking his lunch. I look over at Ronica and catch her eye.

Winking at her, I grab his food and head for the trash.

"Um, I was sorta gonna eat that."

"Not anymore. You are going to come with us." Veronica says pointing to our table.

"And have lunch with us." I finish for her and we each grab one of his hands and drag him over with us.

"I don't know if that is such a good idea."

"Well we do." As we sit down all the guys look at us with questioning looks.

"Hey guys, look Ronica and I made a new friend, aren't ya'll proud?"

"Uh. Not that your social skills aren't awsome Lil, but are you serious?" Luke asks looking unsure by the idea.

"Yeah. Wally here stays."

"If you have a problem with papa bear being here you can always go over to the pack of hyenas over there." Veronica says giving them all a warning glare.

"Papa bear?" Wallace asked confused.

"It's better just to go with it." I tell him with a laugh.

"Food's here." Logan says breaking the tension and settles next to his girlfriend. "Dig in."

Luke is the first one to reach for one of the boxes.

"Good." Veronica states happily.

I turn to Dick and see him reaching for food. "Dick, aren't you forgetting something?" I motion towards Mac.

He follows my eye sight and sees Mac.

I can't help but see what I can only think as a smile playing at our dear Dick's mouth. 'Interesting.'

He gets up and starts heading over.

'Show time.'

"Here we go." I say turning to Veronica and I share a smile with her.

And as always leave me some LoVe…I live for it
