"Stephanie?" Rory exclaimed as she saw her best friend step out of a taxi, "What are you doing here!"
Logan watched from afar as the two girls ran toward each other and hugged. He smiled to himself.
"I was sitting at home on my couch next to my mom and yours watching An Affair to Remember and I thought to myself, darn it Stephanie, why should Rory be off having fun without you. So I googled your camp and caught the cheapest plane I could find!" Stephanie explained with zeal.
"Wow! But oh my gosh! Where are you going to stay?" Rory asked, suddenly worried.
"I was kinda hoping I could stay with you?" Stephanie stated this as if it were a question.
"Of course you can!" Rory grabbed Stephanie's hand and dragged her over to Logan.
"Stephanie Vanderbilt, meet my new friend Logan Huntzberger, Logan, meet my best friend Stephanie!" Rory was so overwhelmed with happiness she couldn't mask her excitement.
Stephanie gave Logan a quick once-over and shot Rory a look of approval. Rory blinked up at her, clueless.Stephanie grabbed Rory and pulled her a couple of feet away.
"Logan is hot." Stephanie stated simply. "So?" Rory shot back. "Oh please Rory, do you not see! Look at him!" Rory glanced over at Logan and when his eyes met hers she quickly looked away. He was pretty good looking. "Yeah, well I guess he is okay but he's not my type."
Logan stood mere feet from the girls and looked on as they stood whispering. When Rory looked up and caught his eye it was almost satisfying how fast she looked away. She was gorgeous, but she didn't know it. He found himself thinking about her and had to stop himself. She wasn't the blonde, leggy, bimbo-type that he normally went for, and she was way too good to be anything less than a girlfriend girl.
Stephanie and Rory argued about Logan's hotness factor for a few moments until they realized that he was still waiting for them.
"Okay Ror, but just watch him for a second, the way he looks at you is pretty cute." Rory was too confused so she just shot Stephanie a look and began walking back over to Logan.
"Ready?" she piped up as she began to quicken her pace. They arrived at the building moments later and punched the elevator button, eager to climb in. It opened and they stepped in together.
"Soooo…" Stephanie started, "you guys are quite the chatty bunch." She smiled at them. Rory and Logan looked at each other and smiled.
"Ow!" Rory exclaimed, as Stephanie jabbed her in the side with her elbow. Rory looked up at her and she just smirked. Rory shot back a sarcastic smile.
The elevator began to steadily move upward towards level four when it came to a sudden halt. When the doors didn't open immediately, they knew that the elevator had stopped.
"Oh crap, now we'll never get back in time." Logan stated sarcastically as he shot off that infamous smirk once more.
Moments later the once well lit elevator went pitch black. "Oh my gosh!" Rory squealed. She felt someone grab her arm and immediately assuming it was Stephanie she wrapped her arms around their waist, holding on tight while they wrapped their arm around her shoulder. That arm felt a little too muscular to belong to Stephanie's thin frame.
"Ror, are you okay?" Stephanie asked, and not from the person next to her.
"Steph? Where are you?" Rory asked back. Moments later the small elevator was illuminated by the blue light from Stephanie's cell phone. Rory looked up to see Logan's features.
Rory jumped back, muttering an apology. "Oh Logan I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was you."
"Don't worry about it Ace." Logan responded, not removing his arm yet. He looked down at her while she looked back, they almost forgot that Stephanie was there, crammed into the small, claustrophobic elevator with them.
"Crap, no service." Stephanie mumbled looking at her phone. She looked up at them, "What's with you two?" she asked, confused.
Rory and Logan jumped apart. Logan began to feel around the walls for the buttons and found them, jabbing the emergency one.
The lights popped back on but the elevator didn't start moving yet. A nasal voice came on over the intercom, "We're sorry for the elevator inconvenience, we are working on it right now and you will be out of there as soon as possible."
"Well at least we get out of the afternoon seminars." Logan said cheerfully, sinking down the wall to the floor and crossing his legs, Indian style.
"How can you say that!" Rory said, playfully slapping him on the arm.
Stephanie just sat there, looking smug. She knew she was right and didn't understand how someone as smart as Rory hadn't figured it out yet.
Rory sat down on the floor next to Logan while Stephanie watched, smirking. Rory looked up at Steph, "What?" she asked. "Oh, nothing." was Stephanie's reply, as she joined them on the floor.
"So where do we sleep?" Rory asked.
"I'm not sure were they'll put us tonight, but last night they just had us all in one room in sleeping bags because there was only a couple of us, no one really showed up until today." Logan responded, "But I thought someone told me there were dorms somewhere around, maybe on the upper floors."
"Oh, ok." Rory replied quietly.
They sat in the small elevator for about an hour or so, just carrying polite conversation and getting to know each other more, when it finally began to move upward once more. They got out on level four and made their way to the original seminar room.
They entered the room to find the people gathering their papers and exiting.
"Nice Huntz, two this time?" a dark haired boy with an Australian accent commented, eyeing the two girls and absorbing their beautiful features.
"Huh? Oh no, this is Rory, she's part of the program, and her friend Stephanie who just decided to visit."
"Sure Huntz, whatever you say." with that final comment he walked away. The blonde one looked like someone Logan would go for but whatever.
"Um, okay. Sorry about him, he has issues." Logan said with a laugh.
"Okay Logan, I'm going to go talk to that Ms. Mullins lady. I should probably figure out were I'll be sleeping." She said with a laugh.
"Okay Ace, I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked, with a hopeful glint in his eye.
"Most definitely." She smiled up at him and turned around with Stephanie, making their way down the hall to find Ms. Mullins. She looked up at Stephanie and she just glared back grinning with an 'I told you so' expression on her face.
"What?" Rory asked, knowing very well what she was looking so smug about.
"You know." She looked down at Rory with that same expression. The girls knew each other too well.
Logan watched as Rory and Stephanie walked away, their ponytails swaying. He caught himself hoping that he would see Rory again very soon. Finn was right, Stephanie looked like the kind of girl he would usually go for, but for once he wasn't attracted to the blonde, he was more drawn to Rory's sense of intelligence and quick wit.
