The next day, I had made plans to go to the beach and chill out in my new bikini. I knew that Rory and Jess had plans, and I didn't want to have to stay alone in the house with Jimmy, Carly, or Jake. As I finally got adjusted on my chair, and started to tan, I heard a chillingly familiar voice. I opened my eyes, and saw none other than Logan Huntzberger sitting on the beach on his wireless laptop, and talking on his phone. He saw me, and his eyes widened. I wasn't sure if I wanted to talk to him, because I had spent all of last year hating him. In the hospital, I had gotten to know him a little better, and realized that he wasn't exactly the devil, but I still didn't like him. I was about to go in the water to avoid talking to him when he walked over.

He smiled at me, "Hey, Allegra. What are you doing here?"

I said, "Oh, I'm on vacation. Why are you here?'

He replied, "Business."

I raised my eyebrows, "You got a job where you're able to work on the beach?"

He sighed, "I don't actually have a job yet, this is just for my father. I wanted a change of scenery, so I decided to come out here. So who are you here with? Lorelai?"

I knew that he was subtly hinting at whether Rory was here or not. I replied, "No, I'm staying with a friend of mine."

He looked at me, "Allegra. You can tell me if Rory's here. We're friends, remember?"

Sure, they were friends. I knew for sure that Logan wasn't over her by the way he was talking, and I was afraid that if Logan visited her, she would be confused all over again, and not want to be with Jess.

I looked up with him, "Yes, I'm with Rory. But we're also staying at her boyfriend's house. And I have a question for you. Did you keep your promise?"

I was referring to that day at the hospital, when Logan left her life for good. Rory made him promise to be good, and not destroy his life. He nodded, "I have. I've stayed away from all girls. In fact, I've done better than Rory has, from what you're telling me."

It was getting really awkward, and I was grateful when his phone rang. He looked at me, "Bye, Allegra. It was nice seeing you."

He walked back over to his chair, and I left, because staying there would just be too awkward. When I arrived back at the house, it was really quiet. I went up to Rory and my room, and started to read. A few minutes later, I saw a shadow at my door. It was Jake. He walked in, and I asked, "What are you doing?"

He muttered, "I left something in here last week and I'm trying to find it."

I said, "Okay, fine," and continued to read my book.

He looked me up and down, "I thought you went to the beach."

"Yes, I did. What does it matter to you?" He was seriously getting on my nerves. I hadn't liked this kid from the start, and now all I wanted to do was read and he was distracting me.

He grinned, "Well, the point of the beach is to swim, and your hair isn't wet. You're not even sandy. What did you do, just sit there?"

I rolled my eyes, "I went to the beach to get some sun, not to get sandy or to swim."

He sighed in frustration, "Is that all that girls ever think about, tanning?"

I replied, "Look, the beach got boring. Now can I please read in peace?"

He gave me that annoying cocky grin again, and said, "Whatever you want," as he walked out of the room. I took a deep breath. There was something about him that really bugged me.

A few hours later, Rory and Jess were back. I decided not to tell Rory about meeting Logan, because I didn't think she needed to know about it. Besides, she was busy being obsessed with Carly, who was also a culinary student on the side of being a journalist. She was pretty cool.

After dinner, my phone rang. It was Haley, my best friend, and sister of the infamous Louise Grant. She said excitedly, "Chica! I heard that you were in California!! So are Louise and I, and we really want to come say hi!"

I gave her the address, and told Rory that they were going to come tomorrow. Rory said, "That's going to be really weird seeing Louise again, I haven't seen her in years. She should help you out, though, Daisy."

When I failed to respond, Rory continued, "You know, on your boy-hunt."

Jess and Jake said, with the same smirk, "Boy-hunt?"

I replied, "I am not on a boy hunt. Mom wants me to be on one, but I'm not. It will be fun to go clubbing with Louise and Haley, though. They get pretty crazy."

Jess said with mock concern, "I don't know, Daisy. I'm not sure if you're ready for boys yet."

I ignored them, and went back to the room. I didn't want to talk about the fact that I had very little experience with guys in front of people that I didn't know. Especially not in front of Jake, who would probably just try to insult me, or be rude. I heard Rory's phone vibrate, and I opened it because I thought it would probably be Mom. Instead, it was a text saying, "Rory-I heard that you're in CA and so I am I. Can we catch up some time before you go back East?"

I considered deleting it, but then I realized that wouldn't be right. I would just have to let Rory decide on her own if she wanted to let Logan back into her life or not.
