This was the one chapter I felt fit the story perfectly so I actually didn't change anything.

Chapter 3: Fighting Friends

M-POV

Michael was at the PCA basketball court shooting some baskets by himself. He was doing pretty good being able to focus only on the ball and making it into the hoop. Today seems like a pretty day for shooting baskets. It's pretty warm for the end of February. Hmmm... WAIT? What day is it? Umm lets see Monday was the 20th and today's Friday. Oh no, crap it's the 25th. Chase and the D.A. said the new roommate was coming today and I forgot to tell Logan. Oh well there's still time right? Logan will be here soon and I can just tell him then. It will all be fine; speaking of the Devil here he comes. Logan had just appeared from the trees and was slowly walking over to the to hoop. Michael pretended he didn't notice Logan and just kept shooting baskets.

Logan smirked thinking that his comment was extremely clever: You know I've seen girls make better shots than that and they were seventy years old.

Michael: Well hi to you too, pretty boy. Did you bring your game today?

Logan: Man you know I always got game, on the court and with the ladies.

Michael: Ya right, so did I miss anything?

Logan-POV

Logan: Man you always miss stuff. Well actually ya, the stupid D.A. assigned us a roommate without even warning us, what an ass. But the new guy seems kind of cool I guess but you know not nearly as cool as me.

When Logan mentioned the new roommate he noticed Michael didn't seem surprised or worried, like Logan would expect. What's up with Michael? Shouldn't he be surprise or shocked or something. I've known him for years now and he's definitely not surprised. He's... guilty? Oh shit what is he hiding? This is not going to go well.

Michael: Oh I guess a new roommate is a good thing. Not that I don't miss Chase and all but you know its been kind of lonely. They'd have to assign us a new roommate eventually right?

Logan: You know Michael you don't seem so surprised about the new roommate and you didn't say anything about the D.A. not warning us. What's up with that?

Michael had stopped shooting and was facing Logan but avoiding eye contact. There was an awkward silence that lasted for five minutes.

Logan: Well... Michael?

Michael: Well... Umm, you see while you were out on a date with Lena. The D.A. came by and told me that we were getting a new roommate. I was about to txt you to tell you before I forgot but then Chase called me. Apparently Chase was friends with this guy and met him in England. What's his name again? Oh ya Adam. Well Chase-

Logan: Wait you knew and you didn't tell me? You are a terrible roommate man. We've known each other for years and you don't tell me when we get a new roommate! Ugh, screw you, screw basketball, I'm leaving.

Logan started walking away back towards the dorms. Michael was too shocked by his sudden out burst of rage to even say anything. I can't believe Chase called him and not me. Michael didn't even tell me Chase called. We're supposed to be best friends, the three of us. I know I can be an ass sometimes but that's not my fault honestly. Screw this! Adam can be my new friend, I bet we have the most to talk to about since apparently I'm the one who knows nothing about him. It's bad enough I can't even get a date anymore but now my friends are hiding stuff from me?

Logan eventually made it back to the main campus. He didn't know where to go since his only plans for the day were ruined. His legs just took around campus, with no particular destination in mind. He walked for half an hour just counting the number of steps he took, to take his mind off his troubles. Finally something caught Logan's eye it was Quinn and her Boyfriend. She was sitting on a bench with Mark, hanging over every word he said. Mark however didn't really even seem to notice Quinn was next to him and never looked over at her.

Logan rolled his eyes as he saw the weird couple. Logan started talking to Quinn in his mind like she could hear him. Cause to Logan sometimes it seemed like Quinn could just read his mind. Wow Quinn can't you tell he's not into you like that? Mark is just dating you because, well actually no one really knows. But its definitely not because he's interested. I know that cause whenever you're not around him he looks at other girls. I know, I know, I do it too but hey at least I'm not in a 'committed relationship. Oh Quinn, you can do so much better than him. You know the sad part is Mark is doing better than me. At least he can hold onto a girl and its one that he's not even interested in.

Quinn started to lean in towards Mark and looked like she was going to kiss him. Logan quickly turned away not wanting to see the two teenagers kiss. Logan kept walking before anyone noticed he had been staring at the couple. Another half an hour passed by of step counting. Then suddenly Logan thought he heard someone call his name. Great now I lost count.

This time it was clear that it was his name: Hey Logan over here! Logan turned around to see Adam waving at him, and then stopping once he had Logan's attention. Logan walked over and he saw Lola standing to Adam's right, playing with her like a girl does when a guy makes her feel nervous. Oh ya Lola wants me. To bad she's a friend or else I could make some comment. Logan then noticed Zoey, smiling more then she has in weeks. I wonder what happened to her? Did she finally crack? Zoey isn't a weak person but come on she finally admits her crush on Chase and he's stuck half way around the world. Who wouldn't that drive insane? Wait Michael owes me five bucks for being right about Zoey always having a crush on Chase. I should probably apologize to him next time I see him. Logan had walked slowly over to where the three teenagers were waiting for him.

Zoey: Hey Logan we were just about to call you, Michael, and Quinn to see if you guys wanted to go to Sushi Rox. You in?

Logan: Sure, I guess. I don't really have any other plans so I guess I will allow you all to enjoy my presence.

Lola: Ya sure whatever you want to think Pretty Boy. Hey Zoey, I'll call Quinn and you call Michael ok?

Zoey nodded in agreement. Both girls got out there cell phones and pressed a key to call one of their friends. Lola got an answer first and not two seconds after Michael picked up his phone. Zoey hung up her phone and put it back in her pocket after she was done talking. Everyone just waited until Lola was done talking to Quinn.

Zoey: Michael said he can make it and he'll meet us there in about fifteen minutes.

Lola: Quinn will come but she's bringing Mark and her science book. Why does she have to bring them? I mean I understand the science book but why Mark?

Adam and Zoey started laughing a little bit, while Logan just smiled at the comment.

Adam: Shall we go? I'd lead but I don't exactly know where it is.

All of the teenagers started walking across the campus. Lola: Come on this way and take note or else I'll have to walk you to every single class for the next month.

Adam: I'd like that very much. I might just pretend to be lost so you can come help me find my way.

Lola started blushing. Logan: Man I'd recommend that you invest in some flare guns that way if you get lost you can just shoot it up in the air and we'll eventually find your body like a month later.

Lola and Zoey giggled. Zoey: Logan Reese did you just make a good joke? Wow this is definitely a first for me.

Logan: Hey you know I'm actually pretty funny. It's just all my attractiveness is so overwhelming nobody ever notices how funny my comments really are.

Adam: Just keep telling yourself that man. As long as you believe it there's still hope.

Logan smiled it was nice to be able to joke around with friends like this again. He didn't realize until then how long it had actually been since they've actually joked around for more than a second. With a smile on all their faces, they continued to Sushi Rox.
