(Author's Note) Still on Mid-winter break so I thought I'd try to write another chapter for you guys in that time. I know some of you like it because its put under your favorite stories so I guess I'll keep writing for you few people. If you like that one little review of 'I like it' would go a long way.
Just for a future note I'm changing the location of P.C.A. to just outside a town called 'Crescent City' and yes it's a real place still in California.
DEDICATED TO SOPHIE! 3
In that moment, two hearts began to beat together. Their lips met and they fell into each other. Quinn wrapped her arms around Logan deepening the kiss. Logan wrapped his arms around her hips. He picked her up, bridal style and carried her down to the chemical lab.
They walked out and sat in the hallway for hours just talking to each other. Enjoying the company. Quinn looked down to Logan Reese, his head resting in her lap. She smiled at him, leaned in and whispered: Logan Reese, I am completely and totally in love you and I always will be. She then leaned in and kissed him.
In the chemical lab if you looked around you would see what you would expect. Empty beakers lined up neatly. Chemicals labeled and put away. Bunsen burners with tubes hooked into the wall. If you looked at the center the room, there would be a clear, spotless, clean, and empty floor. No broken glass.
Chapter 9: Truths and Reasons
Q-POV
I love Logan Reese, I love him. For once Quinn Pensky's thoughts were about calculations. No calculating how long it would take to reach the other side of campus. Or the calculating the likelihood of the weather being good or bad. She no longer felt the need to figure out the probability if what she was going to say was the right thing.
For once her life Quinn knew she didn't need to. She had the most amazing boy in the world in her arms. Logic was thrown out the window. There is no logical reason why those two teenagers fell deeply and madly in love with each other. But Quinn finally realized there didn't need to be a logical reason.
Time ticked by. Thud. The door leading to the stairs around the corner had been opened. Crap what if it's a teacher.
Quinn: Quick, Logan get up.
Logan jumped up to his feet and offered a hand to Quinn. Quinn took his hand and quickly stood up.
Quinn: Thanks.
Quinn straightened out her shirt. When she looked back up she saw Logan staring at her. A smirk was across his face.
Quinn: What? Do I have something on my face?
Logan: No. It's just….. Nevermind.
Quinn: No tell me. Please
Logan: You're just so beautiful.
Quinn blushed and smiled at him. Then she noticed there was some of her lipstick stuck smudged on the corner of this mouth. Without saying anything Quinn used her thumb to clean it off. Logan then used his hand to hold Quinn's against his cheek. She blushed. He leaned in. They kissed, but quickly broke apart when they heard footsteps around the corner.
Oh its just Adam. I wonder what he wants?
A-POV
Adam was just about to turn around the corner when he recognized Logan's voice. What's he still doing here? Adam then just barely peeked around the corner at the right moment. Just in time to see Logan and Quinn kiss.
What? Did I really just see that? Oh Logan's mystery love struck girl. It all makes sense now. Adam started to walk around the corner and Quinn and Logan broke away. They probably don't want me to know.
Adam: Hey guys what's up?
Quinn and Logan awkwardly looked at each other and then said in unison: Nothing.
Adam: Ok well I got news. I ran by Mr. N and he told me he signed me up for the elections for class President!
Quinn: But I thought Mark was class President? Logan tightened his fists when he heard Marks name said. Quinn tried to say it emotionless but there was obvious distaste in her voice.
Adam: Well apparently he flunked out of IPS. And that got him kicked out of Leadership. And I've been tutoring in Mr. N's class recently so he figured I'd be a great candidate. But he knew I'd never run so he pulled some strings and got me signed up.
Quinn: Sounds like he has a lot of confidence in you. So what do you need me for.
Adam: Well we're only allowed to spend $50 and other than that its all about getting people to vote for you. Tim Burks and Shayla Perry are running so I need some help. Got any Quinnventions that I could use?
Quinn: Let me go through my journal back at the dorm room. Let's go. Logan you want to come with?
Logan: I'd love to. I mean its not like I have anything better to do.
They walked back to the girl's dorm room. Quinn was walking in the middle. Every ten seconds she glanced over at Logan. Whenever he caught her staring, he would smile and she would blush. They really don't expect me to notice this? Well just keep staring ahead and pretend you know nothing. Finally we're here.
Quinn walked in and nodded to Lola and Zoey to say 'hello'. She then ran over to the closet and pulled out a giant book. Crap how much inventing can a person do? This will probably become useful later though.
Adam: Hey girls. What's new?
Zoey: Nothing.
Lola: Well actually I ran in Mr. N and guess what he told me? You're running for ASB President?
Adam: Ya, it was kind of forced on me. You guys going to help me campaign though?
Zoey: Of course this going to be so much fun.
Lola: I call campaign manager!
Adam: Hahaha. Ok, Quinn you got anything?
Quinn: Well, I have a program that will let me put a picture on every computer and Lap Top on the school.
Adam: But what photo should I do? A video would be too long.
Lola: I don't know but give us awhile to think about it.
The night went on coming up with campaign ideas. Quinn found another Quinnvention to put Adam's name on the moon. Zoey and Lola came up a Slogan. Logan organized the school into different social groups and pinpointed key people he had connections to
Lola-POV
Lola's heart was racing. And it wasn't just because she had been running. Lola had tripped over a root. Adam was convinced she had sprained her ankle. Without another word he picked her up.
Adam was now walking to the nurses office with Lola in his arms.
Lola: Adam?
Adam: Ya?
Lola: Thanks for everything.
Adam: I'm just carrying you. Its not that much work.
Lola: No I mean coming here. It feels like things are no longer messed up. When Chase left, it was like part of all us left with him.
Adam: Oh. Really I actually came here because it was what was good for me.
Lola: What do you mean?
Adam: Lola, I trust you. What I'm about to tell you only three other people on the planet know about. The truth is I came here because Chase knew I needed it. Chase and I talked a lot and I became his best friend in England.
Chase became the first real friend I ever had. Sure I was popular, got asked out but none of it ever meant anything. They did it because I was either rich or good-looking. People were friends with me because they thought I could get them places. No one ever asked me to sit with him or her at lunch. My sister was busy with her friends but even then I hung out with her the most out of anyone.
One night, I woke up. I had a terrible dream one I had before. I walked up to the roof and convinced myself to jump. Right when I was about to Chase jumped out of nowhere and tackled me to the ground. He had to tie me to a chair so he could go get my sister.
Together they came up with the plan to send me here. I thought they were crazy to think it would make a difference. But then I met you and the others. I knew I had to be here I knew you all would care for me and I had to care for you. I knew life was worth living.
Lola: Oh Adam come here. Lola pulled Adam into a hug trying to fight any tears she felt coming on. Adam smiled and kissed her on the cheek and kept walking.
I can't believe I just did that. I told her everything and she let me kiss her. On the cheek but hell its still something.
Lola: So you said three people knew. Your sister and Chase. But whose the third person.
Adam: Zoey knows. I figure it was in that letter Chase had me give her. That's why she is always keeping an extra eye on me.
Lola: Oh. Ok… I think I just figured out what your photo is going to be.
Quinn: Are you sure about this? I know it won't get you disqualified but this is you.
Adam: I know but everyone I talked said it'll work. So its now or never eh?
Quinn: Okay.
Quinn typed some buttons on her computer and then stepped back. On every computer and even every TV on the campus a picture appeared. It was a picture of Adam. Shirtless but on he chest was written 'Vote for Adam Richards because he's a different type of candidate'. There was a unified laughter in through most of the school.
Thank you Lola. You're truly the most amazing girl I know.
Lola-POV
It was Election Day. Lola and Zoey were both pacing around their room. Soon the announcements were going to come over the PCA news. Adam and the other candidates were in a room already being told who had won the election. Logan and Quinn were off working on some extra credit science project. Michael was trying to flirt with Lisa down in her lounge.
Lola: Well I guess we better turn on the TV and find out right?
Zoey: Ya. Are you as nervous as I am.
Lola nodded and walked over to the TV to turn it on. Zoey sat down on her bed and patted the spot next to her.
Zoey: So you going to give Adam a victory kiss after he wins?
Lola began to blush. But before she could say anything, the theme music to the PCA news came on. Thank goodness. Come on Adam I believe in you.
Mr. N: Hello PCA. In case you didn't know I'm Mr. Neo, the activity coordinator for PCA. Lets get right to it. The new class president for the class of 2005 is… Adam Richards.
Zoey: YES! LOLA ADAM DID IT! WE DID IT!
Lola and Zoey were jumping up and down hugging. After the shock of it stuck in Lola decided to go find Adam. He deserves my congratulations. Maybe I'll get a hug or kiss as a thank you.
Lola: Hey Zoey I'm gonna go find Adam ok?
Zoey: Sounds good to me. I'll be here, when you get back. Go get your man Lola!
Lola blushed as she left. Deciding to grab a Blix in lounge first, she took a detour. While waiting she over heard Kate, one of the popular, stuck-up, and mean girls.
Kate: So that Adam fellow. Know where he is Summer. I'm going to go ask him out. There's no way he'll say no to me.
No. You're not right for him. Adam wouldn't want you. So what if you're popular and pretty. Oh crap he's going to say yes. He's going to say yes. Oh well Lola you had your chance time to move on.
Lola was going to walk back upstairs to find Zoey when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to find Tommy there with a huge cocky smile on his face.
Tommy: So Lola. You're single and I was wondering if you'd want to go out?
He's not Adam, don't do it. Maybe this will make Adam jealous and notice me. Ugh.
Lola: Tommy. I….. I'd love to.
