Logan and Veronica smiled at each other as Lily huffed.

"Hey Logan. You wanna go outside for a swim?" Lily asked.

"Yeah sure I guess..." Logan said as he smiled at Lily. Finally! Gosh...Why was he paying so much attention to Veronica...I mean I am his girlfriend. I'm not liking this new girl. Definitely not liking her. She's just so perfect...If anyone was the closest to perfect it'd probably be Veronica...She's such a loser...What a biznatch... Little did Lily know that Veronica wasn't what everyone made her out to be. Everyone expected Veronica to be perfect in every single way. (A/N: Omnious much?)

"Alright once dinner is done we can go in the pool for a dip." Lily said as she gave Logan a sexy grin. Logan gave her a lop sided smile in return. He looks so cute when he does that smile...

"Alright I guess dinner is done everybody. We'll be having some refreshments in the living room now." Celeste said as everyone stood up. Logan and Lily snuck off towards the pool as everybody made their way towards the living room.

"So Veronica, can't wait to start a new school?" Duncan asked as they both walked together. Yeah sure if you mean starting over as the new girl and having everybody watching your every move. Then sure I would love to start a new school.

"Yeah, I'm pretty nervous though..." Veronica said.

"Really?" Duncan said with a shocked expression. OH NO! Don't tell me that he thinks I'm going to be one of Lily's toadies. I'm no follower. I'm a leader. Especially after the way I lived in Beverly Hills everyone should be bowing at my feet.

"Like what?" Duncan asked with curiosity written all over his face.

"Oh you know every new girl's fears. Not fitting in." Veronica said as she inspected her nails. More like finding clones of Lily...Ugh! That'd be horrible.

"Well you shouldn't worry. I think you'll fit right in.." Duncan said as he patted Veronica on the shoulder.

"Duncan Veronica, you are excused. You can go to the pool." Celeste said. Duncan led Veronica over towards the pool where they could see Lily and Logan making out in the pool. Veronica crinkled her pert nose at the sight.

"I don't think I ever want to swim in your pool now..." Veronica said as Duncan chuckled at her comment.

"Hey! I have to deal with this everyday! You have it better!" Duncan said as they both laughed.

"You're right I do have it better." Veronica said as they both walked out of the house.

"HEY LOGAN CUT THE PDA!" Duncan shouted as the two turned around.

"AW MAN! BUT IT WAS JUST GETTING TO THE GOOD PART!" Logan shouted back. Lily flipped her hair as she got out of the pool.

"Hi Ver-ronica." Lily said as she strutted pass her with a smirk on her face.

"Hi Lily." Veronica said as she gave her a sickly sweet smile.

"You know honey, you might get wrinkles if you smile too much." Lily said as she wrapped a towel around herself.

"Yeah well your face might stay frozen with that horrendous smirk of yours!" Veronica shouted at Lily's retreating figure.Veronica sneered at Lily's back. She's just another stuck up brat. I'll get her... And she'll fall hard. As the saying goes, the bigger they are the harder they fall. Well Lily prepare to face your downfall as Miss. Popularity at Neptune.

"Soo Veronica. I see that Lily has taken a special liking to you." Logan said as he got out of the pool. Is it just me, or is it getting hot in here.

"Yeah, well most girls act hostile at me." Veronica said as she rolled her eyes. Logan and Duncan chuckled at each other.

"You should meet Duncan's girlfriend, Meg one day. She's one of the sweetest girls here in Neptune. Too sweet for my liking though." Logan said as Duncan punched him in the arm. That Meg girl reminds me of Elle...

"I'd love to meet her! When can I see her?" Veronica said perkily. After all, this Meg character reminded her of one of her closest friend in Beverly Hills.

"I guess you can meet her tomorrow. She's on the cheer leading squad. So I'm sure you two will have plenty to talk about." Duncan said as he smiled. Aww...That's so sweet! He's in love with Meg. Just like Elle and Brad.

"Sure, where do you want to meet?" Veronica asked.

"How about Dog Beach? I'm pretty sure your getting sick of the Kane residence." Logan said as Duncan punched him in the arm.

"Are you saying my house is boring?" Duncan said with mock hurt.

"Why darling, why would I ever say such a thing! I love you, remember that." Logan said as they both pretended to kiss. Veronica giggled at their foolishness. Just like Alex and Will.

"Sure, I'll meet you guys at Dog Beach. I'm pretty sure it's that beach I passed on my way home." Veronica said as she thought about how long it would take to get ready.

"Yup. There's only one beach here in Neptune." Duncan said. Veronica smiled at him.

"Hey guys, thanks again. You're making me feel...how do I say this? Like as if I'm back at Beverly." Veronica said as she re-entered the house and walked towards the living room. On her journey towards the door she was cut off by Lily.

"If you know what's good for you Veronica, you'll stay away from my friends." Lily whispered dangerously.

"And whys that, Lily?" Veronica said with an innocent look on her face. Lily laughed hollowly at her.

"I'm not blind like everyone else. I can see through your little Miss. Perfect act. You better watch out Mars. Wouldn't want to hurt that pretty little face of yours now do we?" Lily said.

"Okay, if your going all evil step mother on me. You better realize that this Cinderella is going to take you down. And I'm not afraid. About that last comment. You better watch out yourself wouldn't want for your face to look any uglier now do we?" Veronica said as she sneered at Lily.

"Whatever. You're just another Beverly Hills bratty little girl." Lily said. OH NO SHE DIDN'T! I AM NOT A LITTLE GIRL! THAT STUPID BIZNATCH!

"Excuse me, but can't you see that I'm no little girl." Veronica said as she stepped closer to Lily.

"Oh well, I didn't know. You know with your dress and all. You look like a tall kid." Lily said.

"Hey at least I look younger than I really am. Unlike some people. I don't look like a 30 year old housewife who has botox injections every month." Veronica replied.

"Now if you'll excuse me." Veronica said as she pushed Lily into the wall and walking towards the living room door.

"OH! And Lily, get ready to fall." Veronica said as she opened the doors.
