In Veronica's first period, she received a note from Logan.
Please meet me at the greenhouse during lunch. I want to see you again.
Logan
Veronica read it with a smile on her face. She really liked Logan. She just hoped that he would reciprocate her feelings. If only lunch would come sooner she thought to herself as she stared at the clock begging the second hand to move just a little bit faster.
Veronica practically skipped up the steps to the greenhouse at lunch and she was very pleased to see Logan there already waiting for her.
"Hey," Logan said, "I wasn't sure if you would show."
"Well, here I am," she replied with a smile on her face.
"Veronica, did you feel anything when we are together?" he asked rather hopefully.
Veronica sighed and smiled back at him. "Do you remember back when we were in kindergarten?" Logan nodded, wondering where she was going with this. "Back in kindergarten, it was so easy to meet new people and instantly become friends. It did not matter where you were from. It did not matter what race or intelligence you had. It is kind of what it is like when I sang with you the first time over break. It just seemed so easy and made so much sense, the pieces fit with no questions asked."
Logan nodded at her. "I think that we should just go back to kindergarten. It was so much easier there," he said with a smile on his face. "I like being friends with you, Veronica. With you, everything is so simple and it fits in all the right places."
Veronica looked at him with a smile on her face. It was nice when life could be so simple and there were no other cares in the world.
Troy had finally gathered up the courage to talk to Lily Kane at lunch. He walked up to her lunch table.
"Lily, I want to ask you something," he said. Lily looked at him with a look of disgust, but nonetheless, he continued on talking. "Have you ever been to a basketball game? They are so awesome. You should come watch me play sometime."
Lily looked at him incredulously. "As if," she said. "I would rather stick needles into my eyes than watch you play that stupid game." With that, she walked away, leaving Troy in the dust wondering why he had chosen such a direct approach.
"Hey man," Dick said as he saw Logan enter the locker room. "What's hanging? I haven't seen you around in a while."
"Yeah, man," Sean, a fellow basketball player said. "Our team kind of sucks without you."
"Dude, why is that Veronica chick taking up all your basketball time? I thought you cared about basketball more than some chick. You know that a girl is not going to get you a basketball scholarship for college," Casey, another basketball player said.
"Look, guys, I honestly did not know that it meant that much to you. If you must know, Veronica means nothing to me compared to you guys. You guys are my teammates. Comrades for life. She is just a way to pass the time," Logan said. He knew that Veronica would never hear any of it.
However, little did he know that, there was a camera in Dick's locker that heard every single word and later that day Wallace showed the tape to Veronica.
Veronica could not believe that Logan would be so mean. She thought that he actually cared about her, but obviously she was wrong. She went back up to the greenhouse to consult her thoughts.
I thought you were my fairytale
A dream when I'm not sleeping
A wish upon a star
That's coming true
But everybody else could tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
When there was me and you
I swore I knew the melody
That I heard you singing
And when you smiled
You made me feel
Like I could sing along
But then you went and changed the words
Now my heart is empty
I'm only left with used-to-be's
Once upon a song
Now I know yo're not a fairytale
And dreams were meant for sleeping
And wishes on a star
Just don't come true
Cause now even I tell
That I confused my feelings with the truth
Cause I liked the view
When there was me and you
I can't believe that
I could be so blind
It's like you were floating
While I was falling
And I didn't mind
Cause I liked the view
Thought you felt it too
When there was me and you
Logan caught Veronica in the hallway after class.
"Hey," he said. "What's up? Have you had a good day?"
Veronica looked at him incredulously. She could not believe men sometimes. "Logan, I do not want to talk to you anymore. You can forget the musical," she said dejectedly.
"Why not?" Logan asked.
"Logan, you told your basketball buddies that I mean nothing to you and if that's the case than I could not be wasting my time talking to you."
With that, Veronica walked away, leaving Logan sad and dejected. How had Veronica learned what he had told his friends? Logan thought to himself. It was only guy talk used in order to get Dick and other guys off his back, but somehow Veronica had heard it. Dejectedly, Logan walked to his next class, wondering if his day could get any worse.
