AN-I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo sorry that it's been so long since I have updated; but the last time I did was right before Thanksgiving, then I had like a week and half before finals started so I locked myself in a study bubble, then finals, Christmas, and my family is moving so the past month and half have been CRAZY. Anyways here is chapter 10; I'm not sure when I will get to updated this or any of my other stories, but please stick with me. And hopefully by the middle or end of February I will be able to go back to updating about every week. Again thank you for sticking with me.

Chapter 10

Veronica looked at herself in the mirror again, and became self conscious about her outfit all over again. After they had left the school Lilly drove all the girls over to her house where she disappeared, and came back out a few minutes later with a huge duffle bag. When all of them asked her what was in the bag she simply shook her head and told them that they would find out soon. Much to the group's horror Lilly had raided her closet for outfits for all of them. So that is how Veronica found herself almost two hours later still trying to figure out a way out of having to wear this.

"Lilly, please just let me wear my own clothes." Veronica whines as she turns and looks at all of her friends looking at her. "I mean come on, this..." She says gesturing down her body, "Belongs in a L.A. club, not Java The Hut here in Neptune." Veronica looks down at her outfit once again and cringes. Lilly had insisted she wear a bright blue dress that came to rest about two inches above her knee that showed off plenty back and cleavage, and a pair of what she affectionately called "fuck me" heels that were two inches, giving Veronica some much needed height.

"First off, shut up you look good. Second, that dress, my dear sweet Veronica, belongs on you, and since you are going to be at Java The Hut then by default it belongs there. Now be quiet so I can finish your make up, we are supposed to meet the guys in an hour.

"Lilly is there a reason you felt like playing Barbie with us, again?" Meg asks coming into the guest room that they had turned into their room that afternoon.

"Wait, this is a regular occurrence?" Betty asks from her place on the bed.

"Usually I just do the make-up and hair, but tonight is special." Lilly replies sharing a look with Mac.

"And what makes it so special?" Veronica asks nervously, unsure of what to make of the look her friends shared.

"Well..."Lilly starts then looks at Mac for help.

"You see, we were thinking that tonight might be the start of..." Mac faded out letting Lilly finish.

"You and....um Logan." Lilly finishes hesitantly.

"What do you mean me and Logan?" Veronica asks with narrowed eyes.

"Don't play dumb with me Mars; everyone else sees the way you two look at each other, the way that you get lost in each other's eyes. So don't say there is nothing going on." Lilly tells her with her hands on her hips, challenging her to say anything back.

"I don't know what you're talking about, we're just friends" Veronica replies shaking her head definitely.

"Come on Ronnie, I have been here all of a day, and even I can tell that there is a hell of a lot more going on with the two then just friends. You never looked at any one the way you look at him, not even Duncan." Betty says getting up and walking over to the group.

"Wait you mean she and Duncan were together?" Lilly asks, understanding why the boy in question didn't seem to like Logan.

"That explains a lot." Mac nods thoughtfully.

"Yes we were together, but not for a while. And what do you mean that explains a lot?" Veronica asks.

"Come on V, you must have seen how the boy was looking at you and Logan at lunch today, especially when the shower bit came up." Lilly tells her rolling her eyes at her friend's ability to overlook other people when she's talking to Logan.

"Are you sure? I mean he could have just been-"

"Still hung up on you." Betty supplies for Veronica. "Veronica I love you, but you are so clueless. Duncan was trying to kill the guy with the power of his mind."

"No, we're over. He broke up with me; he's not still hung up." Veronica says definitely.

"You might be over it and not want it to be true, but baby girl he still pinning over you." Betty tells her soothingly.

"It doesn't matter." Veronica says quietly, "I don't feel the same way, I've moved on."

"With Logan." They all say in unison.

"Ugh. Guys come on, just because he knows stuff about me doesn't mean we should be together. Just because I smile every time I see him, or the fact that when we talk I forget everyone around, just because that kiss was one I have ever had or probably will ever have doesn't mean any..." Veronica fades out finally realizing what they were trying to convince her of. She looks at all of her friends and they all just smile knowingly at her. "How? What? When did this happen?" Veronica asks dumbfounded.

"I'd say about the time you two realized you hated each other because you were exactly the same." Mac tells her with a smile.

"Yeah I guess." Veronica says still wrapping her around this new revelation.

'What the HELL am I suppose to do now?'

While the girls went over to Logan's to get ready, the guys headed over to Luke's to hang out until they were suppose to meet up with the girls at Java The Hut. When they got there they all decided that a run at the X-Box was needed, so now two hours later they all were still sitting down in front of the huge plasma screen TV in Luke's living room.

"So Logan, what's up?" Casey asks as his character gets killed once again.

"What's up with what?" Logan asks, eyes never leaving the screen.

"You know… with you and Veronica." Wallace supplies from his place on the couch.

"Nothing, we're just friends." He answers a little too quickly.

"Uh-huh. And that would explain how you're wrapped around her finger." Casey says laughing.

"Or that goofy look one your face every time you look at her." Luke continues.

"Or the kisses, as in plural." Wallace adds raising his eyebrows.

"Or the fact that you talk about her all the time." Dick says smirking.

"I have officially turned into a girl, haven't I?" Logan asks looking at his friends.

"Oh yeah." They all say laughing.

"What do you mean kisses?" Duncan asks.

"Oh nothing, just today in the parking lot." Casey says trying to break the tension.

"Don't forget the one yesterday, oh, or them spooning last night." Dick adds oblivious to the uneasiness that has taken over the room.

"So what, are you two together?" Duncan asks through a clenched jaw.

"No." Logan replies sounding a little disappointed.

"But they will be." Wallace says not looking up from the bag of chips he is currently inhaling.

"What?" Logan asks.

"Come on man you gotta see the way she looks at you too. I mean, just look at lunch, dude I'm telling you she feels the same way. Even if she doesn't realize it yet." Luke says walking into the kitchen.

"Really?" Logan asks unsure.

"Trust us." Wallace reassures his friend.

Logan just smiles from ear to ear; thinking that tonight might be fun after all.

LoVeMaDiLoVe

The girls pulled into the parking lot, and saw that the guys had already arrived. Veronica started to get a flutter in her stomach. For the last twenty minutes she had been worrying about what to do tonight. She wasn't sure if she was ready to make any moves on the whole Logan issue, and she sure as hell had no idea what to do about Duncan, but she knew that if it came down to it she would end up on her new friend's side.

As they walk in to the coffee shop, a wave of uneasiness washed over Veronica. "Guys what am I suppose to do?" She asks her friends coming to a stop in the doorway when she sees Logan at the table.

"Just act normal." Mac reassures her.

"I say you throw yourself at him, but that's just me." Lilly says as she pulls the Veronica over towards the table.

"Yeah, Lil not everyone is as over the top as you." Meg says laughing.

"But that's why you love me."

"Um…guys not that I'm not all for the why we love Lilly game, but I have a problem and I need some serious help." Veronica pleads her back to the table as they arrive.

"Need help with what?" Logan asks, only hearing the end of their conversation, and doing more than just a little staring at V in her dress.

"Nothing." All the girls say, Veronica looking down nervously biting her lip, Betty looking amused by her usual confident friend's behavior, and the other three try not to laugh.

"Ok." Logan replies looking confused.

"So you guys think of what you want to sing?" Lilly asks the group of guys excitedly, her only answer is a group groan.

'You can do this Veronica, you can do this…Who the hell am I kidding, I can't do this.'

So what did you think?? Love it, hate it….review and let me know…
