Logan walked down the silent, empty hallway on the way to the bathroom. He didn't actually need to go, but he needed to take a break from class. He'd been stressed lately, Carlos had called him every night and Logan would have to talk him to sleep. He wasn't taking the Jennifer thing too well.

He reached the boys' bathroom when he heard a strange sound coming from the girls' room. It sounded like crying. Logan wanted to help, but was hesitant to enter the ladies' room. The crying became progressively louder and he decided to just go in and help whoever was in there.

He slowly opened the door and covered his eyes. "Awkward teenage boy entering for the sake of crying girl!"

He heard a giggle in between sobs. "Come in." she choked out.

Logan uncovered his eyes and saw Jenny Tinkler, crying in front of the bathroom sink. Her nose was bleeding and she looked like someone had punched her. Logan approached her slowly, not wanting to startle her. She continued to throw bloody toilet paper wads in the sink.

"Um, what happened Jenny? I'm assuming you're not okay…"

She shook her head and wiped her tears with some toilet paper. "I tripped in the hallway. I tripped and fell flat on my face. Right in front of my ex and his girlfriend. They were laughing at me. There was blood everywhere, Logan. I'm just sick of being so clumsy and destructive and embarrassing myself…"

Logan put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't say that, you're not 'clumsy and destructive', you're just a little uncoordinated is all. And what's wrong with that? So your ex and his stupid girlfriend laughed at you? He's not worth it. You deserve better."

"No I don't. Because I'm afraid if I meet the right guy that I'll hurt him. All I do is destroy, destroy, destroy."

Logan' stomach sunk, I can totally relate to that. "I know what you mean. It's like everything I touch dies; pets, plants, you name it…"

Jenny perked up. "You can't keep things alive either? I've gone through at least ten fish this month alone…"

Logan chuckled. "When Carlos Garcia and I were doing our plant bio project, I wouldn't even let him keep the plants in my house."

Logan and Jenny laughed together. Jenny's nose had stopped bleeding, Logan smiled at her. "You're quite interesting..."

"You too, Logan. I always thought you were interesting. I noticed in the seventh grade you began looking tired all the time, I was always curious as to why…"

She noticed me before Carlos and I became friends…? "I have insomnia. But you know, I think I'm getting used to it."

"Well, that's always good."

Jenny started cleaning up the mess she left in the sink. Logan watched her with butterflies in his stomach. He felt strange, almost sick. It was not a familiar feeling. "Hey Jenny?"

She looked up from the sink. "Yeah?"

"Are you busy Friday?"

She smiled a smile that could make a guy fall head over heals. Just like Jennifer, Logan thought to himself. "No. And whatever it is, I would love to."

Logan nodded. "Alright then. Awesome."

Jenny pulled out her phone. "Phone number?"

Logan gave her his phone number and told her he'd text her the details of their date later. Jenny smiled. "Thank you so much Logan. You better get out of here though, the bell is going to ring any minute now."

Logan made run a for the door when the bell rang. They laughed and he bolted out of the girls' room before anyone could see him.

Logan awkwardly twiddled his thumbs at a table at the restaurant waiting for his date. What if I get stood up…? He hoped and prayed that Jenny would just come already; he was really excited for his first date. The waitress eyed him and gave him an eyebrow raise. Finally, Jenny stumbled in the door, with an exhausted look on her face. She sat herself across from Logan.

"I'm so sorry I'm late, Logan. You will never believe what happened. I ran over a squirrel on the way here, but somehow it caused a flat tire so I had to call my dad to change it and, well I think you get the point."

Logan smiled at her. She's so cute… "It's fine. Sucks about the squirrel though, poor guy."

"I know! I just hate it when things die. It's so sad. And I see it all the time because I'm so clumsy and all and I can't keep a pet or plant alive… I know it's a natural process but it's still hard for me to just brush it off."

"Yeah me too. I'm glad I finally met a person who feels the same way."

"Yeah. Same here. I don't know why, but no one is as sensitive to death as I am. It's not that it scares me, I mean, with my job I could never be afraid of death, but…"

Logan grew wide-eyed. Is she a Reaper too? "Oh your job? What do you do for a living?"

Jenny suddenly looked nervous. "I'm a vet's assistant. It's not really a job though, it's more of an internship. I want to be a veterinarian."

Logan calmed down. False alarm. "Oh. That sounds very interesting. I want to be a doctor. Why do you want to be a vet?"

"I figure it would make up for all the things I kill. I mean, between all the pets and the road kill and the times my father took me out hunting, I've killed hundreds of animals. And I love animals, I want them to live."

Logan had never felt such a connection in his life. He had never had that much in common with one human being before. "You really are something Jenny Tinkler…"

I'm starting to sound like Carlos…

"Why were you out so late? I needed to talk to someone, Logan. I needed you." Carlos snapped over the phone.

Carlos' endless night calls still hadn't stopped coming. Logan really cared for his friend, and really liked being needed for something other than Reaping, but the calls were getting somewhat annoying.

Logan sighed. "I'm sorry Carlos, I was out."

"With who?"

"Jenny Tinkler."

Carlos laughed on the other line. "You two are perfect for each other. I'm happy for you, man."

"I'm glad. I'm glad that you're happy about something for once."

Logan wondered what Carlos was like before the whole Jennifer situation. He had heard from people that Carlos was never, ever upset. Logan wanted to see that Carlos…

"I just wish she would love me again…." Carlos whined.

Logan was going to get Carlos back to normal, he had to. Carlos was on the brink of total insanity. "Carlos! Look at you! You need to get back your mojo! You rule this school, you could get any girl you want! Just forget about her! You're only going to lose your mind until you forget about Jennifer!"

There was silence for a while on the other line.

"I'll try."
