Chapter 2 – Back Stage Rumors

He is known as the funny guy, and truthfully he doesn't care. Being the funny guy is what got him his own girl. Michael sighed with the thought of Lisa. That's what his day and night dreaming mostly consisted of, his dear Lisa...but of course no one would know that he called Lisa his dear Lisa. The reason was because they weren't really a couple. Only -sadly- in his dreams of course.

Grumbling he sat in his dorm room spinning his chair in boredom. That was until Chase came in followed by Logan.

"Come on man just admit it," Chase rolled his eyes at Logan.

"I have nothing to admit! There is nothing going on," Logan said as he threw up his hands.

"Then tell me exactly why you have Lola's shoes? There is something on between the both of you isn't there!" Chase exclaimed as he threw himself down onto his bed with a grin.

Logan, able to talk himself out of anything quickly changed the subject turning towards Michael, "dude I was just wondering if we are still on for a game of hoops later?"

Michael looking back and forth between Chase and Logan nodded his head, "yea definitely man and no I will not ask what's going on. I am not getting in the middle of this talk about Lola's shoes."

"Thank you!" Logan threw his hands up in the air glad to have someone not question him about Lola's shoes.

Seeing his face of annoyance sent to Chase Michael couldn't help but add his input, "but you know it's kinda weird that you're holding on to them."

Logan threw his hands up again this time in a 'why me?' sort of way. Stooping down picking up Lola's shoes ones more he turned swiftly to the door pulling it open with force, "I'm going to look for Lola some more because I have to return her shoes. Which she gave to me last night when I met up with her on the beach. There happy, satisfied with why I have Lola's shoes!" With that said Logan stormed out of their dorm in huff.

Michael started to snicker silently along with Chase. The curls on Chase's head tilted when he did, "he forgot her socks," was all he commented before they both burst out laughing.

"I'm guessing Logan won't have time for a game of hoops then? And what's up with him lately...he's been all I don't paranoid or something," Michael asked Chase wondering if he even knew anything going on with their third room mate.

Chase shrugged, "your guess is as good as mine buddy. Ever since him and Quinn," Chase actually shuttered slightly, "well you know he's been...less cranky then normal even for Logan. But recently Logan's just been kind ditching everyone at random times and stuff."

"You think he's cheating on Quinn?" Michael wondered out loud eyes growing large.

"Naw man nothing that serious. Yet I think it's something else, maybe he's starting to like someone else," Chase said as he cast a look down at the colour socks which belonged to Lola.

Catching on quickly Michael nodded his, "yea I think you're right man," then he grinned a plan forming in his head, "I think this calls for Operation: find out what Logan is up to because it seems to be very suspicious!"

Chase stared hard at Michael, "why not keep it more simple...like Operation: colourful socks?"

"Or we could call it that," Michael grumbled getting off of the spiny chair, "but first we gotta find out where he is. Then we go from there."

Quickly both of the guys each grabbed onto their tech-mates making sure that they would text each other if either of them spotted Logan. Splitting up Michael decided to check out the normal places Logan would be, basketball court, the lounge, Sushi Rocks. While Chase decided to be a bit sneakier. Chase went to all the places that Lola would normally be...because he knew that Logan was looking for Lola meaning that if he found Lola he'd find Logan.

As Michael looked around asking various people if they saw Logan, most responses were a no, some of them said he went that way or this way. None really answered where Logan Reese was. Sighing Michael look a seat in Sushi Rocks with a deep frown.

Unknown to him Lisa the girl of all his thoughts walked in with a determined stride. Looking around the place Lisa spotted the one person she was tracking all day. Michael was in deep thought when Lisa tapped him on the shoulder. Turning around ever so slowly he saw her in a beautiful bright light and angels singing, shaking his head to clear out the image. Instead of the bright light and angels she had on a sour expression and crossed arms.

"L-Lisa? Hi, um sit. I mean have a sit- seat-" he stumbled over his words nervously and when he stood up in surprise he banged his knee on the table cursing under his breath.

"I hope you know I had to ask at least ten different people if they knew where you were," was Lisa's reply as she sat down beside Michael.

"Me? Why were you looking for me?" Michael asked with a large grin on his face.

Though that grin was quickly wiped off his face with her reply, "well you know your friend Logan right? I and plenty of others was wondering if it's true?"

"If what's true?" Michael asked disappointed that she was looking all over just to talk to him about Logan of all people.

"Is Logan cheating on Quinn?" she asked with a great amount of wonder in her face.

"Wait what...? No – no he didn't what gave you that idea anyways?"

Lisa only gave a shrug, "well everyone knows how Logan is and everyone knows how Quinn is...so people started talking and then this came out of no where," pulling out her phone Lisa showed him something that wasn't right. Logan on the beach with his hand on some girl...but it definitely wasn't Quinn. Michael's heart seemed to skip a beat as he looked at the picture, it was easy to make out Logan's features but the person beside him was unknown. Maybe this was why he's been acting paranoid, thought Michael.

Still Michael tried to defend his friend, "well who every that is maybe it's not Logan. He would not do that to Quinn no matter what people say."

Getting up Michael made a quick exit, realizing that Lisa his dream girl was nothing more then a gossiping girl. Letting out a shaky and heart broken sigh Michael trudged through the campus into the lounge. Though his dream girl was crushed his mood was seriously lightened when he spotted Zoey and Nichole chatting in front of the TV.

"No Nicole we aren't going to watch the animal channel or the shopping channel," Zoey grabbed the remote from her friends hand.

"But come on Zoe, I barely get out of this place and I need some of my fashion to keep me going," Nicole bobbed her head in a puppy dog fashion.

"No," Zoey stressed again before she began to channel surf. Seeing Michael out of the corner of her eye she waved him over, "hey Michael you mind if you keep Nicole here away from the TV and maybe get her some fresh air or something."

"Yea! Come on Michael I need to go outside before I go crazy!" Michael (un)willingly got dragged outside by a very talkative Nicole.
