Logan is reading an anatomy and physiology book beside the pool. He reads a few pages before he realizes he hasn't been concentrating on it. He closes the book in disgust and lays it down on the concrete beside his lounge chair. The thoughts of Summer race through his mind as the California sun beats down on him. He closes his eyes and shakes his head defiantly, trying to banish the memories of her away. He wonders if he is doomed with women; first Camille and now with Summer. The more Logan thinks along these lines the more depressed he makes himself.

He scans the pool area desperately looking for something to take his mind off of everything that has happened. His heart sinks in his chest as he watches Summer make her way over to some other guy. This guy is older than Logan but Logan can not believe what he is seeing. She laughing and carrying on like nothing ever happened between them; Logan feels betrayed and played yet again. He grabs his book and hurries away from the scene unfolding in front of his now tear filled eyes.

The Palm Woods Lobby

Carlos and Gwen see a distraught Logan run through the lobby, and Carlos goes to try and aid his now sobbing friend. He can't move due to Gwen having a vice like grip on his left hand. Carlos forgets he is holding her hand until this point. That's one of things that attracts her to Carlos; his impulsivity. Her smile quickly fades as he shakes his hand free of hers and runs off after his Good Luck Patrol buddy. Gwen is left standing stunned thinking that Carlos ditched her and chose his best friend over her.

"Hey Logan wait up my man" says Carlos panting. He puts a hand on Logan's shoulder and is doubled over trying to catch his breath. Logan watches it with amusement and bewilderment.

"You know you really should stand straight up to catch your breath. Your accessory muscles can't be used if you are bending over like that" Logan says. His smile fades though as he remembers the scene from the pool. He wants to get away but by this time Carlos has regained his breath and Logan knows Carlos has always been a faster runner than he has.

"What is wrong with you Logan?" Carlos asks with his customary bluntness. "I've never seen you cry in public, except for that one time Scud depantsed you in front of the cheerleading squad. You've been acting different lately and I just want to know if there is anything I can do" Carlos continues looking at the other boy with concern filled eyes.

"Naw man there isn't anything anyone can do. I just have the worst luck in the world with women" Logan says shaking his head. His eyes go very wide as he remembers something, "Shit man what am I going to do? I am going to have to see her every day because I got her a job as our new choreographer." Logan starts hyperventilating as Carlos grabs his bottled water and tosses it in Logan's face to bring him back to reality. The tactic works and Logan starts breathing normally again. "I'm sorry Carlos but I don't think I can stand seeing another ex every day the way I have to with Camille. It's bad enough I saw her with some other guy at the pool today."

"What are you talking about?" Carlos asks confused. He thought Logan was only upset over the fact that he didn't have a girlfriend anymore.

"Yeah I saw her down at the pool talking and laughing with some other dude" Logan says bitterly. Carlos's eyes flash darkly at thought of someone hurting his friend. Without saying a word he jumps up and puts on his helmet and he walks back down to the lobby. He watches the people by the pool and spots the two people he needed to talk to.

He walks over to the two people and stands there glaring at the two people until they notice him. Before they can say anything, Carlos goes on a tirade. Calling them all sorts of names and asking how they could do that to a sweet and caring kid like Logan. He is all worked up and causing a scene in front of the two confused people. Carlos runs out of breath and the guy and the girl look at each other.

The girl speaks up first, "I know Logan is a great guy, that's why I've fallen for him." The guy sitting beside her looks stunned at this news, she turns to him and says "it's true, he is one of the most amazing people you will ever meet. I hoped I would get to introduce you two today. Now it is Carlos' turn to look confused as he turns back and forth between them searching for an answer. Summer looks at Carlos now, "this is my brother, not some new guy Carlos." Summer looks annoyed that she even has to explain about this.

Carlos's relief is so powerful it nearly brings him to his knees. "I need to go tell Logan this exciting news" he says hopping to his feet and running off in search of Logan. Carlos barely makes it to the lobby when he sees Stephanie sitting there by herself looking miserable. All thoughts of Logan flew from Carlos' brain when he sees Stephanie sitting all by her lonesome. He makes his way over to her and he sees that her eyes are red and puffy from crying.

He takes a seat beside her and puts his arm around her and pulls her close. She burrows deeper into him and snuggles close. Carlos smiles and says "I promise everything will be alright Stephanie." At that point Gwen comes back down into the lobby and sees Carlos holding his ex. Carlos looks up in time to see Gwen flee from the lobby knocking people and things from her way. He tries to get up and chase after her but Stephanie's arms are around his waist and he can't move. He sits back down and buries his face in his hands; not knowing what to do or where to turn next.
