Chapter 7: Deja Vu
The day went by quietly, the students had a test and were thereby unable to talk to each other.
or distract each other.
The last 5 minutes of school, however, offered the students a chance at idol chit chat.
James smiled as he turned towards Alex "So Alex, I was thinking. Maybe later you and I could grab a smoothie." Logan felt a twinge of jealousy, silently hoping that a "yes" wouldnt escape her lips.
Theankfully, the bell interrupted Alex's response and within a matter of seconds Logan's desk was empty and he was halfway to the elevators.
Fresh air. Logan's mind was racing. Thats all I need- just a little fresh air. I dont even like her- so why do I feel so angry. Im happy for James I really am, I just need a little fresh air so I remember that I am. Fresh air.
With that final thought, Logan set off to find some "fresh air"
"Sorry, I cant im expecting an important call" Alex looked up. She half expected that the boy in front of her would be dissapointed, but the killer smile which seemed accustomed to his face still hadnt faded.
"Well then" confidence oozed out of everyone of James's words, "definitely some other time" He didnt give the girl an oppurtunity to agree or disagree but instead headed out the door and towards the pool.
Well at least I didnt have to lie Alex thought as she made her way to apartment 2D. Alex really was expecting a call. From Micheal Stevens the director of her upcoming movie.
As if on cue, the moment that Alex stepped into her apartment, the phone began ringing.
Mr Stevens proceeded to inform her that the first scene was being pushed up a couple of days and the writers had decided on a biking scene.
20 minutes later, Alex found herself, once again, in front of a mirror. This time, however, she wasnt scared. She wasnt happy. She was nervous and even embarassed...
Alex Bennet. Age 16. Superstar Actress. The face of Johnson's Sunscreen, the Welch's grape juice girl, the star of Thats so Wizard!' didnt know how to ride a bike. Always working when she was young, she had never found the time to learn.
Damn it. Well I guess im gonna have to learn now- at age 16. Damn.
I wonder if the Palmwoods rents out bicycles?
With that in mind, she made her way down to the lobby. An hour later, Alex Bennet found herself in Palmoods park. She was clad in kneepads, elbow pads, shin pads, arm pads, wrist pads, a helmet and every other degree of protection she could find. She had to give herself about 20 minutes worth of a peptalk before finally mounting herself atop the mechanism.
Now or never. Her right foot pushed gently upon the first peddle, and her left foot soon did the same. For a minute or two Alex actually felt secure; she was gliding along the pavement with what seemed to be ease. Maybe I can do thi-
Then for the second time that week, Alex felt something collide into her. The bike which only a minute ago had offered her a glimmer of hope slipped out from underneath her. It left her flying towards another bicylcist who had the misfortune to cross the clumsy girl's path.
In what seemed to be only a matter of seconds, Alex found herself on top of the other cyclist.
"Oww!" the body underneath alex was starting to groan in pain, "havent you ever ridden a bike before?"
Alex was offended by the comment. "Oh im fine, thanks for aksing!" her words were dripping with sarcasm, "And no, i havent, not that its any of your busine-" Alex had finally brushed the hair out of her face and was startled by what she saw.
Alex Bennet forgot what she was saying as she stared down at the brown haired boy beneath her. His usual smile was grimacing in pain and his normally comforting brown eyes were shut tight as he grasped his head.
"Logan!" her voice startled the boy beneath her causing him to finally open his eyes. Wow, Alex's mind started racing, Talk about Deja vu.
"Alex? What are you doing here? On top of me?"
"I... well... umm... my movie and a bike riding scene... and I had never ridden one so I rented one... and I thought I could do it... and the peddles were going round... but then they didnt... evil bike flew out from under me... I didnt want to hurt myself... so elbow pads and nee pads and helmet and wrist pads... but I didnt land on the ground... so I guess I really didnt have to look like a freak but I did... and the evil bike flew out from under me... I went flying and landed on... well I landed on you"
Logan stared at the girl speechlessly as if she had been speeking a different language.
"Sorry," she continued, "i umm hope I didnt hurt you"
Logan began coughing and was only able to murmer a quiet "still"
"Still what?" the girl questioned.
Logan finally overcame his pain and was able to whisper "Youre STILL on top of me"
"ohh, ooops!" Alex smacked her palm against her forehead. "i must be hurting you, are you ok?"
"umm" Logan was overcome by another fit of coughing "your... STILL... crushing my... lungs"
"ohh" Alex quickly scrambled to her feet allowing the body on the ground to finally breathe in. She watched as the smile finally replaced the look of pain on his face and as he sat up. This time she reached her hand out for him and quickly helped him to his feet. Wow, I swear weve been through this before.
"So" Logan had finally regained his breath, "what are you doing out here, besides apparently getting back at me for knocking you down in the lobby?" He smiled at the guilty -looking girl in front of him.
"oh haha, wow, it really wasnt like that." Alex laughed as she tried to explain herself to the boy, " I dont know how to ride a bike and well that was my attempt at learning"
I love that laugh, the sense of logic which usually ruled Logans mind had apparently vanished at the first sight of Miss Alex Bennet. He couldnt help it. His logic, his sense of restraint, his precautions had all melted away, and now all he wanted was to be around Alex.
"Let me help you" He flashed a crooked smile her way.
Awww, its that smile, but no I cant. Alex suddenly remembered the novel and the crinkled letter she had stared at no less then a couple hours earlier. No distractions. Neber Eber.
"No," she finally managed "I think I can manage just fine"
Logan frowned. "I swear im having some major deja vu, what do you have against me helping you"
Alex smiled as her thoughts drifted back to their moment in the hallway where she had similarly refused his help in finding her hotel room. She knew how this would end and judging by his growing smile so did he.
"Fine" She finally gasped.
"Fine what?" He teased.
She laughed as the scene repeated itelf. "Fine, I could use your help."
I love logan. ahhhh. but anyways. Please please please review.
