A/N:: Happy Easter! this chapter was so hard to write... I currently have to wear this dumb brace on my right hand because of an Easter egg hunting accident. the deadliest.

At lunch, Dakoda, Lola, Zoey, Logan, and Chase sat down at the table, each carrying their own lunch tray.

"Hey…" Zoey started, looking around confused.

"Where's Michael?" Chase looked up suddenly, realization hitting him.

"Oh no." Michael had said he was just going to lie down for a bit…..

"He must still be sleeping."

Dakoda and Logan headed to their study hall when lunch had ended. Although Chase was in their next class, he had offered to go wake Michael up.

"So how'd the talk go?" Dakoda grinned at Logan. After their little talk in Mr. Laski's classroom, Logan was left heart broken and definitely still confused.

"You know he kissed me. That's what was up." Dakoda gawked at him. She was about to say something along the lines of "Oh my god! That's great!" but the hurt look of depression was all too obvious on Logan's face.

"What happened?" she asked softly

"We both said it was a mistake, and we're going to pretend it never happened." He summed up, never looking Dakoda in the eye. He had been so close to being with the only person he had ever truly fallen in love with...

"Oh." she said. Maybe that was all she could find to say.

They arrived at their study period class room and they both sat down at two desks close by each other.

Seconds before the bell rang, Chase and Michael rushed in the door and took their seats.

"Ok, kids." the teacher said sternly.

"I want NO TALKING this hour." She looked around the room strongly.

"That's only because she has a hangover." John yelled out from the back of the room. The teacher darted her eyes to where he was sitting, but proceeded to take attendance anyways.

Chase passed a note to Logan with a smile.

"So I still feel bad for last night, but since we're forgetting it ever happened, Michael and I have decided to see that chick-flick tonight. I know its not your thing, but you in?" Logan pocketed the note, and took out another piece of paper.

"A chick-flick? Wow. But whatever, sure, I'll go with you." Logan passed the note back, but it was intercepted by John, as he walked by.

"What the hell?!" Logan yelled, standing up. The teacher 'shh'ed him loudly. John read the note than started laughing.

"What, you two fags going on a date?" He laughed. Logan felt his blood boil.

"No. Chase, Michael and I are three friends who are going to see a ridiculous movie because we happen to get joy out of making fun of dumb shit." Logan said between gritted teeth.

John laughed again.

"Right. That's why you two were kissing in the hall last night." he said smugly. Logan gawked, not sure what to say, and Chase looked like he was about to run out of the room. Michael looked from Logan to Chase, then back to John.

"John?" Dakoda asked, walking over to him. He turned to look at her just as her first came full force into his nose. He stumbled to the ground and cried out in pain.

The teacher came running over, worried.

"What happened?!" She got down to basically cradle John. Dakoda stared at her for a minute than said

"I punched him." The teacher looked beyond furious.

"GO TO THE DEAN'S OFFICE!" She pointed to the door.

"Chase, Logan, can you help John to the nurse's?" She asked, as Dakoda was heading to the door. Chase bit his lip, and Logan hesitated.

Dakoda grabbed a pen off the desk nearest to her and threw it at Logan. Logan caught it with trouble, then turned to look at her.

She motioned for them to take him to the nurse, as the boy who owned the pen glared at her.

"Sure we can." Logan said as brave as he could. Chase just looked at the ground. They each had one of John's arms around the neck, and the three boys left the room; Dakoda was already far ahead.

"So really. You two were kissing in the hallway. I saw it." John said between his over-dramatic moans of pain.

Neither of the boys replied.

"So you two a couple?" He egged them on. Logan felt his body tense up.

"No." Chase replied, as level as he could.

"But you kissed." John pointed out again.

"And you fell down a stair case. Oh wait, no, that doesn't happen yet." Logan quipped back. John frowned.

"faggots…" he muttered. The next thing anyone knew, Logan had ripped him from chase's grip, and had him pressed against the wall by his shirt.

"What did you call me?" Logan asked darkly. John hesitated for a moment, then grinned.

"F" he started.

"A" Logan cringed lightly.

"G" Logan pulled his fist back.

"FAG." Logan punched John in the side of the face. Chase seemed to snap out of whatever trance he was in, as John fell to the ground, cradling his eye/nose area.

"Logan!" Chase came over to Logan, not believing what he just saw. How could Logan be so sensitive to a word after only one simple kiss? …unless… no… not Logan…

"Logan?" Chase nearly whispered. Logan looked at Chase from over his shoulder, a dark look in his eye.

"Sorry Chase. I just REALLY can't stand that word." Logan walked past John, and kicked his side for good measure. He kept walking. Chase watched him, before looking down at John. He had never known Logan to be so…

Chase got down on his knees and helped John up. John was basically sobbing now, so Chase escorted him to the Nurse's office. The nurse asked what happened, and Chase told her he fell down some stairs.

"right John?" Chase asked. John looked up at Chase, scared, but just nodded.

As Chase left the nurse's office, he noticed Dakoda leaning against the wall across the hal from him.

"Where's Logan?" She asked.

"I don't know. Beat the shit out of John, then took off." Chase mumbled as they started walking back to their class.

"Why?" Dakoda asked, but not surprised.

"John wouldn't drop it. And he called us 'faggots'" Dakoda stopped walking, tears welling up in her eyes. Chase looked back, and walked up to her. He raised his hand to rub her shoulder, but stopped just short, not really knowing what to do.

"Bert use to call him that. Ironic. But of course dad doesn't know about Logan…I can't understand why… but even though he was… Dad would never accept if Logan was gay." Dakoda mumbled. Chase just stared at her. He didn't know what else to do, so he hugged her. Chase could feel his mind racing, but only one question came up over and over. 'Logan really is gay?'

Dakoda sniffled, and pulled back, signaling that she was ok. The two headed back to their study hall room when Dakoda said

"Why don't you and I just ditch the rest of class." Chase stared at her. He wasn't really the kind of person to do that sort of thing. But… this was Logan's sister…. The sister of the boy he had slowly been falling for over the last few months….

"Yeah, ok." He followed her as she started to head to the girl's dorm.

"You smoke?" She asked, taking out a box of cigarettes. Chase looked at her astonished.

"No!" He said defensively. She just laughed.

"Of course not. Logan always hated it when I'd smoke." She put a cigarette in her mouth and lit it, blowing smoke out as she walked.

"Yeah, you know its bad for you." Chase pointed out.

"Yeah so is McDonalds, but you don't see an age limit on that." She took another drag.

"Yeah, you're Logan's twin which means your also not even seventeen. You're underage!" he exclaimed, trying to avoid the smoke. Dakoda laughed.

"Nice detective work, Nancy Drew." She just smiled. Chase pouted, but said nothing.

As they approached the girl's dorm building, they saw Logan just sitting on the bench outside, as though waiting for them.

"Hey, Ditchers." Logan smiled.

"Second class in one day. And its my first day!" Dakoda laughed.
