Chapter two

Although the town is not large, you may even meet three acquaintances just walking on any street, but it still has complex social relations. The Kane family is the most powerful family in the Neptune town, and they has two kids in the family who are both at the same same school as Veronica. But she has never met them before. She even didn't think about it. But life will always surprise you no matter if you want. Quoting a speech from Veronica in the future, "Life is a bitch until you die."

It had been a long time since the first day of school, and nothing big happened. But Veronica has been a little famous in the new school. And one thing strange is she can meet the player Logan almost everyday. And he become more and more mischievous, he passed notes to her on class once had been caught by Professor Smith. He always stand in the way of V, and has a good mobility to change the way he stand in following Veronica until she shoves her away. The most annoyed thing for Veronica is when she bickers with Logan, she always lose her speed mind and becomes stupid...

She also met a new girl in the cheering squad. The first time Veronica see her, she was in a slinky silver dress which accentuates her graceful figure perfect. She was speaking something with a group of boy in a high mood. In fact, if you look into the crowd, she will be the first one you catch.

When she see Veronica, her sharp and clever eyes give a smile to V and then she walks to her through the crowd. Veronica just waits around where she is because she feel like being enchanted by the girl's glance so that she is waiting for the girl to walk into her life.

" Look at you! May I give you a little dressing advice?" The girl gives a little chuckle, " I'm Lily Kane, nice to meet you."

"Oh hi~I'm Veronica Mars." Veronica laughs to herself and says she should have known who the princess was.

After this little encounter, she can meet Lily almost everyday. "Maybe Lily is that kind of girl once you noticed her then will never get rid of because she is too showy." This is Veronica's analysis. But unfortunately this time, she was wrong. And soon they start the everyday cheer training, moving from a nodding acquaintance, they have already started eating lunch together. Girl's friendship can always start easily although it may need a really long process to become profound.

Once during the lunch time, Lily and Veronica are sharing a pizza together. Lily bites one large piece and with food in her mouth she says : " I always can't figure out why those boys always looks at me, am I look like a muse with all that food in mouth?" Veronica just has something drinking at that moment, she sprays it all out hearing what Lily said: "That's it! Never eat with you! The third time you make me choked this week!" "Oh~how dare you to say that just after making me sick the third time?!"Lily retorts within a second. Lily's voice just fell as the two girls laughs aloud together.

"Seriously, V, Is there something between you and Logan Ecolls?" After they have the hard time finishing their lunch, Lily looks veronica in the eye and asks.

"No...I guess...Why you ask?" After a pause, stutters as she talks, Veronica looks away to avoid Lily's gaze.

"Oh.. You ask why? Because I find he is kind of cute?~" Lily hides her face behind the hands and peeps Veronica through a crack between figures so that she doesn't find the unnatural reaction of V.

Veronica is amused seeing Lily feigns bashfulness, she chucked: "I really want to know who is the boy not cute in Lily's eyes~"

" Apparently, not you!" Lily rolls her big eyes.

"OK, my sweet heart, let's go~" Veronica packets her books into her handbag and reaches out her hand to Lily like a gentlemen.

Then the two girls walk through the crowded arm in arm, one golden ringlet one long straight hair, one shallow white linen skirt one rosy red halter top and hot pants, like the moon and sun. Both radiate charming light though in different ways. Almost every where they passed by, people were talking about them. At least, Lily thinks so. But Veronica doesn't seem like notice it. She looks straight ahead and feels safe when Lily was standing beside her. She doesn't know why but Lily's confidence make her think she can handle things easily somehow.

They reach the building and wave to say goodbye to each other when the first class is almost starting. Veronica hurries walk down the hall and after a corner she bumps into a stranger's arms disconcertingly. The stranger's clothes feel soothingly warm on her skin and emit a fresh-scented aroma into the air. Veronica blushing looked up slowly and they stare into each other's eyes for a second. Suddenly Veronica regains her presence of mind and hastily backs away. "Sorry!" She runs to her classroom with heads down leaving the boy standing here blankly. And after a while a eloquent smile appears on his face.

"Sorry, I'm late!" when Veronica comes into the classroom, the class has already started. "Here!" Logan waves his hand to suggest V sit next to him-the only unoccupied seat in the room. She has to seat there. She is little tense to sit so close to Logan in fact, but she preserves an appearance of nonchalance.

Professor starts his speech passionately, and Logan also starts his little speech below. "Hey, Vero, have a good day?" Logan winks his eyes and turns his head to Veronica in a small angle. "Good until now." Veronica looks at the teacher and whispers. Logan seems like really understand Veronica's sense of humor, the corner of his mouth turns up involuntarily and he put his hand in front of mouth to hide the smile.

But unfortunately, the teacher catch the little pleasure of Logan, he says: "Mr Logan, do you have something to share with us?"

"Sure sir, I'm really glad with such a beauty sitting with me. And thank you for letting me share this feeling with the class~~" Logan said with a serious look on his face.

"Oh my god, such a honest man!" It's Veronica's turn to put her hand in front of the face.

With an awkward atmosphere, they get through the rest of the class. Although Logan tries to break the silence several times, Veronica just pretends to be deaf and is writing something down in her notebook all the time. Logan really wonders how she can find so many things worthy to keep when the teacher continues talking about his own experience.

After all day's chaos in school, Veronica feels that she really need to go home at once to get some relaxed. As expected, with the last ounce of strength, she pushes open the door and sees her parents have already sat in front of the dinner table waiting for her with smile on their face.
