Chapter 3 Chapter Three
“All but three?” I ask smiling. “So, you can take me to most of my classes today?”
“Of course I will. I am pretty sure at least one of the guys you met this morning is in each of the other three classes with you. So, you won’t be alone.” Logan says as he once again grabs my hand and pulls me through a set of double doors that lead outside.
“That makes me feel better. I hate being the new girl that doesn’t know anyone in my classes. Everyone always stares at you with those oh look at that poor girl looks, and it is so irritating.”
Logan laughs. “I honestly wouldn’t know. I have been at this school my whole life and we really don’t get that many new people each year.”
“Must be nice.” I say with a small smile. I have been to five new schools since seventh grade. What mom wants mom gets. No matter what I think mom does what she wants when she wants. At my last school I had amazing grades, several friends and I had even joined a couple school clubs. I should have known it was too good to be true when mom said she would let me finish out my schooling at my last school, she knew how bad I wanted to graduate from there. Then Curtis came along and all of that changed.
Chapter 3
“Unfortunately, all of your classes are pretty spread out over campus so it will be a lot of walking.” Logan says with a laugh, pulling me out of my thoughts.
I give him a genuine smile. “That’s okay, I enjoy walking.” Which is true I do love to walk, I even go jogging sometimes. I haven’t in a while but maybe I can start up again.
At the bottom of the hill we go through another set of double doors which lead inside to a smaller version of the building at the top of the hill. “English is down here.” Logan says as we make our way into a small classroom.
Everyone goes quiet and stares at us. The teacher sets her book down. “Logan Stout you are late.” A middle-aged woman with red hair says. “Sorry Ms. Nichols. I was helping Lilly get her schedule and stuff.”
Ms. Nichols narrows her eyes at me, and I suddenly feel very aware of Logan’s hand still holding mine. “Sit in any of the empty seats Lilly and welcome to my class. I will not tolerate any more tardiness.”
I nod and Ms. Nichols picks her book up and starts where she left off. Logan gently pulls me towards the back. Logan nods his head at a brown-haired boy sitting at the back who quickly picks his stuff up and moves to another desk.
Logan sits in a desk at the back and pulls the now empty desk closer to his before I have a chance to sit down. He winks at me, and I blush as I take a seat next to him. Ms. Nichols watches us for a minute but doesn’t say anything about the desks.
I don’t have a book for this class yet so I try to pay close attention to what the teacher is saying, taking notes the best, I can for being thrown into the middle of a book I’ve never read before. I feel Logan’s hand slide onto my thigh, and I can’t help but tense up. Logan smirks but doesn’t move his hand.
The next three classes before lunch go pretty much the same as the first. Lots of stares and glares. Logan had me sit next to him in all three classes, either holding my hand or putting his hand on my thigh. Which I have to admit was pretty distracting, especially when his hand slid a little higher each class.
Brandon, Calvin, Harrison and Aaron were in a couple of the classes, but we didn’t get much of a chance to talk. Logan kept me pretty distracted.
It is finally lunch and I am starving. Logan wraps his arm around my shoulder as the bell dismisses the last class before lunch. “You ready to get some food?” Logan asks in his deep sexy voice.
“Yes, please I am starving.”
Logan laughs. “Luckily we have some pretty decent food in our cafeteria.”
“Thank God. My last school’s food sucked.”
Logan laughs as we make our way back down the hill towards the cafeteria building. I was amazed when we stepped through the cafeteria doors. It looked more like a food court than a school cafeteria. There are five different food stations to choose from.
“Wow. This is fancy.” I say looking around.
Logan laughs. “Yeah, it’s like the nicest thing about our school.”
Overwhelmed by choices I decided to get some pizza. It seemed like the safe choice. “Come on.” Logan says as he heads towards the back door of the cafeteria.
“Where are we going?” I ask slightly confused.
Logan doesn’t answer, instead he winks and heads outside to a large grassy area with trees and picnic tables. Wow even outside is nice here. Logan heads towards a picnic table in the middle of everything and I see all the guys from this morning.
“Hey Lilly.” Calvin says with a wink.
“Hey guys.” I say waving.
“How’s your first day going?” Harrison asks.
I look to Logan for a second and he smiles at me. “It’s been good, so far. Best first day I have ever had at a new school.”
Logan sits down on the top of the picnic table and I go to sit next to Brandon, but he grabs my waist and pulls me down in between his legs on the bench, making me squeal. Brandon laughs and shakes his head.
The guys all smirk and share a look with each other. I wonder what that’s all about. Logan and the guys start talking about practice and stuff this afternoon and I get a little lost listening to them banter back and forth.
A cold breeze blows through and I shiver. I really wish I would have worn something warmer. “Hey, are you cold?” Logan leans down to whisper in my ear.
“I’m okay.” I say turning to give him a smile.
“Here.” Logan says pulling his hoody off and handing it to me.
Blushing I take the hoody and slip it over my head. I honestly wasn’t sure it would fit but it’s actually a little loose. “Thanks.” I say with a smile. Logan leans forward and puts his chin on my head and his arms around me.
“It looks good on you.” Logan says against my ear and I get a chill that has nothing to do with the cold.
The guys watch our exchange with smirks, and I suddenly feel self-conscious. I have never had this much attention from guys at any school.
As the end of lunch approaches Logan shifts topics. “Hey Harrison, you are in Digital Communications next right?”
Harrison nods. “Yeah man, why what’s up?”
