I wake up early the next morning. The sun is too bright, and I can't seem to fall back asleep.

I sleepily walk downstairs, and over to the pantry to grab a muffin for breakfast. I find a comfy seat at the table and eat my muffin in peace and quiet. Staring out into the backyard, I watch the butterflies fly around, and the grass sparkle with dew.

"Hello Mia," an unfamiliar voice booms behind me.

"What the frickballs!" I exclaim as I jump out of my seat to see who the owner of this voice is.

"What the frickballs? Oh my god!" I see a shirtless Logan standing, laughing and my word choice. Man does he have muscles!

"Sorry, I just forgot all you guys were here, and that's what just came out of my mouth," I reply shyly, flushing in embarrassment.

"Geez girl. Can you even swear?" He asks.

"Well, I gue-"

"Oh!" Logan gasps as he cuts me off, "I know you! You're in my math class! You're the one Mr. K picked on today!"

"Yup. That's me." I say sadly, hoping everyone would forget that moment.

"Don't you worry, I can-" He walks over and slings an arm over my shoulder, "Woah! You are short up close!" He takes his arm off me, and walks into the kitchen and looks for food.

He leaves me red, from the close proximity of me and his major hot abs, and confused on what he was about to say before.

"Where do you keep the shit anyway?" Logan asks, head in a random cabinet.

"Uh, pantry." I manage to mumble out.

"Gotcha."

I sit back down, and play on my phone. Oh crap. I didn't get ready this morning. I have horrible bed head, and I'm still in my pajamas.

I was about to head upstairs to look somewhat presentable, but that failed. All the other boys came pounding down the stairs.

"Hey Mia!" They all said in sync.

"Hey," I said, grumpy that my plan didn't work.

"Nice hair and outfit!" Alex piped up, earning laughs from most of the boys.

I just rolled my eyes, and continued up the stairs, embarrassed. As I entered my room, Haley was just waking up.

"Haley. I forgot the guys were here, and they all saw me like this!"

"Oh honey. Let's fix you up, make you look extra nice."

We went into the bathroom. Haley brushed my hair, and began to curl it.

"Oh my gosh! Haley! I had a somewhat conversation with Logan!" I whisper screamed.

"Are you for real?" As I nodded she screamed. "Omigod! That's so amazing! Joey and me really hit it off. I'm just so fucking happy right now."

I smiled, and she finished off the loose curls in my hair.

"There you go!" She smiled at her finished product.

"Dang girl, you did that so fast." I said astonished. If I tried to curl my hair, I would say it would take around two hours.

I head over to my closet, and throw on a black lace kimono, with shorts and a purple tank top under it. I head over to the mirror. Good enough, I think to myself.

I run back to the bathroom, finish up in there, and head downstairs, to where Haley disappeared to.

I found Haley on her phone, in the front room.

"Hey," I said as plopped down by her on the couch.

"Sup, so I was thinking. If you chew a bunch of packs of gum, flatten in so it's like an inch thick, then place it on the end of a leaf blower, will it make a huge bubble?" She asked.

"What?" I say laughing at the odd question, "Um, maybe the gum will just shoot off from the power."

"But, what if you duct tape the gum down?"

"Haley, I have no clue. How do you even come up with odd ideas like this?"

"Not any idea." She replies smiling.

~*~*~

We went over to the park for a little while and hung out there for a bit, making small talk. We  left around two in the afternoon, and Haley decided to check out to see if she could go home. When the coast was clear, she went on in.

As I walked back home, I saw a car slow down next to me. I glanced at the driver, as I started to speed up my walking pace.

"Where you going baby?" A male voice shouted.

I sighed with relief. I turned around.

"Geez! Logan! I thought you were going to kidnap me!"

"Never beautiful. Wanna ride back?"

"Sure." I mumbled, blushing from the word beautiful.

We rode the ride in silence, as it wasn't a very long one.

"Here you are," Logan said as he put his car in park.

"Thanks." I said with a smile.

"Anytime, see ya Monday."

"Yep, bye."

I hopped out of the car, shut the car door, and went over to the house.

"Nice ass!" Logan called as I made my way to the front door. Of course that comment made my face turn red in an instant, but I just shook my head, and walked on in.
