Rene took another bite of her icecream and smiled at Logan. He took a huge bite and made a funny face. "Dear god that's cold." He laughed. Rene laughed and covered her mouth. She started choking and laughing at the same time. "Oh no," Logan laughed, "Give me the sign." Rene flicked him off and continued choking. "Lovely." He smiled, flicking icecream at her face. Rene cleared her throat and laughed again, "Oh jeese, thanks.." He bowed, "My pleasure." She shook her head, "They really do have you pegged all wrong." Logan shrugged, "Their loss." "My gain." Rene smiled. He slightly nodded and continued eating icecream.
Danny waited outside of Rene's final class as the bell rang and she never came out. He narrowed his eyes, walked inside the classroom and found the teacher. "Excuse me,"He cleared his throat,"Where's Rene?" "She wasn't in class... on the attendance sheet, it says she's been missing since lunch, her parents have been notified." The teacher explained, sounding annoyed. He nodded, "Thanks." Danny quickly left and walked out to the student parking lot.
"Won't little Danny flip when you're not where you're supost to be?" Logan asked, raising an eyebrow. Rene shrugged, "Then maybe he should keep a tighter leash?... Maybe he should've taken his friend's advice." "One of his friends said to keep you on a leash?" Logan asked, narrowing his eyes. She nodded, "Yeah... the nerve of Ronny Jones, huh?" He shook his head, "I hate that kid, he's just one of Danny's pathetic little followers.." Rene nodded, took their bowls and walked over to the sink. "Is that why you were upset?" Logan asked, looking over. She sighed, "That's part of it." "And the other part?" He asked, getting off the wooden stool. Rene turned to face him, "I like you Logan, you're really cool... and I'm sick of hearing them talk about you like they know you...they don't know you at all!" "And you do?" Logan asked, stepping closer. Rene narrowed her eyes, "I know you enough to know that the things they say isn't true..." "Well, what exactly are they saying?" He crossed his arms. "That you're 'psycho' .. went to the psych ward... stuff like that.." Rene explained. He sighed, "Just because I went to the psych ward doesn't mean I'm psychotic..." "Wait... what?" Rene frowned. Logan ran his hand through his hair, " I did go to the psych ward but it wasn't because I was psychotic... I found my dad hanging in our garage when I was 15... they said they thought I should 'talk' about it...so, I was sent there to talk about it and now, here I am." Rene cleared her throat, "That's terrible." He nodded, "Yeah, well... how about you give them something new to talk about, I wasn't in school today because I was in jail.." Rene started to laugh, "That's a good one." He stared blankly. She stopped smiling, "You're not joking..." Logan smirked, "It's been fun Rene... but we clearly shouldn't be hanging out.." "What? Why?" She asked, following him out of the kitchen. "We're on separate sides of the fence.. let's face it.. I'm trouble and you're... well you're perfect." He explained. "What did you just say?" Rene asked, sounding shocked. Logan shook his head, "Don't worry about it.. I have to go." With that said, he shut the door behind him and walked across the yard to his car. Rene frowned and sat on the stairs.
Logan got into his black 1969 Chevrolet Camaro and drove away. He gripped the steering wheel and glanced in the rearview mirror. "Bye Rene," He muttered, "For good."
Rene looked up when a knock came at her front door. She smiled, rose and walked over. When she opened the door Danny looked up. "Where were you today?" He asked. She sighed, "I wasn't feeling well." "Did Ronny get to you that bad?" He asked, walking past her. Rene shut the door and turned to face him, "Yeah, actually you all did... Im sick of you guys talking about Logan the way you do..." "Logan?" Danny repeated, "Since when do you know him as Logan?" "Since I met him in person and got to know him..." She explained. "And where was I?" He looked like he was getting pissed. Rene rolled her eyes, "Calm down Danny, we're not talking anymore... his choice not mine." He nodded, "Good for him, he did the right thing." Rene narrowed her eyes," How could you say that? You know what, I wish one of your friends would randomly stop talking to you!" "Oh, you guys are friends now..." Danny slightly laughed, "Wow, I am really confused.." "You're being a asshole... I think you should leave." Rene muttered. He raised an eyebrow, "What did you just say?" "I said.." Before she could finish her sentence Danny pushed her into the wall. "Be careful sweety, choose your words wisely." He scolded. Rene pushed him really hard across the room, "Don't you EVER touch me again!"
