Story Excerpt: Thirteen - Chapter 2




Part 2

“I just fell flat on my ass and she saw it, I don’t even have a chance with her” Logan said. “You don’t know that Logan” Ashley said. “So why don’t you give Eli a try then, I mean Ash it’s been like this between you two since 7th grade!” Logan said. “Then why don’t you ask Nicole!” Ashley said.  “I will if you will” Logan said as Ashley rolled her eyes. “Nicole is sweet and nice, Elijah is a … jerk sometimes you know” Ashley said. “Yes he is and sometimes you’re bitchy” Logan said as Ashley lightly slapped his arm.

Logan chuckled at her reaction and grinned knowing he was right. “Nicole is a junior well now a senior, I’m going to college … it would be hard” He said shrugging. “You guys are the same age though, like the same things and last I checked mister you have a laptop with a webcam” Ashley said. “Ok, Ok, Ok, I will but try to give Eli a chance please” Logan said. “No promises!” Ashley said as Logan walked towards the party.

 Logan walked into the party and started his search for the reddish brunette girl his heart pounded for. He saw her laughing at a joke someone was telling and he grinned stupidly before walking into Allen. Allen threw his hands in the air as the spilled drink was all over him. Logan smiled sheepishly at Allen who glared at him. Nicole saw Logan and waved sweetly as Logan walked into the wall. Jacob and Mohamed shared a chuckle watching at Logan's shyness. Logan walked over to the two chuckling boys shaking his head in shame.

“Really!” Logan mumbled and Mohammed laughed in his face. “What the hell dude!” Mohammed said. “Shouldn’t you be mixing Kayne West with Cascada somewhere” Logan joked. “Your brother is making some underclassmen take over” Mohammed said. “So what’s with the wall smacking thing?” Jacob asked. “I sort of was going to ask Nicole to dance or talk but for some reason I just suck at coordination at the moment” Logan said “Nicole nice” Jacob said smirking. “Don’t you like Brooke?” Mohammed said. “Don’t you like Lilah?” Jacob shot back.  “Okay that is we need to get some balls and talk to these girls man” Logan said.

“What you mean! I am chilling with Brooke all night I got balls” Jacob said proudly. “Did you dance with her yet or touch her besides her trying to beat you up?” Mohammed said as Jacob glared at him. “It’s a process!” Jacob said. “A very slow one” Logan said when Nicole slid next to him. “Hey Logan” Nicole said and waved to the other boys. “Um hey Nicole” Logan stuttered. “Want to dance?” Nicole asked. “Really! With me?” Logan asked surprised. “Just promise not to fall” Nicole added with a giggled.  “No promise there” Mohammed said sipping his drink. “Sure no problem” Logan said punching Mohammed in the arm.

“Here come Lilah and Kiera” Jacob said as Delilah was pushed in front of Mohammed by Kiera. “Jacob, Brooke is looking for you something about you being slower than molasses” Kiera said as confusion crossed her face. “Oh man this girl is a pain” Jacob grumbled walking away from the three and passed Allen who was trying to dance to some reggae. “Hey mon” Allen said as he approached Kiera. “No more punch for you silly” Kiera said giggling. “Delilah what are you wearing?” Allen asked as he noticed the large button down shirt.
