“She said to tell you to Back off. I mean what are we? In kindergarten?” She laughs. I’m not really finding it funny.
“What did you say back?” Amber's not one to mince her words. I’ve only known her a few short weeks and I know that she openly speaks what she thinks. She laughs again.
“I told her to get a life. You're a better match for Logan, as he would never get with a bitch like her anyway, and that I will help you in anyway possible to snag him.” She looks very pleased with herself.
“I don’t want to snag him, I bumped into him at the mall on Saturday morning and he didn’t really give me a chance to say no.” I try to explain what happened.
“Uh huh” she says again.
“You do realise he is the hottest guy in school? No scrap that, the hottest guy in this state. And he hasn’t asked anyone out for a date ever. Don’t get me wrong. He’s not a monk, he’s gone on dates but he doesn’t do the asking. The girlies all flock to him.”
“Well they can keep on flocking then because I’m not interested.” Yeah right. I don’t even believe myself. And the look Amber gives me, I know she doesn’t believe me either.
Walking up the school steps I spot Logan straight away. He’s leaning against the railing, arms folded over his chest, which shows off his arm muscles perfectly. His white t shirt isn’t too tight, but I can tell there’s a wall of pure muscle underneath. I know from standing so close to him yesterday. He looks up at me and smiles. I can’t help but smile in return. I think today is going to be a good day.
“Uh huh....you just keep on lying to yourself.” Amber says with a smug grin.
“Lying about what?” Chris says as walks up behind up and drops his arms over our shoulders like he did the first day we met. I start to hear a low grumbling growling sound again that I was hearing last week but when I look around to see where it’s coming from it seems to be from where Logan is. No one else ever seems to hear it. He looks absolutely furious and starts to make his way over to us.
I try to shrug out from under Chris’s arm but he just holds it around me even tighter.
“Ummm lying about which celeb we think is hotter. That’s...." I never get chance to finish my sentence.
Logan walks right up to us and shoves Chris hard in the chest so he steps back a few paces. After a couple of seconds of realising what just happens he steps right up to Logan and shoves him back.
“Dude, what the hell is wrong with you?” Chris shouts, but Logan doesn’t reply he just punches him in the face and knocks him to the floor. Chris quickly gets up to fight back. People are starting to gather around us, noticing some excitement in their boring Monday morning.
“Logan stop, just stop” but he can’t hear me. He’s not listening. Chris manages to get a quick jab to Logan's jaw but then he gets hit and again is knocked down to the floor. I’ve never actually been his close to a fight before. I’m just stood there watching in shock, not believing that this is the same guy who was so gentle with me the day before. His eyes even look a completely different colour. So much darker than usual.
Logan grabs a fist full of Chris’s shirt and pulls him up so the top half of his body is off the floor.
“Stop touching her, just stay away the hell away from her.” Logan grits out through a clenched jaw.
“Logan stop!” I shout louder and crouch down to try pulling at his tensed shoulder. That gets his attention and he turns around and looks at me. He stares at me for a few seconds, looks to Chris then back at me. It’s like he’s just realised what he’s actually done. I can literally see his eyes start to change back to their normal colour.
“Alexia, I’m sorry, I ....” He says quietly. Chris shoves Logan’s hand off his shirt and starts to rub his cheek.
“Just go Logan.” I say shaking my head. I knew he had a temper and that he didn’t like Chris. But it’s not like Chris did anything wrong. He didn’t provoke him or anything. Logan takes my hand.
“I’m sorry, let’s just go and talk. I can explain” He says. I take my hand back and move so that I’m knelt beside Chris.
“No, I think you just need to go Logan. I’m staying with Chris.” He looks hurt by what I’ve said, but I don’t think I should go with him. What if he gets mad at me. I’m pretty certain he would never hurt me. I’ve never felt as safe as l had the past two days with him. But I can’t understand this shift in him today.
“Alexia....”
“She said go. You should listen to her before I change my mind on beating your ass.” Chris says and stands up pulling me up with him.
“You could try.” Logan says squaring up to Chris again. I can see his fists clenching, and I think he’s gearing up for round two.
“Logan” I say standing in front of him so I’m in between the two, I place my hands on
