how close he was.

"Umm, let us get started." I kept looking down to avoid his eyes.

"You don't have to get nervous around me. I won't bite." When he said that, he smiled, showing his nice, white teeth. I looked away and turned to the table.

"I'm not scared of you." I said while working on the experiment.

"You’re sure about that." When he said this, he was getting closer to me.

"Why don't you show me what to do." he said as he stood there. Right now, I could feel Logan's eyes on me. It felt like daggers were digging in my back.

"Okay." I turned to him and start telling him what we will be doing. I demonstrated what to do. Logan was just watching me.

"Do you understand now?" I'm holding up the test tubes, showing him the reactions. Logan ran his fingers through his hair and pushed it back.

"I do." His eyes were focused on me. I looked towards the clock and just in time, the bell rang. I hurried up, gathering my stuff and left the classroom. I got down the hallway and Jessica stopped me.

"Ebony, slow down. You left out of the classroom so fast. What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just don't want to be late for my next class."

"You almost left me. Don't you remember that we take the same second period?" I looked behind me to see if Logan was anywhere in sight. Jessica looked at me and smiled.

"It's that new guy, Logan, isn’t it? I was looking at the both of you during class."

"I'm not running from him. I don't like him anyway."

"From the looks of it, it looked like he was flirting with you. I think he likes you."

"Whatever. Besides, there is something about him that seems mysterious."

"That's good."

"Shut up." I said while laughing. When Jessica and I start talking, someone tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around and jumped when I saw who it was. Logan was standing there. He looked to Jessica.

"Hey, what's your name?" It was like Jessica was hypnotized when Logan smiled at her.

"Jessica." When Jessica was saying this, she was playing with her golden locks of hair.

"Hey Jessica, do you mind if I talk to Ebony." I looked at Jessica, shaking my head no, but Jessica's attention was still on Logan.

"I don't mind." She turned to me.

"Ebony, I'll see you in class." After that, she went on to class. I turned to Logan and snarled and headed towards my locker. He has lost his mind, sending Jessica away.

I get to my locker and got my books for my next class. I shut the locker door and jumped when I saw Logan standing right there.

"What the... stop doing that. Why are you following me?" My heart is still beating fast from the scare.

"I told you, I need to talk to you about something important."

"Why don't you go mess with all the popular girls instead of messing with me?" His smile went right away.

"It seems like you don't want to cooperate with me."

"Nope." Before he got to say anymore, I ran to my next class. He just stood at my locker, watching me go to my next class.

Chapter 2

 

My next class is Trigonometry. By the time I got to class, the bell rang. I go to a seat next to Jessica.

"What took you so long? You were almost late for class."

"You think I don't know that. I had to get rid of Logan. You remember you left me with him." Jessica's face automatically lit up.

"What did he want to talk to you about?" After Jessica said that, Logan walked into the classroom. I sighed in frustration. The day can't get any worse. He gave Mr. Washington his schedule. While Mr. Washington was checking his attendance sheet, Logan looked at me and small, brief wave. Mr. Washington turned to the class.

"Okay class. We have a new student. Logan, you can sit anywhere you want." Of course when Mr. Washington said that, Logan went and sat in the seat on the other side of me. He gave me that same cute crooked smile he gave me in the hallway. Then, he leaned up and looked over at Jessica.

"Hey Jessica." Jessica, of course, smiled back.

"Hey Logan." Right after that, class started. Even though Mr. Washington was giving a lesson, I couldn't really pay attention. Logan was trying to get my attention. He kept tapping my arm. Finally, I lost it and I turned to him and gave him a sharp look. He passed me a note.

Before I was able to read it, someone came to my desk and took the note out of my hand. I looked up to see Mr. Washington standing there, frowning.

"Passing notes during class, I see." Mr. Washington turned to Logan.

"Young man, we do not pass notes during class." I looked at Logan and gave him a fake smile bit Mr. Washington was now looking at me and he frowned.

"And you, Ebony, should be ashamed of yourself." That is when Logan smiled at me. Mr. Washington is always strict so I was scared what the punishment would be. This is exactly why I'm always quiet in school, so I won't get in any trouble.

"Now for your punishment, both of you will get detention after school." I looked at Mr. Washington in shock.

"Detention?!? Mr. Washington, I didn't do anything. Logan was the one who passed the note." The other classmates start snickering and I felt myself blush of embarrassment. Mr. Washington just walked off and starts finishing up his lesson. I felt myself heat up with frustration. I looked at Logan and all I saw was red. Even though he didn't turn to me, I could tell he knew I was looking at him. I turned to Jessica. She had on her pity face. I turned back around. My parents will kill me when they find out that I have detention today. They probably wouldn't believe it because I never got in trouble. I was always a good student. I always got good grades. Ever since Logan got here, he starts ruining everything. For the rest of class, I just laid my head down. I really didn't care that I was doing that because I was already in trouble. When the bell rang, I just sat there a little while. Jessica got up and hugged me.

"At least your punishment wasn't something worse. You know how Mr. Washington can be." All I did was look at Jessica and gave her a hard glare and she looked away. I got up and went to my next class. Thank goodness Logan wasn't in any of my other classes because I don't know what I would have done if he was. When lunch time came, I didn't go. I just went to the library. I wasn't going to take any chances of running into HIM. When the end of the day came, I was almost eager to get home, but I remembered that I have to go to detention. Before I went to Mr. Washington's class, I went to my locker. Jessica was at her locker, packing up her stuff. I opened up my locker and got my stuff as Jessica shut hers and turned to me.

"I'll talk to you later." she said before hugging me good bye. We hugged and then I watched Jessica leave. I turned back around and frowned. This time I wasn't surprised. Logan was standing next to me.

"Are you stalking me? What part of leave me alone do you not understand?"

"First of all, I'm not stalking you. I bet you wished that I was stalking you, though. Second, I'm just going to my locker."

"What locker?" Logan smiled at me and went to the locker right beside mines and start opening it up.

"You did this on purpose. You just love messing with me. This is your first day and you’re already messing things up for me."

"I don't know what you’re talking about." Logan tried to sound innocent.

"Whatever." I start walking away, but Logan grabbed my arm. I looked around to see if anyone was around. The hallway was empty. Logan pulled me close. I looked up into his blue eyes.

"Get off of me or I will scream..." Before I got to say anything else, Logan kissed me. I felt sparks as soon as he kissed me. I was so shocked, I didn't react. Next thing I know, I'm kissing him back. His lips are so soft. I started to feel a little weird inside, but weird in a good way. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he pulled me in closer. As things were getting good and I still didn’t realize what I was doing, I heard someone clear their voice. I quickly pushed Logan away and turned to see Mr. Washington standing a few feet away from us, with a frown on his face. Not again!!! This is too embarrassing.

"First, I catch the both of you passing notes. Now I find the both of you in the hallway kissing." I was about to say something, but I stopped. I felt myself blush of embarrassment. I looked over to Logan to see his expression. Logan was just looking at Mr. Washington, with no expression on his face, like he didn’t care what was happening right now. I bet he didn't pay attention to any word that Mr. Washington said. I turned back to Mr. Washington.

"Mr. Washington, I'm sorry..." Before I got to say anything else, Mr. Washington interrupted.

"Just go to my classroom." After he said that very sternly, he stormed away. I turned to Logan and frowned.

"See, look what you done. You just got me in trouble again with the same teacher. If you haven't kissed me, none of this would have happened." I didn't even let him reply. I just walked off without turning back.

Chapter 3

I can't believe this. I feel so embarrassed after being caught kissing that jerk. I should have pushed him away as soon as he kissed me. What is wrong with me... no, what's wrong with Logan. Why out of all the popular and pretty girls, he comes messing with me. I know I wasn't bringing him on because I never said anything to him, nor was I flirting with him. Also, he keeps claiming that he has something to tell me, but I keep ignoring him. Logan seemed so eager to tell me what he had to say, which kind of caused me to get more eager to find out. All I know is that I
