Love is a strong four letter word.
So is hate.

I roll down my window and here we are again, Nixon High. I really should be excited for the first day of school. But what's there to look forward to? Cranky teachers, stuck up teens, lacrosse tryouts soon, all honors classes.
"Good luck today," Dad said, he patted me on my back and I smiled slightly. Got out of the car and slammed the door, as I saw my dad drive away in our beat up bugee, I tuck in my dirty uniform and immediately Jaclyn, my best friend runs up to me with Ryan my other friend.
"Logan!" She yelled happily then hugged me.
"Hey Jaclyn," I said.
I hugged Ryan and he asked, "How'd you get here?"
"Dad," I said.
"That must've been uncomfortable," Ryan said.
"Ryan!" Jaclyn yelled then hit him.
"Oh I'm sorry," Ryan said.
"It's cool, I just need to focus on school," I said breathing out.
Just then Drew Michaels walks by with his so called posse, Conor, Shane and Will. Then of course you have the drooling cheerleaders dragging behind them. I'm so sick of this whole who's in who's not situation. I mean yeah Drew might be gorgeous with his brown flow and deep blue eyes, and his.. never mind he's over rated. Conor of course was your typical barbie, blonde hair blue eyes, muscles on his muscles, and dumb as a rock. Will was probably my favorite, he had a short brown hair do and said hi to everyone in the halls. He played every sport possible, football, basketball, lacrosse, tennis, swimming, you name it he plays it. I've known him forever, ever since, my mom died...
Shane, he's the shy one, he has black hair, covers his eyes, and mostly keeps to himself, he's basically a follower, they tell him to do something he'll do it. Just then Drew looked over at me, I turned away and acted like I had no idea who he was.
"So how was your summer?" Jaclyn asked.
"Alright, worked," I said.
"How's Paige and Charlie?" Ryan asked.
Paige and Charlie are my two younger siblings Paige is 4 and Charlie's 2, I love them to death, but I spent the whole summer watching them, feeding them, and what not.
"There good," I said.
We went inside and I went to my locker, but there was a catch. Someone was standing right next to it, Drew. Of course he was talking to one of the cheerleaders, hand against his locker, leg over the other and standing as close as possible to Sabrina. Sabrina is I guess you could say somewhat my friend, we've been family friends for ever. I watch as she twirls her short, stringy blonde hair and laugh at everything he says. I walk over with Ryan and Jaclyn, and go to my locker.
"Logan?" she said confused.
I looked up from my combo, and looked at her and said, "Hey."
Drew turned his head around and gave me a confused look.
Sabrina hugged me and said, "You look great."
My face got red and said, "Thanks." I hated attention, coming to school a whole different person probably didn't help. I got contacts, braces off, and instead of throwing my hair in a bun I actually straightened it and put a braid on the side. I never realized how long and brown my hair was until I actually did it.
I got back to my locker, and I heard Sabrina say bye and I saw her out of the corner of my eye hug him. He turned back to his locker, and looked at me. I ignored him and acted like I didn't notice.
"How could I spend 2 years of high school and not notice you?" He asked.
"Same reason, why I spent 2 years of high school avoiding you," I said back.
"Who wants to avoid me?" He said flipping his hair.
"Anyone who has a straight mind," I said closing my locker then walking away.
I heard in the background Conor come up and ask, "Who was that?"
"Logan Schapiro," Drew said watching me walk away.
"That girls a freak," Conor said.
Drew hesitated then said, "I know."
I rolled my eyes then went to class, I was used to it. The only time anyone really liked me was on the field. I was the captain and starter of the girls lacrosse team and led the team into 2 state championships. I was known as that freaky smart, poor, girl. The whole day went by so slowly, and by the end it was time for pre season. I went in the locker room and everyone looked at me. I took a step back, then they all started whispering. I closed the door and walked towards my locker. My only friend on the lacrosse team was Rachel Barnes, co captain.
"You sure look different," She said.
"Do I really look that different?" I asked.
"Yeah, you actually... look good?" She said.
"Gee thanks Rach," I said.
"In a good way," She said.
I threw on my pinnie, number 11, and headed for the field. I see all these new freshmen and see how nervous and scared they look. I, being the captain was supposed to start off.
"Alright everyone over here, my names Logan Schapiro captain of the team, and this is.." I said.
"I'm Rachel Barnes co captain," Rachel said.
"A lot of you are new, and we just want to say try your hardest, and don't give up. Show us you deserve to be here." I said.
"Let's start off taking a lap around the field," Rachel said, turning on her ipod speakers. She put on "Driving Me Crazy," by Sammy Adams.
We ran then stretched, did shuttles, shooting drills, and then it was over. I gathered my stuff and stayed after to talk to people with questions.

Drews POV:
Lacrosse just ended and I was exhausted, the only thing that kept me going were the cheerleaders. New uniforms this year, short skirts, and bandeau tops. Funny, that they make them wear that at a catholic school.
"Good job today dude," Conor said.
"Thanks bro, you too," I said.
Suddenly Logan walks by and she catches my sight, Conor see's me look at her.
"What happened to her? Some plastic surgery or something?" He asked.
I looked at her then said, "I bet her crazy dad did that to her."
Conor laughed and said, "A little too much to drink this summer?"
I laughed and then said, "He's a goon."
"So are you," Conor said jokingly.
I hit him in the head with my lacrosse stick lightly.
"Only one way to prove you're not," Conor said.
"Oh yeah? What's that?" I asked.
"Ask Logan out, get her to fall in love with you, and I'll pay you 10 dollars every week you stay with her," Conor said.
"Nah, I'll pass dude," I said.
"15 Dollars," Conor said.
I thought about it and said, "20 and it's a deal."
"Fine," Conor said.
"Whats the point of this?" I asked.
"To show that you're not easy, and you're not a baby, show your badass side." Conor said.
"By breaking some girls heart that did nothing to me?" I asked.
"Yup," Conor said.
Out of the corner of my eye I see her so I ran up to her and said, "Logan right?"
She looked at me then nodded.
"I'm Drew, which you probably know," I said.
"Can I help you?" She replied sharply.
"No, I just saw you and wanted to tell you how beautiful you look," I said charmingly.
"Well, thankyou?" She said.
"Do you know what 2 pretty people make?" I asked getting closer.
"No, flatter me Drew," She said sarcastically.
"A perfect couple," I said trying not to get angry.
"Good luck finding her," Logan said.
"Never thought you could be the one?" I asked.
"No sorry I never thought of dating a conceited pretty boy," she said.
Then Logan stormed off and went in a car.
"So I'm pretty?" I yelled after her.
Before I knew it there was a hand on my shoulder, "Next time." Conor said jokingly.
I walked away and got in my convertible and drove away.
Logan's POV:
"What was Drew saying?" Ryan asked.
"He was flirting," I said.
"Is that a good thing?" Jaclyn asked.
"No, he's a conceited jerk," I said folding my arms across my chest.
"Yeah, but he's hot, " Jaclyn said.
"You're not helping," I said.
When we got to my house our nanny Marissa was still there, I thanked her and she left. My dad worked all day to recover from.. last year. I grabbed Paige and kissed her on the cheek, in my other hand I grabbed Charlie and kissed him also. We went up to my room and Jaclyn said, "I'm giving you a makeover, Drew will want you more now that you have no braces, glasses or those pimples."
"Gee, thanks Jac," I said.
"It's a good thing!" Jaclyn said.
I rolled my eyes and sat down, why fight it?
"Okay, first Ryan leave the room, it needs to be a surprise," Jaclyn said.
"What am I supposed to do?" Ryan asked.
"I don't know take the kids for a walk," I said.
"Fine," Ryan said.
Once he left, Jaclyn took out a whole suitcase, inside was millions of makeups, hair products, and what not.
She first pulled my hair back, and put some cream all over me.
"What is this?" I asked.
"Tanning lotion," Jaclyn said.
She then put on mascara, eye liner, eye shadow, blush, all this stuff I've never worn before. She curled my hair and we were finally done.
"Open," She said.
I looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the girl I saw, she was beautiful, I've never actually worn makeup or done my hair. My dark brown hair had gently curls that went below my shoulders.
"Ryan come in!" Jaclyn said.
He came in and his eyes widened and mouth dropped open, "Well?" Jaclyn asked.
"You look...." Ryan said at a loss of words.
"Look what?" Jaclyn asked smiling.
"Beautiful," Ryan said.
I smiled slightly and said, "Thanks Ry."
I hugged them both, I did look different, and I actually felt confident. Tomorrow should be fun..
I tucked Charlie and Paige in bed and Jaclyn and Ryan left.
I went to bed and got ready for a new day tomorrow.
Drews POV:
Okay so today is the day I will win Logan over, I know I will, I looked in the mirror, flexed my muscle, brushed my teeth and hoped in my car and left. When I got to school I met the crew at our regular spot, by the bell tower.
"Have you seen Logan yet?" Conor asked.
"Nope why?" I asked.
"Boy you're in for a suprise," he said.
I turned around and tried to find her, I saw Ryan, and
