anymore, Log." I looked at him and a great smile flashed onto his face.
"I cant believe you remember that name. I haven't heard of it in years." He let go of me. "I missed you, Riley. You don't even begin to understand. I liked you, Riles." I gulped.
"We were like, seven. It's been 10 years, 10 whole, long years.." I sat on my bed and he sat next to me. "I couldn't even remember you 'till you called me 'Riles'. I forgot about you. I'm sorry." I smiled and looked at him. "Sorry, Log." He sighed. I could tell I most likely let him down. I guess he remembered me.
"You know, I never forgot." He looked over at me and put his hand on my cheek. "I remember that kiss. My first kiss. And yours." I blushed a little.
"This is so confusing." I said with a smile. He pulled his hand away and rose an eye brow.
"How is it confusing?" He asked like I offended him or something.
"I was pissed at you for first-kissing me. Then I remembered a little seven year old names Log stole my first kiss. Turns out Log and Logan are the same people." I put my hands out and my elbows close like I was holding two plates and shrugged.
"Is that a bad thing?" He asked. I pursed my lips and shrugged again.
"I guess not. The only bad thing here is that one of the popular kissed me in public!" I yelled. "Why the hell did you do that?!" He laid on his back and put his arms under his head. He closed his eyes and shrugged.
"I recognized you the moment I saw you. I figured you didn't recognize me, so I wanted to refresh your memory as soon as possible." He said. He turned his head and smirked at me. "It worked."
"Well, I don't want rumors going around that we're a thing." I stood up and put my hands in my hips. "I ran away here to lift up my grades, not get involved with the school's manwhore."
"Back up," He said, getting up. "You ran away?"
Oh crap. My eyes widened and I covered my mouth with both of my hands. Why does my mouth hate me so much?
I shook my head. "N-No.. Psh. Who said anything about running away?"
He walked closer to me. "You just did." He looked me in the eyes. Those blue eyes were sucking me in.
"Oh, yeah.." He put his hand on my cheeks, holding my face.
"They didn't send you here. There were family problems. But you got rid of the problem itself, didn't you? You ran away. To get away." I gulped and took his hands off my cheeks. "You should go home, Riles."
"I don't want to go home! I'm not. Not going back with those... things. You don't understand. You're family is fine, huh?" He sighed.
"I guess you could say that. My family is rich. They're never home. I got tired of being bored and going to public school, so they sent me here. I barely know my brothers and sisters. Or my parents."
"You're lucky." I said, turning around so my back faced him. "Are you going to tell?"
"Of course not, Riles." He said, softly.
"Good." I turned back towards him. "We probably shouldn't see each other anymore." His eyes widened and flicked to mine.
"What?" He asked, a little anger showing in his tone.
"We're not going to be good friends. We have nothing in common."
"I'm sure that's not true."
"Ok. Tell me, Logan, are you poor?"
"No."
"Are you a virgin?"
"No."
"Do you have friends?"
"Yes."
"See, complete opposites." I growled.
"They say opposite's attract." He grinned. I frowned and rolled my eyes.
"No."
"How about friends with benefits."
"Hell no!" I said, even though he was joking. "We're not anything! I want nothing to do with you." I said in my meanest tone. I'm not very good at being mean. It was just something I couldn't do. I felt guilty.
"Look, I'm not going to give up on you. I dont care what you say." He said as I sighed.
"I just want to get past high school. Without any problems. Then show my parents what I can really do. I want to go to a good collage and have a normal life."
"Well, I want to be in your life. And your life will never be the same with me in it." He kissed my cheek softly and walked out of my room.
He left me thinking. I sat on my bed. What did he mean? Why, because of him, would my life never be the same?

Chapter 2

I decided that I was going to skip the rest of my classes, only to find Lilly knocking on my door at 2:30, when school was over.
"What happened?!" She asked.
"It's exactly as the rumors say." I said, carelessly as I got a bottle of water from the fridge. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped.
"So, Logan Grey, the hottest boy in the school, kissed you." I nodded, taking a sip of my water. "Then you guys came here and fucked?!" I spit out my water.
"What?!"
"Oh yeah. It's EXACTLY as the rumors say." She said, sarcastically and sat on my bed.
"That's what's going around?!" I screeched.
"Yeah." She said it like she was saying, "Duh."
"FML." I face palmed.
"Look, in this school, rumors only last a few days," She said, trying to cheer me up, "Just keep your distance from Logan and you should be fine." I smiled a little.
"Thanks, Lilly. I will take your advice." I said, even though that was my plan from the start.

Around six o'clock, I heard a knock on my door. "Coming!" I yelled, biting a piece of the pizza I was eating. I ran to the door and opened it to the Headmaster.
"Riley Turner, why is it that you were absent in 3 of your subjects and your special?"
"I-I wasn't feeling that well." I lied.
"Oh really?" He said. "That's not what the other kids are saying." My eyes widened and I blushed. "So what's the truth, Riley Turner?"
"I-I..." She sighed.
"Listen, Riley. You can trust me..." I nodded.
"I was given my seat in Mr. Head's science class next to an old friend of mine named Logan-"
"Logan Grey?"
"Yeah. He suddenly kissed me and everyone was watching."
"So you were embarrassed so you ran back here."
"Yeah."
"Logan and you didn't..."
"Wh-No! No,no,no,no."
"Well, ok, but you better be in all your classes tomorrow, young lady." She said.
"I will." I promised.
We said our farewells. I shut my door after she left and flopped on my bed. This has been a very very long day...
I sighed and got up, walking over to my dresser. I pulled open the drawer where my pj's are. I took out some short shorts and a t-shirt. I closed my drawer and walked over to my bed. I slid off my clothes and put my PJ's on. Walking over to my bed, I looked out the window. I saw Logan at the benches. What is he doing? I shrugged and sat down on my bed. Nothing is going to bother me. I wont let stuff get to me. I breathed in and out heavily. Ignore him.. I laid down and pulled the covers over me. I'll get through the day without talking to him. I closed my eyes and suddenly feel asleep.

I was running from something. I was in the woods behind the school. Running. I was terrified, but I felt relaxed at the same time.
"Run, Riley!" A males voice echoed in my head. I listened to his command and ran as fast as I could.
I was worried. I didn't want to leave the male alone... I finally stopped running and turned around. A creature with razor sharp fangs and nails went to attack me. It's eyes dripped of blood. I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Riley! Riley, wake up!" My eyes shot open wide. I was breathing heavily. I looked up to Logan.
"W-Logan?!" I screeched.
"You were having a nightmare." He said while sitting at the end of my bed. I looked over to my clock. 4:57 am.
"How did you get in here?" I asked him.
"Window." He said, pointing to the open window. I just nodded and ran my fingers though my damp hair as I sat up.
"I was screaming?" I assumed.
"Loud." He half-laughed.
"How could you hear me when the boy dorms are on the other side of the building?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"I have good hearing, for one. And two, I was taking a walk 'cause I couldn't sleep. I just happened to hear you screaming when I was passing your dorm." He said, looking into my eyes, deeply.
"Oh, uh," I gulped, "I'm sorry for worrying you..." I sighed. How is this ignoring plan gonna work if he keeps popping up like this?
I thought I heard him growl, but when I looked at him, he didn't seem to be.
"Don't apologize. It's fine. I want to worry, Riles." He smiled sadly.
"Don't call me that," I grumbled stubbornly, looking to the side. At some point he got closer. Close enough that if he just moved in about an inch, we'd be kissing again. His eyes had darkened. They seemed cold, angered, and filled with hatred.
"Don't even try to ignore me, Riley May Turner." He growled. I blushed a little. How did he know that was my plan? Well, I guess it's kind of obvious. "Look, Riley. I'm sorry for kissing you in front of everyone. I just couldn't help it. I needed to k-" I cut him off.
"You actually didn't need to kiss me. You wanted to." I sighed. "Look, just don't worry about it. I'm really starting to not care. So if you really wanna talk to me, text me. I'll meet you somewhere." I stared into his eyes and looked away. And before he said anything I got up, got paper and a pen, and written down my number.
"Okay, but Riley..." He looked at me. "Okay." I handed him the paper.
"But I swear to god, Logan, you can't kiss me in public. Wait, no. You can't kiss me at all unless I say you can. Or if I kiss you. But you know, that won't happen."
I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes trying to act bored. I was scared. Boys and girls were not allowed in the same dorms past 11 o'clock. I don't want him getting in trouble for being worried about me.
It took me a minute to realize I was being pinned against the wall next to my bed by Logan. This was the closest I've ever been to a boy. Or anyone, as matter of fact.
"L-Logan-"
"Starting when?" He purred. The way he said that made me want to melt. Ugh. Logan, why?
"St- what do you mean?" I asked, trying get my face as far away from his as possible. I did just wake up and I hadn't of brushed my teeth yet. Oh jeez, Riley, why are you thinking of such a stupid thing when you're being pinned against a wall?!
I bit the inside of my lip by accident and winces. The metal-taste of blood filled my mouth. It hurt like hell and it was bleeding
