Byron isn't vindictive."
Dex looked skeptical and shook his head. "You have no idea how the male mind works. You know what they say about a nerd scorned."
"No. I don't. You're just making that up."
Dex glanced back at my laptop screen and frowned as he read something. "Logan has a black eye again, doesn't he?"
"Yeah," I said, unconcerned. Of course Dex would be careful about bringing that subject up. I couldn't understand, though, why he wasn't teasing me about it. "Why? How do you know? I didn't see you at that little pregame bash. I thought you and your dad would be there."
Dex was still frowning slightly. "We stopped by after the action." Dex paused. "Dad hates those kinds of events. He really hates making small talk. It was purely a duty call. I will say Logan's antics spiced things up and made the party worth the stop and the small talk easy. They were still cleaning up the mess when we left. Nice that you have a boyfriend to play white knight for you. I heard what that Schwartz guy said was pretty vile."
I blushed. "Yeah." I bit my lip. "And true—my ex did sleep with my mom."
"Shit, that's awful. I'm sorry." Dex looked really uncomfortable.
I shrugged. "Everyone's sorry but her. And she's the only one who should be. Even the ex apologized." I took a deep breath and stared at my hands on the table. "Let's not talk about it again, okay?"
"Sounds good to me." Dex paused. "Ellie, take a look at this." He spun my laptop around to face me.
I looked at him, puzzled.
"Someone else has a thing for Logan." Dex grinned like he was trying to joke and take the sting away. But he didn't fool me. He was still uncomfortable. "The downsides of being a hunk."
I frowned just slightly. "Do you want me to write a missed connection about you to up your prestige around campus? Cute, slightly nerdy guy studying on the second floor of the sci library at the table in the corner. Smart guys turn me on. HMU, the admiring brunette sitting across from you. "
"Shut up and read." But he was trying not to laugh at my antics.
Hot guy at The College Grind, a black eye again? I like fighters. I see you everywhere I go like we were meant to be. But you never notice me. I was the blonde sitting by the window with a navy pea coat slung over my chair when you arrived just after three. You got coffee with an attractive woman who looked like she was almost thirty. I can be more fun than she is. Promise. HMU—a blonde who's worshipping you from afar.
My mouth went dry and my pulse raced. I froze. The post was time stamped just minutes ago. Amber. The older woman had to be Amber. Logan had lied to me. Ditched me for Amber.
"Ellie?"
I glanced up at Dex, stunned.
"You okay? You look like you just saw a ghost."
I nodded. "I'm fine. Post-traumatic shock after seeing that zombie horde."
"Don't worry," Dex said. "Don't be one of those insecure, clingy girls. The blonde says he never notices her. A guy has to like a girl a whole lot to take a swing at another guy for her like Logan did for you. Logan likes you ."
Did he? It looked an awful lot to me like he'd just lied to me and gone out with Amber.
Chapter Five
"Logan said 'I love you'? Wow." Nic sat on her bed in the room she shared with Taylor.
Taylor sat on her bed and I sat in her disc chair. It was already almost eleven on Sunday night and this was the first time we'd had to catch up since Friday morning. They'd heard about the Dr. Rogers scandal. Everyone on campus had. But I had so much more to tell them.
"Like I love you I love you. Not like This is the best chicken potpie I ever ate. Thanks for making it for me, I love you? "
"Like I love you I love you," I said.
"Look, I get his dad is an ass. You don't like violence and are unhappy Logan got in a fight, even though it was to protect you, which I think is really sweet of him, chivalry is not dead, but why aren't you happier?" Tay sat up straighter, looking like she really didn't understand. "The whole thing sounds
