《Hidden Riches》Chapter 4

I pulled on my pink skirt and my white button up shirt onto my body. Logan had bought some new clothes for me. I told him I could buy my own clothes, but he ignored me and bought some anyway. I yelled and cursed at him, but he continued to ignore me.

Today, I was going to college with Logan. Without telling him, he was aware that I had dropped out of college. He must've done a really thorough investigation.

I was so nervous about going back. I dropped out a few months ago and I didn't know how I felt about going back to college.

I would be a senior. I dropped out when I was a senior, so I guess I'll have to start over again.

Once I finished getting dressed, I went downstairs and waited on the couch for Logan.

This was my fifth day living here with Logan and I realized a few things about him. He would come home late sometimes, stay up late at night and sleep in until evening. Last night, I walked past his room to reach mine. There I found him fast asleep on his bed, spread out like a starfish. I couldn't help but laugh at him.

Suddenly, I heard his boots come down the stairs. He was wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans. They looked similar to a pair Peyton owned...

"Good morning, Bunny." Logan said, shaking me from my thoughts.

"Good morning," I said back, looking down at my knees. I couldn't make eye contact with him.

"I'll make some breakfast," He went into the kitchen and made eggs, bacon and waffles.

He placed a plate of food on the table for me once it finished. I happily ate. Logan watched me with a smile on his face.

"Logan, what's it like there?" I swallowed the food in my mouth. "You know, the college you go to."

"Typical. Just like any other college. What year were you when dropped out?" He asked, pouring syrup onto his waffles.

"A senior. Just like you are now."

I was almost finished when I dropped out. I was an idiot back then. I still am one now.

He went quiet for a moment and then he spoke. "Could you tell me why you dropped out, Bunny?"

His watch began to beep. He immediately turned it off and stood from his chair. "Let's go." He said, throwing our empty plates into the sink.

I was glad his watch went off so I wouldn't have to answer his question, but I'll have to tell him eventually.

I watched as he quickly grabbed his bag from the couch. I followed him as we walked through the living room, dining room and then outside.

A big black Lamborghini was parked in front of the mansion. It was so gorgeous that I couldn't help but gape at it. He smiled at my face, then opened the door for me and we both went inside.

The car was so big inside. It smelled brand new and I loved that smell.

The seats were made of a smooth warm material I couldn't help but touch.

He started the car and turned on the heat. Although the car was nice, I was freezing inside.

He drove off into the street. I watched as the houses and the coffee shops zoomed past us.

"Bunny?" He said, his eyes glued to the road.

"Hm?"

"I'll take you home tonight, but I'll be leaving right after. I won't be back til later."

"Okay," I just nodded. I didn't feel like questioning him. I'll be in the house alone again, I guess.

We reached a huge college building. I guess this place must be only for the rich too because it was just as big and elegant as everything else around here. I bet I stand out like a sore thumb.

Logan helped me out the car and we walked toward the building. "Logan!" A man who looked to be made of nothing but muscle came toward us. He was wearing a basketball jersey. Memories of seeing one just like it when I met Logan at the bar flashed through my head.

"Noah!" Logan said. They did a hand shake and I giggled.

"Who's this cute little lady?" Noah asked, looking me up and down.

"This is the girl I told you about yesterday. This is Hannah Sky. Don't stare too much, Noah. She is already mine."

What?! What does he mean by that?

Noah held his giant hand out to me. I placed my hand in his and shook it. He gave me a big smile.

He burst out laughing. "Easy little thing, isn't she?"

"Noah, please don't call Bunny easy." Logan frowned.

"Alright alright. You know Chloe will be pissed at you for leaving the party early yesterday. She was looking all over for you."

"I don't care, Noah. I can leave whenever I want to. Besides I had to get back to Bunny." Logan said, giving me a charming smile.

"Is that what you're going to say to her?" Noah asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Hell no. She will kill me." Logan clutched his shirt over his chest.

Noah laughed. "She's already trying, dude!"

When we entered the school, Logan's name was called a lot along the way. He introduced me to a lot people, but I stopped caring after the 20th person.

I was simply his shadow. I held my head down as we walked. No one noticed I was there until Logan introduced me. Being here made me want to go back to the college that I stupidly dropped out of. At least I had friends there.

I decided I didn't want to think about that and the terrible memories I had there. I just want to go back home to Peyton.

Suddenly, I realized the big tree was walking under had disappeared. I was walking alone in the hallway, getting plenty of stares from the students around me. "Logan?" I called. "Logan?"

I walked down the halls, looking for him. Where could he have gone?

"Move it!" A tall man with bright red hair shoved my backpack and I fell onto the ground, landing on my butt. It hurt. I quickly looked up at him and glared. Who is this freak?

He loudly laughed at me. "Watch where you're going, little lady. You'll get squashed like a bug around here."

I heard laughs from the students around me. This was strange. I wasn't treated like this from the college I came from.

"Ha!" Someone loudly yelled at me. "She must be that poor transfer student."

I quickly became overwhelmed. My eyes immediately filled with tears. Logan where are you? Please take me home. I don't want to do this anymore.

I held my knees up against my chest and lay my head on them. I sobbed. I didn't know what do. Maybe if Peyton were here...

All I could hear were my sobs. The hall immediately went silent, causing me to look up.

Logan was walking down the hall toward his sobbing shadow. The look he had on his face was of pure anger. His blue eyes were blazing. He cracked his knuckles. He walked right past me, as if I wasn't even there.

He walked right up to the guy who had shoved me. Logan stood before him with a menacing look on his face. Logan was so much more bigger and more muscular than he was. The boy just stared up at Logan with his eyes full of fear.

I didn't know what Logan was going to do, but I was shocked at what it was.

Logan's fist slammed into the boy's face. Yes, his face.

My eyes went wide. "Logan!" I quickly stood from the ground and pulled at his arm to stop him. "What are you doing?!"

Logan snatched his arm away from my grip and grabbed the boy by his shirt. His nose was bleeding. "If you ever touch Bunny again, I'll kill you." He slammed the boy up against the locker, then let him go.

The boy immediately ran down the hall in fear. He was even sobbing. The students in the hall watched as he slipped and his entire body fell to the ground.

The hall burst into laughter. Everyone had completely forgot about me.

Logan quickly took my hand and pulled me down the hallway. "Bunny, I thought you were behind me the whole time." He said, slightly growling.

"I'm sorry, Logan." I felt like crying again. I haven't been here for 20 minutes and I was already causing him trouble.

"Bunny, don't apologize so much. You didn't do anything wrong. Come on, now. Let's go to class."

"Okay," I quickly agreed.
