A/N: I recently came up with a new idea for a story, and while originally it was going to be a one-shot, I've been stretching it into chapters. At the moment, I've got half of the story written out, and the entire thing planned, so updates shouldn't take too long. Hopefully you enjoy reading this as much as I've liked writing it, and since a lot of the chapters are already written, reviews just might get this updated faster ;) Anyways, enjoy.

Chapter one: Untitled

Logan stepped out onto the PCA campus once again, pausing as he took it all in. He looked around, seeing if he could spot any familiar faces, but couldn't seem to find one of his friends. Perhaps he was early this year, which meant he'd be the first one to the dorm, which meant he would have the single bed again. In sophomore year Michael had beaten him there in a race that Chase had proposed, and Logan wasn't going to let that happen again this year.

He casually strolled over to the dorm hall with one of his many bags in hand to see which room he'd be in this year. It was already obvious who his roommates were; him, Chase and Michael had shared a dorm for the last eight years at PCA and Logan was sure they would be together yet again for their junior year.

Slowly, Logan entered the lounge, and catching sight of his Dorm Advisor he headed to see which room he'd be in. Logan readjusted the bag on his shoulder and walked over to James, his DA, the same one he'd had for thee last three years. James too seemed to notice him coming because he flipped a few papers on his clipboard as Logan approached.

"James, my man" Logan greeted him with one of those manly knuckle bumps and James simply grinned back. "What room am I in this year?" He asked, raising an eyebrow for some sort of effect. Although he had already riffled though the papers, James once again went searching for Logan's name as Logan waited patiently for his room assignment.

"Ah, Reese," James looked up, "You're bunking with Chase Matthews and Michael Barrett again, in room…" he paused, taking another quick look at his sheet before answering. "Four Seventeen." James finished, smiling up to Logan. Logan slipped him a ten dollar bill, obviously happy with the room he'd been assigned to, and there was no reason he shouldn't be happy with it. The fourth floor was usually reserved to the seniors, which meant the fourth floor had the best rooms in the entire building. Seniors were given more apartment-like rooms because it was their last year and they usually needed the privacy and space.

Grabbing his key from James, Logan headed towards the elevator and flipped open his cell phone. He dialed a few numbers and notified the movers outside of his dorm hall and room number and requested that they start bringing his items up immediately. After his call, he pressed the button labeled "4" on the elevator and headed up to check out his room and claim the single bed.

Fortunately, claiming the single bed wasn't much of a problem because there were no bunk beds anyhow. The room was much better then Logan had even expected it to be. He jingled his key in the lock and turned it, unlocking the door. Grabbing the door handle, he swung it open and stepped into the room. In front of him was a large room, split between what seemed to be a living area and a kitchen type environment. To his right there was a couch and two chairs along with a television. Logan quickly made a note that the television was much too small and would have to go.

To his left was the kitchen space consisting of an island with six bar stools surrounding it. Behind that on the wall to the far left was a countertop with a sink, a mini fridge and a few cabinets, obviously for storage. Overall, it wasn't too shabby; nothing great, but it would work. Just beyond the kitchen and living areas on the far wall directly in front of him were two doors. Logan could only guess that they were the bedrooms.

Stepping inside the dorm, Logan closed the main door behind him, checking the room out. He walked across the main room towards the first door on his right and turned the knob, opening it. Inside was the dorm's washroom, equipped with all of the usual things any washroom would have. Logan was grateful to have his own washroom inside the dorm this year. Truthfully, he had found it annoying to have to walk down the hall every time he wanted to brush his teeth or take a shower, and now he wouldn't have to.

Logan could only guess that the other door would be the bedroom for the three boys, so he ventured over to check out the room they'd be sharing for the next year. Instead of opening the door to find the usual single bed and bunk bed, there were three large beds against different corners of the room. The bedroom area seemed to be about twice the size of Zoey, Lola and Quinn's room last year, so the three boys had plenty of room.

Logan walked over to the left side of the room and placed his bag onto the bed, claiming it his own for the year. The other two beds were opposite to him, and there was a desk in front of the window on the wall directly across from the door.

"Mr. Reese, Sir?" A voice called from the main room. Logan followed it out to discover a few of the movers with boxes in their hands. "Where should we put these?" One of the movers asked and Logan directed some of the men into the bedroom, and just asked the others to leave their boxes in the main area.

Once the boxes were all inside the room, Logan opened some of them to unpack. He took out a few things for the main room while some workers installed a new television inside the living room. Another worker came in and began to set up the stereo system as he unpacked the last of the items for the kitchen and living space.

Standing up straight and scratching the back of his neck he realized it was now six thirty; Chase and Michael should have been there by now. As if right on cue, the duo waltzed through the door admiring the room in all its glory. Michael stumbled around a bit, shocked at how spacious the room was and Chase seemed unable to move. The distinct thud of Chase's bag falling off his arm brought the two boys back to reality. After Chase picked up his bag, they each stepped farther into the room, looking around.

"Chase! Michael!" Logan greeted each of them with their secret handshake they'd come up with many years prior. He flashed each of them a grin, gesturing to the room, "You like?" Both boys nodded their heads, and followed Logan through the open door of their bedroom. Chase and Michael each placed one of their bags on the bed of their choosing and headed back out the door to grab the rest of their things and unpack.

Once all the boy's boxes were in the bedroom they all began to unpack. Logan grabbed a box from the floor and placed it onto his bed, opening it and preparing to unpack whatever was inside it. The first thing he pulled out was a picture; it was one of himself and Dana from the dance three years ago. Chase glanced over and saw Logan looking over the picture and gave him a knowing smile when Logan placed it on his bedside table.

It had been over two years since he'd last seen her and he still couldn't forget about her. During freshmen year the two had Instant Messaged a lot and Logan had emailed her constantly updating her on his life. It was very rare that she'd reply, but when she did, she updated him too on her new school in France.

He was grateful that she'd remembered him, but then her replies became almost non-existent until eventually they stopped coming at all. Chase had heard most of the stories, and without Logan actually having to say it, Chase could tell Logan felt something for Dana. He had to if he was still keeping her picture at his beside after three years.

As Logan unpacked the last few items from his box he noticed an old black notebook at the bottom of a box he'd tossed to the side a few minutes ago. Michael too seemed to notice as he reached into the box and picked it up, eyeing it. It had a charcoal colored front, and more than half the pages were ripped out of it. Logan's roommates eyed him as if to inquire what it was exactly. Instead of answering, Logan raised an eyebrow and snatched the notebook away from Michael, tossing it onto his bedside table, making a mental note to throw it out later.

"I heard there's a new pizza place on campus now" Chase piped up, hoping to gain the attention of his roommates. They each glanced at him, silently urging him to continue on. "We should check it out. You guys hungry?" He asked. Michael's stomach suddenly growled at the sound of food, signifying to Chase and Logan he was up to pizza. "Yeah man, I'm starving" Michael said, and Logan added a 'yeah, sure.'

The boys left a few of their cardboard boxes around the main room, but other then that they were fully unpacked by now. They each stepped into the elevator at the end of the hall and pressed the "L" button to proceed down to the lounge. Once out of the elevator and inside the lounge, Logan spotted a few recognizable faces and called out a few 'Hey's and waved to a few people before continuing towards the pizza joint.

On their way through campus Chase spotted Nicole and Lola carrying several bags over by the fountain. The boys called out to them, waving, and Nicole waved back. Bending over to pick up one of the bags she'd dropped, Nicole accidentally bumped into Lola, causing her to drop most of her bags and fall over.

"Nicole!" They heard Lola screech as Chase and Michael rushed over to help the ladies with their bags. Logan walked over casually, not really expecting to help the girls.

Nicole had returned back to PCA for junior year, obviously cured from her OMGD. It seemed as if that was what had been causing her hyperactivity all along, seeing as she was considerably calmer. Nicole's long hair was still long, but seemed to have something new to it, making it stand out more, highlights perhaps, and she was quite a few inches taller as well. Lola looked relatively the same, considering it had only been two months since the boys had seen her last.

"Michael!" Lola shrieked, pulling him into a hug as Logan picked up one of her bags, "And Chase!" She hugged him as well. Turning around she spotted Logan and trapped him into an embrace like she had with the others, "It's so great to see you."

Next it was Nicole's turn, and she pulled each of the guys into a group hug. "I haven't seen you in so long!" She gushed, squeezing them until Chase mentioned they needed air to live. The five of them stood talking for a few moments until the grumble of Michaels stomach reminded the boys of where they were headed.

"Hey, we were just on our way to get a bite to eat at the new pizza place" Chase started, "Wanna come with?" he asked. Nicole and Lola exchanged glances before replying.

"Um, Sure" Lola smiled, "Just let us put this in our dorm, find Zoey, and we'll meet you guys there?" She responded. It sounded more like a question then an answer, and to which Chase replied a simple 'sure' and waved to them as they continued on their way.

Logan, Chase and Michael continued on past the basketball courts, and soon caught sight of the new pizza place, 'Joe's Pizza.' 'Lame Name' Logan thought as they walked up to the place. Michael opened the door, and stepped inside first, looking around. There were tables and chairs, but nothing too fancy. Logan made his way over towards one of the tables further in the back and the three waited for both the girls and their waiter.

"Hey, I'm Jeff" The waiter approached them, "Can I take your order?" he asked, holding out a pen and a small notebook. The three of them looked to each other, unsure of what to order for the girls, so they went with something that they'd all like.

"Uh, a large pepperoni pizza, please" Logan stated, "Oh! And six cokes" he added. The waiter gave him a weird look, wondering why three boys would need six drinks, but shrugged it off. Business was business, right?

Soon the pizza arrived, and Michael immediately grabbed a slice, not bothering to wait for the three girls. Logan took this as his cue to grab himself one as well. Soon enough though, the three girls came through the door laughing with each other, probably explaining what each of them had done over the summer. Michael had already begun his speech about his summer vacation at basketball camp, and Logan was vaguely paying attention.

"Zoey!" Chase interrupted Michael, "Over here," he waved them over towards the table. Each of them took a seat; Zoey beside Chase, then Nicole, and Lola next to Logan. The girls each greeted the guys, and grabbed themselves a slice of pizza. None of them had really changed much except Nicole.

"So as I was saying" Michael gave a look to Chase who has interrupted him seconds before, "Over the summer I went to basketball camp," he chomped on his slice of pizza and downed a gulp of coke, "And we learned some pretty sick moves. You know, I was great at basketball before, but now I'm amazing," he boasted. Everyone smiled at him, happy to hear he'd had a great summer. "What about you guys?" He asked.

"Not much" Chase started, "Chilled out most of the time" he admitted, "But I went on vacation for a week." That seemed to be the high point of his summer. It seemed as though he was going to continue until Nicole cut him off.

"I went on vacation too!" She screeched. Without her OMGD she was usually a lot more relaxed, but when she was excited, she was the same old Nicole.

"I went to Paris with my mom to go sightseeing and buy clothes," She gushed. Logan, who hadn't been paying much attention to the others, suddenly snapped his head up at the sound of 'Paris.' Chase glanced at him, giving him a knowing look and seeing the hope on his face. Nicole, unaware of this, continued on. "You'll never guess who I ran into," She had the biggest smile plastered onto her face, "Just guess! Really, Guess!" She squealed.

"Um, was it someone famous?" Zoey inquired, seemingly interested. "No," Nicole answered, "It was Dana!"

At this point Logan's eyes widened and he focused on every word escaping Nicole's mouth. "I recognized her when me and my mom were at a food stand by the Eiffel Tower" She explained, "And I went over and we were so excited to see each other. She told me all about her school, and the boyfriend's she's had." At this point Logan visibly tensed but Nicole didn't seem to catch it so she continued, "I told her all about PCA, and she said she misses everyone here. The two of us hung out practically the whole two weeks I was there, we're like best friends now, and then after that we kept talking over the internet all summer." She smiled, "It was so great to see her."

The group seemed to talk about this a while longer, and Nicole shared her stories of summer holidays. Logan didn't seem to be too interested in anyone else's explanation of their summer vacation, but the rest of the group continued talking about the last two months. Ever since Nicole had mentioned Dana, it was all Logan could focus on.

"Crap" Lola said suddenly, "It's already eight thirty. We still have to unpack." She stood up and grabbed her purse waiting for the other girls.

"Yeah, we all just dropped off our bags and headed over here," Zoey explained, and she and Nicole stood up as well. "I'll call you later and we'll make more plans to catch up, I promise." Zoey stated with a smile and she and the other two girls proceeded to walk out of 'Joe's Pizza' and presumably towards their dorm room.

As the waiter came around and cleaned off the table, Logan paid because Chase and Michael convinced him that he should because he had the money to spare. The three boys headed out of the pizza place, deciding that it was a good addition to the campus restaurants, and started off towards the dorms. On their way, they passed by the basketball court and Logan managed to lure them into a game or two.

A half hour on the court proved tiring for both Chase and Michael, and they both wanted to head back to the dorm room. Logan told them to go and that he'd be up shortly, so both boys started walking, telling Logan to hurry up. Considering Logan didn't really have someone to play against, he decided he'd work on his free throw. He was better then ever, probably even better then Michael was. Basketball always proved to be a get-a-way for Logan. Whenever he was angry or upset, or even just needed to think, he'd come to the courts and toss a few free throws, and on this particular day he had a lot to think about.

This was the first time since mid-freshman year that anyone had even heard from Dana. Why hadn't she bothered to stay in touch with any of them? But the more important question was, why did Logan even care? Although he'd never admit to it, he had always had something for Dana; he couldn't tell what it was, but it was definitely something. She had lured him in since day one. Her attitude had been what attracted him, but her personality was what kept him hooked. She hadn't been like any other girl. She had self respect, confidence and she wasn't easily taken in by his jerk-ish 'charm', and that what had always been intriguing about her. That's why he could never let her go.

With a deep sigh, Logan retreated from the courts, heading up towards his dorm with a heavy heart. Slowly, he made his way to the lounge and down the hall towards the elevator. Pressing "4" he let the door close and the elevator take him to his floor. He ventured down the hallway, jiggling his key in the door, and swinging it open. Closing it behind him, he went into the bedroom to grab a pair of pajama pants and his toothbrush, which he made a mental note to keep in the bathroom instead.

Walking into the bathroom, he took a shower, brushed his teeth and changed into his plaid bottoms before walking into his room. Getting into bed, he found he couldn't manage to sleep, so he reached over to grab his cell phone off the side table. Instead, his hands found a black notebook and Logan grabbed it along with a pen. Just a bit of writing couldn't hurt.

Dear Journal, notebook thing; he began.

Today was the first day back to PCA. Not much happened though. Me, Chase and Mike got assigned to this sweet room. It has a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and of course our bedroom. It's kind of like a mini apartment thing, sort of. After unpacking, we went to this new pizza joint called 'Joe's Pizza.' It was pretty good. We met up with the girls there and exchanged summer stories. Mike went to basketball camp, Chase went somewhere on vacation, and Nicole went to Paris. I don't remember where anyone else went, because after Nicole mentioned Dana, my mind was kind of tied on that. I can't believe that after three years I'm still hooked on her. She's like fucking oxygen to me, I don't get it. I haven't seen her in ages, why do I still feel as if I like her. It's so messed up. After the pizza place, me, Mike and Chase went to shoot some hoops. They left and I stayed for a bit doing some free throws. Came back to the dorm after, got ready for bed, and here I am. Michael's snoring, so I can't sleep. Damn, I wish he'd be quiet.

-Logan

In a matter of seconds, Michael turned over in bed and ceased his snoring. A smile crept onto Logan's face as he laid in his bed, 'Damn, that's lucky.'

A/N: If a get a few good reviews I might put up chapter two tonight because this one was mainly an intro chapter and was probably boring. :) Review please!
