Nathan's POV
DIIING!

"Finally, the end of the day!" Zane grabbed his book bag off the floor. "Which means it's time for me to sleep in."

"Yeah, I don't think that's gonna happen" Lucas shook his head.

"Trust me, after the amount of work I did this whole week, best believe I'm gonna take a nap" Zane sighed.

"Anyways, we'll see you guys on Monday." I threw Jane my car key. "Let's go, brat."

Sofia scoffed. "That's what you're addressing me as? A brat?"

"Want me to call you an insect then? Because I could do that" I asked.

"Can't you just call me by my name, like a normal person would do?" Sofia asked.

"Hmm.....are you gonna pay me to do that?" I asked.

"Hell no!" Sofia answered.

"Then there's your answer" I said. "Just get your shit together before I leave you here. Jane, tell Mom I won't be home for two days so if she needs me, she can call me."

"Um.... okay, but—"

I started walking away from the group as Sofia walked next to me.

"WAIT!" Jane yelled. "Where are you two going though? And where are you gonna sleep?"

I opened the double doors of the gym that led to the school's parking lot. "We're staying over by you-know-who's."

With that, we both exited the gym.

"So," Sofia started, making me side eye her, "what's your history with Logan?"

"Is every question you have about him?" I asked.

"I just wanna get to know you two a little more, ya know?" Sofia defended. "Besides Xena and sometimes Isaac, you barely express yourself to us, so can you really blame me?"

I shook my head, unlocking Logan's house door. Once it unlocked, I stepped through the door.

I looked around the house to see Logan's room door wide open while the sound of speeding cars passed through the house.

"Looks like we're early" I said.

Sofia took off her boots before looking up at the black clock that was hung next to the door.

"I wouldn't rely on that clock if I were you" I told her. "It ain't exactly in progress."

"Yeah, I can tell." Sofia swiped her finger onto the clear casing that covered the clock to see a bunch of dust clung to it. "Anyways, you gonna answer my question or what?"

I sighed. "Look, I was sixteen when I met Logan so he was maybe around....four or five. His mother was an addict who brung random men over to her house and he was a kid who didn't know any better. Someone had to take care of him so I volunteered to until I graduated high school. What more do I need to tell you?"

Sofia squinted her eyes at me.

CLICK!

The house door opened and Vincent and Logan stepped through it. Vincent looked as though he just woke up from a long nap while dressed in grey sweats, a white shirt, white sneakers and black sunglasses while Logan still had on his black school uniform.
