Logan's Ride

*******************************************************************************

NOTE: I am bringing this thread back to this story (Thanks you Duskford). I will be keeping Logan's path separate from Zack's path but there will be some crossover events. There will be events and people that happen to both of them BUT they will be written from different the viewpoints and how people and events around them influence them unknowingly.

Or you could just straight up enjoy write and expand to your own enjoyment.

If you liked and commented on the other story please do so here again and let me know what you think about this idea.

Enjoy

Narrator:

But not everyone was at the Field Trip that day.

Probably the most important event in Logan's life was when he lost his virginity with Sharon, but that is a story that has already been told elsewhere so I won't repeat it here.

Something like that will definitely leave a big impression. I guess it made him grow up faster than the rest of us. Maybe that is why we all looked up to him, he seemed more mature and protective towards us though I think he would probably deny it.

============================================

Logan Ravers rode his blue Kawasaki KLX 100 up the path trying to follow Charlie Harrington on his Yamaha YZ250 who was trailblazing the path at almost 50 kph. 'He's going kill himself one of these days.' Logan mused has he almost bounced off a boulder on the side of the hill. 'Focus Logan!'

About 100 meters behind Logan, Dustin Lewis was also struggling to keep up in his own green Kawasaki KLX 100.

They finally reached the top of the hill and caught up with Charlie while sitting on a boulder overlooking Crystal Lake while he waited for them to catch up.

"YES!!! 15 minutes and 37 seconds. New record!!!" Charlies fist pumped the air. Logan laughed at his friend’s antics.

The three friends sat down, relaxed and enjoyed the day. They talked about their vacations, school and girls; Charlie raved about which girls her the hottest with Dustin following along. Logan just smiled and nodded and made a few comments but mostly, his blue eyes drifted over to Crystal Lake, his mind kept wandering elsewhere. He continued to re-run his conversation with Sharon where they broke their relationship and decided to be 'just friends' only a few months after losing their virginity to each other. He didn't know exactly how he could continue treating Sharon has 'just friends'. Was it wrong to be that close with each other? Maybe that's why they kept it secret from the rest of the Inner Circle.

"Can we go?" Dustin asked again for the 5th time. "I really got to take a dump."

Charlie tossed him a roll of toilet paper "There's a tree around the bend with a root that shaped like a seat you can use. We’re not going home from here till it's dinner time."

Dustin huffed has he stood up and left. When Dustin was out of earshot. Charlie shot the question point blank "So who's the girl?"

"What?" Logan answered surprised

"Who is the girl that has you down? You've been flying high the whole summer and now you look like shit, like someone just ran over and killed your dog, if you had one. You didn't bring us out here just to look at the lake so spill it out, what happened with her?"

"We... we decide to be 'just friends' for now." Logan said.

"So, she dumped you, did she say why?" Charlie added.

"What? No, she didn't dump me. We just think that maybe... we should just… stay friends." Logan answered defensively.

"Ohh! So it was Sharon." Charlie grinned and slapped Logan on his back. "Good for you man!"

"Wha-What?! How did you know? Did she say something?" Logan asked

"Nah! I may not be Book Smart like Dustin, but I know girls. I saw the way you two have been sneaking looks at each other and sneaking off." He added has he winked. "That's a great way to start. Course... having your dad buy you a night at Magenta really is the best." Charlie laughed.

"Please don't tell anyone, especially Heather she would kill me if she found out that we... that I..." Logan started to stutter.

"I wouldn't bet on Heather not knowing. She probably guessed it by now. If I could figure it out, I bet she does too. Don't worry. I won't tell anyone, especially Dustin now that he finally wants to try for Vicky. Don't want to put a downer on his dream girl do we?"

"Thanks Charlie. I really don't know what to do. I... I thought we had something real but ..." Logan trailed off.

"Hey! What you had was real, but things run their course if you know what I mean." Charlie said to his friend trying to get him out of his slump. "I know how you feel man. I've been there too, believe me. But... Time to move on, new things to do and, new girls to do." he winked "Dustin might be a one girl dude and that's great for him, but you and me, we have to see what's out there, we got to test drive before we buy. Dustin can read the spec sheet and know what his ride is, but we don't settle for the first car we see, we got to try them all to get the best one. Maybe you come back to Sharon at the end and maybe you don't, nobody know who you end up with so might has well enjoy the trip."

"I guess you’re right. Thanks Charlie" Logan agreed with his friend, he felt better knowing he wasn't alone in what he was going through and what he was feeling even though he didn't fully agree with Charlie's view on girls.

"Anytime man. Now we got to help Dustin get his girl. But First... I want to see what kind of drunk he is." Charlie said.

About that time Dustin came back and the three friends continued to shoot the breeze and plan what they were going to do this school year and what girls they were going to get even though they all know it was mostly bullshit. Dustin even asked Logan which of the girls in their circle of friends would he bring along with him on a double date with Victoria. At the end of the day, Logan felt much better out here with his two buddies. He felt as if a big weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
