"Bunny?! Bunny?!"
I could hear someone yelling my name, but I couldn't see where the voice was coming from. My body felt cold and my back was laying up against something hard and rough.
What happened to me?
"Bunny? Wake up!" The voice was coming from Logan. It was full of worry and fear.
Wake up? When did I go to sleep?
I pried my eyes open to see Logan looking down at me with worry in his eyes. "Bunny!" He exclaimed. "You're okay!"
I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. I let out a groan in pain. "What happened to me?" I asked.
"You fainted," Reginald said. "Logan failed at catching you so you hit your head."
Fainted? I have never fainted before in my life!
I slowly moved my body and got into a sitting position. I groaned again and held the back of my head.
"I'm so sorry, Bunny. I wasn't fast enough." Logan said. "You'll need some ice,"
"No, I'm fine," I said. "What were you saying before Logan? I-I can't remember."
"I don't want to say it again. I'm afraid you'll pass out."
"I won't, okay? Just tell me."
"My father wants me to take over his company."
When he said those words again, I started to feel weak. I couldn't believe it.
"Take over his company?! Logan, you're not a businessman!"
"I know, I know. He's going to teach me everything I need to know. I'm going to have to put all my time and energy into training."
"W-What about school and basketball?! Are you just going to throw all of that away for his business?"
"Bunny, I already told you I was planning on leaving basketball. As for school, I'm going to drop out."
All of this hit me like a brick. He was throwing away his future for the man who hurt him and abandoned him.
"What about me?" I asked, lowering my eyes. "Are you going to leave me too?"
"Of course not, Bunny. I want you to come with me."
"Come with you?"
"Yes. We could work together and you could live in the building with me."
"Logan-"
"Please Bunny, I know it doesn't sound great right now, but I'll work everything out."
"Do you expect me to drop out of college too, Logan?"
"It's up to you, Bunny."
Up to me? Should I drop out again?
If you leave, you'll regret it. A voice said in my head.
No. I will not be that stupid. I refuse to drop out of college for a man again.
"I want to stay in school, Logan. I've wanted to graduate for a long time and I won't give that up again."
"Alright," he smiled at me. "If you want to stay then you can stay. But, I'm warning you, you won't have any fun without me."

I giggled. He was right, it wouldn't be any fun without him.
"We will start your training tomorrow, Logan," Reginald said, placing his hand on his son's shoulder.
Logan turned to his dad and smiled. "Dad, I'm ready to become a businessman."
I smiled to myself to cover up my sadness. He wouldn't be the same Logan anymore.
But something inside me was happy for him. He was taking away his fathers business. All I can do now is support him and stay by his side.
Hopefully, he'll be just as good as his father is.
******4 months later******
I hurriedly did my makeup. I was going to graduate in a few hours.
"Fuck," I cursed. "I should've gotten ready earlier."
Behind me, I heard my phone buzz. I ran over to it on the bed. It was a message from Beverly.
We're here. Open the door. It said.
I ran down the stairs, through the kitchen, dining room and living room.
Once I approached the front door I swung it open. Behind it stood Beverly and Violet.
They were both nicely dressed and ready to go.
Violet was in a long Purple dress with a slit up one of the legs. Her hair was perfectly straightened, diamond earrings in her ears. She wore light makeup on her face.
Beverly's long blonde hair lay on her shoulders. She was dressed in a skin-tight blue dress and white heels.
"That's how you're showing up to graduation? You look like shit." Violet said, looking me up and down.
"No, it's not. I was getting ready until you two showed up." I said as they walked in. They followed me back up the stairs and up to my room.
Violet pulled my dress out from the closet. The dress was a red, long, silky, sleeveless dress. I picked it out with my mother and we both agreed that it was gorgeous.
I took it from her, then ran into the bathroom to put it on. The dress was a tight fit. It hugged my breasts and my curves. Still, I looked amazing in it.
Beverly helped me curl my long hair. After that, I finished my makeup then slipped my gold hoop earrings into my ears.
I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. "Damn girl," I said. "You're sexy as fuck."
Violet and Beverly burst into laughter. I rolled my eyes at them then slipped my black 3-inch heels onto my feet.
"Spray me," I told Violet. I twirled as she showered me in perfume. Logan had bought it for me a few days ago. One day I came home from school to see it on my bed with a sticky note attached to it.
The sticky note read: I'll see you soon, Bunny. I promise.
"All set!" I clapped my hands together.
"Do you wanna get there early?" Violet asked.
"Yeah," I said. "We can put on our robes when we get there."

We hurried down the stairs. Beverly's car was parked out front. Taking careful steps, I went down the concrete stairs, trying not to trip. I stepped into the back seat, while Violet and Beverly sat in the front.
Then we drove off.
Although I was trying to smile, I was devasted Logan couldn't graduate with me. I sent him an invitation, but he didn't call to tell me he was coming. I hadn't see Logan in a few weeks. He had been with his father, training to be a proper businessman.
"Thinking of your boyfriend?" Beverly asked, watching me through the mirror.
"Yeah."
"Is he coming?" Violet asked.
"I sent him an invitation. He never got back to me."
"His loss." Violet rolled her eyes.
"At least your boyfriend will be there," Beverly cooed, giving Violet a giant smile.
"Charles has to be there, Beverly."
Yes, you heard that right. Charles and Violet are dating. Their three month anniversary is today.
Logan and I's was a few weeks ago. He sent me a bouquet of roses, which are still healthy and alive today.
"We're here," Beverly sung. She stopped the car in the parking lot of the giant college. We stepped out, then walked inside.
Loud music was bursting through the halls. The other graduates were yelling over the music to each other.
I caught the eyes of Chloe and Heather. They glared at me. I glared back. They've grown a deep hatred for me ever since I told Logan what Chloe had done.
Chloe was not punished for summoning Jason because of the power her parents had, but she did ruin any chance her family had at meeting the Pythons.
"Bitches," Violet said under her breath.
We walked past them, then entered the main room, where the ceremony would take place.
The room looked like a giant auditorium. The stage was beautifully lit and covered in ribbons.
Violet and I pulled in our robes and caps.
Parents were shuffling in along with more of the graduates. Noah and Chase caught my eye. I had no idea they were cousins until a few weeks ago.
Violet and I sat in our seats along with Beverly. After twenty minutes the auditorium was completely full. My parents had arrived and sat with us as well.
"Oh, I'm so excited." Mom said. "My baby's graduating!"
Rachel, who was Violet's Mom hugged her daughter tight. "Your father would be so proud of you!"
The ceremony began. Chloe and Heather gave a speech about their successes and how much they'll miss all the students.
Violet and I gave each other a look, but we clapped anyway.
Then the principal began to call names to collect our diplomas.
Behind me, I heard a loud squeak. A few others turned with me. The door was slowly opening. A man walked in, holding a giant bouquet of flowers, which covered his entire upper body. The only reason I could tell it was a guy because he was wearing pants.
"Hannah Sky." The principal said.
My parents, Violet and Beverly loudly screamed for me. I stood up from my seat and went on stage to collect my reward. I took my diploma from the principal and she shook my hand. I joined the rest of the students whose names were already called.
Violet's name was called next and we yelled for her. She came and stood next to me with a big smile on her face.
Once the names were done being called, we threw up our hats.
I did it. I finally graduated. After I left for Peyton... I started over and actually did it.
I ran off the stage and jumped into my father's arms. He hugged me tight and kissed my forehead. "You did it, Hannah! I'm so proud of you!"
I tried not to cry. He was proud of his stupid daughter.
"Hannah," My mother grunted behind me. In her arms was the giant bouquet of red roses. They looked to be the same roses the man had walked in with earlier.
"A strange man gave these to me. He said they were for you."
For me? Who would want to give me flowers?
I took the flower from her hands. I almost dropped them. They had to be at least thirty pounds. "Thanks Mom," I grunted and sat them on one of the tables. "Is there a note?"
"I don't think so," Mom said. I searched through the flowers, but there was no envelope to be found.
Who gives flowers but forgets a note? Weird.
"Hannah! Come dance with us!" Violet yelled at me.
I left my parents, then joined her and Beverly on the dance floor.
When the music began to play, Violet, Beverly and I danced to the beat together.
"Thank God it's over!" Violet said. "We finally did it!"
"You said it!" I yelled, swaying my hips.
Beverly was no longer dancing. She was staring off into the distance. "Guys, who's that?" Beverly said, pointing in the other direction.
Violet and I turned at the same time. Behind us stood Noah and a man. The man was in a silky black tux that looked to be worth a million dollars. His black dress shoes were shiniest shoes I have ever seen. The man had his hands deep into his pockets, as if he was nervous. His dirty blonde hair was nicely combed back, making him look like a true businessman. The man was watching us with a big smile on his face, his gorgeous blue eyes blazing into mine.
He winked at me. The word pervert immediately popped into my head.
"Hannah, does that guy like familiar to you?" Violet asked, turning to me.
"A little," I squinted. "Do you know him?"
"Are you stupid? That's your boy!" Violet said, pointing at him.
"My boy? What are you talking about?"
"Logan! That's Logan!"
Wait... Logan? MY Logan?!
"WHAT?!"
