It's been a long day here at the Palm Springs. A hot long day. AND! It's only 11am. Here I was fucking trapped inside the apartment room, sitting by the window, because we stayed out pass curfew. It wasn't anyone's fault but Carlos's. Carlos decided to follow a cat around last night because he swore it was going to turn into Professor McGonagall. We tried to tell him that just because you see a tabby cat sitting beside a lit street lamp doesn't mean it's a professor at Hogwartz. Then Logan said that Hogwartz wasn't even real and that's when Carlos was determined to show us that it was her. Unsurprisingly, it was just a cat.

I blame Logan and Carlos.

The only reason why I didn't really convince him as much as I could have was because we ended up meeting some girls at the ball park. One particularly stood out for me. Fable. She was...something else. I couldn't tell why I liked her so much. Maybe it was her flowing blonde hair, her perfect white smile she flashed all night, her big green eyes, and her charming personalitly...So I asked her if she wanted to walk around with us for a bit before we had to go back. She agreed and we got to talk. It was so easy to talk to her. I don't know why...we just clicked. Being with her completed my my night.

Anyway...I guess I'm kind of at fault for Carlos following that cat. James wasn't that innocent either...I don't even want to think about it.

Anyway, my mom was out for the day. She took Katie to "Six Flags" and our punishment was that we couldn't go and that we were to remain in the apartment till she got back. We couldn't sneak out and enjoy the day by the pool and get back in the apartment before she came home because every time we tried to escape either Bitters, Kelly, or Buddha Bob would catch us and send us right back and threaten to call my mom. This totally blows..

Thankfully we still had access to our computers and phones. We needed some contact with the outside world. I was so mad that my phone was the only thing keeping me from arguing with the others. They must have felt the same way as they had all taken to their computers, phones, and even the Xbox 360 live.

"Dammnit! Naturally!" Logan shouted. I looked up from my phone to see Logan throw his hands up into the air and fall by his sides in defeat.

"What's wrong?" James asked though it didn't really sound like he cared.

"Finally had the courage to ask that Jenna girl out..." Logan said. Jenna was this dark haired petite light skinned girl we had met two weeks ago at a signing. Logan really liked her and kept in touch with her. Even invited her to come see the baseball game with us last night. Seemed like she had liked him as much as he liked her.

"Oh yeah?" James asked grinning.

"Then she was like: "You know I like you too. But, like, I don't like you, like you. You're like something that I always have by my side. Something that I can trust to keep me safe and happy. You absorb all of my problems just as soon as they start to trouble me. I don't know what I'd do without you,"

"Ouch...friendzone..." James said.

"It gets worse," Logan said. He then cleared his throat and continued to read from his phone. "Hey, come to think of it you're like a tampon!"

The three of us started to bust out laughing! I couldn't help it. That was some funny shit. I had never heard of such a disgustingly funny analogy.

"BITCH A NO WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH!" Logan shouted and threw his phone down on the couch.

"Forever a tampon..." James said. My laughing subsided and I went back to my phone.

I could feel the summer sun on my neck that was shining through the open window and knew it was roasting the shit out of my skin. There was a time when I couldn't wait for the summer, you know before we got grounded? ...It's now 108 degrees and I want to die. I sighed and was even more annoyed at the fact that we were trapped in here.

"I can't take much of this..." I said, more to myself than the others as I got up.

"Suck it up," James said. I stopped in my tracks and turned my head slightly offended and grabbed the remote from the couch and shut the tv off.

"Ken- Dude, what the hell!" he threw the controller down. I smiled sarcastically.

"Suck it up," I mocked and proceeded to the fridge. Then a knock at the door came. I turned to see James still glaring at me as he made his way over to it.

I sipped from the can of coke that I had grabbed. When he opened it "Fable!" he said turning on his heel to look at me.

"Yeah I invited her," I said.

"We're not allowed to leave what makes you think we're allowed to invite people?" James asked.

"Hey, Carlos? James used "Alohamora" to open the door and it worked!"

"Dude-"

Carlos had looked up from the papers he was reading and jumped to his feet. "You have a wand!"

"No," James said.

"Let me see!" Carlos said. I smiled to myself and looked at Fable who was standing by the door watching my crazy friends.

"Hey," I said. She bit her lip, trying to stop from smiling.

"Hey, back," She said.

"Want something to drink?" I asked.

"I'm all set..."

"Fable," Came Logan. When I turned he was walking towards us.

"What's up?"

"Quick question."

"Do you have a tampon?" James asked. Logan turned in his spot and pointed a finger at him. "Shut-up!" he then turned back to face her composing himself. "Do-"

"You have a super tampon?" James said again.

"That's it!" Logan said going after him but I grabbed his arm.

"Let's not!" I urged.

"I'm done," James said. He held his hands up surrounding "Have to take a piss anyway..." and then made his way over to the bathroom.

Fable laughed. "I'm gay..." Carlos then said. What the hell? It went completely silent and we all looked at Carlos.

"Really now?" I ask asked.

Very seriously, as if Logan had offended him, Carlos replies with "Yes..."

"Holy shit..." Logan said.

Not sure what to say because this was kind of appalling to hear I say: "Well, that takes a lot to er...admit and tell someone..."

As if I was a moron he says "I only said I was happy. It's not a big deal," he said pulling himself to his feet.

And then it hit me, Logan, and Fable. I then begin to laugh.

"I'm not actually gay?" Carlos asked. We all began to laugh. "You guys seriously though I was being serious? Do I look gay?" Carlos asked, a hint of worry in his voice.

James then came out of the bathroom. "What are you guys talking about?" James asked.

"How Carlos is gay?"

"Logan showed me an example of it on paper - "

"He what?" James asked, shocked.

"Oh God why..." Logan said.

"Just forget it!" Carlos said. "This is why I hate English! It's supposed to enhance your vocab but instead it makes you look like an idiot!"

I looked to Fable who looked at me smiling. "Lets sit," I said and took her by the hand and lead her to the couch.

"Oh no! This is not going to be like yesterday! I sat there with you guys all awkward like! "Don't worry about it" you said "we'll talk to you the whole time!" you said!" Carlos cried a bit hysterically.

"Relax Carlos. We're not going to do anything..." I said. He eyed us for a moment. I could tell he didn't believe me for a second. Hell I didn't believe me. I smirked at Fable who shook her head and once again was forcing back a smile. "I think I am thirsty," Fable said.

"I'll get you something -" I said.

"No that's okay. I can get it. It's just a soda. I'm a big girl," I said. I chuckled. She walked away.

"AHH!" said running from the fridge back to the couch.

I jumped to my feet. "What's wrong!"

"There's a huge bug on the counter!" she freaked.

James laughed. "Afraid of bugs?"

"Go kill it!" she shrieked.

"I got this..." James said placing a hand on my chest. I furrowed my eyebrows.

"You're brave!" I mocked.

I looked at Fable who was walking further away from the couch to get as far as possible away from where the bug was. Girls. They over react about the stupidest things. But it was cute.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I turned to see James running towards me. "IT !" He ran past me and into the bathroom.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Fable screamed with him and followed after him until they were in the bedroom slamming the door behind them. Then I heard a buzzing noise fly by me and I fell to the ground. "Son of a bitch," I said.

"Is it gone!" I could hear Fable ask from the other side of the bedroom door. I listened to hear for the buzzing.

"There!" Carlos shouted. He was pointing at the couch. Logan then grabbed Carlos's helmet off his head and like a ninja he hit the bug with it. Logan smiled. "it's dead!"

Carlos furiously grabbed his helmet back and wiped the bug guts on Logan who tried desperately to his Carlos away. Carlos put the helmet back on his head.

"Do that again and I'll shove a tampon up your ass..."

"I thought you were the one who liked things up his ass," Logan bit back.

I could hear James laughing his ass off from the bedroom. I got to my feet. Fable slowly emerged from the bedroom. "I hate bugs..." She said.

"It's whatever..." I said. She sat back down on the couch with me. James ran a hand through his hair. I really wish we had work today so we weren't trapped in this apartment!" James said.

"We wouldn't be trapped in his apartment if it wasn't for freaking Carlos," Logan said.

"Or if maybe the problem solver of this friendship didn't have his own agenda - " James said looking at me.

"Agenda?" Fable asked looking at me. I shook my head. "Shut up, James..."

Fable looked away. I knew she now knew what James was talking about. She looked a little uncomfortable. "He's being stupid..."

"...So, Fable, do you work?" Carlos asked changing the subject.

"Yeah. There's a Smoothie Bar a few blocks from here. Its weird because all the guys at my job are so nice to me even though I barely pay them any mind. Never knew why..."

"It's because you're pretty," I said.

James furrowed his eyebrows. "It's because you have a vagina," James bluntly stated.

Fable mouth "wow". Logan sniggered. "That's true..." he agreed.

"Guys..." I said slightly annoyed.

"It's fine," Fable said. "I'm pretty sure if James here wasn't good looking and didn't have a dick he wouldn't get hit on either," I was kind of taken aback by her blunt statement because she sounded like James.

James then pressed his lips together. He looked down making it obvious to what he was staring at. Fable had a pretty nice size chest. He looked up at her. "You're entitled to your opinion,"

Then a loud "PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR . . . P-T-T-T-T..." came.

"Sorry," Carlos apologized. Seconds later a raunchy smell filled the air.

"Ew!" Fable said getting up from the couch. I followed after because it was disgustingly smelly.

"Seriously Carlos!" James shouted. We all but Carlos retreated to the other side of the room. Logan went into the bathroom and came out with an air freshener can. He immediately began to spray. "Sorry about this," I said to Fable.

"Really it's fine -"

"No it's not. My friends are being rude and disgusting. But that's only because we're trapped in this house on a hot day..."

"Don't worry about it...it's okay. It's been quite...interesting so far," She said.

After the blossom smell engulfed the fart we walked back over to the couch. Fable grabbed her purse and opened it. She pulled out a baby pink lip gloss and began to apply it. How I would love to be the lip gloss that touched her lips. I looked to see that James turned on the TV.

"White Collar. Nice..." he said.

"He's so hot,"

"I bet Carlos here couldn't agree more," Logan said.

"One more time!" Carlos warned Logan.

"You know he's gay right? Matt Bomer?" James questioned.

"What a co-wink-i-dink. So is Carlos!" Logan said.

"That's it!" Carlos said and got up. He began to chase Logan around the room.

"Anyway, he thanked his partner Simons Hall at the Kids Choice Awards Ceremony," James said.

"Everything went better than expected," Fable said.

"Why's that?" I asked.

"He's hot. I'm a huge fan and immensity attracted to him. I'd be infuriated if he ever dated some ho bag..." Fable stated.

"Hoe bag? Isn't that a little harsh?"

"I'm a fan It's how we think?" She said smiling.

"it's not like he's ever going to be with you," James said.

Fable shrugged his shoulders. "If I can't have him then no girl can," she said to him. James shook his head.

"Bitches be crazy," James said.

"Well at least we know who you're a huge fan of..." Fable said.

"Oh yeah?"

"Can you say Bieber," she said pointing up at his hair.

"Please. There are millions of guys out there who wear their hair like this. That doesn't make any of them Bieber fans. And if any kind of girl should know this, it's your kind: Zac Efron was the first to have the side hair style and brought it back into style.

"Wow...A "High School Musical" Fan here. I'm pretty sure if there was any gay in this room it'd be you. Simply because you would remember something like that," Fable said.

"O-kay!" I said getting to my feet. "I'm going to order pizza for lunch!"

"I'm going to use the bathroom," Fable said. She got up and with one last dirty look at James she walked away.

"Can you stop?" I asked.

"She started it,"

"No you did. Could you for 15 minutes just act like you have the ability to be nice,"

"Whatever...Just order the pizza,"

I sighed profoundly.

"I give!" Logan said. I looked around the room to find my two friends when right on the floor was Logan pinned down by Carlos. "I GIVE!" That seemed to be enough because Carlos off of him.

He walked back to the couch and threw himself back. "I want pepperoni and chicken on my pizza. Extra sauce. Extra cheese. And with a little bit of hot sauce," He said as he smiled victoriously. I looked up to see Logan on his feet and making fun of what Carlos was saying. But then something flew at his head.

"Found a tampon!" Carlos shouted.

"ENOUGH!" I said.

"Oh now you want to take charge. Where was this Kendall last night?" James said.

"I was doing what you wish you had been doing! You think I don't know why you're being so mean to Fable? It's because you like her. But I like her too! She's mine. So get over it!"

"If she was yours you wouldn't have been so threatened by what I was doing," James said.

"Well, it doesn't matter because she doesn't like you! Who would after the way you've been acting,"

"A lot of girls like guys when they act like this. You know that for a fact," James said.

We heard the bathroom door open. Fable walked out and as she walked past Logan she saw him holding an open tampon in his hand. "Is that my tampon?" she asked.

"Carlos did it!" Logan said.

"At least there's another one!" Carlos said.

"I didn't bring two," she said.

"The one in Logan's hand and then...Logan," Carlos said. Fable shook her head.

"Right," Fable said.

A half hour went by. It was the longest any of us had been quiet. We sat watching "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" in silence. Finally when the pizza arrived and we all served ourselves the talking commenced once again.

Fable pulled a strip of chicken from the pizza. "If I was chicken, would you eat me?"

"I would eat you now..." I said but then realized something. Shit I just said that aloud.

Fables eyes had gone big. James laughed. "Nice..."

"Hey we're all adults...sort of...we can talk about stuff like that," James said.

"it's not actually table talk..." I said.

"So we're all friends we should be able to say things like that. Fable how do you rub one out,"

Fable swallowed hard. "Excuse me?" she asked. I shook my head and just bit off a big piece of pizza.

"Rub one out." James said again.

"He's asking you how you masturbate," Logan asked.

Fable's jaw fell. "Why would I ever tell you that?"

"So you do?"

"No!"

"Too late," James said. He smiled satisfied.

"I think I know why you're such a dick," Fable said. James made a look that told her to give it to him.

"You need to get laid..." She said.

James laughed. "I could help with that," she said in a serious tone. James and my eyes met. Then James was smacked in the face with the Lay's back of chips. "You just god Lay'd,"

We all began to laugh. Even James couldn't help but laugh. Real funny. James put the bag of chips back on the table. Suddenly his phone began to ring. It was their song "Elevate". "You know I wrote this song?" he said to Fable.

"Nice of you to take the blame," she said.

"Hah-hah" James said and walked away to answer it. I watched Fable watch James walk away then turn back to eat another bite of her pizza. I don't know what it was but something just died in me.

"Someone's too cool to talk in front of us while he's on the phone," Fable laughed. "Probably his girlfriend or something..."

And there it was...

"James doesn't have a girlfriend," Carlos said as he stuffed his face.
