Big Time Body Swap
Chapter 1: I hate my life!
A/N : This is my first story. I always wanted to write but never had the inspiration to. Since all the news/rumors about the show ending, I decided to start writing so I would be able to have a BTR outlet when it ends. This story is a storyline/plot that I have been hoping for in a story since I started reading BTR fanfiction. Since I haven't seen it, I decided to write this. It came to me when I thought to myself how I would feel if I body swapped with a member of BTR, I would definitely fall in love with who I saw in the mirror. My OTP is Kogan so that's why I chose Kendall and Logan for the swap.
Disclaimer : I don't own Big Time Rush or any other recognizable copyrighted things. If I did own Big Time Rush, I would be able to finally meet them IRL.
Logan's Point of View
I would be lying if I said I enjoyed my life. I mean my life is totally worthless. My boyfriend is the only thing that keeps me going. Did I mention I'm gay? Well my name is Logan Mitchell, and I'm that gay nerdy kid that everyone likes to make fun of. It's not like it was my choice, my boyfriend James basically outed me out. I told him we shouldn't have gone out on a date in public. I mean, I get tormented enough for being smart and nerdy; this just gives them more ammunition to hurt me. I mean yeah, my parents accepted me when they found out and that helps, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be a jock and not worry about the bullies. Even if I was a gay jock, I would at least be able to have a fake girlfriend through high school, since I would be on the top tier of prospective boyfriends. Life would be so much easier if I was my neighbor Kendall Knight.
It was a typical Friday at Castle High School. School was horrible as usual. Classes were okay since I pretty much ace any thing my teachers throw at me. It's those stupid bullies that ruin everything. Jett and his gang always taunting me, throwing things at me, and pushing me into the lockers. It just hurts so much. At least when James is around they don't do anything; once he leaves, they pounce on me like there's no tomorrow. Right now it's lunch and I'm sitting with James and talking about what we're doing tonight.
"So… Logiebear what do you think about going to the movies tonight?" James said excitedly.
"I don't know James. I would love to, but you know I hate going out in public." shrugging my shoulders while looking at James with the "you know why" look.
"How many times do I have to say I'm sorry about that. You act like I meant to 'out you'. You know I care about you… right? You shouldn't let what other people think determine how you live." James grunted, getting frustrated since he and I always have this argument.
"I know you didn't. I just feel more safe at home. But if you really want to go, then it's fine with me. I know how much it means to you that we go out." I exclaimed, realizing that James wasn't gonna give up on this.
"Thank you Logie. Don't worry about tonight. I'll make sure you don't regret it." James said happily. He was super excited. Finally he could take Logan on a real date. Sometimes he felt that Logan was ashamed of him. Hopefully tonight will put his worries away.
"So when should I be ready by?" I asked, knowing James would want to pick him up as usual.
"Be ready by 7 tonight." James said as he started contemplating on what he was going to wear for their date.
Kendall's Point of View
To anyone on the outside, my life seems perfect. My name is Kendall Knight and I'm the All-American Jock that has the head cheerleader girlfriend. To be honest, it's not the life I want. It may come as a surprise to everyone, but I'm actually gay and way in the closet. There is no way that I can ever come out. My parents have drilled into me that if I was like my neighbor Logan Mitchell, they would disown me and kick me out on the streets. I don't even like my girlfriend; she is just a cover. My girlfriend Jo, is the only person that knows I'm gay. She's all about abstinence and being pure for marriage. Our deal is that she pretends to be my girlfriend, to keep the other jocks away from her. I don't want my parents to ever question my sexuality, but sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be out and proud and to have a boyfriend. Even if I would have to face bullies, I could be myself and not worry about being kicked out. Life would be so much easier if I was my neighbor Logan Mitchell.
Another boring day of school. I feel like I'm always in an outer body experience. Every day I pretend to be something I'm not; just to fit in. I mean it's expected of me; being the captain of the hockey team, to be straight and have the cheerleading captain as my girlfriend. It's a strictly business relationship. We only go out because people believe we should. I feel like I'm losing my mind sometimes. There is no doubt that I would come out if I had accepting parents. But until I'm out of their house and am living under my own roof I can't do anything about how I feel. Right now Jo and I are planning what to do for are weekly fake date. Have to keep up with the Joneses or else everyone will realize that we have a fake relationship.
"What do you think we should do tonight?" Jo said while picking at her food in front of her.
"Maybe we could go see a movie or something." I answered, knowing we wouldn't have to be too couple oriented, if we were in the dark theatre.
"I guess so. That could be fun." she exclaimed, looking up to meet my eyes with a knowing look, on the reasoning behind my answer.
"So I'll swing by at 7 to pick you up." telling her now so she wouldn't keep him waiting like usual.
"Sounds good." she said right before the bell rang signaling the end of lunch period.
A/N: Thanks for taking the time to read this. This is my first story so I'm not sure how to write the tenses/pov's properly but I'm trying my best. I have many ideas, but I'm gonna try to stick to one story at a time for now. If you want to see some of my other ideas, it will be posted in my profile information. Next chapter will be at the movie theatre for both dates. This is the first time Kendall and Logan will speak to each other, even though they are neighbors. The switch will probably happen at the end of the next chapter. Also this chapter had the different POV's just to explain both of their backstories. From now on it will be in 3rd person's POV. If you want to see early drafts or hints/previews follow my tumblr, which is linked in my profile description. Thanks so much for reading this, and have a wonderful day.
