I know I said I'd be focusing on "What I'm Living For", but this story had to be written. So What I'm Living For and this are my main focuses for now.
3rd Kames story and slight Cargan. :)
Loosely based off of the song "Bad" by The Cab. This chapter is long and choppy because I want to get to the point of this entire story by the second chapter. I assure you that it will get super exciting after this. That's a promise and I don't break promises.
This is gonna be ridiculously dirty. Just saying. Starting in the second chapter though.

(A/N: Kendall's POV)
Moving from the cold, icy weather of Minnesota to the warm, sunny weather of California is already pretty weird. Going into a school with an actual, super friendly welcoming committee is even weirder.
I was a Junior in high school and now I was officially attending Palm Woods high. The kids here were talented in sports, music, acting, pretty much everything. You name it.
I took a deep breath and walked through the doors of the scary looking high school.
Almost immediately, I was welcome by a short, smiling Latino boy and another boy who was a little taller with a paler complexion.
"Hi!" The Latino one exclaimed.
"H-Hi." I said, unsurely.
"I'm Carlos," he said. "This is Logan." The other boy smiled and waved. "Are you excited to be attending this school?"
"Nervous." I shrugged.
Logan smiled. "Don't be nervous." Carlos nodded in agreement.
"Everyone's nice here. Just don't be too... weird." Carlos raised an eyebrow. I laughed.
"I'll try."
Carlos smiled and we headed into the tour. Logan showed me the cafeteria and where to get lunch, unless I planned on going out to lunch.
Carlos showed me the hall of fame. In the hall of fame, there were multiple good looking singers and sporty people.
"This is Jo Taylor," He showed me a pretty blonde girl, smiling for the camera. "She's super good at singing."
He moved farther down the hall. "This is Camille Roberts." Another smiling, pretty girl. She was brunette though. "Best actress at this school."
Further down the hall, we finally got to sports. It was currently football season.
"This is James Diamond." He pointed to an extremely good looking brunette boy. He looked strong and tall. "He's our star quarterback. And he's super religious."
Sometimes I question my sexuality when I see an attractive dude, but right now I couldn't even comprehend whether or not I was completely gay or not.
"W-what grade is he in?" I asked Carlos. Logan just chuckled. Before Carlos could answer, I turned to Logan. "What's so funny?"
"You're either super threatened by him or completely shocked by how good looking he is. Happens to every new kid here." Logan shrugged. I raised an eyebrow and looked at the picture of the good looking James.
"He's not even that amazing looking." I lied. Logan just laughed again.
"Um... He's a junior!" Carlos randomly says. I nod.
"Nice. Well, shall we move on?" I ask. Carlos and Logan look at each other before nodding and moving on.
The next day, I actually got to go to my classes. Luckily, Carlos was in five out of my eight classes, so I had a friend.
First block science was about to begin in five minutes as a bunch of other kids entered the classroom. Carlos automatically looked a little shy, which was surprising. He was usually smiley and happy and loud, from what I knew about him.
I saw a big guy enter. Girls automatically swarmed around him when he entered, getting overly excited by his presence.
"Who's that?" I ask Carlos. Carlos looks up.
"J-Jett Stetson." Carlos says nervously.
Jett stops smiling at the pretty girls around him and looks over my way. He walks over to Carlos' and my table.
"Hey queer," Jett says meanly to the small Latino boy. "Who's this kid?"
"I'm Kendall Knight. Who the fuck are you?" I ask. I wasn't usually a trouble maker. I usually wasn't loud at all, but Carlos had been nice to the new kid so I wouldn't let this douche walk all over him.
The class got silent as everyone was watching us.
Jett raised an eyebrow. "Jett Stetson."
"Nice to meet you. I can already tell you're an asshole." I smiled my best sarcastic smile.
Jett scoffed. "Standing up for this little fag, I see?" He pointed to Carlos.
"Well, I don't know if he's gay or not... But who cares if he is? Don't call people fags as an insult." I reply harshly.
"Who's gonna stop me?" Jett was getting closer to me. Thats when the bell rang.
Everyone sat down, including Jett. I took my seat.
"Hello class." Our teacher walked in. "As you all may have noticed, we have a new student, blah blah blah." Our teacher said unenthusiastically.
"I'm Mr. Bitters, welcome to science class, Kendall." He sighed and took a seat. "Now do whatever."
The students automatically started gossiping, chatting, whatever.
"What the fuck is this?" I asked Carlos.
Carlos laughed. "I actually do my work in here... Along with James over there."
James? I looked to where Carlos pointed. That's when I saw them.
Was it possible for him to be even more gorgeous than he was in the picture? He was literally glowing. From his shaggy brown hair to his rosy cheeks, flawless smile, all the way down to his long legs, he was flawless.
"Kendall? KENDALL?" Carlos waved his hand in front of my face.
"S-sorry." I laughed. Carlos smiled.
"Well yeah, that's James. He's usually my lab partner cause we actually work but I'm sure we can be a lab trio. Let's go talk to him."
I followed Carlos up as we walked towards James. My stomach started to ache more and more with each step I took towards him.
Finally, we were in front of this god-like creature.
"James?" Carlos asked.
"Hey Carlos! And who's this?" He asked politely.
"I'm Kendall... Nice to meet you." I smiled. James smiled back.
"Nice to meet you too. I saw how you stood up for Carlos over there. It was awesome. Strangely, Jett is one of my best friends but I can never tell him to knock it off because he doesn't listen to me." James shrugged.
I laughed. "It was nothing."
James and I just smiled and made eye contact for a long time.
"Um..." Carlos said nervously.
"S-sorry!" James and I both exclaimed at the same time.
We worked on the lab we were supposed to do as Carlos kept giving me glances, as if he was asking a question.
After class, James said bye to Carlos and me and headed into the hallways. He was already swarmed with other good looking people.
Carlos laughed. "What was that about?"
"What?"
"You and James." He smiled and raised an eyebrow.
"N-nothing. I'm not gay and I doubt he is either."
"Whatever, dude." Carlos shrugged.
The rest of the week went by pretty quickly and smoothly. I got a couple dirty looks from Jett at lunch, but that was it.
On Friday, I went to my locker and got my backpack full of the textbooks I had gotten this week. First day and I already had homework.
While I was exiting the school, I heard a familiar voice call my name.
"Kendall!" James called out. James and I had been talking a lot in class and I learned a lot about him. He was very religious, loved football, got good grades, and he was definitley straight... Or so he seemed.
I turned around and smiled. "Hi."
James smiled once he was finally caught up with me. "I never got your number, bro!"
"Oh, right." I gave him my number.
"Cool. I'll text you later, maybe we can hang out this weekend?"
"Yeah, that'd be great!"
"Alright. See ya later." He waved and walked into the parking lot, dissappearing.
I sighed. I really was doubting I was straight now.
Later that night, James texted me. We talked about school, sports, life in general.
The conversation was coming to a close and I didn't want it to, so I decided to ask him about his religion. He was Jewish.
He was telling me about it and I honestly did think it was interesting.
So, I texted him back, "That's pretty cool!"
His reply? "Eh, not really."
"Haha, what do you mean?" I replied.
"I don't know, it almost forces me to be too good somtimes, you know? I wanna be bad."
"Well, be bad!"
"I have no one else to be bad with! Be bad with me Kendall ;)"
Jokingly, I replied, "Haha sure thing James!"
"Cool, meet me by the school tomorrow at 6 PM so we can be...bad. I'm going to bed. Sleep well Kendall ;)"
I was shocked, confused, and a little aroused. I don't know what strange part of me took over when I typed up my reply.
"See ya tomorrow."
Okay, so next chapter will be way better. Promise! Hope you liked this anyways :)
