Kendall, Logan, Carlos, and James were best friends up until James moved in 2nd grade. Now it's been 10 years and James is back. But completely different than the way he was before. Can Kendall break through his shell and get the old James back? Or will he have to fall in love all over again?

The Day Of The Move:

"James, why do you have to go?We're gonna miss you!" Kendall said, hugging one of his best friends tight.

"My dad is making me go Kenny... He got a new job. But I'll write you guys everyday okay?" Kendall nodded and pulled back so Logan and Carlos could give him a hug. "I have to go now.. I love you guys!" He waved and then ran off towards his dads car. When the boys saw him driving away, they all hugged each other but it felt different without James. 'Everything will be so different.' Kendall thought.

Present Day:

Kendall walked through the halls of Palm Woods High looking for his best friends. It was the first day of their junior year and they were determined to make it one of the best years ever. He finally found them sitting by the fountain and walked over.

"Hey guys! We're juniors now! Upperclassmen! YAY!" Carlos said, bouncing around.

"If you're not careful you're gonna fall in Carlos. We don't need you getting all wet on the first day." Logan said, not looking up from his book. Carlos snatched the book from the other older boy and shut it on him. "Carlos!"

"Kendall is here. We have to go to class now." Carlos stood up, Logan's book in hand, and walked over to Kendall. "Come on you guys!" He smiled and ran inside the building. Logan walked over to Kendall, shaking his head.

"Why do we put up with him Kendall?" Kendall threw an arm around Logan as they walked inside.

"Because we love him Logan. Well, you more than me." He winked then laughed when Logan shoved him away. "It's true!"

"I know it is but you don't need to announce it to the whole world!" Logan whisper-yelled. Kendall smiled and walked over to his locker. He put the combination in and opened it, setting his books in. "So.. Have you told anyone? About what you told me?" Kendall sighed and shook his head.

"My parents are already fighting a lot.. I don't need to give them another reason to fight." He shut the locker and looked at Logan. "I know you think I should but I can't. I'll be the reason they divorce officially." They walked to their first class together and sat down in the back. Mr. Rocque was known as the meanest yet coolest teacher for the juniors.

"Good morning new students! How is everyone this morning?!" They all groaned and some cheered. "Okay, I know most of you but we have a new student who just recently moved here. His name is James Diamond." Kendall's head snapped up and he looked at him. James looked so different than he used to. He was dressed in black from head to toe, and he had black eyeliner on. "James, why don't you tell us where you're moving from." James shrugged and picked at his finger nails. Which were painted black as well.

"California." He was looking down at his feet, obviously waiting to sit back down. "I moved from here actually. Then came back. Dad's work. Can I sit down now?"

"Of course. Have a seat where you would like." James walked to the back corner of the room and sat down. Kendall looked over at Logan and mouthed.

"Is that really James?" Logan nodded and smiled. Kendall looked over at James, who was drawing on the desk with a black sharpie, and smiled a little.

~Lunch Time~

James was standing in line, waiting to get his lunch, when someone tapped on his shoulder. He turned around to see a girl with black hair and red streaks smiling at him.

"So, I guess I'm not the only "rocker" here at the Palm Woods anymore. I'm Lucy. Lucy Stone. You are?" James smiled a little.

"I'm James. It's nice to see someone a little like me." Lucy laughed and shoved him forward in line.

"Try the mac and cheese. It's the best food that they have here." He chuckled and grabbed a container filled with it. "Do you like it here so far?" He shrugged and grabbed a soda.

"I don't really remember anyone here. I vaguely remember the three best friends I had before I left like, ten years ago. We wrote to each other for the longest time but it just fizzled out around 5th grade. I guess we all moved on." He paid for his food and walked to a table with Lucy.

"Do you remember any of their names? Maybe they're still here." She took a bite of her mac and cheese and leaned back.

"I remember one. His name was Kendall Knight." James smiled and chuckled a little. "I was the closest to him out of all of them, but now we don't even talk." He looked at Lucy who had an 'aww' look on her face. He quickly cleared his throat. "I doubt he even remembers who I am. That's why I'm better off alone.. That's how it was in California. I didn't have many friends so I became alone. It was so much different there than it was here.. I HATED my dad for making me move from here. I loved it because everyone loved me the way I was. When we got to LA it all changed. I had no friends because everyone had already gotten into their little cliques. Freshman year was a little different though."

"What happened?" Lucy asked, leaning forward. She didn't have many friends either so she was hoping that her and James could become friends.

"I had a crush on one of the popular guys in school. Jett Stetson. He was a nice guy when no one was around me but when he was with his friends, it was different. So.. We ended up having a secret relationship and it lasted for almost a year. I thought he loved me so I finally gave in and let him take my.. You know. The next day I found him making out with the school slut. He pulled me aside and thanked me for finally letting him fuck me and he left me standing there. I was completely pissed and I really wanted to hit him but I didn't. Eventually my dad told me we were moving back to Minnesota. I was so excited but I've changed so much, I don't think anyone would recognize me anymore." Lucy rubbed his back and smiled a little.

"I'm glad you trust me this much. I didn't think you would open up to me that much." James smiled and looked at her.

"I guess we're alike and that's why I trust you that much." James felt someone tap on his shoulder and he turned around, his eyes going wide.

"Hi. Do you remember me? I'm Kendall Knight." James didn't say anything, just sat there silent. "We were best buds in 2nd grade? Hung out with Carlos Garcia and Logan Mitchell?" James looked down quickly, trying to hide the fact that he was blushing lightly. "Um.. Well, if you do end up remembering us, you should text me and we should hang out. Lucy has my number, she can give it to you. I really hope to hear from you James." He smiled and walked back over to his table.

"James, what was that?" Lucy asked.

" I got nervous.. I've liked him since we were little." Lucy giggled and hugged him.

"We've gotta hook you up!" James looked at her.

"No way. He's straight. I know it." Lucy shrugged and smiled.

"What did he say?" Carlos asked, eating a corn dog.

"Nothing actually. He stayed quiet and looked down. I'm hoping Lucy will give him my number." Kendall said, dunking an onion ring into Logan's barbecue sauce.

"We're gonna be the best of friends again! I can't wait!" Carlos said, hugging Logan's side. Kendall looked over at James and sighed quietly.

"I sure do hope so."
