Companion piece to I Like You. I suggest reading the other one first. It will help this one make more sense.
Phone vibrating from its place in Kendall's back pocket; the blonde heaved the long line of carts over before pausing.
"Hey James." Technically he wasn't supposed to be on his phone while at work.
"You got your schedule on you?" His friend always had a way of cutting to the chase when revved up and excited.
"Hang on." Glancing around, not seeing his manager, Kendall reached into another pocket and pulled out the folded white paper.
"I think I remember Logan's schedule, maybe you've got something with him too. He's super nervous about school." Racking his brain, Kendall could not put a face to the name Logan.
Before he could inquire about the new name, James was already launched into a tangent, discussing the classes he had with Carlos.
*BREAK*
"Yo, get up Big Brother." The short warning was quickly followed with a wallop to the side of Kendall's head. Katie may have only been eleven, but she had an arm on her. "You gotta walk me to school."
Clutching his wounded cranium, Kendall sent a glare out the door his sister exited from.
*BREAK*
Stepping onto school grounds, Kendall reached up, sliding his gray beanie from his head before an administrator could reprimand him. He didn't need a detention on the first day back.
Trudging down the familiar halls, Kendall spotted Carlos, hyper as ever and James, combing his hair of course, and this must be Logan.
"Waaazaaa?" Carlos' usual greeting assaulted Kendall's ears. Smiling at the greeting, Kendall claimed the saved locker before turning to get a better look at Logan.
"Hey, I'm Kendall." The other was silent for a moment before returning the smile and introducing himself.
"Ah, James' new neighbor." The other boy, Logan, looked quite pleased to hear Kendall say this.
*BREAK*
Fighting through the crowd, Carlos babbling away by his side, Kendall spotted a now familiar looking head. Pointing the boy out to the Latino, the two quickened their pace to catch up with the worried looking boy.
"Yo, Logan." Carlos' loud voice really came in handy. "You've got Spanish next too, right?"
Kendall definitely preferred to see Logan smiling. Tuning in to the conversation between the two shorter boys, Kendall took mercy on Logan. Carlos didn't always catch on to the obvious.
"Carlos, you already speak Spanish. Fluently." Carlos' explanation of a guaranteed easy A left the other two chuckling. Kendall definitely preferred to hear Logan laughing.
A side glance from Logan told Kendall the other was directing his next question to him. "Where're you headed?"
"Algebra. My worst subject." Face falling into a look of displeasure, Kendall waved goodbye and continued down the hall, glancing back to get one last look.
