Logan stood in his doorway feigning a smile. Kendall stood in front of him with a real smile. "So, do you?" Kendall asked.
"Uh . . . let me go ask my mom," Logan said. "Come in." Kendall obliged and followed Logan into his kitchen. "Hi Mom, uh . . . I have something to ask you."
"What is it Hun?" Mrs. Mitchell asked.
"Kendall invited me to Six Flags St. Louis . . . ," Mrs. Mitchell looked at her son confused, but he gave her a pleading look. "When are you guys going Kendall?" She asked, understanding what her son was asking.
"This weekend. I already asked James and Carlos if they could come and they said yes!" Kendall was radiating excitement.
"If it's ok with your mom, then Logan can come too," Mrs. Mitchell said, smiling at the two boys in front of her.
"Thank you so much!" Kendall said.
"Any time, Sweetie." Mrs. Mitchell laughed at Kendall.
"I gotta go, see ya' Logan," Kendall said practically skipping out of the house.
"Bye," Logan said with a sigh.
"Are you ok, Hun?" Logan's mom asked him.
"No! What if they find out? What if they make fun of me and then they don't want to be my friends anymore," Logan said, always going to the worst case scenario.
"Honey, they wont do that, they're your best friends. They'll understand," Mrs. Mitchell said.
Logan sighed. "Yeah, yeah, I know." He walked into his bedroom. What was he going to do?
BTR
Saturday came to quickly. Logan didn't understand why he said yes to going. He was eleven years old, he shouldn't be having the issue he was in. He sighed and finished putting his jacket on. He was ready to go. Sadly.
Logan walked down the stairs and went into the living room. He sat down next to his mom and waited for Kendall to pick him up.
"Hun, you can still say no if you want. Or, you could tell them the truth," Mrs. Mitchell said.
"No!" Logan said, barley letting his mom finish her sentence
"Honey, I don't see why this is such a big deal to you. Just tell them that your-"
"Please don't say it," Logan pleaded.
Just then, the door bell rang. Logan tensed. He was seriously second guessing his decision. Logan got up and opened the door, faking excitement.
"Come on lets go, hurry!" Kendall said, pulling Logan out the door.
"Bye Mom and Dad!" Logan called, letting fear come into his eyes one last time.
"We still have to pick up Carlos. We have to hurry so we can get there fast!" Kendall said, shoving Logan into the car.
"I can see your not excited." Logan said, being his normal sarcastic self.
"Step on it Mom!" Kendall said, ignoring Logan.
James was in the car, seeming just as excited as Kendall. He had a map of the park from a previous visit there. "We're going on this one last, so we can save the best for last!" It was a rollercoaster from the theme park. The tallest one there. Also the scariest. It was called MR. FREEZE.
"Ok!" Logan said, trying to radiate as much excitement as the other two boys in the car. He looked at the rest of the map. There was a water park right next to the theme park. There was a ton of rides.
"We're not going to the water park. It kind of sucks," Kendall said, directing the last part to Ms. Knight.
"Hey, be happy we're going. We don't need to go to St. Louis." Mama Knight countered.
"It's ok," Logan said.
They pulled up to Carlos' house. Kendall rushed out and got the boy as quick as possible.
"Are you scared?" Logan asked.
James looked confused. "Why would I be scared?" James asked.
"Ok, maybe I used the wrong term. Are you nervous?" Logan rephrased.
"Uh, again, no." James looked at Logan, still confused. "Why . . . are you?" Logan was about to come right out and tell the truth, but then images of what James might say came to his mind.
"No . . . no of course not," Logan said with a nervous laugh. James didn't look completely convinced, but he let it be.
Kendall opened the door then, and shoved Carlos into the car. He closed the door and they drove away. "Finally! Mom hurry, so we can get there fast!"
"Kendall calm down, we'll get there in good time. All in good time," Mama Knight said with a smile at her sons excitement.
"I can't wait to get there! I can't wait to get there! I wanna go on MR. FREEZE! I wanna go on it first! It's the biggest and scariest ride there!" Carlos rambled, jumping up and down in his seat. Logan didn't think it was possible, but he thought Carlos was more excited than Kendall. Carlos still held the spot for most rambunctious.
"What do you want to go on first, James?" Kendall asked.
"I'm not sure. But I do know I want to save the best for last, which would be MR. FREEZE!" James said glaring at Carlos.
"No, MR. FREEZE first!"
"Guys! Let's take a vote. Who wants to go on MR. FREEZE first?" Kendall asked. Only Carlos raised his hand. "Then it's settled, MR. FREEZE is last." Carlos pouted and crossed his arms.
Logan was really not looking forward to this. He was shaking, he was that scared. He tried to hide it though by pushing his hands into his sleeves, which wasn't to hard considering the jacket was a little big anyway.
After about an hour on the road, they ran into there first problem. "I have to pee!" Carlos whined.
"Well, I'll pull over when I see a gas station sign. How many of you need to pee?" Mama Knight asked. All four boys raised there hands. Ms. Knight shook her head with a smile. Classic.
Going to the bathroom and getting back on the road as fast as possible didn't fair to be as easy as originally thought.
Flashback
"Hurry!" Kendall said as they ran into the bathroom. They all took separate urinals and did there business. Someone said something funny and Carlos nudged Logan. Logan had been finishing up and pee got all over his pants. Now it looked like he had peed them.
"It looks like you peed you pants!" Carlos said laughing.
"I'm not leaving until my pants are dry!" Logan said, face bright red.
"Actually, technically, Logan did pee his pants," Kendall said. "I mean yeah, it may not have been in the traditional way. But it was his pee and its on his pants."
"Shut up!" Logan said, face getting an even darker shade of red.
Mama Knight came in then. "Logan, we have to go."
"No."
"Huh, fine, I'll carry you like a baby, then know one will see."
"That's even worse!"
"Well then walk," Mrs. Knight said patiently. Finally they got Logan to agree to walk out to the car. He more like ran, but either way, they got to the car.
End flashback
They were now in the car, singing to the radio on the road again. And soon Six Flags St. Louis was in view. Logan stared at it, feeling like he needed to go to the bathroom again. He was not looking forward to this wonderful theme park trip.
