So here's the new and improved Under Oblivious Glances. I need to make this know that this is NOT a Kendall/James or Kames story. All of the guys are completely straight in this story. Just so you know. I have made this story even more Epic... -haha Emily :)- So i hope you all enjoy. Read on:

I did as I always did after school; going to the library where Katie met up with me before heading to the hockey rink to meet up with the guys. The only difference today was that Katie had stayed home sick.

I wrapped my arms around my small torso as I walked into the frigid hockey rink. I noticed that the guys were still out on the ice except for James, who was seated on the bench, unlacing his skates.

"Hey," I said as I plopped down beside him.

He looked up long enough to give me his signature goofy grin. "Hey, Jace."

"Why are you done already?" I asked, giving him a curious once over and trying to hide a grin. It was James, he was always doing stupid things to get him benched during practices and games.

He laughed lightly," Forgot my jock at home. Coach let me do drills, but I couldn't go up against anyone."

"Oh, Jay, aren't you smart?" I remarked, my trademark sarcasm dripping in my voice. "That's probably one of the most important parts of your gear."

He rolled his eyes at my 'teacher-like' tone and shook his head as he packed away his skates in his bag. "So how was your walk here?"

I sighed, frowning. "Lonely. I had no one to scheme out ingenious pranks with."

"Katie never gets sick. That girl's got an immune system of steel. I wonder what's wrong," he said as the rest of the team filed off of the ice. I had opened my mouth to reply when he randomly gasped out," What if she has swine flu?"

I gave him a blank look that clearly read 'Really, James. Really?' "She doesn't have swine flu, stupid. But I wish I knew what's wrong," I replied at the moment that our other three best friends joined us.

"Knew what?" Logan asked, picking up his hockey bag.

"What's wrong with Kates." I saw Kendall scrunch up his forehead and purse his lips. I understood how much it bothered him, Katie was like my little sister too. I'd been seriously close with their family since I could remember, my first memory was of me and Kendall pulling off the wall paper from the playpen by the wall.

The three guys mumbled their agreements before trudging tiredly into the locker room to change out of the bulky gear. As usual, it didn't take them long to change and within five minutes we were out of the rink and making our way back to Kendall and I's. Honestly, that was my home now, had been for the past 6 months.

It had just begun snowing snowing so we watched in amusement reserved for Carlos and Carlos only as he skipped ahead, trying to catch random snowflakes on his tongue. A short ten minutes later and I was frozen to the bone. I had decided to not wear a coat or hoodie today because it wasn't supposed to get this cold… Big Mistake. My teeth started chattering horribly and I could hardly walk straight due to the violent shivering being cold produced in my small body. Both James and Kendall, who I was walking in between, paused their conversation and wrapped an arm around each of my shoulder to help me warm up. We were attempting to walk like this and to the people passing by gave us strange looks. Honestly, we looked like we were trying to do a three-legged race with three people instead of two. I even had to admit that we were a sight; Carlos skipping ahead like a five year old, Logan with his nose in his latest book obsession, and me squished in between two much taller guys.

It didn't take long for us to get home and we busted through the door to get into the heat. James let go of me to crowd around the kitchen table but Kendall kept his arm around me long enough for him to grab his hoodie laying on the chair by the door. I smiled in thanks and pulled it on quickly, happy that for once I wasn't freezing. As we entered the kitchen, Mama Knight turned around to look directly at me.

"Jacie, can I talk to you for a minute?"

I nodded and she turned to Logan. "Can you stir this for me? Just make sure it doesn't boil over." He agreed and took up station at the stove while the other guys took their places at the table, deep in discussion.

I followed my legal guardian into the hallway, curious as to what was going on. She took a deep breath before explaining,"Katie started her period today. Can you talk to her? I'm not good with that sort of thing and I can't ask Kendall too..."

I smiled sympathetically, cutting off her rambling. "No problem. I don't mind."

"I'm glad I have you here. I do not know what I'd do without you, Jacie."

Standing outside of Katie's door, I could her softly sniffling. I cracked the door open and peaked in. "Knock, knock. Can I come in?"

She looked at me for a long moment before nodding, wiping away a few stray tears. I closed the door behind me and sat on the bed beside her.

"Your mom told me. Are you okay?"

She shrugged her shoudlers and sat up, swinging her legs over the edge. "I don't like this."

I snorted and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Baby girl, no one likes this. But just think this is the fastest change you'll go through. Everything else will change over time."

Katie smiled in relief. "I just... I feel really weird."

"It takes some getting used to, but it just becomes a natural part of your life after a while."

She gave me a hug as someone knocked on the door. "What!" she yelled, back to her old Katie-self.

Kendall opened the door cautiously. "Mom told me to tell you that dinner's ready so you can come down whenever you guys are ready."

I nodded and smiled. "Thanks, K. We'll be down in a minute."

After he left, Katie looked back at me with a panicked expression. "Don't worry, they can't tell unless you tell them."

She blew out a breath in relief and headed for the door before turning to me. "Don't tell anybody, please."

"I won't, Kates, I promise."

Did you like the new version? I changed some things, added a bit and took out a bit. I'll be putting up the next chapters soon. Reviews are important, remember that.
