Ok so this is written for, Rhett9.
Request: a Kogan one shot set with them in high school (With Logan and Kendall as Sophomores) They have been going to the same school for years but never acknowledge each other (but they admired from a far) until something brings them together.
Breaking the Status Quo
Chapter 1: Stick to the Status Quo
Logan Mitchell sighed as he sat down at his usual lunch table with his best friends Camille Roberts, Dak Zevon, and Lucy Stone.
"Uh oh," Camille said.
"I know that sigh," Lucy said.
"It's the I just saw Kendall Knight sigh," Dak said laughing.
"Guys this isn't funny," Logan said dropping his head on to the table in front of him. He was going through something really important and all his friends could do was make fun of him and his unhealthy obsession with Kendall Knight the popular jock of the school. It's not that he obsessed with Kendall in a stalkerish way, it's just he had a crush on the guy. How could he not though. Kendall was gorgeous.
"I'm sorry Logan, but it's get old hearing you talk about Kendall," Camille said, "I mean it's been the same ever since we hit the seventh grade and you realized you were gay," she said.
"It's always Kendall this, or Kendall that," Dak said waving his hand.
"It gets old," Lucy said.
"Well I am sorry, but I don't know what to do," Logan said, "I've tried getting over him, but nothing I do works," he said lifting his head to look at his so called best friends. Logan had known them all different lengths of time but it was like he had known them his whole life.
Logan had known Camille since they were babies. Their mothers had been best friends and forced them to be best friends. Camille could be a little over dramatic, and she was the complete opposite of Logan and that was why they worked so well together. Camille and Logan also both liked acting and singing. Logan had met Dak in second grade when Dak moved here. They had to share a box of crayons and had been friends ever since. Dak and Logan were alike in almost every way. They had even came out together. Dak was bisexual, but still admitted it with Logan. Dak and Logan's relationship changed a little when Logan's mother started dating Dak's father. They were excited to become brothers, but Logan didn't like that his mother was replacing his father. He got over it and accepted Dak's father in his life but refused to go by Zevon. Logan met Lucy two years ago when they took the same classes in eighth grade. Logan and Lucy got along great and she was the other perfect opposite for him. They all got along great. The one thing they all bonded over was theater. They were all in almost every musical and play the school put on.
"Look, Logan there is one simple thing that will end all you're pain and misery," Dak said.
"Yes one thing," Lucy said nodding her head.
"What?" Logan asked looking at them.
"Talk to him," Camille said for them. Logan looked to the drama queen beside him.
"Are you nuts?" Logan asked, "he'll reject me for sure," he said sneaking a glance across the cafeteria at said blonde. Kendall Knight had been Logan's crush since seventh grade. Logan didn't know what it was about him. He had never even really talked to him. Sure, they had had classes together, but they never talked. Kendall was in a different crowd than Logan. Logan was a drama nerd and Kendall was a popular jock.
"Yeah, and if he does then maybe you can move on with you're life," Lucy said.
"I am doing just fine thank you," Logan said sticking his tongue out at her. Lucy laughed and shook her head.
"Hey, the school's musical is coming up," Camille said suddenly, "it's gonna be a play written by a student, she even composed the songs," she added.
"Cool," Dak said.
"I know, auditions are later this week," Camille said excitedly, "I told Mr. Rocque we would help with set design and all that," she said.
"Like always," Logan said.
"When do we start the sets?" Lucy asked.
"We start after school," Camille said.
"Great," Logan said, "it'll be fun," he said. Dak and Lucy nodded their heads in agreement. Suddenly there was a shout from behind them. They all turned to see what was going on.
-Big-Time-Rush-
Kendall Knight followed his friends, James Diamond and Carlos Garcia into the cafeteria. They were all laughing and having a good time. They were excited about their upcoming hockey game. They were just two wins away form going to state.
"I can't believe we're so close to going to state," Carlos said jumping up and down.
"Carlos calm down," James said, "you look like a retard," he added.
"You like an idiot," Carlos retorted.
"You're both morons," Kendall said smacking them both upside the head. They both turned to glare at the blonde when Kendall's gaze turned to a certain someone. Sitting across the cafeteria was Logan Mitchell. Kendall followed James and Carlos to get his lunch, but his eyes kept wandering over to Logan.
"Oh my god could you be more obvious?" James asked as they sat down at their usual lunch table together.
"Huh?" Kendall asked looking over at James.
"He doesn't even notice he stares does he?" Carlos asked James.
"I stare at what?" Kendall asked confused.
"Not a what, a who," James said, "and a certain theater nerd," he added grinning.
"Don't call him that," Kendall said catching on to who James was talking about. He did not like when Carlos and James made fun of Logan like that.
"Oh come on Kendall," James said, "the kid is a geek I don't get what you see in him. I mean sure he looks good, but so does that Zevon kid and that Roberts girl but you don't see me going after them," he said. It was common knowledge that James was bisexual. He claimed it was because he was too pretty to keep to just girls. James had dated his fair share of guys though.
"You won't go after Dak because he hates you," Kendall said.
"Hw hates me because I won't go out with him because he's a nerd," James said.
"Yeah, I have to agree with James, we don't mingle with them," Carlos said, "He is not like us," he said.
"So," Kendall said. He hated when they did this to him. He didn't care that Logan wasn't a jock like him. He wanted to gather up the courage to talk to him, but he never could. He had been watching Logan since eighth grade. He was a sophomore now and he wanted to do something about it.
"Kendall just forget it," James said poking Kendall in the shoulder. "He's never gonna wanna date a jock," he said.
"How do you know?" Kendall asked pushing James' shoulder.
"Because I just do," James said pushing Kendall. "He's a theater kid, and you're a jock sure to become the youngest MVP in the history of this school, and next years team captain," James said.
"Yeah, Kendall you two wouldn't work," Carlos said.
"How do you know? You don't even know him," Kendall said angrily.
"You don't even know him," James pointed out.
"I would if I had the confidence to actually talk to him," Kendall said as he looked at James and Carlos. "But you see, I have these two friends who tear down my confidence," he said.
"We don't tear down you're confidence," James said shaking his head. Carlos nodded his head in agreement.
"Bull shit," Kendall said, "what have you been telling me this whole conversation," he asked annoyed.
"Kendall, we are just trying to save you from committing social suicide," James said leaning closer to Kendall.
"Well I don't need you're help Diamond," Kendall said pushing James away from him. "If you were really my friends you would support me no matter what I chose to do," he said annoyed.
"We are you're friends, right Carlitos" James said, "and don't push me," he said pushing Kendall back.
"Guys stop," Carlos said. He knew that when they got mad they usually ended up hitting one another.
"Don't tell me what to do Diamond," Kendall said annoyed.
"Then don't give me a reason to Knight," James said. Carlos sighed and moved away from them. He knew when they started to use each other's last names they usually got into a fight.
"Look, I am just looking out for you," James said standing up.
"I don't need you're help," Kendall said standing up. "I am gonna do what I want and there is nothing you can do to stop me," Kendall said. Carlos hid his face in his hands. The two were making a scene. He did not want to be a part of this. Carlos didn't see who threw the first punch but he knew it was bound to happen. Everyone in the lunch room was watching now. Carlos looked up in time to see Kendall pushed James into a table. Logan and his friends were standing up from said table. Carlos sighed, it was time to break this up. He ran over to the two.
"Guys cut it out," he said trying to get close to them without getting hit. He knew it was useless, but he didn't want them getting mad that he didn't even bother to stop them. Kendall and James had an odd friendship. They were buddy buddy one second and the next they would be beating the crap out of each other, but they always forgave each other and started the whole thing all over again. Carlos managed to get a hold of James and pulled him away form Kendall. James struggled and Carlos stumbled sideways into someone. There was two yelps followed by a teacher yelling.
"Everybody freeze," the voice said. It was the principal Arthur Griffin. Carlos and James both looked up from the ground with the people they knocked over. Carlos noticed it Logan Mitchell and his best friend Dak Zevon.
"Knight, Diamond, Garcia, Mitchell, Zevon to my office now," Griffin barked.
"We didn't do anything," Dak said jumping up, "those two oafs fell on us," he said. He helped Logan to his feet.
"The five of you to my office now," Griffin said. The five then made their way out of the cafeteria and to Griffin's office. They all passed the secretary and sat down in the chairs in front of the desk. Dak sat on one end, Logan sat next to him and Kendall sat on his other side and James sat on his other side. Carlos sat on the other end. Griffin walked in behind them. "Explain," Griffin said.
"James said something and got me mad and he pushed me so I pushed him back," Kendall said.
"Yeah I was just trying to beat the crap out of Kendall for being stupid," James said.
"Yeah I was beating the crap out of James because he's the real idiot here," Kendall said looking to Carlos for some help.
"From the looks of it Kendall was beating the crap out of James," Logan said.
"I have to agree with Logan," Dak said, "it really looked like Kendall was winning," he said leaning forward to look at James.
"Shut it you two no one asked for you're opinions," James said.
"What's the matter Diamond can't accept the fact that you were losing," Dak asked.
"I wasn't losing," James said his anger flaring. "You're only saying that because you hate me," he said.
"Details, details," Dak said waving his hand. Logan laughed and covered his mouth. Kendall was grinning. No one had ever spoken to James like that besides him and Carlos. It was about time someone else did.
"Dak knock it off," Logan said annoyed.
"Enough," Griffin said cutting in. He looked to Carlos. "What happened?" he asked.
"Kendall and James started fighting and I tried to stop them," Carlos said, "but you know how they get," he said looking at Griffin. Griffin did know. It was not unusual for Kendall and James to be here because of a fight between them.
"Look sir, Logan and I had nothing to do with the fight, we were in the wrong place at the wrong time," Dak said. Logan nodded his head in agreement.
"We were actually trying to get out of the way," Logan said.
"I don't know about that, I saw you four on the floor and you," Griffin said pointing to Carlos, "trying to get in," he said.
"I was trying to stop Kendall and James from fighting," Carlos said defensively. "And Dak is right he and Logan were in the wrong place at the wrong time," he said.
"Dak, Logan you two may go then," Griffin said. Dak and Logan jumped up and all but ran from the room.
"What's our punishment?" Kendall asked.
"Am I in trouble?" Carlos asked, "I was really trying to stop them," he said.
"No," Griffin said, "but you two, Mr. Rocque is looking for help with his set designs for the upcoming musical," he said.
"No," James said.
"It's either that or you get suspended," Griffin said crossing his arms over his chest.
"So, how long are we talking about suspension," James said.
"James we can't get suspended, they need us for hockey," Kendall said, "how long do we have to help with the set design?" Kendall asked.
"Two weeks," Griffin said. The two nodded and left his office with Carlos.
-Big-Time-Rush-
Logan and Dak followed Lucy and Camille into the auditorium. They hadn't had auditions for the musical yet, but the sets needed to be started as soon as possible. Logan led the way up to the stage and the four noticed Mr. Rocque was probably running late. They then proceeded to run up onto the stage.
"I can see it now," Camille said as she walked to the center of the stage, "me center stage in the lead female role," she said.
"Nah you got it all wrong," Lucy said, "I'm getting the lead role," she said.
"Step aside ladies we all know there is only one person with talent here," Dak said pushing them aside.
"Yeah me," Logan said cutting Dak off and pushing him aside. He stood proudly in the center of the stage. "I can sing, I can dance, I can rap, and I can act," he said.
"Talk about not letting it go to his head," Dak said to Lucy and Camille.
"I heard that," Logan said turning his head to look at Dak, "you're just jealous that I got the lead role last semester," he said.
"I can't sing as good as you and for some odd reason Mr. R likes you better than me," Dak said.
"Did you not just hear my reasons," Logan asked.
"All I heard was you being a conceited know it all," Dak said grinning.
"Ok ladies retract the claws," Lucy said stepping in between them. The door opened and two people Logan did not expect to see walked in. Kendall and James both stopped and looked at them.
"The locker room is down the hall," Dak said, "incase you're lost," he added cheekily.
"We're not lost," James said, "this is our punishment," he said as he walked down the isle.
"Great something we take pleasure in is a punishment for them," Dak muttered to Logan who laughed and quickly covered his mouth his cheeks turning red.
"Don't tell me you guys are here of your own will," James said.
"Yes James, unlike you and you're idiot friend we enjoy the arts and this is what we do. Your on our turf now," Dak said as he walked to the edge of the stage. He jumped down and walked over to him. "And I'll be damned if I let you two morons ruin this for us," he said.
"Look I am only here so I didn't get suspended," James said. Logan jumped down from the stage and walked up to Dak. He knew Dak hated James for some reason. He didn't want them starting a fight right now.
"Dak they're here to help, even if their being forced," Logan said looking at Kendall. "Now just play nice and they'll be out of here soon enough," he said.
"We're stuck here for two weeks," James said.
"We'll help in anyway we can," Kendall said, "sorry if James seems bitter he's just an idiot," he said. Logan laughed and nodded his head. He walked back up onto the stage and dropped his bag to the ground as their teacher Gustavo Rocque walked in with a few other students behind him.
"Ok, it's time to get to work," Gustavo said. He set about giving instructions to the students. Kendall, Logan, James, Dak, Camille, and Lucy were assigned to make some trees. Logan and Camille got the papier-mâché things ready, while James, Dak, Lucy, and Kendall got the chicken wire shaped like tree trunks. Soon enough they were papier-mâchéing the wire. Kendall and Logan were working together on a tree.
"So, why are you and James here?" Logan asked.
"It was either this or suspension," Kendall said, "and the hockey team needs us, so we can't get suspended right now," he said.
"So you're being forced," Logan asked as he stopped to watch Kendall.
"Yeah, but I don't mind," Kendall said as he started to put sheets of paper on in random directions.
"I am sorry, but you're doing that wrong," Logan said biting his lip. He hated when things weren't perfect. He had to have things done a certain way. "I am sorry, but you have to put the paper facing the same direction," Logan said showing Kendall what he meant. Kendall nodded his head. "I am sorry, but it just looks smoother if you do it that way," Logan said. They continued to work in silence.
"Kendall can I ask you a question," Logan said after awhile.
"What?" Kendall asked.
"You and James are best friends yet you fight constantly," Logan said, "why?" he asked.
"James and I are so different and that's why we work well together, but that is also our downfall," Kendall said, "I honestly don't know what make our friendship work," he said.
"Dak and I never fight like that," Logan said.
"No offense but you and Dak aren't like me and James," Kendall said, "James and I have a very weird friendship," he said.
"I can see that," Logan said. He moved to another spot around the tree.
"James is like my brother though, I can call him an idiot but when someone else does it I have to defend him," Kendall said.
"I know," Logan said, "that's how it is with Dak and I, we can call each other names but when other people do it we get mad," he said smiling. Logan hadn't really talked to Kendall like this before. They had been in the same class all these years but they hardly said two words to one another, and now they were having an actual conversation.
"I swear to god you are useless," Dak yelled. Logan and Kendall turned their attention to Dak and James who were across the stage working on another tree. Dak had the papier-mâché glue spilled on him and James had some on his shirt.
"I am not useless you just got in the way Zevon," James said.
"I was not in the way," Dak said.
"That's my cue," Logan said standing up. Kendall did as well. They both walked over to Dak and James.
"Ok, I think it's getting late and it's time to go home," Logan said grabbing Dak's arm.
"Yeah, we can pick up tomorrow," Gustavo said. Everyone cleaned up and left. Logan walked out to his car. He couldn't stop thinking about the conversation he had had with Kendall. That was the first time that they had really talked. Logan stopped by his car and waited for Dak. Dak walked out of the school with Camille and Lucy.
"Logan why didn't you wait for us?" Camille asked.
"I didn't realize you weren't with me," Logan admitted.
"He was probably thinking about Kendall," Dak teased, "Did you see the way they were flirting," he said.
"We weren't flirting," Logan said, "we were talking," he said.
"Sure," Dak said.
"About what?" Camille asked.
"Just stuff," Logan said shrugging. "Come on Dak let's get going," Logan said. He got into his car and Dak followed him. Logan drove home in silence.
-Big-Time-Rush-
Kendall drove James and then drove to his house. He yawned as he walked up the front porch. He and James had missed hockey practice and their coach was going to kill them tomorrow. They would have to work something out with Mr. Rocque. Kendall walked into the house and was stopped by his eleven year old sister Katie.
"Carlos called and wanted to know why you and James weren't at practice," Katie said.
"We got caught up in detention," Kendall said.
"Detention?" Jennifer asked from down the hallway.
"Yeah, we got into another fight again," Kendall said as he walked down the hall to the living room where Jennifer was sitting. "I won," he added grinning.
"Kendall, how many times do I have to tell you," Jennifer began.
"I know, I know, but James is such an idiot sometimes," Kendall said shaking his head. "He and Carlos were beating me down again about my liking this one guy who's in a different circle than us," he said.
"Logan?" Katie asked.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to listen in on my phone calls or read me text messages," Kendall said annoyed as he turned to look at his little sister.
"Well, I wouldn't do it if you just talk to me and mom about your problems," Katie said sticking her tongue out at him.
"You're my little sister, I don't have to tell you my problems," Kendall said.
"I'm more mature than you, James, and Carlos put together," Katie said cheekily. Kendall only stuck his tongue out at her. She was probably right on some levels, but he was no going to tell her about his lack of relationship with the boy he had been crushing on for almost three years.
"That may be so baby sister, but you'll always be my baby sister and I am not gonna talk to you about this," Kendall said ruffling Katie's hair. "I'm gonna go call Carlos and see home much trouble James and I are in with coach," he said.
"Kay," Jennifer said. Kendall said good bye and left his mother and sister. He walked upstairs to his bedroom and pulled his cell phone from his pocket. He dialed Carlos' number.
"Hello," Carlos said.
"Hey Carlitos," Kendall said, "I just got home," he said.
"Dude, where were you and James?" Carlos asked.
"We got held up in detention, with Mr. Rocque," Kendall said, "I hope Coach wasn't too mad," he said.
"He was furious, but if you can get him to listen maybe he won't make you guys sit out the next game," Carlos said.
"I hope he doesn't make us sit out," Kendall said, "we'll lose and we can't afford to lose right now," he said.
"I know, so you two better be ready for some ass kissing," Carlos said.
"I know," Kendall sighed as he fell on to his bed. "you'll never guess who was helping with the set designs," he said quickly.
"Who?" Carlos asked.
"Logan and his friends," Kendall said, "I made sure I worked with Logan," he said.
"You sneaky dog you," Carlos said, "just be careful," he said.
"Why?" Kendall asked confused.
"He may not like you like his friend hates James," Carlos said.
"Logan and I talked and we got along great," Kendall said, "I mean all we did was talk, but it's a start," he said.
"Oh my god do you like having detention?" Carlos asked.
"As long as I get to spend it with Logan," Kendall said dreamily.
"Just be careful he may not like you back," Carlos said.
"I am well aware of that," Kendall said annoyed, "why can't you just be happy for me?" he asked.
"Look, Kendall you're my best friend, and do you know what people would say about you if they saw you and Logan together," he said.
"There go the fags?" Kendall asked, "I get enough of that already do that's nothing new," he said.
"Kendall, you'll lose your popularity," Carlos said.
"God, you sound like James," Kendall said annoyed.
"Oh my god I do sound like James," Carlos said slowly, "On second thought just go for it man," he said. Kendall laughed at Carlos' quick change. That was all it took to get the Latino to change his mind. Tell him he sounded like James. That was one thing Carlos did not like hearing.
"Look, I am gonna spend the next two weeks of detention getting to know Logan and we'll see where it goes from there," Kendall said, "just don't tell James or he'll try and ruin this for me," he said.
"Fine, I won't tell him," Carlos said, "but if he asks me I won't lie," he added quickly.
"Fair enough," Kendall said.
-Big-Time-Rush-
Logan sighed as he fell onto his bed. He was thinking about Kendall. He could not help but think about him. He was just so excited they had finally talked. He didn't know what to think. It wasn't like they had flirted, but they talked and that was a start.
"Logan," Dak said. Logan turned his head to look at Dak who was standing in the doorway.
"Dak," Logan said.
"I saw you and Kendall talking and that's what got me distracted and James tripped over me when I stopped moving," Dak said, "I want you to know he's probably only being nice to you because he doesn't want to start a fight," Dak said.
"I am well aware that he might not be interested in me," Logan said rolling his eyes. He sat up and looked at Dak fully.
"Logan, you're my brother and I don't want you to get hurt," Dak said walking over to him.
"Well that went out the window when I realized I was gay," Logan said, "I get harassed at school for that already," he said looking away form Dak.
"Yeah and I'll hit anyone who makes fun of you," Dak said.
"But you don't know about all of it," Logan said, "we don't have all our classes together and there's things I don't tell you," Logan said.
"Who's making fun of you?" Dak asked, "I'll kill them," he said.
"It's nothing I can't handle," Logan said waving his hands at Dak. Dak looked at Logan trying to get him to spill. "It's nothing really," Logan said.
"Fine, but Logan I only want to help you," Dak said, "if there's anything I can do for you and getting your man let me know," he said.
"Thanks Dak, but I am just gonna test the waters for now, but if I need anyone's help I'll come to you first," Logan said.
