James was out by the pool. He was supposed to be doing his math homework, but if Logan found out he hadn't done it yet, he would help him. Okay...Fun fact: Being cool is a synonym for being bored. He was sitting in one of the lounge chair by the pool, using one of the modeling poses he had gotten online. "James!" James looked around. Katie was tangled up in red cat yarn. "What the....." James said. He got off his chair to help Katie. "It was that stupid-OUCH-cat", Katie explained. Bet you ten bucks he has that thing trained to kill me, no lie! "Katie, we all know you have a wild imagination", James laughed ruffling her hair. Seiriously, that kid is hallucionating! "You don't believe me", Katie said flatly. "I have an older brother James. I'm not completely clueless." "Hey....I think I hear your mom calling you", James said, cocking his head to the side. "Don't even try to pull that one one me", Katie scowled scornfully. She took out a pink blackberry. "Okay, where did you get that?" James asked. Katie shrugged. "I went on the computer, typed in my mom's credit card number, and ordered it." "Cool", James told her. "but wait, how do you know your mom's credit card number?" "Oh, I took it out of her purse, when she was yelling at Kendall not to watch PG movies", Katie said, rolling her eyes. "Geez, does Kendall teach you this, or..." James wondered. "don't ask", Katie advised.
Four hours later, James got bored with being cool, and went up to his room. Carlos was in there watching terminator. He was saying "cmon...cmon! Crush him! NO!!!! I mean yess...phew..." James rolled his eyes. Being cool and staying by the pool all day were much better than watching that junk. James opened the refrigorator, and got out some ice cream. "Hi James. What have you been doing this morning, afternoon, and part of evening?", Carlos inquired, his eyes glued to the screen. "Being cool", James said, putting on a cool expression. Carlos shook his head. "No way". "I refuse to believe that you were out there for the whole day, just being cool", Carlos informed him. "I just think you were being bored- CRUSH HIM! CRUSH THE EVIL ENEMY!!!!!!!!! "You only think cool is boring because you're not cool", said James, sounding miffed. "I'm cool", Carlos protested. "No Carlos". James said shaking his head, annoyed. "You play hacky sack. You like helmets. You watch terminator. You are not cool"
Carlos was miffed, too. "Well, I bet that you can't go one day without calling someone not cool." "Can too", James said hotly. "JAMES!" came an angry voice. Logan came walking out of his room. "You haven't done your homework! Gustavo's gonna flip! Seriously!" He thrust a pile of books and papers into James's arms. "Camille says that she heard Gustavo planning to check on us tomorrow, to see if we've got all our work done! "Oh, she told you that", smirked James. "Shut up", muttered Logan. "We all know you're in love with the 'method actress queen'", James announced. Logan turned red.
"Besides", said James, shifting his books and papers to the other side. "Homework's not cool." "HAH!", Carlos exclaimed. "I knew you couldn't go a day without saying someone's not cool!"
