Chapter 1: Surprise!

James, Logan, Carlos and Kendall had just left the studio for the day. Logan was off to do research for class, Carlos was going to go play video games, leaving James and Kendall hanging by the pool.

"Why the grin?" James asked, glaring at him.

"Why so pissy?" Kendall replied. "You need to chill."

"Can't."

"Why? You're thinking about her again, aren't you? We all know that's why you broke up with Maria."

"N-no it's not... Maria and I just didn't work out."

"James, you're a bad liar. You miss her." Kendall flipped through the pictures on his phone and found one from last homecoming of all four guys with their dates, James with his arm draped over a girl with cherry red hair . "Admit it. You miss Lorraine. Come on James, we all miss her."

"Yeah, Kendall, I miss her. Everything about her. I know we said we didn't want long distance, but I need her to be mine again."

"James, remember how the people in the apartment next to us moved out last week?"

"Yeah, why?"

"It was supposed to be a surprise, but… Raine's moving in." Kendall grinned at his friend, who immediately flipped out.

"No way..." James jumped up from his pool chair, Kendall following suit.

"Yes way."

"Why the hell didn't you tell me before now?"

"Hence it's a surprise, stupid." Kendall glanced at his phone for the time. "Actually, we're all supposed to meet her in the lobby in like half an hour."

"What? You that gives me no time to get ready!"

"For?"

"I need to take a shower and change clothes and..." James rambled but Kendall cut him off.

"Then quit babbling and go." He gave James a shove towards the building.

"Thanks!" James yelled as he ran off.

Kendall sighed victoriously and texted Carlos and Logan:

He's a train wreck. Xp

Then he texted Raine:

He's freaking out. We'll meet you in the lobby in 30, Fierce.

"James?" Mrs. Knight knocked on her son and James' bedroom door.

"Mama Knight, I can't talk now. Don't know what to wear..." He spoke quickly as his Mrs. Knight opened the door to find him standing in his boxers and a black wife beater as he dug through his closet.

"James, relax. Lorraine wouldn't care if you were in what you're wearing now, but since I do, put these on." She handed James the clothes she was holding.

James stared at the clothes for a second. Black skinny jeans, green v-neck, and his favorite black vans.

"Thanks." He smiled as Mrs. Knight left the room and got dressed. He went to grab his phone to put it in his back pocket when he noticed he had a new text from Kendall:

She's here. Hurry up. Don't make me come get you.

"Fuck, I'm late." He cursed himself, grabbing his lucky comb and checking himself in the mirror before scrambling out the door.
