James' POV
We all sat down at the lunch table, our usual spot. Kendall and Carlos were arguing over who was hotter- Megan Fox or Selena Gomez.
"Selena Gomez!" Carlos shouted.
"Megan Fox." Kendall said sternly. Carlos rolled his eyes. Carlos sat next to Logan, who quietly playing with his food. He'd been quiet for most of the day. Apparently I wasn't the only one who noticed. Carlos tapped Logan on the shoulder. "Hey, what's wrong, buddy?" Carlos asked Logan. He shrugged. Logan tended to lie a lot when it came to his overall well-being. It got annoying sometimes.
"Dude, c'mon. We know you well enough to know when you're lying." Kendall said.
"So spill." we all said.
"I failed the science test." he blurted out, looking down. I didn't know whether to laugh or sympathize. Logan takes academics really seriously, so I wondered how he could have possibly failed a science test. But then again, Logan has plenty of reasons to be distracted. His mother died last year, and his father just lost sight of what's important- his son.
"It's okay, dude..." Carlos said, wrapping an arm around Logan.
"No, Carlos, it's not." Logan said.
"Logan, it was only one test. It's not like you're failing the class. You have an A in every class." I said, trying to cheer him up.
"Why are grades so important to you, anyways?" Carlos asked.
Logan closed his eyes for a second, then looked Carlos straight in the eye.
"Because, Carlos, school is the only thing I have besides you guys." We all knew what he meant by that. "And it's not like I'm good at anything else..." he continued.
"What do you mean? You're good at everything, Logan." Kendall said.
"Yeah, like finding stuff. You're the only one who can find my lucky comb!" I said, grinning. He smirked.
"You're the fastest one on the team, Logan. We wouldn't be a hockey team without you, man." Kendall said.
"Oh, and you always tell me not to do stupid stuff!" Carlos said happily.
"Which doesn't work." Kendall said, laughing.
Logan grinned. "I love you guys."
"Aw, we love you too, Logie." Carlos said, hugging Logan.
