Author's Note: Okay, I must inform you that I'm not PurpleOrchids98. So, if you're wondering why, we decided to write a story together. So, for this chapter, it's my turn and for the next it will be her. I hope you guys enjoy the chapter :)

Disclaimer: We do not own anything familiar.

Logan POV

I told him. I told them this was a bad idea. But they just had to ignore me and even persuade me to join me by using my weakness, money.

"Logan!"

"I'm coming!"

And now, I'm the one who's suffering the consequences of their actions when I specifically told them that I didn't want to get involved in the first place.

*Flashback*

"Hmmm . . . Class, it seems that I have forgotten the worksheets you will answer. Just give me a few minutes to fetch it. And while I'm gone, I want the class to be silent. If I hear even a whisper from the other side of this door, every single one of you will get twice the amount of homework I usually give. Understood?"

"Yes, ."

The moment she left, chairs were turned and a mixture of giggles and babble filled the room. A girl I didn't know stood up and told us that she would warn us if Ms. Collins was near.

Since I didn't want to disobey Ms. Collins and get in trouble, I grabbed the book I bought which I didn't have time to start because of rehearsals. Just as I was about to open the book, I heard and felt my chair screech and move. Soon, I was lifted up and dropped back in my chair. I was now facing Kendall.

"Hey Logan." They all smiled innocently.

I knew that if they started smiling like that, it meant that they were concocting a plan that will cause trouble and they want me to join them.

"No, no, no. I do not . . ." I made a motion with my hands indicating everything that they were thinking of doing, "Want to be involved in whatever you're planning. Goodbye." I lifted my chair and went back to my previous position.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

I plopped down on my seat, propped my book up and buried myself in the first page.

"Oh, come on. We haven't even hold told you." Kendall reasoned out.

"All of your plans will get us all in trouble. Frankly, I think it's a miracle that we still haven't ended up in jail." I looked up.

"Thanks to you." James smiled.

"And that's why we need you." Kendall explained.

I rolled my eyes and went back to reading. Sure, they're my friends but unlike them, I already have a cringe filled life and I don't want to add another embarrassing moment if the plan fails. And besides, we're this close to being sent to jail, I don't want to push it any further and actually end up there because of another stupid plan.

"That's it. Desperate times call for drastic measures. I didn't want to Logan, but you forced me. Carlos!" I heard Kendall say.

My eyes widened in realization and I groaned. Not Carlos and his eyes. Nobody could resist Carlos' eyes. And Kendall was going to use it against me. I lifted my book higher to cover my face and theirs as well.

"Look at me, Logan. You know you want to." Carlos cooed.

"Says who?"

"You can't stay in that position forever." James explained.

"Oh, yes I can, watch me."

"Get the book!" Kendall instructed.

"No!" I held my book even tighter.

James, Carlos and Kendall and I were playing tug-of-war with my book. It took a few minutes before I felt the book slip from my grasp. And the moment it did, I closed my eyes as tightly as I could.

"Logan!" I heard them yell in frustration.

I smirked.

"Come on. It's not like Carlos is the snake woman in the book that melts people with her eyes." James said exasperated.

"First of all, her name is Medusa. Second, she doesn't melt people, she turns them into stone. It's basic mythology, James." I pointed to my left, thinking that that was where James stood.

"I'm Kendall."

"Whatever. I'm not opening these . . ." I pointed to my eyes. "Until you put down your weapon."

"Weapon? What are you talking about?" Kendall asked.

"His eyes." I pointed forward.

"My eyes? Wow. I never thought you found my eyes so . . . dangerous." James arrogantly spoke.

"No! I meant Carlos' eyes."

"Fine! Carlos?" Kendall said.

I heard a 'humph' from my right.

"You can open them now." Carlos bitterly said.

I opened my right eye first, making sure that they kept their word.

"Happy?" Kendall asked.

"No, give me my book back."

Carlos slammed the book on my desk.

"Thank you."

"Can we tell you our plan now?"

"You know, you could've told me the plan while my eyes were closed. I still would've listened." I told them.

"We . . . knew . . . that. We just didn't want to." Kendall told me.

"Yeah!" Carlos and James said together.

"So, what's the plan? Oh, and just to be clear, I'm only going to listen to the plan." I clarified.

"Ok. Here's the plan, after class we'll meet in the pool with at least 2 bottles of soda."

"What for?"

"Oh, I'm going to break the record for the longest and loudest burp." Carlos enthusiastically informed me.

"What? That's impossible."

"No, it's not. The person who had the longest and loudest burp didn't think so." Carlos said.

I shook my head and continued my statement.

"Do you know what soda could do to your body, particularly, your stomach, if taken in huge amounts? It has caffeine and aspartame that could cause . . ."

"Yeah, we don't care." James cut me off and stated plainly.

"Leave me out of this." I crossed my arms.

"Ms. Collins is coming." The girl told us.

"It's your choice. Oh, just something you might want to know, if we do break the record, they will pay us a huge amount of money." Kendall and the guys went back to their seats.

"Huge." James echoed.

"Money." Carlos whispered.

I pinched the bridge of my nose and shook my head.

"I really need new friends." I mumbled before turning around to face them."Fine, count me in."

"Why the change of mind?" Kendall leaned back in his seat.

"I'll be there to make sure that you guys won't do anything overly stupid because what you're doing is already stupid. . ."

"And you want to get rich." James added.

"Yeah. But if anything goes wrong, I wasn't part of this."

"Deal." Kendall stretched out his hand and I shook it. "And you don't have to worry about that because nothing will go wrong."

The doors opened and Ms. Collins went in.

"Alright, class, back to work.

*End of Flashback*

I had a feeling that the moment Kendall said that nothing would go wrong, that something will surely go wrong. And it turned out that I was right.
