Carlos' POV

Wow it's such a beautiful day outside, what more to spend my day off than spending in the Palm Woods Park. I grab a used pair of jeans on my dresser and grabbed my favorite hoodie without waking up James who probably just wanted to sleep in. He started flinching and talking in his sleep.

"Why yes Nicole, I am very handsome." James muttered.

Wow! He's probably dreaming about Nicole Scherzinger again and how he's the CEO of his own hair care product company. Normal people just want to survive high school without any breakouts, but not James, he always has to be original, which I sort of admire. I left the room trying my best not to laugh.

I head to the kitchen where I see my buddy Logan reading an article about Venus.

"Hey Logan" I said

"Hey man; where you heading?"He asked.

"I thought I'd head to the Palm Woods park, maybe shoot some hoops or check out the scenery if you know what I mean." I joked

He laughed. "I think I do and yeah I'm up for some, one on one."

We took the elevator down to the lobby and saw Mr. Bitters sitting there as usual eating French fries. Jo was helping Camille rehearse for an upcoming role. We headed over to them and gave them each a hug. Camille slapped Logan across the face and the kissed him. I've honestly never seen a relationship as freaky as Logan and Camille's, Kendall and Jo are pretty normal except for the fact their goodnight kiss usually last 3 hours, James has been seeing this new girl Rachel and they're pretty into each other. It's so embarrassing being the only one without a girlfriend.

"Hey guy's what's up?" Jo said cheerfully

"We were just going to head to the park, you guys wanna come with?" I asked.

"Cant" Camille answered for her. "Jo's helping me get a lead in that new show Witches of Rodeo Drive."

"Didn't you already audition for that show? And blow up the audition room?" asked Logan nervously.

"You make one little mistake and suddenly you're a treat to the acting world!" said Camille exasperated.

"Well I hope things work out for you honey."

Logan kissed her cheek and we both left for the park.

"Wow Logan you and Camille really seem to be getting serious." I asked him

"Yeah she's great, a little bit of a whack-job, but at least she's herself." Said Logan blushing

"Aw Logie's blushing just thinking about his sweetheart. I teased him.

"Cut it out." He said slapping my hand away.

"Camille and Logie sittin' in a tree…"

"Dude seriously"

Now he was laughing he chased me across the park and playfully shoving each other around.

I suddenly stopped when I saw this girl walk by. It was like a dream in slow-mo, a girl more beautiful than all 3 of the Jennifer's combined. She had long, straight medium-brown hair, about 5'6, a thin frame, medium tan skin, probably a latina and big dark brown eyes. My heart just stopped at the sight of her, it was a moment I didn't want to end.

"Dude what are you looking at?" asked Logan looking up at the mystery girl

"What? Oh nothing I was just…"

"You were totally just checking out that girl over there."

"What no… I was just…"

"Staring at her as thought your eyes were about to pop out of you head?"

"Did I really look like that"

"Kinda, but anyway I've never seen her before, she's cute you think she's new"

"I-I wouldn't know."

"Yeah well lets talk to her."

"What! No um… Hey look its Rachel." I said changing the subject.

James' girlfriend ran up to the mystery girl and gave her a huge hug. The girl had a huge smile on her face, and what a beautiful smile it was.

"Looks like mystery girl knows James' wifey"

"I guess so"

"C'mon lets go over and say hi."

"What no Logan.." I complained, I'm no good at talking to girls, I'll look like an idiot

"C'mon Carlos don't be such a chick lets go." He said dragging me over to Rachel and the girl.

"Hey Rachel" said Logan

"Hey guys" said Rachel smiling as she gave us both a hug, I turned to look at the mystery girl, she's even more breath-taking up close.

"So are you going to introduce us to your friend?"

"Guys, this is Stephanie King, her dad and her just moved here to the Palm Woods, she's a horror director and actress."

"Hey nice to meet you guys" she held out her hand to Logan

"The pleasure's all mine miss King." Said Logan and kissed her hand, Stephanie blushed. How is it that Logan is such a nerd all the time but he's so good with every girl he meets? It's probably the dimples.

She giggled. "Nice to meet you Logan" She turned her head towards me. "And who might you be?"

"Me, I'm-I'm Carlos, nice to m-meet you Stephanie welcome to the Palm Woods." I shook her hand, I totally just screwed that up, Oh Gosh I'm such an idiot.

"Pleasure's all mine." She said borrowing Logan's words. She flashed a huge smile at me which made me smile too. We looked at each other and didn't say a word, it was amazing, like the sound of firecrackers goes off and the people all freeze, they just disappear and it's just her and me. We were still holding hands.
