Hey guys. :D I just wanted to start by thanking everyone that submitted an OC. I already decided the winners and they are revealed in this chapter. :3 Please read and review letting me know what you guys thought.
The next hour went by quickly and before they knew it, it was lunch time. Kendall was already sitting at their usual table, with his usual paper bag lunch and bottled sports drink he had bought from the vending machine. Kendall's mother always made him and his sister, Katie, lunch as they got ready in the morning. It didn't bug him one bit though because the cafeteria got crowded quickly and it was his duty to snag a table for him and his friends.
"Thank you," Carlos bowed his head in thanks to the lunch lady and started for the table. On his way there he could hear the endless chatter of everyone around him. Then, as he was passing the popular kid's table, he came to a pause and looked over to the populars. He smiled softly at them, but they didn't seem to notice. Until one of the perky cheerleaders got up to go get a low calorie drink did they finally notice the latino. She stopped in her tracks and crossed her arms, "Can we help you Jesus?"
Carlos winced at the comment and shook his head. "I-I'm sorry,"
The perky cheerleader rolled her eyes and put her arms on her waist, "well then keep walking Jesus, you're in the wrong crowd." She waved her hand in the air to shoo Carlos away and walked off to go get her low cal drink. Carlos looked over to the populars one more time before walking away. "It's Carlos by the way. . ." he said, quietly, walking away.
Kendall took a bite out of his apple as he watched Carlos from their table. He felt bad for his friend. Maybe Carlos wanted to be popular? But then why would he want popularity when he has the greatest friends in the world? Kendall didn't know. It was hard to read Carlos' intentions. Pretty soon Kendall was joined by the latino at their lunch table. Carlos let out a sigh and started poking at his enchiladas. A soft smile came across Kendall's face, "Carlos, can I ask you something?"
Carlos placed his elbow on the table, then his head on his hand, and cut the enchilada with his fork. He took a bite and looked over to Kendall. The blonde was looking at him with an annoyed look. Did Carlos really just ignore his question? Kendall shoved his friend playfully, causing Carlos' elbow to drop and making the shorter male drop the piece of enchilada that was on the fork onto his shirt. Carlos quickly stood up, "What the hell Kendall?!" and started wiping the food from his shirt.
Kendall let out a chuckle, "Oh. My bad Carlos,"
"Yes. It is your bad!" Carlos shouted as he finished wiping the food from his shirt, revealing a big stain on his shirt.
Kendall raised an eyebrow, "Ok . . .dude what is your problem?" This was the first time he had ever seen Carlos act this way. Either he was really bothered by something or he didn't like today's lunch. He seemed so cheerful and energetic a couple of hours ago. What could have happened to him, since the last time Kendall had seen him, that made him so defensive?
Carlos sighed and sat back down, " . . .N-nothing. Sorry Kendall." He rested his chin on his hands and looked away. Kendall just stared as Carlos pushed his food away. Now he felt bad. He smiled and patted the pouty boy sitting across from him, "It's ok Carlos. Although I'm the one who should be sorry." It remained quiet. Kendall took another bite of his apple and poked Carlos under the table with his leg, "Sa-ree"
Carlos rolled his eyes and let out a small laugh. That's the Carlos Kendall knew and loved.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Logan asked as he appeared beside Kendall, pulling out a chair for himself and his girlfriend Eleanor. Logan and Eleanor Lillian Justice had been an item for awhile now. Every day before lunch, Logan would wait for Eleanor at her locker. Seeing as she had her class in one of the Far East hallways, it took her awhile to get to her locker. They had known each other since they were little but after her mother passed away she moved away. They were reunited every other summer whenever she came and visited her father, whom had to give custody of his kids to his sister, and eventually Logan asked her out.
"Hey Logan, hey Ellie" Kendall smiled warmly, welcoming the couple. Logan and his friends were the only ones that were allowed to call Eleanor 'Ellie', only because it was easier and less of a hassle to say. Ellie waved at the blonde before she started unpacking their lunch. Ellie and Logan each took turns packing lunch every day. It saved them the time to wait in line for the cafeteria food, and it was sort of their thing.
Carlos pouted and Ellie stopped. "Awe, what's wrong Carlos?"
"I want that," Carlos said point at the happy couple.
Ellie raised an eyebrow and looked at over to her boyfriend, who was taking a bite of the chicken salad sandwich she had made. "You want some? You know I always make extra in case Logie's friends want some," She smiled warmly as she passed Carlos a sandwich.
Carlos shook his head, "No," Ellie withdrew her hand and had a hurt look on her face, causing Logan to glare at Carlos. This freaked Carlos out and he quickly bowed his head, "but thanks anyways Ellie." This brought a smile to her face as she shrugged and unwrapped the sandwich to eat herself.
"What I meant was I want what you guys have. A loving and . . .public display of affection kind of relationship."
All three of them paused. "W-wait what does that mean Carlos?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah what Kendall said. I mean, you seemed so in love and happy discussing your girlfriend this morning." Logan added.
Eleanor jolted up and shook Logan's shoulder, "girlfriend? Carlos has a-you have a girlfriend carlos?" She asked in excitement.
". . .why do you sound so surprised?" Carlos asked, a tone of hurt in his voice.
Now Eleanor felt bad. She didn't mean to make sound like that. "Carlos, I. . .I didn't mean it like that."
"She's happy for you dude. And so are we," Logan said as he patted Carlos on the shoulder. Eleanor nodded in agreement with a smile on her face. Nice going Logan.
"Moving on," Kendall interrupted. "What do you mean by 'public display of affection'? Do you guys not go out in public or something?"
Carlos looked down at his plate and nodded, "Something like that. . .can't be seen together in public . . ."
Kendall frowned and crossed his arms, "Sounds to me like she's embarrassed of you if she doesn't want to be seen with you." He did not like this one bit.
"Kendall!" Eleanor snapped, slapping Logan on the arm and Logan passing the smack on to Kendall. The blonde shook his head as his friend sitting across him continued to pick at his food, "Why the hell are you throwing this girl a birthday party if she doesn't even want to be seen with you?!" Kendall was raising his voice a little.
"It's complicated . . .can you just pretend I didn't say anything at all?"
"No. I am not going to pretend Carlos. I don't see why-" Kendall was stopped by the tight grip Logan had on his arm. Logan pointed at Carlos with his eyes, and Kendall realized he was hurting his friends with his words rather than talking sense into him. He started tapping his feet and calmed down, ". . .I'm sorry Carlos."
"It's ok. . ."
"Look it's James and Bay!" Eleanor called out, trying to change the subject. Everyone turned their attention towards James and Baylee Elizabeth Voss, who were walking towards them. James stopped at the popular table, that Carlos had stopped at earlier, and started talking to them as Baylee continued towards the table. Bay waved at everybody, everybody waving back, and Carlos turned back around and started picking at his food again.
Kendall had this dumb smile on his face as Baylee took the empty seat beside him and sat down. "Hey everybody," she greeted everyone at the table with a smile and then gave Kendall a kiss. "Hey babe," Bay and Kendall were the "it" couple at their school. It all started when Bay beat Kendall at hockey and won a bet they had made. Bay and Kendall had that cute competitive type of relationship, and everyone wanted that kind of relationship. They were always making bets with one another.
Kendall smiled as they kissed and pouted when they broke away. Bay was about to take a bite of her enchilada when she noticed Kendall pouting, "awe babe you're such a baby." She rolled her eyes playfully as she gave him another kiss. Kendall was now satisfied and continued to eat his lunch.
"You two are so cute," Eleanor commented.
"Thanks. As are you and Logan Ellie," Bay returned the comment with a smile.
Carlos dropped his fork in annoyance, causing Bay to pause from taking another bite. She glanced at Kendall and the others, "uhm, did I miss something here?"
"No, please ignore the rude fool" Logan said throwing a soft kick under the table. "OW!" Kendall yelped jumping a bit in his seat. Logan had accidentally kicked Kendall instead because of his long legs. The blonde glared at the genius and gave him a pinch, causing Logan to leap up in pain.
"Ow, ok I'm sorry sheesh, Logan said rubbing his arm.
Both Bay and Ellie rolled their eyes at their boyfriends' behavior and continued to eat. James came to the lunch table with his girlfriend wrapped in his arms. "Hey guys," He had picked up his girlfriend, Danielle 'Dani' Taylor, from the popular table and brought her to each lunch with them today. James was popular as well, but that didn't stop him from hanging out with his friends that he'd known since kindergarten. James and Dani took turns going to each others' tables to eat their lunch. So James took turns eating with his friends and the populars.
"Ew, the devil's looking this way" Bay commented as she spotted Sienna Naunder glancing their way. All three girls let out a laugh before calming down. Sienna Naunder was the meanest girl in school. She was queen bee, and everyone either hated her or feared her.
"Remind me again why your friends with her?" Bay asked Dani as she noticed Sienna turning away.
"I don't know really. It's by default," Dani said taking a bite of her salad.
"By default? What does that mean?" James asked with curiosity.
"Well you know. . .all the populars are friends with her. If you're popular your friends with her. Get it?"
". . .No actually. You suck at explanations Dani," James teased.
"Shut up, you know what I mean James." Dani said playfully pushing James.
"Well, I'm just glad none of you guys are snotty bitches like that-" Bay began.
"Bitch?" Eleanor finished for Bay.
Everyone at the table busted out in laughter. Everyone but Carlos. James slammed the table with his fist while he was laughing, causing his milk to spill on Carlos. The laughter stopped.
"Oh I'm sorry Carlo-Carlos?" James began to apologize but Carlos quickly arose from his seat. The latino grabbed his plate and took off without a word, leaving everyone confused and worried.
James looked over to Kendall and Logan, "What's wrong with him?" His friends just frowned and shrugged.
"Was it something we said?" Dani asked Bay. Bay shrugged and then when Dani looked over to Ellie who was just watching Carlos throw his plate away then heading towards the halls.
