AN: Because i live in the UK i have no idea how US schools work so I'm just going to use a Primary school. I went to one so I know how they work. Also I only know like 3 american supermarkets, and I only know 1 of them because I watch extreme couponing.


Kendall's POV

It's been 7 years since I last saw Carlos- since he walked out of my life. When he left I was in so much shock. I thought we were going to be together forever but clearly not. He didn't even give me a reason. Just said that he didn't want to hold me back. If anything being with him would make me work harder.

On the topic of work after he left I didn't feel like touring or recording songs. My manager tried to make me sing some love songs for an EP but when I read the lyrics they reminded me so much of Carlos and what we did together. I knew I couldn't go on singing and living in LA because the pressure would be on me to sing so I moved to Minnesota. I've never been to the north of America so this is a new experience for me. At first everybody recognized me and wanted an autograph or photo but now people know that I am a normal person who is trying to get on with my life. I still have some fans all over the world trying to get me to sing again and it's really sweet of them. It's nice to know that they care for me but I don't want to become a big star again. I still like singing but it's nice to know that I don't have to sell a million copies of an album to stay with the music company. Singing for fun allows me to still sing but for me; no one else.

I wasn't sure what career to pursue but I thought about being a high school music teacher. I thought about it until I remembered what I was like as a teen. Me and my friends were crazy and I wouldn't want to live with that for 5 days a week. After I decided on being a primary school teacher. I now teach 7 year olds who are in year 3. I still get to work with children but hopefully because they are a younger age they will be nicer. Because I don't just have to teach music I had to take some courses in maths and science before I got the job.

I got the job and now I am currently in my new classroom on the first day of the school year. I have decorated it with educational posters such as the times tables, the planets in the universe and the alphabet. I remember when I was their age and I couldn't say the letters properly. I would say them like in the phonics song.

"Hey Kendall. You feeling nervous?" Logan asks me as he stops at the open door. Logan is a teacher here who has been teaching for 3 years.

"Yeah a bit. But what's that worse that can happen. They are just 7 years old."

"7 AND 8. Don't forget that. Also here is a tip. Even though this is your first day of teaching act like you have been working for years. Even though these kids are young they are smart. If you show any flaws they will pick them up and think you are a push over. They then won't listen to you." I nod in response and he walks away. I then go to my desk and look over the planning sheet one more time to double check I have everything ready.


Carlos' POV

"Papi I'm scared to go to school." My daughter says while I am dressing her. Her name is Scarlett Jasmine Garcia.

After I left Kendall I moved back to Minnesota to raise my baby with my family. They have all been supportive of me. They have been with me to doctors appointments, the birth, finding out the sex of my baby. One thing they didn't like which I did is that I left Kendall without telling him why. They think he would want to be a dad and be with his child but I had to tell them that he doesn't want anyone else in his life and that he doesn't like babies. They also wanted Scarlett to be a Knight. I don't think there is any point in calling her after her fathers name because she is never going to meet him. And if I did she would be curious as to who he is. Another thing is that if I did call her Knight people would think I am some crazed fan of his who would like my child to be his, like what happened to Justin Bieber.

When Scarlett was still inside me I wanted her to look like me. It would be easier that way and she would look like the parent she knows. But unfortunately life doesn't work that way. She is an exact copy of Kendall. When she was first born the first thing I noticed was her olive skin. This didn't shock me because I knew she would have some Latino in her. When they handed her to me I looked at her other features. She weirdly has blonde hair and when she finally opened her eyes they were green. This confused me as she should have brown hair and eyes. It is uncommon for someone with dark skin to have light hair and eyes. As she grew up she started to look more and more like Kendall. She has his fingers, toes, face shape, nose, eyebrows(poor girl) and teeth from where her baby ones are falling out. Even though she doesn't look how I would of liked her she is still beautiful and I love her to bits.

"Why are you scared sweety?" I ask to her statement.

"Because the teacher I have now is new and the work is going to be harder."

"Ohh baby, there is nothing to be scared of. I'm sure your teacher will be nice and your work will be a little bit harder, but that is just because you are now entering key stage 2 and you are getting older." I try to reassure her.

"But what if the work is sooo hard I can't do it?"

"Then you put your hand up and ask for help. And if it is still too hard then I will talk to your teacher about it." I say than hug her and she hugs me back.

"Are you fine with your hair down like this or do you want it up?"

"I want it down but can you clip back the front hair." She is so cute. She means side fringe but she doesn't know what it is called.

"Baby, this bit here is called a side fringe." I say while putting several clips in her hair to keep it back. She will probably come home with only one left but that's why I buy so many of them. Once I've finished her hair I put her fleece on and grab her school bags and my work bag. I lock up the front door unlock my car that is on the driveway. I put our bags on the back seat and drive off. The music in the car is The Wiggles but I'll change it when Scarlett is at school.

When we get to her school other parents are there talking to each other as their children walk off through the school gates. I park the car on the road and get out with her carrying her bags. When we get to the front of the school I kneel down to her level and hug her. After I give her a kiss and hand over her school bag and lunch bag.

"Bye Scarlett. I love you."

"Bye Papi. I love you too." She then walks of heading to the gates. I wave to her and she waves back. Once she is in school I walk off to my parked car and head to work. I wouldn't say I hate my job but I don't love it either. I work at the local Walmart as a supervisor. Even though it is boring it pays quite well and I need the money. The car park is practically empty so I park near the store. I get my bag and walk through the automatic doors. I then head for the staff room to put my stuff away and see the rota. From 9 - 1 I am on checkout. Great. I then have a 45 minuet lunch break before I am managing an order coming in. I'm sorting that out until 3:15 where I leave to pick up Scarlett and go home. Well today is going to be boring. And I can't stop thinking about Scarlett. What if she really doesn't like her new teacher or if the work is too hard for her?

I go out onto the shop floor and sign in onto one of the tills. I then listen to the radio until any customers come up to me. The radio presenter says "Today we are going back in time and listening to every Kendall Knight song. Do you remember him? If not here is his best selling hit, Boyfriend featuring Snoop Dog." Boyfriend then plays, coming out of all of the speakers in the store. I've got a feeling today is going to be a long day.
