Everyone should read Tall Blonde and Eyebrows' stories. I literally got inspired by her story, Boyfriend Shirts and Shameless Flirt. There is a bit of Shameless flirting and two plaid shirts in this chapter lol.
I hope you guys like this chapter. At first I thought 'AWWW this is cute.' Then ten minutes later after I finished, I thought 'this could be a bit creepy.' lol NVM I hope you enjoy it. =]
Disclaimer: I don't own them. Interesting life if I do...

Chapter 2 - Illogical behavior
Today is a Saturday, a typical day for teenagers to relax and enjoy the beautiful day. But in Palmwoods, everyone is busily away memorizing scripts, working on vocals or acting. Fun was not something people have every Saturday but to a group of new friends born outside of the hectic world of L.A., fun is exactly what the day means to them.
Outside, under a slightly cloudy sky, four friends are sitting on the round cushioned bench with an unlit bonfire table. A blond, tall boy in his signature plaid shirt and skinny gray jeans is sitting furthest left with his hand around a shorter blond girl in a floral mini-dress. To the furthest right, a black, spiky hair boy is in a preppy ensemble has his arm around the shoulder of a long black hair girl who has her arm around his waist. It is a rare occasion for the four friends to hangout and relax from the pressure of music and acting career.
"You Know, it's a great day. The four of us enjoying a beautiful day and I'm with Jo." The blond boy said, staring, smiling at his blond girlfriend.
"Aw. I couldn't have said it better, Kendall. I hope NOTHING comes up again. Acting in a TV show is hard." She sinks into Kendall's broad arm and looks at the girl next to her. "Right, Camille?"
"Ah, sure Jo, but I only do movies. But they do get pretty dang hard. I am a Ninja princess saving a robot king for the evil clutches of a dark magician." The other three friends all turn facing her with blank expressions. "Well I didn't get the part yet. But I will. I brought a weird ninja sword thingie and James promised to help. You think I'll get it right, Logie?" She stares at the spiky hair boy and pouts her lips.
No way you'll get the part and that's not my name. "It's Logan, but sure Camille. I think you are perfect for the part." Logan gives a slightly crooked smile.
"Thanks Logan. You are the best boyfriend." She smiles and Logan starts to lean into her. Slap!
"What was that for?" He shouted, holding his right hand to his redden cheek still having his left arm on her shoulder.
"I don't know, it felt right." She dramatically stares into the sky. "Actors act on spot all the time." The two boys stare at her with a "she's crazy" look.
"Sure Camille. And that's why actors around you have rosy cheeks." Kendall says breaking the awkward silence.
"Guys, I got great news!" An extremely tall, well groomed boy clad in a plaid shirt shouts as he jumps the bonfire table to squeeze in between the two girls. He stares at Kendall with a huge smile. "Guess what Kendall?"
"Why guess? You're just going to"
"I got a date!" He exclaims cutting Kendall off mid sentence. Typical James, Logan thinks. And is that Kendall's favorite flannel shirt?
"It's a Saturday, James. Not a surprise being that you ALWAYS get the girl!" Camille slaps Logan again.
"I'm a girl!" Camille yells, glaring intensely at Logan.
"Not the point. I have a date with, wait for it…"
Kendall rolls his green eyes "Rach.."
"Rachel, the sun block girl! Thanks by the way Kendall. This shirt is manly, warm and lucky." James cuts Kendall off again earning himself another eye roll. "The face always gets the pretty people. Remember that Logan." He points to Logan's face.
"Nope. I get the prettiest one, James. I have Kendall." Jo says getting a cold stare from James. "But that shirt looks familiar."
"It is. I took it from Kendall's closet, and no Jo. One day I will get all the pretty people, especially your hot, manly boyfriend."
"Sure James, I will make out with 'the face' someday." Kendall says smiling. That didn't sound sarcastic. Logan thinks and sighs. Why am I over analyzing them?
"You bet you will." James now points his finger at Kendall sharing a smiling moment between them.
Another awkward silence. Boy, today is filled with silence and slaps, Logan thinks. "Well good to know 'the face' and 'the hot, manly one in plaid' will one day make out." He rolls his eyes.
Suddenly, a pair of strong muscular arms wraps around Logan's chest and a head forcefully drops on his left shoulder.
"AHHHH!" Camille throws both her arms in the air and screams at someone attacking her boyfriend from behind.
"Carlos, you know you can sit next to me on the right. There is room." Logan says calmly and sighs. Camille's eyes twitches as she is still in shock that Logan is so composed even though he could have been mugged.
"Aw. How did you know it was me, Logie?" Carlos questions making his pouting face. Logan closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
"Your scent." Logan says, turning his head and opening his eyes so he can directly stare into Carlos' crystal, shimmering eyes. He chucks a smile remembering when and how he created such an intimate observation.
Flashback
Carlos and Logan are shopping in Macy's trying to find cologne for Carlos to wear for James' sixteenth birthday.
"Why are we here? We just finished hockey practice and I got a lot of homework to do." Logan whines.
"Homework is not that important Logie." Carlos says looking around sporadically turning his head to find the poster of cologne with the best looking advertisement. Homework is the most important thing! "Besides it's James' sweet sixteen." James is such a girl. What kind of guy has a sweet sixteen? Logan rolls his eyes. "
Please help me, Logie?" Carlos says pouting his lips.
Logan sighs throwing his hands in defeat, "Ok Carlos." Why do I always do what Carlos says?
"Yes!" Carlos says pulling his right fist to his hip.
Ten minutes past, Carlos finds a bottle. 'Logie, I found one."
"Good. Buy it and let's go." Logan turns around and walks to the cashier.
"Wait Logie. You have to smell it first."
Logan grumps, "Fine. Spray yourself." Carlos doesn't move. He just stares at Logan. "Carlos?"
"But I smell after hockey and I forgot deodorant." Carlos says blushingly.
"Just spray. Cologne should work with your natural body smell."
Carlos walks closer to Logan. "But what if this cologne doesn't work and we keep piling more and more colognes on me. It won't wo… wait!" Carlos says pointing his finger up. Logan stares with a raised eyebrow. "Smell me."
"What!" Logan says, blushing the color of a tomato. "No I'm not doing that! People are here." I'm not doing that. He can't make me.
"Please Logie. I know only you're smart enough to tell the difference between smells if you first smell my original smell." You said smell three times, Carlos. That's bad wording in a sentence.
But Carlos pouts again and just like that Logan agrees. "Fine, but make it quick." Logan whimpers as Carlos smiles victoriously.
Carlos pulls the collar of his V-neck out and Logan first looks around making sure no one is looking, puts his head slightly in through the hole. Logan takes a deep breath. Musky. Logan closes his eyes and takes a longer breath. A hint of spices with a faint citrus note. He soon lays his head on Carlos' defined Pecs and breaths out feeling Carlos chest shaking from his ticklish air. Logan breaths again, trying to explore all the scents of Carlos. Cinnamon, my favorite.
"Logie?" Carlos says after feeling ten ticklish breaths. "Logan!" Logan snaps his head out of Carlos' shirt and blushes even redder than before.
"Yep that's a good scent!" Logan quickly says. He revolves his head repeatedly to look at the passing customers hoping no one he knew sees him.
"But you didn't smell the cologne."
"Buy it!" Logan turns and hastily sprints to the cashier.
Flashback
"I remember your scent." Logan softly grins and stares at Carlos' confused eyes. Slap! Ok, that is the third slap.
"Eww, Logan." Camille says getting up and walks a few feet away. Jo is swiftly following behind her.
"What did I do?" Logan asks knowing Camille might slap him again. She sharply spins around.
"You know what Carlos smells like!" She states rather than questions. "Gross! I'm going shoe shopping and away from my creeping boyfriend."
"Me too." Jo adds calmly. "What is worst, a boyfriend who memorizes another guy's scent or a boyfriend who will one day cheat with another guy who talks in third person?"
The four best friends think "what's so bad?" and stare at each other as the two girls leave.
"Well, I don't know what you guys think but good riddance if you know what I mean." James says with his famous crooked smile. Kendall looks at James and sighs.
"Well good, because I need help." Carlos says jumping over the couch landing to the left of Logan with his right arm still around Logan's shoulder.
"With what?" Logan says hoping it's a homework problem. Then I get to help Carlos alone.
"Well…" Carlos started and motions his fingers to gather the guys in a huddle form. "Well, you guys are more advance and smarter that I am so… How do I ask the Jennifers out?" What!
"Carlos has a crush." James sings smiling that his girlfriendless friend is searching. "Finally too."
"No! Why the Jennifers?" Logan shouts at Carlos. He intently stares at him not noticing the raised eyebrow from the other two.
"They are pretty."
"No. They are evil. They don't care about anyone!" Logan shouts louder.
"Calm down Logan." Kendall says. "It's ok for Carlos to crush on a girl or three girls."
"Three pretty girls too" Carlos adds with a bright smile.
"No! Carlos will not date them!"
"I think it's a good idea." James finally says in a normal tone. "Besides, I don't like them so you can have them. Go for it, Carlos! Go for the third one, the Spanish looking one." James and Carlos start slapping hands in excitement.
"No! Carlos can not and will not date them." Logan says stomping his foot.
"Logan, you can't control me." Carlos says soft with a bit of sadness in his tone. He tilts his head and turns to completely face Logan. "Why are you behaving so" Logical "illogical? Please help me, Logan? You have a girlfriend, so I really want YOUR help." How am I, the logical one, acting illogical? It is wrong for me to tell Carlos not to be with anyone?
Carlos pouts with his watery eyes.
Logan pushes Carlos arm off and gets up. "I'm leaving. I have a paper to write." He briskly walks away with anger written on his face but also with a hint of guilt etch on mind. I can't believe I resisted his pout. Am I wrong?
'Wait, Logan!" James shouts at the top of his voice. Logan continues walking. "We have sing 'halfway there'!" Kendall stares at James thinking 'are you stupid.' "We have to get our street cred back!
