Yeah...I haven't updated in like...forever, so I felt bad, and voila! Chapter Two!


Chapter Two

"Stupid nice acts," muttered James. Carlos gave him a glare.

"Continue," reminded Katie.

Kendall nodded then went on.


It was already eight pm and the boys were still working on the album.

"Um, guys? I think we need to stop," suggested Logan. "Let's start on the rest on our homework, then we'll do the album later."

Carlos pouted. "Do we have to?"

Kendall nodded. "Logan's right. If we keep working on this, we're gonna finish our homework at 9!"

"Then we won't be able to play some video games," said James, scrunching his eyebrows.

"Oh," said Carlos, slightly disappointed. "Then let's get to our homework! Maybe we can finish it later."


"What happened next?" asked Katie, as she crawled on to Kendall's lap.

"Well, we never did finish it that day," admitted Kendall.


A few months later, Kendall, Logan, James, and Carlos were walking into Carlos' bedroom after their first day of sixth grade.

"Middle school's SO CONFUSING!" groaned Carlos, plopping on to his bed.

"Yeah. Even as a genius, I have to agree," added Logan.

"And we have homework already! As if that helps," James sighed. "I need time to fix my hair! We had PE today and they gave me no time to comb it! Can you believe it? NO TIME!"

The other three sighed. James had been upset ever since they finished PE because their PE teacher told James he took too long changing, so now, he only had five minutes to make his hair perfect. FIVE MINUTES!

"Speaking of homework," Logan said, smiling. Kendall and Carlos glared at James. "What should we start with?"

"English," said Kendall.

"Spanish," said Carlos at the same time.

"NOTHING!" exclaimed James, also at the exact same time.

Logan rolled his eyes. "How about we do math?" The boys nodded and got their homework out of their backpacks. They crawled to the center of Carlos' room, sitting in a circle, and started doing their homework.


A few minutes later

"Logan, I don't get this one!" whined Carlos. He pointed to a section of the textbook with words on it.

"Carlos, those are the directions."

"Oh. Never mind!"


A few minutes later

"Logan, I don't understand this one! And it's actually a problem this time!"

Logan sighed. "Carlos, I've already explained how to do the least common multiple and greatest common factor!"

"You did?"

"Yes, Carlos. I did."

"When?"

"Carlos, just go check your math notebook from last year," said Kendall, who was busy doing some division problems. "We took notes on that."

"Okay!" Carlos stood up and went to his dresser. He opened up the door and sighed. It was really messy. He knew he always threw his clothes and other stuff in there, but he never thought it would be this messy. He looked at the far right pile of clothes and saw something sticking out. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but that thing sticking out…it looked familiar. He pulled it out and gasped.

"GUYS!" Carlos yelled. Alarmed, the other three boys looked up from their homework.

"What?" asked James, annoyed.

Carlos held up a dusty book out in front of him and ran over to the other three. He set the book in the center of their circle, and opened to the first page.

"What…is this?" asked Kendall.

"This is the album we made last year, as one of the Nice Acts," Carlos replied, eyes sparkling. "See? This was when Katie was still a baby." He pointed to a picture of Katie with a small hat on her head. She still had the same big brown eyes. "We should finish it!"

"No way, Carlos," said James, shaking his head. "We were immature, young, fifth graders. Now, we are responsible, mature sixth graders!"

"Uh, James," said Logan.

"What?"

"We made this less than three months ago."

James' face reddened. "Oh…"

"I think we should finish it," said Kendall. "Katie's gonna love it! I mean, wouldn't you like a scrapbook that had all your baby pictures, you know, the ones that are usually embarrassing, when you turn eleven?"

The other three boys looked at each other. "Uh…"

"Wait…lemme restate that. If you were a girl and you were eleven, would you like to see a scrapbook with baby pictures in it?"

The boys nodded their heads in unison. "Of course!"

"Let's make a promise," said Kendall. "The day after Katie's birthday, we can add more pictures. We can do that every year!"

After a short silence, James said, "I'm OK with that. Every year. Promise."

The other three looked at him in surprise. James Diamond rarely made promises, and when he did, the reward was usually for Cuda products. Promising just for the happiness from a little girl, now that was new!

"Well?" asked James impatiently. "You guys in or what?"

"Promise," said Carlos, smiling.

"Me too," said Logan. "I promise."

"She's my sister! Of course I promise!" exclaimed Kendall.

"Now…" said Carlos, who had gotten his math notebook. "I just remembered…I didn't take notes."


Gah...at school today, I spilled water on my folder with all my homework in it...

Lesson of the day: Don't put you water bottle inside your desk during art class! Put it under the desk!

Ahem...that makes me sound bad...lol

But seriously people, did any of you guys watch Big Time Contest or Big Time Strike? My fave quote from BTStrike was:

Logan: What do we want?

James: An ice cream sundae bar, a personal hair salon, a private exotic petting zoo, friends with Wayne Gretzky, a hot tub, a second hot tub...

Lol I loved that part!
