I was supposed to upload the 2 chapters at once but I got busy and didn't finish this one on time, so here it is!
Chapter 2
Kendall POV
Fuck. Was the first thing I thought after hearing my mother cry in her bedroom, probably meaning that the idiot of my stepfather hadn´t showed up last night and now she was cursing herself for not being a better wife. I didn't need this so I stepped out of my room, and out of the house needing some fresh air and a good walk.
Desperate for a way to forget my mom´s cries I started thinking about my newest obsession: James Diamond. The fucking hot ass straight pretty boy that sited next to me in Mr. Smith´s class. At first I remembered looking at him in total awe, noticing his hazel eyes, soft hair and tanned skin. I was so nervous that I didn't even have the guts to talk to him. He looked so pretty that I though no way in hell he was straight. Then I saw him flirting with Camille, eating lunch with her…and I lost it. I had to ask one of my friends to start my reign of terror using spaghetti. I couldn't forget the look on his face when he turned around and saw me laughing, like he didn't want to believe that it was me the one responsible of making his hair a mess.
The next weeks he seemed to get closer to that bitch, which only resulted in more hatred from my part and more hell for him. I knew I was being unfair, that no one could choose their preference, hell I should have known that better than anyone, but I was a fucking jealous dude and I couldn't help it.
"I´m going for a run!" I raised my head after hearing that voice, looks like I had just found the Diamond residence, and the hottest part of that family was jogging in front of me, showing his rounded ass, defined muscles and toned legs. Damn him! Like I wasn't miserable enough now I had to walk around with a boner.
"James!" I stopped dry when I heard a woman calling for him, suddenly panicking I found myself hiding in the bushes "Where do you want your plane?"
"Just leave it on the window mom!" he scream back.
After I saw that no one was close I looked at a window where a small wooden plane rested. I had no idea what possessed me to take it, but I did it and I ran away, maybe like that I could hurt him as much as he was hurting me for not being able to stop thinking about him. It seemed like it was an important toy after all, and even if by grabbing it I ended up looking like the most immature asshole in the world, I didn't care.
The next day I saw him with a totally different face, he looked like he hadn't had much sleep, just looked pained and…dangerous.
"I heard that he has criminal records" I turned when I heard Jo´s comment.
"Who said that?" I asked not believing a single word; if he was such a bad boy why live up with my crap every day? That didn't make any sense.
"Blond Jennifer, she said that she saw his file while helping Miss Grey two days ago"
"Don't believe anything the Jennifers say" I looked around failing to see my best friend: Carlos García, who somehow had managed to snatch the plane from my locker, I really didn't want to know what the latino might have done to the poor toy.
"Where´s the plane?" I asked when he arrived and we entered Mr. Smith´s classroom and took our sits.
"It's a surprise" Thinking about the whole criminal records thing, I thought that maybe it wasn't such a good idea to mess with his personal stuff. Damn, even I had some special toys that my dad gave me before he died! I didn't even know when this whole thing started to feel like a bad plan.
"Well hello there faggot!" I winced at the word, Carlos knew I was gay, just like most of our grade, but somehow sometimes he forgot about it and started calling people fags or pussies not knowing that even if those insults weren't meant for me they did hurt "I heard it´s your birthday, I have a gift for you" I saw the look in James eyes when he got closer to his sit, it wasn't pretty at all, they were cold and icy, after seeing that look I found myself fully believing the Jennifer's story.
"Carlos…" I started knowing that if James got angry and violent, the latino couldn't take him, he was strong but too small to really be a treat for the brunette.
"Here!" out of nowhere Carlos got a small gift box and handed it to James, who took it almost with fear. When he opened it everybody saw the tiny plane completely shattered.
And then James lost it.
He grabbed Carlos by his shirt effectively crashing his fist into the latino´s nose. Alarmed I launched myself forward keeping the brunette away from my friend, and of course that changed James aim to me. The girls were screaming and crying seeing that every blow either of us gave ended up in the others body. By the time the teacher got there, I had a bleeding lip and his face was decorated with a black eye.
"To my office, now!" I had never seen Mr. Smith so mad. Obediently both of us walked to the next room and sited in front of Mr. Smith´s desk "I was afraid something like this might happen" he said in a defeated tone "You just be glad I´m not taking you to the principal´s office…or calling the police" he looked a James, who paled when he heard him.
"First of all I had nothing to do with that gift" I tried to defend myself.
"Sure. And it was just a coincidence that you were wondering around my house just before my plane was stolen" James replied sarcastically. So he had seen me, but why hadn't he done anything about it?
"I just wanted to scare you a little, not destroy it"
"Will you please just shut the hell up?" Ok, he didn't look friendly at all, and I didn't want to get in more trouble so I shout my mouth.
"I´m disappointed of you guys. Kendall it has been awhile sense you got in trouble, and James, do you really want to get back to jail?" He got even paler, I felt bad for him "But, I´ll give you another chance. We´ll be exploring historic novels in class…so knowing that you both like that gender, you will form a team and present an exhibit to the class, explaining why did you choose that gender, your outfit…"
"Outfit?" we both asked hoping it wasn't what we thought it might be.
"Yes, you would dress just like the characters in the story" he smiled "You will be suspended for the next three days, which you will use to complete this assignment" he looked at us expectantly "Are you guys up for it?" I eyed James, he sighed looking almost in pain.
"I´ll do it, but I´m not sure…"
"Me too" I interrupted him, he gave me a weird look…maybe this was my opportunity to redeemed myself.
"Then it´s settled, now get your butts to the library and start working" and with a hand sign we were dismissed.
James POV
My face hurt like hell, I had a black eye and I had homework that involved role playing and Kendall Knight. My life was just so perfect.
"Infirmary" Was all I said before entering the room, inside was fresh and clean. I sat not caring if Kendall had followed me or not.
"Dear Lord, what happened to you?" said a young looking nurse, she towered over me and looked at my face frowning "I dare to think you had something to do with this?" I turned around finding Kendall standing near the door.
"Maybe" he answered "Not like your flirting might cure him or anything" Did he sound kind of jealous? Nah.
"Shout up Knight" I said bitterly.
"You´re good Kendall, you can go clean up while I take care of…" she put her hand way up my thigh, perhaps she was hitting on me.
"James"
"James" she purred smiling.
"I´m fine, just give me something for my head and we´ll go" I said taking her hand away from my pants, she looked hurt while Kendall gave me a tiny smile that made my heart speed up to dangerous levels.
"I think we should call it a truce, just for the sake of this thing" he offered his hand. I thought about his offer, it was the better way to get over this shit.
"I guess it won´t kill me" I shaked his hand feeling an electric bolt the minute I touched his skin. Maybe I was safer hating him.
We were currently sitting in a big table inside the school library, not daring to look at each other while we checked some book genders.
"Any specific gender you want to do?" Kendall raised his eyebrow catching a wrong meaning in my words "Don't be such a pervert and answer the damn question" I really hoped that I wasn't blushing after seeing that totally sexy eyebrow raising.
"Let me think…how about a western? I don't think dressing up as cowboys would be that horrifying or uncomfortable" Watching Kendall move around in a Cowboy attire…oh yeah that will be interesting.
"I like it, I´ll look in the books you can research on the web" he opened his laptop.
"We´re James and Kendall, and it´s nice to meet ya´ll"
"What…was that?" I asked looking at him like he was a lunatic trying to stiff my laughter.
"It´s our way to introduce ourselves perrty little theng" now I couldn't take it anymore and I laughed out loud, not because the joke was that good, but because Kendall looked so freaking adorable doing it. He smiled back giving me a front row view of his cute dimple.
"Boys keep it quiet, remember this is a library" said the voice of Ms. Johnson from the back.
"Sorry" we said at the same time, that was the second one that day.
"Ms. J, what´s wrong with the wifi?" asked Kendall looking frowning at his laptop.
"We´re having some trouble…if you have a lot of homework you could go home and I´ll tell your teacher I gave you permission" I looked at him silently asking if it was ok with him.
"As long as it´s in your place, I don't like criminals around my mom" somehow I knew he was joking and I just rolled my eyes. I didn't know what to think of this guy, after days of making my life miserable he looked like he wanted to set things right, but before I could agree to let him inside my house I had to ask.
"Why do you hate me?" He moved looking me in the eye.
"I don't hate you"
"Then why…?"
"Do I make your life a living hell?" he bit his lip "Homosexuality" he smiled like he didn't cared that his words stung my heart in a way I didn't want to admit.
"Ok then" no having anything else to say, I got up, grabbed my stuff and started walking away from that homophobic bastard.
