Changed Forever
Chapter 2
Skipping
A/N: Another update! Yay! Hope you liked the last chapter! In this one we fast-forward to mid October. Oh yeah. The last chapter would've ended better but I was tired and really wanted to get it up so I compromised.
Disclaimer: Me no own BTR. That be bad idea. Me no own Spencer's either. It would be even creepier if I did.
Warnings: Underage use of cigarettes. And cussing but who gives a crap.
3rd Person POV
It is now October. Logan and Kendall are friends. They sit with each other at lunch and talk, but they don't hang out. Logan is also friends with James and Carlos, but they don't talk to Logan as much as Kendall does.
Nothing really happened except for Kendall getting various detentions and Logan being himself: a nerd.
Everything was normal.
Kendall POV
It was just after first period and I decided I was skipping Spanish. James and Carlos were tagging along, of course, but I wanted to convince Logan to come too. I went over to locker 489, Logan's locker.
"Hey Logan," I said, leaning up against 490.
"Oh, hey Ken. What's up?" he asked.
"I was wondering if you wanted to skip Spanish today," I said. His eyes blew wide open at the mention of skipping a class.
"I-I can't. N-n-no way. I will not miss a class. I-I can't!" he said frantically. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Dude! It won't matter! Word is we are just reviewing today! Plus, it's fun!" I told him.
"I don't know Kendall," he told me cautiously.
"Bro, I could write you a whole-what do you call it? Persuasive essay! I could write you a whole persuasive essay on why you should skip class!" I told him showing off that I have actually been paying attention in class.
"Kendall Knight knows what a persuasive essay is? Well my goodness we must celebrate!" he said sarcastically, changing the subject.
"Ha ha. Now will you skip or not?" I asked him eagerly. If he didn't decide soon we would get caught.
He thought for a second before answering.
"Fine," he said, giving in. I inwardly cheered, but just smiled on the outside.
"Then let's go!" I said dragging him down the hall. I brought him to the huge double doors that led to the portables, just as if we were going to Spanish. Instead of taking a left up the ramp, I took him through the gate that led to outside.
"Where are you taking me?" he asked.
"The bleachers. Now hurry up! Carlos and James are probably waiting for us!" I exclaimed. I snuck over to the bleachers and hopped up to the middle where James and Carlos were.
"How did you get LOGAN MITCHELL to skip class?" James asked me.
"I don't know, but let's make sure he has a good time," I said.
Logan POV
I still can't believe that I agreed to skip. As I was being dragged over to the bleachers I kept thinking about going back.
"How did you get LOGAN MITCHELL to skip class?" James asked Kendall.
"I don't know, but let's make sure he has a good time," Kendall told the other boys.
What a gentleman, I thought. I sat there kind of spaced out, scared of being caught, when there was a finger snapping by my ear.
"Huh…what?" I asked seeing the boys staring at me.
"Want one?" Kendall asked me. At first I was confused, but then I noticed a pack of cigarettes in Kendall's hand. I wanted to say no, but their eyes were burning holes in the head, I was nervous, and I just couldn't think straight.
"Shu-sure," I said, sliding the small stick of poison out of the package. A lighter was stuck in front of my face and I grabbed that too. I figured out how to work the lighter and lit the cigarette. I just held it for a couple seconds, the smoke encircling my body.
Under the pressure of their stares, I put it to my lips and sucked in. I coughed almost instantly due to discomfort. There was a burning sensation in my lungs, as if my insides were on fire.
The other boys laughed at my reaction. I noticed them breath in some smoke too, but acted as if they had been doing it for years.
Probably have been, I thought.
A few minutes later, I was used to the feel. Now it was a warm feeling instead of burning. Instead of coughing, there was a pleasant taste lingering on my lips.
"So guys. My parents will be gone on Saturday night for some date thing and won't be home 'til Sunday morning. Disgusting I know, but I was wondering if you guys wanted to come to my party," James said.
I wasn't really sure. Teenage parties can be dangerous and I don't want to be influenced to d something I regret. But then again, her I am sitting, skipping class while smoking.
"Hell yes. Diamond parties are the bomb!" Carlos exclaimed.
"Fuck yeah!" Kendall said.
"I guess. I mean I could always tell my mom I am tutoring somebody," I told them. I couldn't believe I just said I would lie to my mom and go to a party.
"Awesome! I can pick you up and you can tell my mom you are gonna help me study and you can say you will stay at my house over night," Kendall told me.
"Ok. I guess I will then!" I exclaimed.
No turning back now.
"Sweet," James said. "I'm gonna talk to Guitar Dude and ya know…" James said raising his eyebrow. Kendall and Carlos smirked, while I was totally lost.
"Guitar Dude is a drug dealer, Logan" Kendall said, sensing I was confused.
"Oh," I said. I mentally told myself to stay away from anybody named 'Guitar Dude.'
"We gotta head in guys," Carlos said pulling out his phone. We all got up and made our way inside as the bell rang.
The next day, Kendall asked me to hang out with him after school. I agreed, although I didn't know what we were going to do.
The night before, I got permission from my mom to "tutor Kendall" on Saturday, so now I was officially going to my first high school party.
I went over to Kendall's locker after school ended.
"Hey Kendall," I said. His head popped out from the side of the door and he smiled.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
"Yep," I said. I pulled out my phone and texted my mom to tell her I was hanging with friends instead of going home.
Kendall and I walked out of the building and walker over to a car where Carlos and James were waiting, laughing about something.
"What's so funny?" Kendall asked.
"We switched Mrs. Hamilton's chairs to blue ones while she was having lunch."
Kendall burst out laughing. I wasn't sure how that was funny.
"How did you do that without getting caught?" Kendall asked after he calmed down.
"We switched with the ones right next door. Dude, if she is still all uptight about the room being perfect, she is going to have a heart attack!" James said.
I sort of understood now. I have heard stories about Mrs. Hamilton being strict.
"So where we going?" Carlos asked.
"Mall," Kendall said. I was excited. I wanted to go and get a new book.
In 5 minutes, we were at the small mall. We went straight over to the food court to get some ice cream as we talked about our days.
As we finished up our cool treats, the other boys debated over which store to go to. After a while, they decided on Spencer's. I had no idea what that store was, so when we stepped foot inside, I was pretty scared.
I saw blow up dolls, perverted shirts, sex toys, and various items that I did not want to see.
"Lol. Kendall, you soooo want this shirt," Carlos said holding up a shirt that read "I'm so gay, I shit rainbows" with a picture of a rainbow (1). I laughed a bit at this.
"Fuck you, bitch," Kendall said, glaring at the Latino.
"Oh, I bet you wanna," Carlos said letting out a laugh. James was having his own fit of laughter and Kendall was getting angrier.
"I'm not fucking gay!" Kendall said angrily.
"Okay Knight. We believe you" James said.
Kendall let out a low growl and stormed out. We all started laughing.
"Jeez. We were just kidding. Why does he have to be so sensitive?" James said.
"Don't know. All I know is that I REALLY want this shirt," I said pointing to a shirt that had the Batman symbol on it. It also had fake abs and a utility belt.
"You like Batman?" Carlos asked.
"A lot," I said, whipping my wallet out and grabbing the shirt. I purchased the shirt and we left to go find Kendall. We found him sitting in a chair outside of the bookstore, texting furiously.
"Who ya texting?" I asked.
"My sister. She says my mom wants me home so we have to go," he said.
"Kay," James said. Carlos nodded and we all left.
Kendall dropped off James, who lived closest to the mall, then Carlos, and now he was listening to my directions to get my house.
He pulled into my driveway about 10 minutes later. I was happy to see that my mom wasn't home seeing as I had to sneak in the Spencer's bag, and I smelt faintly on cigarettes from being in Kendall's car.
"You want a ride to school tomorrow?" he asked me as I stepped out of the car.
"Sure," I said. It would be nice to get away from the bus for once.
"See you tomorrow then," Kendall said. I nodded and he pulled out of my driveway.
Kendall POV
I dropped off all the boys and drove home. I smoked a cigarette as I drove. I got home and found my sister Katie sitting at the TV.
"Hey Katie Kat," I said. Her head shot up and she jumped off the couch to come give me a hug.
"Hey Big Brother," she said, her small 11-year-old arms wrapping around my waist. I kissed the top of her head gently and she pulled away with a funny look on her face.
"Kenny, you smell funny," she said. I had to come up with something quick.
"I was sitting outside of the mall for a while, so it's probably from sitting near people smoking," I said.
"Okay," she said. "As long as you're not, it's fine," she said innocently. I instantly felt guilty at the scared look on her face.
Smoking had killed our dad, but I'm different. It won't kill me.
"Well, I'm gonna go do some homework," I said walking away. I just hoped she believed me.
1: They actually sell that shirt at Spencer's.
A/N: Aww. Kenny feels bad but is too stupid too stupid to stop. If you're wondering how I know about what it feels like to smoke for the first time, no, I don't smoke; I take a class called Health. Anyways, update very soon. Like tomorrow or Monday at the latest.
