Logan's P.O.V
I knew it. I just knew it! James Diamond had come and taken the new kid and now he was probably hating me just like the others. I sighed and ate alone just like always. I sighed wishing I had just one other friend besides Carlos. I mean yeah I love him and he's always cheering me up, but still. I guess that's never going to happen.
After lunch I went to biology. We were being paired up with partners for a lab assignment. "Ok let's see. Kendall why don't you go and be partners with Logan?" I saw him nod and come over. Oh great someone else hating me.
"Hey Logan!" he said grinning.
I was taken aback by his friendliness.
"I thought you would hate to be paired with me?"
"Why would I do that?"
"Didn't you join the popular kids?"
"So?"
"Well I just thought that you would take their views on stuff." I saw Kendall raise an eyebrow.
"No. Why would I?" My eyes dropped instantly as James looked over at me. Kendall looked over and James smiled before turning away. "Let's just get this over with." He sighed as I kept my eyes on the table.
Kendall and I did our assignment in silence. It wasn't surprising that afterward James grabbed Kendall's arm and led him from the room. He caught sight of Carlos glaring at him. He paused briefly as Carlos stood and stormed over. "Look Diamond! I'm tired of you trying to kill my friend!"
"I'm not trying to kill him." James said quietly.
"Oh no? You pulled Kendall away from him and you beat him up daily! You don't call that killing?!" James didn't look up from his hands and Carlos leaned closer. "If you think in God's name I will go out with you then your sadly mistaken!" He hissed so close to James that he could have kissed him.
"Why?"
"Why? Why?!" Carlos stepped back then slapped James before leading me from the class. "That's what you get!" He hissed as he passed James who looked stunned that someone had actually hit him.
Kendall's P.O.V
I stared as Carlos slapped James across the face. My eyes were wide and I stepped back. I had never expected that. From what I heard people were scared of James. I guess not Carlos. He was the only one who got away with it. I pulled away from James and walked outstaring wide-eyed at Carlos. He turned and glared at me. "What? You got something to say?"
"N-no." I said as Logan raised his hand to stop his friend.
"Carlos he's the new kid named Kendall."
"So? I don't care who he is!" Logan stared shocked at Carlos. Carlos's voice softened.
"I'm sorry Logie I'm just tired of people hurting you and thinking that they can do whatever the fuck they want! Like for example Jett and Wayne Wayne." Logan flinched at both names and pulled Carlos down the hall occasionally looking fearfully back at me.
The rest of the school day was spent with James and finally when the final bell rang I grabbed my stuff and took off. I didn't want to make people think that I was like all these stuck up rich jerks. So I drove home and I was surprised that I lived a few blocks down from Logan. I smiled and went inside grinning. "Hey big brother!" Katie said looking up from watching a movie. I grinned.
"Hey baby sis." I sighed dropping onto the couch.
"How was your first day?"
"Horrible!"
"Kendall I know you hate school" my mom said coming in. "But really was it horrible?"
"Yeah. It's like my first school."
At my first school when I didn't know what lay ahead people wanted me to join in the war that was going on. It was between of course the more rich kids and the more poorer kids or now what you would classify as "Losers". I absolutely hated it! Everyone expected me to join the popular kids, but I wasn't rich and I didn't care if I was or not. In that year I met my close friend Camille Roberts. She had a fin ace for the dramatics and she wanted to be an actor. She like me didn't care what people wanted her to do. She did her own thing and cast opinions aside. I admired her for that.
"Oh! What happened?"
"Well ok so I met this boy named Logan Mitchel. People hate him I guess. James Diamond is one of them."
"Who's James Diamond?"
"He's like well he's-he's like the most popular kid there and he's handsome and girls drool all over him and he kind of controls the school! He wants me to join in on his popular group!"
"Do you?"
"Hell no!" I said standing up. "Apparently his prime target is Logan! It's because he's gay and I know I should have stepped up and not let James control me, but you know I'm not ready to come out yet." I said my voice dropping. "I guess he's been hurt really badly by two other boys." My mom frowned deeply worrying for him.
Logan's P.O.V
When I got home the house was empty like always. My mom worked three jobs because my dad had been killed in the army so now it was just her and me and she never had the time and patience to get to know me. It was like living with a stranger. At least if you were roommates you would somewhat get to know them, but no my mom didn't know me and I didn't know her either.
I went upstairs and into my room closing the door and starting on my homework. It was easy, but I needed a distraction from my thoughts and to keep myself busy. It might have worked if I didn't see Kendall Knight getting out of a car a few houses down. Great. I thought groaning. But then I paused and thought back to him. He hadn't acted like all the others. Maybe there could be a chance with him. Maybe we could be friends.
After my homework was done I headed towards my bathroom and stripped down. Turning on the shower I waited for it to heat up before hopping in and started to enjoy the hot water. The heat made my tense muscles relax. I sighed then tried to just relax and enjoy the heat and how my muscles seemed to be unclenching and relaxing. Soon though I hopped out and toweled off and walked back into my room pulling open my closet and changing into clothes.
Once dressed I went downstairs and made myself some food before sitting down and eating. I wished that I wasn't alone twenty four/seven, but I guess it couldn't be helped.
Or could it?
That voice in my mind made me freeze. I didn't think it would come. I knew deep down that the voices were a part of me just picking at me, but it was hard to convince myself when the thoughts came slamming into the wall I was trying to build. It all came slamming down and I groaned. Dammit why did this happen to me? I thought.
Your weak that's why. The thought came.
"No-no I'm not." I said out loud.
Oh no? Carlos had to fight your battles for you!
"Carlos does not fight my battles for me! Just shut the hell up!" I yelled angrily trying to block out the thoughts. Maybe they were right.
Or maybe the rational part of my mind said you should go to the doctor and get some medicine for your depression.
The thought floored me. I wasn't depressed was I? Turning I went upstairs and started looking up the symptoms of depression.
Sorry for the mistakes you guys. I wasn't aware until Guest Reviewer pointed them out. Thanks for that. And don't worry that much about Logan. I'm going to make his life better. All in time though. All in time.
