Chapter 3: Someone Like You
Kendall woke to his alarm blaring in his ear. He sat up and looked around. He spotted Logan still sleeping. He had no idea how the brunette was still sleeping when the alarm next to him was so loud. Kendall turned the alarm off and got out of bed. He started to change and walked over to the sink and grabbed his tooth brush. He started brushing his teeth and he looked over at Logan who was still sleeping. He shook his head. He finished brushing his teeth. Kendall finished getting ready for the day and walked over to Logan.
"Logie," he said shaking the sleeping boy. Logan groaned and swatted at Kendall's hand. "Logan it's almost time for breakfast," he said.
"So," Logan said causing Kendall to chuckle at him.
"Come on or I'll leave with out you," Kendall said.
"Fine," Logan sighed and sat up. He looked at his alarm clock and saw it was almost seven.
"I'll be out on the porch," Kendall said. Logan waved him off as he got out of bed. Kendall walked out on to the porch and sat down on the steps.
It was Monday and their first official day of activities. They had so many things to do, and Kendall was excited about this. He loved this camp, and he wanted Logan to like it. He didn't know why he wanted Logan to like it so bad, but he did. He thought back to the other day when he first saw the brunette.
Kendall had been sitting in the admin office talking to Dak, Jett, and Kelly when his mom walked in with his sister. Kendall had rode down with Dak, because he didn't want to be in a car for three hours with Katie. As much as he loved his sister, she did annoy him sometimes.
"Hey mom," Kendall said jumping up.
"Hey Mrs. Knight," Dak said smiling at her.
"Hello Dak, Kendall hasn't been causing too much trouble has he?" Jennifer asked looking at her son.
"No, he's been a perfect little angel," Dak teased.
"Ha," Jett said loudly causing everyone in the office to laugh.
"No he hasn't but camp's only just started," Dak said smiling.
"I don't see why I have to even go to this camp," Katie said, "I'd rather be home," she said.
"You'll love it here baby sister," Kendall said walking over to her.
"Just because you like it doesn't mean I will," Katie said as Jennifer signed Katie in.
"Trust me Katie this place is fun and you'll make friends in no time," Kendall said smiling sweetly at his little sister.
"It'll make the move easier," Jennifer said, "you're things are already all packed up and I don't have to worry about you two for now, and everything will be ready in the new house when you two get home in three months," she said.
"I don't want to move though," Katie said.
"It's only to Sherwood," Jennifer said, "it's an hour from Duluth," she said. Katie still pouted and crossed her arms.
"Come on Katie let's go outside," Kendall said grabbing Katie's arm and pulling her out the door. They both walked outside.
"Why aren't you against this move?" Katie asked.
"I am gonna be closer to James and Carlos," Kendall said thinking of his two goof ball friends.
"Well, I won't have any friends," Katie said.
"Just give it some time and you will," Kendall said.
"Kendall, Katie," Jennifer said as she walked over to them. Kendall looked over to his mother as she walked out of the office and saw the most beautiful brunette boy. He was walking behind who Kendall thought were his parents. He didn't look too happy. He was gorgeous and Kendall watched him until he walked inside the admin office. Kendall tried to listen as Jennifer talked to Katie about being careful, but he was thinking about the brunette.
"Mom, chillax I've been going here for years," Kendall said. "I can look after Katie," he said. Kendal noticed the brunette was watching him. He smiled softly and tried to focus on the conversation with his mother and sister.
"I don't want you or her getting hurt," Jennifer said.
"Mom I know this camp like the back of my hand," Kendall said, "Katie's a big girl, the only thing you have to worry about is her corrupting her bunk mates and teaching them to gamble," he said laughing at the face his sister made.
"Ok honey," Jennifer said. Kendall saw the brunette walk away and made a decision to try and find the boy later on. He just wanted to meet him and get to know him. Maybe he was gay or bi. Kendall just wanted to get to know him whether it be as a friend or more. He didn't know what it was about the boy.
"Kendall," Logan said waving a hand in front of Kendall's face. Kendall looked over at Logan. "Come on let's get going," he said.
"Someone's in a rush," Kendall chuckled as he stood up.
"Ok look, I told you before this wasn't really my thing and today you are going to see why," Logan said, "I am an uncoordinated dork who is not good at outdoorsy things," he said.
"I'll be there to help you," Kendall said laughing as he started down the path to the mess hall. Logan was silent as they walked. They both walked into the mess hall and walked over to the others who were already there eating.
"Hey guys," Kendall said.
"Hey Kendall," James and Carlos said.
"Hey Logan," Camille said, "you ready for some good old Camp fun?" she asked.
"Not really," Logan said.
"Lighten up will you," Kendall said elbowing Logan playfully. Logan rolled his eyes as they started eating.
"So what do you guys have today," Camille asked.
"I don't know," Logan said honestly.
"A few things down by the lake and then archery in the after noon and then free time," Kendall said.
"Nice," Camille said, "maybe we'll see you later," she said.
"Yeah," Lucy said, "we have some activities down by the lake this morning as well," she said.
"Us too," James and Carlos said together.
"Great," Kendall said, "we'll see you there," he said. Logan only nodded his head as he ate.
After they finished eating they made their way back to their cabin to get the things they would need for the day. Logan packed a book away in his bag just incase he got bored. Logan looked at Kendall as he got his things for the day. They both changed into swim trunks and t-shirt since they're whole morning was water activities. After they were done they left the cabin.
"Come on we have canoeing," Kendall said.
"Kill me now," Logan said looking up at the sky. Kendall only laughed and grabbed Logan's arm and pulled him along faster. They made their way down to the lake where Kelly and a group of teens were waiting for them.
"Thank you for joining us boys we were about to leave without you two," Kelly said smiling at them.
"Sorry, we got held up," Kendall said smiling back at Kelly. They joined James, Carlos, Heather, and Jo who were all standing with the group. Kelly gave everyone directions and maps to their destination. She then told them to pair up and get into a canoe. Kendall claimed Logan before anyone could and pulled him over to a canoe.
"Are you sure you want me?" Logan asked, "I've never done this before," he said looking at the canoe.
"It's easy," Kendall said, "you'll catch on quick," he said.
"Why do we need maps?" Logan asked, "is there a possibility that we'll get lost?" he asked.
"It's a possibility," Kendall said, "but we won't," he said.
"You sound so sure," Logan said as he and Kendall grabbed the canoe and carried it down to Kelly who was giving out maps.
"Hey guys," Kelly said.
"Hey Kelly," Kendall said, "Where were you last night?" he asked.
"Gustavo and I needed to fix some campers cabins," Kelly said, "there were some power outages last night," she said.
"So, we'll see you in an hour or so?" Kendall asked.
"If you don't get lost," Kelly said smiling.
"Oh please Kelly," Kendall said, "I know this camp like the back of my hand," he said looking at the back of his hand. He frowned and looked at his hand. "When did I cut myself?" he asked looking at a small cut on the back of his hand causing Logan and Kelly both to laugh.
"Come on this thing is heavy," Logan said to Kendall. Kendall nodded and they got the canoe into the water and got in themselves with Kendall at the front. They started for the river that lead off the lake with Kendall's direction.
"So, if we're fast we can get there before the others and have time to relax," Kendall said.
"Whatever you say," Logan said as he paddled behind Kendall.
"Lighten up," Kendall said splashing some water at Logan. Logan retaliated by splashing him back.
"Truce," Kendall called after a few more splashes each. Logan laughed and splashed Kendall once more. They settled into a nice rhythm and made their way down the river to their destination and like Kendall predicted they were the first ones to arrive.
"We're first?" Logan said questioningly.
"Yep," Kendall said. They pulled Their canoe up onto the shore and moved to sit under a tree in the shade. Logan pulled his book out of his bag which had somehow remained dry during their splash war. "What are you doing?" Kendall asked.
"It's called reading a book," Logan said, "you should try it," he said.
"I read," Kendall said.
"Really?" Logan asked, "do they have pictures?" he teased.
"No," Kendall said sounding much like a child causing Logan to laugh. Kendall grabbed Logan's book and looked at it.
"Breaking Point?" Kendall asked as he looked at the back of the book and read the summary. "This seems interesting, but you are not reading it at the moment," he said.
"Give it back," Logan said holding his hand out to Kendall. Kendall shook his head.
"No, you are going to do normal camp things," Kendall said.
"What am I supposed to do then?" Logan asked knowing it would be useless to fight with Kendall at the moment.
"Talk," Kendall said, "it's what normal people do," he said.
"In case you haven't noticed I am not normal," Logan said, "I don't talk to people," he said.
"Yes, and that's what got you sent here," he said.
"Yes, but I don't have to socialize," Logan said making a grab for his book. Kendall yanked it out of his reach causing Logan to fall forward over his lap. "This isn't funny Kend-" he was cut off by a wolf whistle.
"Wow you guys," Carlos called out. Logan sat up his face beet red.
"It's not what you think," Logan said, "he won't give me my book back," he said glaring at Kendall as Carlos and James pulled their canoe up on the shore next to the other canoe.
"Chillax Logan we're only joking," James said, "unless you have something to hide," he teased.
"I have nothing to hide," Logan said, "now ask me what you're both thinking," he said challengingly.
"Are you gay?" Carlos asked.
"Yes," Logan said, "that doesn't bother you does it?" he asked.
"Nope," James said, "didn't bother us when Kendall came out and it doesn't bother us with you. It just means less competition for the girls," he said.
"Yeah," Carlos said nodding his head.
Logan just shook his head and finally snatched his book back from Kendall. Logan then moved to sit under another tree and tried to read once more. He glanced over at the other three who were talking. They were probably talking about him no doubt. Logan didn't mind. That's how it always was. People would talk about him and laugh at him. He was used to it.
"No, no, I did not say that," James said loudly.
"You did too say that," Carlos said just as loudly.
"He's right James you kind of did," Kendall said, "that makes you an ass," he said.
"Logan," James said turning to the smaller brunette. Logan looked up at him and he continued. "If someone asked me if their fat and I said yes would that make me an ass," he asked.
"Depending on the person and who was around to hear," Logan said, "more or less the answer most of the time is yes," he said.
"What if I said it to Kendall," James asked.
"Oh, then the answer is no," Logan said laughing at the look Kendall gave him.
"I know where you sleep," Kendall threatened.
"Ooh I am so scared," Logan said closing his book and looking at Kendall.
"You should be," Kendall said, "I mean you don't know me that well," he said.
"Are you admitting to being an ax murder or something?" Logan asked.
"Maybe," Kendall said causing James and Carlos to snort. Kendall smacked them both as Logan started laughing. Logan moved back over to where the other guys were sitting and they all continued to talk and laugh until everyone in the group had showed up and they brought the canoes to the van and loaded them on the back. They got into the van in the back and continued to talk with just the four of them.
Once they reached the camp Kendall and Logan said good bye to Carlos and James and headed back to the lake for some swimming. They set their things aside and joined the others in the water. Camille and Lucy were in the water already swimming.
"Watch this," Kendall said. He got under the water and swam over to the girls and scared them. Logan laughed as they screamed and Kendall surfaced.
"Kendall," Camille yelled. She looked over at Logan who was laughing. "You think that was funny," Camille asked turning to Logan.
"Yeah," Logan said nodding his head.
"I also think it was hilarious," Kendall said laughing as well.
"You guys are jerks," Camille said pouting. Lucy was laughing now as well.
"That was a good one Knight," Lucy said, "just remember I know where you're cabin is," she added. Kendall and Logan both stopped laughing and looked at Lucy scared.
"I moved cabins," Kendall said quickly.
"I'll just ask James and Carlos," Lucy said smiling innocently.
"Ok I'm sorry, it wasn't funny right Logie?" Kendall said looking at Logan who only nodded his head. Lucy and Camille laughed and the four waded out into deeper water and just talked and swam a bit. Logan talked with Camille about movies again while Kendall and Lucy talked about music.
Soon noon approached and it was almost lunch time. Kendall and Logan made their way back to their cabin to change before lunch and then get ready for the afternoon. All they had was on activity they were required to do that afternoon and then they had free time.
They joined the others for lunch. Dak and Jett were sitting with them again. Logan watched the two and could see they were in love. Jett may get jealous of Kendall, but Logan knew he had nothing to worry about. Logan also watched the other. Logan could tell Lucy, Camille, and Jo must really know one another as they all talked rapidly and finished each others sentences while Heather seemed to talk better with James and Carlos. Logan noticed Kendall was all over the place. He was probably the reason everyone at the table was friends. He seemed to be the glue that held them all together.
After Lunch Kendall and Logan made their way to their next activity, archery.
"This is just an accident waiting to happen," Logan said shaking his head as he looked around the group of people gathered.
"Calm down," Kendall said, "the worst that can happen is someone getting cut from the arrow," he said.
"Right, because a bunch of kids and teen with bows and arrows is completely safe," Logan said.
"It is when everyone follows the rules," Kendall said, "anyone who doesn't has to leave," he said.
"That make me feel so much better," Logan said sarcastically.
"Hey guys," Dak said as he walked over to them, "Kendall we're a little short on counselors, Harry got sick and Jett had to take over his swimming time," he said.
"You want me to help since I'm an excellent archer?" Kendall asked cockily.
"When you put it that way I'd rather do it myself," Dak said.
"I'll help," Kendall said laughing. Dak nodded and they walked up to the front of the group and started giving instructions. Logan listened carefully. When it came time to actually shoot the arrows Logan felt somewhat confident. Kendall walked up to him.
"You ever do this before?" Kendall asked.
"Nope," Logan said honestly.
"Here let me help," Kendall stepped up behind Logan. He helped him with his stance and getting his bow strung. Logan could feel Kendall's breath on the back of his neck. It made him uneasy. He felt tense as Kendall stood behind him. He didn't know why, but Kendall just made him nervous.
"Now let go," Kendall said. Logan let go of the arrow and it hit the ground before it could reach the target. "You'll get the hang of it," Kendall said stepping back. He grabbed another arrow and helped Logan again and got the same result. "You're too tense," Kendall said.
"Go help some other kids," Logan said, "I am sure there are others who need help," he said. Kendall back up and moved to the kid next to Logan who was having trouble.
Logan shook his head to clear it and grabbed another arrow. He strung it and aimed it carefully and let go of the arrow and it hit the center of his target. Logan smiled pleased with himself.
"What was that?" Kendall asked looking up at Logan.
"Well who can do anything with you breathing down their neck," Logan said annoyed.
"I thought you never did this before," Kendall said.
"I never have," Logan confirmed, "I just did what you and Dak said and this time you weren't there breathing down my neck," he said.
"Nice job Logan," Dak said as he walked up to Logan. "I was watching you guys," he added. "and it is easier when you don't have someone breathing down you're neck," he said looking over at Kendall.
"You wish Zevon," Kendall shot back at him.
"In your dreams Knight," Dak said. Logan shook his head and laughed at the two. He could really see that they were friends. Logan never had anyone like that. He had had a few friends, but no one he could tease and just laugh with. Logan was kind of envious of the two before him.
-Just-The-Way- You-Are-
Kendall and Logan walked out of the mess hall after dinner. They had spent the rest of the afternoon after their archery time just wandering the camp and talking about it. Logan had learned a lot about the camp, but not much about Kendall like he wanted to. The two were currently just wondering again.
"Kendall," Logan said softly.
"Yes Logan," Kendall said.
"Why do you like this camp so much?" Logan asked.
"I don't know," Kendall said honestly, "it's just fun and I really love it here," he said.
"I've never met someone like you," Logan said.
"What do you mean?" Kendall asked confused.
"Who loves his friends, and is willing to put up with me and force me to interact with others," Logan said.
"You just needed someone to nudge you," Kendall said smiling at Logan.
"Well thank you," Logan said as they're cabin came into view. They walked up to their cabin in silence. They walked over to their beds and sat down.
"So, are you having fun?" Kendall asked.
"Nope," Logan said smiling.
"Liar," Kendall said looking over at Logan.
"Fine, I will admit I am having more fun than I thought I would be," Logan admitted, "but remember I came here expecting no fun at all," he added.
"You are a hard person to crack," Kendall said.
"So what is there to do around here after dinner?" Logan asked.
"Wander or hang out with the guys," Kendall said.
"Well James and Carlos are off chasing girls so that leaves you and me," Logan said.
"We could go chasing guys but I think they only other gay guys here are Dak and Jett and as much fun as it is to mess with Jett, I do not have a death wish," Kendall said.
"So why is Jett so possessive do you know?" Logan asked.
"I have a theory," Kendall said, "it just that Jett is afraid to lose Dak like he did his mother," he said.
"What happened?" Logan asked.
"Well when he was young his mother walked out on him," Kendall said, "She was seeing another man and just left him and his father," he said.
"Oh," Logan said shocked.
"You can't tell anyone I just said that," Kendall said, "Dak told me not to tell anyone that," he said.
"I won't don't worry," Logan said.
"Wow I didn't even realize what I was saying," Kendall said.
"I won't tell anyone," Logan said.
"I'm not even supposed to know," Kendall said, "Dak let it slip once," he said.
"I really won't tell Kendall," Logan said.
"I know," Kendall said.
