This chapter is dedicated to the new James Diamond RP of our group and to my classmate,

Rei Bang.


It's been a few weeks since we got back to The Palm Woods and for some miracle; Logan and Carlos were talking again. I didn't really know what happened but the other morning, when they went down for breakfast, Carlos was his giddy bubbly self again. It relieved me that they've finally patched things up because Carlos, in a way, was infatuated with Logan though he's never admitted it and probably never will.

"H-hey Kendall," Logan said stuttering as he sat beside me on the orange couch.

"Oh hey, Logan," I smiled.

I felt really bad for what I said about Logan and the rose he gave me. I found the gesture really nice and I never really thanked him. Heck, ever since the incident, James never left me alone and would follow me everywhere I went. I told him how ridiculous he was being but he just shoved me off and told him he needed to protect me from bad people. I wanted to argue but man, were his lips too good to say no to.

"Kendall, you okay?" Logan asked worriedly beside me.

"Huh? I'm fine! What were you saying?" I met his gaze urging him to continue mentally slapping myself for spacing out.

"Well I just…" Logan smiled looking down as he fidgeted with his fingers.

"What is it Log? Tell me," I told him a bit amused at how odd he was acting.

"It's about this science fair downtown, I want to enter…" he said rubbing the nape of his back still with his gaze down.

"Then go for it!" I smiled sitting up straight.

"But no one wants to come with me," he sighed.

"What? Well have you asked Carlos or… maybe James?" I said knowing all too well that Carlos would destroy the whole science fair while James, well, he and Logan haven't seen eye-to-eye ever since that night.

"Move nerd!" James hissed suddenly as he shoved Logan to the side sitting between us.

"James, what the heck!" I glared at him as I heard Logan sigh standing up from the couch.

"Logan," I stood up earning a huff from James.

"Yes Kendall?" He turned to me with the same agonized look on his face.

"I'd love to come with you to that Science Fair," I smiled as James clenched his hand on mine tightly.

"R-really? Wow, thanks Kendall!" Logan smiled with a faint blush on his cheeks before he excused himself to go down to the pool to meet with Camille. I on the other hand…

"Why did you just let him ask you out like that?" James screamed angrily.

"James, it's just some Science Fair okay?" I retorted annoyed at how jealous James was being.

"Yeah, some science fair YOU agreed to attend with HIM," he said acidly.

"James, he's still my friend and yours!" I gritted my teeth.

"So? What's your point?" his brows furrowed as he stared me down.

"My point? James, you've been treating him like crap since that night!" I sighed sitting down on my bed.

"…don't you think you're taking this way too far? He's not out to steal me away from you, okay?" I trailed a hand on my already messy blonde hair frustrated as I tried to reason with him.

"How many times do I have to tell you that-" James approached me with arms crossed.

"….that Logan looks at me like he's either undressing/harassing/raping me with his eyes right?" I quirked an eyebrow at James as he rolled his eyes.

"Look I…" James started but I stood up and kissed him before he could utter another word.

"Please just… let's just get to bed?" I said as I met his gaze.

"Alright," a small smile formed on his face as he kissed me softly.

James wrapped his arms around me as we lay in bed. A few moments of uttering sweet nothings to each other, he fell asleep with his arms around me.

As I lay there, feeling James' slowly breathing on my ear, I was left to ponder about Logan and how odd he was acting around me now. Was James right? Did he really like me more than he should? A sigh escaped my lips as I pushed those thoughts aside and slowly fell asleep.


"I want a corndog!" I heard Carlos scream as my eyes shot open with James still asleep beside me.

"You finished all of it, Carlos! Stop complaining and eat your vegetables!" Logan replied.

I couldn't help but chuckle as I heard them arguing about corndogs and vegetables like that. They had no idea how good of a couple they'd make. It makes wonder if maybe Logan liked Carlos too.

A plan started forming in my head as I sat up from bed. I smiled at how brilliant it was and hand to shake James awake because of it.

"James, wake up!" I shook him and earned a groan in reply as he pulled the blanket over his head.

"Babe, wake up! I got a plan to hook Logan and Carlos together!" I continued shaking him and saw his eyes open at the last part of my statement.

"Logan and Carlos… together?" he asked huskily as he looked at me.

"Yeah, wanna hear the plan?" I smiled mischievously.

"Sure babe, I'm all ears," James looked at me amused.


"Kendall, I hate this plan," James grunted as he took a bowl from the cupboard.

"But it'll help!" I tried to argue my point sitting on a chair.

James and I continued our conversation about my plan as we made our way downstairs. Mom and Katie seemed to have gone on a shopping spree and wouldn't be back till later while Logan and Carlos left to hang out by the pool.

"No! Kendall and Logan and KISSING are NOT even allowed to be in the same sentence," James said as he poured cereal and milk on a bowl.

"I won't do it! I mean, I'll just lead him on then break his heart and then he'll realize he likes Carlos! Boom, we're all happy!" I stated all too confidently but at the back of my mind, I felt as if going crazy because of how bizarre my plan was but it's better than doing nothing... right?

"We don't even know if Carlos really likes Logan- this is all an assumption, What if it backfires?" James asked munching on a spoonful of cereal.

"It won't!" I assured him still at a mental battle with myself as I made a bowl of cereal for myself.

"I dunno, Ken…" James muttered looking at me.

"James…." I sighed finding the right words to say but I wasn't given the chance to because Carlos came barging in.

"I HATE LOGAN!" Carlos screamed as he ran upstairs clutching onto his helmet tightly.

James and I looked at each other with the same expression of worry when we heard banging upstairs as Carlos continued screaming in Spanish.


James and Carlos for some reason, were occupied by the new video game my mom bought so I was pretty much left to sit and watch and was given a turn at the game every now and then.

I stood up and decided to look for Logan knowing all too well that he needed a friend or maybe even someone to talk to right now.

I told James I'd go for a stroll at the park and he merely nodded giving me a kiss still focused on the game. I blinked as I stared at James for a brief second, the kiss feeling like it would be the last one we would share for a while. I shook my head as I got to the door glancing back at James with a pang of worry in my chest.

When I left2J, The gut feeling of losing James lingered in my head as I went to the abandon garage where Logan was along with his odd machines, chemicals and contrapments were.

"Logan, we need to talk," I said as I entered the vacant garage space.

It's been days since Carlos' break down. The source of his anger was again of Logan's doing because he accidentally spilled chemicals on Carlos' helmet which melted a portion it. Well, Carlos was to blame too, for being too nosy and touchy about Logan's experiments but Carlos wouldn't have it. Everyone thought they'd be screaming at each other again but instead Carlos has been giving Logan the cold shoulder, actually no, he's been pretending that Logan didn't exist while James kept being mean him which led to Logan keeping to himself and I just couldn't help but feel bad for him.

"What is it?" Logan asked a bit shakily as he continued tweaking a machine of sorts.

"How are you?" I said not really knowing what to ask him in the first place.

"What kind of question is that?" he chuckled dryly still not looking at me as he took a screwdriver from his tool box.

"You know you can tell me anything right?" I said as I approached him.

"Anything?" Logan sighed as he looked at me with puffy eyes. He's been crying.

"O-of course," I was caught off guard seeing him upset like that but I forced a smile placing a hand on his shoulder.

"I've been… really lonely," he frowned getting closer to me and I could just gulp taking my hand away from his shoulder as I took steps back to distance myself from him.

"…Carlos and James hate me," he continued still trying to close the distance between us.

"…you don't hate me…Right, Kendall?" he looked up at me but I was too busy trying to keep my distance as my back hit the wall which snapped me back to reality.

"What? N-no, of course not," I let out a nervous chuckle as he stood a few inches away from me.

Logan looked at me with that questioning gaze and I looked back not really knowing what to do.

Silence.

"…are you telling the truth?" Logan asked breaking the silence.

I merely nodded as my heart tugged in my chest anxiously while my brain was telling me to get the heck out of there but as much as I wanted to leave, my body just froze on the spot.

Logan kept his gaze on me until he closed the gap between us saying "I love you," before kissing me.

The kiss made my eyes grow wide in shock and for a second, we stayed like that but my hands, by reflex pushed him away. My brain couldn't really process what just happened and everything just felt like it was a huge spiral until I heard glass clatter which made me look up to meet James' hurt gaze.

"James… it's not what you think!" I blurted out almost instantly as I made my way towards him.

"STOP." James said coolly.

"H-huh?" I looked at him as I forced myself from shedding tears.

"It's over. Go stay with Logan because it seems like you enjoy kissing him more than me," he glared at me, his hands in tight fist.

"B-but…. J-james… Please believe me," there was desperation in my voice as I walked close to him but all he did was look away.

"Do me favor and stay away," James muttered as he left while I called after him but no matter how loudly I screamed or how much I begged, he didn't look back.

I slid to the floor and found myself alone in that abandoned garage as tears continued rolling down my cheeks. James just broke up with me and all I could do was sit there and cry my eyes out. How pathetic.
