"Logan Mitchell." I say to the lady at the front desk. This is so not me. Being in trouble on the first day? What was happening to me?
I was in science, listening to the teacher, and my mind started to wander off a little. Next thing I knew, the teacher was calling on me. To be honest, I was thinking about Kendall. Those green eyes of him looking into my eyes made my whole body melt.
And now I was in trouble. I did not have patience right now. I didn't want to be seen in the principal's office this early. I feel bad for the kid I blew off at the door… I hit him pretty hard. Maybe I should apologize to him.
As I look back, I see him. Kendall! That Kendall. The same Kendall I saw outside. The same Kendall with those green eyes and blonde hair. Yes, I'm sure of it.
But before I can apologize, he runs out of the room. Did I scare him away?
"Excuse me… Mr. Mitchell?" I've been spacing out for so long; I haven't noticed the lady at the desk was talking to me. "Please take a seat."
I sit down on the chair closest to the door. Maybe Kendall would come back.
"Mr. Belt isn't in his office." A boy says to the lady at the desk. I think his name is Carlos; he was in my science class. He saw me writing down 'Kenny' all over my notebook.
Oh, Kenny is Kendall's nickname. I kind of made one up for him, without him knowing. I guess I find it cute.
Carlos sits down beside me and winks at me. A tall boy with dark brown hair follows him and sits beside him.
"So you're Logan Mitchell." Carlos says, still winking. I noticed something weird about him; He was wearing a helmet. Who brings a helmet to school?
"Uh, yeah! That's me." I smile at him, since I'm trying to make new friends. He seems nice after all.
"I'm Carlos; I was in your science class. I saw you writing 'Kenny' all over your notebook. What's that about?" He winks again. This dude seems like a people-person.
Okay he's seen me dreaming and practically drooling over a guy named Kenny. It's obvious to him that I'm gay. And plus, I'm horrible at lying.
I blush a little. "Yeah, um… I'm kind of-"
He stops me. "Gay? Yeah, I figured." I blush even harder. "Don't worry dude, I won't tell anyone. I'm also gay. And so is James." Carlos points to the dark brown-haired boy sitting beside him and James waves.
Well, even though my biggest secret was reveal to a helmet-dude that I don't even know, at least he understands. I didn't think I would ever meet another gay, especially in a high school in Minnesota. It just didn't seem like it would ever happen. But now I have a little more hope.
"So… who's Kenny?" Carlos asks.
"Oh… He's a guy I know. I saw him outside the school when we bumped into each other. He was…" I couldn't find the right words. Carlos' and James' eyes were shimmering with excitement. "But… He's probably not gay."
"You never know." Carlos winks at me, as if he knew something I didn't. This kid sure is weird. A good kind of weird.
"So, when do we meet Kenny?" James' grin is spread from ear to ear.
"Kendall. His real name is Kendall. And he probably forgot me already. It's no big deal."
The lunch bell rings and I get up to leave without saying anything else. I don't even bother looking back to Carlos or James. I need to find Kendall.
