"Hi girls!" Carlos called as Kendall jumped up.

"Hi Nikki," he said shyly as he looked at me. Apparently, he caught himself staring and cleared hi throat. "Hi Nadia," he added. I had to admit, he looked kind of cute when he was embarrassed.

"Why are we here again? I told my mom I was going to practice my tango for the stupid debutante thing and-" I cut myself off when I saw their confused faces. "My parents are making me be in this debutante thing. It's supposed to turn you into a lady or something," I explained.

"And she does not want to be in it," Nadia added. "But her parents won't listen to her."

"Is there anything else we should know about this?" Logan asked cautiously.

"He means, before we start," James added. I sighed and went on to outline my entire life to them. Well, the short version anyway.

"So you've never had a boyfriend?" Carlos asked.

"Or been out on a date?" James asked incredulously.

"For real?" Logan added.

"I'm sorry. Well, were than any previous, or current crushes you had?" Kendall asked with a grin.

Kendall's POV

I mentally kicked myself for asking that. There was no way she would have a crush on… someone whose name begins with a 'K.'I was caught off guard by her beautiful outfit. Ugh! I quickly added,

"You don't need to answer."

"Well, maybe," she said with a small smile. I felt bad for her. She was sixteen and never got to do anything regular kids got to do.

"We're here," James began.

"To help you," Carlos continued.

"Become a," Logan added.

"Rebel," I finished simply. She gaped at us, and then at Nadia.

"What?" Nikki asked, stunned.

"Come on, we're going to the club," Nadia told her.

"I have to get changed!" Nikki complained. She and Nadia started to walk toward a bathroom and we followed until she said "Alone." We grinned sheepishly as they disappeared behind the door.

Nicole's POV

Five minutes later, we were on our way to the club, whatever that is. We spent about an hour there before going to the mall, where we spent a long time.

While we were sipping sodas in the food court, I glanced at Kendall's watch and gasped, almost spilling my soda.

"What?" the five of them asked me in concern.

"It's quarter after eleven! I have to be home by 11:30!" I exclaimed.

"Let's move!" Nadia said as she grabbed my arm and started running. The boys followed, easily keeping up with us.

"Bye guys!" Nadia called with a glance at Logan before she hopped into the car. They had been flirting almost non-stop and she was pretty psyched about it.

"Thanks!" I called as Nadia pulled away from the curb.

We reached the corner with five minutes to spare and after saying good night to Nadia, I ran to the front door.

"I'm home!" I called to my parents before racing up the stairs and into my room. I flopped down on my desk chair and stared at my AIM page. Suddenly, a request came up from someone called KKBTR. Being the people person I am, I clicked allow, but was ready to block it if it was someone weird.

Who's this? I typed.

Hey Nikki, it's Kendall. Oh my gosh! I almost fell out of my chair. Kendall Knight was talking to me on AIM! I felt a feeling I had never felt before enter my body as I pictured his face.

Hi, Kendall. Thanks for tonight. What's up? I asked him.

No problem. I was wondering if you wanted to hang out again tomorrow, just you and me, maybe around seven? I didn't know why, but his message sounded shy. I smiled as I typed back my response, not even thinking about my parents' no date rule.

Sure. Then I logged off and grabbed my phone, my fluffy pink phone, grrr, to call Nadia.

"Nadia! Guess what?" I almost yelled into the phone.

"Whoa, whoa, what? You'll never believe what happened to me, but you go first," she replied.

"Kendall asked me out tomorrow night!" I whispered excitedly.

"No way! What about your parents?" She asked.

"I'll think of something. But, Nadia, I think I really like him," I confessed to my best friend.

"Oh, that's so sweet, Nik," she said.

"You're turn," I teased her.

"Logan called before and asked if I wanted to hang out!" Nadia squealed.

"That's great," I told her.

"Nikki!" My mom called suddenly.

"Nadia, I have to go," I said before hanging up. Had she heard about Kendall? I held my breath as the doorknob turned.
