That Would Be Too Weird

"Katie, wake up." I heard Sarah's voice in my ear, which was a sad reminder that I had to get to classes soon.

After the totally fun weekend I just had with the guys, I refused to leave my room to go back to college. Eventually Kendall had to literally pick me up and drag me out to the car so he and mom could drive me back to UCLA. I have a license by my mom always insists on driving me herself. Some sort of bonding I think. Anyway, Sarah could tell that I wasn't happy that I had to wake up; I could see it in her face when I glanced at her, wondering how she was able to get up so early. But I could also see something else in her face, the look that she wanted to get some dirt out of me.

"What?" I asked, not really in the mood for whatever she had to say. "What question about the guys do you want to ask?" I turned towards her and raised an eyebrow as I pulled my hair up into a ponytail. "Is it true that James wears boxers to sleep or does Carlos really sleep with a stuffed animal?" I smiled a little bit when I thought of a few of the many stupid questions that they were asked for magazines.

"That's not really what I wanted to know," Sarah replied as she placed her hands on her hips and looked at me in only a way that an adult could. It was a look that held a mixture of annoyance for being interrupted and sternness. The only way that she could manage that was because she had an 'old soul'. (At least that's what she says.) But then she cocked an eyebrow. "But is that true?"

"Yes with the boxers, no with the stuffed animal." I replied and smiled a little. "At least, not for the past two years." I laughed a little bit. "Actually, Kendall and I were the ones that took the stuffed animal from him." I shook my head, smiling proudly at the thought. "And Carlos still doesn't know that we just shoved it to the back of Kendall's bed."

"Interesting," Sarah smiled and then shook her head. "No, what I wanted to know was what happened after you dropped off me and Charlie back home."

"How is Charlie by the way?" I asked as I walked around Sarah and went over to my closet to get my towel and shower caddie. If you didn't hurry and get a shower in the morning, there would be absolutely no hot water left in the afternoon. And I couldn't be any crankier than I was when I didn't get a hot shower.

Kendall knew that really well and I'm sure that he wouldn't take all of the hot water at home anymore.

Not after what happened last time, but that's another story.

"She had a hangover so bad she was bitching at everyone," Sarah replied and then shrugged. "Not that that's any different, she's always like that," She grabbed onto my shoulder as I started to walk past her and then fixed me with one of her mischievous smiles. "No, what happened with you and Logan?"

"What?" I laughed shortly. "Nothing! He took me home and the guys crashed at my house, annoying me all weekend." I held up my hands as she continued to stare at me. "And that's it! Nothing else happened, they're my friends. My brothers! All of them!"

"Oh yeah?" Sarah went over to her dresser and picked up a newspaper, flipping through a few pages before thrusting it at me. "Then what's this?" I scoffed as I took the paper from her and scanned the page, seeing that there was a picture of James and me from the ice rink, where he was helping me skate. I handed it back to her. "Nothing huh? According to this you two are getting pretty cozy."

"Also according to that, someone married Bigfoot and we all know that that can't happen." I rolled my eyes and picked up my shower caddie again. "I've always told you, Sarah, don't trust the tabloids."

"Whatever you say, Knight." Sarah gathered her books and put them in her backpack before slinging it over her shoulder. "You only have History today, right?" she raised her eyebrows in question. "Meet up to go to lunch?"

"Of course." I replied with a nod and grinned as I rubbed my stomach. "Sushi and then Split a plate of barbecue, the typical lunch on Monday afternoons." I brushed my hair over my shoulder and pulled open the door to our dorm. "See you later."

I left my dorm room and headed towards the communal bathroom, greeting some of my friends along the way and laughing when I saw some people racing up and down the hallway on bounce-arounds. Our hall was known to be the partiers and that wasn't completely true, we kept our grades up, but we liked to have a good time. I quickly acquired an empty shower, mentally doing a happy dance and shed my clothes and got into the warm spray of water, smiling as it ran through my hair and down my back. I grabbed my bottle of shampoo and pumped a little bit of the gel into my hands and started to work it through my hair as I thought about what Sarah had said earlier.

Me having a thing for one of the guys, that's just stupid…and sort of true.

I chuckled to myself as I remembered when I was young and when James was convinced that I had a crush on him. It got so bad that I had to go and trick him into signing a contract that said that I had never had and never will have a crush on him.

But that wasn't completely true. I'll admit I had liked him for like a second back when I was eight, before I even really knew what a crush was. Looking back on it now, the only thing that I had ever done to try and get his attention was by changing my hair a little bit.

I had put the curlers in my hair the night before, then in the morning I spent twenty-five minutes sticking all the little bobby pins in it, just to keep it right. I was hoping maybe you'd smile in my direction, or even tell me it looked nice. I even put on nicer clothes. (This is stupid because being eight you didn't really have nice clothes besides t-shirts and shorts.) And…nothing happened.

And then I realized how stupid I was being, how guys were a complete waste of time, and that I was going to spend the rest of my time trying to scam people out of money.

But seriously me dating any of the guys? Well, it would only be between James and Logan as Carlos and Stephanie have been dating for forever. Which reminds me…I have to figure out why Logan and Camille really broke up.

But me and James?

Me and Logan?

EW! No Way!

"Kates, are you ok?" I heard a girl in the stall next to me ask. I could feel my face turning red as I shook my head, even though I knew she couldn't see me. I must have said that out loud.

"I'm fine!" I called back as cheerfully as possibly, trying not to cringe in disgust.

There was no way that I was going to date one of those two.

That would be too weird.

A/N: Shorter chapter, but I wanted to show you guys Katie's thoughts for now. The next one will show more of Katie during her classes in college and it will go back to her interactions with the guys.
