Hi guys! Thanks for all the really nice reviews! :)
And CheekyBrunette, I'm trying, I promise! But I kind of have writer's block, sorta, right now. I'm deciding what to do with Carlos. I want to incorporate more Carlos' P.O.V. but I need to think of more ways for him to bother Logan.
So this is a filler chapter. Kind of lame. I apologize!
"Hey Mom, I'm home!"
I quietly shut the front door behind me. My mom rushed out of the kitchen and pulled me into a hug.
"Hi, Logie. How was school and volunteer?" she asked, smiling.
I shrugged. Volunteer was terrible and embarrassing…
"It was pretty good, I guess."
She laughed and began to head back into the kitchen. "Well dinner's almost ready. I'll call you down."
"Are you sure you don't want me to help?" I inquired.
She looked back and nodded before she disappeared around the corner. I ran up the stairs and headed straight toward my room. I dropped my backpack somewhere on the floor and powered on my laptop. Suddenly, my ringtone I had set for James started going off.
"Hey, James!" I chirped through the phone.
"Hey, how was volunteer?"
I don't know if it was just me, but James sounded kind of smug.
"Uh, okay, I guess?"
I heard giggling on the other end.
"What?" I snapped, scowling.
"Hm? Nothing, Logie, absolutely nothing," my friend managed in between bursts of laughter.
I huffed. "James, I'm going to hang up on you if you don't stop laughing and tell me what's so damn funny!"
"Fine," James said, defeated. "You're no fun. It's just that…"
He paused.
"Don't just stop there! It's just that what?"
"You like him, don't you?"
My heart stopped and all of a sudden, my room felt unbearably hot. Everyone knows I can't lie to the people I care about, but for some reason, I couldn't say 'no.' So I just didn't say anything.
"…Logan? Are you still there? If you hung up on me, I swear—"
"I-I didn't hang up, James," I mumbled.
"Oh. Phew. So do you?"
"N-no?" I tried.
"I can tell you're lying, Logan. You suck at it."
I could feel his smirk through the phone, and I wanted to chuck my phone at the wall.
"I don't know," I quickly murmured.
"HA! I KNEW IT!" James screamed triumphantly through the phone.
"OW! James I'm right here!" I whined, rubbing my ringing ears.
He giggled. "Sorry, Logie."
"Yeah, yeah," I grumbled. "I don't think I like him. I mean, why would I? I think I hate him. Right?"
"Nope," James simply said. "You lahhhhv him."
"No, I'd lahhhhv to hit you in the pretty face right now," I growled.
"Tsk tsk, it's not nice to hit your best bud, you know?"
"Who said you're my best friend?" I joked.
I heard a 'hmph!' on the other end and I laughed.
"Well then, I'll just tell Carlos about your little—"
My eyes widened. "WHAT? JAMES DIAMOND, YOU BETTER KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT YOU LITTLE—"
"Okay, I'm going to stop you before your dirty mouth cusses me out, Logie. I was just joking. I'm not going to tell anyone, alrighty?"
"Not even Kendall, okay?"
"B-but—!"
"No buts! If you tell him, I won't tell you anything anymore, okay?" I threatened, voice low. "And besides, I don't even know how I feel about Carlos. All I know is he confuses me. He's like a stupid puzzle I can't seem to figure out."
I sighed. "I don't know. But I think he knows something."
"Why would you say that?"
"Today, he asked me some really awkward questions like if I think he looks like a puppy or something. And then he proceeded to tell me all the things he likes about me, which was super awkward," I explained.
The brunette snickered, and I wanted to punch him.
"I see," he replied, managing to contain his giggles. "Sly bastard!"
"Did you say something?" I shot, eyes narrowed. I could've sworn he whispered something like "sly bastard."
"Nope," he quickly answered. "Nothing."
"Wait… you wouldn't happen to know anything about him… do you?"
He gulped. "Pft no, why would I?"
"You seem unsurprised and thoroughly amused. Do you know something that I don't?"
"Relax, Logie. I think this confusion's been messing with your brain."
I let out a breath of relief. "Yeah, probably. Man, I hate how Dr. Bass thinks Carlos and I are friends. I really don't want to be around him anymore; it's too awkward."
"Yeah, after you ran out of the room blushing. I have to admit that was kind of funny," he agreed.
I chuckled softly, then gasped.
"Wait! Diamond, I never told you about how I reacted…" I remembered.
"Um, bye Logan!" he blurted.
"JAMES! DON'T HANG UP ON—"
Beep.
I groaned and threw my phone aside. What the hell was James hiding from me? How did he know about all this? And why does Carlos make me feel so confused? Too many questions, so little answers and everyone knows I hate not knowing things.
I know, it was really short. I'm sorry.
I'm going to make drama start up soon.
Well first humor, and then drama! :)
Leave reviews~.
