Chapter 10: Racing

"On your mark-"

"You guys are so going down!" Carlos exclaimed loudly before slapping his helmet.

"Oh yeah? Just wait til you eat my dust." James replied cockily.

"-Get set-"

"Please. You both are going down to the ground." Logan jumped in and Kendal scoffed.

"Are you serious? Get ready to be crushed." the blonde promised.

"-GO!" Katie yelled and the four boys in the apartment raced out the door. Well, only Carlos made it through the door safely. Logan, Kendall and James all fell down on top of each other by trying to go through the door at the same time. As they struggled to get up, they heard Carlos' gleeful shout, "What dust, Jamie? I think you ate it all up! HA HA HA!" they heard the sound of a hand slapping a helmet twice before Carlos was gone.

"Look what you two did!" James huffed as he wiggled out from under Logan.

"Look what we did? Oh please. Next time-" Logan started but Katie cut in.

"Guys. Are you gonna sit here all day and let Carlos win? Or are you going to get up and move?"

"That's what were trying to do, Baby Sister." Kendall puffed out while wiggling out from under the two bodies. After a few seconds, he was succesful. "HA! See ya later losers!" the blonde ran through the door and Logan, out of competitive anger, roughly shoved James away from him. The two were free and they both jumped to their feet before racing out the door after their two friends.

Katie calmly walked after them.

Outside, Kendall could see Carlos' running figure a few yards ahead. Then, the blonde could hear thundering footsteps pounding on the pavement and he whipped around to see James and Logan with fierce expressions on their faces. Carlos apparently heard as well, because all three boys could hear his girly scream. Both he and Kendall began pushing themselves to out run their kind of angry friends.

"LOSERS?" Logan yelled and Kendall squeaked when he felt the brunette's hands brush against his shirt.

"YOU THINK I 'ATE IT ALL UP'?" James bellowed and suddenly it hit Kendall and Carlos that this wasn't a race anymore. It was now about surviving so their friends won't kill their asses.

Kendall zoomed ahead and soon found himself running along side Carlos. "Buddy," he panted out. "I'm sorry for everything in life I did to you that was mean. I can't remember them all now, but I just wanted you to know that whatever happens, I love you, man."

Carlos sniffed and nodded. "Same. And I love you too, Kenny." then Carlos shrieked when Kendall was barreled over by Logan and he screamed. "KENDALL! I'M SO SORRY- AYIIIHA!"

The scream that left Carlos' mouth was... interesting. James slammed his body into the smaller boy, making him fall down like a sack of bricks. "Yeah, eat this 'Litos!" he growled before tickling the boy.

"Ha ha ha ha, s-stop!" Carlos whined while laughing. They heard loud laughter from Kendall and Carlos knew his friend was getting the same treatment. Then they heard Logan shriek and then his laughter.

That wasn't suppose to happen. James, while keeping his hands busy on Carlos' sensitive body, saw Kendall atop of the shorter boy and his hands working all over Logan's tickle spots.

"J-J-JAMES!" he yelled. The pretty boy dragged Carlos over to their other friends by his feet before yelling "SWITCH!" and shoving Kendall off of Logan. Logan jumped on Carlos and continued James' assault.

James was straddling Kendall's hips while the blonde had tears streaming down his face. "OkAY okay okay oka-hey-hey-hey!" James began laughing with Kendall and tickled him for a few more minutes before stopping. Logan stopped as well before collapsing beside a tired looking Carlos.

Kendall curled himself up in a ball while taking deep breaths to calm himself. James threw his leg over the blonde's body while his own was sprawled out on the grass. The only thing heard between to four boys was their hard panting.

"I need to peeeee." Carlos whined after several moments of silence.

"Me too." Kendall sighed before shoving James' leg off him, "Thanks a lot."

"Serves you right." Logan retorted.

"You love us." the pretty boy replied as well, a bit cocky.

"Ksh, no we don't." Kendall retorted.

"Don't deny it, Kenny." Logan cooed from his place beside Carlos. Carlos was on his stomach while Logan leaning against his back, his arms resting against the Latino's back.

"I'm in full denial." Kendall mumbled with his eyes closed.

"Wow." a voice from above spoke up. The boys looked up to see Katie standing there with her hands on her hips. "That had to have been the worst race ever."

"Yeah, we know." Carlos whined. The girl rolled her eyes.

"So, are you four just going to lie hear forever now?"

Logan nodded. "Seems like a good plan, don't you think, guys?"

"Yeah, I'm pretty comfortable." James said while putting both his feet up onto Kendall's body. Kendall groaned but made no move to shove them off again.

"Same here." Logan grinned from his position on Carlos' back. The girl just rolled her eyes and walked away.

A/N ._. Sorry if this was bad. Sorry for the wait as well. Me thinks updating everyday will not work anymore. Because I need to work on the other chapters, so yeah. X]
