Author's note: YEY OMG IT'S CHAPTER TEN. PARTAY!
It's my longest chapter till now. And I love it. I think it's my best up till now. Review please.
I feel a little bad for poor Logie. But the end makes it all worth.
I am writing at a Christmas one-shot, which I will upload with Christmas.
I don't really know how the American school system works, since I live in the Netherlands, but I hope you can forgive any faults I made.
Disclaimer: I do not own BTR... yet. As I said, I have put them on my Christmas list. I really hope Santa can make it happen. Christmas miracles ;)
Logan was getting ready for school. He really didn't want to go, but he hadn't missed a day this semester yet. Besides he hated skipping school if it wasn't absolutely necessarily. And it was Kendall's first day, and Logan wasn't going to miss it. Kendall would probably find out he was gay and leave him. Before that would happen Logan wanted to spend a little more time with the blond haired angel.
When Logan was properly dressed het went downstairs. His mother was sitting at the table reading a paper and drinking from her cup of coffee. Logan got a cup himself and a bowl of cereal and joined his mother at the table. "Good morning, baby," his mother greeted him. "Good morning, mom," Logan said, yawning. He ate his cereal and drank his coffee. He just finished putting his shoes on when the doorbell rung. It was probably James. His father gave them a ride every morning, because it was on the route to his work. Logan got in his jacket, yelled a goodbye to his mother, grabbed his backpack and opened the door. It was indeed James. Logan could see Kendall already sitting in the car of Mr. Diamond. Logan got in next to Kendall, while James got back in the front seat. "Are you ready for your first day?" Logan asked Kendall. "No," Kendall answered, playing nervously with the zipper of his coat. "It will be alright," Logan said, although he didn't really believe himself. "Yeah, we'll help you through your first day," James said reassuringly. "Thanks, guys," Kendall said.
Once they had picked up Carlos, it was just five more minutes 'till they reached the school. Logan, James and Carlos walked Kendall to the secretary. "Hello boys, what can I do for you?" Mrs. Williams asked. "We've got Kendall Knight, the new student, with us. He needs his timetable and locker code and stuff," Logan answered. "Okay, let me see. Kendall Knight. Ah, here I have it. There you go, kid," she said while handing Kendall some papers. James picked Kendall's timetable from the stack and compared it with his own. "We've got physics and history together," he said. Carlos pulled the paper from James hands and scanned through it. "Oh, I've got P.E. and Spanish with you. I didn't know you had Spanish," Carlos said. Kendall shrugged. "I like learning new languages. My dad has taught me how to speak French, and when I saw this school offered Spanish I couldn't pass the opportunity," Kendall explained. "Oh, we all have homeroom together, that's amazing," Carlos said happily. Then Logan laid his hands on Kendall's timetable. He saw that he and Kendall both had advanced English. They also had history and P.E. together. "It seems you only have math without any of us," Logan said while handing Kendall back his timetable.
First they had homeroom together. Kendall had to introduce himself. He was slightly embarrassed standing in front of all those people he didn't know.
Logan didn't have any more classes with Kendall until lunch break. He could hear the whispers and rumors behind his back, but he choose to ignore them.
He sighed when he heard the bell, signaling him it was time for lunch. He walked to his locker before going to the canteen. But before he could reach it, three bullies stopped him. "Well, well, well, who do we have here? If it isn't our little fag, roaming the halls on his own," the biggest, their leader, said, while he shove Logan hard into the wall. Logan fell down and tried to scramble away from the three bullies. "Where are your precious friends now, little fag? Did they realize they didn't want to be with a pathetic fag anymore? That they could have better friends?" he taunted. "Let's see if we can beat the fag out of him," one of the other bullies suggested. "I wouldn't do that if I were you," a cold, menacing, low voice came from behind the three bullies. They turned around and were then facing a pissed off Kendall. "You want to defend the little fag, new kid? Bring it!" the leader said. He was a few inches taller than Kendall and twice as heavy. "Yeah, and I would run. I was on the kickboxing team of my previous school. I was the state champion. I was known for beating at least three guys like you for breakfast," Kendall threatened. "I hope you two fags have a really bad fuck for the rest of your lives. Fags like you don't deserve any better," the leader said. He was attempting to sound tough, but Logan could hear the obvious fear in his voice. Kendall shot them a dead glare, and all three of them run as fast as they could possibly go.
"Thanks, Kendall," Logan said hesitantly, not knowing if he should hug his savior, or if he should run for his life, like those bullies. "Don't mention it," Kendall said as he helped Logan up. Logan dusted himself off. "Logan, we need to talk," Kendall said exactly what Logan was dreading to hear. "I suppose, but can we first have lunge. And please can we not have the talk in school. Words travel fast here!" Logan said. Kendall nodded and smiled warmly at him. Logan was glad that Kendall didn't seem to push him away even though he now knew Logan was gay. They walked to the canteen and got in the queue for lunch. They got a plate each and joined Carlos and James at their table. They chatted a little. It seemed that Kendall was okay, but that he wasn't really keen on making other friends. He had heard the rumors about Logan already, but assured the other boy that he didn't care about it.
The rest of their day went by fairly smoothly. Logan hadn't anymore run-ins with bullies, for which he should probably thank Kendall. Logan didn't know that boy could be so scary. But people were whispering and glaring more, it seemed. All in all, Logan was glad when his day was over.
After school, the boys decided to go to James's house. They took the bus, like always. Logan and Kendall were sitting next to each other and James and Carlos were sitting behind them. Kendall couldn't stop bouncing his legs and fumbling with his hands. Logan saw how nervous Kendall was, and with each passing moment, it became worse. "Sit still, Kendall," he complained against the taller boy. Kendall stopped bouncing his leg up and down, but was still fumbling with his hands.
They finally got to James's house. Logan couldn't stand the nervousness from Kendall anymore and hoped the boy would tell them soon what was on his mind.
Once inside the house the boys greeted Mrs. Diamond and went up to James's room.
"Okay, Kendall, what's making you so nervous?" James asked bluntly. "Before I tell you, I need to check something first. Logan, is it true what they say?" Kendall asked softly. "Yeah, so what. Got a problem with that?" Carlos jumped in for Logan's defense. Logan looked up to the blonde sitting across from him. He tried to read his expression, but all he saw was sincerity and care. "Cool down, Carlos, I didn't mean anything by it," Kendall said. Carlos was starting an apology, but Kendall cut him off. "You don't apologize for it. If it was you asking a friend of mine such a question, and that friend was already an outcast because of it, I would have reacted the same way. But anyway, I need to confess something: I'm gay, too," Kendall said it so casually that I didn't understand what he was saying at first. But then it dawned on me.
"Seriously?" James asked. Kendall nodded. Logan got his senses back and asked the first thing on his mind.
"Do you want to go out on a date?"
