NEXT TUESDAY
General P.O.V
"Ok students. Just a reminder to those who want to sign up for the concert next month. Tomorrow is the last day for sign ups. No day later." Mr. Roque announces. "Any questions?"
"Can we sing any song we want?" Nadii asks.
"You can. You can sing original songs or covers if you'd like. As long as they are appropriate for school."
"Cool." Aidi shouts. "Come on girls."
"Ok, ok." Nadii complains. "We are right behind you."
"So are we." Carlos and Logan say simultaneously.
"What song are you gonna sing?" Rose asks Kendall.
"A song we wrote last month."
Briana's turns to James. "What's it called?"
"You're gonna have to wait and find out." James says mysteriously. "Are you girls gonna sing Bri's song? The one she wrote on Saturday?"
"No, we are gonna sing separately for once." Rose comments. "But she's-"
Briana mimics, cutting her sister off. "You're gonna have to wait and find out."
The eight friends break out into laughter, for no apparent reason, and the boys sign 'Big Time Rush' with their names under it and the girl sign their names too.
"So, what are we gonna do now?" Carlos asks. "I wanna get outta here."
"Bebe, you realize we still have fifth, sixth, and seventh period left, right?"
"Damn it!"
"Let's hang out after school?" Nadii suggests.
"You act like we don't do that almost everyday." Aidi says to her twin.
"Let's go to the park instead of staying inside?" Briana suggests.
The boys of BTR agree. "Fine by us."
"Us too." After they each finish their lunches, the group of eight heads into their U.S History II classroom. They sit down in the back in pairs as usual; Aidi and Carlos, Nadii and Logan, Bri and James, and Rose and Kendall. The bell rings, signalling the end of lunch, and a blonde girl comes up to Kendall and Bri's table interrupting their conversation.
"Hey Kendall." And the blonde girl completely ignores Rose.
Kendall looks at the girl confused and annoyed that she interrupted his friend. "Hey Jo?"
Rose doesn't seem fazed by her though. "Hi, Jo!" Again she completely ignores Rose.
"Umm." Kendall looks around as Jo continues to stand in front of his desk. "Can I... uhh... Help you?"
"I was hoping you were free this week. I kinda need help rehearsing for the concert."
"Sorry, Jo. But I... uhh... Kinda already promised Rose I would teach her how to play the guitar."
Jo gives him a confused look. "I thought you did that this weekend?"
"How'd you know that?" Again Rose is fully ignored.
"We did, but you see, we didn't get much done." Rose just looks at him like if he grew three heads and Jo looks at Rose as if to confirm his story.
-Oh, so, now the bitch wants to acknowledge me.- Is all Rose thinks.
It takes Rose a minute to catch on. "Oh, yea, we didn't because we kinda had a little birthday party for him and Katie." She didn't completely lie, it was two weekends ago though not last weekend. On October thirtieth,the group and their families celebrated Kendall and Katie's birthdays together. Even though his is November second and Katie's is October sixteenth.
#Flashback#
Kendall and Rose were in the park studying the strings on the guitar and Adian and Katie were running around playing tag. While the others were at the Knight residence with Mama Knight and the other four moms excluding Mama Diamond, she couldn't make it, setting up the little surprise party; Logan, Aidi, and Carlos were getting the cake and the others cooking or decorating. Rose gets a text twenty minutes after understanding the different stings.
Were done yhu can com bak now –Bri
K b there in 10 –Rose
Take ur tym –Bri
Sure thing –Rose
"Who is it?" Kendall asks.
"It's just Bri telling me to go pick something up, she said she left something in your house."
"Oh, ok. Katie, A.J come on."
Katie comes running over to the pair panting. "Wh-where w-we go-ing?"
"We're heading back home." Kendall explains. "Rose has to get something for Bri."
The two sixteen year olds say. "Ok." They pack up everything and walk back to Kendall's house. As soon as they're about to walk in, Rose text Bri that they are there. When they walk in, all Garcias, James and Mr. Diamond, all three Mitchells, the remaining three Ortizes, and Bri and Mrs. Rivera, jump out of their hiding places yelling out surprise.
"Holy chizz noodles!" Katie yells being scared to death.
Kendall looks around in fright. "What the fleck nard?!"
"Are we going to stand here and say random things," Nadii asks. "Or celebrate your birthdays."
"Party!"
"I call the bouncy house!" Carlos shouts.
"There's a bouncy house?" Both Knight children ask.
Aidi bows down. "You're welcome!"
"Come on!" Carlos shouts bouncing in his place.
And so is Katie. "Awesome!"
"Cálmate Bebe."
Carlos looks at the Latina confused. "Why?" Aidi grabs Katie's arm.
"Ladies first." Carlos opens the back door for the girls.
"Touché and as you say, Mademoiselle."
"What a gentlemen." Both Katie and Aidi play along. "Why think you, Monsieur."
"Thank you." All the other guys let the girls go in first then head out right behind Aidi and Katie, not seemingly fazed by Carlos' actions, leaving Carlos to be the last one out. James, Logan, and Carlos' fathers leave to watch the Hockey game in the living room. And all the mothers, except Mama Luz and Mama Dalia, stare after Carlos, shocked.
"How did she do that?" Mrs. Garcia asks. "I can't even get him to use his manners when it comes to bounce houses."
"They all do things around each other that they don't normally do around us." Mrs. Mitchell responds.
"There's gotta be an explanation." Mrs. Ortiz suggests.
"They like each other." They all say at the same time and then erupt into laughter.
Mrs' Knight turns to the group of women. "Would any of you like to help me with the food?
"Why don't we all help?" Mrs. Rivera suggests.
"That would be a good idea, considering there are eight of them, plus Jowell, Angel, and Jorge, and all eight of us."The others nod in agreement and head to the kitchen.
#Flashback Ended#
"Oh, how about next week?" Jo insists.
"Oh, sorry, I gotta catch up on my hockey. If I want to make it on the team, I have to stay in shape. Plus, I have to work on my song for the concert, so I have a pretty busy schedule. Sorry."
"Oh, ok. Umm... gotta go bye." Jo runs back to her seat, after hearing the bell again, pretending that she didn't get rejected more than once. Kendall and Rose begin to whisper again.
"You're most definitely making the team, no need to practice." Rose encourages.
"Oh, I know I will."
"Then why did you say that?" Rose asks confused. "She was obviously asking you out."
"I know. I just don't like her like that." Kendall insists.
"You could've told her 'no' instead of making up an excuse."
"Well, I didn't want to be that mean." Kendall reasons. "I'm not a mean person."
"Damnit!" Rose pauses. "You got me on that one, but making up an excuse is mean too."
"I knew, I would. Plus, I kinda like someone already but-"
Rose interrupts. "Who? Tell me."
"But I am not going to tell you." Kendall sighs.
"Teww me? Pwease Kenny?" She pouts.
"No, not the puppy dog eyes!" Kendall shields his eyes. "Stop it, Rosita."
"Not until you tell me who you like."
Kendall turns away from her completely. "Not… Telling… You."
"Fine." She backs off. "But I'll find out someway somehow."
"Good luck with that."
"Well, thank you." They continue talking, ignoring the teacher, until the bell rings. After dance, they meet up with Katie and Adian and they all head up to the park. At the park the guys decide to play football, Logan as referee, and the girls decide to sit around and watch.
"C'mon girls." Aidi gets up off the ground. "Let's walk around."
Nadii looks up at her twin. "Do we have to?"
"No, but do you wanna sit around all day?"
"Nope."
"Then c'mon." The shortest Latina looks over at the guys. "Yo! We're gonna walk around."
"Alright. We'll be here." All the girls get up and start walking. Right around a half hour later, they walk past the guys for the second time. Bri stops dead in her tracks, being the one in the front, knocking the other girls over.
"Whoa!" Rose shouts. "Why'd you stop?" Bri says nothing, but points right in front of them.
Katie looks at the girls then back at the guys."Who's that?" The others follow Bri's and Katie's gaze and about ten feet away there he stands with two other guys.
"Puñeta!" Rose whispers. "What's he doing here?"
Nadii check the time. "Isn't school over at 3:30 for him?"
"Who is that?" Katie repeats.
Rose ignores Katie's question, again. "Yea, I think so."
Katie then taps Rose on the shoulder. "Umm... Do I have to repeat myself? Who. Is. That?
"Xavier Torres." Then and there Bri breaks down, bawling her eyes out.
"Not again."
"Girls?" The guys ask.
"No, bitch we're men!" Well there goes Nadii and her sass. "This is all just fake." The girls, excluding Briana, literally start rolling on the floor laughing but then they get up. In front of them are Xavier and two other boys.
Rose puts her hand on her hip. "Hi, Juan."
And Aidi crosses her arms. "Hey, Jordan." She runs up to the caramel colored (Kinda like Carlos' color) boy and pecks him on the lips. While Rose kisses the only light skinned boy in front of them.
"Hey Rosa."
"Hey Nena." Jordan pulls the Latina closer. "I missed you."
"I missed you too."
"Where's Trey?" Nadii asks not even bothering to look around.
"I don't know, he said he had work to do." Jordan answers.
"Mhhmm 'Work'." Both Aidi and Rose mumble.
Nadii clears her throat. "Ahem!" Aidi stares at her and Nadii nods her head to the direction of Briana and Katie.
"Oh, this is Katie, one of our new besties."
"Hi." Katie says shyly.
All three newcomers wave. "Hey."
"¿Qué le pasa a Nana?"
"Nada. She's... Uhh... Just... Uhh... Rose? You wanna explain?" Nadii says stuttering. Rose rolls her eyes at her cousin's nervousness.
"She had a bad day at school today and she's still not over it."
Juan turns to his girlfriend. "Oh. Well, Rosa how's it going?" Rose grabs his arm and walks away. Nadii goes back to where the guys are, going to finish her book, and Aidi and Jordan keep walking the same direction the girls were going. Leaving Katie standing there awkwardly next to a sniffling Briana and a quiet Xavi.
"Well. Uhh... Oh, look! Is that Orlando Bloom. Imma go check, peace out, bye."
"Katie!" Briana turns around facing Xavi. You can even feel the tension in the air and it's so thick you can cut it with a knife. An awkward silence comes upon them, but is broken by Xavi.
"So... Uhh, h-how you doing?"
"Fine." Briana answers stoically. "And you?"
"Could've been better."
Briana looks at her ex-boyfriend confused. "What do you mean?"
Xavi answers with a sad expression. "I don't have you by my side."
"But you do know that that can change, right?"
"I do know, pero I just can't, Nana. I can't be with you if you're gonna chill with other guys that aren't part of your family."
"That's bull. but I ain't gonna stress it." She raises her hands as in to surrender. "Imma try to move on and uhh... Next month me and the girls are gonna sing at the concert we're having with HA and our school umm... I just wanted to let you know. Y'know, just in case you wanted to stay and watch our performance, but I understand if you don't."
"I'll think about it." He nods. "I'm… imma go now. Adios Bella.
Briana looks down. "Bye." Katie comes up from around a few bushes.
"How'd it go?" Asks the younger Knight.
"Why'd you leave me alone with him!"
"Sorry." Katie looks and feels guilty. "I thought you wanted to talk to him."
"No, Kitty, sorry I just yelled at you." Briana breathes in and out slowly. "I did want to talk to him, but now that I realize, it was a bad idea, he just wants to control who I hang with."
"Let's get back to the others."
"Ok." They walk back and find everyone sitting on the ground talking and laughing. Aidi gets up and walks towards the two brunettes.
"So, how'd it go?"
"I left the two alone." Katie says and Aidi hits Katie on the arm.
"Ow!"
"Umm... we kinda talked, but still the same ol' shot." The oldest Latina sighs. "And I invited him to stay and watch our performances in the concert with HA at school."
"So did me and Rose. And Nadii asked Juan to invited Trey."
"Ok." James stands up and jogs to Bri and Katie.
"Hey, how are my two favorite girls doing?" James asks as he hugs them both, soaked and covered in sweat from football.
"Eww! Eww!" Both girls screech. "Get off me, you're all sweaty and sticky."
"You know you like the James Diamond scent." The girls escape his grasp. "Plus Bri why are you complaining? You play sports too." And he pulls said girl back into a hug. "You know you like it."
"Yea I play sports." Briana defends. "But I usually don't hug people who are sweat free after a game."
He shrugs. "Oh well." They all sit down and the guys get up again ready to play one more game. In the middle of the game the girls stand up to stretch. After they are done, Briana looks around and doesn't see any sign of the guys around. Just as she's about to call out to them, Katie, Rose, the twins, and her turn and jump back when the guys appear out of nowhere, right behind them. The guys runaway knowing what's about to come their way.
"Get your asses back here!" The girls yell.
"Come and get us chicas."
Briana puts her game face on. "Oh, they're gonna get it." The girls chase the guys for a good half hour and when they reach the guys, the girls tackle them down to the ground and start smacking them around for scaring the hell out of them. They all go home sore from all the beating and running. Forgetting about everything that happened before the chase.
