Hi Guys and welcome back to Rekindled! So this is a chapter that many of you guys in the reviews don't seem to excited about, due to something that I hinted at. But let's crack on, and see what you think!

Kendall's POV:
As expected, the library at this time was mostly empty. There was one student getting on with some work but that was pretty much it, so as usual I made my way over to the desk in the centre of the room, getting out all of my biology work. Glancing up at the other student, I noticed that he was from my biology class, but I was unsure of his name. He glanced back up, as we locked eyes causing me to blush and smile at him. He chuckled, smiling back and waving slightly. He had light brown hair, with was styled so it was off his forehead, and an ear stud in his right ear. His glasses had a black frame at the front, and the temples of the glasses were white, which suited his face perfectly, including his beautifully chiselled jaw. He nodded his head my way, and I could feel myself blush as he did so, causing him to chuckle once again.

I looked away, trying to focus on the revision in front of me, going over some of the stuff that Mrs Taylor had told me would be on the test. Every now and again, I would look up and see the mysterious pretty boy writing something, or tapping his pencil the desk, which I found adorable. Moving onto a confusing topic, I couldn't help but left out a series of huffs, or "what the hell" every now and again, and I could hear him chuckling slightly. I looked up, seeing him smiling at me, which caused me to blush and also chuckle for some reason.

"Stuck?" I heard him ask, and I nodded my head.

"Yeah, I'm trying to do some biology, but I'm so confused" I chuckled back, smiling as I did so.

"Well, maybe I could help? I'm in your class" he replied, and I must have blushed as red as an apple. "Yeah, I'd appreciate that" was all I could respond with, as I saw him pack up his stuff, and move over right next to me. Again, I must have blushed even deeper, having him this close to me, and I could help but get a little bit nervous as a result.

"Ah, I can see why your confused, you're doing enzymes and chromatography" he joked, causing me to nod. "Yeah, it took me all week to get my head around this" he continued, now leaning a little bit closer to me, using the excuse of pulling my text book a little closer. Trying to maintain my cool, I allowed him to explain the topic to me, and he made it seem so easy.

"God, you're a genius" I complimented, and this time it caused him to blush.

"I'm not that smart, I mean I struggled with it too" he replied, still leaning in quite close to me. I playfully tapped him on the arm, trying desperately to engage in any type of physical contact with him while speaking up again.

"Give yourself more credit, I wouldn't have got this without you" I replied, causing a playful smirk to grow on his face.

"You know, maybe we should meet up more often, so I can help you study" he suggested, now looking deep into my eyes, as I looked into his. They were a beautiful blue colour, and seemed to fit him so perfectly.

"Yeah, I'd like that" I replied, causing a smile to grow on both our faces.

"Kendall?" I heard a voice speak up out of nowhere, ruining the little moment me and this mystery guy were sharing. "You ready to head off?" the voice continued and I looked up to see James staring down at me.

"Y-Yeah, let me just pack up" I replied, grabbing my stuff of my desk. "Thank you for helping… sorry I didn't catch your name" I said to my mystery man, blushing massively as I did so.

"That's because I didn't give it to you" he replied, rather suggestively, causing me to blush even more. "It's Dylan"

"Well, thank you Dylan for the help, and I hope we can do it again sometime" I continued, hoping he'd take the hint, which he did.

"Yeah. I hope this isn't too forward, but can I give you my number? You know, so we can meet up and study?" he replied, that beautiful smirk on his face once again.

"Yeah" I replied, pulling my phone out of my pocket. "Sorry about my phone, it's not the greatest thing" I joked, as he started to type his name and number.

"I think it's cute. Just like you" he replied, handing my phone back to me. I heard James clear his throat behind us, and I jumped slightly. "I'll see you around Kendall" he said, throwing his bag over his shoulder.

"You too, Dylan" I replied, as James cleared his throat once again. This time I actually paid attention, following him out of the library, but every now and again, looking over my shoulder to see Dylan smiling at me, which I obviously returned.

"So, Dylan hey? He seems nice" James began, and I couldn't help but notice the jealousy and spite in his voice.

"Yeah, he is. He helped me with some work" I replied, my head still floating in the clouds over the events that had just transpired. I followed James out of the building, and met up with everyone else, who sarcastically clapped and wooed when we left the building.

"Took you long enough" Lucy spoke up, causing me to roll my eyes, while James replied

"Sorry, Kendall was trying to get into some dude's pants" the spite and jealously still present.

"Who? What dude?" Camille asked, followed by Carlos.

"Yeah, who dude?" James obviously took this as a chance to jump on the bandwagon as well.

"Yeah, Kendall who?" he scolded, which I ignored, still floating on Cloud 9.

"Dylan. He's in my biology class" I replied, causing a few of the girls to squeal.

"Oh my god, no way! He's super cute" Camille said, causing Jo to mock offence. "Sorry babe, but it's true" Camille replied, kissing Jo on the cheek as she did so.

"I know. He has beautiful blue eyes, and I love his glasses" I replied, staring at the school doors, hallucinating him coming out.

"Hey Kendall" the hallucination spoke, but I snapped out of it, and realised it was him. I blushed massively, looking down at the floor and back up at him before I managed a "hey" which he chuckled and smirked at, as he continued to walk by.

"He is cute!" I heard Jo speak up, as we all stared at him, watching him get into his car.

"He's not that cute" James tried to mumble under his breath, but I didn't work to tell, as we all heard him.

"Jealous much?" Logan commented, as we began our walk away from the school.

"What? Me? Jealous?" James replied, very clearly faking a laugh at the end of his sentence, one that no one was buying.

"Whatever" Logan scoffed, causing me to smirk slightly. The walk to Lucy's house wasn't too bad, and I texted Jennifer the address like I promised would. As soon as we arrived, I asked Lucy where the toilet was, and made my way to where she pointed. Relieving myself, I started to walk back to the living room, where I could hear everyone talking. At the mention of my name, and I stopped, and listened properly.

"I'm sorry James, but there not much we can do." Camille spoke up, her voice soft but firm.

"I know, but it's difficult to see him with someone else! Especially the way he was gushing over him. Do you remember when that was me?" James replied, and I could hear the hurt in his voice.

"Of course we do James, but remember what we promised Kendall? We can't force him to act the way he used to be, and I know it's difficult but we need to let the old him go" Lucy spoke up, and I could hear James sniffle.

"I know, believe me I know, but it doesn't help when I still love him, and I never even got the chance to tell him that" he replied, and it was tugging my heartstrings a little bit. He obviously loved me…Kendall, but I can't let that hold me back. I like Dylan, and I'm not going to force myself into a relationship with James, just because him and Kendall dated. Putting an end to their conversation, I quietly walked back down the hallway, before walking towards them rather loudly. Hopefully they got the hint, and stopped talking about it.

When I walked in, I could see the girls were sat next to James, while the guys were on the floor beside him. It was obvious who they were siding with in this situation. I walked over to one of the sofa's, trying to avoid eye contact with James, but it was pretty difficult considering everyone was fussing around him, and his eyes were still red and puffy from all the crying.

"Shall we stick on a movie?" I heard Lucy say, finally breaking the awkward atmosphere in the room.

"Yeah, that sounds like a great idea" Camille spoke up, walking over to the TV and turning it on. James mumbled something about being one second, and quickly made his way out of the room, and I knew it would be best if I left him some space. Camille and Lucy picked a movie, which looked like it was only an hour and a half long, and that was great for me as I knew I could leave after it. Lucy brought a few snacks in from the kitchen, but for the whole movie, I remained seated not really saying much. I was having an internal struggle between James and Dylan, and I think seeing all the happy couples in the room didn't help. Carlos was snuggled up into Logan lap while Logan combed through his hair, and Camille was also cuddled up into Jo. The two arguments going throw my head were 'James loves you' and 'No, James loves Kendall, not you' and both sides were making some pretty convincing arguments.

Eventually the side arguing for Dylan won out, with the straight up fact that I don't remember anything with James. I mean sure, there was photographic and video evidence, and I did lose my memory, but as bad as it sounds, I have never felt anything for James. Sure he was cute, hot even, but after everything that has happened, I couldn't risk a relationship with him. I zoned back in, seeing the movie was scrolling through the credits, meaning I had literally just wasted an hour and a half, not that it mattered.

"Another one?" I heard Lucy ask, looking around the room, seeing everyone else nod, with only made my situation even more awkward.

"Um, I'm gonna head off. Thank you for tonight, and I'll see you guys on Monday" I replied, getting up from the chair, and pulling my phone out, shooting Jennifer a quick message.

"Are you sure? You don't have to go" Lucy replied, but I shook my head.

"Nah, it's probably for the best." I replied, looking straight at James as I said it. "I'm a little tired and got a bit of a headache" I lied, trying to get out of it as soon as possible.

"Ok, but we're hanging out tomorrow if you want to join?" she continued to persist, and I just chuckled.

"Maybe, I'm got some stuff planned for tomorrow, so don't hold out any hopes" I lied once again, seeing Jennifer pull up outside. "Well, that's my ride, so I'll see you guys on Monday" I said, essentially running out of the house and to the car.

"Woah, calm down, or you'll yank the door off" Jennifer joked as the car door swung open, and I slammed it shut.

"Sorry, it's just been a stressful day" I replied, buckling my seat belt as Jennifer placed her hand on my knee.

"Why don't you tell me about it" she replied, as we pulled off from Lucy's house. Jennifer was great when I told her the whole story, not interrupting me at all, but I could see she was considering what she was going to say. I took most of the drive back to explain, and it wasn't until we were pulling up on the drive that she spoke up.

"I just want everyone to treat me normally" I said, as I grabbed the door handle, ready to get out of the car. Before I could, she grabbed my arm, and I turned to face her, seeing that she was ready to speak up.

"I know people keep comparing you Kendall, and James is being funny with you, but what you've gotta remember is that it's only been two days. It can take people months to fully grieve a loss, and you can't be too hard of them for comparing you as well. Most of them have probably know you…Kendall for the majority of their lives. This is just a big change for everyone, and it's going to take some time for them to adjust" Jennifer reasoned while we were in the car, and once again, she made some pretty valid points. In my head, I made everyone else out to be the bad guys, but all along, they were just trying to adapt to the new situation and grieve for their best friend. And James…poor James. He's been so used to a Kendall who's been in love with him for two years, and in the last two days, his whole world was crumbled around him.

"Why am I such a dick" I asked, slumping back into the seat of the car. I heard Jennifer chuckle next to me, before placing a hand on my knee.

"Don't worry about it Kendall, it's new to you as well" was all she replied with, as she stepped out of the car, leaving me to stew in a pit of eternal despair. Ok, so that was a bit far, but I think my point was made. Jennifer unlocked the front door of the house, and then turned back to me, staring at me through the windshield. She didn't say anything, but just nodded her head towards the front door, something I took as 'hurry the fuck up.' Groaning, I pulled myself from the seat, and approached her.

"Do you think I should stop flirting with Dylan" I tried to continue our conversation, as I saw her lock the car behind me, while I stepped through the front door.

"That's a difficult one. I think that if you choose to continue, you shouldn't flaunt it in front of James. I mean, he's going through enough as it is, and he doesn't need to see you being all happy with a new partner" Jennifer replied, as she shut the door behind the pair of us.

"Thank you, Jennifer. For everything" I replied, pulling her into a hug. She was shocked at first, but quickly returned it as the two of us settled. It only lasted about 5 seconds before I pulled out.

"Don't mention it" She said, smiling down at me, which settled my nerves. "And dinner will be about an hour" she continued, as she settled back into her usual motherly routine. I nodded, before grabbing my bag, and making my way upstairs to continue studying for the test.

The rest of the evening passed relatively easily, with us having dinner, and talking about our days, only to then spend the evening watching a film together which was nice.

Saturday:
I spent the morning offering to help Jennifer with any chores or basically anything. I knew I didn't need to, but I felt like I wanted to try and earn my keep in the house. After all, she was feeding me, and providing a roof over my head, so it was the least I could do. She said that it wasn't necessary, but I kept prodding until she gave me something to do. I helped hoover the house, as well as fold some washing, and before long she told me just to go and have some fun. The initial thought I got was what Lucy had said about hanging out, but I quickly dismissed that, deciding it probably wouldn't end well if I went.

I decided on my guitar, and to keep the noise down, I went to the back garden where I could hopefully play without being distracted. I followed the instructions in the book and continued to persevere until I got the slightly hang of it. It wasn't until I heard someone speak up that I snapped out of my little bubble.

"You look like you're plenty busy" the voice said, and I looked up to see Logan stood in front of me, a smirk present on his face. He was obviously happy that he had caught me out.

"Logan, w-w-what are you doing here?" I stuttered, not sure on what to actually say. It was quite obvious that I had bailed on them, so I could now only hope that he wasn't pissed at me.

"Well, I was walking past when I heard someone strumming a guitar, and a very familiar voice say 'fuck.' Turns out it was you" Logan said in a rather smug tone, which kinda pissed me off.

"So, that's it, you're gonna rat me out. Tell everyone that I'd rather stay at home then hang out with you guys?" I replied, deciding to put straight to the point. What's the point of pissing about when it's clear he's caught me. After I said that, his expression softened slightly as he started to approach me.

"Kendall, I just want to know why" Logan replied, and I just sighed, now staring back down at the book.

"Do you want me to be honest?" I asked, Logan, looking back up to see him nod his head. "I know you guys are trying to be nice to me and all, but to me it feels like I've only been alive for about four days, and most of the memories I have are either crying, being angry or both. And to be honest, a lot of that is over you guys. I know you guys are trying to be nice and all, but I think I just need a few days alone. To get my head around things and all. So please could you give me that?" I ask, causing Logan to simply nod.

"Of course. I guess, I'll see you in Monday" he replied, with a small smile before walking away.

Trying to shake away the guilty feeling, I returned my attention to the guitar, and continue to attempt some sort of song.

Yes, I am that much of a dick, having Kendall flirt with Dylan in front of James. It makes good story telling right? Please don't kill me. KAMES IS THE END GOAL, TRUST ME!

I want to say a massive thank you to the Guest, RainbowDiamonds and Winterschild11 for reviewing the last chapter, and I am sorry that I'm putting you through all this emotional turmoil. I promise it will resolved...in about 12 chapters. Now, I'm realising how much of a dick I am. PLEASE DON'T HATE ME. *Single tear rolls down face* At least we all got past the fact that I'm a guy, so positive thinking! :P

As for Class Vs Character, I'm going to continue uploading that when Water Under the Bridge finishes, so that will be 14th May, and I have to admit that I'm enjoying writing that story so far, which is always a good sign.

I will see you guys on Monday for the next chapter of Water Under the Bridge, but until then,

TTFN :D
