Wow, I'm updating both of my stories in one day... Um, I just realized that I never gave this story a proper setting. So I decided that this is all set in Duluth, Minnesota. I'm from Australia, so uh, yea... not very good at this. Another thing, the schooling system is different in Australia so in future chapters, if I ever get it wrong then please tell me :) I think I've bored you with this so I'll just do the shoutouts now :)

Grayhap: When Amber lied about being Logan's girlfriend, could that have been her subconscious mind speaking? ;) Thanks for always taking the time to review, I really appreciate it! :D

BTR-maslow-luv97: Oh my gosh. STOP GUESSING MY PLOT! And the panties plan... Lucy needed to do something to bring Logan and Amber closer. When you said Logan's always prepared I started laughing so hard and then my family gave me weird looks... Amber knows she secretly wants to be Logan's girlfriend mhm. I should just get them together already. BUT that would be too easy... so I'm gonna wait a bit hehe. You'd be crazy to not want to wake up in James' arms! I definitely wouldn't mind at al :D I'm superdupermega happy you liked the chapter! Thanks for your FANTABULOUS reviews, they mean so much :) *random virtual hug*

I came to a halt, staring at the figure in my living room. My jaw dropped. He smirked at me, brown eyes staring into my own.

"Hey Amber."

I continued to stare at him, the smirk never leaving his face. "That's not how you greet family now, is it?"

"ELLIOT!" Grinning widely I ran up to him, hugging him as tight as I could.

Elliot hugged me back and chuckled at my excitement. "I missed you big bro, a lot." I told him after we let go of each other.

"Same here sis."

"You didn't have to clean the whole freaking house, you know." I gestured around me, specifically to the living room, which was now clean and free of all the popcorn and lolly packets that were there last night.

"Guess it's just the neat freak in me," Elliot grinned. "Now let's catch up. I bet you've got so much to tell me."

We sat across from each other on the couch for a few hours, just talking about what we did in the year and a half we haven't seen each other. Elliot's only a year older than me, so he's still in his last year of high school. Turns out he stayed in the last city we lived in and continued to go to the private school we attended, since our parents also trust him to live alone. I was in the middle of telling him about my friends when I heard the doorbell.

When I opened the door Lucy and Kendall came in. "Hey Amber," Kendall spoke. "Wanna go- WHOA WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND?!"

Elliot looked just as confused as I did at those words.

"Um, Kendall, this is my b-"

"Boyfriend, I know!" Kendall cut me off an sighed. "Do you know how pissed off Logan's gonna be when he sees you've had a boyfriend all this time? Huh? That means he's been flirting with you while you're TAKEN!"

I wacked Kendall upside the head. "Shut up Kendall! As I tried to say before, this is my brother. NOT my boyfriend." Kendall's cheeks turned red as he looked away. "Guys, this is Elliot. Elliot, these are my stupid but lovely friends Kendall and Lucy."

Lucy spoke up. "So, you have a brother?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Uh, yeah. I never told you?"

"So first you don't tell us how you're a model, and now you don't tell us about your brother. You're very forgetful." She tapped my nose.

Kendall's eyes went wide. "YOU'RE A MODEL?!"

"Yep. But I haven't done any modelling jobs for a few months because I took a break from it." Kendall nodded in understanding.

After about a minute of awkward silence Elliot turned to me. "So who's this 'Logan' guy you've been flirting with?"

And here it is! The over protective brother side of him.

I face palmed. "Over-protective brother... That is the only thing I did not miss about you."

"Speaking of Logan," Kendall grabbed my wrist. "I need to talk to you." Before I could reply he took me to the kitchen. As we left the room I could hear Elliot asking Lucy, "So who's Logan?"

Oh no. That's not going to end well for me.

"So uh, about this morning..." Kendall trailed off.

"What about this morning?"

"What were you feeling when you found out Logan is still sleeping around?"

I sighed. "Why does it matter?"

Kendall gave me a serious look. "Because everyone knows you like him, and everyone knows he likes you."

"Pft, he does not like me." I looked away from Kendall.

"He does. Why do you think he's flirting with all these girls?" I shrugged in response, still not looking at Kendall. "You know what, I'm going to be honest." At those words I turned back to him, caramel green eyes looking at my dark brown ones. "Before you came to our school, Logan wasn't such a huge manwhore."

I scoffed and crossed my arms. "I find that hard to believe."

"But it's true! Sure, he flirted with a few girls every now and then but I swear he only slept with like, two of them."

"Is this supposed to be comforting?"

Kendall sighed in annoyance but continued. "But when you came along, he told me you turned him down when he first tried to talk to you."

"The reason I did that was because he was dating Raquelle. I'm not the kind of girl who steals another girl's man, even if I want to bury her alive. He was also annoying me with his crappy pick up lines. I seriously don't see why girls want Logan so much if he uses those kind of lines all the time."

"What did he say to you?"

I laughed, remembering what Logan first said to me. "Ask Logan yourself," I tried to leave the room to join Lucy and Elliot again but Kendall pulled me back.

"I'm serious, Amber. Logan really does like you. Why do you think Lucy and I keep trying to bring you two closer?"

I sighed. "Ok, here's what I'll do. I'll stay friends with Logan-"

"You're more than friends with him... everyone can see it." Kendall corrected me.

"But I'm not dating him. Anyway, I'll remain friends with Logan for now. If he shows some kind of interest in me then maybe, just maybe, I might give him a chance. If he doesn't, then I'll know he's moved on, and I'll move on too."

The blonde sighed in defeat. "Fine. But I'm still gonna try get you two together." I laughed before heading back to the living room.

I took a seat next to Lucy and Elliot on the couch. "So, what do you guys wanna do?"

"That's what Kendall and I were originally here for," Lucy turned to me. "We were gonna invite you to laser tag tonight."

"Sure. But Elliot's coming with us." I said. My rocker friend nodded.

"Of course," Lucy pulled Kendall towards the front door. "Well, we've gotta get going now. Bye!"

"Wait! I wanna get to know Elliot!" Kendall complained.

"You can do that tonight Ken! I'll text you the deets, Amber!" And with that, the strangest couple in the world were out the door.

Elliot turned to me. "So... what do you wanna do for the next few hours?"

"Well," I got up and took my backpack from my room and sat next to my brother again. "I've got homework to do."

He stuck his tongue out at me. "Ha ha." he teased.

"Don't make fun of me now. As of tomorrow you will be part of the Senior class at Fordville High, and midterms are coming up in like, less than a month. Since you're new that means you'll be getting way more homework than me and you'll have to work harder, so ha ha." I stuck my tongue out like Elliot did. "Now, you are going to help me with my creative writing assignment."

My brother shook his head. "An aspiring songwriter, asking someone to help them write a creative piece... kinda weird."

"Shut up." I mumbled.

James, Carlos, Logan, Stephanie and Camille gave me curious looks when I entered the laser tag centre with Elliot. "Hey guys. And before you say anything, this is my brother Elliot. Elliot, this is Camille, Stephanie, James, Carlos and Logan." I introduced my brother to each other my friends whom he had not yet met. After everyone had said their hellos Kendall spoke up.

"Ready to play some laser tag?" Everyone cheered and made their way to the counter to get the equipment.

Logan pulled me back. "So... brother, huh?" I nodded.

"Yep, he's my brother." I turned to him and smirked. "You thought he was my boyfriend, didn't you?"

"Pft, what? Why would I- okay maybe I though he was your boyfriend." Logan confessed.

I laughed. "Well, now you know he's not. C'mon, let's play some laser tag." I took Logan's wrist and we caught up with the gang.

Maybe this friend thing won't be too hard.

This was kinda short, and nothing much happened, so sorry about that! But I'll try to make the next chapter a little longer to make up for it. Also, I was thinking of putting the next chapter in Logan's POV. Should I? Lemme know! :)
