.:Chapter Twelve – Big Time Rush:.

"WE'RE LATE!"

Logan's eyes shot open as the door to his and Kendall's shared bedroom blasted open, hitting the opposite wall. "DON'T JUST SIT THERE YOU TURDS, WE'RE LATE!" James shouted as he jumped on top of Kendall.

"Ouch!" Kendall shouted. "James, get off!"

"What do you mean we're late?" Logan asked, his eyes widening as he sat up, frantically trying to pull his legs out from the sheets on his bed. "We can't be late! I'm never late!" Logan managed to free his legs, but he then fell out of his bed in his haste. He scrambled over to his clock and grabbed it, staring at the time and willing for it to be a joke. "OH NO, WE'RE LATE!"

"Hurry," Kendall grabbed a shirt that was on the ground and threw it at Logan. "Get dressed!" He then turned to James and shoved him. "You, get out." James turned and hurried to the room that he and Carlos shared and Kendall and Logan could hear their frantic shouts and screams. "What?" Kendall asked as he turned to Logan, noticing he was staring at the shirt that Kendall had tossed him.

"Is this clean?" Logan asked as he held up the shirt.

"Logan!" Kendall shouted as he jumped into a pair of jeans before pulling on his shoes.

"Ok, ok!" Logan pulled on the shirt and grabbed a pair of jeans, pulling them on quickly. He put on his shoes and gathered his books, grabbing his backpack. "Let's go! Let's go!" Kendall and Logan quickly ran out into the common area, bumping into James and Carlos as they ran around the kitchen, trying to grab a quick breakfast. "Oh, just eat a banana!" he knocked the bowl that Carlos was carrying out of his hands. "C'mon!"

Kendall grabbed four sets of keys off of a the hook by the front door and tossed three of them to his friends before he locked the door behind them and they all ran off to Presser Hall, nearly knocking over Katie as she walked to the dining hall.

"Watch where you're going you weirdoes!" she shouted after them.

"Sorry Baby Sister," Kendall replied as he stopped running and jogged in place. "We're in a rush."

"A Big Time Rush," Carlos added.

"We're late to class." James elaborated.

"And we have to go like now." Logan screeched, waving his arm with a watch on it in the air.

Kendall turned to go, but then stopped when he noticed that Katie didn't have her backpack or her books with her. He stopped jogging in place. "Correct me if I'm wrong, Katie, but don't you have a class this morning?"

"It got cancelled." Katie replied with a smile.

"Lucky!" Carlos whined.

"LET'S GO!" Logan moved behind Carlos and started to push on his back, causing the four boys to start running again. They ran as fast as they could to Presser and as soon as they got inside, they fell silent, but still walking quick enough to try and get to class. "We can't just barge in there; you heard what Duke said the first day," he whispered loudly.

"Well, how do you propose that we get in there?" James shot back.

There was silence and Carlos, James, and Logan turned to Kendall, who had a hand up to his chin, rapidly shifting his eyes back and forth. "I've got an idea!" he suddenly stated. The four boys got to their class and crouched down behind the door.

Kendall pulled a notebook out of his backpack and then grabbed a sharpie from the side of Logan's. He quickly scribbled something onto it and turned around and the four boys slowly raised themselves and peered into the window of the classroom. They ducked back down when Duke turned towards them, and then raised themselves up again when they were sure the coast was clear. Kendall looked around the small space he could see, to make sure Duke was preoccupied, then tapped on the window. Jo, who seemed to be bored and staring around the room, looked towards the door when she heard the sound.

Kendall waved to get her attention and then held up the notebook that had the word 'HELP' written on it. Jo raised her eyebrows and looked over towards Duke before looking back at the boys, mouthing 'What's up?'

'Help us sneak in' Kendall mouthed back.

Jo looked around again and then held up a hand, letting them know to wait for a five seconds. Kendall nodded and then lowered the sign, waiting. He slowly cracked the door open and listened as Jo cleared her throat.

"Duke, there's someone at the door for you." She called.

"What is she doing?" James hissed, starting to panic.

"She's just bringing him right over to us," Carlos added, and then rolled his eyes. "Wow, you sure know how to pick em', Kendall."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Kendall whispered back.

"All of you guys just shut up!" Logan snapped back.

"Are you sure?" Duke asked, they boys could hear footsteps moving towards the door. "I didn't hear anything." All of a sudden a phone went off, and due to the fact that they were so close to the door, they could tell that it was Duke's phone that was ringing. "Oh, sorry guys, I've got to take this." The footsteps moved away from the door and Kendall opened the door wider and watched as Duke disappeared into his office.

"C'mon."

Kendall pushed the door open and the four boys crawled into the room, gathering the attention of everyone else, making them laugh. Kendall stopped crawling and looked up when he noticed the sound of a guitar playing a note each time they took a step.

"Guitar Dude, knock it off." Jo laughed over at him.

"Sorry, but the situation just ask for the Mission Impossible music." Guitar Dude replied as he moved his guitar aside.

"You might want to hurry and sit down." Dak added, although he was laughing as well. He waved his phone around. "Duke is gonna come back any second."

The boys quickly clambered into the only open seats. One to the left and right of Riley, which Logan took the one that was to the right of Riley, sitting in between her and her sister, James too the one to the left. Kendall quickly sat down next to Jo and Carlos took the empty seat at the Jennifer's table. He smiled at them and they gave short smiles back.

"Huh," James made a grunting sound. "What do they see in him that they don't see in me?" he asked, looking over at the Jennifers and Carlos as one of the Jennifer's asked him something, causing him to grin and respond animatedly.

"I wouldn't put much stock in it," Riley muttered, her head bent over a notebook, doodling. "They're probably only talking to him because they think he's some sort of bad boy by being late to class." She lifted her head and looked at James. "But they're probably gonna drop him in about ten seconds, so you don't have to worry." She then raised her eyebrows and turned to Logan. "Speaking of which, I never thought that you would ever be late to class. It seemed like you were going to wag it Logie-Be-"

Logan reached out and slapped a hand over Riley's mouth and Rhuben laughed at the exchange. Logan then made a face and pulled his hand away, wiping it on his chest. "You really got to stop doing that." He commented, looking at her darkly, although his eyes showed amusement.

"And you should have known about…" she started to count off on her fingers. "Eight years ago, not to put your hand over my mouth." Riley then smiled sweetly and Logan laughed before giving her a one-armed hug.

"So why were you late?" Rhuben asked, getting his attention again. "You're the one that's always in class about twenty minutes early."

"I overslept." Logan replied.

"That's it?" Rhuben rolled her eyes and snorted. "Wow, you really know how to live, Logie." She gave a half smile, letting him know that she was just teasing him. Logan rolled his eyes and pulled a notebook out of his backpack. "Anyway, today the class is letting Duke know what the name of their group is and we're having a lecture today."

Kendall and Jo turned around and Carlos headed over to the group as soon as they heard what Rhuben had said. "Have you guys decided on a name yet?" Dak asked as he leaned forward from the table behind them.

"No, we were in such a Big Time Rush this morning that we didn't even think about it." James stated as he shook his head. He let out a huge sigh. "What can we do guys?"

"Well, you want the name to be catchy, something that everyone will remember." Jo stated with a shrug. "So, why don't you think of a name of something that you know or are good at?"

"We're good at hockey and there aren't many names that you can get out of that." Kendall told her. He then looked at Logan, Carlos, and James who were staring at him and threw his hands up into the air. "Oh come on, I thought of the way to get in the classroom, I can't do everything for you guys."

"I know the feeling." Riley muttered and was hit on the arm by her sister. "Ow!" She started to rub her arm. "That actually hurt you know, those were the fingertips!" She then frowned and whipped her head around towards Dak and WayneWayne. "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." They replied in unison, abruptly stopping their laughter.

"The way I see it, you guys already have your name anyway," WayneWayne stated, sounding as if it was painful for him to admit it. "Just think really hard about what you just said and you've got it."

"Ok, what's up with you?" Kendall asked as he turned to WayneWayne, narrowing his eyes. "You have done nothing but cause me and my buds, grief ever since we got here and now you're helping us?" He crossed his arms over his chest. "There's something wrong with-"

"Has anyone ever told you that you can be really stubborn?" Dak interrupted.

"You've never seen him when he thinks he's right about something even when he is totally and completely wrong." Logan snorted. "So it doesn't surprise me that he's being stubborn about this."

"Yeah, well-"

"See Jo, these are the exact kind of people that you shouldn't be hanging out with." A boy their age with sandy brown hair, green eyes, and bright white teeth, stated as he walked over to the table that she and Kendall were sitting at and sat down on the end. "They're not going to do anything but bring you down."

"Jett, I told you before," Jo sighed as she brought her hair behind her ears. "None of your clever tactics to make me go out on a date with you is going to work," she gave a pained smile. "I have a boyfriend, remember."

"Yes, but are you really in love with him?" Jett asked.

"Yes," Jo crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him sharply. "I am."

"That's Jett Stetson," Riley explained to the boys. "He's one of the actors on New Town High and, unfortunately, is really conceited, thinks that he has a talent for singing." She gave a short cough. "Think being the keyword. And he's been after Jo ever since he first laid eyes on her."

"And as you can see, it hasn't been working well." Rhuben added as Jett went back to his side of the room.

"You have a boyfriend?" Kendall asked raising his eyebrows as Jo let out a sigh, rolling her eyes.

"Well, actually, you see-"

"Sorry about that class," Duke called as he walked out of his office. "I had a phone call that I had to make," he paused and scanned the room, as if trying to figure out whether or not one of them had just done it. When his eyes landed on Dak, he gave a nervous smile and slid his phone into his pockets. "Anyway," he then turned his eyes towards Kendall, Logan, Carlos, and James. "Have you boys decided what you're going to make your group name?"

"Uh," Logan's mouth dropped open as he tried to think off the top of his head. "Uh, our group name is…uh."

"Uh…" Kendall and James repeated.

"Big Time Rush!" Carlos blurted. "Our group name is Big Time Rush!"

"Big Time Rush huh…" Duke rubbed his chin in thought. "BTR…I like it." He smiled and grabbed a notebook and started to write in it. "Kendall, Logan, Carlos, and James are now known in this class as Big Time Rush. Nice choice boys."

Camille grinned as she packed up her backpack after her private drama lesson and then headed over to her Drama class. She had just been told about an audition, a really big audition that she could try out for and knew that if she could nail it, it would really start her career. But now, all she needed was to tell someone her good news before she burst.

Walking to the little theater (which was situated above the large theater that they used for production), Camille looked around for her friends, and grinned when she caught sight of WayneWayne. 'It's funny' she thought to herself as she hurried over to him. 'We haven't seen each other in such a long time, and he's changed so much, but we're still best friends. It's like nothing between the two of us have changed at all.'

"Wally!" she called as she ran over to him. "Wally, you have to hear this!"

WayneWayne, who was with Dak, stopped and looked around, making sure that no one had heard her call him by his real name, before shoving Dak on the arm, obviously annoyed with him making fun of his name.

"What's up, Cammie?" he asked her, using his old nickname for her, a second before he was glomped into a hug by her. "I'm guessing you have great news." He added with a chuckle as Camille stepped back and started to bounce up and down on her toes. "Or you're just extremely hyper."

"Or high." Dak added, receiving a slap on the arm by Camille.

"You know that I don't do drugs, Dak." She stated and then rolled her eyes before the smile slid onto her face again. "No, you guys won't believe the news I have to tell you, and you guys are the first to know so you should feel special." She took a breath and cleared her throat dramatically. "I have the opportunity to audition for a new major motion picture directed by…wait for it…James Cameron."

"Whoa! No way!" Dak cried, his eyes flying open.

"What kind of movie?" WayneWayne demanded and then looked confused. "Wait, if you get the part, what about school?"

"Oh, don't worry about that," Camille shook her head. "Here at CABS, they make it that you can work around your schooling schedule to get parts like this," she shrugged. "One of the many great things about going to this school. "Anyway, it's a love movie, I'm not sure about the whole thing, and my part won't be major or anything, but I'll get a lot of face time if I get it."

"That's awesome, Cammie!" WayneWayne grinned and gave Camille a hug.

"Does this mean that you're going to start slapping us again?" Dak asked warily, as he reached a hand up and rubbed his cheek. "Because of you, in the winter my cheek goes numb that much faster than the rest of my body, when it's cold."

"Haha."

"Seriously, that's like, the best news ever."

"Thanks guys," Camille smiled and then turned to WayneWayne, looking at him oddly. "Hey, when did you get your sunglasses back?"

"Oh, Riley gave them back to him after he asked politely," Dak replied with a smirk. "And he said 'please'."

"And he lived?" Camille looked amused. "That doesn't sound like Riley."

"Well, maybe you don't know her as well as you thought," WayneWayne replied impatiently, and then changed the subject. "Anyway, are you going to the soccer game tomorrow?" He asked Camille.

"You better." Dak insisted teasingly.

"Yeah, I'm going." Camille replied and then asked WayneWayne the same question.

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it," He stated and shrugged carelessly. "I mean, sports aren't really my thing and-"

"You're playing ice hockey." Camille pointed out.

"You didn't let me finish," WayneWayne stated quickly. "I mean, I'm not the kind of person that watches sports in the audience. I mean, with all of those people that get so into the game, and then there are the soccer moms." He paused when he saw the stern look on Camille's face. "Who's going?" he asked with a heavy sigh.

"Everyone," Camille replied. "It's the first game of the year, the soccer teams never have try-outs and they start practices in the summer, that's why the first game starts so early, plus its like a huge thing here, the first game of the school year, besides Prom and Homecoming of course."

"Of course." WayneWayne replied sarcastically.

"Plus, we're having a surprise birthday party for Carlos in the Student Union after the game, so it will be even cooler." He slapped WayneWayne on the shoulder. "And you have to come to that, there are going to be a lot of girls there and I'm sure the Jennifers had their eyes on you."

"You had me on a lot of girls," WayneWayne replied with a smile.

"You guys are all the same," Camille snorted. "Stupid and girl crazy." She laughed as a group of people dancing went by them. "Flash Mob," she explained at their odd expressions. "It's a new class this year. C'mon, we're gonna be late."

"Oh, we wouldn't want that." Dak stated as the three started to walk to class. "Anyway, did you hear how Logan and the others were almost late to class?"

"Kates!"

Katie made a face as she turned around and then saw Park and Sol hurrying to catch up to her, pushing through the crowded hall of students. She hadn't heard anyone call her that name in a long time, and it was her dad that was the last one that had called her that, before he left her family. Now every time someone wants to call her that, she is sure to tell them that she never goes by that name and if they called her that again, she couldn't be afraid to punch them.

'But I just met these guys, so they obviously wouldn't know.' Katie told herself as she waited for them to catch up to her. "Hey Park, Hey Sol." She greeted. "What's your hurry?" she asked when they caught up to her. "Where are Patrick and Noah?" she added as they started to walk down the hall again.

"They had to go to lunch detention because they were caught trying to make sure that their sisters didn't get caught staying out after curfew," Park replied as he adjusted the beanie that was on his head. "Apparently they along with your brother, and their friends were doing homework, were stuck out after curfew, and then snuck back in, but Riley was stupid enough to put it up on their website blog, and they got caught by Ronan."

"Yeah, I saw that blog myself," Katie added with a nod and then sucked in a breath before smiling. "So that means its not much longer until my brother gets caught."

"Yep," Sol agreed with a nod. "News and gossip spreads fast here, and while Riley and Rhuben are grounded for two weeks and Patrick, Noah, and Sydney are grounded for one, they might also have to serve detentions. But Patrick and Noah traded theirs in for a lunch detention today so they don't miss the soccer game tomorrow."

"I can understand that," Katie added with a nod.

"So, are you going?" Park asked.

"To what?"

"The soccer game?"

"I don't know," Katie shrugged one shoulder, moving her backpack to her other shoulder. "I mean, I'm not much of a sports nut and I only really go to ice hockey games to cheer on my brother." She thought about it for a minute. "How big are sports here?"

"It's as big as Prom and Homecoming," Sol replied with a nod. "And that's saying something because at this school every grade level can go to those dances rather than it only being for juniors and seniors." He then gave a flirty smile. "C'mon Katie, please go to the game? We want to have someone we know cheering us on." Katie continued to frown. "Plus, our best friend Lizzie is going and we want you to meet her."

"Our best friend?" Katie repeated.

"Yeah, Park, Patrick, Noah, and my best friend." Sol nodded. "Lizzie Zevon, Dak's little sister, she goes to the dance academy, she can be kind of girly, but she's pretty chill."

Katie's lip twitched, for some reason, that she didn't even had any idea why, she was kind of annoyed at the idea of it. 'It's probably because you're starting to make friend with them, some of the few friends that you actually have, and they already have a best friend'. Katie shook her head as she scratched her forehead. 'That's most likely it.' She lifted her head and smiled a little when she saw the expression on the boys' faces. "I don't know, I have to ask Kendall and-"

"I'm sure he's going," Park interrupted. "This thing is so huge, like everybody in the school goes." He shrugged and gave a sheepish smile. "Plus, it'll give you a good chance to meet more people, the food is good, and you'll feel really left out if you don't go, CABS is really big on school spirit."

"I'm not a school spirit kind of person." Katie denied.

"Not to go and get a big head, but we're actually pretty good and this game is against out rivals, Los Angeles Boarding School or LABS." Park smirked. "So we're always calling each other Bitches and Cab Drivers to put each other down."

Katie laughed at the two nicknames, she wasn't one that was up for cursing much, but it was still pretty funny. "Nice one, who came up with that?"

"It's been like that forever." Park replied.

"So will you go, please?" Sol gave a pout.

Katie rolled her eyes as she looked at him, tightening her grip on the straps of her backpack as she looked around at all of the students that went by. One kid was drumming his drum sticks on the walls as he went by, others were dancing, some even had large boom boxes over their shoulders and were blaring them as they went down the halls. She smiled.

There was a lot of things that she liked about the school, and maybe watching sports games could be something else.

"Sure." She finally agreed.

A/N: Alright, just so you guys know, this story is more of a what happens when the guys go to school kind of thing, so it's going to have a lot of stuff that teenagers go through in this story, and that's one of the things that this chapter was about; going to sports games, as well as being late to class and stuff like that. But don't worry, the drama and everything will pick up really soon. I hope you liked this chapter.

Cheers,
