Chapter 20: Any Kind of Guy
Logan stood in the doorway of the cafeteria and took in a breath. This was it. This is where he was going to decide whether the blond was worth it or not. He looked over to the corner to find the table empty. He contemplated for a moment. Should he just go sit there and wait for the blond or should he wait here?
He was about to start heading for the table when a thought crossed his mind. What if he never showed up? Logan would look like an idiot sitting there alone. Not to mention he hadn't seen James all morning. He never showed up to their first two classes they had together, but if he stayed here then he would look even more like an idiot. Maybe he should just go wait at his normal table where Camille and Dak were already sitting. Then again, if Kendall sees him sitting there maybe he'll think that Logan was refusing to sit with him.
Logan just stood there hesitating. He could already feel the stares of the people watching him, waiting for his next confrontation with the green eyed blond.
"Are you waiting to be seated or something?" a familiar voice rang in his ear. Logan rolled his eyes as Kendall stopped beside him looking around, "Didn't realize the school finally classed up and got a maitre d'. We don't have to tip them do we? I used my last dollar bill at the strip club last night."
"Ha ha very funny," Logan smirked shaking his head as Kendall placed a hand on his shoulder and started ushering him towards the corner table, "Luckily for you I called ahead and made a reservation for the same table me and Carlos have been sitting at for the past two years."
Logan could feel every eye on them as the cafeteria turned eerily quiet. The only sound being the whispers as the gossip was already beginning to spread. When they approached the table, Logan automatically began to sit at the side of the table that faced the wall. He wanted his back to the rest of the students so that he wouldn't have to see their stares, but before he could sit, Kendall was dragging him to the other side to sit beside him.
"I like to keep my eye on everyone," he said in a low voice as he plopped down in the seat beside him.
Logan took a look around. Kendall was right, he really could see everyone from here. Especially the table where Camille and Dak were sitting watching him from the across the room. It was a perfect view of Logan's normal seat. The brunette sent his friends a warm smile and a little wave. Camille happily returned the gestured while Dak eyed him suspiciously before giving him a curt nod.
"Turkey on Rye is still your favorite right?"
"Huh?" Logan asked looking over to Kendall who had pulled him out of a sudden thought he was having.
"I made you a Turkey sandwich," he replied handing him over a brown bag filled with food. "Mom was in a hurry this morning and I know you don't like meatloaf, especially the crap they serve here."
"Oh, thanks," Logan beamed unwrapping the sandwich. "It's my favorite."
Kendall smiled into his own sandwich as he took a bite before a smirk crossed his face. He nodded towards the door at the tall brunette and the little latino who were making their way into the cafeteria, "Look who finally decided to show up."
Logan watched as the two went their separate ways. James headed towards the table where his twin and her boyfriend resided while Carlos joined him and Kendall.
"Long night or frisky morning?" the blond smiled as the latino sat down across from them.
"I'm pleading the fifth," Carlos insisted grabbing a hold of Logan's lunch bag and rummaging through until he found a bag or Doritos.
"Trouble in paradise?"
Carlos shrugged opening up the bag of chips with a loud pop, "He's being a dick."
"I thought you liked dick."
"What happened?" Logan piped up as he caught James' eye across the room. Hazel eyes sent him an 'I don't want to talk about it' look before turning back to his sister.
"I don't know. Everything was just perfect until we pulled in to the school parking lot and now he won't even talk to me."
"What's the big deal? You had your fun so just move on."
"Hey," Logan smacked his arm. "That's my best friend you are talking about."
Kendall groaned shaking his head. He could see the protectiveness in his chocolate eyes and didn't want another confrontation. He finally got his friend back and he was determined to keep him, "I'm sorry Logan. I didn't mean it like that."
Logan looked at him surprised obviously not expecting such a response.
"What I meant was that Carlos should just move on. You said it yourself, James is not gay so why should he waste his time?"
Logan nodded. It made sense.
They both looked at the latino who remained silent. Both secretly challenging them to prove them wrong. Instead, he changed the subject, "I see you two kissed and made up," he plastered on a fake smile. "Are we all friends again?"
"Yea, I got my best friend back," Logan smiled feeling for the first time that this might actually all work out.
"Whoa, wait! What does that make me?" Carlos teased.
"Awe look at you two fighting over me already," Kendall laughed, receiving a chip to his face courtesy of Carlos.
"On second thought, you can have him," the latino insisted.
"I'm not sure if I still want him," Logan played along.
"Oh, c'mon guys. There's enough of me to go around. You can both share me!"
"I thought you didn't like to share."
"I don't like to share, Los. You two would be the ones sharing me."
"But you still have to share Logan with James."
"It's true," Logan nodded, "I think he's already drawn up custody papers."
"In that case I'll have to find him a distraction. Say… an extremely hot and frisky latino perhaps?"
"Right," Carlos' cheeks flushed slightly as he hurried to change the subject, "So, you guys ready for your big date on Friday?"
"It's not a date!" Logan retorted quickly. "It was supposed to be a group thing until our two best friends bailed on us."
"But it doesn't matter because we can't go anyway. We're grounded."
"And you're really going to let that stop you?"
"Nice of you to join us, Diamond," the blond raised an eyebrow at the brunette who sat down beside the latino, "Carlitos here was beginning to think you were a dick."
"Are you sure he wasn't talking about you?"
"Feisty today, aren't you?" Kendall smirked. "Carlos likes feisty."
"I got to go to pick up my assignments that I missed this morning," Carlos announced jumping to his feet before sauntering towards the door.
"Care to explain how my best friend went from walking on cloud nine to the teen angst queen in the short amount of time since I last talked to him on the phone this morning."
James groaned rubbing his temples before coming clean, "He wants me to take him out Friday… on a date."
"So what's the problem?" Kendall questioned.
"He already has a date with that Waverly chick," Logan answered receiving a confused look from both of his friends, "That was the reason you couldn't come with us, right?"
"Oh right!" James nodded, "Almost forgot about her," he lied.
"So then take him out Saturday night."
"We're going with you guys to the amusement park."
"But we're grounded, so looks like you'll be free!"
"Right," James cursed himself for forgetting about that, "But I promised my Mom that I… would help her with… something."
"Excuses, excuses," Kendall clicked his tongue disapprovingly. "Yet you forgot to mention one thing." Both Logan and James gave him a confused look. "The fact that you aren't gay. I mean you're not right? Because Logan keeps insisted you are completely straight yet you seem to disappear a lot with my best friend who is the gayest kid in school and don't think I didn't notice what you two were doing in Logan's bed that night after the party when I was helping pukes-a-lot over here. So why not just admit you're straight instead of wasting your time with all this pointless excuses and stop leading him on?"
James' eyes narrowed at the blond who met his stare daring him to even try to deny everything. Instead, James pounded a fist onto the table before standing up, "I have assignments to collect too," he spat out before hastily making his leave.
"James!" Logan called after him jumping to his feet preparing to rush after his best friend, only to stop when he realized what he was doing. Biting his lip he turned back to Kendall. He didn't approve of the manner that Kendall had handle the situation, but in a way what he had said made perfect sense, "Did you really have to do that to him?" he groaned. Kendall opened his mouth to speak, but the brunette stopped him, "I'm not mad at you, but he's upset and I-"
Kendall nodded understanding that Logan was trying to avoid a fight with him, but trying to stick up for his other friend as well, "Just go after him. I'll meet you in the parking lot after school."
Logan gave him a thank you smile before rushing out of the room in the direction his best friend had stormed off in.
Kendall sat there for a moment finishing his lunch in peace. Leaving his garbage as someone else's problem, he got up and left the cafeteria heading in the direction that the brunettes had disappeared in. Although it was against his nature the least he could do, for Logan's sake, was apologize.
He was just passing the gym when a voice called out his name.
"What's a matter, Knight?" the voice mocked. Kendall looked around for the source, his eyes landing on a senior named Tad also known as the captain of the hockey team, "Just saw all your little band of fags run by not too long ago. Did they not want to have an orgy with you?"
"Excuse me?" he challenged the hockey player who was resting against the door jam of the weight room, his posse gathering close behind him.
"No need to get all hostile, Knight. I was just going to offer my dick for you to suck," the senior licked his lips as he made to unbutton his pants.
Kendall glared at him. He was used to comments like this. Especially from Tad. Him and his homophobic buddies were one of the reasons Kendall had quit the school hockey team. They were also the reason Kendall had a reputation for being a slut; all of them claiming that Kendall had begged them to let him suck them off. Of course it was all a lie.
Luckily another reputation he had was being a bad ass. The reason behind that one being him showing up for school with black eyes, bruises, stitches and even a broke fist once. Everyone automatically assumed it was from being in a fight though in reality it was all simply from playing hockey at the recreation center. Kendall of course never bothered to correct anyone.
Kendall liked being known as the bad ass. It was his only defense against jerks like Tad. He knew Tad was afraid of him. The jock would never taunt him without having at least two of his buddies by his side. When that happened, Kendall would pretend that they were not worth his time and just walk away. He was about to do that now, until tad opened up his big mouth, this time crossing the line.
"O c'mon. I'm sure I'm way better than that little nerdy orphan fuck buddy of yours."
Kendall saw red as he whipped around. His fist was clenched as he pulled it back ready to strike, but before he could, a another hand caught his. He fought for control at first until the person holding his arm spoke, making him drop his arm in defeat.
"They're not worth it, Babe. Let's get to class."
Kendall's eyes were wide as Logan kissed his cheek before threading his fingers into the blonde's pulling him down the hall. He could hear the jocks cat calling behind them, but they were now the last thing on his mind. All he could think about was the brunette who's fingers were locked with his until they rounded a corner, out of the jock's view, and Logan dropped his hand.
"What the hell do you think you were doing? You're going to get yourself grounded again and then we'll never get to go to the amusement park," Logan chastised.
"They called you…"
"I know what they said!" Logan cut him off.
Kendall was silent. Logan had heard everything the jocks were saying and yet he still did what he did.
"Are you alright?" the brunette questioned noticing Kendall's dazed look.
Kendall nodded, shaking his head, "Yea- I- um… thanks."
"What are friends for?" Logan beamed shrugging his shoulders.
"But you- did you call me Babe?"
Logan chuckled, "Shocked the hell out of them, didn't it?" he mused.
"And me too."
The brunette shrugged again, "It's not like it's the first time I kissed you," and with that he sauntered down the hall on his way to class.
