Chapter 21: Behind Schedule
Logan yawned as he made his way up to his room. He had had a long night and he was ready to just go to sleep. He could not wait for the dance tomorrow. He was glad he wasn't grounded. Logan walked into his bedroom and didn't bother undressing as he fell onto his bed. He closed his eyes not caring that the light was still on.
"Logan," James yelled as he stormed up the stairs. Logan groaned and rolled over as his door opened.
"What?" he asked.
"Why did you tell your mom about Annie?" James asked.
"What?" Logan asked confused.
"Annie the girl we met at the beach in Malibu on vacation a year or two ago," James said. (1)
Logan looked at James confused and thought for a moment before he realized he had said to Joanna earlier. "I am so sorry, I was mad at her and she was yelling and I kind of brought up how mom and dad caught you and Savannah and told them that she wasn't you're first," he said quickly jumping up.
"Why would you do that? Dad is so pissed at me for lying," James said angrily.
"I was in trouble," Logan said, "and I wasn't thinking," he said.
"You in trouble that's a first," James said, "what did you do?" he asked his anger gone. Logan sighed and sat down on his bed.
"Ok, I had Kendall over earlier and mom came home early and caught us doing some stuff," Logan said his cheeks pink.
"She caught you fooling around?" James asked slowly.
"Not exactly," Logan said his cheeks turning red. He did not want to have to spell it out for James. He was not going to say it. This was embarrassing enough.
"Logan, oh my god I just got a text from Katie," Camille said running into his room. "She tells me you and Kendall got caught having sex," she said. Logan looked up at her side eyed. Katie knew.
"Whoa," James said, "seriously?" he asked.
Logan nodded and looked at the floor his whole face red now. He could not believe Katie knew and told Camille.
"We thought we were alone," Logan said, "mom came home early, and Kendall's mom gave her a ride since her car wouldn't start," he said.
"Both of them caught you?" James asked trying not to laugh at the situation. He knew Logan was embarrassed but he had to admit it was somewhat funny.
"Look we were supposed to be alone for another hour," Logan said looking up at James and Camille. "We didn't even plan on it happening it just happened," he said.
"But Kendall's mom caught you too?" James asked.
"Yes," Logan said.
"Oh my god you poor thing," Camille said walking over to Logan. She sat down next to him. "Were they mad? Did you get in trouble?" she asked.
"At first mom grounded me, but she realized she was over reacting," Logan said.
"Yeah while she was grilling him he told her about Annie," James said.
"I said I was sorry," Logan said, "it just kind of slipped out. I told her she was being unfair since they had caught you and Savannah and you got off with a stern talking too," he said.
"I don't know why she goes easy on me Logan," James said, "I think is has something to do with you being her son while I'm only her step son," he said.
"Speaking of step son, have you gone to visit you mom lately?" Logan asked.
"Last week," James said, "she asked me to spend the weekend with her but I told her I couldn't since it was homecoming but the next weekend I could," he said.
"Have you told her about Katie?" Camille asked.
"Not yet," James said, "I don't really know how to tell her that I'm dating. She's so over protective of me, she freaked out when dad told her about Savannah and when I went to visit her after that, well let's just say it wasn't my funnest visit," he said.
"At least she didn't catch you having sex," Logan said, "and it only got worse when Mrs. Knight was in the living room with her," he said.
"I now realize how lucky I was," James said.
"So what happened to not being ready?" Camille asked.
"Look, I don't know what happened, but my brain stops working around the time Kendall gets touchy feely," Logan said. (2)
"So, I have a question," Camille said.
"I don't think I wanna hear this," Logan and James said together.
"I am just curious as to who topped and who bottomed," Camille said, "I don't want any details though," she added quickly.
"I am not answering that question," Logan said. James and Camille looked at one another for a moment.
"I think I got my answer," Camille said standing up. "Well I am off to bed tomorrow is going to be hectic with all the decorating that still needs to be done and getting the DJ set up," she said.
"I am still not helping," Logan said.
"Come on Logan it will get done faster if we have you to keep everyone focused," Camille said.
"I said no," Logan said standing up as well. He then started to push her and James from his room. "Now good night," he said. He shut his door and turned his light off. He walked over to his bed after stripping down to his boxers.
Kendall looked at his alarm clock as he dressed. He knew this was his last chance to be noticed for homecoming king. He knew most people had made up their minds by this point, but there were still a few people on the fence, his friends being a few of them. Camille, Carlos, and Katie had yet to decide on whom to vote for. Kendall shook his head and grabbed his favorite pair of skinny jeans, a white v-neck short sleeved t-shit, and a plaid button up. He quickly combed his hair and grabbed his backpack and headed down stairs.
Katie was already in the kitchen with a notebook in front of her as she ate with a pen in one hand. Kendall made himself a bowl of cereal and sat down next to her.
"Whatcha doin'?" he asked looking over at her notebook.
"Some quick number crunching," Katie said.
"Homework?" Kendall asked confused.
"No, homecoming," Katie said, "I can't figure out who's in the lead it's too close to call," she said.
"What do you mean?" Kendall asked confused.
"I've asked around and I've done some tallying and according to certain cliques I averaged their votes and it's all to close between you, Logan, and James," Katie said looking up at Kendall.
"It's that close?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah," Katie said nodding her head.
"What's close?" Jennifer asked as she walked into the kitchen.
"The race for homecoming king," Katie said, "I just can't say who'll win," she said.
"That's good, it'll be a surprise then," Jennifer said.
"I just want to beat James," Kendall said, "He thinks he's gonna win because of his looks," he said.
"That's where he's getting a lot of his votes," Katie said, "but you have loyal friends," she added quickly.
"What about Logan where are his votes coming from?" Kendall asked.
"Outcasts and people who think he's a total badass," Katie said, "face it Kendall Logan's the underdog here," she said.
"I know and if I'm gonna lose I think it will be to him," Kendall said.
"There is nothing wrong with losing," Jennifer said.
"Says the woman who was homecoming queen and prom queen," Katie said.
"I can't help it people liked me," Jennifer said smiling, "but if I lost I wouldn't have gotten mad," she said.
"Katie who's in the lead for homecoming queen," Kendall asked, "I wanna know who I might have to dance with if I win," he said.
"Well, blonde Jennifer is a nice candidate for winning, but so is Jo," Katie said, "If they don't win then it might be Stephanie King," she said.
"What if James wins Katie would you not get when he had to dance with his queen?" Kendall asked.
"Or course I'll be a little jealous but I'll get over it when he dances with me after that," she said. Kendall laughed and shook his head as he ate.
"I really hope Jo doesn't win though," Kendall said, "she's been acting so weird lately," he said.
"How so?" Katie asked.
"Logan says she stares at him in their English class," Kendall said, "she even tried talking to me about a week ago but walked away," he said.
"Well Jo always was odd," Katie said.
"Jo?" Jennifer asked as she sat down next across from Kendall and Katie. "Jo Taylor?" she asked.
"Yep that's the one," Kendall said.
"She seemed like a nice girl to me," Jennifer said.
"Mom that was Jo in middle school," Kendall said, "We're juniors in high school now. It's a whole new ball game," he said. Kendall reached in his pocket for his cell phone only to find it wasn't there. He then remembered Logan had it. "Katie what time is it?" he asked.
Katie pulled her phone out and looked at it.
"Twenty after seven," Katie said.
"Come on we still have to pick up Carlos," Kendall said as he stood up. He brought his now empty cereal bowl to the sink. Katie did the same and grabbed her notebook from the table. She shoved it in her bag as she followed Kendall outside. Jennifer followed them to the door.
"Have a nice day," she called after them.
"Will do," Kendall called over his shoulder.
"You too mom," Katie said.
"Love you," Kendall and Katie called at the same time as they both turned to look at Jennifer who smiled at them and waved. They got into Kendall's car and left.
Logan made his way down the hallway to his locker. He grabbed the things he would need for his morning classes and turned around in time to see Kendall make his way over to him.
"Logie," Kendall said smiling at him.
"Forget something?" Logan asked pulling Kendall's phone out of his pocket. Kendall grinned and reached for it. Logan pulled it away. "You are lucky I remember to grab it, this morning I was halfway out the door when I remembered," he said.
"Thank you Logie," Kendall said leaning in and giving Logan a peck on the lips. Logan handed Kendall his phone and together they walked to Kendall's locker. "You excited about tonight?" Kendall asked.
"Yeah, I cannot wait to see your and James' faces when I win," Logan said.
"I am gonna win," Kendall corrected him. Logan laughed as they made their way over to the stairwell where the others were already sitting and talking. James was sitting above Katie. Katie was sitting between his leg and James had his arms resting on her shoulders as they talked to Camille and Carlos.
"Hey guys," Logan said.
"Hey Logan," Katie said looking up at him.
Logan and Kendall sat down next to Camille. Logan knew Kendall did not like the way Katie and James were sitting, but he wasn't saying anything. Logan moved so he was sitting like Katie was with James. Kendall looked at Logan and smiled. Everyone continued talking and just laughing until the bell rang. Katie stood and helped James up. She gave him a peck on the cheek before leaving. Logan pulled Kendall back down so he was sitting again.
"Don't," he said. Logan stood up and held a hand out to Kendall.
"I wasn't going to do anything," Kendall said as he took Logan's hand.
"Yeah and I'm not gay," Logan said sarcastically. Kendall laughed as Logan pulled him up.
"I am getting used to it," Kendall said. He looked down at Logan and gave him a peck on the lips. They joined the other three and made their way to homeroom. Logan sat down in front of Kendall like usual and turned in his seat to keep talking with Kendall and James.
Jo sighed as she made her way to her English class. She hated that Logan was in her class. Jo didn't exactly hate Logan. She was still mad at what he had said to her. She now knew his secret though. She could not believe He was lying about everything. He was not the bad boy the whole school thought he was. Curt and Dak had told her everything about Logan. They told her what he was really like, and not to mention his real name. He had the nerve to come here and lie about everything; well she would put an end to that. She wanted to out him so bad, but she couldn't. She had to wait for Curt to get here. No one would believe her and Logan would think it was a desperate attempt to get Kendall to not like him. He would be worried about how she knew though.
"Jo," a voice called out to her. Jo stopped and turned around. She saw Jett walking towards her. She sighed and rolled her eyes. She had dated him once, but after she found out what a homophobic prick he was she broke up with him.
"What do you want Jett?" she asked.
"Look I know you need a homecoming date and so do I," Jett said.
"Sorry, Jett but I have a date," Jo said. It wasn't a complete lie.
"Who?" Jett asked.
"He's not from around here you don't know him," Jo said, "besides I don't think my two dads would like me dating a homophobic prick like you," she said.
"Come Jo, just admit you don't have a date so we can get this over with," Jett said.
"I am going with someone, now knock it off," Jo said, "I don't like you anymore Jett," she said. She then walked past him trying to make it to her next class. She walked into the English room and took a seat away from Logan like usual. She knew it was best to just avoid him at all costs.
"Come on Logie it will get you out of your next few classes if you help up finish the last minute things," Kendall said sticking his lower lip out at Logan.
"I told Camille I wasn't helping and that is that," Logan said.
"Come on Logie we're in a bind here," Kendall said grabbing Logan's hand.
"Well, that is not my problem," Logan said, "it's not my fault Camille and whoever else is in charge can't get you all to keep focus," he said.
"Come Logan don't make me beg," Kendall said.
"Camille put you up to this didn't she?" Logan asked.
"Maybe," Kendall said. They were standing in the hallway next to Logan's locker. They had just left the cafeteria. Kendall was trying to get Logan to help with finishing decorating the gym. They were behind and Camille and others were getting anyone they could to help finish.
"How much more do you guys have to do?" Logan sighed.
"Not much come on," Kendall said grabbing Logan's hand.
"You owe me for this Kendall," Logan said as he trailed behind Kendall.
"I think I know a way to repay you," Kendall said, "it'll have to be later though," he said.
"Perv," Logan said laughing as Kendall brought him to the gym. They walked into the gym and found Camille and the others already working.
"Wow, you got him to agree," James said jumping down from the chair he was standing on and walking over to the two.
"How?" Camille asked.
"He can't say no to me," Kendall said teasingly as he moved behind Logan.
"I'll leave," Logan threatened.
"Sorry, I asked him really nicely," Kendall said placing his arms around Logan from behind. "So what do you need us to do?" he asked Camille.
"Well, you can help James with the balloons Kendall, and Logan can go help Carlos with the banner," Camille said, "I am not stupid. I am not gonna let you two work together since you can barely keep your hands to yourself," she said.
"You take the fun out of everything," Kendall said as he let go of Logan.
"I want things to get done," Camille said, "Jo is nowhere to be seen and she's in charge with me and this is not working," she said.
"I'll go help Carlos," Logan said walking over to the Latino not wanting to upset Camille. He knew she got pissy when things didn't work out the way she planned. Carlos joined Carlos who was working on a banner that was to go above the door.
"Camille told me to help you since I can't work with Kendall," Logan said.
"Well yeah, Kendall would probably sneak off with you and then you'd be of no help," Carlos said, "now come on help me move this off to the side so it can dry," he said.
"Why is the paint still wet?" Logan asked.
"Because the one I made yesterday was ripped in half by accident when James and I tried to put it up," Carlos said.
"Why did it rip," Logan asked as he and Carlos moved the banner from the middle of the room to the side.
"Because James doesn't know his right from is left," Carlos said. Logan laughed and shook his head.
"That sounds like James," he said.
"I know," Carlos said, "Camille flipped and nearly hit him," he said.
"And that sounds like Camille," Logan said. The room was suddenly filled with a high-pitched laughter and singing. Logan looked around and saw James and Kendall playing with the helium balloons. He sighed and started over towards them. Camille was faster.
"Seriously you two?" Camille asked.
"What?" James asked in a high-pitched voice.
"This is not helping," Camille said, "we have to get this done by the end of the day," she said.
"Camille," Logan said running over to her, "Carlos wants to show you the banner," Logan said gesturing for Carlos to join him.
"Yeah, it's better than the other one," Carlos said running over and placing an arm around Camille and leading her away from James and Kendall.
"Seriously? You guys know this has to get done today," Logan said, "Kendall you go help Carlos with whatever he needs to do and I'll help James," he said.
"Fine," Kendall said hanging his head trying not to laugh.
"Buzz kill," James said. Kendall walked over to Logan and gave him a peck on the lips before leaving him alone with James.
"James you know better than to aggravate Camille," Logan said slapping James' arm. "Now stop messing around and get to work," he said.
"Now I see why Camille wanted your help," James said.
Logan was never so excited for his last class of the day. After this class, he would be free to go home and get ready for the dance. He had never gone to a dance before. He was excited about this, because he was going with Kendall. He was going with the one person he cared about.
"Someone looks happy," a voice whispered in his ear. Logan looked over his shoulder at Kendall and grinned as they walked down the hall together.
"I'm just a little excited," Logan said.
"Excited to see me win King?" Kendall asked as they entered their last class of the day. They had just finished decorating the gym, and everything was fine. Logan was surprised it was so easy.
"No, excited to see your face when you lose to me," Logan said laughing as they joined Carlos and James in the back of the room. Logan sat down on top of Kendall desk like usual. Their teacher did not care as long as they kept quiet.
"So Carlos any luck finding a date?" Kendall asked.
"Nope," Carlos said, "I almost had one of the Jennifer's but that didn't work out, and Stephanie thinks going alone will help her win homecoming queen somehow," he said.
"Tough luck man," Logan said.
"Kendall can I come over to your place to get ready?" Carlos asked, "Trina is having a sleepover and I don't want to have to explain what homecoming is to a bunch of six year olds," he said.
"Sure," Kendall said.
"So if the games starts at five and the dance starts at seven what time do you want me to pick you guys up?" Logan asked.
"A little before seven sounds good, just don't let Camille take to long to get ready," Kendall said looking up at Logan who nodded. The four continued to talk until the bell rang. Logan jumped up and walked out of the room with Kendall. They both walked to their lockers and then outside.
"So I'll be by around seven to get you," Logan said.
"Yep," Kendall said grinning. Logan looked around and James, Camille, Katie, and Carlos were nowhere to be seen. Logan led Kendall over to their cars that were parked side by side.
"Did you know my mom almost grounded me yesterday?" Logan asked.
"Really?" Kendall asked shocked.
"Yep, she was so mad at me and I think Jack calmed her down enough to get her to realize she was being harsh," Logan said as he hopped up onto the hood of his car to wait for the others. Kendall sat down next to him. Logan turned to Kendall and smiled. He leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"I am so glad we finished in time," Kendall said.
"Yeah thanks to me keeping everyone focused for the most part," Logan said grinning.
"Yeah, and if James hadn't ratted us out things wouldn't have gotten done," Kendall said leaning over and giving Logan another kiss.
"I know," Logan said as he kissed Kendall again. Kendall placed his hand on the back of Logan's head and held him in place as he deepened the kiss. Logan moved his lips perfectly with Kendall's. Logan eagerly parted his lips when Kendall nibbled on his bottom lip begging for entrance. Their tongues met in a heated battle. Logan did not care who was around or watching. All that mattered at the moment was him and Kendall.
"Can't leave you two alone for five minutes, can we?" James asked as he and Katie walked over to them. Logan pulled away form Kendall and looked over at James.
"Says the guy who ratted me and Kendall out so he and his girlfriend could sneak off," Logan said. He slid off his car and grinned and James glared at him. "Oh what's this?" Logan asked poking James neck. "Oh look I think Katie has its match," he said pointing at Katie.
"Well now looks like we're not the only ones who can't keep our hands to ourselves," Kendall said walking over to Logan and placing his arms around him.

So there you have it the day leading up to homecoming. I think you know what the next chapter is now.
