Ah, now you hear the boys' side of things…

Oh, don't own LK.

When James fled, he wasn't really sure what to expect. He ran nervously to Brendan's house, even though he didn't know its exact location. However, luckily for James, Brendan was outside shooting hoops. He slowly walked over to his friend.

"Hey, Brendan," James greeted.

Brendan looked over at James. His shot missed and he scowled.

"Hey. Want to play?" Brendan asked friendlily.

"Sure," James answered.

Brendan took a double-take at James.

"You wearing lipstick?" Brendan asked, mildly horrified.

James swiped a hand across his lips, blushing a vivid red.

"Uh, not exactly. That would probably be from when I was kissed," James muttered in explanation.

Brendan blanched, missing his shot again.

"You got kissed?" Brendan gaped.

James nodded.

"That's why I just said it, Genius," James exclaimed sarcastically.

"Who?" Brendan gasped.

James shrugged.

"I don't know that she'd want me to tell you. A friend of mine once told me that a gentleman never kisses and tells," James responded slowly, grabbing the ball and shooting a basket.

Brendan caught the ball, making a basket himself.

"Jamie, you're fourteen. I seriously doubt you're a gentleman," Brendan remarked cockily.

James smirked.

"Sarah would agree with you," He replied.

Brendan shot James a look.

"You kiss her?" He demanded calmly.

James shook his head.

"Nope."

Brendan guarded James, who had the ball, closely. James attempted a shot and Brendan immediately shot it down, grabbing the ball and doing an easy lay-up.

"So, Jamie, man, who kissed you?" Brendan bombarded.

James looked down at his feet, dribbling.

"Look, I shouldn't tell you."

"Come on, man," Brendan goaded.

James faked a shot to the right, shooting to the left while Brendan went to the right.

"Okay, okay, fine. Just don't go spreading it around. Sarah's already going to kill me anyways," James began in a low tone.

Brendan gaped a little.

"You kissed Sarah?"

James' eyes widened.

"No! How many times must I tell you that I didn't kiss Sarah?" James snapped, annoyed.

He paused for a moment.

"No. I kissed… Well, you call her Marge, in front of Sarah," James replied honestly.

Brendan's jaw dropped, and he didn't even move to block James' next ten shots. Finally, he gulped, and looked up at James, apprehensive.

"So, uh, how was it?" Brendan mumbled worriedly.

James shrugged, thinking for a moment.

"Well, I don't know. It's hard to explain…" James began.

Brendan shot James a glare and upon his look, James swallowed and began speaking again.

"Okay, it was, uh… Wow's the only word that can even remotely describe it. You'd have to experience it to understand…" James trailed off.

Brendan nodded, gazing at the ground somewhat sadly.

And then Haley crossed the street, Brendan looked up, grinning cruelly.
