A/N: I was going to update this yesterday like I originally planned but the day got away from me and I didn't want to wait until next Sunday. Well, I hope you all enjoy this chapter of Not From Here! :D

"Kendall! James and Logan are here!" Kendall heard his mom say before he was out the door to his bedroom with his book bag on one shoulder.

Today was the day, first day of junior year. He's been looking forward to the end of High School since the beginning and now he's another year closer. Not that it's bad for him or anything, he's just tired of the idiots in his school. Kendall ran down the steps, jumping over two of them before kissing his mother on the cheek and taking the bagged breakfast she made for him, rubbing his baby sister's head.

"Kendall! I just did my hair!" Katie yelled.

"Really? It looks a little messed up to me." The blonde said, sticking his tongue out at her as he stepped out the door.

The three boys had a routine ever since high school started. James would swing past Logan's house, pick him up and get Kendall before heading to school. It took them a while to master the plan because Logan's parents didn't trust James at all and if it weren't for Kendall those two wouldn't be together. Kendall has always been the relationship guy. He's had plenty of failed relationships so he knows what to do in almost any situation. This year was going to be different. He was going to do something about him being single. Granted, he tried that at the end of sophomore year, planning on having the greatest, most romantic summer. That turned into late night gaming with twelve year olds and being the third wheel of the two idiots, now climbing into the backseat.

This was a part of the routine, of course. James picks up Logan, then picks up Kendall, and on the way to school, Kendall drives while James and Logan fool around in the back. Luckily, the fooling around was all just making out and touching. There was only one instance when Kendall had to slam on the breaks when things got a little too much. It was after their first Christmas break apart since they started dating.

Kendall started driving as the all too familiar sound of the two boys making out started. Logan would be the first to moan, then James, then if it's cold outside, jackets are zipped down, followed by the unzipping of jeans if there's been a break, if not, there would be just them moaning back and forth. But that all depends on the day, of course.

Mondays, if they didn't go on a date, there would be the unzipping of items; Tuesdays, making out, regular moans; Wednesdays, making out, intense moans and threats of intense sex after school, since Logan's parents always work late; Thursdays, making out with how much they love each other; Fridays, Kendall just puts in his headphones before he gets into the car, cracks the windows, and take the long way to school.

Mondays and Fridays, just before they pull into the parking lot of the school, Kendall tosses back a box of tissue and a bottle of hand sanitizer. Kendall rolled his eyes as he tosses back the items, cursing to himself for getting so use to their routine. He needed to find someone quick, preferably someone already out so he won't be in James and Logan's situation of sneaking around. Long story short, Logan's parents don't know and he's scared to tell them.

Kendall walked into his class and he was pretty sure he was the only single one there. Everyone was either talking with someone or making out with them. He spotted one guy, who was sitting there by himself but he was into his book. Kendall sat down at a desk in the front so he wouldn't have to look past the annoying couples to learn. He let out a frustrated sigh when the teacher walked in, smiling on the phone. It's odd that Kendall is the only single guy on the football team. Well, it's odd from someone who doesn't know Kendall very well. All of his jock friends tell him to get with a cheerleader but unless that cheerleader is a guy, he doubted he would want to be with them.

As he was heading to his next class, he bumped into a guy and knocked his books out of his hand by accident. The guy sighed and leaned down to pick up his books. Kendall stopped in the crowded halls and turned to help the guy with his books. When they both stood up, Kendall saw that the boy was crying but before he could say anything, the guy took his books and ran away.

Just as Kendall was about to chase after him, the bell rang, warning him to get to his class. He sighed and made his way to his class. The whole time, he couldn't stop thinking about the crying boy. The weird thing is, he thought he knew everyone at least by who they hung out with. One of the perks of being around footballers and cheerleaders.

"Hey, dude, the teacher said we should work on this together." Guitar Dude said, turning around. Kendall smiled and directed his attention to their paper for the rest of the class. The next time Kendall saw the boy was during lunch.

"Earth to Kendall?" James said, snapping his fingers in his face.

"Yeah."

"You've been out of it since we sat down."

"Sorry."

"Something wrong?"

"I bumped into this guy I've never seen before and he was crying."

"Really?" Logan asked, looking up from his book. Kendall was caught off guard a little because he was sure the small brunette wasn't paying attention.

"Yeah and I wanted to find out what was wrong but he ran away."

"Well that sucks. Maybe he's new." James said, eating his food.

"Must be." There was a silence before anyone spoke. It was more of a gasp and it came from Kendall. Both of the other boys at the table looked up.

"That's him." Kendall told them.

"Yup, he's new, we have class together." James said, looking back at his food.

"What's his name?" Kendall asked, a little too excited.

"I think its Jett."

"Jett!" Kendall called out, shocking the other two boys at the table. The boy looked up, shocked that someone knew his name. He slowly walked over to the table that Kendall was sitting at.

"Yes?" The boy said, shyly.

"I'm Kendall."

"I know, everyone knows Kendall Knight."

"Well, do you know the real me?" Kendall asked and Jett shook his head. Kendall pulled out the chair next to him.

"Come get to know me."

"You don't hate me?"

"W-Why on Earth would you think that?"

"Because I was in your way?"

"You weren't in my way and I would never hate you." Jett smiled and blushed at that. His blush increased when Kendall wrapped his arm around him. Who would've known that today would change both of their lives forever?

9 Months Later

Kendall strolled into school with James and Logan behind him, holding hands. He smiled as he saw his boyfriend. Jett quickly grew out of his shell and started to socialize with everyone that surrounded themselves around Kendall. With the help of Jett, Kendall was able to make it to football captain with James by his side as co-captain. Logan was the only one who hadn't changed as much in those nine months. He still hadn't come out to his parents yet but he was sure they knew. Every time he was on the phone, they would ask if he was talking to James and would always greet him as well. Kendall wrapped his arms around his boyfriend and squeezed him, resting his hands on the new cheerleading uniform he recently acquired.

"How's my new cheer captain?" Kendall asked, kissing him.

"I'm great. We have practice tonight, will you be there?"

"I think we have a practice too."

"Aww." Jett said, frowning.

"We should get to class." Kendall said, smacking his boyfriend's ass. James and Logan had already headed to class by Logan's request, so Kendall grabbed Jett's hand and they walked through the halls until they got to Jett's class. Kendall gave his boyfriend another kiss before he rushed off to his class.

When it was time for lunch, Kendall and Jett walked in hand in hand and headed straight to their table, where Logan and James were already sitting.

"Hey guys." Kendall said as the both of them sat down.

"James, why don't you want to go?"

"Because it's going to be boring."

"How do you know? You must think everything I do is boring."

"I never said that. Kendall, did I say that?"

"What?" The blonde said, raising his eyebrows to the unexpected question.

"You didn't have to say it, it was implied." Logan said, looking away from James.

"What is this about?" Jett asked.

"Logan wants to go to this field trip and he wants me to go with him."

"The field trip to the science facility?"

"Yeah that one."

"What's the problem with that?" Jett asked.

"It's going to be boring, I just know it."

"You never know, James. I thought going to Jett's cheerleading practices was boring until I went." Kendall told him.

"What?"

"Sorry, I thought it was just going to be jumping and running around. I think they're amazing now that I went."

"Okay, I'll go." James said, kissing Logan on his cheek.

"You should've wanted to go just because I asked."

"I'm sorry." James already knew that it's almost impossible for Logan to stay mad at him. Everyone at the table knew that, so everyone looked at Logan until he turned and kissed James.

"Kendall, you and Jett should come too. It can be like a double date thing." Logan said and James nodded.

"Uh-"

"Come on, you never know, guys. It could be fun." James said, sporting a devilish smile.

"When is it?" Jett asked.

"Saturday at 11."

"Sorry, I have practice for a cheer competition but Kendall can still go." Kendall made a mental note to punish Jett for throwing him under the bus.

"Kendall?"

"Sure, why not." Kendall said, shrugging.

"Hey, Carlos." Dr. Wainwright said as she held the button to speak. Carlos smiled and waved at the woman through the window as she typed in the password for his room. The door beeped unlock before the elderly woman stepped in, closing it behind her. She walked over to the middle of the room where Carlos was contained before she opened the clear door.

Carlos has been in the clear box since the day he was found and Dr. Wainwright let him pick out the items he wanted in it when he was old enough. He had a gaming system that Kelly, Dr. Wainwright's daughter, brought to him for his birthday, which they chose as the day he arrived on Earth. He also received a double bed when he broke his smaller bed that was placed in the middle of the room. A gaming chair that he can sit in to play the system. There's a rug that's in the front of Carlos' bed that he spent most of his time on coloring or playing board games on with Kelly. There's also a bookshelf with various books and comics Kelly bought him. Dr. Wainwright tried to keep her daughter away from her work but she eventually had to introduce the two when she couldn't find someone to watch Kelly while she worked. Dr. Wainwright used the time that Carlos interacted with Kelly to study how Carlos was around new people. The more time she spent studying him, the more she realized how human he was.

"How are you?" Carlos asked the woman as she entered his room.

"I'm doing fine. How about you?"

"I'm great. Kelly came by earlier and brought me this new game." Carlos said, jumping off his bed to grab the game case. He handed it to Dr. Wainwright and she couldn't help but smile at the boy's excitement.

"It's about the characters I've been reading about in the comic books. They're fighting each other and stuff. It's so cool."

"Injustice: Gods Among Us, huh? Have you been winning?"

"Yeah, but it's kind of hard."

"Well, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it."

"Yeah." Carlos said as another match began.

"Which one are you?"

"I'm Superman."

"Oh, this game is kind of violent. I don't know about you playing this."

"B-But it's not bad for me. Kelly said it herself."

"Okay." Dr. Wainwright watched Carlos as he played the game, hoping it didn't have a violent impact on him.

In the years of studying him, he has been the perfect child. He picked up on things really well. He knows two languages and wanted to learn a third but they didn't have a teacher for another one. General Griffin blames his intelligence on him being from another planet but Dr. Wainwright just thinks Carlos is a smart boy. General Griffin is always quick to remind Dr. Wainwright where Carlos came from. The older woman in her years of studying hadn't found anything out of the ordinary about Carlos. It wasn't until Kelly got into high school that she would start to question her mother's motives with Carlos.

Dr. Wainwright had no intention of letting Carlos into the general public but the boy was quickly learning that there was something beyond the clear walls that enclosed him. So, in agreement with her daughter, Carlos was going to experience the world little by little. Kelly would bring Carlos things from their house or she would go out and buy him things. Dr. Wainwright never really explained all of the holidays to Carlos in fear of him wanting to experience them and leave his room.

During Christmas, Dr. Wainwright would always get up with Kelly and take all of their presents to where Carlos was before they opened them together. Dr. Wainwright traditionally stuck with average clothes and small toys while Kelly would bring him games and brands that he tended to like. General Griffin brought up that Carlos needed a manly figure in his life and tried to be that but he ended up scaring Carlos. Dr. Wainwright suggested that he just stand in the background and continue to help with the studies.

"What do you want for lunch?"

"Um, I don't know."

"Do you want chicken nuggets?" Carlos paused the game and thought about it.

"Yeah but Kelly brought me some different ones from…McDonalds."

"Carlos that stuff isn't really good for you."

"I know but it was so good."

"I'll see if she can bring you some."

"Yay, thank you." Carlos said, giving the woman a hug. She watched him resume the video game before she left and headed to where she left her purse.

As Dr. Wainwright closed the door, she sighed, knowing Carlos eating those unhealthy things weren't good for him but she didn't want to disappoint the boy. She dialed her daughter's number and waited for her to pick up.

"Hey mom."

"Hey Kelly, Carlos told me that you brought him some chicken nuggets from McDonalds."

"Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't have lunch and I thought it would be good to get him something besides that food he usually eats and-"

"Kelly, its fine. I was actually calling you to see if you could bring him some more."

"Oh. Sure, I'll be there in a few."

"Thank you."

"No problem." When Dr. Wainwright hung up the phone General Griffin walked in.

"Dr. Wainwright?"

"Yes?"

"The scientists have found something they need you to see." Dr. Wainwright nodded her head before following the General out, glancing back at Carlos playing the video game.

A/N: One thing that I love about this chapter is that I get to introduce Kendall and then show Carlos' environment. It's almost a compare and contrast. I also get to bring up Kendall and Jett's relationship. Thanks for reading and reviews are much appreciated. :D
