So as a warning there will be some Jo bashing mostly because I don't really like her. Also This chapter is to introduce Kendall's clingyness towards Alana, plus Jo gets jealous but she doesn't understand Kendall and Alana's relationship. Anyway, I'll just let you read the story. Please leave a review when you're done. =]
Alana stepped out the elevator her dark green canvas bag over her right shoulder as she carried a large black musical instrument case in her left hand by the handle. She had orchestra today and was currently thinking if she'd packed her sheet music.
"Ally cat," a familiar voice called to her.
"Yeah Kenny," she turned around doing her best to not smack him with the large case.
"Where are you going?" he inquired head tilted to the side.
"School, unlike you I actually go to one."
"I go to school," he protested hands sitting squarely on his hips.
"Don't do that, you look like a girl," she said smacking his hands of his hips with her right hand.
The blond rolled his eyes at the chocolate girl; he still didn't understand why she always said that.
"Anyway, where's my goodbye hug?" he asked once again putting his hands on his hips.
"How old are you 4?" she replied with a raised brow. "Besides I can't give a hug with this in my hand."
"Put it on the floor, and then you hug me."
"Someone could steal it."
"Who would steal your cello, besides it weighs like 200 pounds."
"It does not, you're just weak."
"I am not…now give me a hug."
Rolling her eyes Alana put down her cello and wrapped her arms around Kendall who tightly hugged her back. Lately he'd been hugging her a lot more than usual, but deciding not to press the issue, she pulled away from him and picked up her instrument.
"Bye Kenny," she said as she turned around and continued her walk out of the lobby.
"Have a good day," he yelled after her causing a grin to spread on her face.
"Thanks mom," she called over her shoulder, in the corner of her eye she could see him grin.
"What's up with you?"
"Who…me?" Kendall replied dumbly as he looked to James curiously.
"Yeah you, what's up with you lately?" the taller boy asked as they sat down on the wooden floor.
They had all just finished learning new choreography, for a reason that Gustavo wouldn't clarify...as usual.
"I don't know what you're talking about," the blond replied smoothly leaning against the wall.
"Yeah you do, now what's wrong with you?" James repeated looking at Kendall intently.
"There's nothing wrong with me," he replied getting up from the floor.
"I think it has something to do with Ally," Logan muttered after the blond left the room.
"Doesn't everything have to do with her?" Carlos replied with a quirked brow.
"It's always has been, he just doesn't know it," James muttered with a shake of his head.
"I think Jo might have noticed," Logan said with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Of course she'd notice she's his girlfriend," Carlos said rolling his eyes. "She asked me if Kendall and Ally used to date."
"You didn't tell her did you?" the tallest asked slightly alarmed.
"No, if I did she'd make it into something," the Latino responded with a grunt.
"Exactly," Logan spoke his lips setting into a thin line.
Kendall stepped back into the room with a bottle of water in hand; he looked to his friends with a raised brow.
"So what were you guys talking about?"
"Two camels in a tiny car," Carlos responded with a serious expression.
"You have got to lay off the youtube," the blond responded with a chuckle.
The Latino only grinned in response as he adjusted the strap of his ever present helmet. As the blond sat between his friends, James was going to ask again but was interrupted by Gustavo who demanded that they all cram into the studio to rehearse their vocals.
"You guys know where Ally is?" Kendall said to his friends as they all lounged by the pool.
The ire and annoyance that flashed across Jo's features went unnoticed by her boyfriend but not his friends. Yet the three of them thought it best to not point it out.
"I think she's at band practice or orchestra I don't remember," James replied with a thinking face.
"Or she might be doing the music for one of the musicals, or auditioning for one," Logan further supplied.
"I guess," the blond male sighed still unaware of his girlfriend's irritation.
"Why are you so worried?" she asked managing to hide her jealousy.
"Because she's my best friend," he replied simply.
"Aren't they your best friends too?"
"She's my first best friend," he said neglecting to mention that Ally was also his favorite.
Jo didn't say anything else, just did her best to not show her increasing annoyance at Kendall's worry for Alana. She honestly didn't understand what was so wonderful about her; she seemed like everyone else at the Palm Woods. But she didn't know that there was much more to Alana than what she saw.
With out warning Kendall hopped up from the pool chair almost knocking Jo off with him, but the girl managed to stay seated not like he noticed though.
"I'll be right back," he exclaimed and sauntered to the lobby.
"Where's he going?" Jo asked turning to Logan whose face was stuck in a thick book.
"He's the dog anxiously waiting his master's return," the young genius replied not lifting his eyes from his book. "Despite how harsh that may sound."
The blond girl pursed her lips and sat back in the pool chair, crossed her arms and tried to figure out if she wanted to pout or scowl.
"Where have you been?" Kendall chided narrowing his eyes and placing his hands on his hips as he glared at Alana.
"Orchestra, and I had to talk see about the musical, put your hands down; haven't I told you about that," Alana replied with an amused expression.
"Couldn't you at least text me?" he asked crossing his arms.
"Who are you my wife, my mother or my best friend?" the chocolate girl responded struggling to hide her smile.
"Ally," he whined giving her a puppyish expression.
"Oh jezz," she sighed put down her instrument case and hugged the boy who happily hugged her back. "You know you're girlfriend may start getting jealous."
"No she won't."
"Trust me Kendall; I know what type of girl she is."
"I'm sure she's more understanding than you think."
"She'll show you her true colors, they always do," she said picking up the large case and walked around the blond.
Kendall titled his head in confusion wondering what she meant, shrugging his shoulders he sauntered after her. Catching up to her he took the instrument case from her hand and slung his arm over her petite shoulders. A smile crept its way onto her face as they walked to the elevator.
"You don't have to walk me to the elevator," she said as the elevator doors slid open.
"I want to though," he replied squeezing her closer.
"Swear I'm dealing with a 6 year old," Alana sighed as they stepped into the elevator.
"Oh you know you love me."
"And I always will," she replied. 'Your girlfriend can't know about that though,' she thought as they rode up to her floor.
"Where is he?" Jo nearly shrieked.
"Probably with Alana," James replied with a bored tone as he combed his already perfect hair.
"Why would he be with her?" the blond girl asked confused as well as irritated. Kendall was supposed to be with her right not Alana; she balled her hands at her sides shaking in anger.
"Why don't you ask him?" Carlos blurted curtly gazing at her in mild irritation.
Huffing loudly Jo stomped her away from the pool back to the lobby, Carlos sighed in relief. He wasn't in the mood to deal with a jealous, whiny girlfriend.
"She's really annoying you know," he said covering his face with both hands and released a sound that combined a groan and a sigh.
"You can say that again," Logan agreed turning a page in his book while James nodded in agreement.
