'Jenifer Knight, I can not believe this,' a woman with brown curly hair and a scary shade of blue eyes said as she walked up to Kendall's mom and hugged her. Kendall, his mom and Logan had waiting for about ten minutes outside the Mansion. The Butler, a bald old man with a rather thick British accent, had told them the "lady" of the house, presumably James' mom, wanted to see them outside.
'I'm so sorry I left you outside for so long, I wanted to put my finishing touches to the Living room before any guests could see it,' James mom said apologetically.
'Don't worry, I was not at all bothered,' Kendall's mom said truthfully, 'anyway, this is my son Kendall and his friend Logan and they're here to see James,' Kendall's mom said, pushing Kendall and Logan forward, 'hi,' the two boys said, not knowing what else to say.
'Oh hello, James isn't at home right now, he went to the hospital to visit his childhood friend Camille Roberts, the poor thing has been sick with a fever for days,' James' mom said. Logan was not all surprised to know that James was affiliated with Camille Roberts, this just proved, without doubt, that he was bad news. Camille Roberts was the High School nightmare, what with her flowing hair and expensive clothes. She always made everyone feel like trash around her and for some reason, he seemed to be her major target as she had made it a habit to come over to his table at launch time and make fun of him together with her entourage, Jo Taylor and Stephanie King. He always hoped that she would to go back to New York where she had come from or better still die with that fever.
'So can we wait for him?' Kenddall asked. 'Of course you can, everybody please follow me,' James' mom said as she led them into the most beautiful and exquisite Living room in the world. It had a huge Chandalier hanging from the ceiling. Pictures and paintings were hanged on the wall and the room had the best furniture money could buy. The three stared in amazement before sitting down on the couch.
'So Jenifer, please tell me what you've been up to since after high school,' James mom asked after laying out orders to a maid who immediately returned with four glasses of Champagne and gave one to Kendall, his mom and Logan and finally, James' mom. The two were about to start up a conversation about their College days when James walked in.
'Kendall, how did you find my house?' James asked, his surprise and excitment shinning through his eyes. 'Oh James, this my high school buddie Jenifer Knight, her son Kendall and his friend Lo-Lo,' James mom said, 'its Logan actually,' Logan chipped in.
'You guys seriously have to come upstairs and check out my room,' James said sounding even more excited. 'Sure, let's go,' Kendall said, standing up and pulling Logan up with him.
The three boys walked up two flights of stairs before getting to a large corridor that seemed endless. There were mirrors on the walls that surrounded the corridor and James stopped at each one to either admire himself or straighten out his hair. It made Logan sick to realise that on top of everything, James was rather narcissistic.
'Where those this door lead,' Kendall asked, curiously stopping at a door. 'Oh just to my game room,' James replied, 'really? can we go in?' Kendall asked, 'of course,' James said as he opened the door which led to large room which was filled with Hockey sticks, basket balls, video games, Tenis rackets and so on. 'No way, you play Tenis, I play Tenis too,' Kendall said, 'not really, I'm not that good at it but I play Hockey really well, do you guys play hockey?' James asked, 'no, but I heard its really fun, can you teach me?' Kendall asked, 'of course James replied, 'hey Logan, do you want me to teach you hockey too?' 'no, I'm not into sports,' Logan said scowling and trying not to look impressed.
Twenty minutes later, a maid walked in and told Logan and Kendall that Kendall's mom was ready to leave. 'So you guys are coming over tomorow right?' James asked, 'Sure and can I bring my cousin Carlos?' Kendall asked, 'oh Carlos, he seems like a nice guy, sure he can come,' James said as they all walked down the stairs again. With each step, Logan realised that James wasn't just bad news because he was going to end up being a popular jerk, it was also because he was slowly stealing his best friend - Kendall.
