HOLY CRAP. YOU GUYS LOVED THIS SHIT. THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Haha, just kidding. The first chapter was pretty epic, I know. Oh! And, to lengthen the intros up here, I'm gonna respond to you guys' comments and reviews! So, here we go:

WalkingTragedyButISmile- I will continue writing this. It's kinda my plan. So…yeah.

Fang lover23- Love the Spanish. Amigos/amigas gotta stick together. And yes, Logan is extremely dirty. Seriously. Especially when he's, like, high in Big Time Fever. Anyone else think that? Eh, whatever.

Hikari of Death- Thank you for the compliment! Even if I don't know exactly what "OMFMFG" stands for…I appreciate it. Hey, see if you can translate this: ILPWLMSY! And yes, that actually is a sensible acronym.

hellfirehalo188- "Surprisingly"? Surprisingly? The fuck did you expect? Seriously! Well, guess what? You have a surprisingly cool username!

DinosaurShapedChicken- I am actually a big fan of yours. So, to see that you like my story enough to say the things that you did made me smile. :D And I'm glad you think it's sexy and gross at the same time. That's actually my sense of humor. But if you see my humor, you'll see that I have more sarcasm in my spoken words than my written. Oh, and I think you'll see some Jarlos in this chapter… *smirks*

PIRATEofHOGWARTS- Thanks for the capital letters. It warms my heart and makes me feel like I'm standing naked in a pool of puppies…wait, that's kinda gross. Sorry.

MinuteCloser2Failing- I know! I'm surprised that no one thought of this before me! But, here I am, the only one where the boys are in a small ghetto part of Minnesota! (Is there even a ghetto in Minnesota…?)

bowsie22- FINALLY! SOMEONE agrees with me! Geez, you should hear my friends debate about this subject…some of them guys… o.O

CrayonsPink- Oh my god! My story got you so excited that, though you use periods, you have terrible grammar! Thank you! *bows*

The Brat Prince- Should I be scared that my words are eating people? Especially my fans? *shrugs* Whatever. Anyway, you'll see more gangster-y stuff in this chapter.

Eneune- I'm updating now! Is that soon enough? I'm seriously concerned here!

fiyafreak92- Yes. Logan is very smexy, especially when he's a gay stripper. xD

Warnings: slash, smex, guy on guy, hooker shit, other stuff of that genre

Disclaimer: I don't own BTR! I wish I did, but I don't.

"C'mon, Logan. Grow a pair."

Logan slammed his locker shut. "Carlos!" He hissed, exasperated. "I have a good reason to be scared! Think about it! One word gets out, we won't live to get to graduation!"

The Latino snorted. "Are you kidding me? You're the smart one, aren't you?" He asked. Logan raised an eyebrow. Carlos glanced around at the hallway, then turned Logan away from the crowd. "Knight and Diamond are in a gang, right?" Logan nodded. "Gangsters aren't gay. Chances are, if they leak that we work there, someone's gonna ask them where they got the info. We know that they probably can't lie well, look at them. They'd have to say that they were there. And if they do that, then they're as good as dead."

Logan blinked. He hadn't thought of that. "I…I guess you're right."

"Damn straight I'm right." Carlos huffed, looking triumphant.

"I still think we should avoid them, though. I don't feel like becoming anyone's bitch at the moment." Logan said, looking at his feet. "I'm too young."

"Oh, please, you're seventeen. Man up." Carlos sighed. They turned around in unison to be almost face to face with the two boys that had just been talking about (Kendall and James were taller). The two shorter boys slammed against the wall in shock.

They look pissed! Logan thought.

"H-hey, guys." Carlos stuttered, then cleared his throat, looking down at the floor.

"Wh-what brings you t-t-to th-this side of the spectrum?" Logan asked, his voice wavering. Carlos and Logan were both fairly invisible, but Kendall and James were two of the most popular males in the school.

"We saw you. You saw us." Kendall grunted simply. Oh, god, he's an imbecile! Logan sobbed in his head. He won't know how to kill me without crushing my skull to dust first!

"You were actually pretty good." James said bluntly. "Better than some other people I've seen."

"Pay us well, you get more." Carlos suddenly blurted. Logan's eyes flew open wide and he elbowed his friend.

"Excuse us one minute." He smiled nervously at the older boys before turning Carlos around. "The fuck are you thinking, you whore?" He hissed under his breath, slapping the Latino upside the head. "You want your ass to whistle as you walk down the halls?"

"If it was open 'cause of the brunette, hell yeah." Carlos winked. "He's hot!"

Logan facepalmed. "My best friend is not only an idiot, but a slutty idiot." They turned around to face the other boys, Logan flinching slightly.

"Listen," Kendall started, sounding much less pissed off (and a bit more open to letting Logan live with his virginity intact) than before, "we don't want to make anyone our bitches."

"Yeah. He's always the diplomat." James grumbled.

Kendall gave a sour look to his friend. "I'm surprised you even know what 'diplomat' even means." He retorted.

"I'm surprised you do." James shot back.

"Dude, you suck at comebacks." Kendall rolled his eyes, then looked back at Logan and Carlos. Carlos, being the extroverted little bugger he is, was already standing normally in front of Kendall and James like he would if he were talking to Logan, but Logan was shyer and easier to make anxious, so he was still pressing himself as close to the wall as possible. "Anyway. Carlos is right. We would get thrown in jail, and not by the police."

"We'd be the bitches." James interrupted.

Kendall nodded gravely. "And, even if that weren't the case, we wouldn't rat you guys out anyway. We're not like that." He smiled. "We would, however, enjoy the chance to get to know you two."

Logan was shocked. "Y-you…what?" He gasped.

"What time?" Carlos asked.

James raised his eyebrows in surprise that the Latino would react so quickly (and well) to the condition. "You don't want to know what you get in return?" He asked.

"I do!" Logan squeaked. Carlos rolled his eyes and looked at the genius.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Grow a pair and get over it! It'll give us a chance to breathe fresher air!" He cried, pulling Logan from the wall.

"You're the one who practically crossdresses!" Logan hissed quietly. Carlos' eye twitched slightly in anger, but turned towards the other boys.

"Give us a time before I beat the shit out of my only friend." He growled.

Kendall looked worried. They seem less stable then they did from the other end of the hall…but that's probably how our friendship seems, too… He thought, glancing at James. "What about Friday? After school? We could-"

"We're not free Friday…" Logan interrupted. Kendall held in a grin. It was nice to hear him actually talk, even if his eyes were avoiding the blonde at all costs.

"You always work on the same nights?" James asked.

Carlos nodded. "It's easier that way." He said, smiling at Logan.

"Your boss doesn't mind?" Kendall asked.

"You kidding me? She loves it! She thinks we're gonna end up hooking up." Carlos shrugged.

"As if." Logan chuckled. "No way in hell I'd ever want that."

Carlos glared. "That popularity's gotten to your head, bitch." He said.

Logan grinned. "Shut up, bro." He said, elbowing his friend. The two smiled at each other. Logan looked back at Kendall and James. "But you can meet us out back after we go on."

Kendall blinked. His emotions had been temporarily blinded by the beauty of Logan's smile. And James recognized this. So he spoke up.

"Uh…yeah. What time would that be?" He asked.

"Maybe around…five?" Carlos guessed. Logan nodded.

"About then." He said.

"Cool." James said, clapping his hands together. "Until then, boys." He grabbed Kendall by the shoulder and led him away to their class. Once the pair were out of earshot, the brunette slapped Kendall on the back of his neck, waking him up. "Dude! The fuck was that?" He hissed.

Kendall shook his head, staring at his feet. "No clue."

James sighed. Sometimes, he wondered why he was friends with Kendall in the first place. But he knew why – Kendall was the only one that could put up with his slightly vain ways. Anyone else would be at their wit's end within days. "Stay focused next time, please. The shorter one was cute. And funny. I don't wanna fuck that up."

"Yeah, I know." Kendall shook his head. "Sorry. I don't know what happened."

"Just make sure it doesn't happen again." James growled, stomping into the classroom, Kendall on his heels like a shadow. A taller, blonde, and more muscular shadow.

Logan let out a long breath. Finally home. It was one of his safe havens, even if it wasn't technically…safe. He laid down on the couch.

"Hey, Logan!"

He looked up and saw his younger sister, Jo, standing there. He smiled. As much as his days sucked, Jo seemed to make them better in her own way. "Hey, Jo." He greeted.

"So, I'm gonna go hang out with Guitar Dude, okay?" She pulled a puppy dog face, something that Logan could never say no to.

"Alright." He sighed, sitting up. "Be safe. Use his real name. Don't do anything stupid."

She rolled her eyes, laughing. She hugged me before walking out. "Love ya!"

"Love you too." He called back. He sighed, lying back down.

"Phew! Thought she'd never leave!"

Carlos jumped from Logan didn't know where and onto his legs. He groaned.

"Ow." Logan tried getting him off, but he was too heavy for the genius' tired limbs.

"See why you should work out more? You get exhausted after one gym class." Carlos pointed out.

"And yet, I'm a pole dancer." Logan retorted. Carlos laughed. "What are you doing here? I thought you went the other way. You know, the way to your house."

"That house is not a home, Logan." Carlos sighed dramatically.

"Imagine if you will," Logan laughed.

"What I mean is…" Carlos hesitated, and Logan could see the wheels turning in the Latino's head. "Okay, shut up." He finally gave up. "But I'm bored! And it's Wednesday! And you know how I get on Wednesdays."

"Unfortunately," Logan grumbled under his breath, glaring at the door. The poor, innocent door.

"What?"

"Nothing!" Logan cried, brightening, smiling at his best friend. Carlos raised an eyebrow, but let it go.

"C'mon, let's do something!" He whined, pulling on Logan's sleeve like a little kid and pouting in the same fashion. "Let's go shopping!"

"We won't be able to without looking ridiculous." Logan reasoned. "You're gonna make me go to a fucking girl's store to buy you shit for your sisters or mom. And if not that, then a sex toy shop run by your uncle-"

"That was one time, dude. Let it go already!"

"I was scared, Carlos. Those guys were ready to-"

"Alright, I get it. No need to remind me…"

Logan huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "Anyway." He said. "Why can't we just stay here?"

"Because your house is boring."

"If my house were alive, I'm sure it'd think you're boring, too."

Carlos laughed. "Fine, fine. I get it. You're too traumatized to go shopping." He said. "But can we at least eat something? I'm starving!"

"That's what happens when you start a food fight." Logan pointed.

"I know, right?" Carlos grinned. "I can't believe they didn't figure out I started it! They're such idiots to think that it was…whoever it was…"

"Wayne Wayne, Carlos," Logan sighed. "His name is Wayne Wayne."

"More like Conceited Conceited." Carlos huffed. "The hell kinda name is that?"

"It's a nickname, you dumbass." Logan said. "His friends came up with it for him. And plus, he's in a gang. Don't slander his name, especially not literally."

"Not the same as Kendall and James, I hope?"

"Nah. Wayne Wayne is part of a gang that's part of the drug circle. Kendall and James' people steer clear of that shit."

"You seem to know a lot about the gang circles in our town, Logan."

"I'm surprised you don't."

There was a moment of silence. Finally, Carlos broke the silence by giggling.

"'Slander… Since when were we living in the 1800's?" He laughed.

"Carlos." Logan began in a warning tone. "If you don't shut up now, I'm going to wring your neck and drop your corpse off at James' house."

"You know where he lives?"

"Not yet, but I'll have to once I poison your food."

"You know you love me."

"I'm not sure I do."

"Wanna watch a movie?"

"Absolutely."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaannd…CUT! Okay, so…how you like it? This chapter did have a bit more Jarlos, and the end was just to show the friendship between Logan and Carlos, just because I thought it'd be cute. Also! Bonus! It gave me an idea to do for a story, which should be out by tonight!

xD Haha, don't ask. Just enjoy!

Kendall: I'm curious as to what this new story could be…

It's a oneshot.

Logan: Ah. Very interesting.

Shut up.

Carlos: So…are we not gonna get famous in this story?

No, you're not. Why? Sad about that?

James: I AM!

Well, too bad.

James: Bitch.

Kendall: This chapter had no stripping… *pouts*

There'll be plenty in the next chapter, Kendall.

Kendall: *smirks*

Logan: Oh, god. Are we gonna get raped?

Not yet. I MEAN…UH…NO…

Carlos: WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'YET'?

I didn't say 'yet'! Get out my face! *turns to readers* GET OUT! RATE AND REVIEW!
