Chapter 3:
POOL SIDE
"And you see the Amazon in the purple bikini, that's her. She just looked at Kendall like he was a piece of meat that she wanted to get her knife into." Jo said to Camille as they tanned by the pool.
"And what did Kendall do?" Camille asked.
"Oh you know him. Too oblivious to notice, I mean really I dated Travis under his nose for two months and he never noticed." Jo said.
"Travis?" Camille asked confused.
"Did I not tell you? I went out with Guitar dude, his real name is Travis, and we broke up a week ago." Jo said nonchalantly.
"Oh…. And who is she?" Camille asked. As a shorter brunette in a teal bikini joined the girl named Maggie in the pool.
"I think that is Jamie Bennett according to what the guys said. They were showing me pictures, but I was too distracted by the girl who kept staring at my boyfriend. By the way, Logan turned bright red every time she was brought up." Jo informed her.
Camille readjusted her bathing suit. She didn't have any reason to care. Logan and her had broken up. She had no reason to be jealous, she was moving on. If Logan wanted some snow bunny pop star from Minnesota, instead of a true, method actress like herself, so be it. He just had a poor taste in character.
"Well sweetheart. We are not letting some. . Some. . Cookie cutter pop star steal your man away from you." Camille assured Jo.
"TIMBER!" they heard from across the pool, and they looked up just in time to see all four BTR boys throw the two girls from Minnesota into the pool. Causing a giant wave to splash all over them, and their hair.
IN THE POOL
"KENDALL KNIGHT! I HATE YOU!" Maggie yelled as she resurfaced the water.
"No you don't. You hate that I always win." He replied smartly. She stuck her tongue out at him and pulled him into the pool with her and Jamie. The other boys soon followed.
"So, where are Isabella and Katie?" James asked as he hugged his sister.
"Katie didn't feel well." Jamie replied, nodding towards Carlos who was doing a handstand under water. "And Isabella decided to keep her company." The three boys nodded. Carlos had told them about Katie's confession.
They had all told him to call her, tell her his feelings. But he kept putting it off. The truth was he was terrified. Terrified that a long distance relationship would ruin not just their relationship, but their friendship as well. And Carlos found Katie too precious to lose.
"Look, we will talk to him. Try and convince him to confess to Katie. You guys go enjoy yourselves. Maybe meet some new friends. Maggie can go kick some guy's ass in pool basketball. Don't you two worry your pretty little heads about it. We will sort it all out." Kendall assured the girls.
"Fine." Maggie agreed. Hugging Kendall for helping her friends and getting out of the pool. She pulled Jamie along with her.
PALM WOODS LOBBY
"MAGGIE DIAMOND! JAMIE BENNETT!" called a young girl from the entrance to the apartment complex.
"KATIE KNIGHT!" Both girls screamed back. As Katie ran at them full force.
"Mom said you guys were coming to LA! Have you seen the boys, do they know? Did you meet the witch? The witch's flying monkey?" Katie asked
"Yes here we are! Yes, yes, yes, and no." Maggie replied.
"Yes, yes, yes, no and no" Jamie said.
"OH, the witch is Kendall's girlfriend Jo. And her flying monkey is Logan's psycho ex Camille. I see them right now, come with me." Katie grabbed the girl's hands and dragged them towards to the two soaked girls by the pool.
APARTMENT 2J
"Look Carlos, sit down." Logan directed as the boys arrived back from their swim. Logan wanted to take this like ripping off a band-aid.
"Whats up guys?" Carlos asked.
"Look Carlos, you know we love you like a brother, but if you don't talk to Katie, we might have to take drastic measures." James said. He hated seeing all of the girls upset, and if one of them was sad, all of them were. It was a girl thing.
"Guys, I know it's bad. But Katie is the most important thing to me. I don't want to lose her, ever. And if we break up, that's exactly what would happen. But I know that if I don't do it soon, some other guy will come around and take her from me. And my jealousy could ruin us too. I need time. But I need you guys to stall. Stop any guy from talking to her; I'll be two days at the most. Please guys, I think I love her." Carlos finished.
All of the guys sighed. They knew that Carlos loved Katie. How could he not? Katie was a dare devil, never backed down from a bet, she dressed crazily, never caring what people thought of her, and the girl had an endless supply of energy. They would have been more shocked if he had said he didn't love her.
"Okay, we'll do it. But only for two days." Kendall agreed.
POOL SIDE
"Jo? The devil child is bringing the amazon and her friend over here." Camille reported to her friend who was currently flirting with an aspiring model. Jo snapped her head around to greet her boyfriends little sister.
"Katie." She greeted with a giant fake smile, that any politician would've been jealous of.
"Hi Jo. Have you met Maggie and Jamie. Maggie played hockey with the boys. She and Kendall were voted class cuties every year since 6th grade. And Camille, did you know that the first time Logan sang it was to Jamie? It was her birthday, and her birthday present was a sereade from Logan." Katie informed the two bikini clad –now intensely jealous- girls.
"Katie, I don't think they want to hear about that. I think we should go." Jamie said herding Katie back into the lobby.
As they entered the lobby the three girls cracked up at the look on the girls' faces. They had never seen anyone turn that red in anger before.
