Classes were awkward that week, especially Chemistry. Logan dreaded walking into Chemistry. He set his stuff down on the seat next to Kendall's and pulled out the things he'd need for class. He figured he should at least try to talk to Kendall.
"Hi." Kendall shot Logan a look before turning to face the front of the room again. Logan sat down readied himself to take notes. "So, you're still ignoring me?" He saw Kendall's eyebrow shoot up and he knew that was a yes. He sighed.
"You're acting like I don't have a good reason." He heard Kendall growl through his teeth.
"You blew up on me for spending time with my boyfriend." He heard Kendall laugh sarcastically when he'd heard the word boyfriend. "You said I was dumb for liking him."
"I still think you are." The teacher turned around and glared at the two over his glasses. They apologized and went back to taking notes until he turned back around. "He's going to hurt you."
"Why do you care?"
"Because I care about you." Logan's eyebrows furrowed. "You're my friend. I don't like seeing my friends hurt."
"Well, thanks for caring but I can take care of myself." He saw Kendall shake his head and continued to take notes in silence for a few minutes. "I'm sorry for talking about your ex. It was the first thing that I thought of and I thought it would-"
"Apology accepted if you never bring him up again."
"Does that mean that I'm allowed to come to movie night?"
"Why wouldn't you be allowed at your own house?" Logan looked at him questioningly and he laughed. "Carlos told the repercussions of ditching movie night. It'll be hosted at la casa de Mitchell this weekend."
Movie night was just what the boys needed. Everything had been forgotten thirty minutes into Freddie Vs. Jason.
"Which one of you is going to help me clean?" Carlos ran upstairs the minute he heard something related to cleaning. Kendall and Logan laughed at how fast the boy actually made it up the stairs. "I guess it's you."
"I guess so." Kendall plugged in the vacuum and began moving around the living room. "Your house is really nice." He shouted above the whirring and clanging.
"Thanks. My mom's still putting the finishing touches on everything." Logan swept the popcorn of of the laminate and into the dustpan. His phone rattled on the table.
Hey cutie. I was thinking about you.
You should come over.
My cousin's out and I miss you.
You haven't even come to the library to see me this week. :(
xx james.
"James?" Logan dropped the phone in shock. He hadn't even heard the vacuum shut off. "My cousin's out and I miss you? I hope you know what he means."
"That his cousin's out of the house and he wants to see me."
"You're really naive, aren't you?" Kendall emptied the vacuum into the garbage and made his way back over to Logan. "He was thinking about you. Aka, he's horny. 'You should come over', meaning 'You're my boyfriend. You're required to fuck me.' and the house is empty so you have the opportunity. The 'I miss you' was just thrown in to bait you into coming. Then he's trying to make you guilty by making it seem like you're a bad boyfriend because you haven't seen him all week."
"Oh yeah? What makes you an expert at deciphering text messages?"
"You see, Logan. There are street smarts and book smarts. I've dealt with people like him before." He patted Logan on the head and ruffled his hair. "You've only read about them. Life's not a book."
Logan stuck his tongue out at Kendall and opened up a new text message.
I can't now, James.
I have a few friends staying over tonight.
Maybe we can meet up tomorrow?
It took all of two seconds for James to respond.
No. It's alright.
Tomorrow's no good.
james
Logan couldn't help but to notice that the kisses were gone from James' signature. Did I make him mad?
That night while Carlos and Logan were asleep, Kendall wandered around Logan's house. He was a light sleeper and the current raging thunderstorm was keeping him up. He scanned the walls and looked over all of the pictures, smiling at the ones of Logan when he was younger.
His eyes shot to the coffee table in the living room when he heard a rattling noise. A blue glow settled over the room as Logan's phone continued to alarm. He walked over and picked it up.
Will I see you this week, babe?
xx james
Kendall went to the main menu and marked the message as unread. He made a mental note of James' ecsessive use of pet names.
"Cheater." He mumbled on his way up the stairs. He sat against the wall under Logan's window and promised himself. "I'm going with him from now on."
Monday rolled around and it made Kendall sick how happy Logan had been all day just because he was seeing that tool.
"Hey, buddy?"
"Yeah, Kendall?" Logan turned to face him and looked deep into his eyes, as if searching for his question. It almost made Kendall forget his point completely.
"You know how I'm really bad in Trig? Well, we have the test tomorrow and I was hoping you could help me."
"It's kind of short notice, I've got plans right after sch-"
"You can't let your best friend fail." Kendall stuck out his bottom lip and clasped his hands together. "Pleeeeaaase?"
"Well when you make that face-"
"Thanks. I'll wait for you after gym."
As soon as they walked into the building, Logan made a beeline for the front desk. Kendall moved to the nearest table and set his stuff down, fake dry-heaving when he saw them kiss. They both turned to look at him and he waved. After a few minutes Logan made his way over to the table.
"Okay, so what do you need help with?"
"Everything." Logan sighed, and opened the book. Kendall was determined to occupy as much of Logan's time as he could. James would only hurt him, and until he realized that Kendall would take matters into his own hands.
