Chapter 6 –

I awoke to the sweet smell of Star's cooking. Our morning was pleasant. I felt especially good because it was the first time I actually fell asleep next to a girl that I really liked. She seemed just fine about the whole break up with Dak which boosted up my spirits even more.

"What's you with you and Kendall?" She asked.

I pretended to be confused and told her that nothing was wrong.

"Don't give me that. I have an eye for these things!"

She was very insisting, so I told her everything there was to tell about the fight. Of course I altered things around a bit. I still wasn't ready to tell her how I felt.

"You need to apologize."

"Me? He started it!"

"I don't care, you're saying sorry and I'm coming with you." She threw me my shirt and dragged me all the way to 2J.

Star knocked on the door continuously until someone opened the door. Just my luck, it was Kendall. He eyed us both conspicuously. In the background, James and Logan were signaling things to me that looked like 'What up dude!' or 'Hey, good job bro!" They both seemed happy that I was with Star.

"Kendall, Carlos told me everything. Now… be friends!" Star pushed us closer together.

I thought the tension would never end. Kendall smiled and reached his hand out to me, and I shook it.

"Hey man, we're cool. I'm sorry." Kendall said.

"Yeah, I'm sorry too." Finally, no more tension.

"Yay! See, I told you!" Star was jumping up and down. She was so full of energy.

"Thanks, Star," Kendall said. Then he turned to me, "Can I talk to you about something?"

I looked at Star first to make sure that it was okay. She gave me a hug and said that she was gonna meet up with Jo and Camille; leaving me with the guys.

James got up and shoved me playfully. "So, what did you two lovebirds do last night?"

His question caught me off guard, "How did you know I was with her?"

"Camille." Logan said smiling.

I knew there was no way out of not telling them what happened, so I told them everything there was to say.

"You understand that if Gustavo caught you we would all be in deep shit, right?" Kendall said.

"Who cares! But are you serious Gustavo told her that you liked her?" James put down his Man Fashion magazine and went hysterical.

I nodded and walked over to the orange couch and sat next to James. Even if I had an awesome night with Star, I missed the sick interiors of 2J.

"Well, you better get good at hiding your feelings; Gustavo said that Griffin wanted to have some kind of party slash festival here at the Palm Woods. He wants to emphasize how we're big shots now, that means, all the hot stars are gonna be here." Logan explained.

"No problem," I said. "But speaking of hot stars, you think she'll be into the whole 'party slash festival' thing?"

"Duh! But that means Gustavo will be there. Don't get your hopes too high." Kendall handed me a note from Gustavo. It pretty much rewarded everything the guys told me in Gustavo's terms. It said:

CARLOS, WHERE YOU ARE, DO NOT FREAK OUT AT THE FESTIVAL.
YOU GUYS ARE PERFORMING YOU'RE FIRST SONG WITH STAR IN FRONT
OF EVERYONE! DO NOT MESS UP!

Then t he thought occurred to me, I've never heard Star actually sing. Her voice could set me into space. I'm gonna have to practice not being distracted. But everything's good now, Kendall and I are okay, me and Star are best friends, nothing could go wrong. I threw away the note and relaxed.

Later we played some dome hockey. I didn't mind losing, I missed our guy time.

Sorry for the short chapter! Been having writer's block lately. Busy with school, PSAT's tomorrow. I'll make up for it in Chapter 7. It'll be longer with more events happening, so wait for it :D (Please leave reviews!)
