Chap. 2 One Little Glance
After 5 minutes of driving, Mrs. Knight parked the minivan in front of their shared vacation condo. They lived in the downstairs half. As the guys and Katie stretched and talked, they saw their condo buddies walking out of the house. They guys waved excitedly. They were the Sharon twins. Two California type blonde twins, about 17 years old: Sasha Sharon and Paris Sharon. They lived by themselves with their housekeeper Mafalda, because their dad lived in a nearby house where he spent most of his time working with clients and bringing home new girlfriends. The twins were nice, gorgeous, and not rich and spoiled, but they still weren't interested in the guys. They were examples of the year rounders that were like family to them, and relationships would not work. They were just one of their many friends. As the girls left, they all began unloading the minivan. Duffel bags, suit cases, garbage bags, and coolers were unloaded and sprawled around the parking lot. After a good 30 minutes of struggle and decoration related arguments, they had the condo all set up with their stuff. Mama Knight and Katie shared the basic bedroom, which was connected to the guest room, and the 3 guys shared the King bedroom. They were all hopping around on the beds, hurling pillows at each other, when Logan had an idea. "Hey, you guys wanna go to the boardwalk? We'll probably see all our friends hanging out there." Logan suggested. The guys exchanged glances. Kendall grinned. "Race you to the front door!" he shouted, making a run for it. They bolted to the door. Kendall won and James and Logan had a dead tie. James panted and called to Mrs. Knight. "Mama Knight, we're going to the boardwalk! Katie, wanna come along?" James called down the hallway. Katie poked her head out the door. "Nah, I think I'll call Shelly." Katie said. They shrugged and jogged out the front door.
They could see the boardwalk up ahead, a bright dock beside the beach filled with people, amusement park rides, and carnival tents. James slipped on his sunglasses and grinned. "We're home, Rock Shell. We better get a warm welcome." Kendall and Logan rolled their eyes at James' cheesy line and started walking to the entrance. "I hope Jenny took our advice and visited this year…and I wonder if Nigel is still here…" Logan murmured, out of breath. Kendall looked at him. "Fish Nigel? or the Nigel that likes to steal people's bags?" Kendall asked curiously. James and Logan answered at the same time. "Fish Nigel." They walked up the boardwalk steps and beamed at all the familiar faces smiling back at them. They saw the Sharon Twins, and Garret and his wife, the senior club, Jack and Flynn, Jenny, Fish Nigel AND Thief Nigel, Sally Wright and the posse, the Mack family, Baron, Josh, Finn, Cassie, and the Jarp couple and their hot daughter, Selena. Rock Shell had given them a warm welcome. As the guys waded through the sea of people, stopping to talk to a few, they couldn't seem to find a face they didn't recognize. Of course Garret's wife they didn't recognize because of her plastic surgery, but otherwise, none. Kendall turned and pointed to the biggest roller coaster: the Jewel. "Look! No line!" Kendall exclaimed, tugging at their sleeves like a little 5 year old. "Let's go, come on!" But Logan and James were still chatting with their old friends. Kendall sighed and looked for someone he could talk to. Then, something strange happened. He saw an unfamiliar face.
Kendall tapped on James' shoulder. "Who…is THAT?" Kendall pointed, not caring if it was rude. Without knowing it, James' jaw dropped. Where Kendall was pointing, talking to Cassie and the Sharon twins, was the most adorable, flawless guy he had ever seen. He looked about 16, he had a deep Hispanic tan, short and slightly spiky jet black hair, and deep brown eyes that looked liked those of a puppy. And even better, he was short. Logan stood beside the two and looked where they were staring. "Whoa…never seen HIM before. Visitor, I assume…" Logan said with a wide eyed expression. James found his voice again. "Th-that guy is amazingly HOT." James stated, not caring who heard, because they knew James could have a thing for guys sometimes. "I call dibs!" James shouted, whirling around to see Kendall's reaction. Kendall shrugged and slipped on his sunglasses. "He's cute, but not my type. I'm not really in to Mexicans…" Kendall said lifting his sunglasses and squinting at the boy. Logan snorted. "By that you mean your mom isn't into Mexicans…she'd kill you if you hooked up with one." Logan remarked, ceasing his staring. "And, you know, I've never really had a thing for guys. I prefer just girls, unlike SOME PEOPLE…" Logan gave the other two accusing looks. James and Kendall shrugged and went back to talking about the new guy. Kendall patted James on the back. "You should totally talk to him James. He'll be yours before the sun sets." Kendall said, winking at him. James shrugged him off. "Not now! We just saw him. I want to get the dirt on him before I charm him." James replied, planning to stare at the adorable guy again. "I just wanna look at him more-God, he's so gorgeous-" Logan cut him off. "Dude, stop staring at him, it's creepy. And rude. Don't scare him off before you get the chance to seduce him." Logan told him, with a hint of mockery and tease. James gave Logan a look and continued to look through the crowd. "Just one little glance." James muttered, looking around frantically. Kendall held his hands up surrendering. "Okay, fine. If James wants to be a total creeper, it's his call." Kendall chuckled, turning around to talk to Jenny. James happily whirled around so he could get a look at the new guy, but he wasn't there.
Note: Jenny is the Jenny from Big Time Fans by the way. I hope you like this, because I'm proud of it!
