A/N: Oh… My… Gosh… I get the sweetest reviews from all of you! Like seriously, you are all so sweet for reading this story, favorite-ing (Is that a word? Ehh) this story, recommending it, and more. I'm so thankful for all of you. That's appropriate, considering it was Thanksgiving yesterday. =)
Kendall tried to mask the smile on his face as Camille and Logan pulled away from their embrace. Neither of them could talk to the sandy haired boy, which only amused him more.
"What's going on?" Jo suddenly appeared behind him.
"Guess whose suspicions were correct?" he looked at her.
Jo looked confused as she looked back and forth between Kendal and the pair. Suddenly, a smile erupted from her face.
"I knew it!" she echoed.
Logan tried to reason, "It's not what it looks like –"
"It's exactly what it looks like, buddy!" Kendall cut him off.
"How long has this been happening?" Jo started to question.
"A few months…" Camille hesitated.
"When you went to Logan's place during the summer, huh?" Jo guessed.
The blonde got her answer when neither of them said a word.
"Are you mad?" Camille sounded scared.
Jo shook her head, "Not at all. I always had my suspicions and I was right – Logan was always yours."
Logan started to stutter, "Well, I w-wouldn't say t-that…"
Kendall looked at them funny, "Then what do you mean?"
Camille slowly answered, "We're just… having fun?"
"Like a friends with benefits?" Jo practically yelled.
Logan flinched, "If you really want to label it."
Kendall continued to look at them funny, "Why can't you two just be normal and date? Friends with benefits sounds more complicated."
"Not really," Logan retaliated, "We both miss the physical contact of a relationship, but not the emotional baggage that comes along with it. We're not looking for anything serious because it's our senior year. We also like each other's company and are attracted to each other."
His best friend ignored him and pulled at his phone, "I've gotta tell James."
"Did everyone have their suspicions?" Camille cried out.
Jo nodded her head, "We almost started placing bets, but we held off on that."
Logan shook his head, "Thanks."
Shortly after, Jo, Kendall, Camille, and eventually Jett occupied the girls' room to work on their project. It started out smoothly enough until Jett started to argue anything Jo would suggest. The other two quickly came to her side, which caused Jett to quiet down instantly. Camille managed to escape the room for a quick minute to grab some snacks from the cafeteria. It looked fairly empty since it was the middle of the day and everyone was busy with their own agenda.
Jennifer V. walked up to her, "Hey Camille."
"Hi Jennifer," she smiled.
"Are you busy right now?"the taller girl tugged on her shirt sleeve.
Camille glanced around, "Slightly. Kendall and I are working on a group project."
"Oh ok," Jennifer took a step back, "I was hoping we could talk but school is more important – I've got a lot of catching up to do. If you have time, do you think we could catch up and talk?"
Camille could sense her nerves, "If it's really important, we can talk right now. I'm sure Kendall won't mind."
"No no, it's ok," she assured her classmate, "It's not important for now but um, as soon as you're free, call me?"
"Of course," Camille nodded her head.
Jennifer let out a sigh of relief, "Great. I'll see you around!"
As she left the cafeteria, the darker haired girl couldn't help but wonder what was so urgent that they needed to talk. Camille made a mental note to herself to give her a call after working with Kendall.
"So you two did hook up at Logan's!" James said out loud.
"And you didn't bother to tell us… Shame on you," Stephanie playfully scolded them.
News spread like wildfire between the group by evening time as Camille and Logan were currently being hounded and teased by their friends as they gathered in James and Carlos' room. They seemed to have taken the news well, considering no one was surprised by the pairing.
"Is friends with benefits really a good idea?" Jo carefully asked.
Logan nodded, "We talked about it for a few days before we decided to go along with it. If one of us wants to end it, the other person will respect it. We'll go back to just being friends."
"What happens if one of you actually wants more?" Jo asked curiously. She gave her best friend a look because she knew of Camille's past crush on Logan.
Logan looked over at Camille, the both of them tried to hide their blush, "I guess we'd have to talk to each other about it."
"Y-yeah," she cleared her throat. They avoided each other's eyes.
"Just don't start to blatantly make out in front of us," Kendall shook his head, "Carlos and Stephanie do enough of that."
"Hey!" Carlos fought back, "We're not as bad as before."
"Right," James said sarcastically, "Now you've gone back to flirting with each other, which is still just as bad."
There was a knock on the door that caught James' attention. They tried to control their laughter so they could see who was at the door. James opened it and was surprised to see Jennifer H. on the other side. She looked nervous when she realized the room was full.
"James," she hesitated, "Can I talk to you? Um, in private."
He was a bit taken aback, "Ok, I guess."
James closed the door behind him, leaving the rest of the gang in confusion and curiosity. They waited patiently for him to come back, which took about ten minutes. The door opened yet again, followed by a hyperventilating James.
"Are you ok, buddy?" Carlos asked.
All he could do was shake his head no.
"What did Jennifer have to say?" Kendall followed up.
James stared at them and opened his mouth to say the dreaded words.
"She's pregnant."
A/N: Bum bum bummm! James has got himself into another situation. Oh dear. As for Camille and Logan… They may be out in the open, but that doesn't mean it is smooth sailing for them. ;) Please review and let me know what you think. Thanks!
