Kendall's POV

"You're a lucky man, I wish I could come with," Logan says as he watches me lug my bags in the back of the taxi waiting outside my house.

I smile at this remark because I know that I'm a lucky kid, just not for the same reason that they think.

I close the trunk and look at them with a smirk on my face, "You know I would bring you guys too if I could." I honestly would.

"Yeah, I want to see all the California hotties with you," Carlos whines.
I force a nervous laugh a Carlos's comment, they still don't know I'm gay, but I don't know when the right time to tell them would be, definitely not now.

I say bye and give them both a hug. "See you guys in a few weeks." I get into the taxi next to Katie and close the door. I wave goodbye to my friends as we drive away and I smile as I think about my future vacation.

We touch down at the airport and I look out the window of the plane. I'm mesmerized by the beauty; it's completely different than cold Minnesota. We leave the airport to drive to our hotel and I'm so relieved to finally stretch my legs after the three hour flight.

The hotel the taxi arrives at is on the edge of a gorgeous white sand beach, and a popular one at that. There are hundreds of teens surfing and tanning; I know where I'll be spending most of my time this vacation, on my butt in one of those comfortable looking beach chairs.

We open the door to our fourth floor rooms that are connected by a doorway. My mom and Katie share a room while I get one all to myself, I cannot thank my mom enough for that.

My room has a coral theme, which is understandable since the view is right on the ocean, I can see everything far and wide from my room.

I want to get out and experience the warm Los Angeles weather for the first time, even though that's only half the reason I came here for.

I peek into mom's room for a second. "Mom, is that ok if I check out the beach for the afternoon?" I plead.

"Ok, honey, be careful and wear sunscreen," my mom says barely looking up from unpacking her suitcase. I'm actually surprised that she didn't need to be convinced, I had a speech ready and everything.

"Thanks, mom," I say and kiss her on the cheek.

She smiles, "Just be back here at 7:00 for dinner."

"Ok," I say as I walk into my room to change, dressing in my red swimsuit shorts and black sandals. I put on my sunglasses and exit the room, ready to soak up the sun.

I walk down the beach, taking in the hot sun and gorgeous landscape. I wish I could stay here forever and bask in this beauty. I find an empty beach chair and sit down, facing the ocean.

I close my eyes and I'm about to fall into a nap when I hear someone clear their throat next to me. I open my eyes and turn my head. Next to me are two girls: tall, blonde, and look about my age.

"Hey," the one in the pink bikini says, "I'm Grace and that's Kayla," she explains as she gestures towards the shorter girl in a black swimsuit with white polka dots.

"Um, I'm Kendall," I say awkwardly, I think I know where this is headed and I don't want to go there.

Kayla then smiles, "So we saw you from down the beach and we knew we just had to talk to you and ask if you'd like to get some ice cream with us?"

Great, what do I say to this? I think for a moment, "Look I'm not really looking for a girl right now, sorry," well, it's not a total lie. I feel bad but that's about as much I could say without telling them straight up that I'm gay.

"Oh," they remark, "okay, well cya." The girls turn and strut away disappointed and don't look back.

I let out a big breath and I realize I've been holding it for the entire conversation. I shake my head and begin walking in the opposite direction towards my beach chair to relax again when a pain hits the back of my head and I fall into the warm sand on my back, enveloped in darkness on the bright sunny day.

In the darkness I hear a soothing and concerned voice echoing above me, "Dude, are you alright?"

I open my eyes slowly, squinting in the setting sun, my head throbbing. My eyes are parallel to the ground and I slowly raise my head to see whose trying to help me. I look past the baby blue board shorts, perfectly tanned washboard abs, and straight into the concerned, glowing, hazel eyes of my idol, peeking over the edge of his sunglasses.

Oh Kendall's a lucky boy ;) haha well please review, it'll really mean a lot to me :)
