I looked at the three in shock.
"Hey... guys," I waved nervously at Kendall, Carlos, and Logan with my hand that wasn't holding Nina's. Kendall waved back.
"Hey James! Over here!" Kendall shouted. I let go of Nina's hand, mouthed "sorry" to her, and jogged over to them.
"James, I came here to apologize to you. I'm sorry that I called you a girlfriend stealer and I take it all back."
"Apology accepted. Why did you bring them with you though?"
Kendall just sighed.
"Well, Carlos wanted to see what a British corndog tastes like and Logan came to see a quantum physisist in London. Plus, your hot girlfriend's waiting for you."
"Oh yeah. I'll catch up with you later. Come back at like 2:30."
"Bye," They all said in unison as I caught back with Nina and walked to school with her.
Kendall's POV
It was 2:26 and I was outside the Anubis house, patiently waiting for James so I could get directions from him on how to do things here. I was hiding behind the porch, looking at the assortments of flowers that someone had planted. They looked quite nice for a warm May day. I then saw James at the end of the driveway, holding the brunette's hand in one of his hands, and texting with the other.
"James! Over here!" I yelled as I waved my arms over to him. He saw me and waved back with the hand that had his phone in it. He still held on to the girl's hand. I waited for him to reach me.
"Kendall, Nina." He pointed to the brunette. I waved. "Nina, meet Kendall, my best friend." She waved at me.
"James, does she always smile like that?"
"Yeah. I pretty, huh?" James kissed her on the nose. "We're usually the first ones here, so you should stay in me and Fabian's room. Eddie moved into a spare room, so he's all by himself. Well, at least he got Patricia."
"Whaa..." I asked, confused out of my mind.
"Oh don't worry. You'll meet them at dinnertime."
"When is that?"
"Eh, 6:30-ish. It varies. The house cleaner, Trudy, is really nice. You'll like her. Also, watch out for Victor, the caretaker. He's strict and mean. If you see an angry-looking man with a beard, that's him. Avoid Victor before dinner time. Now, when we walk in, run upl and follow me into my room." James ordered me. Only I was staying. Logan was gonna take care of Carlos.
Suddenly, James made a dash into the door and into a room after letting go of Nina's hand before he rushed to his room. James closed the door.
"I don't think anyone saw us. Do you think anyone saw us?" James was more hyper that usual.
"James, I'm sure that nobody saw us."
James' POV
It was almost dinnertime, and Kendall has been playing on my laptop for 4 hours.
"Dinner's ready!" I heard Trudy shout. I called Kendall's name, and he closed the laptop's lid. As I was walking down the hall with Kendall, I saw a black and white woman. She had a gold headband on and tears of gold. I turned around to Kendall, petrified.
"Did you... see that too?"
"See what?" Was the response.
"Nothing,"
Kendall continued to walk down the hall to the kitchen.
"Kendall, hide and come out when I shout 'Here he is!'! Okay?" I asked. He thumbs-uped me and hid. When I walked in the kitchen, it was more bustling than ever. It looked like they all helped with dinner and they were putting the finishing thoughes on it.
When dinner was finally on the table and everyone was sitting down, Trudy told us to dig in. I spoke directly after she said that.
"Wait! I have someone to show you who will be staying with us. Here he is!" I waited a moment. "Here he is!" I was getting angry. I stormed into the main downstairs hallway to see Kendall. He was listening to his MP3. I turned it off.
"Kendall, get the heck out here!" I whisper-yelled. He sighed and walked in with me.
I held up his arm like a trainer hold the boxer that they trained after that trained boxer wins a match.
"Here he is!"
The entire house cheered when they saw Kendall.
"His name is Kendall and he could be staying for a while."
Amber whistled and winked at Kendall. Kendall winked back. I face-palmed after I saw this and sat down to eat dinner and to llet Kendall meet everyone.
After supper, I was surprised at how much Kendall knew everybody already.
I texted Nina to come to my room since Fabian was with Joy and Kendall was with Amber after dinner. She replied yes and I was waiting in my room for her to come in. Five minutes later, I heard someone knock on the door.
"Come in!" I exclaimed. A dark shadowy figure like the one that I saw earlier flashed in, then out. In, and out. In and out.
"AAAAGH!" I screamed as I hid under my bed. I couldn't get her face out of my head. Shelooked like the figure that I saw earlier, but her face looked like Nina's.
"The Chosen One! The Chosen One! The Chosen One! The Chosen One!" I heard children chanting and I saw the ghost Nina again.
"Do not play any tricks on me, James. I'm watching you." She disappeared again, and suddenly, I was enveloped in darkness. When I woke up, I was in California. With Kendall. And Carlos. And Logan.
It was all just a dream. A silly dream. Everything with Fabian, Nina, Amber, Alfie, Jerome, Mara... it was a dream. A thought out of my subconcious mind.
It was just a dream. I told myself over and over again, panting and sitting on my bed. Kendall walked in.
"James, what is wrong with you?" He held up a broken phone.
"Wait, what?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about James! You stole Jo from me and Camille from Logan!"
"Yea, I did and I'm really sorry. Like, a lot."
"Why aren't you... huh?"
"I said that I did and that I am really sorry."
"Well, okay then." Kendall looked perplexed and happy at the same time. Logan rushed in.
"Kendall, why are you smiling? In front of him?"
"Because he just taught a bunch of magic unicorns to destroy the Hubble telescope." James pointed to the ceiling. Logan looked up.
"Grr..."
Well, I think that rewritten ending was worlds better. I might make a sequel to this, believe it or not. Well, did you like the joke that James told Logan? Yeah, I did too. Well, please review telling me if I should. Or, you can PM me. I don't really care which. :)
