Chapter 13: Corrections

James frantically tapped his foot as he waited for the elevator to drop to the Lobby Level.

After what seemed like hours, the elevator finally replied to James's worry with a "beep-beep" and the slow drone of the metal doors as they opened.

Gahhh! Alex, why are you the ONE girl who didnt give me her phone number? James thoughts were racing as he unsuccessfully searched the lobby for a certain green eyed girl, Pool, maybe shes at the pool.

James's eyes darted from pool chair to pool chair to pool chair until finally settling on a girl in the corner who was reading a book. Her face was hidden by the large dark waves of her hair but James approached her anyway.

"Alex?" James's nervous voice made the outburst seem more like a question.

The girl's gaze darted upwards and James was relieved when two green eyes met his own.

"Oh, hey james" She smiled but James immediately noted how fake it looked in comparison with her cold eyes.

"Dick-" James was still panting from the frantic run he had made to the pool deck, "ens. Youre reading Dickens."

"Umm. Yah, thanks for the notice," Alex looked confusingly at the panting boy in front of her, "Are you ok James?"

James was just beginning to catch his breath when he repeated himself, "Dickens, you read Dickens." Looking towards the girl, he realized that she STILL wasnt catching on. "You read Dickens, and are taking AP Calculots and yo-"

"Calcu-LUS" Alex corrected, "im taking AP Calculus,"

"And that" James snickered "You correct me when I un-pronounce things"

"MIS-pronounce" Alex blurted out.

"SEE!" James flailed his arms wildly at the confused girl, "Youre just like him!"

"James, I honestly have no idea what youre talking about?"

"L. O. G. A. N." James spelled out the name theatrically as if the girl in front of him were a 5 year old learning a new word.

Alex eyes widened as the name registered in her mind. "What about him?"

James noted how just the mere reference to Logan mitchell warmed her previous demeanor.

"THAT. Youre blushing again!" James pointed at the girl causing her to blush even more, "I know you like him"

James's words seemed to usher hope into Alex but as quickly as it appeared it was gone- replaced by the coldness from before.

"No, James, sorry I dont," She spoke with an eerie sense of confidence, "I just dont need the drama or the distractions right now"

"Wow" James's eyes widened as he stared at the girl.

"What?" some of the confidence from before had begun to deteriorate.

"You really are JUST like him." James shook his head out of frustration, "he never admits his feelings either."

She looked down at her feet sheepishly, silently asking James to continue.

"Alex, I may not now about Calculots bu-"

"Calculus" Alex's correction was met with James rolling his eyes, "Ok sorry, continue"

"Like I was saying, trust me I know about this stuff. I know 'girls'. And I know you like Logan"

"Sorry James," all of the confidence had drained from her voice now, "but I have one more correction." her voice was barely above a whisper, "I LIKED Logan. As in past tense. I really thought he was more than just the average hollywood singer, no offense" she smiled apologetically at the boy in front of her,

"and everything was perfect, then me and Logan we almost kis- well nevermind but," she continued and her voice grew louder, "hes not. Hes just another attention- junkie who uses people and starts drama. Hes just a pointless distraction"

Neber Eber, she silently reminded herself yet again.

"No, Alex, hes soo not like that," James offered her a reassuring smile, "not that theres anything wrong with those kind of people" His joke made Alex laugh weakly. "Logan likes you, I know it"

"Wrong again," Alex's weak laugh returned but this time it was shrill and painful, "he wouldnt even look at me today"

"Thats what I came to talk to you about, Alex!" James's arms were flailing once again, "He likes you, but I think he saw you and I in the pool yesterday. Hes a good friend and he thought there was something between us."

He saw 'us'? He saw that stupid joke in the pool? Alex's mind was racing to interpret the new information, Well, I guess that makes sense. He liked me but was afraid that if he acted upon it then he would be hurting James.

"Wow," Alex finally spoke, "he really is an all around great guy". Guilt washed over her entire face.

"Tell me about it" that same wave drowned James's face as well as he sat down next to Alex.

The guilty-looking pair of teens sat there for a couple of minutes, both were silently reviewing the details of the past two days. How had they ended up here?

Suddenly their Logan-centric thoughts were interrupted by the "Beep- Beep" of James's cellphone. Kendall swiftly ulled the device out of his pocket only to be welcomed by a text message from Kendall.

JAMES! Log just came bck. Still not talking to us-
thought u were handling this?

-Kendall

"Alex, like i was saying before." james spoke confidently as he returned the phone to his pocket, "You read Dickens! and you do math that hurts to even look at! and you correct me when i pronounce words wrong!"

"I know" Alex nodded her head and spoke barely above a whisper.

"I mean you dont want to be distracted, and he doesnt want to be distracted and Logan hates snobby actresses, and you hate anything thats boy-band related."

"i know" she was even quieter this time.

"and even with ALL that crap, you and Logan are STILL kinda perfect together."

"i know" he barely heard her voice.

"You should go talk to him, explain what happened"

i know. This time James didnt need Alex to say anything. He could see Alex agreeing through the look of determination she had as she quickly made her way back into the Palmwoods.

His eyes fell as the girl disappeared behind the glass doors of the lobby, he quickly pulled out his phone to reply to Kendall.

Ken,

Alex + Logan!
ill explain later, come down to the pool. NOW.

Bring Carlos, LEAVE LOGAN

-James

James felt a sense of comfort and pride sweep over him as he thought of what he had just done. Gahh, for being smart, theyre both pretty dumb. As soon as that thought registered in his mind, however, worry drowned out the comfort. Oh Logie, dont mess this one up.

So yah, I hope you guys didnt think this was OOC for James, because i really dont. The show really suggests that the four guys would do anything for each other. I was watching Big Time Break- Up (which i didnt like ahhaa) and when James offered to make it a Boys day and not hang out with the girl he 'loved' i was like awww. and yah, that inspired this. and plus he helped Logan ask Camille out, remember!

As for Big time break up, let me explain: The promos said everyone is breaking up/ making up. and as usual that didnt include LOGAN :( same thing with BT Prom kings- everyone had a date but him. and plus Camille wasnt even in this episode. I crave Logan-love-life attention for the show. ahahahahha... seriously xD

as for this story, next chapter Alex will confront Logie :) hehe i think its funny how many times ive been able to name drop Charles Dickens in this story xD ill try and stop, i promise. and to my dear reviewers, another thank you, please keep them coming!

Oh and dear froggieluver2280, gahhh i want to hug him too! then slap him for being soo STUBBORN. then hug him again :) and yes i pinky promise that a happy ending is on the horizon :)
