I'm just about to delete my whole account, because people are being difficult, all because someone who was not me did something wrong and uncalled for. If you don't want me to delete my stories and my account, let me know. It would make me happy. Thanks!

James had tried to forget the movies, and he and Carlos just moved on. They didn't talk about it again, even though nothing too terribly awkward had actually happened. Before either of them knew it, it was springtime.

Kendall had been miserable as of lately. He was starting to see just how much he was being used by Dylan and the other guys in the popular crowd. He should have stopped the deal and just become actual friends with Carlos and the other guys. If he left Dylan's side now, he would be completely alone, unless the guys would accept a huge apology.

The last day before Easter break, Kendall approached the table where the guys sat. Carlos looked up at me. "What the hell do you want?"

"I want to apologize, for everything," started Kendall. "It was really wrong of me to do what I did, and I'm really, truly sorry for all of it. I realize now that you guys could turn into my true friends. Dylan's never really been my friend. He's always kind of just been a bully that somehow manipulated me into doing whatever he wanted me to do."

Carlos looked from Logan to James and back again. James shrugged, and Logan nodded. Carlos stood up and held out his hand. "Welcome back to the table, Kendall."

Kendall smiled and shook Carlos's hand. "Thanks, guys. This really means a lot to me. I'll never screw up our friendship ever again."

"To be honest, I've really missed you being around, even after what you did," admitted Logan.

"I think all of us missed you," stated Carlos.

James shrugged. "Maybe just a little bit."

Kendall's smile grew. He sat down at the table. James narrowed his eyebrows. "Where's your food?"

"I just wasn't hungry," said Kendall.

James moved his tray in front of Kendall. "You're sharing my lunch with me. I don't need all of this crap anyways. I've kind of forgotten about watching what I eat lately."

"Thanks," smiled Kendall. He picked up James's breadstick and took a bite of it. James picked up his fork and started poking at his pasta. Everyone was really silent for whatever reason. They just ate and looked around. It was a little bit awkward. Logan laughed. "There's been a lot of awkward going on lately, hasn't there?"

Carlos's face instantly turned red. He glanced at James. James's own face turned a little pink. They looked away from each other. Carlos looked up as Candace appeared at the table. She beamed. "So, I decided to just come right out and say this. It's taken me a few months to even get enough courage, but would you like to go see a movie with me tonight?"

Carlos glanced at James again. "Sure. Okay. What time?"

"Um, four," said Candace. Her smile seemed to grow, though it seemed impossible. "And then, if you want, we can get some dinner or something after?"

"Sounds good," said Carlos. "I'm guessing we're just walking there after school?"

Candace nodded a little bit. "Okay. Bye! See you after school!"

Candace turned and walked away quickly. Carlos smiled and sighed. James swallowed. He quickly replaced his disbelieving face with a big smile. "So you have a date! That's great."

"Yeah. It is great," said Carlos. He gave James a look he really didn't mean to give him. It was a look that said, "Whatever you thought about me before, you were very wrong."

James bit his lip, nodded his head, grabbed his tray, and walked away from the table. Kendall looked at Logan. "I'm extremely confused."

Logan just shrugged.

Carlos met Candace in front of the school right after the last bell rang. She began talking about some pair of shoes she really wanted. Carlos could think of nothing but how badly he felt for looking at James like that. It was really uncalled for. It seemed that nothing would ever be normal between James and Carlos. Carlos had royally messed that up, and there was no clear way to fix it.

Finally, Carlos and Candace reached the movie theater. They bought their tickets and sat down in the correct auditorium. As soon as the movie started, Carlos felt something hit him in the back of the head. He turned around to see Dylan Slate sitting three rows behind himself and Candace. Carlos decided to just ignore him. It was easier than causing a scene in public.

Multiple pieces of popcorn hit Carlos in the back of the head. He sighed loudly. Candace put a hand on his arm. "You okay?"

"Yeah, it's just, Dylan Slate is back there throwing popcorn at the back of my head," answered Carlos.

Candace turned around to look at Dylan Slate. "Hey, Gorilla! How about you put the popcorn in your mouth instead of throwing it at people like an immature loser!"

Carlos started laughing. Candace turned back around, a huge smile on her face. "You should see the look on his face."

Carlos and Candace laughed for about ten minutes straight. Carlos put his hand on top of Candace's. "You're great."

"Thanks. You're pretty great yourself," said Carlos. He didn't feel any popcorn hit him in the back of the head for the rest of the movie.

When the movie was over, Carlos and Candace walked out to the front sidewalk. Carlos looked up and down the road. "Where do you want to eat?"

"Doesn't matter to me."

They ended up going to a little diner on the corner. They both ordered the Megaburger, a huge burger with everything a burger could have on it. The burgers took about an hour to eat. After eating them, Carlos and Candace ordered two ice cream cones and then exited the diner.

"So, how are James and your other friends?" asked Candace.

Carlos's face turned red yet again. He'd forgotten about James over the course of his date. He didn't want to think about him now, but he couldn't help it. Hearing James's name instantly triggered the feelings and the guilt. Carlos cleared his throat. "Good. They're, um, good."

Candace nodded. "That's good."

"Yeah."
