"I guess I should finally introduce myself, huh?" He laughed and nodded. I stuck my hand out. "I'm Mira."

"I'm Kendall." Wow he has a great smile! This time, I laughed. Of course I knew who he was.

Grace walked up to us and grabbed my arm. "Oh trust me, she is VERY aware of that." Kendall smirked at me and I blushed. Ok, so I have a crush on him! I threw a look at Grace and she smiled back at me.

"So...I guess I'll see you around them? I mean, you are moving in right?" I nodded at him and he smiled. Grace then pulled me along and I'm glad she did, because I don't know if I could have walked after that.

The girls immediately hit me with questions when the elevator door closed.

And then I guess realization hit Sarah because she screamed "WAIT HE REMEMBERED YOU FROM THE AIRPORT!"

"OHMYGOSH YEAH!"

"Why are you all screaming?" Callie questioned. "I mean, it's not like he's Ed." We all rolled our eyes. Yeah, she may be obsessed.

"Well, duh Callie, Kendall equals Ed for Mira." I nodded vigorously.

"But guys," I spoke quietly, "I don't think anything's going to happen..."

Grace dismissed me with a wave of her hand. "Did you SEE how he looked at you?" I laughed. "So it wasn't just wishful thinking?" They all shook their heads no.

Well then. I guess LA will be a lot more interesting than we thought.

NEXT MORNING

JAMES' POV

"Ugh, James do we really have to? I mean it's so early!" Logan grumbled.

"Bro, it's like 11 o'clock" I snickered.

Logan narrowed his eyes at me. "You know how important my sleep is to me."

"C'mon guys, please? This is my girlfriend's little sister. I promise it won't take long." Ok truth is, I had no idea. But I was NOT getting stuck in an apartment with Sonia's sister and her three friends by myself. So I decided to drag the guys along. Carlos muttered something, and I decided to interpret it as a yes. "Alright let's go!"

I could hear Kendall asking Logan behind me, "What's got him all cheery?"

Logan snickered and responded, "Well, either Sonia's going to be there, or Cuda released a new product."

I snapped around. "Screw you, Logan, you know I stopped with that." He laughed and punched my shoulder. I shoved him back and Kendall immediately moved in between to prevent anything more. I laughed; Kendall is the baby and yet he still keeps us in check. We finally reached 3D and I knocked on the door.

MIRA'S POV

I heard a knock on the door and let out a breath. It's just the guys. James and his friends. Stop thinking about Kendall.

I opened the door and greeted James with a hug. Kendall gave me a funny look.

"James, I think it's time we explain to the guys-"

"Sonia!" James went to my sister and gave her a hug and a kiss. "Good morning, Babe." I think she may have growled. She HATES pet names. "Umm...good morning...beautiful?" She smiled and returned his hug.

"Yeah, you need coffee." I laughed at her. "Who else wants?" The girls raised their hands and the guys eventually did too. I saw Logan reach over and push Carlos' hand down. I guess I made a face because he told me "A caffeinated Carlos is not a good Carlos to be around". I threw my head back and laughed and headed to the kitchen to make the coffee. Oh yeah, Sonia and I unpacked some of the kitchen this morning. I was proud of our work, if I may say so myself.

I came out with the coffees on a tray, and a decaf for Carlos. Logan mouthed a "thank you" to me and I smiled.

"So...wanna tell us what's with all the hugging?" Kendall started out.

I looked over at James who was smiling with his arm around my sister. I gestured for him to explain.

"Well, you see, I'm actually dating both of the Mitchell sisters-" I picked a magazine up off the table and chucked it at The Face.

"Oh wow, I'm sorry James I can't believe that magazine just flew off the table and at your face!" I put on an angelic smile. My sister smirked at me, and the girls laughed. They were used to my ways by now.

"What REALLY happened is I met James last year when he and Sonia came home for spring break for a week. So we've become close. And I can't date-" I gestured to his face "-that." His mouth fell open and I stuck my tongue out at him. The guys laughed and Kendall relaxed a bit. "So on that happy note; shall we start unpacking?"

*2 HOURS LATER* (SPONGEBOB GUY'S VOICE)

"We did it! We did it! LA, Chordstruck has OFFICIALLY ARRIVED!" Sarah was bouncing around all giddy. She was the most excited about the move. I smiled and hugged her. She just makes everything so much fun.

"So guys," I started, "shall we celebrate with lunch? My treat." The guys' eyes lit up at this so I grabbed my wallet, phone, and keys and we headed out. The BTR boys suggested we try a diner downtown so our whole gang headed there. We chatted over lunch, mostly about music and acting. My sister was making a break in the acting world, so we celebrated that, plus our arrival, and the overall success of Big Time Rush, who are currently working on their third album.

We really enjoyed each other's company, so I suggested we all gather at our new apartment tonight for a game of Truth or Dare. According to Carlos, that's the best way to break in a new place. Logan and Carlos asked to bring their girlfriends; I said of course. What? I wanna meet them!

I looked over at Kendall and slyly asked, "So, who's on your arm, huh?"

He responded casually, "No one...yet". OHMYGOD. OHMYGOD HE WINKED! I blushed and turned away. James took my sister's arm and said they would have to pass. Sonia raised an eyebrow at him.

"I thought we'd go see Argo?" he questioned.

"Yes yes yes!" I know for a fact she's been wanting to see that movie for ages. I waggled my eyebrows at her and she stuck her tongue out at me. We walked home together, one giant group down the sidewalk. We reached the Palm Woods and walked inside. Jo gave me a dirty look when she saw me laugh at something Kendall said; I thought we were friends? Whatever. I guess you have to watch your back in LA.

Logan, Carlos, and Kendall walked us to our apartment, and Sonia and James left to go get ready. When we reached the door, Grace slipped inside and pulled the two others in, waving to the guys to give me and Kendall some time. Real subtle, Grace. Real subtle.

We talked and laughed for a bit, and then he said he should go upstairs to get ready. I nodded that I understood; I had to do the same. So he reached down and gave me a hug and I melted into his arms. He called "See you tonight, Mira!" over his shoulder.

Yeah, tonight's gonna be one hell of a night.
