(Tues. 8:53 a.m.)
I just wanted 2 ask u a question.
(Tues. 8:57 a.m.)
What about?
(Tues. 8:59 a.m.)
Wut did u mean when u said u were happy 4 me?
(Tues. 9:02 a.m.)
When did I say that?
(Tues. 9:04 a.m.)
Like
(Tues. 9:05 a.m.)
A month or 2 ago I think.
(Tues. 9:06 a.m.)
I ditched you when we were supposed 2 go on a date
(Tues. 9:10 a.m.)
Oh. Right. I remember.
(Tues. 9:12 a.m.)
Yeah.
(Tues. 9:13 a.m.)
Now.
(Tues. 9:14 a.m.)
Spill
(Tues. 9:15 a.m.)
Oh
(Tues. 9:16 a.m.)
n sorry
(Tues. 9:17 a.m.)
I really wanted 2 go on dat date
(Tues. 9:18 a.m.)
Something came up though
(Tues. 9:19 a.m.)
We can still go on 1 though
(Tues. 9:20 a.m.)
;)
(Tues. 9:25 a.m.)
I think that winky face and second date would mess up with what I'm about to tell you.
(Tues. 9:27 a.m.)
Wut?
(Tues. 9:28 a.m.)
R u pregnant?
(Tues. 9:29 a.m.)
I'M NOT DA FATHER
(Tues. 9:32 a.m.)
Jeez. You text like you're an entirely different person. No, I'm not pregnant.
(Tues. 9:34 a.m.)
Oh
(Tues. 9:35 a.m.)
Wut is it?
(Tues. 9:37 a.m.)
Jo told me why you ditched me.
(Tues. 9:39 a.m.)
Which was?
(Tues. 9:43 a.m.)
You ditched me to talk to Logan all night and keep him company over the phone.
(Tues. 9:45 a.m.)
Wut
(Tues. 9:46 a.m.)
Ha stop joking
(Tues. 9:47 a.m.)
Dat didn't happen
(Tues. 9:48 a.m.)
Um
(Tues. 9:49 a.m.)
Katie broke her arm!
(Tues. 9:50 a.m.)
Yeah!
(Tues. 9:51 a.m.)
She fell and boop
(Tues. 9:52 a.m.)
Broke her arm
(Tues. 9:55 a.m.)
Just like how my dad fell and booped, breaking his arm the night of our date?
(Tues. 9:57 a.m.)
Wut?
(Tues. 9:58 a.m.)
Who told you dat?
(Tues. 9:59 a.m.)
Dats crazy talk
(Tues. 10:02 a.m.)
Kendall, I talk to Logan too. Not as much as you but we are friends.
(Tues. 10:05 a.m.)
Oh
(Tues. 10:08 a.m.)
Don't worry. I didn't tell him that you lied. Once I understood what was happening I played along.
(Tues. 10:10 a.m.)
Oh
(Tues. 10:11 a.m.)
Thanks…
(Tues. 10:14 a.m.)
Not a problem.
(Tues. 10:16 a.m.)
But
(Tues. 10:17 a.m.)
What does dat hav 2 do wif anythin wif u tellin me dat yr happy I met someone?
(Tues. 10:20 a.m.)
Are you this dense Kendall? Or just crazy deep in denial?
(Tues. 10:21 a.m.)
?
(Tues. 10:23 a.m.)
You like Logan.
(Tues. 10:25 a.m.)
Course I do.
(Tues. 10:26 a.m.)
He's an awesome person n friend.
(Tues. 10:27 a.m.)
No. I mean more than as a friend. Someone you would like to date and kiss and cuddle with.
(Tues. 10:28 a.m.)
From what Jo's told me. You've got it bad.
(Tues. 10:30 a.m.)
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
(Tues. 10:31 a.m.)
I LIKE LOGAN AS A FRIEND.
(Tues. 10:32 a.m.)
THAT'S IT.
(Tues. 10:35 a.m.)
Now you're lying. You can't be this much of an idiot. I'm only saying this because it's obvious and I know you would freak out more if Jo or Carlos told you.
(Tues. 10:37 a.m.)
YOU'RE LYING.
(Tues. 10:40 a.m.)
I'm not. Come on. Think about it. Have you ever been this close to a friend before that you didn't want to date?
(Tues. 10:42 a.m.)
Carlos.
(Tues. 10:44 a.m.)
Carlos doesn't count. He's like your brother.
(Tues. 10:45 a.m.)
What's the first thing you think about when you think about Logan?
(Tues. 10:47 a.m.)
His stupid dimples.
(Tues. 10:50 a.m.)
You've never met him. How do you know about his dimples?
(Tues. 10:52 a.m.)
FACEBOOK.
(Tues. 10:54 a.m.)
Ok. What normal 'straight' guy thinks about their friends dimples? Have you ever thought about Carlos' smile?
(Tues. 10:57 a.m.)
No. Why would I?
(Tues. 10:58 a.m.)
Carlos is Carlos.
(Tues. 10:59 a.m.)
He's not Logan.
(Tues. 11:02 a.m.)
Exactly my point.
(Tues. 11:04 a.m.)
Look I have to go. If you don't believe me then ask Carlos or Jo. They'll tell you the same thing.
(Tues. 11:06 a.m.)
Fine.
(Tues. 11:07 a.m.)
Bye liar.
(Tues. 11:09 a.m.)
Not a liar.
(Tues. 11:11 a.m.)
Yes u r.
(Tues. 11:14 a.m.)
At least I'm not head over heels for Logan.
(Tues. 11:16 a.m.)
HEY!
(Tues. 11:17 a.m.)
DON'T IGNORE ME.
…
(Tues. 11:27 a.m.)
FINE.
(Tues. 3:52 p.m.)
U
(Tues. 3:53 p.m.)
ME
(Tues. 3:54 p.m.)
WE TALKIN
(Tues. 3:55 p.m.)
L8R THOUGH
(Tues. 3:56 p.m.)
I WORK 2NITE
(Tues. 3:57 p.m.)
U N TROUBLE THOUGH
(Tues. 4:00 p.m.)
What'd I do?
(Tues. 4:01 p.m.)
U KNOW WUT U DID
(Tues. 4:04 p.m.)
No I don't!
(Tues. 4:06 p.m.)
L8R!
(Tues. 4:10 p.m.)
James!
(Tues. 4:11 p.m.)
James!
(Tues. 4:12 p.m.)
JAMES!
(Tues. 4:15 p.m.)
What? Logan's trying to reteach me this algebra stuff.
(Tues. 4:16 p.m.)
I think he knows!
(Tues. 4:18 p.m.)
Who knows what?
(Tues. 4:20 p.m.)
I think Kendall knows about Team Kogan!
(Tues. 4:22 p.m.)
Oh. I don't think that's it.
(Tues. 4:24 p.m.)
What else would it be?
(Tues. 4:25 p.m.)
He texted me all angry like U ME WERE GONNA TALK
(Tues. 4:26 p.m.)
He knows!
(Tues. 4:29 p.m.)
Did he ever tell you what was bugging him yesterday?
(Tues. 4:31 p.m.)
No I think he forgot.
(Tues. 4:35 p.m.)
I know. We talked yesterday. He started rambling about liking people and stuff. I think he's finally realizing that he likes Logan.
(Tues. 4:37 p.m.)
How'd he just figure it out now?
(Tues. 4:39 p.m.)
Jett pushing Logan? Logan told me he was acting crazy when he told him about it.
(Tues. 4:40 p.m.)
Then he started getting angry at me for not standing up for Logan.
(Tues. 4:41 p.m.)
He probably noticed that overreacting like that for a friend isn't normal.
(Tues. 4:43 p.m.)
That makes sense!
(Tues. 4:44 p.m.)
Then what about Team Kogan?
(Tues. 4:46 p.m.)
Team Kogan is still a go. We just now have a better chance at making the two fall for each other better.
(Tues. 4:49 p.m.)
Before we had to make Kendall realize that he liked guys and that he liked Logan. Now we just have to push him to actually be with Logan. A lot less work.
(Tues. 4:51 p.m.)
Yes! I don't like work.
(Tues. 4:54 p.m.)
I know you don't. Listen, I gotta go. Logan's getting suspicious of me.
(Tues. 4:57 p.m.)
Gotcha. Team Kogan!
(Tues. 5:15 p.m.)
Were you texting James?
(Tues. 5:16 p.m.)
Wut?
(Tues. 5:17 p.m.)
No.
(Tues. 5:18 p.m.)
I'm on ma break and eating a nutella sandwich.
(Tues. 5:20 p.m.)
Oh, sorry. I'll let you get back to that sandwich. It was just a little weird because James kept texting someone and wouldn't tell me who it was.
(Tues. 5:21 p.m.)
Nope.
(Tues. 5:22 p.m.)
Not me.
(Tues. 5:23 p.m.)
STEAL HIS PHONE.
(Tues. 5:24 p.m.)
I HAV 2 GO
(Tues. 5:25 p.m.)
BUT STEAL HIS PHONE.
(Tues. 5:27 p.m.)
I'm not going to steal his phone.
(Tues. 5:29 p.m.)
:(
(Incoming call.)
…
"…ugh…"
…
Click!
"M'ello?"
"Carlos!"
"Kendall? It's almost midnight. Why are you callin?"
"I just got home. We had to do inventory today. We need to talk."
"Heh. Talk? Talk about what?"
"How long have you known?"
"I don't know anything! James made me do it! Please done be angry with me!"
"James made you do what? I was talking about me liking Logan."
...
"Oh... right."
"What is James making you do?"
"Nothing! I was kidding! He's not making me do anything."
"I'm not buying it, but we need to talk about Logan first."
"What do you want me to say? It was obvious? It kinda was. I just didn't want you to freak out by making you admit it when you weren't ready."
"I don't even know if I am ready! I still can't put my head around it completely."
"What's so hard to understand?"
"I've never liked a guy before! I've never taken a second look at a guy before Logan! Does that really mean I'm gay?"
"I don't know. Isn't there more than just gay and straight now? Maybe you're one of those other sexualities? Like that pan thing."
"That pan thing?"
"Yeah! Pansexual I think. You like a person because of their personality not there body parts."
"I don't know. Maybe?"
"Does Logan know?"
"No! And he's not going to!"
"What? Why not?"
"Cause I still don't understand what I'm feeling."
"I'd bet he's be happy to help you."
"No. I'm not going to jeopardize our friendship for feelings I may or may not have. Just, please Carlos, keep it a secret."
"Uh, fine! But you owe me."
"How about a dozen corn dogs?"
...
"Deal."
I"m gonna post on Tumblr, just give me an hour. I have school stuff I need to do. But other than that. Did y'all like it? Kogan is still getting there, and sorry for the lack of Kogan in the chapter. Right now it's more about Kendall figuring things out then shameless flirting. OH! And Lucy! Yay Lucy!
