Monday at after school*
Cami wanna hang out? I've got an hour before rehearsal at Rocque Records "Logan says"
I can't. I've got to do a magazine cover for Pop Tiger to promote the new season of Witches Of Rowdale Drive "Camille says"
Ok well have fun "Logan says and leaves with the guys"
Later after rehearsal he does his homework, eats dinner and goes to bed*
Tuesday morning*
How was the cover shoot for Pop Tiger? "Logan says"
Fun "Camille says" Lots and lots of pictures were taken and did all kinds of fun poses and even got to pick our favorite pics to put in the magazine
Wow that's awesome. The guys and I never get to choose. Gustavo doesn't trust us. He thinks we'll fight "Logan says"
Will you? "Camille says"
Kendall and I will be fine. Carlos and James will definitely argue "Logan says"
Well then that's the problem. Just tell them to not fight "Camille says"
I've lost count of how many times I and only me have had to break them up from tearing each other apart. It's a miracle they're still alive "He says and walks in the classroom to sit at his desk"
After school they go to Palm Woods Park to play go fish*
This is so relaxing "Camille says"
It sure is until I walk into the circus called Apartment 2J "Logan says"
You're telling me you guys don't have any normal days? "Camille says laughing"
Correct "Logan says"
Wow so that's why you're always stressed out? "Camille says"
Yeah between homework and rehearsals and touring it's a lot to handle. Mama Knight is a super mom taking care of us all on her own "Logan says"
You're right she is incredible "Camille says" Do you have any 3's?
No "Logan says" Go fish
They keep playing until it's time to go inside*
Wednesday afternoon Logan visits the set of Witches Of Rowdale Drive*
Two tall muscular looking teen boys names Evan and Seth see him*
You lost kid? "Evan says"
No I'm not lost "Logan says"
Why are you here? "Seth says"
I'm looking for Camille "Logan says"
Why? "Evan says"
I'm gonna surprise her. She's very important to me and she's a wonderful actress. You do recognize me right? "Logan says"
You're that nerdy kid from Big Time Rush. Hogan Litchell "Seth says"
Actually my name is Logan Mitchell "Logan says" Is she on the stage or is she in her dressing room?
We could tell you exactly where she is but where's the fun in that? "Evan says"
You're way more fun to tease "Seth says"
Guys I'm really just trying to find Camille. Please just tell me where she is "Logan says getting frustrated"
What's going on over here? "Camille says"
Cami I'm so happy to see you. They wouldn't let me on the set. I just wanted to surprise you. Surprise! "Logan says"
Oh my gosh you really do know him? "Evan says"
Unbelievable "Seth says"
I'm her-"Logan starts to say but is cut off by Camille"
Personal assistant "she says" it's his day off but he decided to visit me
Cami what are you talking about? "He says confused" We're dat-
Dating other people right now "Camille says"
Huh? "He says"
Wow so you're not dating him? All the Pop Tiger magazines are lying? "Evan says"
Yeah "Camille lies"
You told us you would never date a nerd "Seth says" He fits the description of one
Wow Cami I thought you were better than this but I was wrong. So I'm a nerd to you and have been downgraded to your imaginary personal assistant. Good to know "Logan says and leaves devastated"
Wait Logan I can explain "Camille says running after him"
No need. I've had all I can handle of you today "He says as he leaves"
At the Palm Woods*
In Pool area*
That's so unlike Camille "Jo says" I'll talk to her later tonight
What good will that do? She's ashamed of me "Logan says"
I'm a teenage girl. She's a teenage girl. I've got this "Jo says"
Thanks Jo. Kendall is lucky to have you in his life. And you're a great friend too "Logan says"
You're so sweet to say that "Jo says"
Logie watch me do a really big cannonball! That'll cheer you up right? "Carlos says excitedly"
Sure buddy let me just step back before you-*he's drenched by water" *sighs* jump in
Sorry Logie "Carlos says laughing" Join me please
I was reading. I'm not done "Logan says"
Aw come on. It's more fun if you join me "Carlos says"
Fine "Logan says and puts his book down in a safe area away from the water"
He walks down the steps and lets his body adjust to the cold water. After 10 minutes it feels good*
Sneak attack!! "Carlos says and splashes him"
You're gonna get it now! "Logan says laughing"
They all go inside when it starts getting dark*
Thursday morning*
Its a chaotic scene with breakfast. Nothing is going right in the kitchen*
Ahhh!! Mom the toaster is smoking! "Katie says"
It's ok "Logan says grabbing her and getting her away from it" You good?
Yeah I'm ok. Where's mom? "She says"
In the shower "he says" Go sit on the couch and watch SpongeBob
Tyler is suppose to walk downstairs with me. Why isn't he here yet? "She says and sits down"
I don't know "he says"
The smoke alarm goes off*
Not again! "Carlos says"
What happened? "Logan says"
I was trying to cook my bacon and it caught on fire! "Carlos says scared of the flames"
Where's the fire extinguisher?! "Logan says panicking"
Under the cabinet of the sink "James says" Do you know how to use it?
I learned from a YouTube video "Logan says and sprays the foam on the fire"
Ms. Knight comes out of the bathroom in a robe soaked and upset*
What happened Mama Knight? "Carlos says"
The shower isn't working. The pipe burst and it sprayed me in the face "she says"
Are you ok? "He says"
Yes I'm fine. I'll just go dry off and call Buddha Bob "she says and goes to her room"
Jo walks in shocked to see everything that's happening* What's going on in here?
A lot Jo. A lot is happening "Logan says"
Where's Kendall? He was suppose to help me with my lines today for a big scene on New Town High "she says"
But that isn't until after school. Why are you going over them now? "he says"
I'm really nervous about it "she says"
Aw you don't have to be nervous Jo. You're an amazing actress "he says"
Thanks Logan but big Hollywood producers are coming and if they like my performance New Town High could get it's own movie special "she says"
Wow that is something to be nervous for. I wouldn't want to mess that up "James says"
Dude come on! Don't make her feel worse! "Logan says"
Sorry Jo "James says"
It's ok James I know you didn't mean it like that "Jo says"
Kenny you're needed! Jo is here waiting for you! "Logan says"
He walks in looking out of shape and exhausted* Hey Jo *Suddenly throws up*
Oh no. You ok buddy? Go lay back down. I'll clean it up "Logan says"
I can't let you do that "Kendall says" From what I heard from our bedroom you've been doing a lot on your own already. When there's another person perfectly capable of helping you out "glares at James"
What? "The tall brunette says"
You should be helping him!! "The tall blonde says angrily"
It's ok Kenny. I've got this. "Logan says trying to avoid an argument between his two taller band mates"
He didn't ask for help!! "James says munching hard on an apple"
He shouldn't have to! You should've automatically offered!! "Kendall says and groans holding his stomach. He throws up and collapses to his knees"
runs to him* Logan is right. You need to go back to bed right away "Jo says"
I can't. I gotta help you with that big scene you've been nervous about "he says"
You can't do that if you don't have the energy to do it. You're sick. Your health is way more important than my career "she says" Get back to bed please
He finally relents and stands up sighing* You're the best girlfriend ever
I'll help you amiga. I'll help you go over your lines "Carlos says" If that's ok with you
Thanks Carlos. That's really sweet of you "Jo says"
Kendall reluctantly goes back to the bedroom he shares with Logan*
The fire alarm finally turns off. The toaster is fried and won't work anymore and the bacon is burnt to a crisp*
What did Camille say to you last night Jo? "Logan says cleaning up the mess on the floor"
She feels bad about how she treated you and she's sorry "Jo says"
That doesn't explain her behavior at all "Logan says"
It's complicated. She needs to explain it to you "Jo says"
Fine "he says" I'll listen to what she has to say
Great "Jo says"
Tyler texted me he can't go to school. He's got the stomach flu "Katie says sadly"
That must be what Kendall has "James says" Will it spread to the rest of us?
I hope not. Let's just get to school "Logan says and they all leave out"
Later that afternoon Buddha Bob has successfully fixed everything*
At Palm Woods Park*
Logan I know you're still mad at me and you have every right to be but I'm gonna explain everything. Seth and Evan are extremely talented but have big egos. They always get the bigger parts in the show and have beautiful girlfriends who are talented in like beauty pageants and horse back riding. Cool stuff like that. They don't consider me a friend. I panicked when I described you to everyone. They didn't think you were cool enough to be my boyfriend so when you visited me I got nervous and lied. I'm so sorry "Camille says"
So what I'm hearing is you're embarrassed of me for liking science and math and you're jealous of your female co stars for being pretty and riding horses. It's all clear to me now. You don't love me. You love your career more. What people think of you is what matters to you. Not me. Not us. Only you "He says offended" I thought of you as the coolest girl in the world but I was severely mistaken *sighs* You've broke me inside and out. I'm done with this conversation and I do not forgive you. I've got to get back to Apartment 2J to take care of someone I love. Kendall would never stab me in my soul like you have. At least as my brother he would talk to me so we can work it out but you didn't do that. You pushed me aside like I was freakin garbage!! *Angrily leaves*
Logan wait! "She calls after him but he ignores her"
Back in Apartment 2J*
He goes to the bedroom he shares with Kendall to give him medicine*
Here take this. It'll settle your stomach
Logan what with you and Camille? Did the talk go well? "Kendall says"
Take the medicine "Logan says ignoring the question"
Logan you're dodging the problem "The tall blonde says"
Just take the medicine "Logan says and shoves the spoon in his mouth and forcing him to swallow" No more stressing about me. You need to get some rest so you can feel better. I'm not important right now. You are. You're my brother and I'm gonna take care of you. Mama Knight is worried enough about you. She needs a break. She's going to the spa tomorrow. I used my allowance to make an appointment for her. She's gonna get the best package they offered. The best massages, mani- pedi and facial
You did all that for my mom? "Kendall says"
Of course. She's like a second mom to me. I love her as much as you do. It's just a nice gift for taking care of all of us "Logan says"
Wow Loganator that's amazing "Kendall says"
Your mom is incredibly so inspiring "Logan says" I hope she likes it
She will "Kendall says"
I'll check on you later "Logan says and leaves the room"
He starts on his homework then watches tv with Carlos*
Logie are you sure you're ok? "the young Latino says"
I'm fine. I don't want to talk about Camille at all "Logan says"
Ok well if she's really made you this sad then I don't want to be her friend anymore "he says" It's not fair to you
You don't have to change your relationship with her cuz I broke up with her "Logan says" Don't do that. You care about her don't you?
Yeah "Carlos says"
Good. Keep it that way "Logan says"
Dinner is ready. Katie wanted to make you guys hot dogs "Kendall says"
Shouldn't you be in bed resting? "James says"
I'm feeling better and I was getting lonely and bored "Kendall says"
And he watched everything I did which was very annoying "Katie says glaring at her older brother"
I did it to keep you safe. You're welcome "he says rolling his eyes"
Everyone eats and goes to bed*
Friday morning at school. The tension between Logan and Camille is strong*
Later that afternoon Gustavo stops by*
In the Palm Woods Lobby*
Logan you're just the person I wanted to see
Why? "Logan says confused"
It's about your relationship with Camille "Gustavo says"
How do you know about the problems I've been having with her? I didn't tell you. Who told you? "Logan says"
No one. I figured it out myself "Gustavo says"
How? "Logan says"
You always talk about her when you're at rehearsal. Lately when you've been coming you haven't been and that worried me "Gustavo says"
Me not talking about my dating life CONCERNED YOU? "Logan says in disbelief" Yeah right. Remember when Jo's producer wanted the press to think she was dating Jett and how you totally disregarded her and Kendall's feelings about the idea and printed the moment of them making out to the press without them knowing? You didn't respect their privacy and I don't expect to respect mine. I've got to go do something more productive. If I'm not at Palm Woods Park in the next five minutes to play football with the guys they're gonna start looking me. I've gotta go
Ok fine. I learned my lesson from invading Jo and Kendall's privacy and interfering with their dating life. I won't do the same with you or James or Carlos or even Katie. I just know you're hurting inside. I'm worried about you "Gustavo says"
I'll be fine. You're not the best person to go to for comfort and support mainly cuz you yell at us everyday "Logan says" I really gotta get going *He leaves out*
After having fun the guys go back inside. Carlos and James go to the game room, Logan goes to the book store and Kendall chills out by the pool*
Can I talk to you Kendall? "Camille says"
I don't think that's a good idea "he says"
Please Kendall "she says with big puppy dog eyes"
Ok fine but make it quick. I don't want Logan mad at me too "the blonde teen says"
He's exactly who I wanted to talk to you about. I messed up bad. Really bad and I want to fix my relationship with him. I really do. Isn't there any way I can do that? "She says"
I don't know. You really did break his heart Camille. It'll take time to mend it "Kendall says"
Maybe we can-"Camille is cut off by an angry voice"
Hey what are you doing?! "Logan says" Why are you talking to him? You gonna try to tell him all his flaws too?!
No Logan I just needed help to bring you and I back together "Camille says"
Not a chance that'll ever happen "Logan says"
Logan I think you should go easy on her. She really is sorry "Kendall says"
Kenny it's complicated. She isn't sorry for me. She's sorry she was caught "Logan says" *sighs* I got you some new hockey magazines *gives them to him*
Wow thanks. You didn't have to do this "Kendall says"
I know but I wanted to "Logan says" It's been a long week. I'm going inside to relax. I suggest you both do the same
You don't want me to suffer? "Camille says surprised"
I'm mad at you but I'm not a monster "Logan says"
They all go inside*
In Apartment 2J*
The guys have a video game tournament that lasts for several hours until they fall asleep at 4:30 in the morning spread out on the big orange couch*
By sunrise they wake up and eat breakfast then go to the beach*
Logan I know you don't want to talk about Camille but I think you should talk to her. You miss her. I know you do. It's so obvious "Jo says"
Jo I appreciate your concern I really do but it's just too painful to do that right now "Logan says" She's ashamed of who I am. I can't change who I turned out to be. I don't want to try to live up to her standards of the perfect boyfriend
You want me to talk to her again? "Jo says"
Why? There's no point "Logan says" Do whatever you want. I don't care
Logie come look for sea shells with me. That'll cheer you up "Carlos says and runs down the shoreline"
Logan sighs and follows him*
This isn't good is it? For him to be depressed like this "Jo says to Kendall"
No it's not good at all "He says" If we're gonna get him and Camille back together we'll have to plan it very delicately. You're her best friend. Talk to her please
Ok I'll do that "Jo says"
Hey James do you know Katie buried you in the sand? "Kendall says laughing"
Huh? "James says groggily waking up from his nap" Katie!
She just bursts out laughing*
That is hilarious "Jo says"
No it's not "James says unamused"
Don't move yet I'm not done "Katie says"
James sighs then laughs*
When the sun starts to set they all go home*
Later that night they have a movie marathon*
Early Sunday morning Logan's phone rings*
He doesn't hear it cuz he's too deep asleep*
Dude! Logan answer your phone! "Kendall says groggily. He sits up and gently shakes him* Wake up buddy, wake up
What's happening? What's wrong? "Logan says yawning"
Your phone is ringing "Kendall says"
Who could be calling me at 6:00 in the morning? "Logan says and grabs it" Hello? Griffin? Why are you calling me? Come in now? But it's the weekend. No I'm not dressed. I'm literally in my underwear. Fine *hangs and groans*
What was that all about? "Kendall says" Why did Griffin just call you so early in the morning?
He wants us to come in right now "Logan says"
Why? "Kendall says"
I don't know but I doubt it's for anything we'll like "Logan says" I promised Katie I would teach her how to play chess today
You can still keep your promise after we do whatever Griffin wants "Kendall says"
They all get dressed and quickly eat breakfast*
I'm ready for my lesson. Where are you going? "Katie says"
Rocque Records "James says unenthusiastically"
But Logan what about my chess lesson? You promised "Katie says"
I know Katie-Bear I'll still give you the lesson. I can't ever break a promise to a sweet girl like you "He says and hugs her"
See you later princessà "Carlos says"
At Rocque Records*
There you are boys. You're just in time "Griffin says"
For what? "Kendall says suspiciously"
The press conference "Griffin says"
What press conference? "The boys says in unison"
The one on Logan's dating life. He's gonna tell the whole world how a girl broke his heart and he needs the support of his fans by them buying BTR music. Profits will skyrocket "Griffin says"
I can't do that "Logan says" How do you even know about all that?
He blabbed! Gustavo must've told him everything! "Kendall says"
Dramatic breakups are good for publicity "Gustavo says defensively"
You told me you were concerned about my relationship with Camille and apologized for what you did to Jo and Kendall and now you're repeating history! You don't care about me at all! "Logan says"
Camille Roberts. The girl from Witches of Rowdale Drive? "Griffin says"
Yeah that's her "Logan says"
You absolutely must hate her for what she did to you right? "Griffin says"
No of course not "Logan says"
You still love her? "James says"
Of course I do "Logan says" I'm not gonna let the paparazzi harass her. I don't want BTR'S fans mad at her and bully her. She doesn't deserve all that. What she did was very painfully emotionally draining but deep down I know she's a good person and she is the coolest girl in the world
You really mean all that Logan? "Camille says walking out of Gustavo's office"
What's she doing here? "James says confused"
I texted her on the way here. I wanted her to hear Logan speak his heart out about her "Kendall says" I know the passion between them isn't over
I meant every word Camille "Logan says" I don't know if I can recover right away with what you said but I can give you another chance. If that's what you want
Of course it is "She says" I'm really truly sorry. I'll clear everything up right now with my co stars
Great "Logan says" And thanks Kenny. I know you were worried about me. I didn't mean to stress you out like that
These two worry me more than you "Kendall says gesturing towards James and Carlos"
I know you'll turn out ok as an adult in the future
And we won't? "James says offended"
Ouch "Carlos says"
He means it with love you guys "Camille says laughing"
They go back to the Palm Woods*
Logan and Camille go to the Witches of Rowdale Drive set*
Why exactly did you text us to come here? "Evan says irritated"
We can't be here on the weekend "Seth says"
You can both go back to mindlessly playing video games after I'm done with what I have to say so LISTEN UP!! "Camille says already tired of them complaining"
Everyone I have something to say about Logan. That's why I brought him here. I lied about him and I feel terrible about it. He is my boyfriend and I'm proud of that. He's smart and funny and kind. Yeah he likes science and math but that's what makes him awesome. And he doesn't like being called a nerd. I knew that and called him one anyway. But I won't anymore. He deserves respect from all of you. Especially you two. I'm talking about you Seth and Evan. Whenever he visits just let him through. Don't give him a hard time please
And why should we listen to you "Seth says"
Cuz it's the right thing to do "Logan says" So do it
Fine "Evan says"
Thanks Cami. What you just did was really sweet. Usually it's always the guys defending me. I've never had a girl do it. Feels odd but in a good way "Logan says"
You're welcome. What about Katie? She seems very protective of you "Camille says"
She is. And will annihilate me if I don't get back and teach her chess like I promised "Logan says"
They go back to Apartment 2J*
You ready now? "Katie says impatiently"
Yeah. Go sit at the coffee table by the couch. I'll get the game "Logan says and grabs it from the room he shares with Kendall. He puts it on the table and puts the pieces in the right places" Chess is a game of discipline and patience. And here at the 10 benefits of playing chess I read online. It can raise your IQ
Chess has always had an image problem, being seen as a game for brainiacs and people with already high IQs. So there has been a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation: do smart people gravitate towards chess, or does playing chess make them smart? At least one study has shown that moving those knights and rooks around can in fact raise a person's intelligence quotient. A study of 4,000 Venezuelan students produced significant rises in the IQ scores of both boys and girls after 4 months of chess instruction.
2. It helps prevent Alzheimer's
Because the brain works like a muscle, it needs exercise like any bicep or quad to be healthy and ward off injury. A recent study featured in The New England Journal of Medicine found that people over 75 who engage in brain- stretching activities like chess are less likely to develop dementia than their non-board-game-playing peers. Just like an un-exercised muscle loses strength, Dr. Robert Freidland, the study's author, found that unused brain tissue leads to a loss of brain power. So that's all the more reason to play chess before you turn 75.
3. It exercises both sides of the brain
In a German study, researchers showed chess experts and novices simple geometric shapes and chess positions and measured the subjects' reactions in identifying them. They expected to find the experts' left brains being much more active, but they did not expect the right hemisphere of the brain to do so as well. Their reaction times to the simple shapes were the same, but the experts were using both sides of their brains to more quickly respond to the chess position questions.
4. It increases your creativity
Since the right hemisphere of the brain is responsible for creativity, it should come as no surprise that activating the right side of your brain helps develop your creative side. Specifically, chess greatly increases originality. One four-year study had students from grades 7 to 9 play chess, use computers, or do other activities once a week for 32 weeks to see which activity fostered the most growth in creative thinking. The chess group scored higher in all measures of creativity, with originality being their biggest area of gain.
5. It improves your memory
Chess players know — as an anecdote — that playing chess improves your memory. Being a good player means remembering how your opponent has operated in the past and recalling moves that have helped you win before. But there's hard evidence also. In a two-year study in 1985, young students who were given regular opportunities to play chess improved their grades in all subjects, and their teachers noticed better memory and better organizational skills in the kids. A similar study of Pennsylvania sixth-graders found similar results. Students who had never before played chess improved their memories and verbal skills after playing.
6. It increases problem-solving skills
A chess match is like one big puzzle that needs solving, and solving on the fly, because your opponent is constantly changing the parameters. Nearly 450 fifth-grade students were split into three groups in a 1992 study in New Brunswick. Group A was the control group and went through the traditional math curriculum. Group B supplemented the math with chess instruction after first grade, and Group C began the chess in first grade. On a standardized test, Group C's grades went up to 81.2% from 62% and outpaced Group A by 21.46%.
7. It improves reading skills
In an oft-cited 1991 study, Dr. Stuart Margulies studied the reading performance of 53 elementary school students who participated in a chess program and evaluated them compared to non-chess-playing students in the district and around the country. He found definitive results that playing chess caused increased performance in reading. In a district where the average students tested below the national average, kids from the district who played the game tested above it.
8. It improves concentration
Chess masters might come off like scattered nutty professors, but the truth is their antics during games are usually the result of intense concentration that the game demands and improves in its players. Looking away or thinking about something else for even a moment can result in the loss of a match, as an opponent is not required to tell you how he moved if you didn't pay attention. Numerous studies of students in the U.S., Russia, China, and elsewhere have proven time and again that young people's ability to focus is sharpened with chess.
9. It grows dendrites
Dendrites are the tree-like branches that conduct signals from other neural cells into the neurons they are attached to. Think of them like antennas picking up signals from other brain cells. The more antennas you have and the bigger they are, the more signals you'll pick up. Learning a new skill like chess-playing causes dendrites to grow. But that growth doesn't stop once you've learned the game; interaction with people in challenging activities also fuels dendrite growth, and chess is a perfect example.
10. It teaches planning and foresight
Having teenagers play chess might just save their lives. It goes like this: one of the last parts of the brain to develop is the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for planning, judgment, and self-control. So adolescents are scientifically immature until this part develops. Strategy games like chess can promote prefrontal cortex development and help them make better decisions in all areas of life, perhaps keeping them from making a stupid, risky choice of the kind associated with being a teenager.
Wow that's so cool "Katie says"
Aw you did so much research. That's so sweet "Camille says"
Logan smiles lovingly at her*
Excuse me Romeo. Focus on the game please "Katie says"
Oh right. Sorry "Logan says"
They start the game*
Is this really happening right now? "James says"
Yeah what's the problem? "Kendall says"
If she ends up like him she'll be teased "James says"
Nobody will tease our princessà as long as we're around "Carlos says"
And being smart will help her in the future. Relax James. I'm setting her up for success "Logan says" And what's wrong with ending up like me? You gotta problem with me?
Nothing is wrong with you or being like you. I don't have a problem with you bro. My words came out wrong. Sorry "James says"
You're so annoying sometimes. You're lucky I love you dude "Logan says laughing and fists bumps him"
Did I win? Can I say it? "Katie says"
Yeah "Logan says"
Checkmate! "Katie says"
Good job! "Logan says high fiving her"
After that Camille goes home*
