James Diamond was known for flirting with basically every girl at the Palmwoods. What was new for him, having a long-time girlfriend. Lucy was different from any girl he has ever met. She wasn't interested in him at all in the beginning. Tricked him into the friendzone. Dated Kendall instead of him - which to this day he can't understand.
When they broke up because Jo came back from New Zealand, he finally thought he had a shot at being her boyfriend.
She continued giving him a hard time. Rejecting all his attempts and avoiding him when necessary. That only made him even more determined to make Lucy his. Somewhere along the lines she must have realized that she indeed does like Mister narcissist James Diamond and gave them their happy ending by finally connecting their lips.
Thinking about this, said boy put extra effort in making this date perfect tonight. Only the best clothes, food and company for his dream girl.
While getting ready in the bathroom, he happened to catch some parts of the conversation on the other side of the door.
"...none of us are really on friendly terms with James…"
How could we when you are talking about me behind my back, traitors!, he thought.
A while later he heard Logan describe what he almost did to him a few months ago in the studio.
"...he almost beat me up when I couldn't get this one stupid dance move right…"
I didn't do such a thing, how dare he.
"yelled at Carlos because he couldn't hit that one note… called him a 'talentless dumbass'... Los... was shattered…"
I don't remember saying that.
"...he would've attacked me…"
No, I wouldn't have, stop lying!
"I don't think so"
Finally someone is on my side.
"...has changed and has become more aggressive…"
What the fuck are you talking about?! I'm not aggressive, you are being assholes!
"...you're one of his best friends."
Well, then you should start to act like one and not gossip behind my back.
" ...the look in his eyes... furious with me... reminded me of the bullies back in middle school."
Oh wow, I'm sorry I made you feel this way. I know how horrible that time for you was.
While having all these thoughts he stopped fixing his hair and actually put down his lucky comb. His next move surprised not only Kendall and Logan, but rather himself. He left the bathroom in a mess and sat down back at the table.
"I heard everything.", he confessed, seemingly calm.
"Maybe it was time you did", Kendall chided under his breath.
