CHAPTER ONE

Carlos grinned happily as he threw himself onto the orange couch in apartment 2J. It had been a hard day in Gustavo's recording studio and all four boys were thoroughly exhausted. James followed the shorter male's example, plopping down next to him with a soft sigh. He was enjoying every second of this experience. Unlike the others, he loved the hard rigorous schedules and that their lives had been completely consumed by it.

"This is so amazing," James grinned, as he slouched into the couch, careful not to ruin his hair.

Kendall smirked at his friend, raising an eyebrow. "Being yelled at by Gustavo for the millionth time?"

"Or having to do the dance move for the thousandth time because Logan can't get it down," Carlos grinned playfully.

Logan sighed and carefully sat on one end of the couch. "It's not funny, I think I hurt myself," he pouted, rubbing his sore thighs.

James grinned, ignoring Logan's complaint, "yes, all of it! It's really happening! We're going to be famous and the girls are going to be fighting to get a hand on us!"

Carlos and Kendall laughed while Logan just rolled his eyes moving his gaze to Kendall again. He knew why his gaze always went to him, but he tried not to think about it. Watching Kendall made him feel better and that was all that mattered to him.

"Boys, go clean up for dinner," Ms. Knight called happily from the kitchen. "And Kendall, go find Katie she said she was going to the pool. Make sure she's not gambling again," she added, with a sigh.

Kendall nodded and moved to do as he was told, not noticing how Logan's eyes followed his every movement. The other two boys moved to clean up, not upset to shower and get out of their sweaty clothes. They hardly paid any mind to how Logan's gaze bore into Kendall. They were used to it. Kendall had always held his gaze; it'd be stranger if Logan wasn't watching him.

Logan stayed in his seat, the apartment only had two bathrooms, so there was no point in him going to try and find an empty shower, and he was not going to share a shower with them. They were close, but that would just be too awkward. He whimpered softly in pain as he stood and moved to the kitchen. "Need any help, Ms. Knight," he asked smiling gently.

She turned and smiled at him, thinking of all the boys as her sons. "Sure sweetie, how about you stir the macaroni while I check on the cake." She grinned, and Logan's smile widened. He loved the entire Knight family as if they were his own. He moved to the macaroni, stirring it carefully.

Kendall looked around the pool until his eyes landed on Katie sitting at a table with the housekeeping staff, a pile of money in front of her. Kendall chuckled at his little sister and moved to her side, putting his hand on the back of her chair and leaning down.

"Split it fifty fifty with me and I won't tell mom that you were hustling," Kendall smirked, his eyebrow raising as he looked at her.

Katie sighed and rolled her eyes mumbling, "I'll give you five dollars and I won't tell mom about that thing I found hidden under your mattress."

Kendall's eyes widened in shock but he quickly regained his composer, reaching to the table and grabbing a five quietly off of the table. "Mom said to come up for dinner," he shoved the five into his pocket and turned on his heel, walking back to the elevators.

Katie smirked and gathered up her winnings, leaving the housekeeping staff at the table. She hadn't actually looked through his room, but she had seen enough shows on Fox to know that under the mattress is where boys hide things they don't want their mother to see. "Idiot," she mumbled, hurrying to follow her brother.

"Kendall," Jo called as she hurried to his side. She had her towel wrapped around her and her hair was dripping wet. Kendall's mind went blank for a moment as he wondered how he missed seeing Jo in a bathing suit.

"Hey," he smiled, quickly gathering himself. "What's up?" He tried to act casual, but his heart was beating faster and his teenage hormones were screaming to pull the towel off her.

"I was wondering if we were ever going to go out on that second date," she smiled, her own eyebrows raised expectantly.

Katie rolled her eyes and moved past her bother opting to avoid watching him be an even bigger idiot than she thought he could be.

"Gustavo's been pushing us really hard, Jo, but maybe we could go out tonight," Kendall asked, his grin spreading slightly. "I doubt he'll call us back to the studio after Logan hurt himself in dance rehearsals," his eyes shined in amusement, remembering how Loan had tripped over his own feet and started a domino effect with the other boys.

Jo grinned widely and nodded, "alright. Pick me up at seven?"

Kendall smiled and nodded, watching as she ran off to her room clutching the towel tight to herself. He did an internal fist pump and then moved confidently to his own apartment, excited to tell the others about his successful afternoon.

Logan sat silently next to Kendall, his eyes, for once, not on his best friend. This did not go unnoticed by Ms. Knight, who smiled happily and listened to Kendall give in full detail about how he planned to go on another date with Jo tonight.

"She was in the pool?" Carlos shrieked, bouncing slightly in his seat.

"Yes," Kendall grinned, winking at the shorter boy.

James pouted as he pushed his macaroni around on the plate. "This isn't fair," he mumbled, putting his fork down and looking at everyone at the table. "I'm the one with the face!" He made his jazz hands motion as he gestured to his face.

"Aw, don't worry James, you'll get a girl too," Ms. Knight cooed, comforting him the best way she knew how. "Now, who wants cake?!"

James, Carlos, and Katie lit up eagerly raising their hands. Logan looked up at her, smiling softly and politely, his eyes still not falling on Kendall. He stood silently and moved to help clear the plates, following the older woman into the kitchen.

"Kiss up," Katie mumbled under her breath as she moved to take a sip of her water.

"I think he's jealous," James smirked, looking at Kendall.

"Totally," Carlos grinned, which slowly turned into a frown. "But I am too," he sighed. James nodded in agreement.

Kendall chuckled and shook his head, looking at the clock on the wall.

"Here we go," Ms. Knight smiled as she placed the plates in front of Katie and the boys, setting one down on her placemat as she sat down.

"Where's Logan," Kendall asked, eyebrows furrowed in curiosity as he took a bite out of his cake.

"He volunteered to wash the dishes since he wasn't in the mood for chocolate," she shrugged, smiling at the cake.

Kendall smiled as the sound of water drifted from the kitchen. He quickly finished his piece of cake and stood, moving to the kitchen. "Thanks for helping my mom," he smiled as he watched Logan jump practically three feet in the air.

Logan blushed, "you don't have to thank me, I like helping her out." He smiled looking at Kendall for the first time since his announcement.

"Look," Kendall began, putting his hand on Logan's shoulder and squeezing gently, "I know you're jealous about me and Jo."

Logan stared at him in shock. His heart racing as he turned his gaze back to the dishes in the sink, scrubbing them clean as if it was the most important task in the world.

"And I get that you were into her too when she first got here, but I thought that you were okay with me dating her?"

Logan let out the breath he had been holding in and smiled. "I'm not jealous of you." I'm jealous of Jo, he thought then quickly shook his head laughing. "You should worry about getting clean for your date, unless she's into the whole sweaty reeking teen thing." He scrunched up his nose, like he smelled the worst stench in the world, but his lips were curved up in a smile.

Kendall laughed and moved his hand into Logan's hair, ruffling it up playfully. "Jerk," he grinned and moved to the shower, deciding he should try and set Logan up on a date too.
