Author's Note: I asked Dalton (Demon'sAngel17) for a challenge and he gave me one that may turn into a chaptered story. The challenge was to place the boys of BTR in a college setting and have them deal with relationships and regular college drama. Since he didn't mention whether or not they were still in the band, I decided to have them no longer be a part of Big Time Rush, but still have the friendship with Kelly and be a fren-emy to Gustavo.

College Life: Freshman Year

'Logan, Carlos, James and Kendall, or as they are known by their fans, Big Time Rush, have given up their dream to become famous and left for college. Logan, the brainy one convinced them to get a formal education incase the whole pop star thing didn't work out. No one knows what college they are attending or if they are even going but watch your back boys because we, the reporters of TMZ, will find you." The sleazy reporter gave a wink that made Logan almost vomit.

Logan sighed and turned off the television before walking out of his dorm room and toward his Applied Statistics class. It was true, Logan told the band that he was tired of dealing with Griffin trying to make the boys fail so he left to get a regular education. At first James slapped him, but after a week he apologized and agreed, education was important because if for some reason the band failed then they could fall back on their education.

So once Logan got accepted to the local community college in Rancho Cucamonga, his friends followed him. Even if they still loved singing, they each had something that they wanted to do more. Logan, since he was 5, practically studied everyday to become a doctor. He never told anyone the reason why but Carlos knew. Every time Carlos received an injury after doing some insane stunt, Logan patched him up on the spot. Carlos noticed the red tint of Logan's cheeks whenever he was fixing Carlos' injury.

James loved acting and the theater arts, so it was only natural that he would be active in the drama club. He played most of the male leads in the plays that his school put on during high school. Acting, to James, was like second nature and he could really find an interest in pretending to be someone else. It felt like an escape from the reality and all the problems that came along with it.

Kendall, ever the athlete, joined the hockey, football, baseball, and swimming teams. He loved hearing the roar of the crowd, feeling like a part of a team and having something to do every night. He was technically 'undeclared' as his major but was leaning toward the athletic training program.

Carlos couldn't decide what he wanted to do with his life. He wasn't as smart as Logan, as talented actor as James, or as athletic as Kendall. So when his academic advisor asked Carlos what his major was he had to think about it. Finally, a light bulb went of in his head and he said with confidence 'Art.' It made sense to Carlos, artists were usually a little off the wall, a free spirit. It fit Carlos to a T.

Gustavo had accepted their decision and once the financial aspect was dealt with, each of the boys had enough money to buy everything that they ever wanted. Kelly told them to keep in contact because as long as their album kept selling then they would keep getting some of the profits.

Life continued and classes kept dishing out the homework, but the boys had a system set in place. Logan would assist them with any problems that they had with their homework. In return they would clean the apartment, everywhere except Logan's room because it was clean 24/7.

Midterms, exams, quizzed and projects came and went and the boys managed decent grades, except for Logan who aced everything. Somewhere along the way they found love, Logan finally admitted his feelings to Carlos while James started dating Kendall. Just like any relationship they had their ups and downs except, Logan and Carlos kept arguing until one day Carlos hit Logan.

"WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?" Logan screamed covering his eye; never did he expect Carlos to hit him. Instead of giving Logan an answer, Carlos just left the apartment and headed toward the art building.

Logan pulled his hand away from his eye and noticed the blood on it. He immediately rushed to a mirror and noticed the fact that it wasn't stopping.

Logan drove himself to the hospital with one hand, the other trying to stop the bleeding but it kept pouring out.

After the fight between Carlos and Logan, they decided it was best to break it off. They tried to remain friends but it always felt awkward between them, because even though Carlos hit Logan, Logan still had feelings toward Carlos. However, Kendall and James kept up their relationship and it grew stronger day after day. James always went to Kendall's games and Kendall made sure to see every one of James' performances. Logan was secretly jealous of Kendall and James' strong relationship.

Soon they returned to the normal routine of going to school and being polite to each other, Logan even continued to help Carlos with his schooling. Finals were coming and Carlos continued to have Logan help him because without passing the final, he wouldn't be allowed back.

Kendall sports ended the month before finals because there weren't any summer sports due to the fact that the school let out for the summer. The theater stopped producing plays for the finals season because for the theater majors, it was important to pass too. So Logan had his hands full with tutoring Kendall, James and to his conflicted opinion, Carlos.

With Logan's help the group managed to pass their freshman year of finals. James managed a B average, Kendall managed a C average and Carlos managed a B+ average, and of course, Logan got straight A's.

To celebrate the end of a successful year, the boys went out and hung out with their group of friends. Carlos brought the hippy artists, Kendall brought his teammates, James brought the entire drama department and Logan brought the academically gifted people. To the outside observer this would seem like a weird group setting, but just like the boys of Big Time Rush, it seemed to work. The intellectuals talked to the jocks, and the artists began conversing with the drama kids. It was a weird group yes, but it was normal to Logan, Kendall, James and Carlos.

They promised to return to the dorm once summer was over. Logan planned on taking more classes so he stayed at the apartment, Kendall wanted to follow his favorite hockey team around the country, James wanted to visit Broadway, and Carlos planned on visiting the country side to paint the scenery.

A/N: I am sorry if this sucked, but I wanted to try my hand on writing a story that didn't have a lot of dialogue. If you want me to use more dialogue, then please let me know in a review. I hope you like this Dalton.

Have an excellent day!
