Hi everyone! So, I decided to make my one-shot, It's Just a Dance, into a full story. If you want to get an idea of what this is gonna be about, I suggest you go read it. This is my first full-story on the Big Time Rush forum, so be gentle - but be honest with what you think! I really hope you enjoy it :)

October

"You're going to give me a heart attack one day. You know I have heart problems!" I said as I walked out of my bathroom, placing my hand on my chest to try to slow my heart rate. My best friend, Kendall Knight, was just casually lying down on my bed like he owned it.

"You scare too easily," he said and smirked.

"Can't you be normal and not climb through my window? They invented doors for a reason."

"Where's the fun in that?" he asked as he sat up on my bed and looked me up and down, realizing I was still in a towel. "Not that I mind, but why aren't you dressed?"

"Because I just got out of the shower," I said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I would have been dressed if you didn't decide to be here. One of these days you're going to walk in on me naked."

"And that will be the best day of my life," he said as he lay back down. "Hurry up or we'll be late to school."

"Are you going to leave so I can get changed?" I asked, but he shook his head 'no' and placed his hands over his eyes.

'He can be such a pain at times,' I thought to myself. I rolled my eyes and started to get dressed. I looked over to see if Kendall had looked, but I knew he wouldn't. We joke about things like this all the time, that's just how our friendship goes.

"I'm dressed," I said as I started to fix my hair. "If you looked, I'll hurt you."

"Promise I didn't."

"So why are you looking at me like that?"

"Can't I just admire my best friend in her uniform?" he asked as he tilted his head to look up my skirt.

"You're such a pig," I laughed. "You were in such a rush before, so let's go."

"Fine, fine," he said as he jumped off my bed and headed downstairs. I grabbed my purse and followed him down.

"Want any food before we go?" I asked as I walked toward my kitchen, where my mom was sitting at the table reading the paper. "Hi Mom, Kendall's here."

"Hi honey," she said as she put the paper down. "I don't remember letting Kendall in this morning."

"That's because you didn't," I said and saw Kendall look uncomfortable, so I let it slide this time. "I did before I went in the shower, he needed to copy homework."

"Oh okay," she said and shrugged, but a look in her eyes told me she knew I was lying. I grabbed two bags of brownies and threw one at Kendall. "Come on, we're gonna be late."

"Bye you two," my mom called out. "Oh, and Kendall."

"Yes Mrs. Taylor," Kendall said.

"If Mr. Taylor is home, use the front door next time," she said and smiled.

"Sure thing," he said and grabbed my arm to pull me out of my house.

"Someone got caught," I said in a sing-song voice.

"Shut up," he mumbled as we walked over to his car in the driveway over.

Being neighbors with Kendall was always interesting. I had moved here to Minnesota, from North Carolina, in 5th grade. Kendall, his mom, and his baby sister had come by to welcome us to the neighborhood. I was happy to find out I had a kid my age next door, he wasn't happy that I was a girl. It wasn't until the next week at school when I let him copy my homework did we become best friends.

"You're lucky my parents love you," I told him as he backed out of his driveway. "If that was someone else, my mother would have ripped you a new asshole."

"Someone else like Jett?" he asked.

"You promised you wouldn't bring him up, you jerk," I said and smacked him.

The rest of the car ride to school we didn't talk, the only noise was the radio playing. We reached school and he pulled into a spot. I go out of the car and went to walk away, but Kendall grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a hug.

"I'm sorry," he whispered into my hair. "I didn't mean to bring it up."

"I know, it's fine," I said and pulled away. I looked around and saw everyone staring at us, probably trying to figure out whether we're a couple or not.

The two of us had dated back in sophomore year, when everyone was coupling up and we figured why not. We lasted a while, but we were never really a couple, at least I never thought so. Things basically stayed the same between us; except he paid for me more often and we were able to kiss without people finding it odd.

"You just never talked about what happened."

"I know, it's too soon," I said and he nodded. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into a headlock. "Kendall, you ass!"

"Gonna be late," he said and laughed as he dragged me into the building. I tried to fight against him, but it was useless. He pulled me into class and we sat in the back of the room, where our friends were saving seats for us.

"Why are you pulling her like she belongs on a leash?" Stephanie asked.

"She is a woman," James said, earning a slap from both Stephanie and Camille. "Ouch!"

"Don't be a pig," Camille said.

"He just decided to manhandle me when we got out of the car, no big deal," I said and huffed as I sat down next to my best friends.

I met Camille and Stephanie in freshman year of high school since we had every class together practically. Because they were my friends, they also became friends with Carlos, Logan, and James. I met the boys back in 5th grade when I met Kendall. Unlike Kendall, they liked the idea of having a girl friend to hang out with, but I think they liked me more because of the homework.

"Speaking of pigs, what are you guys being for my Halloween party next week?" James said when he finally pulled himself away from his reflection.

"How did pigs make you think of Halloween?" I asked, completely confused.

"I don't know, maybe someone's dressing as a pig for Halloween," he said and rolled his eyes. "Back to the point!"

"I'm being a nurse and Logan's being a doctor," Camille said.

"I'm being a cop and Steph's being my prisoner," Carlos said.

"Wow, those sound like they'll get used again," I said, completely disgusted by the idea. I saw Stephanie and Logan blush, but Camille and Carlos just grinned.

"What are you being?" Stephanie asked, trying to direct the attention away from them.

"No idea," I said and shrugged.

"I'm being Hugh Hefner," James said.

"Of course you are."

"I think I'm going as a hockey player," Kendall said.

"You should be a cheerleader or a referee so you and Kendall can go together!" Camille said excitedly. She has been trying to get Kendall and I back together since we broke up because she's convinced we're meant to be.

"Um, no thanks. I don't want to partake in your role playing fantasy," I told them.

"If the seven of you in the back could refrain from voluntary verbalization until class is over, it'd be greatly appreciated," Mr. Smith said. We all turn around in our seats and sat quietly. Kendall handed me a folded piece of paper. Just because we couldn't talk doesn't mean we still couldn't communicate.

'We could both go as hockey players. I have a jersey you could borrow.' I looked at him and nodded before I scribbled something down on the paper and handed it back to him.

'Sounds good. We'll go together but it'll look less like a couple.' He gave me a small smile before he handed me the note back.

'Wanna talk about Jett later?' I looked at him and shook my head before I stood up and threw the piece of paper out. End of conversation.

"Jo, wait up," Kendall called down the hallway when he saw my by my locker.

"What?" I asked when he stopped in front of me.

"I'm sorry I brought up Jett again. I'm just worried since you're holding it in."

"I will tell you, I'm just not ready yet," I told him and he nodded. "On to a new subject please."

"No problem," Kendall said and smiled at his best friend.

We started walking to their next classroom together when I had to go to the bathroom. Kendall offered to take my books to class and he'd meet me in there. I walked into the bathroom and found Mercedes in there already.

"Well look who it is," she said as she glared at me.

"What's the problem, Mercedes? I came in here to pee, not to get annoyed by you," I said and rolled my eyes.

"Kendall still hanging around you?"

"Why is that relevant?"

"Poor boy must feel bad. I want him, I will have him," she said as she took a step closer to me.

"Who's stopping you? He's my best friend, not my boyfriend. Although, you're a total bitch so I'm not sure how well it'll work out."

"Just stay out of my way, Taylor," she said menacingly before storming out of the bathroom.

"Someone forgot to take her meds this morning," I said to myself as I looked at myself in the mirror and applied some lip-gloss before leaving.

I walked into class and saw that Mercedes was trying to get my seat next to Kendall. That's when I noticed two seats over in the opposite corner that was closer to our group of friends.

"Kendall, come over here," I said as I sat down. He looked over and smiled before grabbing our books and getting up, just as Mercedes sat down. I could practically see the smoke come out of her ears.

"What was wrong with those seats?" he asked.

"Didn't feel like sitting next to the ice queen over there."

"She seems nice."

"Exactly, she seems nice, doesn't mean she actually is."

"Girls," Kendall said and rolled his eyes before he turned toward James to ask him about the party.

"Mercedes saying you started with her in the bathroom," Camille said to me. "Care to tell me the real story?"

"She's just jealous I'm friends with Kendall. Don't understand what's up her butt, she started with me."

"She's psychotic," Camille said and shrugged.

The rest of the day went by quickly and soon enough, I was waiting out in the chilly October air for Kendall to get to his car.

"Took you long enough," I said as he unlocked his car and I quickly got in.

"Sorry. Carlos was rollerblading down the hallway with his hockey stick and swatting away freshman who got in his way. Had to help out with that," he said and I laughed at the image in my head of Carlos doing that.

"He's out of his mind," I said and shook my head. "Got any plans today?"

"Nope, just hanging out with you."

"Oh lovely, so you'll be watching all the Harry Potter movies with me so I can be ready for when the last one comes out on DVD next month."

"You're mental."

"Only just a little," I said with a smile as Kendall shook his head and drove out of the parking lot.

"You're so lucky you're my best friend."

What'd you think? The next chapter will be out soon. I'm hoping to have regular updates with this, but I know that never happens lol. College & life will just get in the way. But I won't leave you guys hanging for long. Review & let me know what you thought :)
