Heeeeey...So...How's it going? Well, I have internet again...Yay. But I don't know how posting is going to be. I have a lot going on right now. I just recently found out that my grandpa is dying...so...yeah. But anyway...Here's a new story. This one is for my writing-buddy, Science-Fantasy93. Happy Birfday! I love you and I hope that you enjoy this. I know how much you love when Katie has a crush on James when she's in her early teens, so...Hopefully I did it right haha.

Disclaimer: I, sadly, do NOT own BTR. :( I just own the plot. Yay?

Warnings: Hmm...Well, Kevin says hell once. But I don't think there's anything I really need to warn you about. *Shrugs*

Katie's POV

I sighed as I flipped through the channels on the TV. Why, oh, why was I stuck being thirteen when I had a huge crush on my brother's best friend? He's all I've been able to think about. It's just not fair. If I was older...Hmmph. I mean, there was a chance he'd probably ignore me if I was older, too. But still. At least then I'd probably have a tiny chance.

And why did he have to be so freaking good looking? Jerk. Oh, look at me. I'm James Diamond and I'm super hot. All the girls want me. Grrr...But I couldn't really blame him, could I? Was it really his fault he was so attractive? I thought about it for a second. Yes, I could. And yes, it was.

He loved the attention he got. And he prided in making himself look good. Part of me was pretty sure he's what keeps CUDA going. Though he did smell good...Yeah, that was helping me.

I shook my head. It didn't matter anyway. I was too young for him. Though I could hope that it would change in a few years. After all, the age of consent here in Shakopee, Minnesota was sixteen. Then I could really pursue him. Maybe. If I could get up the courage to do it. If he rejected me, I'd be devastated. And I wasn't quite sure I wanted to risk that happening.

Before I could put any more thought into it, the guys walked through the front door. I gave them a small smile, and went back to flipping through channels.

James plopped down next to me, pulling me into his lap.

I blushed. Why was he torturing me? Couldn't he just let me wallow and wish he was mine in peace? Of course not. Because he had to have my attention, too. Well, he's just lucky I find him attractive.

He grinned down at me. "What's up, Baby Kitty?"

My blush darkened as I looked up at him. Oh, those eyes. I could get lost in them. They're so pretty...

"Baby Kitty?"

I blinked. "Huh?"

James laughed. "You okay?"

I nodded, a little afraid to speak. Who knows what I'd say? And that could be embarrassing.

He looked amused. "What's up?"

I shrugged. "Nothing much."

"Really? Then why do you seem so sad?"

"I'm thirteen. Aren't I supposed to be a moody teenager?"

"Yeah, but I don't think that's all it is." He eyed me. "Did someone hurt you?"

"Not really. I mean, well," I blushed. "It has to do with a guy."

James grinned again. "You have a crush on someone."

My blush darkened again. Stupid bodily reactions. Why was I cursed with this?

He frowned. "But wait...It's not a good thing, is it? You're upset about it. Does he not like you back?"

I blinked up at him. "I...umm...I don't really know. But I doubt it."

"Why? You're awesome."

"Well, yeah."

He laughed.

"But it's complicated."

He stared at me in amusement. "It's complicated? At thirteen?"

I nodded. "I never said he was thirteen..."

His eyebrows skyrocketed. "Whoa. Just how old is this boy?"

I looked down. "It's really not important. It's just a stupid crush. He's too old for me, and I know that. I'll get over it at some point." Hopefully.

James frowned again.

"Seriously, it's nothing to get worked up about," I told him.

"Okay...But do I at least get to know who he is?"

My eyes widened. "No!"

"Whoa, easy. Okay. I won't ask again."

I relaxed and got up. "I'm just gonna...go upstairs."

"But -"

I hightailed it up to my room. I closed the door, leaning against it, breathing heavily. Whew. I so do not need him to know that he's the one I'm crushing on. I closed my eyes, sighing. I was really hopeful that this would all just pass.

"So," Kendall said as we were eating dinner. "James said you have a crush on some older guy. Who is he?"

I groaned, banging my head on the table.

Mom chuckled and Dad looked slightly alarmed.

"Guy? What guy?" Dad wanted to know. "Who is he? I'll set him straight."

"Dad-dy," I whined. "There's no guy. Okay? It's just a stupid crush."

He looked at Mom. "Do you know who it is?"

She nodded.

"Who?"

"Sorry, can't say."

Kendall and Dad both gaped at her.

At least someone was on my side. Thank you, Mom.

"Why the hell not?" Dad wanted to know.

"Because I promised our daughter I wouldn't say anything to anyone," she responded. "Seriously, Kevin, it's not a big deal. It's just a little crush she's got and she's embarrassed about it. Leave it alone."

He sighed huffily, but relented. I know it was eating at him. I'm his little girl. And to him, when it comes to me, boys are evil.

Kendall looked at me sadly. "But we tell each other everything."

I patted his hand. "It's okay, big brother. It's not you. It's me. There's just some things that a girl can't divulge in with her brother."

He stared at me, baffled.

I giggled and pecked his cheek.

He smiled a little. "Fine. But you'll tell me someday, right?"

I smiled back and nodded. "Definitely."

That seemed to please him, and he went back to eating.

I shook my head. Oh, Kendork. Though he could get on my nerves at times, he was still the best big brother ever. And I wouldn't trade him for anything.

Okay...Well...There's chapter one. I have no idea how long this is going to go on for, or what's going to happen next...I'm kind of winging it. Terrible, I know. But it usually seems to work for me, so... :D I'm hopeful haha. Let me know what you think. And Science-Fantasy93, I really hope YOU liked this. Again, happy birfday! :)
