Chapter 1: Coming Back Home

It was 6 A.M and Logan Mitchell was wide awake, he couldn't sleep thinking about the new school. It's never easy be the "new kid" but he was hoping that he could find some of his old friends and be the "back to hometown kid". He used to live in Minessota until he was 5 then his father and him moved to L.A. for something he actually never knew and, honestly, never cared as he had a good life there. But now, coming back to Minessota, it was like the world was laughing at him and he was stuck in this small town forever. Yeah he hated this place.

Logan made some breakfast and left before his father was awake. He got in his car and drove around the city that he grew up in. He saw the playground he used to play in with other kids, the park where he spent family time and finally went to where his mother was now. He got out of the car and went through some trees and stopped in front of a big stone that said "Joanna Mitchell".

"Hey Mom, it's been a long time huh? Now we're back in town and I honestly don't know if I wanna be here, it makes me remember you and how life was better when you were around." Logan couldn't help but feel a tear coming down his cheeks. " So, dad should be here soon, he probably won't say it, but he miss you a lot and all this time in L.A. he hasn't dated anyone and I really wish he could find someone since... well you're not coming back." He stared at the gravestone and put some flowers in front of it and cleaned his face. " Anyway, today's the first day of school and I have to go. I love you and miss you mom."

He made his way out of the cemetary, back to the car and drove to the place he was kinda excited to be, school. It wasn't like he was a freak but it was the place he felt good. He wanted to be a doctor and his grades needed to be perfect, like they were. When he parked his convertible he got a few stares from other students and being the clumsy person he was, he obviously bumped into another person just as he walked in the building.

"Sorry." Logan said, not wanting to be rude on his first day.

"It's okay, I was distracted and all. Take care." A latino boy answered and Logan couldn't help but feel like he had seen this guy somewhere, but he didn't have any time to think of because said boy turned around. "Hey, your name is not Logan, is it?"

"Actually, it is. How did you know?" He just thought about theories of all the students getting together for a big prank on the new guy but he dropped when the other boy gave the biggest smile he had ever seen in his whole life.

"Oh my god, I can't believe you're back. I'm Carlos, we used to play all day and night when we were little kids. Dude where were you? You never said goodbye and my parents..." The energic boy stopped for a second. "Oh my god my parents are gonna be so happy you came back, you and your father are so coming over to dinner this week." He stopped when he saw Logan's face. "Why do you look so scared?"

"Oh, sorry, I'm not. It's just that I'm glad I found you. You know being the new kid in school is hard right?" He tried to say it honestly but he was scared that someone else cared for him. Back in L.A. he had a great time but wasn't like he had many friends.

"Don't worry, I'll show you around and show you my friends. You won't be alone here, I mean if I left you, my parents would probably kick me out of the house. Let me take you to the principal's office so he can welcome you and shit."

"Thanks Carlos." Logan promised himself that he would try to make things different and making a friend is the first step. " So, how are your parents?"

"Papi is still a cop and Mom is still a lawyer, oh and now my cousin lives with me. I don't think you actually met him but you will, he is a senior and popular and shit like that. Anyway, we're here, go in there, I'll wait here." The latino boy said in front of a door that had a sign that said "Principal Rocque".

Logan chuckled at the last name and knocked twice at the door, hearing a voice saying to come in. He entered the room and saw a big man in a suit sitting in a chair smiling, but looking a little scary. He motioned to a chair in front of him and Logan sit there, feeling kinda nervous.

"Mr. Mitchell, we're glad to have you here in Palm Woods High School, we hope you make yourself confortable here." The man said, trying to look nice, but Logan couldn't help but feel like he was going to scream at him anytime.

"I will sir, hm, so where do I get my schedule?" He tried being polite but he wanted to get out of there in 3 seconds before the man in front of him exploded.

"Right here." The principal said handing the boy a paper." Do you want me to find someone to help you with your classes?"

"No it's ok, I found an old friend and he can help me. Thank you sir." The pale boy said getting up.

"Take care Logan, keep your grades up there and don't hesitate to ask me anything."

Logan got out of the office to find Carlos talking with a brunette girl. She was beautiful and Logan was kinda shy to approach both of them, since they were having a happy talk and all of that, but he needed Carlos' help.

"Oh hey Logan, this is Camille Roberts." Carlos said, introducing the girl next to him.

"Nice to meet you, Carlos was just talking about you." The girl said, hugging Logan, which made him feel a little bit awkward.

"Nice to meet you too, uh, could you guys help me find my classes?" Logan asked blushing a little from the hug.

"Let me see." Carlos took the paper from Logan's hand. "You have English with Camille now, and History with me later. So after class I can take you to Calculus. "As if on cue the bell rang. "Well, I'm going the other way, so Camille take care of Logie boy here."

"Fine." She said, taking Logan by the arm and through the hallway that was so full of people. "So Logan, I'm guessing you're a Junior too?"

"Yeah, next year is my last year."

"Cool, we'll all graduate together. Carlos said you moved from here when you were a kid, where did you go?"

"My father and I went to L.A. and I've been there since then." Logan almost fell when the girl next to him stopped abruptly.

"L.A.? SHUT UP. THAT'S MY DREAM!" She stopped screaming when she noticed a few students staring at them and Logan blushing a little. "I want to be an actress and I plan on going there, living the dream and make it work you know? Here's our class, Mr. Harris is a pain in the ass so he will introduce you." She said, taking him inside of the class.

"A little late Ms. Roberts?" A man with a grey comb-over (obviously trying to hide his bald head) asked while cleaning the board.

"Sorry, I was showing around Logan, it won't happen again sir, divine mister Harris sir."

"Go sit and you," He pointed to Logan, "come here." The boy stood next to the teacher who turned him to the rest of the class. "This is Logan Mitchell, you better treat him right. Go sit next to Roberts." he said while Logan just stood there staring at this other student with hazel eyes and hair, his bangs were perfectly in place and Logan stopped when the boy locked eyes with him. He was the most beautiful boy Logan had ever seen and he just snapped from the trance when he heard a voice next to him. "Mitchell are you deaf? Go sit with Roberts."

"Ok sorry." He answered, blushing a lot when he passed the boy. When he sat and looked at Camille he saw the stupid grin on her face.

"Soooooooooooooooooo, you already found a crush huh? "She whispered so only he could hear, grinning.

"What? Where? Who? I don't know what you're talking about." He said, trying to ignore her and pay attention to the class.

"Since you don't know, he is James Diamond, a jock." She saw Logan clench his jaw when she said his name. "And bi." And more blush. " And he checked you out when you passed him."

"What? Really?" Logan finally lost it and Camille bit her lips so she didn't laughed as loud as she wanted.

"Well he stared at you back I can tell that, but let me tell you, he is a man whore. He's slept with 99% of this school." She saw Logan blush a little more and instantly knew what he was thinking. "Don't worry, everyone thought you were scared of the attention and I don't care you're gay."

"I could be bi." He said giving her an annoyed look.

"Oh please, I have the best gaydar ever. " She said giving him a warm smile, and he could feel they would be great friends.

For the rest of the class, Logan stared at James and Camille kicked him to get his attention during class and soon it was over. He was ready to leave the room when he felt eyes on him and he turned around to see James staring at him. There was something about this boy that was so familiar but he didn't know what, and his eyes, it was like Logan did something to him which is ridculous since he doesn't even know him. Camille dragged him through the hallway, saying something he wasn't paying attention to and then there was another voice and he looked at her to see Carlos was there.

"Hey Carlos." Logan said being as friendly as he could.

"You already said hi, what are you daydreaming of dude?" He replied with a smirk.

"Nothing, just thinking about moving and everything." He said with a smile.

"Yeah right, sounds more like 'how would it be like to feel James Diamond moving inside me'. " Camille said laughing at how Logan blushed at the comment.

"Wait what?" Carlos stared with open eyes and jaw.

"He's got a crush on the Diamond boy."

"Oh my God..." Logan was scared that Carlos was going to kick his ass or punch him. Camille was cool but what if Carlos was a homophobe. "You are so in our group." And Carlos was laughing just as much as Camille.

"Ok, you two can stop laughing and act like normal human beings and tell me what the fuck are you two laughing at." Logan was getting a little annoyed, being out of the joke, and he really didn't want things to feel like L.A. again.

"Well, Camille here has a crush on Dak Zevon, who is the sluttiest of them all. And I got a crush on Kendall Knight, the perfect one."

"He has trouble with his anger." Camille interrupted.

"And how does any of this relate to James?" He couldn't help but feel like saying his name was right, natural even. And he blushed again thinking that.

"God you really are into him..." Carlos said, earning a punch on his arm. "Ok, they are like Best Friends and now we have someone with a crush on James to complete the circle."

"You two need therapy, you know that right?" Logan asked rolling his eyes when both answered at the same time.

"Yeah."

"Ok, why do you look like you're about to kill someone?"

"Wait. Get out of here you two shitheads." The guy with dark hair and blue eyes said. "Go ahead James, we have privacy."

"Yeah, you know that new guy?" James said to the other two, who only nodded. "We have to destroy him."

"What? Why? " The blonde one said, not understanding.

"Shut up Kendall, let's do it." The blue-eyed one replied.

"No, the boy just came here and he looks like he's gonna break at any second. If we do anything to him, he'll probably break down. And stop with the bullying act Dak, we know you don't like to hurt people." Kendall said getting angrier.

"Kendall, I know you're all into helping people and all, and I'm in. But this is Mitchell, and I need to do it. Please, help me." James said, with the saddest look he ever gave to Kendall.

"Mitchell? As in The Mitchell?" Dak was the one to question the name and Kendall remembered where he had heard the name when James just nodded.

"Look, Jay, it's not his fault ok? It was his father's fault, so don't do anything you'll regret. Please." Kendal asked, trying to calm James.

"Fine, I'll do it myself. No Dak, you can't fuck him and dump him. Since he is friends with Carlos we're not allowed to do anything to him. I'll just have to act and you're the only ones who will know, so shut up and don't get in my way." The pretty boy said, getting out of the bathroom.

"So... he falls in love or Damon finds out? What comes first?" Dak asked amused.

"Guess we'll wait and see. And if becomes too serious, we intervene for both of them ok?"

"Sure."
