Against All Odds

Ch. 6

We had been sitting there for about an hour with the boys, just laughing and having a great time, when a girl, maybe Rachel's age, walked up to Kendall. She grabbed his hand and announced in a very strange voice, "I'm takin' you back to Newark with me!"

Logan and I instantly burst out laughing. Kendall looked pretty freaked out, and then she tried to pull him over the table. Logan and I pulled him back, still laughing. Security escorted the girl out and she was yelling "No! Kendall! Tell them we're in love! Tell them to let me go!"

Kendall didn't say anything and the girl was pulled out by the security guards, crying. Logan and I were still laughing very hard. My stomach hurt so bad but I couldn't stop. By the way Logan was clutching his stomach, so I could tell he felt the same way.

"Guys! Stop laughing! It wasn't that funny!" Kendall said, still looking horrified.

"It was to that funny!" Logan yelled, making everyone in the room look at him super funny. A couple minutes later we finally stopped laughing. Then a little girl, maybe five or six years old, came up to the table.

"Hi," she said in a shy voice.

"Hi honey, what's your name?" Logan asked in a sweet voice.

"Ali," The little girl replied in a small voice.

"Well, Ali, how would you like an autograph?" He asked her.

A huge smile lit up the little girl's face and she nodded really fast. All the boys signed a picture and Logan handed it to her.

She thanked him and looked back and forth between me and Logan. Then she asked, "Is she your girlfriend?"

"Ali!" Her mother exclaimed.

"It's alright." Logan quickly said the mother, "She's not my girlfriend, Ali. She's more like a little sister." He told the little girl, while slinging an arm around my shoulder.

"Well, she's really pretty." She said looking at me and sounding shy again.

"Oh, well, thanks." I said looking at the table. I never get compliments, so this caught me off guard. I'm kind of insecure about my looks, I mean, when you have a sister as beautiful as Rachel, who wouldn't be? It felt really good to be told I was pretty every once in a while.

The boys signed autographs for about an hour more, before all the fans finally were gone. They all sighed in relief and started stretching their fingers when the last fan left. The store owner closed and locked the door and the boys got up and thanked him for letting them come to his store.

We left out the back entrance that we had come in and headed back to the car. The car ride back to Logan's house was pretty uneventful, besides the occasional outburst by Carlos.
