Natalie

James and I were currently up in my apartment rehearsing the lines for my made up boyfriend, Travis. I said I'd pay this guy to portray a fake boyfriend to drive off Kendall for the time being, and he agreed to it. I was surprised that James offered to help me, minus the fact that he's one of Kendall's best friends.

"As good looking as this guy is, I could've portrayed your fake boyfriend." James scoffed, checking himself out in the mirror. I snorted at his smart remark.

"One, you're Kendall's best friend, so that wouldn't work. Two, he would easily recognize you. And three, you're obsessed with any thing that has to do with you. No offense." Just as I said the last sentence, a loud gasp came from James' mouth. I raised my hands up in defense to show him that I meant what I said.

I had texted Kendall and told him that 'Travis' was here and the he could meet him. James hid behind the counter while I stood fairly close to the guy that I didn't even know his real name. Seconds later, a knock sounded on the door and I let him in, keeping my composure. Kendall noticed the guy rather quickly, which I didn't like one bit.

"Hey, Trevor right?" My eyes widened as I looked over at the both of them. 'Travis' nodded, but it was until then that I smacked him in the chest. "No, Travis. Wait, Trevor. Uh—" I cut him off and started speaking.

"It's Travis! Ugh!" I threw my hands down in defeat as I pushed the guy out in the hall. I turned around to be faced with a crossed armed Kendall staring at me. I closed my eyes and let out a sigh, knowing he caught me in the lie more quickly than I had expected him too.

"Don't you think you could've been honest with me?" My eyes snapped open at Kendall's choice of words.

"Don't you think that you could've been a little nicer after you called me out?" I snapped back at him, letting my emotions take over. Kendall took another step closer to me, causing my breathing to stop short for a second before going back to normal.

"Well, quite frankly, I don't want to date a girl who lied to me about having a boyfriend."

"Well maybe I don't want to date a guy who catches me in a lie." I admitted, my eyes staying locked with his.

"I guess we're done here." Kendall walked straight to the door, then faced me again.

"I guess we are." I said back, watching as he closed the door and left. Less than five seconds later, my feet carried me back to the door just as it opened, revealing Kendall again.

"Would you want to go the movies sometime?" He asked, hands in his pockets. I smiled, looking at him.

"I'd like that." I breathed out, saying bye to him and closing the door. James popped up from the counter, scaring the living crap out of me. "Jesus Christ James! I forgot you were here." My hand was slapped across my chest, moving very quickly due to James scaring me.

"Well that went very well." He referred to mine and Kendall's minor argument. I shot him a death glare, indicating that it wasn't funny knowing That I could've showed everyone my true colors with my temper. I have to try to keep my temper hidden inside me, because once that comes out to surprise people, no ones going to think the same of me anymore. I'll be a whole different Natalie. And I don't want that. Not with Kendall. Not with Jo. Not with anyone for that matter.

I built up one single wall to keep that temper well closed inside, and for anyone to break it down, I can't bear the thought of changing my whole impression to that one person who tore the wall down. And if that person ended up being Kendall, I wouldn't know what would happen then because it hasn't happened, and it won't happen. As long as he's on my good side, we're fine.
