Carlos pov:
Harry always zoned out in class, he refused to tell FGM so he ended up having detention almost everyday.
I wasn't quite happy how things went with tourney, sure Harry aas good at it... But he got blasted with that canon thingy in the 'death zone' of the field last time...
I told him to go see a doctor just in case but he refused.
"I'm fine Carlos." he said during lunchbreak and I snapped.
"No you're not! And stop pretending that you are! I know what's going on already so stop f*cking lying to me!"
"Jeez, what's going on?" Gil asked as he and Uma walked to us.
"I never heared Carlos curse before." Uma mumbled.
"Nothing is going on!" Harry said with panick over his face.
"Liar." I sissed and he looked at me.
"Carlos, don't."
"Okay, just spit it out. What's going on?" Uma said and I looked at Harry before turning to Uma.
"I can't tell you... yet." I said and I grabbed Harry's hand as I draged him along.

"You left your phone last night in or dorm when you went to the bathroom." I said.
"So? Why would I take it with me when I go to pee?"
"That's not the point. The hospital called you about this trial treatment and surgery. Thy said they might be-"
"Be able to help, I know... They called me a couple days ago as well."
I got pissed and I grabbed his collar.
"If you want me to keep this between us, you can't keep secrets from me!"
"Okay, okay... sorry..."
"Harry, they might be able to fix your BD."
"I know... But brainsurgery, really? I..."
"I swear if this is because you'd have to shave your head I-"
"It's not that... I mean kinda but... I'm scared okay? The odds are too small. There's a big chance they'd only increase the damage. I don't want that!"
"Harry, if you'll do nothing about it; it will increase either way!"
"Carlos. I'm not doing it."
"Why not?"
"Just because. That's why I didn't tell you, because I know you wouldn't agree with me."
"You can't hide it from the others forever. Might as well be honest with them. We just lied straight into Uma and Gil their faces!"
"I know okay?! I just can't tell them. They'd act differently around me!"
"Like that's one of your biggest concerns right now!"
"Look, I'll tell them okay... But I'm not doing that surgery."
"When are you telling them?"
"Friday. Then I got two days to figure out how to tell and explain them."

But Mal, Carlos, Jay, Uma and Gil had other plans.
They came to me after Hary left for detention and I swallowed.
"Oh sugar honey ice tea..."
"Carlos, what's going on with Harry!?" Uma barked.
"We know something's been up with you to." Mal said.
"Besides the fact that you two are dating." Jay said.
"Maybe we can help?" Gil said and Evie looked at me.
"We're worried Carlos..."
Then I snapped.
"He has braindamage okay?!"
Everyone looked at me in shock and I told them everything I knew.
Yes, I felt bad for breaking my promise but come on! Bear with me!
