Ignored by everyone but one

chapter 2

Just a warning, it's a monster of a chapter, sit tight!

We've been in Auradon a week now. I mean, it's been ok. If you ignore the muttered and not-so-muttered comments about us being from the Isle and me and Jay apparently being gay for each other.

Me and Jay both made it on to the Tourney team and we are doing well. We don't even need to communicate to each other where we are, we just know. That comes from years of pickpocketing on the streets though. It's our first game today and our practises have been going well so Coach expects us to do well and win the game. Not everyone does. Having three islander's on the team is very controversial to most Auradonians. What would be even more controversial is me being a girl, except no-one, bar Jay and Carlos and Mal and Evie, know that.

Oh yh, I forgot to say. We have a plan to steal the wand now. We found out that the wand is used during coronation, so we made a love potion last night and Mal's going to give it to Prince Ben before the big game. You see, Ben's partner gets to sit up the front near Fairy Godmother during Ben's coronation. Mal and I had an argument over who should give it to him and therefore have to date him. The deciding factor was Evie suggesting me then Jay going all protective, "The whole school thinks we are dating though." He protested, causing Evie and Mal smirked at me. Mal huffs, "Fine." So that's how we finalised our plan.

As our group walks to the outside lockers, where Mal and Ben's lockers are, me and Jay are play fighting and Evie keeps nudging Carlos and then the pair of them smile sweetly at us. I give them the middle finger jokingly and Jay took that opportunity to taser me and make my knees buckle. I caught myself and elbowed him, "I hate you." I muttered, he laughed, "I got ya!" I crossed my arms, "Rude." He smirked and then went off to flirt, him being the jock he is now. The girls still have the audacity to flirt with him despite the fact they think we are dating. I don't get their logic. Carlos puts his head on my shoulder as Evie put her hand on my other shoulder. "Jealous?" Carlos teases I roll my eyes, "Why would I be?" I scoff, "Because, dearest sister, you have had the fattest crush on him since forever and he's had one on you the same length of time." I roll my eyes, "I haven't and I don't. We are literally like brother and sister. But why are the girls still flirting with him if they think he's taken?" I point out, "Not jealous huh?" Evie laughs, "I'm not! They probably think they can make him straight. I mean he is but yanno?" Carlos smirks, "C'mon, we have to go get ready for the match." I nod, "Ok cool." We head off and I hear Ben singing behind us and Jay dragging him off and catching up with us, which means we now suffer him rabbiting on endlessly about how Mal looks. "I've known her for a good amount of time. I know what she looks like." I eventually snap out, tired of him and walk off, grabbing my stuff from my locker, snapping it shut and going into a cubicle to change. I obviously won't get changed on front of boys, well Carlos and Jay, I wouldn't mind, but not any of the others, plus I'd get kicked out the team because they would realise I am a girl.

Once dressed, I head out to warm up and then after that Coach gives us a pep talk then we head back to dressing rooms for the 5 minutes left before the game. Carlos and Jay drag me to the side, "What?!" I ask them, confused, "Stay safe. If anyone hurts you, you tell me." Carlos says protectively, "I'll be fine. And I don't need babying. I love you brother, but I'll be fine." Carlos nods and Jay nods, "If anyone hurts you, I'll hurt them." I laugh, "I'll be fine, but thanks. And same goes for you." He rolls his eyes, "I'll be fine." He says, mimicking me. I shove his shoulder and us three share a brief hug then a fist bump.

We then walk out onto pitch, me Carlos and Jay are subs until a few minutes near the end where its a nail biting draw. The coach then subs me and Jay on and we convince him to put Carlos on too.
