Him

Chapter 3: Confusion

~ Jay ~

"Guys, guys! You will not believe, what I just saw." 

"What did you see Jay?" Mal said unenthusiastically not even looking up from picking at her nails. 

"Well if you would look at me then maybe I would show you!" She sighs. 

"Fine Jay. But I bet my best piece of clothing what you're going to show me is another-" Mal gasps. "Whoa. Are you sure this is real?" 

"Yes, yes I'm sure! I saw it with my own eyes!" 

"Eves," Mal says while not looking away from the picture.

"Yeah, Mal?" Evie asked while fixing her makeup.

"Uhh, you might wanna come and look at this." 

"Okay, one second." 

"That's too long to wait for you to see this." 

"Well if it's that important." 

"Oh trust me, Evie, it is." While they were waiting for Evie, Mal asked Jay, "Where exactly did you get that camera anyways? We're on the Isle and you managed to get that?" 

"I found it in the trash. There was a scratched out name but I couldn't' tell whose it was." 

"Okay, what is it that you wanted me to-" There was a long pause and no-one knew what she was thinking. And then, she fainted. 

"Mal, I'm gonna need for you to handle that. I gotta go and see what happened with Carlos and Claire." 

"But-" 

"Bye!"

"Hey, guys, what's goin' on?"

"Umm, nothing." Claire sniffled. "I was just leaving. Bye Jay." You could tell she was lying because she wiped away her tears when I came in. "Tell Evie I said I'll bring the dress back later today."

Her makeup looked weird. I don't get it. Villains don't cry. Especially not like that or around friends. And the C twins are best friends. It's even more strange that Carlos was crying too. UGH! I have absolutely no idea how to handle this situation.

I might have to be really gentle and careful. Here goes nothing. "Uhh, hey, Carlos. What's goin' on with you?"

"Nothing."

"Uhh, are you sure bud? You seem like you're crying and-"

"I said nothing's wrong Jay! Can you just, go and leave me alone for once."

"Yeah, sure. No problem." The conversation worked out better than he thought it would. Now he has got to go check on Evie and Claire.
