When I finally catch up to Ben, I hear him talking about the history of Auradon Prep.

"-and converted into a high school by my father when he became king."

"What do you want, didn't you see me talking?" I whisper, knowing that we have a few seconds until we reach that statue and he continues his speech.

"Don't you think that you were getting a bit too close?"

"Says the guy making googly eyes to a stranger in front of his girlfriend." He didn't have anything to say now, but later tonight I will make him talk. We finally reach beside a huge platinum statue which portrayed the king of Auradon. Ben then clapped twice, causing Carlos to screech and jump into Jay's arms. When Jay saw that I was staring at him he shoving Carlos off violently, not wanting to be embarrassed.

"Carlos, it's okay. My father wanted his statue to morph from beast to man, to remind us that anything is possible." The prince says with kind eyes. I swear, with his deep voice and kind heart, he is going to make guys turn gay, and not the happy gay either.

"Does he shed much?" I'm starting to like Mal more and more. Although, I thought the snarky comments to Ben were my thing.

"Yea, mom won't let him on the couch." And cue the secret cute yet awkward smiles between the future couple. Okay, so let me get this straight. You take me away from the only boy who has caught my interest, just to make me watch you flirt with his friend. If this isn't unfairness, I don't know what is. I stay back with Carlos, seeing that he clapped twice, thinking that the magic statue would change for him too.

"That won't work," Carlos looks at me, "Only someone of royal blood can change the statue." I walk on, now seeing Carlos following close behind. Pretty smart, seeing as he has no idea where he is.

" Oh, and here you go." My feet halt in the path for a moment while I pull a  handkerchief out of the air, a trail of blue dust trailing it for a moment. I jut out my hand in his direction, signaling for him to take it.

" ..." Carlos glances at me curiously, as if he was contemplating whether to take it or not.

" It won't bite you." While my left hand holds the handkerchief, my right creates a 'come here' gesture. He shuffles a bit closer until we were less than one meter apart. With that distance I lean forward and grab his chin, causing his feet to stumble towards me. Surprisingly, when I go to wipe his face and hands he doesn't squirm, but just lets me do it. Now, I normally am not like this, but whether it was because I visited the Isle of the Lost, or because Carlos was cute, in a friendly way, this is more or less me acting on impulse. "See, all done."

He gives me a toothy grin, "Thanks for that, and sorry for acting weird before. It's just I'm not used to someone being so nice and helping me willingly."

" It's really no problem," I try not to let the pity seep through my voice as I talk, " but we really should start going, I don't think that we are too far behind." After I say this we start to walk on, with him walking slightly closer to me than before.

We catch up just in time to hear Mal start talking as I move my way to the front again.

"So, you guys have a lot of magic here in Auradon? Like...wands and things like that?"

"Yea it exist of course, but it's pretty much retired except for a selected few like Gem here. Most of us here are just ordinary mortals" Ben replies, immediately putting me on the spot.
