Fire N' Gold ~Benlos~

Ideas

You guys are crazy! I didn't even have a chance to thank you for 500 because by the time I realized it I was over 600! You guys are the best!

~Carlos POV~

The last time I saw Ben was yesterday when he had his break down. I comforted him almost the exact same way he did when he tried to introduce me to Dude and I felt bad for him. Jay was still kind of upset with him for approaching me the way he did but, me not so much. I mean he is right, I did kind of mess with his life. Because of me, he's failing all, if not, most of his classes, and he doesn't even have Audrey. I guess she can't get over how he dumped her randomly.

"Hey," Evie says nudging me in the arm, bringing me back to reality. "Where did you just go?" she asks with a small smile and I shrug.

"Just thinking about some things," I respond. We were in our second period and it was work time. Evie and I were the only ones of us four to have this class and I guess right now I'm kinda thankful for that. Other wise Mal would be going on and on about the plan and the coronation, which is in two days.

"What kind of things?" She says, curiosity filling her voice and I smile. Sometimes you just can't be serious around Evie.

"I don't know, just everything since we got here." She looked at me confused and I sigh. "Haven't you noticed how ever since we got here, the only things that led to something bad was because of the plan," I whisper and she looks at the table, I guess thinking about what I was saying.

The bell rang and we got our stuff together and walked into the hallway. After a lot of walking, we finally met up with Jay and Mal.

"Finally! What took you two so long?!" Mal asked hectically and we both shrugged. "Okay, fine, whatever! We need to hurry up, the coronation is this Saturday and we need a plan by then." Mal said, clearly frustrated. For a moment it seemed like she started caring about something other than the plan, but I guess not anymore. We all started walking towards Evie and Mal's room to go think of another plan.

"Hey, Carlos!" I hear someone yell and we all stop and turn around. It was Ben! My heart began to beat quickly and my palms became slightly sweaty. "Can I talk to you for a second?" he asks and I nodded and turned back to the other three.

"I'll meet you guys there," I tell them and they nod and walk to the room. I turn back to Ben and notice how there was a pretty good distance between us and I give him a confused look and I guess he just ignores it.

"I have no idea what's been going on in Auradon History class. These last two weeks have been... fuzzy on the education side. And I know you have a really good grade in that class, so I was wondering if you wouldn't mind helping me study." He asks I could tell he was nervous. I guess he felt kinda awkward about everything, he did tell me that we should stay out of each other's way, then yelled at me that it was my fault his life was messed up, then cried into my arms.

I would feel awkward too.

"Yeah, sure! When did you want to start?!" I ask and his face lights up.

"Okay great! Thank you! Does today work? I could really use it soon with that big test coming up!" He asks excitedly and I smile.

"Yeah, just give me a couple of hours and we can start," I say and he nods and I start to walk away but then he grabs my arm.

"Thank you." He says with the small smile and I give him a reassuring nod and go meet up with the others.

~After a couple of hours~

"Okay, so it's settled. On the day of the Coronation, we knock everyone out with this magical sleeping gas and we take the wand and book it back to the Isle." Mal says, her voice finally sounding stress-free and we all nodded.
