Sudden Feelings | Marlos

Chapter 8

"I'm a little skeptical though." She said, as Carlos raised an eyebrow. "I think she knows more than what she's saying."

Carlos nodded, agreeing with her. "You sure you want to find out?"

"Carlos, I'll be fine. Don't worry so much."

"I worry because you are my best friend." Mal smiled, as Carlos went to check on Dude.

While she was alone, Mal made a couple of truth gummies, just in case. She knew that Audrey and Carlos know more than they are letting on.

She put them away as he came back in. "Wanna hangout with the others?" Mal nodded to his question.

They left to find Evie and Jay, who were in Jay and Carlos' dorm talking. "We have to do this. I know it seems weird, but it's true. You've seen it for yourself, Jay."

"I agree. To be honest, They would be better together."

Carlos looked at Mal, who just knocked. They ignored what their friends were talking about.

"What's up, guys?" Mal said, looking from Evie to Jay.

"Not much." Evie said, who seemed to be searching for some indication that Mal likes Carlos as the purple haired daughter of Maleficent and white haired son of Cruella De Vil looked at each other before turning back to the princess after a second.

Mal scoffed. "Yeah, right. Anyways, we were just wondering if you wanted to hangout."

They nodded as Dude got down from the bed and went up to Mal. "Can you give me some bacon?" He said, wagging his tail.

"How can you still talk?" Mal asked, confused, tilting her head.

"I don't know, but I want some bacon or something." Mal laughed at Carlos's dog.

"I'll get some for you, Dude." She petted him.

"Okay. I'm just gonna say this and I need you to listen, Mal." Dude said, as she raised an eyebrow.

"Just deal with it. The sooner you do, you less you have to worry."

"What are you talking about?" Mal asked, confused.

"You know what I'm talking about." He said, "Just tell him the truth. It's not that difficult."

"Ok. I'm lost now."

"Oh my god. Mal, you're seriously going to act like you don't know. Evie, Jay and I see it. The only person who doesn't is Carlos and even though you know it, you won't admit it."

"Dude," Mal said, glaring at him, but the dog wasn't scared since she's not Cruella.

"What? I'm just telling you and Carlos what Evie and Jay already know."

"What would that be?" Dude got back up on the bed, so he could look at Mal better.

He smiled. "Do you really want me to say it?"

"No," Mal said. "because it's not true." She turned to leave, muttering, "I'm arguing with a dog. Geez. My life is weird."

Dude smiled at how Carlos looked at Mal before he said, "You can't hide from it forever, Mal and you know it."

"Whatever." She said, under her breath.

"You like Carlos as more than a friend." Dude's statement made Carlos turn to Mal in shock and her slamming the door as she left. She ran to the enchanted lake.

Carlos just stared at Dude before he shook his head and looked at his two best friends in the room.

Evie and Jay nodded, confirming it.

What do you think will happen next? What do you want to see?
