"Hey, thanks again for driving me home." Carlos said, after he exited the car. "It's no problem, really. My family doesn't mind. My mom thinks it's good for me anyways. I only really had one friend until you started talking to me." Carlos gave him a look of confusion.
"What? No way. Seb, you're like the most friendly person! How was Natalie Bagley you're only friend?" Seb sighed and said, "We'll. No body wanted to be my friend. People thought I was 'weird' and 'dumb'." Seb looked up to see Carlos' reaction. Carlos looked like someone had slapped him right and the face.
"What's wrong, 'Los? Are you ok?" Carlos looked at him like he had an extra eye. "'Los, you're really scaring me." Carlos shook his head in disbelief. "Sorry, I just can't think people thought you, Seb, one of the best people to exist, 'weird' and 'dumb' or whatever. I mean of course you're weird, but you're weird in a wonderful way." Carlos just smiled and they both blushed. After a minute Seb looked up and said, "Well, thanks, 'Los. That means a lot. I'll see you tomorrow?" Seb smiled and right as Carlos was about to say something, Seb cut him off.
"Yeah, see you-" "How about I drive you to school everyday? I could drive you home as well, but I'd probably get annoying." Carlos looked at him and Seb immediately started to apologize. "Carlos, I'm so sorry! I just thought that, well, your car is broken often, and we get along a lot so I figured-" Carlos started to giggle and Seb looked at him and grinned back. "Sebby, I would love to. It is nice having company. I do enjoy the mini-musicals we put on. So, yes. Just text me when you're on the way?" Seb smiled and nodded.
A few moments later, Seb watched Carlos walk into his house, as he started to turn his truck around to exit the long driveway.
——— The Next Day ———
Carlos woke up, and checked his phone to see Seb texting him.
❤︎Sebby: Hey, 'Los! What do you like on your coffee?
Carlos smiled to himself and replied quickly.
C: You're so thoughtful. Just so you know, it's a long list. I like having a the Double Ristretto Venti Half-Soy Nonfat Organic Chocolate Brownie Iced Vanilla Double-Shot Gingerbread Frappuccino Extra Hot With Foam Whipped Cream Upside Down Double Blended, One Sweet'N Low and One Nutrasweet, and Ice from Starbucks. Otherwise, I like 5 creamers and 3 sugars.
Carlos put his phone down as he walked into the bathroom to change.
——— 30 minutes later ———
❤︎Sebby: Hey! I'm here.
Carlos looked out his small window and saw Seb's pickup truck in the driveway. He immediately ran outside with his bag, and waved to Seb.
Carlos then opened the passenger door. "Hey, 'Los! How are you?" Seb smiled as he handed him his drink from Starbucks. "Thank you! I don't know what I would've done without this." Carlos then gasped. "Woah, 'Los, what's wrong?" Seb had looked worried. "This must've been expensive! I know how much starbucks coffee is, let alone this order!" Carlos immediately looks in his backpack for his wallet, when a hand, gently, touches his shoulder. "'Los. Don't worry about it. It's on the house! That can be your Christmas present. A whole year of free coffee." Carlos looked at him and smiled at him. He really was the best person on Earth.
——— 5 minutes before rehearsal ———
Seb looked up and saw Nini and E.J. fighting. He then heard a high pitched scream from the bomb shelter. Natalie has lost her hamster, so they were waiting outside.
"I need a minute." Natalie said storming off. "Did you find him?" Ashlynn asked. "No." Carlos said simply. "Then why were there screams?" Ashlynn asked, everyone now paying attention. "That was me. Someone stepped on my foot." Carlos looked around before calling everyone in.
——— After Rehearsal———
"Hey, Seb! You killed it today." Carlos has suddenly appeared next to him. "Oh, thanks. But, what about your moves? They were great too." Carlos then blushed out of embarrassment. "Oh- thanks- anyway, ready to go?" Seb nodded and pulled his keys out of his bag.
They both hopped into the car, and Seb asked Carlos a question. "Hey, 'Los?" Seb glanced over at him. "Yeah? What's up?" Seb was a bit embarrassed to ask him the question. "Do you think you could, maybe, uh, help me with the Bop to the Top choreo? I just can't get the moves down." Carlos immediately responded with a, "Sure!" And they planned to see each other at the bomb shelter, during free period.
After Seb dropped of Carlos, he went home and went upstairs to his room. After a while of working on the choreo for Bop to the Top, he took his shower and went to bed, dreaming about Carlos.
