Il libro di Jaylos

Our Secret

Jay had started dating Audrey two months after Ben's coronation. They were constantly flirting with each other, and he had started feeling something towards her. When he told this to Mal she suggested that he should ask her out on at least one date. So he did. They had gone to some fancy restaurant with food Jay could barely afford. Audrey had worn a tight pink dress and Evie forced Jay to wear a suit, which he argued hard on. In the end he had worn a suit with his red beanie. The date had gone surprisingly well, and they agreed to go on another date. The next week they decided they would start dating.

Carlos started dating Jane a month after Jay and Audrey announced they were dating. Carlos didn't really want to date Jane, but he needed to date a girl, because he wasn't ready to come out gay to the whole school. He wasn't even brave enough to ask Jane to be his cover up, he just asked her out and convinced her that he actually liked her. Did that make him a bad person? He didn't know. Sometimes he thought about telling her the truth, but he'd always convince himself not to. The relationship wasn't really that bad. He was happy enough and Jane was a nice person, so she was a good way to prepare himself to come out to the whole school.

Jay and Carlos' relationships with the girls did not hinder theirs which partially surprised Mal and Evie. Jay and Carlos were still attached at the hip. They were nearly always spotted together, whether it be at Auradon Prep or at the pizza place located five minutes outside the campus. They even went on double dates together every Saturday. Their girlfriends had no effect on their friendship. Jane and Audrey didn't mind at all, in fact they found it funny, and managed to joke about it.

"They're always so close, it's like they're boyfriends," Audrey laughed as she watched Jay pull Carlos into his body, both of them on their way to class.

"Right?" Jane laughed. That was something they always talked about. Jay always seemed so concerned about Carlos, as did Carlos about Jay. They thought it was sweet, and they also liked to use it against the boys to annoy them.

The first time they said something, Carlos nearly fell over and had a heart attack. He had to find Jay for a project for school, and he was literally nowhere. He was about to head back to their dorm when he spotted Jane and Audrey sitting together. If anyone knew where Jay was, it would be Audrey. He quickly ran up to the two and began spewing words. "Do you know where he is?"

"Who?" Jane questioned, confused.

"Oh, sorry. Jay. Do you know where he is?" Carlos jumped in his spot, breathing heavily. He had to find Jay like, yesterday.

"Oh your boyfriend?" Audrey smiled, and Jane chuckled lightly."He left campus to get food."

Carlos stilled upon hearing that one word: boyfriend. Had they found out he was gay? How did they find out? And wait, why would Audrey call Jay his boyfriend? What?

"Boyfriend?" Carlos stuttered out, eyebrows scrunched down in confusion. Audrey put her hand to her mouth as she laughed.

Jane perked up and answered Carlos. "It's a joke. Like Audrey and I noticed how you two are always together, and it's almost like you're dating. So we say you guys are boyfriends, like a joke, just because you are so close. It's funny."

Carlos was relieved that they hadn't found out he was gay, but he was still completely confused. He didn't realize him and Jay were that close. Sure, Jay knew a lot more about Carlos then his own girlfriend did, but they weren't that close were they? And how was the joke supposed to be funny? He didn't understand.

"Oh," Carlos responded lamely. "Have you told Jay the joke?"

"Nah, not yet."

"Okay, well I'm gonna go find J..my boyfriend," He forced out a chuckle, and Jane and Audrey responded by laughing.
