And so, just like most things I become obsessed with, I've decided to write a Descendants fanfic. I ship Carvie so hard! You wanna know why? Read the first book (and Carlos is freaking adorable!). Please let me know what you think about this first chapter.

Chapter One

It was the summer before college, and all Evie wanted was a summer romance.

Doug had been fun and sweet, but a little insecure. They were together for six months before Evie made the decision to end the relationship. It had ended amicable and Evie had even set up Doug on a date with Snow White's daughter, Rose. The two of them were still going strong to this day and Evie was happy for them.

However, she was still single and had been since the breakup.

Evie wanted a boyfriend, though it went against everything she had learned about herself. She didn't need others to value her on looks alone, but it had been over a year since the breakup and all she wanted was for someone to hold her hand. And maybe someone to cuddle with while watching a movie. Someone to feel close to, if only for a few months.

That wasn't too much to ask for...was it?

There were several candidates for a summer fling at Auradon Prep(some were even princes!) but none of them seemed right to Evie. She didn't need tall, dark and handsome to make her happy. No, she wanted someone average height, white-haired and smart.

Sitting up with a start, Evie's daydreams effectively ended with that thought.

No, not him.

Definitely not him. That would be silly. They were friends. Good friends. The best of friends (friends being the key word here). They had gone through so much together, even before coming to Auradon. They'd been each other's first friend back on the isle. She had been the first person to show Carlos kindness and he'd been the first to see past her pretty face, to face the real Evie behind it.

Yeah, she so had not been thinking about him like that.

Plus, all she wanted was to have a summer romance. Those didn't last once college started in the Fall and if she was with him, she'd want it to last fore-

What?

Okay, what was wrong with her. She needed some fresh air. Now.

Swinging her legs from the bed, in the room she shared with Mal, and where she had been daydreaming all afternoon, Evie grabbed her phone and key before making her way to the door.

Pushing the door open, she was glad to see the halls of the school empty. Honestly, she wasn't surprised. Most of the students went back to their families for the summer. For her, that hadn't been an option.

No, that wasn't true. Evie was with her family. Mal, Carlos and Jay were her family, now.

Shutting the door behind her and moving down the carpeted hallway, Evie reveled in the silence. Feeling more like herself as she walked, she relaxed. Until she turned a corner and ran into someone. Not just any someone. It was the same someone who had made her seek the fresh air.

"Oh! Hey, Evie." The white-haired young man greeted with a wave.

Over the past year and a half, Carlos had grown a few inches and was now past her height. He'd gotten a little more built, since he played on the R.O.A.R team with Jay still. The only thing that hadn't changed about his appearance was his hair and his freckles. Which Evie didn't mind. She loved those freckles.

Ugh!

"Hey, Carlos. Thought you'd be holed up with Jay in your room playing video games, like you said you planned on doing all summer." She was looking for the easiest way to escape her friend without looking rude (she'd come a long way since her villian days).

Carlos rolled his brown eyes. "Jay got a call from Lonnie. She wanted to know if he'd like to spend a few weeks with her and her family. Needless to say, he started packing immediately."

She laughed, thinking about her other male friend. It had taken him months to even admit he had feelings for Mulan's daughter. "The self-proclaimed ladies man has found himself whipped."

"Definitely." He shoved one hand in the pocket of his white and black pants. "So, where were you heading?"

Evie's heart sank. So much for escaping. "Just outside. I needed some air."

"I should probably get some, too. So, I'll come with."

"O-Okay."

Casually, and like he'd done a hundred times before to her and Mal, Carlos slung an arm around Evie's shoulders as they walked. It was much easier for him to do, now that he was taller. However, it was the last thing Evie wanted him to do at the moment. She couldn't shrug him off, though. It would definitely set him off to something being wrong.

"So, future greatest fashion designer in the world, what are your plans for this summer before heading off to make clothes for other people for a living."

She elbowed him. "You make it sound like a bad thing, and what about you? You plan on making gadgets for other people for a living. They'll wear what I'll make and use what you will."

"Touche."

Evie grinned smugly and flipped blue curls over her shoulder.

Finally, they navigated the halls of the school and found themselves blinking in the bright sunlight of Auradon. It hadn't taken the four villian kids to get used to the nice weather. The weather on the Isle had been fickle. Most days, it would be exactly what one would expect on an island for villains. Gloomy and rainy.

"You never answered my question earlier," Carlos said as he led them to one of the nearest stone benches on the grounds. His arm slid from her shoulders as they took a seat. (Evie forced down the feeling of loss).

Her heart pounded as they turned to face one another.

What was wrong with her?

Just yesterday, she'd been flicking pepperoni at him as the four of them hung out, eating pizza, in her and Mal's room. Certainly, a crush shouldn't hit her this hard and fast.

Unless, Evie had always had one on him.

Deep down, she knew she had.

"I really don't have anything planned," she finally answered. "Besides hanging out with you guys and sketching some new designs. You?"

"Since Jay is going to be with Lonnie for a few weeks, and Mal is with Ben for most of the summer touring Auradon, it's just going to be the two of us for awhile. So, my plans for the summer were to spend most of it with you."

Evie's mouth went dry. "W-What about Jane?"

"What about her?" He asked, looking at her oddly. "We broke up awhile ago. You know this. Now, she's spending time with her mother as they vacation with Cinderella and her family."

"I thought you two were talking about getting back together."

"Yeah, a few months ago. We decided against it because we'll be going to different Universities in the fall."

"We will be, too," she blurted before she could even think about what she was saying and how Carlos would take it.

"So are Mal and Jay. We'll always stick together, though. I'm not afraid of losing touch."

"Good," Evie said, her voice sounding a little shaky and weak.

Fortunately, Carlos hadn't seemed to notice. Instead, he sat next to her and fidgeted a little on the bench, and then, his knee was pressing against hers. Just like that, they were touching again. "Did you want Jane and I to get back together?" His head was cocked a little, as if he was trying to read her.

"Well, yeah. If that was what you wanted. I want you to be happy." Normally, she would have reached over to give his hand a friendly squeeze, but with her current conflicting feelings, she held it back.

"It's not. I liked being with Jane, but it just wasn't meant to be. She wasn't my happily ever after and I wasn't hers. Both of us were okay with that."

"Oh." That was how it had been with her and Doug.

Jane and Doug had been with them in those few months when they had been finally figuring out that just because their parents were evil, didn't mean they were. Now, they were different people.

Together, they sat in silence for awhile. Evie acted as if she was enjoying the scenery, like she hadn't seen it a hundred times before. Beside her, Carlos continued to fidget, a habit he'd had since the Isle (All because of his mother, who would lash out at him at any given moment).

Finally, someone spoke.

"There was, um, there was something else I wanted to ask you, earlier." It was Carlos, and he looked nervous. "It was why I was coming to your room." He almost seemed to be vibrating in his seat now, he was fidgeting so much.

"What is it?" Curious, she momentarily forgot about her inner crisis.

"Is it okay if I try something? Uh, and if it works, can we try something?"

"What?" She was getting confused.

"This."

It happened in slow motion. Well, to Evie it did. As she watched Carlos move closer, she could have pulled away or told him to stop. But she didn't. The moment his hand curled into her blue curls, she was lost in the moment. It had been a long since she'd been kissed, and Carlos kiss felt absolutely wonderful.

It was like she was Sleeping Beauty and Carlos was kissing her awake.

Cheesy, she knew. But her blood raced and she felt alive.

The kiss lasted for a few seconds more before Carlos pulled away. His hand remained in her hair. She started sucking in air while it seemed as if Carlos was holding his. They didn't speak for a moment, eyes wide and mouths red.

"Was that...okay?" Carlos asked, uncertain. His thumb was moving back and forth on the base of her neck and Evie had to tear her mind from it.

All she could do was nod.

Carlos's mouth quirked in an adorable smile. "I thought since it was just going to be us for awhile, we could try something different. You know, for the summer." His cheeks grew red as he spoke.

Was she dreaming? She asked herself.

When pinching herself resulted in pain, she knew she wasn't and couldn't hold back the smile. "Sure," she answered, feeling like she was floating on Cloud Nine, like she was walking on air, like- Wait? "Just for the summer?"

And just like that, she deflated. She came back to Earth and felt heavy.

"Yeah." He took his hand away and looked shy. "I just wanted to best this summer with someone and the first person I thought of was you. Afterwards, when we go off to college, we can just be friends again and things will be back to normal."

Evie's heart was crushed. Things would never go back to normal. Not for her. But she swallowed her hurt feelings and beamed a smile. "Okay. Let's try being a couple. Just for the summer." The words almost physically hurt to say.

It was true what they said to be careful what you wished for.

Evie had wanted a summer romance, a little fling with someone. But just a summer with Carlos wouldn't be enough.

No where near it.

I like Jane/Carlos and I like Doug/Evie. But Carvie will ALWAYS be my OTP when it comes to this fandom! :)
