Dizzy was a jaunty ball of energy sitting up on her knees in wonder of the bright beautiful world around her. "It's so pretty here I can't wait to see Auradon Prep and see Evie and Mal again," she squealed.

Carlos felt a twinge of pain in his heart, he remembered it so clearly: rumors had ran around the Isle like wildfire. Mal had ran away from her laid back life in auradon to take back her place on the Isle. Carlos didn't even get to see Mal because he had been busy working one of his jobs and she was gone by the time he was done. When Carlos got to the docks, the only people there were a furious Uma, a soaking wet Harry and the Jolly Roger covered in colourful smoke bomb residue. He wasn't surprised Mal and the others became so close during their time in Auradon. Carlos knew down in his heart he meant nothing in to them.

Holding a fool's gold charm in the palm of his hand and smiling at it, a warm feeling entered Carlos' stomach. Suddenly he felt Dizzy's hand clasp his shoulder and he jolted, his lengthy hair bouncing.

"Oooh, what's that? It's pretty," Dizzy gasped in awe.

"Dizzy hasn't your mother ever taught you to give others personal space?'' Growled Diego, pushing her away from Carlos so that he could get in between her and his cousin.

Dizzy stuck her tongue out. "I just wanted to see.''

"Yeah, well next time ask before stick your nose into shit, will ya?" He snapped, causing the little girl to recoil.

"Leave her alone, Diego. She's just a kid." Carlos warned and pulled his cousin to face him.

"He's right, ya know, let her be a kid," added Harley.

"She's gonna get hurt one day," Diego mumbled, folding his arms.

Their limousine pulled up on a fairytale looking school. Everything was set up all extravagant and fancy, banners and streamers everywhere, even a band playing in the yard.

"Well don't I feel special, they went all out for us," Harley gasped dramatically, falling over on Freddie, who laughed and pushed her to the floor. "Ouch watch it, Fred," Harley snapped.

Carlos saw from his window one of his former friends as well as a young man standing in front with a bright blue suit. Carlos remembered the vandalized posters around the Isle: this young man was King Ben. He didn't look like a king, he looked more like a teenager who was running a whole country. It was so laughable.

Carlos's face twisted into a look of hatred and sadness. It was because of Ben's parents that Carlos and the other villain kids had to endure what they did on the Isle. But what hurt most was that his friends forgot about him, as if Carlos or anybody else on the Isle didn't matter to them once they struck freedom.

"I see Evie's doing well," mumbled Harley, "she sure is all dolled up like the princess she thought herself to be."

Diego looked over to his cousin with concern. "You ready, cuz?" He asked as the limo came to a stop.

Carlos nodded but deep down he really didn't know. Whether he was ready or not, he couldn't back away now.

The driver opened the door and Harley was the first one to go. She held a very snarky smirk. "Wow, nice place. A little bright for my tastes, but I guess it's classy,'' she chuckled

Diego was right after her, softly holding his girlfriend's hand the moment she was out. It never surprised Carlos those two were always so in love that he treated her like a queen and she gave him more respect she then she ever gave her own father.

Carlos allowed Dizzy to leave before he did. Freddie stepped out after him, then Harry and Jace followed closely, holding their belongings behind their backs.

Ben smiled happily at them as a greeting. He and the others waved, stepping forward moments later. "Welcome to Auradon. We are all delighted you are attending our school."

Carlos stood beside his cousin and looked Ben up and down, carefully studying the king's features, looking for why Mal had even fallen in love with him in the first place, but he couldn't find any reason. Sure, Ben seemed polite and fairly good looking, but all Carlos saw was a boy with the title of king. And doing a fairly poor job at it, he thought.

Evie made her way towards him and Diego, she had changed so much. She had a brighter smile and a healthier complexion.

For a second, Carlos almost waved, but his fingers recoiled as Evie dove down to scoop up Dizzy, throwing her arms around the younger girl. You'll always be the last thing anyone thinks about, Carlos, never forget it.

Evie smothered Dizzy in kisses. "Oh Dizzy, I'm so glad to see you! There's so much I can't wait to show you." She then looked up at both De Vil cousins with a confused smile. "Uh, sorry it's been so long. You two really look alike now."

Carlos rolled his eyes. He and Diego had always been compared to one another, both in looks and personality. His mother always said how Deigo was always the better son and best looking child in the family. It was a first for Carlos to hear that he actually looked like his cousin.

"I'll give ya a big hint, Eve: C's the the one with the devil horned skull and Dalmatian spot tats." Freddie butted in.

Carlos smirked, pulling up his hoodie to show off his scarred and newly tattooed body.

Evie, appalled by his sudden act of boldness, flushed. "Oh. Nice tattoos."

Everyone else around back gasped Carlos could hear some girls giggling. "Thanks," he answered monotonously, pulling down his hoodie once more and brushing back his long bangs.

Ben cleared his throat. "Uh, I think it be best we get going now." He turned to face all of them and smiled brightly. His teeth were whiter than those of any person Carlos had seen back on the Isle. His smile was unnerving too, even creepy, Carlos thought. What did Ben have to smile about?

The king politely held the door open until all of them were in the school.

Another young man who was sitting down on a nearby sofa stood up and greeted Ben and kissed Evie on her cheek.

"I see she settled," whispered Harley, earning a giggle from the others.

The new boy ignored it and with a quick smile, he adjusted his horn-rimmed glasses before looking over the group. He looked so goofy and nerdy, it was almost funny instead of sad.

"This is Doug. He has your schedules for all classes you need to attend. He will also show you to your dorms." Ben explained.

Doug gave an awkward wave. He handed out the schedules one by one and the moment Carlos had the piece of paper in his hand, he stuck it in his hoodie pocket.

"If you want to attend club activities there is a board over there to sign up," Evie pointed behind herself, "with each and every club listed, including the times they start and end. Everybody's schedules are made so they have time for club activities."

"Are there any dance classes or science clubs?" Carlos asked.

"Oh, you're into science? Me too, I'd happy to sign you up!" Exclaimed Doug .

Ben checked his watch. "Oh I must go. I hope you all have a nice day," and waved as he left.

The others then turned to Evie. Harley was the first to step forward. "So you wanna tell us all why in the fucking burning hell it took you so fucking long to bring us here? Especially since it's just few of us, Ms. I'm An Auradon Girl Now.''

Evie paled before she cleared her throat and finally spoke. "Ok guys, l can understand why you would all be upset now and I want to say sorry. I'm sorry that I forgotten about you all."

"Sorry but it's gonna take more the pretty words to make us believe that.'' Freddy sighed coldly picking up her bags.

"C'mon guys let's get settled before we hear another sobb story apology,'' Harley commanded bitterly. She glared down at Evie while the others got their things together and left the common area going off to their assigned dorms.

As the others began to leave, Evie reached out to Carlos touching his shoulder. He flinched at the feeling and when Evie sensed his discomfort, she let go .

"Carlos, please tell me you don't feel the same do you?'' Begged Evie with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry, Evie, I'm feeling a lot of things right now and the past six months were not the greatest for me...at all. I'm happy for you that you're happy but I'm… just ...not. I know this may hurt, but for right now, I just don't want to be around you or the others. I need put some things…. together. I'm sorry." Carlos knelt down to Dizzy who gave him a sad smile, "and Dizzy, I really hope you get to make a lot of friends here.'' He said, patting her head before he stood up and walked away leaving his two friends behind.
