Chapter 13: I'm Sorry
The Next Morning
The sun was rising and that means another day in school, which means that Chad had to get up. He's rubbing his eyes to see better and turns to see his roommate's bed was already made with no sign of him anywhere in the room. Chad really messed up last night, feeling bad that he called Quincy stupid for hanging out with someone else that isn't him. He wanted to explain it better to him, but let his jealous rage take over him. Now he had to figure out how to apologize to his redheaded pal.
After Remedial Goodness Class
In the Student's Lounge, Quincy was sitting on a chair, watching a funny video on his phone, minding his own business when suddenly, a boy around his age came in and spotted Quincy. Quincy looked up to see who that is and then greeted him.
"Hey, Pin." Pin is the son of Pinocchio and he's in Quincy's Safety Rules for the Internet class after lunch.
"Hey Quincy, whatchu doing here all by yourself?" Pin asked.
"Just sitting here, watching a video."
"More like you're avoiding a certain someone."
"What's makes you say that?" Quincy asked looking at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Chad was looking for you earlier, he asked me if I seen you."
"Well now you do."
"Look, I think you should talk to him, he looks like he's really sorry for whatever happened."
"I don't care, and you better not tell him I'm here." Quincy said strictly.
"Well, actually…." Then the next thing Quincy knows is that Chad walked up besides Pin.
"You sneaky little puppet, you tricked me." Quincy said getting up.
"Can you give us the room?" Chad asked Pin.
"Sure." Then Pin made his way out of the room. 30 seconds gone by and the two of them were still in the same spot with Quincy looking angry and Chad looking guilty.
"Look, Quincy.." Chad tries to apologize.
"I don't wanna hear, I'm out of here." Quincy said before he makes his way to the door but Chad grabs his arm. "Let go of me."
"Not until you listen what I have to say."
"Why? Cause I'm stupid?"
"No, so I explain myself." Chad had to make this right, no matter what, even if he has to beg on his knees for forgiveness.
Quincy decides to hear he say, so he says, "Make it fast." Then Chad lets him go.
"The reason I acted like that was because I…I…" Chad stuttered, didn't want to admit the truth.
"You know what, forget this, if you ain't talking, then I'm gone." Quincy said making his way out again, but then Chad blurted out, "I was jealous, ok?!" That made Quincy stop and turned to Chad.
"What?" Quincy asked him.
"I was jealous of Herkie hanging out with you. It leaves this feeling inside of me and I wanted to knock his teeth out, acting like he's your best friend and not me."
"Wow, I didn't think you felt that way, is this how you are with you're friends?"
"I barely make real friends beside Ben, he's been good to me like I've been with him, expect I wasn't on his side when the VKs first came here and I felt bad way after since I've gotten to know Jay and Carlos."
"What's your point?"
"The point is when I met you, I didn't think we're gonna be friends, I thought we were gonna be enemies but that day when you said your mom tells you how to act like a prince, it made me realize we're not so different so I thought why not get to know you more, and I'm glad I did." After what Chad said, Quincy almost teared up, no one has ever say that to him, caring about him like know else did back on the isle. All anyone did was being afraid of him and his pranks but Chad's different.
"Chad, I…I don't know what to say."
"Then let me finish by saying…I'm sorry," Chad says, "I'm sorry for being a jealous jerk and I'm sorry I call you stupid because you're not, I'm stupid."
"Wow, so what you're saying is its that you're a dummy?" Quincy said smirking a bit.
"Yes, I'm dumb." Chad said smiling a bit.
"Well…If you wanna make it up to me, then say you're a big dummy." Quincy said full on smirking.
Chad chuckled then said, "I'm a big dummy."
"Now say you like snorting like a pig."
"I like snorting like a pig."
"Do it for real."
"What? Oh come on."
"I thought you wanna make it up to me." Quincy said with a puppy dog pout and Chad does want to make it up to him, so even though it's humiliating, he rather have a friend then a reputation, so he did what Quincy said and snorts like a pig like he never has before, which made Quincy laugh like a hyena who cornered a lion cub.
"Now say that I'm the best friend you ever had." Quincy said sincerely and Chad gets the picture.
"You're the best friend I ever had and I won't forget it, ever." Chad then walks to Quincy and gives him a hug, which leaves to return one too and they stayed like that for at least 10 seconds then separated. They both laughed now that the tensions out of the way.
"So, what do wanna do now since we have free period?" Chad asked Quincy.
"Well first, you can explain to me why there's giant, long hair all over the floor?" Quincy asked as he pointed out to the long blonde hair that leads outside in the hallway.
"That's Ruby, Rapunzel's daughter." Chad said.
"God, how long does it go?"
"According to Audrey, 10 minutes after she leaves."
"Wow, that's long."
"I'll say."
"Also, I heard that Carlos and Jane are working on a recipe, wanna swing by?"
"Nothing better to do anyways." And so Chad leads Quincy to where the white-haired boy and the teenaged fairy are at.
In the kitchen where Mal made her love potion cookies before to make Ben fall in love with her, Carlos and Jane were baking there cake to present to their class for a grade.
"So we add a cup of flour and then we mix it." Jane tells Carlos as she was reading the cookbook while Carlos is doing the ingredients.
"You could help me, you know?" Carlos said.
"I am, I'm reading you the instructions."
"Not what I meant by that."
"I'm might screw it up, I'm not exactly great with doing some things."
"You mean that time when you sewed your dress and pillow together?" One day, she was assigned to sew a pillow but accidentally sew it to her clothers and tried to pull it off but ripped a huge part of her dress.
"Yeah and you were laughing the whole time." Jane said angrily as she remembers that Carlos was there for the whole thing and laugh like he never laugh, embarrassing Jane and promising her that he never tells a soul and helps her walk by to her room while he gives her his jacket and wraps it around her waist since that where the dress' been ripped from.
"It was too funny to not laugh, hahahaha" Carlos laughed and while he was laughing, Jane thought about dumping some flour on him and she poured some all over his head, making him look dusty and ghostly. Jane couldn't help herself and started laughing at him, thinking how he looks like a ghost.
"Oh, you trying to be funny huh?" Carlos asked her.
"Oh, I ain't trying, hahahahaha." Jane laughed so Carlos stick his hand in the batter and draws a line straight down her face then it was his to his laugh.
"Oh yeah?" Jane said before she grabs an egg and breaks it on his head, covering him in yolk. Carlos grabs a stick of butter and rubs it all over her then she throws some salt at him and suddenly it turned into a food fight but with ingredients. Jane and Carlos were laughing it each other the whole time and after Jane throw another egg is when Carlos grabbed her from behind, making both of them laugh until they gazed into each other's eyes and star intensely. It's been 10 seconds at least before they started to move their heads forward until the door opened and it was Quincy and Chad who came in and noticed the mess that was all over the kitchen and the bakers separated before the other two noticed.
"What in the Bibbidi happened here?" Chad asked with his mouth wide open.
"It's like a tornado hit this place." Quincy said shocked.
Carlos and Jane had to say something so Jane spoked first, "Umm, we're baking, hehe."
"What, the kitchen?!" Quincy asked.
"We got carried away, you see there's this food fight…" Carlos tries to explain but Quincy held up his hand.
"Never mind, so uh….what were you two doing when we got in?" Quincy smirked remembering seeing how close those two were before.
"What do you mean?" Carlos asked, blushing and hoping Quincy didn't see them together.
"Like how close you two were?" Quincy said then he gasp before saying, "Were you gonna kiss?" He asked with a huge grin, making Chad shake his head no but he was amused.
Carlos and Jane were blushing furiously then answered strongly, "NO!"
"Are you sure? Cause that's what it look like to me." Quincy said then giggled.
"Nothing happened." Jane said panicky.
"Yet." Quincy said smirking.
Chad, since he wants to join in on the fun, says, "That's not what everyone else says."
"Dude, we are just friends." Carlos said clearly.
"Yeah, they're just being liars." Jane said backing Carlos up.
"Whatever, so with that aside, what are you gonna do about this?" Quincy said pointing around the kitchen when he said "this".
"I know exactly what to do." Jane said then she starts saying a spell, "A mess is made by more than one teen, so make this kitchen nice and clean." With the spell spoken, blue dust came out of her hand when she raises them and it covers the entire kitchen, making it look like not even a crumb was dropped and everything was put back to where it was before the food fight. Amazed by Jane's magic, Quincy and Chad had their mouths wide open, surprise by the sparkling clean kitchen that appears before their eyes then turns their directions to the brown and pink haired teen fairy.
"You can do magic?!" They both asked.
Jane giggled The tells them, "Yeah, I kinda found out a while ago, around the time Freddie showed up when Mal and the others got themselves wished to the isle."
"So that's how she got here." Quincy figured out then remembers, "Hey, isn't that the same reason how I got here, because of you two and Jay?" Quincy asks Carlos and Chad, then remembers seeing the three athletes appear from pink dust, knowing that its because of magic but didn't know what kind until later.
"Yeah, since it was Jay's fault for rubbing Jordan's lamp." Chad explains to him.
"Jay sometimes doesn't think before doing anything." Quincy said, remembering the time when Jay would try to steal Captain Hook's hook off when he was 13, but didn't think that he's asleep with one eyes open that night and tries to hit him with his hook so Jay had to escape.
"So, can you guys not say anything to my mom? I don't want her to freak out or be disappointed." Jane said, worrying that her mom wouldn't like the fact that she's using magic ever since she discovered she has it.
"Don't worry, you're secret's safe, right Q?" Chad asked Quincy.
"Well, maybe if you could poof up a bag of cash…" Quincy joked.
"Quincy!" They all said, making Quincy jump.
"I'm kidding, chill out, I won't say anything, sheesh."
"Thank you, but one thing, how come you guys are here?" Jane asked the boys.
"Just seeing how's it going, but we already figured it out, hahaha" Quincy said giggling, talking about the possible kissing that would've happened, making Carlos and Jane blush again.
"Yeah, so we're just trying to put everything together to make our cake." Jane said.
"A double layer cake, with lots of chocolate." Carlos said mouth watering.
"Ugh, calm down, choco boy," Quincy said before looking at the cookbook then at the ingredients on the counter, "You seem to be forgot something like...sugar."
That made Jane and Carlos' eyes pop out, noticing that there's no sugar by the rest of the stuff there using.
"Oh, I almost forgot." Jane said as she grabs the sugar from the pantry and measures it to what she needs. "You can't bake cake without sugar."
"I know that's right." Carlos said making sure that Jane did it right.
"I told you it'll be fun coming here." Quincy says to Chad.
"I guess you're right, it's like a dumb romantic-comedy movie." Chad said then he and Quincy both laughed at his joke.
"Sounds like things are fine with you two." Jane said.
"Yeah, I heard that Quincy blew a fuse last night with you, Chad." Carlos said when he heard earlier about them fighting.
"Yeah, it's just something I need to work on." Chad said.
"I'll say, I never knew you care about me so much." Quincy said hug Chad with one arm while smiling, making Chad blush.
"Come on, knock it off."
"You know you love me, hahahaha." Quincy laughed while Chad was secretly amused.
"Hey by the way, Coach told me earlier that we have go straight to practice after school's over, he wanted me to let you know." Carlos informed Chad and Quincy.
"What?! Earlier?! For what?!" Quincy asked.
"It's a thing we do on the day before the game, that we practice early so we be more prepared." Chad said.
"I was more prepared to take a nap."
"Sorry, Red, but we got to, it's a tradition."
"Ugh, fine, since I don't have a choice." Quincy pouted with his arms crossed.
In Jay and Carlos' room, Chad, Aziz, Herkie, Ben and Quincy, except Jay, were all exhausted and laying anywhere in the entire room.
"That was intense." Aziz said on a bean bag chair.
"Intense?! It was brutal!" Quincy said from Carlos' bed.
"My aching legs were on fire." Herkie said on the floor.
"I'm sweating through every part of my body." Chad said from a chair.
"But at least we've seen to be getting better, especially Herkie here, you were almost as fast as Quincy." Ben said who's sitting beside Jay on his bed.
"Yeah, just yesterday you were second to last, now you runner up." Jay said.
"How'd you get so fast?" Carlos asked who's next to Quincy on his bed.
"Let's just say I had a good coach." Herkie before he winked at Quincy who winked at him back.
The other guys notice this and Aziz asks him, "You did?"
"Guilty." Quincy said smiling. "I just thought "why not" and taught him what I know."
"That's really impressive, Quincy. You're coming along the way here." Ben said impressed.
"I guess so, heh."
"I can't wait til we beat those Falcons." Herkie said.
"Who?" Quincy asked.
"Sherwood Forest Falcons, the team we're going against." Ben said.
"They beat us all the time until Jay and Carlos came around and we beat them that one time."
"Sounds like your saying VKs rule." Quincy said smirking.
"Don't get so ahead of yourself, you don't wanna over confident." Chad said smirking at Quincy.
"Who's over confident? I'm just stating the facts, hehehehe."
"Oh yeah, lets see who scores first tomorrow." Chad said.
"It's a bet." Quincy said.
"How about loser has to carry the other's backpack the whole next week?"
"Deal." Quincy said before shaking Chad's hand, amusing their friends.
"This should be interesting." Jay said.
"Yeah, so far I don't see how this could possibly go wrong." Ben said.
Later that night
Everyone in Auradon Prep was fast asleep, resting up for the big game tomorrow night, when suddenly, a mysterious figure went to Quincy and Chad's room through their window with a pillow filled with feathers and waited until Quincy's head was turned before quietly replacing his memory foam pillow with the feathered one and sneaks out their window.
"Hmm, this should hold him off." Then the body goes out, climbs down and ran off into the night, waiting for results of its plan.
Author's Note: Uh-oh, looks like someone wants Quincy to have a bad day before his Tourney debut. Who is responsible? Why would they do this? What's they're endgame? Find out on Chapter 14 and as always, Have a Wicked Day.
