Mal's POV

It has been two days since me and Carlos started to pretend that we are a couple. The word got around the school fast yesterday I had a bunch of people asking me if I am really dating Carlos. Almost every student at Auradon Prep actually believes that we are actually dating except for Audrey who's still convinced that I like her ex, Ben. I was about ready to head to chemistry class with my three best friends before Audrey came running up to me wanting to talk to me.

Audrey: Look Mal, you need to drop the act because I know you're faking it.

Me: What are you talking about Audrey?

Audrey: I know you're just pretending to date Carlos so, you can hide the fact you're in love with my ex Ben.

Me: Look Audrey, I'm not in love with Ben. Please, stop accussing me for crap I didn't do.

Audrey: If you're really dating Carlos like you say then how come on your Gracebook account it still says that you're "single"?

Me: I just haven't had a chance to change my relationship status on Gracebook.

Audrey: Yeah right! I know that you're lying Mal.

Evie's POV

So, yesterday I took a test in Chemistry and when Mr. Deley handed me back my test, I was so surprise to see I got a "B'" on my test. Then Mr. Deley gave me back my Magic Mirror I'm so happy that I got a "B" on my Chemistry test. I can't wait to tell Doug about this when I see him in my math class.

Right before, math class started I walked up behind Doug who's sitting down at his desk. He look up and saw that I was standing behind him. I showed him my test to show him what I got on my test.

Me: For the first time, it's like I'm more than just a pretty face.

Doug: Shocker, huh? I mean I'm not surprise you are great at chemistry because your mother is great at making potions.

Evie: I never thought of it that way. Thank you Doug for tutoring me.

Then I went up to Doug and gave him a hug from behind before, I sat down back at my assigned seat next to Doug.

Lunch

Ben: So, Evie tell me more about you like who's your biological father? What was life like growing up on the Isle?

Me: Trust me Ben, you don't want to know what life was like on the Isle.

Ben: Evie, I just want to get to know you better I feel like I don't know a whole lot about your childhood. I just want to understand what life was like on the Isle because I want to improved the living conditions on the Isle and provide Social Services for people that really need help.

Me: My biological father is Prince Hans Westergaard. I don't have a good relationship with my father because he left me when I was young after my mom caught him cheating on her with the Queen of Hearts. My mother Queen Regina Grimhilde also known as "The Evil Queen" has been married twice to Snow White's father before he died and Prince Hans. After your parents got married all the villains were sent to the Southern Isles which is the same kingdom my father Prince Hans family rules. Then after all the villains were sent to the Southern Isles the kingdom was renamed "The Isle of the Lost" which is still rule by the Westergaard family. My father is the youngest out of thirteen sons which makes my father last in line to the throne unless he married someone quick that's why my parents got married 19 years ago all because they both want power to rule the Isle. My parents ruled the Isle for a little bit before they got divorced which means I am the Princess of the Isle and I come from a line of royalty on both sides of the family. I have a horrible relationship with my father it's a really long story I really don't want to talk about it.

Mal: The Isle is a horrible place to lived all thanks to your father who thought it would be a good idea for all the villains to be imprisoned on the Isle for their crimes.

Ben: Actually Mickey Mouse is the reason why my father send all the villains to lived on the Isle while everyone else lives in Auradon.

Mal: What does Mickey Mouse have to do with all the villains being trapped on the Isle with no way out?

Ben: Before my parents got married, Mickey Mouse though he had this wonderful idea to have every Disney character to be apart of his show called "House of Mouse". My father realized while being on that show that having every Disney character being in the same room causes too much chaos. This is why my father decided to sent all the villains to all be trapped on the Isle with no way out.

Carlos POV

After school was over the four of us were all bored just hanging out in the girls' dorm room.

Evie: I have an idea what we should do. I think we should play truth or dare. I'll go first Carlos Truth or Dare?

Me: Dare.

Evie: I dare you to kiss your girlfriend Mal, right now.

Even though I have been secretly in love with Mal for years and I really want to kiss her on the lips right now. I just don't have the guts to do it because I am too scared to kiss one of my best friends that I'm in love with. I am afraid if I kiss her even though we are just pretending to date it will ruin our friendship forever. What if she doesn't like me and this entire time we have been pretending to date she's just pretending to be in love with me all because I'm her fake boyfriend?

Me: Nope I can't do it because I don't want to have my first kiss to happen all because of some stupid dare. I want it to be special.

Evie: Okay fine just give her a kiss on the cheek then even though I would much rather see you kiss her on the lips.

I lean in close to Mal and give her a small kiss on her right cheek just to make Evie happy even though I was so scared to give her a simple kiss on the cheek. After I kissed Mal on the cheek for the first time, I noticed Mal's cheeks were turning bright red. Why is Mal blushing? I thought to myself. Is she blushing because she likes me just as much as I do?

Me: Mal, Truth or Dare?

Mal: Truth.

Mal's POV

Carlos: How many times have you been in love? I am just curious because before I asked you out you never showed any interested in anybody. Mal, you're one of my best friends and I want you to be honest with me because I know for a fact that your biggest fear is falling in love and end up getting hurt in the end just like what happen to your mother with your father.

I have been friends with Carlos his whole life and he has never asked me anything about my love life like who I have a crush on because he knows that my biggest fear is falling in love and getting hurt in the end. Why all the sudden does Carlos want to know how many times I have been in love? Does Carlos want to know how many times I have been in love before because he is secretly in love with me and never told me about it?

Me: Carlos, the truth is I have only been in love once in my life. Okay Jay, Truth or Dare?

Jay: Dare

Me: I dare you to give Chad back his phone because it's the right thing to do.

Jay: Fine, I'll give it back to him right now.

Me: I'm coming with you, Jay just to make sure you actually give him back his phone and not lie about it.

I followed Jay to Chad's dorm room which he shares with our friend Ben who mention to us that Chad is his roommate. Jay knocked on the door then Chad answered the door. Jay gave Chad back his phone that he stole and apologize to Chad for stealing his phone last week. Chad forgave Jay for taking his phone and was so happy that he got his phone back. Then both me and Jay walked back to my dorm room to continue our Truth or Dare game that we were playing with Evie and Carlos.

Jay: Evie, Truth or Dare?

Evie: Truth.

Jay: Who's this lucky guy that you mention that you have a crush on last week?

Evie: It's Prince Ben

Jay: Wait so, you're telling me that you're in love with the future King of Auradon?

Evie: Yes.

Jay: Let me guess, the only reason why you like him is because you want to make your mother proud of you by marrying someone that's born royal?

Evie: No, Jay I didn't fall in love with him just because he's a Prince. I fell in love with Ben for who he is because he is such a caring person who really cares about his people.

Jay: Whatever you say Evie.

A few hours later at 6:30 the boys are getting ready for their game tonight at 7 pm. Tonight the Auradon Knights have a home game for Tourney playing against Bayou De Orleans Frogs. I walked over to the boys room across the hall because I wanted to wish my "fake" boyfriend "Good Luck" before his game. When I first walked into the boys room I didn't see Carlos anywhere. So, I went to check in the bathroom to see if Carlos is there which is on the left side of the room when you first walked in there. The bathroom door was still wide open so, I just walk right on in and I saw blood on the bathroom floor.

Author Note: Trigger Warning this chapter mentions self-harm if that triggers you I would recommend skipping the paragraph down below this author note.

I saw Carlos standing there at the bathroom sink shirtless. This is the first time in my life I have seen Carlos without a shirt on and I have to admit he looks hot without a shirt on. Carlos has never been one of those guys that likes to walk around without a shirt on and he is not one of those guys that likes to sleep without a shirt on. Jay on the other hand is proud of his body and likes to walk around shirtless.

Me: Hey Carlos.

Carlos: Hey Mal what are you doing here? I'm trying to get dressed for my game because I don't feel comfortable changing in public. I just don't want anyone to see my scars and ask me how I got them.

Me: I just wanted to tell you good luck before your game.

Carlos: Thanks Mal.

I notice Carlos was bleeding on his right wrist and there was a razor blade cover in blood on the bathroom sink.

Me: Carlos, why are you bleeding?

Carlos: Mal, please just don't worry about it.

Me: Carlos, please just tell me what happen is it another scar that your mother gave you that got infected?

Carlos: No, it's not that. I actually cut myself.

I had no idea that Carlos cuts himself. I notice he had scars all over his wrists that I have never seen before. I guess that is the reason why he wears his red fingerless gloves all the time to cover his scars from the times he cuts himself.

Me: Why do you even cut yourself in the first place?

Carlos: The reason why I cut myself is because I feel so worthless. My mother told me that "no one would ever love me" and I agree with her who would ever love a broken boy?

It's breaks my heart knowing that Carlos thinks that no one would ever love him. A part of me wants to screams at Carlos and let him know that I'm in love with him before it's too late. The other part of me wants to keep my feelings to myself because I'm too scared to tell one of my best friends that I have been in love with him since we were in 6th grade.

Me: Carlos, that's not true because you have friends that love you.

I went over and gave Carlos a big hug to make him feel better. I just wished he sees himself the way I see him. I don't care if he has scars I love him for who he is no matter what.

Carlos: Thanks Mal for being there for me.

Me: I'm always here for you Carlos and you can tell me anything I won't judge.

Carlos: I know Mal. I need to finish getting ready for the game I'll see you later at the game.

Me: Bye.

Carlos: Bye.
