This one has some Jay x Audrey in it plus some Chad. Looks like someone's got a secret.
Audrey, Jay, and Chad were sitting at a table outside by the lockers, hanging out. The thief had become good friends with the two royal teens after all the past events were cleared up. The sun was shining, as usual, giving Auradon Prep its 'goodness' look. Chad was on his new phone his dad bought him. At first, the older Charming said no, but Cinderella convinced him to buy Chad another one as long as he'll take care of it. Scrolling through AuradonBuzz, Chad saw one of Audrey's posts and frowned in confusion.
"Hey, Audrey, you spelled 'pranksters' wrong," the young prince said, showing the girl her post.
"Simple mistake. Everyone does that once in a while," Audrey stated.
"And I thought princesses were supposed to be perfect," Jay commented.
Audrey let out a gasp, turning her head to face him. "Are you saying I'm not perfect?" she asked.
"Nobody's perfect, Audrey. I had to learn that the hard way," Chad said, remembering when he was being what everyone would call, a 'jerk', to Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos. Also when he tricked girls into doing his homework. Even though he still thinks he's awesome, he now knows even he has his flaws.
"Well, you're perfect in my eyes, Audrey," Jay complimented, bringing a giggle to the princess.
Just then, Audrey's phone 'dinged', meaning she just got a text. She pulled her pink and blue phone out of her purse and turned it on to read the text. Chad, being as curious as a cat, leaned over to read the text as well. It wasn't a long text, but it wasn't a short one either.
"Cool! Lonnie's got tickets to The Sorcerer's Apprentices concert this Friday," Chad said.
"Wait! I'm not at that part yet," Audrey whined, making her friend frown.
"What do you mean 'not at that part yet?'" the young prince asked. "Why do you take so long to read?"
Audrey glanced at Chad, her head not moving, a slight scowl on her face, then back to read the text Lonnie sent her. Jay, who seemed as equally curious as Chad was, raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah, why do you take so long to read?" he asked.
Audrey sighed. "Promise you won't tell anyone?" she asked, looking up from her phone.
Jay began to get worried. Was there something about his girlfriend that he didn't know? He and Chad nodded their heads in response to Audrey's question. The princess put down her phone. She knew the truth had to come out sooner or later.
"I-I'm dyslexic," Audrey revealed.
Jay and Chad were both caught by surprise. It must've taken guts for her to say that. Jay was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chad, who was laughing. The thief glared at the young prince while Audrey looked at him confused and worried.
"You mean you can't read?" Chad asked in between laughs.
"No. I just have a hard time with it," Audrey corrected.
"A princess who can't read! Now there's something you don't see every day," Chad exclaimed.
He continued laughing, making Jay boil with anger. How dare he laugh at such a thing! To Chad, it was as if Audrey didn't know how to do something so simple like talking. It was just hilarious to him.
"It's not funny, Chad!" Audrey cried out, on the verge of tears.
Chad couldn't hear her due to his laughing. When Jay saw a tear roll down the princess' cheek, that's when he knew he needed to stop this.
"Chad, stop laughing!" Jay shouted.
The young prince heard him shout, his laughing turned down to smiling. He looked at Jay, who had one of those, 'I want to kill you' faces.
"What? It's funny because it's like she can't read," Chad stated, trying to hold back the laughter.
Audrey's sniffles caught his attention. He looked at her, tears rolling down her cheeks. She wiped her eyes to clear away the tears. Jay put an arm around her and pulled her in to comfort her. Chad realized what he had done. He made Audrey cry. He made a princess cry. He made his friend cry. Something a prince should never do.
"Oh," was all Chad could say. He glanced back and forth between Jay and Audrey.
Of course, this was so Chad. Always acting before he thinks. A mistake he always makes. No wonder some of the students at Auradon Prep call him a jerk.
"I'm sorry," Chad apologized for his behavior.
Audrey didn't reply to him since she was too busy crying. Jay, also didn't reply. He just kept glaring at him. They were like that for a while, Chad beginning to feel uncomfortable. He hung his head, ashamed. Audrey's sobs were becoming quieter. She was calming down. Looking up at Chad, she found it kinda weird that he actually looked sorry. She always thought he would be more heartless. But maybe since she was like one of his best friends, he would feel bad.
"I-It's fine. You didn't know," Audrey said, sniffling a little.
Chad looked back up at Audrey and smiled weakly. "Since you told us a secret, I'll tell you one," he said in hopes of making his friend feel better.
"I'm very, very," Chad began. "Stupid."
Jay and Audrey both smiled at that secret, knowing it was half a joke and half true. Audrey and Chad then looked at Jay, expecting him to reveal something. At first, he protested, but after seeing their 'puppy dog eyes', he gave in.
"Fine. I miss the Isle of the Lost," Jay said.
"What about it?" Chad asked, not understanding why he would miss that place.
"Stealing, jumping on roofs, Lady Tremaine's granddaughters...," Jay said.
Audrey's no longer red eyes narrowed. "What?" she growled.
"I'm kidding," Jay stated, chuckling a little with Chad.
How was that? Hopefully it was okay to you viewers. Next will be a Mal and Jane friendship one-shot.
