I'm so sorry... It took me so long to update... I just wasn't inspired enough to go on... And now here's a way too short chapter... I hope you enjoy it although :)

Carlitos Knows

It was 6am when I woke up because of my alarm clock. "Why the hell did I say I liked school?", I asked myself loudly while standing up. I walked into the bathroom to have a quick shower and put on some jeans and a blue t-shirt. With still wet hair I made breakfast and couldn't help but miss my mom. She always made the best breakfast for me and my brother, but now I had to take care of that myself.

After finishing breakfast I put the dishes into the dishwasher and left for the Palm Woods lobby. Carlos told me that he'd pick me up there and surprisingly he was already there. "G'morning..." He yawned.

"Good morning, Carlos.", I answered feeling the urge to yawn also. "Ready for school?"

"Nah, never...", the caramel skinned boy told me and we left for the Palm Woods school. As we entered only some pupils where there yet and I walked to the teachers desk. The teacher was rather young and had blond hair. "Hi, my name is Alexander Young and..."

"And you're my new pupil.", she completed my sentence happily. "My name's Miss Collins. Take a seat and later you'll present yourself to the class once everyone is here."

I walked back to Carlos and seated myself next to him. "Gosh... She wants me to present myself to the class. I can't do that! Too... Shy..."

The latino looked at me suspicious. "You're... 'Shy'?"

"Yeah, I am!"

"Didn't notice."

"Hey... Why are you being so mean to me?"

"Didn't mean to."

"I hope so!"

"So... er... What's your favourite school subject?"

"Carlos, what's that about? I thought you hated school. So why are you asking me stuff about your most hated thing?", I asked him. I felt nervousness rising up my stomach. He's coming soon.

"Just some smalltalk.", he answered me. "Dude, breathe." Fuck.

"Yeah... Forgot about that again."

"Now answer my question." Is he trying to distract me?

"Well... It's Arts and eventually any foreign language."

"Oh, cool. Which languages did you learn?"

"German, as you might know, but also French and Spanish."

"Pues podemos hablar Español. ¡Qué suerte!"*

"Sure we can."

"Why did you leave so early, Carlos?", another voice behind me asked. While we were talking more and more people were entering the classroom, but that one particular voice caught me off guard. I didn't even need to turn around to know who it was. "¡Respira!**, Carlos reminded me again before telling Kendall that he had wanted to pick me up.

"Well, then I should say 'hi' to you, too, Alex.", Kendall said to me and I turned around to face him. Gosh, he remembered my name... He's so gorgeous... Oh my god...

"Alex, breathe.", the latino reminded me for what seemed like the thousandth time. "I think you have some breathing disorder." I'm just too stupid.

"Yeah. Maybe Dr. L should check you.", Kendall said smirking at Logan who just sat next to him. Suddenly I noticed that Kendall had seated himself next to me. Breathe... Whoa! I reminded myself!

"Yeah, funny.", Logan said sarcastically.

"Maybe you should do, Logan.", I chuckled nervously. I looked to Kendall again and he was smiling at me, which made me smile, too. Suddenly he frowned and I instantly looked back to the front as the door opened. As James closed it gently, the bell rang and Miss Collins stood up. "Good morning, everybody. As you may have noticed we have a new student. May you come to the front and introduce yourself?", she asked and smiled warmly at me. I stood up and walked over to the board.

"So, well.. er... Yeah.", I muttered and started to blush. Ok, calm down. You need to impress Kendall.

I looked over to Carlos as he mouthed "Breath."

I wrote my name onto the board. "OK, my name is Alexander Young, I recently moved here from the East Coast and... I'm an actor. Well that's practically it. Do I need to say more?", I asked Miss Collins.

"No, that should be it, thank you. Seat yourself, please."

After school and giving a very awkward goodbye full of blushing and holding breath to Kendall, Carlos offered me to bring me to my apartment. "Can I come in?", he asked me and I nodded. I closed the door, threw my school stuff into my room and walked over to the kitchen. "Do you want something to drink, Carlos?", I asked him grabbing a bottle of soda and two glasses.

"Well, I just wanted to talk to you.", he told me in a serious voice.

"Er.. Ok?" I walked over to the sofa and put everything on the coffee table. Then I said down and poured some soda in my glass.

"Everyone pretends me to be stupid and childish, and maybe I am, but...", Carlos said to me while sitting down next to me. "But I'm very good at reading people's mind. Not that it would have been so hard with you, Alex."

"Carlos, what is that supposed to mean?" I got pretty nervous again and took a huge sip of my soda.

"You don't have a breathing disorder thing, but a heavy crush on Kendall."

My face turned instantly red and I put the glass back on the table. "N-n-no I d-don't!"

"Dude."

"What 'dude'?"

"You can't lie to me, even James noticed and he's obsessed with his hair."

"D-did Kendall say something to you?"

"No... not yet."

"What does that mean?"

"He told me that he wanted to talk to me after school."

"Oh my god! He noticed, too! And now he hates me!" I started to cry heavily.

"Whoa!", he exclaimed. "Dude, calm down."

"I-I can't calm down. I-I'll change hotel... Yeah, that's what I need to do!" Carlos petted my back.

"No, you won't. Now let me finish speaking." I nodded.

I planned it to be different, but then I decided to turn chapter 6 into a flashback, that's why we have some kind of cliffhanger here. I promise you guys that one of the next chapters will be way longer. (Well... I don't know yet if the flashback will be that long, but I try to get at least 1,000 words for the next one... Although that really isn't much...) Duh... I dropped Spanish (even though I kind of liked it a bit) and now it was so hard to form such an easy short sentence Y.Y Creepy.

I hope I can update earlier next time...

Love you guys ;)

R&R! Otherwise I'll let Carlos chase you down O.O

A/N: I didn't want Carlos to be Alex' kind of best friend at first xD Actually I planned to let Logan take that part... Lol

*Span.: "We can speak Spanish then. How lucky!"

** Span.: "Breathe!"
