Welcome back to LKTV! Once again, thanks for your reviews on the last chapter, and now I present to you the third chapter!

I'm not gonna ramble much this time, so let's just jump into it!

Last time, on LKTV

It took me about 5 seconds to process that sentence, but when it finally hit me, I looked at Ben with a shocked, extremely surprised look. Ben just smiled back at me.

I yelled at him "WHAT?!", watching them play was brutal enough, but now he was gonna be part of the judgematch! Ben just laughed at my expression.

Chapter 2 [A loong day, and a cookie of Love]

Carlos' POV

"WHY are you laughing?! This is serious matter! Look at me, do I look like a tourney player to you?!" I yelled even more. He joked even more, "Hmmm, now that you say it, you do not look like one". At this point I was furious and scared, I told him "I'm gonna die out there being squished by all of you brutes" as I frowned.

"Whoah, relax Carlos. I'll help you train for Tourney" said the brown-hair prince. I blushed a mighty blush, and I could tell Ben saw it. 'Ben, spending time with me...' "But if I die, I'll come back and haunt you!" I said jokingly. "You can try, but I'm not scared of anything!" he said bravely and roared playfully.

We walked back to our dorms to get ready for curfew, Jay later joined us after finishing his homework. "Jay, since when did you do homework?" I asked jokingly and he replied with a light laugh "Ever since I found out how fun Biology is, I mean, you can learn about our insides!".

Ben states "This is where we part ways my friends" dramatically. Me and Jay laughed, Jay later saying "Oh your majesty, be safe on your journey to your bed!" and I added "Don't let the lions eat you!" and we laughed some more. "Alright, goodnight you two" Ben said when he entered his room and we entered ours.

I sat on my bed with a worried look on my face, so obvious Jay could see it. "What's wrong C? Wait, let me guess, is it about Tourney?" Jay asked and I was surprised. I asked "Yeah, how did you know?", Jay answers "Ben told me earlier, I wanted to tell you but you left before I could get to you". "I am gonna die out there!" I exclaimed. "Or you could get a hard-on so large it'd be obvious."

Jay added. The sentence made me jump a little and I asked weakly, "W-w-wait... y-you knew?". Jay snickered and said "Of course! Mal and Evie would've too if they noticed you gawking at me shirtless, not to mention trying to get a peek at me showering sometimes".

"So Mal and Evie didn't know?" I asked panicking.

"I didn't want to be mean, so I didn't tell them. Plus, I found it kinda flattering, y'know?" he said lightly punching my shoulder.

"Thank's so much. I really want to confess to Ben but I don't know how... plus, he might hate me afterwards" I said with teary eyes, "I don't want him to hate me".

"He won't hate you C, you just need to wait for the perfect moment to tell him" Jay advised me "Welp, I'm getting ready to take a shower before sleeping, don't stare too long" he said winking. I laughed a little.

"Oh by the way, don't forget to stop by in the cafeteria tomorrow, Mal wants to meet us" he said before stepping into the shower. I said "Okay" before then yawning.

I decided to just go straight to sleep after changing my to my pajamas, nervous for what's happening tomorrow.

The next morning, I had to wake up extra early with nervousness overwhelming me. I changed my to my usual clothes with the color of black and white. I went out for a jog to calm myself down. I jogged around the field, when I returned after a full round, I saw Audrey looking up a tree. Feeling nervous, I walked up to her and greeted her. She greeted back "Hey" while looking up. I looked up and saw what I assume was her favorite hair ribbon.

"My favorite hair ribbon..." she said with a sad tone, and I was a teeny bit happy because I guessed right. I was thinking of climbing the tree to retrieve the ribbon but I noticed it was tattered and the tree was too tall, so instead, I gave her a cute pink tail. She looked at it and instantly brightened up, "For me?" she asked, "Yes" I answered. (Audrey's POV [Carlos is nice... no wonder Ben wants him...]). She used it to tie her hair, it was a flexible fur tail so it worked perfectly.

We talked for a bit before practice started. Audrey had changed, a lot. She was a whole lot nicer than when I first met her, which was only yesterday! I can tell that breakup with Ben really affected her. I waved goodbye as I went to my dorm to get my things ready for Tourney.

I went to the cafeteria first as Jay had instructed me. "Take this Carlos" Mal handed me a box with two cookies, one with white chips and one with chocolate chips. "The love potion is on the white chipped one" I nodded, but asked "But why would you give this to me?"

Evie answered "Since you're gonna be in tourney with Ben and you'r friendlier with him than Jay," Evie looked over at Jay who was eating his sandwich. "Alright, I'll give it to him after the tournament, but how would he fall in love with you?" I asked Mal, and she replied "Simple, he just looks at me and bam, he's in love, I'll be as obvious as I can".

"Got it" I said and I ran towards the field. I met up with Ben talking to Audrey, Ben saying "Oh, hey Carlos!" and Audrey said "Good morning Carlos".

I smiled at them both saying "Morning Ben and Audrey", but before I could continue, coach called all of us signaling the start of the practice. I saw Chad talking to some of his teammates, excluding Ben. Jay joined us minutes later. I was placed as defensive for the team.

For the first few rounds I was doing really bad, mostly because I was actually being targeted. My teammates didn't even try to defend, they would jump out of the offense's way while running towards me. Ben saw this happen and was angry, he went to tell coach. Coach had to blow the whistle about 50 times in 30 minutes while yelling at the defense team to work together. Coach was impressed at Jay's skill, but not mine.

My heart crumbled when I found out that I, had let down a total stranger. Now the blood in me was boiling, I was furious, determined, I used my small figure to dodge the attackers and scored a few points.

Coach asked us all to gather and said, "What were all of you doing out there?!" Furious at the defense team, all of them looking down. Alright, Jay, you've got potential, and I can work with that" he said then signals Jay to join the team. Jay was ecstatic of course.

Coach continued "Carlos, have you ever heard of band?", Chad and his friends snickered. That sentence just made my crumbled heart burn into nothingness. I could feel my eyes start getting teary. That's when Ben grabbed my shoulder, stood next to me and said "Coach, I'll train him. By this Friday, he'll be so good he'll win against Chad's team" he says as he glared at Chad.

Coach said "Alright, but if he doesn't, he's out. That's all for today, dismiss"

Ben's POV

Carlos said to me after coach dismissed us, "Thanks Ben... I hope I won't let you down" I could tell he was heartbroken, but he managed to smile. I thought to myself 'how are you able to still smile?' I said to him "Alright, meet me here tomorrow at 10 A.M" He nodded and left, with Jay behind him.

I walked over to Audrey, before I could speak, Audrey exclaimed "God, I just wanna beat up Chad right now!" furiously. I sighed "I do too Audrey, they were clearly targeting him", I asked Audrey "Hey Audrey, can you do me a favor tomorrow?", then she raised her eyebrow, "What?"

Again, very short POV of someone other than Carlos, sorry! ^^"

Carlos' POV

I said to Jay back in the dorm, "Good thing today is Saturday, no class" as I sighed and continue "I hope I won't let Ben down tomorrow". Jay sat next to me and said "If I was as dumb as I was back on the Isle, I would've punched all of Chad's teammate" I smiled at him before going to sleep.

The next day, I woke up like usual, went to the bathroom to take a shower, put on a white and red shirt and a pair of black sweatpants.

I went to the field early to soak some sunlight and do warm up before my so called 'training'. After about 15 minutes I finally saw Ben walk down the stairs and towards the tourney field. "Ready for your training?" he asked, with a mischievous smile. I replied looking a bit worried "Um.. yes". "Today, we will test and train your speed" Ben tells me, as he signals Audrey who was sitting on the bleachers, 'when did she get here?' I thought to myself, afterwards, she let go of what I initially though was a piece of rope.

Then I realized it was a leash. I heard Ben yell "Come on boy!", then saw a dog running towards me. Then Ben tells me to run as fast as I can to the end of the field.

Before the dog could even get close to me, I ran. I ran 2x my usual speed, mostly cuz' I'm running for my life. I ran without stopping, because if did, I would be eaten by that dog. I ran into the forest.

Ben's POV

I watched as Carlos sped past me, running for his dear life. Carlos ran into the forest, knowing he's never been in there, I went after him after signaling Audrey to go back. I couldn't help but feel really guilty.

After looking for him for approximately 10 minutes, I couldn't find the white haired boy, which is weird considering how he should stand out with his white and red shirt. I got more and more worried every second.

After a few more minutes of searching, I finally found him, thanks to the help of Dude's barking. I found him sitting on a tree branch, initially I wanted to climb up the tree, but I saw water drop down from where he was sitting. I realize that it was his tears. I asked "Carlos, bud, you okay?", it became clear to me he was crying when he replied "No.. I'm not okay" and his voice cracked, and that just made me feel even more guilty.

Carlos yelled at me with a tone mixed with sadness and anger "WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING BEN?! YOU KNOW I'M AFRAID OF DOGS!". I don't know why but I almost laughed, but I managed to contain it. I said to him "If you want, I'll bring the dog back to my room".

He replied weakly as if he was embarrassed to, "Please don't leave me here, I'm scared of being alone, and I might not be able to find my way back...". That reply made me feel like I needed to protect him. This feeling of protectiveness overwhelmed me, but I managed to contain it. "Then why don't you come down here?" I asked him and he just replied "Do you really need to ask that?". I let out light laugh, before hearing a 'crack' noise and watched as the branch he was on snaps and he falls down. Good thing the branch wasn't too high.

Carlos didn't move an inch as Dude slowly crept up to him. "P-P-Please h-help me" I heard Carlos say, but I just let Dude get closer to him. I saw him close his eyes in fear as Dude walked up to his face and licked his cheek. After about 3-4 licks, I picked Dude up. I said to Carlos as he slowly got up "See, that wasn't so bad", he looked at Dude then petted him. I was actually really surprised, a few minutes ago, he couldn't even look at Dude.

What made me even more surprised is that he asked if he could hold Dude, and I let him. For some reason, I said "Good boy" and Carlos replied "I know, Dude is great", but then I added, "No, I meant you". It made the white haired boy blush. We went back to the tourney field to continue our training, this time with Dude helping us. After our rigorous, approximately 5 hours long training, I decided to call it for the day.

I realized that Carlos skipped breakfast, since I saw his friends at the cafeteria, I asked him "Carlos, did you have breakfast today?". He hesitantly answers "Umm... Yeah I did". I told him "Carlos, don't lie to me", he raised his eyebrow and asked "How did- I mean how would you know if I was lying?".

I answered, "Well first your voice gets a higher tone, then you starts playing with your fingers. Finally, you cease to make eye contacts". Carlos said teasingly "Wow. How do you know these things? Have you been doing research on me before I came here?"

I answered jokingly, "Maybe I have or maybe I haven't" then I added "I just know things". He said to me "Oh sure you do" with a joking tone. He then answered me "No, I haven't had breakfast, I've gotten used to not eating. Sometimes I might even miss lunch, dinner, or both". His answer made me feel sad, I thought to myself 'these kids must have suffered a lot back on the isle...'.

When we got to the cafeteria, I told Carlos to go sit with Audrey. I went to the food court to get food for both me and him, and I got him a lot of food. When I got to his table, Audrey gasped while Carlos gawked at the mountain of food right in front of him. He exclaimed "Ben, what the heck?! I can't finish this!" then he looked at Audrey with the look that says 'help me'.

Audrey told him "I can't eat that, I'd get fat! Plus, I already had lunch. Carlos sighed as he started eating his food, and I just laughed lightly at him. Audrey then breaks the awkward silence on our table by asking Carlos "Hey Carlos, can I ask you something?", "Yeah?" the white haired boy answered, raising his eyebrow.

"Can you tell me about you and your friend's past?" she asked, as I choked on my food. Carlos exclaimed "Woah, slow down there beasty" jokingly as I kept coughing. When I finally stopped, he said "Sure, I'll start with Evie's I guess, but I'm only gonna say tell you guys a little bit. Not the entire past".
