Carlos was walking down Dude around the courtyard, playing fetch with him. "Ready, Dude! Go get it boy," he tossed the stick he was holding as far as he could. Dude barked and rushed to the direction the stick landed.

"Carlos!" Evie called out, sending a smile. "There you are. I've been looking for you."

"Hey, Evie. I've been here playing with Dude. Want to join us?" Carlos offered, smiling brightly as he got the stick from Dude's mouth.

"Sure, but I wanted to talk to you about something." Evie and Carlos began to walk along the trees that surrounded the courtyard, with Dude following them. "I heard what happened in the field," she said.

Carlos knew where she was going with this. "Let me guess Jay told you. Don't worry about it I'm fine. A few taunting words doesn't hurt me," he chuckled, playing it off cool but Evie knew better. Carlos was the type of person that doesn't want others to worry about him, he liked to be positive as he can be.

"Then what about two weeks when they locked you in a closet for an hour?" She folded her arms, "Why didn't you tell any of us? How long has this been going on?" Evie was worried sick and hurt that Carlos kept this from them. Did he honestly think no one would find out?

"Its nothing to worry about. I may not be strong as Jay, or cast spells like Mal, or even have mirror to help me out. But, I can handle this. I don't want to be the person that ends up asking for a lot help just because I can't handle it." He glanced at Evie, his lips quirking upwards. "Thank you for caring but I'm fine. Its nice to know you guys care."

Evie was shocked, Carlos sounded so wise and sincere. He didn't want anyone to worry about him. But, Evie is not going to stand by and watch other students pick on Carlos. No. Now she was happy that Jay told her everything that has been going on the last couple of weeks.

Dude barked, bringing back Evie to reality. "Dude is getting hungry. I better head back to my dorm, I'll talk to you later, Evie." He jogged back into campus with Dude following him.

As soon as Carlos was out of sight Evie took out her mirror. "Mirror, mirror on my hand, who the biggest bully on this land?" She asked, and the answer didn't one bit surprised her. A picture of Chad popping out on her mirror. Jay mention it was him but she wanted to know for sure before they can get their revenge on him.

"You messed with the wrong villain, Chad." Evie put the mirror back in her pocket and started to walk away to look for Mal, with a smirk on her lips.

Carlos entered his room and was surprised when he spotted Jay. "Jay? I thought you were out with the team?" He blinked, shutting the door from behind after Dude enter.

"It got boring. I like to be wild, you know," Jay smirked as he played with a ball by tossing it up and down.

Nodding, Carlos sat on his bed. "Evie was talked to me today." He wanted to know why Jay told the girls everything, he wasn't mad, more like surprised. After all, Jay hardly tells the truth, he lies his way through everything to get what he wants.

Jay breath hitched, "Did she now?" He tried to play it off cool, "What did she talk to you about? About another pajamas set for you and Dude?" He prayed that Evie didn't tell him about his feelings for Carlos. He trusted her! His voice was so nonchalant that it could've fooled everyone. And it fool Carlos too.

"No. She told me that she was worried about me, about the little bully problems. Why did you tell her?" Carlos asked, he stared directly at his eyes. "I'm not mad, just caught off guard. You'd never been you know... the truth type."

Ouch. That actually stung. "We're friends, I care about you, Evie, and Mal." I care for you so much more, Jay thought. "I know you're not the fighting type but at least let us help you."

Carlos smiled. "Thanks, man. I care about you guys too, but I don't need help. Honestly, I'm fine. I know you try to help, I see how you tackle Chad every chance you get when you're on the field." He noticed that Jay would mess with him after Chad would make a harsh remark to Carlos.

Jay looked away, suddenly embarrassed. "I don't do it for you, I do it because he gets on my nerves," he defended himself. There's no way he'll admit the truth to Carlos, he has pride.

Chuckling, "Sure. Whatever you say." Carlos grabbed Dude, "Its kind of funny though," he added as he petted his pet. Both boys laughed.

Although, secretly Jay would do something back to the guys who mess with Carlos, such as stealing their valuables. And, whenever he spotted Chad and some other guys who followed his lead, Jay would simply glared at them as if warning. He would never tell Carlos that he secretly keeps an eye on him, that's just plain embarrassing.

"Besides, nothing is going to bring me down. With friends like you guys and this awesome dog, I have nothing to worry about." He grinned as he rubbed Dude's belly.

Jay shook his head but regardless, he smiled. That's just how Carlos is and Jay wouldn't have it any other way. He likes him for who he is after all, but that wasn't going to stop him from getting his revenge on the other guys. Good thing he has help from Evie and Mal.

I'm surprised that the first chapter got so many reviews?! Thank you! I just had to write another chapter ASAP. Sorry if this sounded kinda cheesy, but for some reason I picture Carlos refusing help so he wouldn't bother anyone. Don't know why? Sorry for any errors, Microsoft has been glitching so couldn't use it.
