Carlos grabbed his hockey helmet off the table, and followed his friends down to the pool like any ordinary day. He followed swiftly behind with his black helmet perched on the top of his head. Normally he didn't wear it until he was going to do something outrageous, but Carlos felt like something special was going to happen any minute, and he couldn't do anything with his trusty hockey helmet.

He stared at the carpet not bothering to look up, he'd memorized every twist and turn on the way to the pool, and could walk blind folded. He didn't notice himself start to fall behind, even if he did notice he didn't care. They would hold the elevator for him, they were good put some distance between him and the others, the back of Logan's shirt was all he saw before the other three rounded the corner.

He rushed to catch up with them, and as he rounded the corner, he felt himself smash into another person. Sending both him and the other person to the floor, he heard another thud after his, and turned to see who he had knocked over. Sitting before him on the tacky carpets was a small fragile looking blond girl about his age. He felt himself grow with guilt, and he sprang to his feet to help her up.

"I'm so sorry, i wasn't watching where I was going." Carlos held out his hand for her to take, he pulled her up with ease and she was still rubbing her head in pain, Carlos suddenly noticed how bad his knee hurt, he must have smacked into her.

"It's fine, I'm so short I'm hardly noticeable." Carlos was looking down just to see her face, but she wasn't that short, it wasn't like he would have to lean down just to see her, but he had a good 2-3 inches on her. "You're not that short." He said aloud, meaning to say it in his head. She looked up at him staring directly into his sweet brown eyes, still her hand was gently on her head.

"Ow, I think I hit my head on something hard." She complained still rubbing her head carefully, Carlos gulped hard knowing what she had hit.

"Sorry, I think that was my helmet." He commented, pulling the black hockey piece from off his skull. she looked up with a genuine caring smile, than held out her hand. Carlos was struck dumb for a moment, he noticed how bright her blue eyes were, and how care free her smile seemed. Her hair was layered with care and it was a cute dirty Blondie color. She really was a small fragile girl.

She was a thin girl and was shorter than Carlos, but he couldn't help but think, 'What she lacked in height, she made up for in beauty.' Her smile grew even wider, when Carlos finally took her slim pale hand in his. Carlos felt a grin himself as he watched her smile and looked up at him. "I'm Ellie Korsco." She introduced herself sweetly, Carlos again froze, leaving himself deep in thought, 'She's prettier than Jo, or any of the Jennifer's.'

Carlos looked down at her, not sure how much time had passed, not much considering she was still smiling. "Carlos, I'm Carlos Garcia." he answered quickly not wasting anymore time than he already had. She nodded her head to show she understood, and gently pulled her hand away, it had been still with Carlos's for several moments.

"I'm new to the Palm Woods, I just got offered a job to be a dancer in a music video." She explained, her mouth was still turned upward into a blissful grin, and Carlos was still wearing a goofy smile, like James with bandannas.

"That's great, good luck." Carlos said to her, boasting his grin from goofy to excited. She didn't say anything, but her eye's were dancing in delight. Just so lightly, he heard his name ringing through the halls, in the voice of Kendall James and Logan.

Ellie took this time to start making her way toward her room, she waved to him and still wearing a smile that could make it seem like she'd just won the lottery, she called after him, "I hope I see you around Carlos."

Carlos waved goodbye and as soon as she was out of sight, raced toward the sound of his band mates. Ready to tell every single detail, of this just so perfect Ellie, he smacked into. He was rather slow on his way back to the elevator, but when he finally made it, Logan, Kendall, and James were waiting with curious eyes. Carlos didn't hesitate to start off with every detail he could pull back into his mind.

- "Than she said, 'I hope i see you around Carlos.'" Carlos explained, still in the dreamy motion of his meeting with Ellie. The others rolled their eyes, annoyed with the constant talk of a girl Carlos barely knew. "Dude, you bumped heads and exchanged names. you don't even know her." James pointed out, completely fed up with all the bragging about a pretty girl, James was normally the one who got the girls.

Carlos looked at him shocked, as well as the others. They too were annoyed but would never yell at Carlos to stop. He shook at off and sat down on one of the four open pool chairs, leaning back and staring into the beautiful sky. The pool was busy as usual, guitar dude was accompanied by a few pretty girls, and Tyler was once again hiding from his over controlling mother.

"Whoa look at her." James shot forward, staring a beautiful young girl in a simple yellow bikini, sandals and a netted covering jacket. Kendall looked up and spotted her as well, shyly glancing back and forth, Logan also looked up, a towel underneath her arm, and a smile on her face. Carlos however didn't look up, he didn't need to spy on every girl that came by the pool anymore, his mind focused on one person only.

"I don't care James, I just don't care." He commented back, pushing his hands behind his head using them as a pillow, he closed his eyes and pictured Ellie's sweet smile in his head. The others kept staring as she made her way over to them, with a shy look on her face. "Is this spot taken?" She asked the boys, referring to the empty pool chair next to them, Carlos opened his eyes, slowly, he knew that voice, he looked up and stared at Ellie.

She noticed him and waved to him in a flirty way, the others glared at him wondering why she was waving at him. Carlos slowly waved back, with a surprised smile on his face. She sat her towel on the chair, and pulled off her jacket and slipper off her sandals. Than she went to sample the warmth of the pool water, just as she did Tyler's, rather large mother came sprinting past her.

"Have you seen my son? He's got an audition!" She was shouting in a high pitch whine, Ellie took a step back to let her through but fell off the edge of the pool. She screamed as she felt herself falling in, and the water began growing around her. Carlos jumped up, and watched her sink, and started to panic when she didn't come back up after several long moments, her body just stayed still under the pool water. "I think she's drowning!" Kendall exclaimed as he too jumped from his chair.

Without thinking about what he was doing, Carlos dove into the water, and started feeling the bottom of the water for Ellie. Finally his hand felt something soft, he grabbed onto it and pulled himself closer to whatever it was, soon he was pulling Ellie back toward the surface of the water. He urged for James Kendall and Logan to help him pull her up, and Carlos pulled up out of the water himself, setting himself beside Ellie, who wasn't moving.
