{THIRD PERSON POV}
After school, Carlos was sitting on his bed with his computer on his lap. Parker was also in the room, sitting on Jay's bed, eyes glued to his phone.
"How to get out of the friend zone?" Carlos said, quietly as he typed it in the computer. Parker looked from his phone with an eyebrow raised.
"Friend zone?" Parker teased.
"Shut up," Carlos said, lightly, glancing up at the son of Peter Pan before he looked over his shoulder and saw Dude looking over his shoulder, "I see you reading over my shoulder," Carlos said to Dude before he petted Dude's head. Parker chuckled a little.
All of a sudden, the door opened to reveal Mal, breathing heavily. Mal locked the door so the paparazzi don't come in. Then she started pacing back and forth in the room, then looked at the TV, that was showing a reporter talking about her, and turned it off. Then went back to pacing when all of a sudden she felt her eyes flashing green.
"Woah, easy, girl," Parker told Mal as he stood up from the bed and put his phone in his pocket.
"What? You think this is so easy?" Mal asked Parker, angrily as she walked towards him, "You don't have people taking a photo of you every time you open your mouth to say 'Boo!' I mean, not that I can even say, 'Boo' but you know..."
"I'm sorry," Parker muttered.
"Carlos, don't you ever miss screaming at people and making them run away from you?" Mal asked Carlos as she looked at Carlos.
"You're thinking of my mother," Carlos scoffed, "And I was usually on the other end of that. So, not really, no," Mal just shook her head, "Oh, Hey. Did you bring it?" Carlos asked as he stood up.
Mal nodded as she was to give Carlos a gummy, when the door opened. Parker, Mal and Carlos looked up to Chad quietly closing the door. Chad stopped when he saw Parker, Mal and Carlos looking at him.
"Hi," Chad said, awkwardly, "Just came to use your 3D printer. Won't be a sec."
"How did you get a key to my room?" Carlos asked Chad.
Chad looked down at the key in his hand, "Oh, I printed it off the last time I was in here," Chad told Carlos, "Uh, you guys were sleeping," Carlos and Parker looked at him weirdly as Mal started to smile, "Look, I just, your printer's so much better than mine, you installed all these hacks and everything so much smoother than min-"
"Out," Parker pointed at the door, "Now."
"Fine," Chad said as he started to leave.
"Chad," Carlos called out, causing Chad to turn to look at him.
"What?" Chad asked, annoyed.
"Leave the key," Carlos told Chad. Chad put the key on the table before he slammed the door after he left. Then, Carlos turned to Mal, "Mal?"
"Hm?" Mal said, pulling out of her thoughts.
"My potion," Carlos reminded her.
"Hm," Mal hummed, "Yeah, um..." She held up a gummy for Carlos to see as Parker stood next to Carlos so he could also see it.
"So, this thing will make me say what I really feel to Jane?" Carlos checked.
"Yeah, I mean, this is a truth gummy, so take it or leave it," Mal told Carlos.
"Perfect," Carlos muttered as he reached for it.
"Hold on, though," Mal held it back a little, "Are you sure you want to be taking this? Because this is going to make you say the truth all the time, no matter what. And the only reason I am asking is I know if I take this right now, I would get myself sent back to the isle. Which it's not that it's not super unappealing but you know..."
"Yeah, I'll take my chances, I guess," Carlos shrugged.
"Okay," Mal's hand dropped, then all of a sudden Dude hopped off of Carlos' bed and ate the gummy right out of Mal's hand, "Oh, bad dog," Mal said as Dude hopped back on Carlos' bed.
"Ugh, man, that thing was nasty," Dude groaned as Mal and Parker gasped in shock, "And you? You just gotta man up," Dude told Carlos, who also looked at him shocked, "And while you're at it, scratch my butt."
"You heard him...scratch his butt," Mal told Carlos, still in shock, before walking out of the room.
"Mal," Carlos called out, "You're just gonna leave me with him?" He asked as Mal closed the door.
"Come on, you scratch your own all the time," Dude told his owner, causing Carlos to roll his eyes and sigh.
Parker chuckled, "And that's my cue to leave," He grabbed his bag before walking out of the room.
"Parker," Carlos called out, "You're also just gonna leave me with him," He asked as Parker closed the door, not before sending the son of Cruella De Vil a wink.
Carlos looked over at his dog. Dude had some-sort-of-grin on his face, causing Carlos to sigh and roll his eyes, again.
