     "Okay, boys! Let's line it up!" I yelled as I nudged Carlos, earning a playful smirk.

     "That's supposed to be my line." Jay said, walking over to me.

     "Well, I said it first."

     I smirked as all of them formed a line.

     "Assemble!" Jay shouted, and everyone followed.

     "Salute!" I then shouted while Jay instructed the rest.

     All of them pulled their masks down and started the practice.

     I noticed that someone else joined the training.

     The person and Jay dueled making us all wonder who that is.

     They're really good!

     The two stopped and the person showed her face.

     "Lonnie?" I asked as I walked towards the center of the room.

     All of the audience clapped and I glanced at Jay who seems impressed by her.

     "Not bad!"

     "You should put me in the team." Lonnie said, making the boys look at eachother.

     "Maybe we should!"

     I smiled at Lonnie, earning one from her.

     "What?!"

     Chad instantly went between us and looked at me and Lonnie in disbelief.

     "No, we'll be the laughing stock of the league. And what's going to happen next? We'll have girls playing tourney? Come on, guys." He continued, making me cross my arms.

     "What's wrong with that?!"

     All of them looked at me, who is obviously annoyed by Chad.

     "So?" Jay asked Chad, hinting my anger.

     "So? You haven't read the rule book?"

     Chad grabbed the rule book which surprisingly in his pants.

     "Section 2, Paragraph 3, 11-4. A team will be comprised of a captain and eight men."

     I rolled my eyes as he showed everyone the page.

     "Rules can be changed!" I said, glaring at Chad.

     "Yeah, and you're down a man! Since Ben had to leave to do all those King stuff!" Lonnie chimed in, making me agree to her.

     "Exactly! We're down a man." Chad said, shrugging.

     I looked away, can't even look at him because I might kill him.

     "Jay..." Lonnie called out to the current captain.

     "I'm sorry, Coach trusts me. I'm not gonna stay captain if I just throw out the rule book." Jay apologized, genuinely sorry to her.

     "If my mother thought that way, she would have lost the war."

     Lonnie walked away, bummed out by Jay agreeing with Chad.

     "Alright guys, practice over." I said, walking over to Carlos.

     I noticed him staring at Jane from the balcony.

     "Jane!"

     I abruptly stopped in my tracks as Carlos jumped over one of the blocks in the middle.

     "Hey Carlos! What's up?" Jane asked, walking over to the railing.

     Dude also jumped on one, making me go grab him.

     "Not much, you?" Carlos asked, not bothering to look at my direction.

     "Way too much, we were going to go with the blue and gold banners for cotillion but now we can't find the right shade of blue." Jane complained, making me start walking to the door.

     "That's a bummer. Speaking of cotillion..."

     Oh my god... He really is going to ask her!

     Tears started to build up in my eyes, making me grab my stuff and walk out.

     I first placed Dude down gently on the floor, slamming the door in the process.

     Does Carlos like Jane?

~~~

     I sat down on my bed, looking at the necklace Harry gave me back on the Isle.

     If I was with Harry would it be the same as when I'm with Carlos right now?

     Maybe...

     I was brought back to reality as I heard the door opening.

     Faith walked in dropping her bow and quiver on her bed.

     I quickly turned around and hid my face as I wiped the silent tears that kept falling.

     "Hey, have you already got fitted by Evie?"

     I looked at her with a smile and nodded.

     "Yeah, I think I was the first or the third."

     She smiled.

     "What color is it? Don't tell me we're going to have the same color of green."

     The both of us laughed.

     "I don't think Evie would make a mistake like that, she knows what suits everyone. And for you, it won't be a suit."

     She frowned.

     "That's exactly what she said! You know how mom and I feel about dresses, we're uncomfortable when we wear those."

     I sat next to her on her bed and wrapped my arm around her shoulders.

     "Don't worry. Evie already knows that you're the daughter of Merida, she's going to give you the best dress you have ever worn."

     "Thanks, (N/N). You always know how to comfort a friend." Faith said, hugging me tight.

     I hugged back and pulled away quickly.

     "I just remembered, Mal wanted me to do something with her. See you later, Faith."

     I opened the door and was about to walk out when Carlos was standing on the other side.

     "Hey, uh, are you busy?"

     I walked past him and ignored his question.

     "(Y/N)! Where are you going?"

     I felt a hand grabbed my wrist, making me look at the hand's owner.

     "Are you mad at me?" Carlos frowned, making me frown also.

     I tried to get out of his hold but he just tightened his grip.

     "Why would I be angry at you?"

     "Is it because I'm always with Jane?" He asked.

     I just glared at him and said, "Why would I be angry at you for hanging with her instead of your girlfriend, who you haven't asked to cotillion yet?!"

     His eyes widened and his grip loosened, making me start to walk away from him.

     "(Y/N)!" Carlos called out but I didn't turned around or stopped.

     I felt the tears coming again but I just shook my head and wiped the falling ones.

     I need somewhere to go.

     Somewhere I can finally breathe.

     Somewhere that makes me happy...

     The Isle...
