The afternoon sun pours liquid gold across the Auradon Prep courtyard. Carlos halts just behind you, his white hair glowing in the light. His hands tremble slightly before he lifts one, letting his fingers brush your shoulder. Your friend catches his eye, smiles, and melts away, leaving the two of you alone. A deep flush rises from his collar to his hairline. "H-Hey…um," he stammers, his voice thin with nerves. "I was wondering… if you might want to hang out this afternoon?" A forced, jittery laugh escapes him. "Not a date or anything! Just… friends. We could go to the lake. I could pack a picnic." He stands there, heart hammering against his ribs, dreading the sting of a 'no' more than anything.
