Carlos told me about how Ben wanted to take extra lessons with him. I told him he needed it to. He rolled his eyes at me as smirked. We were getting closer, really close. But are we more than friends ?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay. Carlos, we're gonna do some sprints. You ready?" Ben told him as Carlos got ready in stands and give him a thumbs up.

"Oh! Ah! No, wait!" as Carlos was running from the tiny dog that was chasing him.

"Carlos ?, Carlos !" Ben said running after him.

Carlos ran as he hurry up and climbed up a tree.

"Ben ? Ben ?" Carlos yelled looking for the young prince as Ben saw him as he went up to the dog.

"Whoa- Whoa-Whoa !"

"Ben, help me! This thing is a killer! He's gonna chase me down and rip out my throat. This is a vicious, rabid pack animal!"

"Hey, who told you that?"

"My mother"

"Cruella ?"

"She's a dog expert, A dog yellerer. Why are you holding him? He's gonna attack you!" Carlos told him.

"Carlos, you've never actually met a dog, have you?"

"Of course not"

"Dude, meet Carlos. Carlos, this is dude. He's the campus mutt."

"He doesn't look like a vicious, rabid pack animal. Jeez. You're a good boy, aren't you? You're a good boy." as he climbed out of the tree and made his way down as he held him.

"I guess you guys have it pretty rough on the island." Ben said.

"Yeah. Let's just say we don't get a lot of belly rubs."

"Good boy. I mean, you're a good runner. You're... you're fast, you know."

"Oh. Yeah. Thank you."

"Yeah. Listen, I'm gonna give you guys some space, yeah? You guys get to know each other and just, you know, come find me when you're done, okay?"

"Okay."

"I'll see you later." Ben said as he walked away.

"See you out there. Hi. Hi. Oh! Thank you." as Dude licked him as he smiled.
