Jane POV
Carlos, dude and I were walking around Auradon Prep Gardens to enjoy the afternoon sun. I'm finally not having to stress over planning an event so we thought this would be the perfect time to spend alone. We've been going strong for a few weeks now and luckily for me all eyes are on Mal and Ben's relationship.
" so I was thinking about getting a dog and Dude could hang out with her." I said to Carlos as we sat on the marble bench in the middle of the purple rose garden Ben had planted for Mal.
" that's a great idea Jane. What do you think dude?" Carlos says, wrapping his arm around me.
" Amazeballs!" Dude exclaimed. Carlos and I both start laughing. I haven't been this happy in my life. Is this what love feels like? I'll ask Mal and Ben about it later but right now they are on one of their weekly , escape the press, dates. Carlos and I just grin at each other until I hear a familiar set of footsteps in the garden.
" cmon Carlos, we have ROAR practice this afternoon. It's our last practice until the championship. Let's go!" Jay exclaims dragging Carlos up from his seat.
" bye Jane." He says deflated as he and dude leave.
" bye ." I reply, blowing him a kiss. I continue to sit on the bench alone until I hear more footsteps. I figured it was Evie because I have an appointment for a dress fitting later. I look up and all I saw was the smug look of a tall arrogant blonde.
" what do you want chad?" I ask unenthusiastically.
" I hear you have a boyfriend, who would ever want to date you?" He says. I stand up from my seat. He has picked on me for as long as I can remember and I'm tired of it.
" that's enough! I'm tired of being picked on by you!" I yell at him, he looks taken aback by this." I'm going to tell you something and it's brutal but I really don't care."
" you don't scare me" chad replies smugly. I feel people coming up and watching the scene.
" if my mom hadn't done what she did you wouldn't have been born." I state sternly
" what do you mean? Of course I would have been born my parents love each other." Chad says
" that's where you're wrong Charming. If my mom hadn't showed up that night and did her bibbidi bobbidi boo routine Cinderella would have never gone to the ball and she and Prince Charming wouldn't have seen each other at the ball which in turn wouldn't have caused her to lose her shoe . Prince Charming wouldn't have wanted to find her . The stuff with the slipper wouldn't have happened and they would have never gotten married." I explained. Chad just stands there shocked. I can't believe I was able to shut up the biggest blabbermouth on campus. Before I knew it chad was leaning on my shoulder in tears.
" I'm sorry I ever picked on you Jane. You were right I have so much to thank you and your mother for. I promise I'll never hurt you again" he sobs . I start to comfort him
" shh, it's ok I forgive you." I say rubbing my hand along his shoulder. His head then perks up.
" you do?" He asks hopefully.
" yes, how about we meet for lunch tomorrow and talk " I suggest
" that sounds great. I'll see you Tomorrow." Chad says as he walks away, grinning. I hope he's finally learned his lesson and has turned over a new leaf. I look down at my watch and notice it's time to go meet Evie. I start walking towards the dorms , more confident than I have ever been in my life. " I wish mom could've seen that, but she's cooped up in her work." I think to myself as I smile confidently for the first time in a while.
