Chapter One: Blue and Teal
Let it Hurt. Let it bleed. Let it heal. And let it go. -Nikita Gill
"Do you mind if I sit here?"
Uma looked up, surprised to see Evie standing at her table with an anxious look. Harry and Gil were also a bit surprised considering that Evie was part of Mal's group. But by the looks of that tight-knit group, Mal was sending glares behind the blue haired girl's back, something Evie may or may not have known. Either way Evie was shuffling trying to keep the balance of her food tray from falling.
The words escaped out of Uma's mouth as a smirk escaped her lips. "Sure Blue, you can sit." Uma could see a genuine wave of relife flood over Evie as she took a seat in front of Uma.
They continued eating, Uma switching from her group to Mal's table where the heir to Maleficent was, again, glaring at Evie. Even with this satisfactory glowing on Uma there was still curiosity as to why Evie sat with them and earned the looks Mal sent towards her.
It was Harry that beat her to the punch. "So princess not that its bad having ye here, but why are you here?"
Evie bit her lip before answering. "I gave you guys a second chance to come here." They nodded because it was the plain truth. If was Evie that vouched for the trio to get a second chance to be in Auradon, to get the same chance that the first group did. "Well I got into this huge fight with Mal, she went on about how you guys would cause chaos and shouldn't be allowed in here. I wasn't having any of it so I decided to prove a point, hence why I'm here." Evie finished the statement.
Uma was taken aback with what Evie said. Standing up to Mal, that was something unheard of on the Isle but maybe it was about damn time someone started to knock her off the high horse she rode.
"Well you are more than welcome to hang with us Blue." The genuine smile that crossed Evie's face made Uma smile.
It was interesting having Evie around their crew, she knew the ins and outs of Auradon that confused the trio on their first week being in the school. She helped them out, having study group sessions and even though Uma wouldn't say this out loud it was nice having another girl in her circle of friends. Sure, Gil and Harry were the best friends a girl could have but it was different with Evie. She could talk about different things she wouldn't have with the boys.
In someways, Evie was a better friend than Mal was back in the old days on the Isle.
For the Sea trio, it was finding their footing in Auradon. Evie coaxed them to try somethings out, Harry and Uma decided to try-out for ROAR while Gil, much to the surprise of everyone, integrated himself in the culinary club. Evie could see good changes in her new friends, it made her happy. But the coldness her friends sent to her made it hard for Evie.
Ever since their fight Mal gave her the cod shoulder, something that Evie was used to since she and her mother was banned after she didn't invite Mal to her fifth birthday party. Evie gave her a chance but now it felt like the day she had to hide. She wasn't backing down on her opinions, she enjoyed being with Uma, Harry and Gil.
They were loud just like her. She taught Harry and Uma how to expertly apply eyeliner, telling Uma to go bold with the colors for her lipsticks. She and Gil finding the best recipes and experimenting different ways for a simple recipe.
Evie missed Jay and Carlos, glancing at them during Goodness class or across the halls, she missed her brothers. But Mal... it was different with her. Sure, she was the shoulder to cry. She was Mal but she never seemed to care. Whenever Evie rambled on about a new dress or material to add in her clothing collection, Mal would nod but with no interest whatsoever. Her green eyes bored with Evie's words.
She usually changed the subject to Ben or her role as Lady of the court.
It was usually the hardship of the tasks, moaning about how difficult her life is now. Evie wanted to laugh in her face. This wasn't hard, waking up in a plus bed every morning, getting to kiss your handsome boyfriend of a king and eating fresh, warm cooked meals everyday. It wasn't hard to follow the rules of being a Lady, wearing dresses and having the eyes of the world on you with everything in place up to the last strand of her purple hair.
What was hard was living in a dome everyday, scavenging for food through dumpsters and stealing rotten, cold food. Waking up with the chill in your bones under a thin blanket, pain on your back from the springs in the mattress that was too little, it made your feet dangle just over. It was hard seeing the children that never made it past after three or four or five because they didn't have the exact medication of food to survive.
But god forbid memorizing a speech Mal, Evie would never say that out loud.
Because she was a good friend. She would always be a good friend to Mal, that's what their friendship was built on with Evie listening, always listening.
Ben would be one of the few people in their friend group, along with other AK's like Doug and Lonnie who supported the inclusion of more VK's from the Isle. With Evie on non-speaking terms with Mal that didn't stop her from continuing her work with Ben on bringing more children of the Isle to Auradon. Ben even suggested that she bring Uma in to be another council member for the project, something that Evie wholeheartedly agreed too. When she told Uma about Ben's idea, she gave her a single nod and asked her when the next meeting was.
That was a week ago and now, now they were making progress. Soon there will be more kids to give second chances. It gave Evie hope and looking at Uma, hope was inside her too.
They walked out of that meeting arms linking, walking to Uma's room. Rounding the corner, she was spotted by Mal, Jay and Carlos.
Jay looked away, eyes avoiding her filled with pain and questions. Carlos eyes were curious but he waved at her shyly to which Evie responded with a small smile. Mal glared at her, mimicking Maleficent herself.
Evie brushed the pain aside and with her head held high like a queen, she walked away.
They were the least likely people to befriend one another but they proved the Isle and others wrong.
Blue and Teal, thats what the girls called one another, after the colors of their hairs and the colors that weaved there way into their fashion. Harry and Gil became her brothers after Jay and Carlos. Fiercely protective, Evie became one of them. It took time but they stood by one another. Just as Evie stood up for them, they would do the same for her.
After all, what are friends for?
