WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 31st

I sat next to my brother, Ben, as we watched people file into the auditorium from over our shoulders.

"They're not going to be as easily calmed down as mom and dad." I told my twin as Mr. Deley and a few other teachers trickled in.

"I know, do you think I should tell them who to be expecting?"

I shook my head, "The second you say 'Maleficent' everyone will lose their shit."

"I know."

"I think just the faculty and Welcoming Committee, let rumors flow from there. You know Audrey will talk."

Ben gave me a look basically telling me to stop at the mention of his current girlfriend as Fairy Godmother made her way to us and handed him a microphone.

My brother stood up, straightened his suit out and climbed the steps to the top of the stage.

"Thank you all for attending." He cleared his throat before continuing. "As you know, years ago my father: King Beast, banished all the villains from the land of Auradon to the Isle of the Lost."

I rolled my eyes as nearly everyone started cheering and the faculty tried their hardest to calm them down.

"Hold on, hold on." Ben spoke and the students started to quiet down. "Now, I've come to realize that the descendants of these villains who, up until now, have lived in the shadow of their parents' wrong-doings and deserve a chance to determine a path of their own."

"Woo! Go Prince Ben- wait what?" I heard a girl a few rows back.

"Which is why, as my first royal decree, I've decided to invite four students from the Isle of the Lost to Auradon Prep this year."

The same people that were cheering for Ben now starting booing him.

"Your brother's gone crazy." Someone told me from the row behind. I once again rolled my eyes and urged my brother to continue.

"Now, I'm sure you all have questions-" Ben got cut off by the boos of the crowd of students, "Okay, now let's all-" Once again getting cut off, Fairy Godmother reached the stage and sent everyone out of the auditorium, telling everyone to write their concerns down and bring them to the suggestion box.

Once everyone filed back out, I stood up and walked up the stairs to Ben, who was sitting on the top step.

"That could've gone worse." I said and sat down next to him.

"It also could've gone better." He ran his hands through his hair before saying, "I haven't even been crowned King and people already hate my ideas."

"They'll warm up to it, I did, Mom did. Dad is working on it." Ben smoothed his hair back out, looking up at me. "Just ignore them, you are King- soon-to-be King- you have to figure out what's best for your people, that includes the people on the Isle."

"Thanks Addy," Ben looked at his watch as he getting up, "I've got to get to practice, I'll see you at dinner?"

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16

Over the next three weeks things have gone crazy, not that it's not already crazy here but everyone knows about nearly everything that has happened due to someone putting up a camera and filming people in the lunchroom. There was a petition going around to suspend the royal decree, a couple of the Tourney guys took a day trip to Charmington, rowed out to the Island and took pictures of the place. Chad's phone got stolen and he got exposed for using girls to do his homework, and just earlier this week, someone put glue all over a table and Rapunzel's daughter, Faye Rider, had to get unstuck by me cutting her hair- not pretty.

I got into the library late and I already saw the whole Welcoming Committee (Ben, Doug, my friends Melissa, Ka'aukai, Vivian, and Carmella) sitting together at two tables that got pushed together.

"I am so sorry, Jane had a question about Coronation." I set my bag down on the chair next to the one I pulled out. "So, first meeting. Is this everyone?"

"Nope, I'm joining too!" I heard Audrey behind me.

"Did you invite her?" I whispered to Ben, who shook his head no.

"Well, the more the merrier." I forced a smile as she sat next to Ben, kissing him on the cheek.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20

Tomorrow is the day, the kids from the Isle of the Lost finally arrive. Evie, daughter of the Evil Queen; Jay, son of Jafar; Carlos de Vil, son of Cruella de Vil; and Mal, daughter of Maleficent. They are all going to be picked up in a limousine packed with candy- Doug and Kai's ideas. And will arrive here late afternoon, getting greeted by Ben, Fairy Godmother and Audrey, before getting shown around to classes and the dorms by Doug and I.

I laid back on my bed and pulled out my phone, pulling up the new Secret Camera video, showing the mystery girl taking the camera and telling everyone that tomorrow is the day everything changes and to be good, which I found kind of dramatic, but it's whatever.

I was laying on my bed in complete silence for about two minutes when I heard a loud knock on my door followed by whispered voices.

"If you're Audrey or Ben or even Jane asking about Coronation, the door is locked." I yelled, sitting up.

The door opened and Kai walked in followed by our friend Auriela.

"It's just us. Don't worry, no questions about Coronation either.

"Thank you." I laughed, "Jane keeps bothering me with all these questions she can just go to her mom with."

"She's never had to deal with a coronation and it doesn't help that she's on decoration committee." Auriela said, sitting at my desk.

"Well, I'm changing the subject, do you know what any of the VKs look like?" Melissa walked in, shutting the door behind her.

"I mean, Ben sent me something about them, just to know what was up, but there was no photos, why?"

"I just wanted to know if any of them were cute, plus Auriela didn't want to ask." She shrugged sitting on the foot of my bed.

"Well, I hope at least one of them are cute, I'm sick of the guys here." I looked out the window to see Doug and Ben putting up the welcome banner.
