A/N: I don't own anything other than my original character
"The twins are here!"
"Get out of their way!"
"Don't look them in the eye!"
Hearing the whispers of their fellow students, the fraternal twin daughters of Maleficent smirked at each other. They loved this; they thrived on the feeling of others cowering at merely the sight of them. As they walked down the hallway, the oldest of twins – by ten minutes, which she was always very quick to remind her sister – looked around, taking in the familiar surroundings.
"Mal, does something feel different to you?" Leficent – though she preferred to go by Lefi – asked, looking over at her sister. The taller – by half of an inch, which she often lorded over sister in exchange for constantly hearing about being younger – sister, smirked at her twin.
"It does, Lef." she replied. Looking around, the purple-haired girl figured out why. "Check it out. Fresh meat." Following her sister's gaze, Lefi chuckled evilly as she saw a new student. She couldn't help but notice her vibrant blue hair and – if she was being honest with herself – stylish outfit. Before she could walk over, their longtime friend, Jay, appeared in front of them. "Jay." Mal greeted.
"Hey, guys." Lefi raised an eyebrow.
"You're in my way." she commented.
"According to you, I'm always in your way." Jay pointed out. The girls chuckled. "By the way, I'm not sure how I feel about the blonde hair. I liked the green better." he said, grabbing the end of her shorter girl rolled her eyes; she'd recently dyed her hair from her natural green to a dark shade of blonde.
"Really, Jay? That's what you're focusing on right now?" she asked. The boy shrugged. "Don't you have something to steal?"
"I already did." he replied, smirking. Opening his hand, a red heart necklace dangled from his fingers. "Swiped it from that new girl." Lefi grabbed it from him. "Hey!"
"The new girl is ours." she declared, running her finger over the pendant before turning to her sister. "Let's go welcome her to Dragon Hall."
"What are you going to do with the necklace?" Mal asked as they walked over to the taller girl. Lefi looked back at the necklace in her hand before shrugging.
"I'll give it back to her – this time. It is her first day, after all." she said. Mal looked over at her. "What are we going to do with a heart necklace, M?"
"Sell it?" Mal suggested. Holding it up, Lefi observed it for a moment, nodding thoughtfully.
"Do you think we could get much for it?" she asked. Mal shrugged, looking at it. "What do you want to do?"
"Let's give it back to her. Jay will most likely steal it again. If he does-"
"We'll sell it." Lefi finished, grinning at her sister. Mal nodded, turning her head toward the new girl. "Let's go." The trio made their way over to the girl, with Mal slamming the open locker door shut when they were close enough. When the girl jumped, all three smirked.
"H-hi. Can I help you?" she asked. Lefi gave a fake smile.
"What's your name?" The girl smiled nervously.
"I'm Evie, Evil Queen's daughter."
"Look at that, guys! We've got a princess in our midst." the blonde said, laughing with her sister. Evie looked down self-consciously as the boy smirked at his friends.
"Now the necklace makes sense." Jay mumbled, causing Lefi and Mal to nod in agreement. Looking up at Evie, the boy sent her a charming smile. "I'm Jay, Jafar's son." Evie nodded, glancing briefly at Mal before setting her sights on Lefi. There was something about the blonde that… intrigued the blue-haired girl.
"I'm Lefi. This is my sister, Mal."
"Who are your parents?" Evie asked. Lefi smirked.
"You don't need to know." she replied. Evie raised an eyebrow, looking back at Mal for a moment before turning back to Lefi. "I found something that you might want."
"What's that?" Evie asked, smiling at the blonde. When the girl held out her necklace, her hand immediately flew to her neck. Staring at the familiar pendant, she reached for it only to have it pulled out of her reach. "How did you get that?"
"You're out of your league here, sweetheart. The three of us, we have our ways of getting things." Lefi replied. Evie glared at the girl. "Fortunately for you, we're going to give it back to you – this time." The blue-haired girl reached for the necklace again, growling when it was once again pulled out of her reach. "You need to stop being so grabby. You'll get it back, don't worry."
"You'll have to forgive me for not trusting a thief." Evie snapped, earning a raised eyebrow from the trio across from her. At the girl's tone, Lefi narrowed her eyes.
"You're a feisty one, aren't you?" she asked. Evie nodded. "I'm not a fan. What about you, M?"
"Can't say I am. Jay?" The boy shrugged.
"Actually, I don't mind it." The twins rolled their eyes and Lefi turned back to Evie.
"We're going to give you a break seeing as it's your first day." she said.
"That's very generous of you." Evie replied sarcastically. Lefi smirked, holding out the necklace. When Evie grabbed it, her fingers briefly brushed against the blonde's causing the shorter girl to glance down at their fingers before yanking her hand away. At the quick reaction, Mal and Jay shared a confused look before shrugging it off.
Across from the blonde, Evie had the same feeling when her fingers brushed against Lefi's. Blushing, she looked away from the blonde, clearing her throat before slipping her necklace back on. "Thank you." she whispered, looking back at Lefi.
"Yeah." The blonde cleared her throat. "You should keep better track of your stuff. You won't be getting any more of it back." Evie sighed, but nodded. "Watch your back, Princess." Lefi warned, pushing past the taller girl with her sister and Jay following. Turning around, Evie watching in confusion, her fingers coming up to touch the heart pendant that rested near her own. Staring down at the fingers, she couldn't help but smile as she thought about the blonde she'd just met. There was something about her that fascinated her. She just couldn't quite place her finger on it.
A couple of hours later, Lefi walked into her Weird Sciences class to find Evie sitting in the front row. Chuckling, she walked over, placing a hand on the table in front of the girl. "You're one of those, huh?" she asked.
"One of what?" Evie asked, looking up at the blonde. Lefi glanced at the chalkboard before turning back to Evie.
"Front row people. Only the nerds sit up here." she explained.
"This is the Isle of the Lost. Is there such thing as a nerd here?" Lefi laughed.
"Yes, Princess, there is. They usually sit in the front row." Evie shrugged.
"Then I guess I'm a nerd." she replied. Raising an eyebrow, the shorter girl leaned forward so she was inches away from Evie's face, causing the breath to catch in the blue-haired girl's throat.
"I don't like you." she declared lowly.
"Why not?" Evie whispered, glancing down at Lefi's lips before looking back up to her eyes.
"I don't know. I just don't." the blonde replied, swallowing before standing up. Watching Evie for a moment longer, Lefi walked away from the taller girl, moving to her seat in the back row. Glancing back, Evie turned back toward the front with a small smile on her face. She'd interacted with the girl twice and she already knew that she was having an effect on Lefi.
She just couldn't figure out why she wanted to have an effect on her.
Meanwhile, in the back of the classroom, Lefi couldn't stop herself from staring at the back of Evie's head. She couldn't quite figure out what it was, but she knew that the girl irked her. She'd only interacted with her twice, but the girl already knew how to get under her skin.
She just couldn't figure out why it bothered her so much.
