Request: "can you possibly do an evie x male oc story, there's not many of these stories. And can it be set in auradon and the male oc is sort of a shy and nervous type."
Phineas had inherited plenty of things from his parents. Be it his thick, dark hair from his mother or strong physique from his father. He was physically the perfect mix between the two however, Phineas, despite the obvious similarities, couldn't help but dream of something better. Yes, he was smart and talented on the tourney field but what he had in skill he lacked in confidence.
It was difficult for him to make friends with the other kids in school. It was like there was a window between them and himself. He could see them but he couldn't muster the courage to speak let alone approach them. His stutter was even worse than the fairy godmother's daughter. To save himself from the social mortification, Phineas doomed himself to remain alone for the rest of his life.
It didn't bother him much, per say. Phineas actually enjoyed the solitude especially after growing up with such a loud family at home. The only real problem was that his self-inflicted seclusion had made his mother incredibly concerned. So much so that she had actually asked, or demanded more like, for him to make friends that school year. The woman patiently waited every week for any sort of good news but Phineas couldn't help but think he would let his mother down once again.
He was already half-way through the first semester and he had yet to even speak more than ten words to his dormmate.
When news of the future king's proclamation swept through the school, nearly everyone was shaken to their cores. Phineas himself didn't think much about the Isle kids attending Auradon prep. At that point he was more concerned with practicing his introduction in front of the bathroom mirror.
Things around the school remained about the same, obviously excluding the whole wand incident at the coronation. It was actually that night when Phineas had felt a new emotion erupt within him. He had already known Jay and Carlos from the tourney field and had in Mal his language arts and math class. But the girl in blue, Evie, was someone Phineas hadn't even thought about since her first day in chemistry.
She was easily one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen. And though her beauty was the first thing Phineas had noticed from her, the following days had changed his perspective of the Isle princess.
Evie was smart, incredible so. She had come a far way from cheating with her mirror and now fired off answers before the question even left the professor's mouth. She was enamoured by fashion. Her clothes were always hand stitched and styled together in such intricate patterns that enthralled Phineas. Evie was the type of girl who would put others before herself. The type of girl who would let no one put her down.
That sort of confidence in someone so small had made Phineas heart race. There was no doubt in Phineas' mind that he had developed a serious crush on the Isle girl. It was too bad that even a mention of her name had the power to turn Phineas into a blushing mess. The teen was ready to bury his crush and hopefully get over it as time passed on however with the girl distracting his thoughts in chemistry so often, Phineas had found himself nearly failing the class.
He hadn't even noticed the sudden decline in his grades before his teacher had held him back after class. Phineas couldn't help but wilt in shame as the instructor lectured him and even threatened to pull him off the tourney team. Phineas had felt so low at that moment as every time he tried to respond or even apologise, his anxiety built up to the point where he literally began to choke on his own words. He must have really made Mr. Delay upset as he had already picked the phone to call the coach and, after, his parents. However, before he had the chance to dial the number, someone had stepped in between them.
"Sir!" Evie exclaimed. "That's hardly fair!"
"Excuse me?" he responded in shock.
"You said so yourself that he has a high D in the class and last I checked that was still a passing grade. If he passes the exam on monday with a B, he would pass a full letter grade."
"I don't see how—"
"Give him a chance," Evie demanded. "There's no need to punish him when there is still a chance for redemption." Both Phineas and Mr. Delay stared at Evie in varying degrees of shock. It was the teacher who shook himself out of it first. His eyes moved to Phineas as though calculating his worth before he sighed.
"If you don't pass this test with at least a B, I will pull you off the team. Do you understand?"
"Y-y-yes, sir," Phineas stuttered. The man then waved them off with an uncaring hand gesture before turning back to the documents on his desk. Evie and Phineas then quickly scampered out of the room as though lingering any longer would suddenly change the man's mind.
"Wow," Evie drawled as she adjusted her back over her shoulder. She shot Phineas a smile, her lips curving beautifully around her teeth. "He's never very pleasent, is he?"
Evie waited expectantly for him to respond but frowned when all Phineas could do was gape down at her. She made a face of confusion and snapped her fingers in front of the teens face. Phineas jumped back as though he was burned and ran his hands through his hair nervously.
"What?" Evie asked coldly. "Didn't think a villain could be nice?"
Phineas shook his head rapidly, his denial coming out as random bursts of incomprehensible stutters and despite Phineas wanting nothing more than to grovel, he could not for the life of him say what he wanted to say. Evie nodded, her face stone cold, before turning on her heel and stomping away.
Phineas' stutters faded as he dejectedly watched the beautiful girl storm away. He was about ready to crawl back to his room and lock himself away forever but a sudden thought of his mother's disappointment made him stop. The teen bit his lip and clenched his fists against his sides. He could not let this go on any further.
It took Phineas a moment to realize he was running after Evie. He nimbly dodged students and faculty in his way and thought to himself how someone in heels could walk away so damned fast. It wasn't long before Phineas found the girl sitting in a picnic bench reading a book with an apple inches from her mouth.
The boy sighed through his teeth and squared his shoulders as though preparing himself for a tackle. He resolutely stomped over towards Evie, determinedly ignoring his sweaty hands clenched at his sides. The girl, noticing him approaching her from her peripheral vision sighed and closed her book with a sharp snap. She glared up at him once he was close enough and before she could open her mouth, the boy spoke.
"H-he's terrible!" He shouted. "Mr. Delay i-is e-everything wrong in a t-teacher rolled into one un-unhappy little man! Thank you for sticking up for me!"
Evie, along with anyone close enough to hear him, stared at him with slacked jaws. Realizing what he just did, Phineas blushed madly and fell heavily onto the empty seat in front of him. He groaned, covering his face with his hands and propping himself up with his elbows on his knees. He hadn't meant to shout at Evie and he was sure the girl would want nothing to do with him now.
"Hey," he heard Evie whisper from behind him. "Are you ok?"
Phineas didn't bother turning around but shook his head anyways. He couldn't even muster the courage to face the girl. The teen boy sighed heavily through his nose before standing up calmly and turning back to Evie. His eyes were glued to the floor as he quickly muttered an apology before he began to walk away.
"Wait!" Evie called. Phineas froze and slowly turned to look at the girl before his eyes dropped down again. "You're not very good at talking to girls, are you?"
"Not v-very good at t-talking at all," Phineas admitted. He wilted in embarrassment when he heard Evie's laugh and moved to leave once more but a hand on his arm stopped him before he could leave. Phineas' head shot up in surprise and made a sound of confusion as Evie led him back to the picnic table.
"Being a little shy isn't so bad," Evie murmured to him pleasantly. Phineas gaped for a moment before smiling down at the girl, his heart leaping for joy when she shot one right back at him. "How about I help you study for the exam. Maybe then we'll get to know each other a little more. Is that ok?"
"Yeah," Phineas whispered. "That w-would be great."
