By popular demand, I am continuing this story much faster than I anticipated. I am going to give my OC some romance in this one so keep an eye out.

This is a sequel to In Plain Sight so if you haven't read that one you might get confused.

Here we go.

Ah, another year at Auradon.

Technically my final year.

The name's Octavia Jones. My friends call me Penelope. It's long story.

Anyway here at Auradon Prep, we have the children of princes, princesses, heroes and villains. The villains are in small demand.

After everything that happened last year with Prince… I mean King Ben's coronation, we the villain kids were seen in a much different light.

Villains became more welcome to Auradon and heroes became more socially aware of their existence.

Take me for example: for my whole life I believed that I was different because I had two villain parents. I hid who I was for years, even went into a state of disbelief. Thankfully, my family snapped me out of it I managed to help take down Maleficent.

I digress, these are the memoirs of my final year at Auradon Prep. Something told me that it was going to be a busy year.

"Okay, I think that's it." I put the final trunk down in my bedroom.

"You sure?" My mom, Ursula, asked.

"Yeah, I think that's it." I made a double check of the things in my room. Potion shells? Check. Cutlass? On my hip. Pictures? Had a whole trunk full. Clothes? School books? Leisure books? Any other random thing that I would need throughout the year? Check, check and double check.

"Are you absolutely sure?" My dad, Killian, sat down on one of the trunks.

I knew my parents didn't want to leave me yet. But they couldn't stay for the whole year.

"Yes, guys. I have everything that I need." Dad got up off of the trunk and stood next to mom. I had to admit, they still acted like the same overprotective parents I had while I was growing up. Even as I am now, a seventeen year old pirate with eight tentacles and a pretty decent GPA.

"Don't forget about me." Jamie came into the crowded room. After the completion of his teaching degree, he was offered a position here as the ancient languages teacher's assistant. He took it up almost instantly and starts this year.

I have to say, it'll be fun to hang out with my big brother again. Especially where he and I don't have to hide any tentacles and we can spar in the open. Plus we can keep tabs on each other.

Also Avery, his forever crush and the daughter of Ariel and Eric, is the TA for music so I felt like he might try to talk to her.

Or I can stick them together by accident or something.

"How could we, son?" Dad questioned. I had to admit, Jamie had really started taking after dad. Everything from his wind swept hair and pirate stubble to his height and build. I could tell I was already taking after mom. I even dyed a chunk for my short hair white to keep things interesting.

As we watched mom and dad sail away on the Jolly Roger, the sun was just setting into a warm orange and red.

"Okay, Oct, you ready for your final year of Auradon?" Jamie asked as we walked back to the school.

Because Jamie was a TA, he had to come a day early so I just decided to come with to save mom and dad the trip. I knew I would be getting a roommate this year, I just didn't know who it would be.

After Jamie went to a meeting with the other staff members, I started to unpack my room. I kept my distance from the other side where I knew my roommate would be living for the rest of the year. I managed to bring my on sheets (purple and grey vines that reminded me of Neverland) and about three extra pillows this year (I'd usually forgotten in the past years) and my favourite blanket from when I spent a week in Arendale.

I put as many pictures up as I could and found room for my posters as well (I was a massive fan of the ScareCrows… they're a band from Oz) and even found room for my computer, potion shells and my cutlass. I remembered to bring a small shoe rack this year and put all of my shoes (and by all I mean my three pairs). Hopefully my new roommate would use it too.

I unpacked all of my books (I ran out of room very fast) and decided to go for a walk before tackling my clothes.

I managed to have a seat on the docks for about three minutes before someone sat down next to me. Knowing it wasn't a student, I turned to see who I thought was my brother.

It was Avery, daughter of Ariel and Eric and TA of music… and the person my brother considers 'his one true love'. She was certainly pretty; red hair tied back into a braid, tall figure, green eyes and I heard when she brought out her tail it looked amazing.

"I take it the staff meeting is over then?"

She looked at me. "Yes, it ended about a minute ago. I had to come to the waters."

I looked down and saw her toes just touching the water. I completely forgot that mermaids couldn't be away from the water for too long. I felt like an idiot.

"You're Jamie's… I mean Mr. Jones' sister, correct?"

"Uh, yeah. My name is Octavia. Everyone calls me Penelope, though." I stared off into the horizon where only a splinter of the sun was.

"It's nice to meet you. I heard all about you from your brother. He speaks highly of you." Her voice was very calming, almost like the waves.

By the time I was back in my room, it felt like midnight. I was exhausted.

Avery and I stayed down at the docks for about an hour until the sun was officially gone for the day. She seemed really nice.

I managed to change into my pajamas (and remembered that I forgot to even unpack my clothes) and put my shoes on the shoe rack. As for my clothes, I just tossed them in one of the empty trunks and decided that I would unpack the rest of my stuff tomorrow and try and find someone that I know.

After putting my glasses on my nightstand (I refused to use magic to fix my eyesight), it didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

Whoever invented the alarm clock deserved to be kicked.

Mine went off at seven on the dot. It managed to stop when one of my tentacles came out and slammed it against the wall.

I guess it was time to get up. And unpack the rest of my things before my unknown roommate got here.

I didn't even bother changing out of my pajamas when I started to unpack my clothes. Honestly why do I have so many clothes? I didn't even wear half of them most of the time.

I propped up my hamper and threw yesterday's jeans and t shirt in along with my dirty socks. Along the way, I found what I would wear today; my purple jersey style shirt, blue jeans and a fresh pair of socks.

After changing into that and making my bed, I placed my pajamas at the foot of the bed all folded neatly. I took a step back and admired my side of the room. My trunks, now flattened via magic, were placed under by bed and out of sight. I only realized the time was ten and decided that maybe I should check on Jamie.

As I opened the door, someone tried to knock and managed to knock on my head. I grabbed my head. "Ouch!"

"Oh magic! Are you okay? I am so sorry!" A female voice rang out.

Still holding the spot where she knocked, I smiled. "Its fine, no harm no foul." I stepped out of the way while she dragged her things into the room. I guess this is my new roommate. "I take it that you're my roommate." I moved my hand away and got a better look at her. Long blonde hair and a green sun dress. Her eyes were blue… I'd seen her before somewhere.

"Yeah, I just transferred from Neverland." She turned to face me and it clicked. Realization must have been on my face because she looked like she'd seen a ghost. "O-Octavia Jones?"

I hardened my face and brought fourth my tentacles. "It's been a long time, Natasha Bell."

There we have it. The first chapter of Now Or Neverland. I plan on making this one much longer than In Plain Sight. Probably at least 10 chapters or so.

Hope to hearfrom you guys soon. The faster you review the faster I update.
