Hey fam, guess who's back? Hehe... yeah... I have no excuse. Sorry it's so late, my dudes.
FYI, This chapter is kind of just a crappy filler, but I promise the good stuff is coming soon. I love you all! Thanks for all the follows, favorites, and reviews! You guys make my day!
Anywho, here we go!
It took about an hour to get to Auradon Prep, and by then they were all a little restless. They wouldn't say it out loud, but they were honestly scared of how the Auradon students would act towards them.
Music started playing as they drove through the school's long gravel driveway. It was preppy, annoying, and made the VKs cringe. The school itself was rather cringe-worthy as well; all bright flowers and old stone walls. The hedges out front were perfectly crafted, and the students standing in the yard were all dressed in bright pastel dresses and suits.
"Oh my god." Mal muttered. "We're seriously going to have to put up with this? I can already feel my brain melting."
When they finally pulled up to the front of the building, the driver got out and went around the side to let them out.
The first one out was Mal. She declared her dominance easily, sweeping a strand of choppy purple hair out of her eyes and smirking at the crowd with a hand on her hip.
After her came Jay. He had a look of disgust on his face and his hands in his pockets.
Evie was third, steeping out of the limousine with grace only she could manage, and smoothing out her frilly blue skirt.
As soon as he climbed out, Carlos moved to stand by Jay's side. He fidgeted distractedly with the fake dog tail hooked to his shorts, casting the school an indifferent look that was the opposite of what he really felt.
After a moment of stunned silence, a middle-aged woman in an odd pink and blue dress stepped forward.
"Hello, children!" She said, sickeningly sweet, "Welcome to Auradon! I am the Fairy Godmother!"
"The Fairy Godmother?" Mal asked with fake interest. This was a perfect time to gather information for their mission. After all; this was the woman whose wand they needed to steal. She waved her hand in a way that mocked holding a wand. "Like, bippity-boppity-boo?"
"Bippity-boppity-you know it!" She laughed.
"You know, I've always thought it was so cool how you helped Cinderella with the pumpkins and, you know, your wand." Fake. It was all fake. If they wanted to fit in, they had to fake it. Ugh, all this cheerfulness was giving her a headache.
"Ah, yes, well, I haven't used that old thing in years! It's all in the past, and here in Auradon we like to put the past behind us and focus on our futures!" She paused for a moment and glanced down at the watch on her wrist. "Oh! I have to get going. I'll leave the introductions up to Ben. I hope you all like it here!"
Once she left, the VKs turned to the boy standing in front of them. He had soft-looking brown hair and soft blue eyes.
"Hi. My name is Ben." Dang. Even his voice was soft. How was that even possible?
"Prince Benjamin, he means." Interjected the girl practically draping herself over Ben's arm, "Soon to be King!"
So this was the guy who made the proclamation for them to come to Auradon. Not exactly what they expected.
"I'm Audrey." The girl said. "Ben's girlfriend, and daughter of sleeping-"
"Beauty!" Mal interrupted. "Yeah, I've heard the name." She sneered at the clingy princess.
"So!" Ben decided to stop them before a fight broke out, stepping in front of his girlfriend and bringing his hands together. He began a small speech, making his way down the row of VKs slowly and greeting each of them. Mal glared, Evie gave a small curtsy, Jay punched him in the shoulder, and Carlos eyed him suspiciously. He spoke of how this day marked the day when two worlds began to heal… or something like that. It's not like any of them really cared.
"Or the day you show four people where the bathrooms are." Mal said.
"Too much?" Ben asked.
"Just a bit."
"If you'll follow me, I'll take you inside so you can get settled in your dorms." He began leading them up the stairs.
Suddenly, he clapped his hands, and a large statue of King Adam morphed into a beast right before their eyes.
Carlos screamed, jumping up into Jay's arms.
"Carlos, Relax." Ben laughed good-naturedly, not noticing the true fear in the younger boy's eyes. "It's just a statue. My father had it built to represent that anyone could change."
"Does he shed much?" Mal asked.
"Mom won't let him on the couch." He joked in return as they made their way to the school's entrance. Carlos let himself fall from Jay's grip and, although still slightly shaky, followed the others.
They found themselves in an entrance room of sorts. Staircases crawled up the walls on either side, and Ben told them that it was the dormitory part of the school.
"Boys' rooms are to the left, girls to the right. Mal and Evie; you guys will be sharing a room, and Carlos and Jay; you will to. We'll lead you guys to the girls' room first so that you know where it is. Just… you can't go to each other's rooms after dark, okay? It's against the rules."
They followed Ben up the stairs to right, where they stopped in front of a large wooden door. Inside, it was somehow worse than they had imagined. Everything. Was. Pink. The walls, the beds, the curtains; everything.
Mal gagged. "Oh god. What the hell?" She stomped over to the window to yank the cotton-candy curtains closed. "Ugh, I guess it'll do for now."
"It's not too horrible." Jay said, shoving his fist in front of his mouth to stifle his laughter.
"Shut up, asshole!" Mal threw a pillow from one of the beds at his head. He dodged it easily, and it only made him laugh harder.
"Okay." Ben said, clapping his hands together to get their attention. "Now that you've seen your room, Evie and Mal, we should head over to the guys'. Unless you want to stay here on your own to settle in?"
"Alone would be fine, Your Highness," Evie curtsied.
"You really don't have to do that, Evie. Just call me Ben. I'll be back to pick you up for lunch in about half an hour." With that, he pulled the door closed and started back in the direction they had come from. "Like I said earlier, your room is on the other side of the building. Right this way."
Jay and Carlos's room was much less cheery than the girls' had been. Everything was mostly done in cool tones like navy blue and forest green.
"What do you think?" Ben asked.
"Eh… It's not that bad, actually." Jay said, walking over to the bed to the left and sitting down. "Dude. Carlos, check this out! This is literally the softest thing I've ever felt." He flopped backwards, and Carlos gingerly sat next to him.
"I'll leave then." Ben chuckled. "Like I told the girls, I'll be here to get you for lunch in half an hour."
"I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep on this." Carlos mumbled once Ben was gone. "It's way too soft."
"We'll get used to it, 'Los, trust me."
Okay guys, there it is. I hope you liked the chapter!
So the story is set as Supernatural genre, right? Well, don't worry, that's coming up soon. Free (imaginary) cookies to whoever can guess what everyone is!
