Our Past Lives and Future Promises

Chapter 4: A Rude Awakening

Mal

Mal sighed and pounded the alarm that blasted into her eardrums as seven o clock in the morning. She shifted her head to the right, seeing a shade of blue she threw a pillow and successfully hit her target when Evie fell of her bed.

"You know that's not funny!" Evie stayed on the floor, her eyes were still closed and she lazily threw the pillow back at her best friend.

"You know it is." Mal sat up and stared in the mirror and frowned. Her hair was scrambled in what you could describe as a birds nest and her eyes were overshadowed by the bags under them. "Evie, you have to forget about him!"

"I really don't want to." Her room mate grumbled, brushing her hair in the bathroom. Mal had heard from Evie what had happened and Maleficent's daughter couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Every time Evie would meet a guy she would gush over them as if he was the one and they would always turn into epic fails. "You always do this! You meet a guy, pretend to fall in love, then make a mistake, and you cry over them for days!"

Evie dropped her mascara and gasped. "How could you say that, Mal! You're supposed to be my best friend!"

"I'm just sick of you pretending like you've found the one." Mal defended, she honestly didn't think Evie would be offended by what she said. The purple haired girl stood up and approached Evie, who was red with embarrassment.

"At least I'm trying Mal! I'm not like you and Ben, you guys are destined together!" Evie began to grow angry. She bit her lip to try and control her anger, but instead successfully granted herself the taste of blood in her mouth. "I have to search for someone who actually cares about me instead of wanting to hold me as a trophy on display!"

She walked out the door and slammed the door shut. Mal rolled her eyes and thought. Knowing Evie would be back before the day would end.

Ben

Ben paced nervously inside of his dorm, flipping the ring on his finger over and over. Thoughts crossed his mind about Mal and about ignoring her yesterday, but that's what you're supposed to do when you're mad, right?

He checked his watch, hoping it wasn't time for class. But it was. Ben sighed and slipped on his messenger bag.

He nervously strolled to his first class, math, hoping Mal wouldn't show but she was there.

Trying to sneak past her he clung to the wall, but everyone knows you can't take your eyes off a villain. Mal whipped her head around and smiled, "What are you doing?"

Ben returned a warm smile and a wave. He didn't want to lie, but he didn't want her to become angry at him. "Just headed to my seat."

His bland answer wasn't taken well by Mal, her eyes flashed green, and for a second you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between her and her mother, Maleficent. "Why are you being so distant, Ben?"

"What do you mean?" Him? Be distant? Ben could have laughed if he wasn't in a state of bewilderment and shock.

He has told her everything she needed to know about him. What he loves, everything he hates, the special things he owns, she told her everything. Whilst he was an open book to her, she was like a locked diary, unable to be opened no matter how much you try.

"We never talk, Ben." She reached for his hand, but he pulled away. Hurt and rejection flashed in her eyes for a split second and as quick as it was there it was gone. "You've got to talk to me."

"I've told you everything, Mal. I'm practically an open book and while I'm wide open your closed." Ben shook his head, she clearly didn't see the problem. Several students stared, but Ben didn't care. He needed to get this off his chest. "The only thing I know about you is your favorite food, colors, and what you like to do! Nothing more, nothing less! I feel like I barely know you."

The King grabbed his books and stormed out, leaving Mal to wonder wether they had just broken up.

Evie

Chemistry with Chad as her partner and Philipp sitting directly across from her was the most awkward she felt in her entire life.

She didn't know who she hated more: Chad for being so mean and rude when she first arrived or Philipp for leading her on.

"Look, I'm sorry about last night." Philipp kept his voice low and his head was bowed. His eyes were scanning the chemistry problems on the table, but his mind was focused on the blue haired girl.

"I don't care." Evie gripped her pencil harder, enough to break.

Chad frowned and asked. "What happened last night."

Neither answered and just kept working. Chad repeated, "What happened last night."

Evie smirked and lifted her head, her smirk noticed by both boys. She dropped her pencil on the table. Grabbing Chad's jacket, she planted a kiss on Chad's lips.

Out of breath, she pulled away and smirked at Philipp, whose mouth was agape and his eyes filled with betrayal.

She then walked out the classroom, not caring how much trouble she would get in to.

Chads light footsteps followed her out, he grabbed her arm and spun her around kissing her.

She pushed him away in surprise and she felt as if her victory turned in to a loss. "What the hell was that?"

"You kissed me remember, I'm sure you enjoyed it and wanted more." Chad replied, his voice was always a trigger word to make her angry.

"I don't like you, since you didn't notice you're just a little part of my plan." Evie said and spun around, walking away as fast as possible.

"Your plan to what? Take over Auradon by dating all the guys in this school?" Evie whipped around, her cheeks red with anger. She approached him, moving close enough for them to share another kiss.

"I don't need to tell you anything." She spat back. "The only things I need to do to take over the world is my beauty and charm."

"You really think you're beautiful," Chad scoffed. "What a joke! Nobody will ever love you."

Those words broke her heart, shattering the confidence she once had. So she ran, leaving the school.

Carlos

"Where's Evie?" Jay and Carlos walked in to Mal's room and we're both bombarded with questions.

"Haven't seen her since lunch time, why?" Jay said.

"Was she actually eating this time? You know she just shows up at lunch for no reason." Carlos added. He and Jay began their own conversation, but Mal quickly interrupted them.

"She was mad at me this morning and now I have no idea where she is!" Mal screamed and threw her arms up into the air. "This is all my fault!"

"Mal, calm down!" Jay rubbed her shoulder, comforting her slightly. "We'll just send a search party for her."

In about ten minutes Lonnie, Audrey, Jane, Ben, Philipp, Doug and Chad arrived. As soon as they settled Mal said, "We need to look for Evie she's gone missing."

"Me, Audrey, and Jane will check the school." Jay said and he and the girls left.

"Lonnie, Carlos and I will search the castle." Mal modded towards Ben.

"Me and Chad will check around the beach." Ben pitched, but Chad disagreed. "I'm not looking for that witch." He then proceeded to leave.

"Philipp? You wanna come along with me?" Ben offered and Phillip stared at the floor.

"I'm actually with Prince Pretty, I'm not doing this." He followed Chad out.

Mal frowned and offered. "I'll go with you then?"

"No, I'll go alone." Ben nodded and left.

Evie

Rapid tears fell from her face and her smile was no more. Evie was quietly sobbing in the castle's beach house where nobody could find her, not even Mal.

'You really think you're beautiful?' Chad's voice echoed in her brain. 'What a joke! Nobody will ever love you.'

Evie pulled her knees to her chest and held them tightly, imagining why someone who would say that to her.

"Evie? Are you in here?" A strong masculine voice, who you couldn't mistake was Ben's, called out.

Her back was turned from the door and she sank deeper into the couch.

"What's going on?" Ben rushed towards her and placed himself at a steady distance. "Are you alright?"

Evie closed her eyes and a rush of tears spilled out. "I'm fine." She obviously lied.

"No you're not." Ben maneuvered his way and sat down next to her, but she was quick to add space between them. "Please tell me what's wrong."

"Nobody could ever love me." She gasped, barely able to hold the tears that were threatening to spill from her eyes again.

"Th-that's not true!" Ben nervously stammered. "Who told you this?"

"It was Chad," Evie sniffled and finally made eye contact with the current King. "He told me nobody would every love me, and that I'm not beautiful."

"You're beautiful, Evie." Ben stared deep into her brown eyes. He scooted closer to her and noticed that her makeup was completely smudged. "Inside and out."

"You really think that?" Surprise and hope twinkled in her eyes and a smile was close to appearing on her face.

"I don't feel like it."

Ben simply nodded, but her frown hadn't dissolved. "Show me what it feels like to be beautiful."

"Evie, I don't thin-" Ben was cut off by Evie's lips that was pressed against his. His eyebrows were furrowed, but his eyes were closed. His hand slipped up her thigh as they continued to kiss.

Mixed unsure feelings were suddenly thrown in the air, but this night was going to be a night to remember. Because not only did it ruin their relationships, but it was the start of Mal's revenge.
