No One's POV.

As the teens made their way out of the auditorium and towards the dorms both Evie and Audrey linked their arms through Mal's. Mal was still thinking about the perfect guy she had just laid eyes on but kept her ears open in case anyone asked her anything. But once they all started discussing dorm assignments Mal gave her friends her full attention, hoping she would be rooming with one of them.

"Who's your room mate Carlos?" Evie asked their youngest friend. Carlos was a freshman the same as the others but where as the others (Evie, Mal, Freddie, Audrey) were 14 the white haired boy was only 13. He was quite intelligent and advanced for his age and had skipped a full grade.

"Someone called Doug." Carlos told the group catching a certain blue haired girls attention.

"Doug's your room mate?" Evie asked. The white haired boy nodded to her. "Tell him I said hi and ask him to ring me later?" The younger boy nodded again before heading off in the opposite direction towards the boy's dorm room's.

"Something you wanna tell us, E?" Mal asked her surrogate sister. The blue haired girl actually blushed, something no one has ever seem the girl do.

"Someone's got a boyfriend." Both Mal and Audrey said to the blushing girl causing her cheeks to turn even redder. Mal, Audrey and Freddie couldn't help but laugh at their friend. She was making it all too easy for them to tease her. But they decided to take pity on the embarrassed teen and change the topic.

"Who are you rooming with Freddie?" Audrey asked the girl on the other side of Evie.

Freddie simply shrugged her shoulder's in response. "No idea. They weren't there when I took my bags. Any way this is me." She told the others as she placed her hand on the door handle. "Call you later, bye." She told the trio before entering her dorm room. This was much the same with the other girls. Each reluctantly leaving Mal to go to their own dorm rooms but Mal was more excited at the prospect of meeting her room-mate to notice their reluctance.

As Mal came to the door behind which she had placed her bags earlier she took a deep breath before gently opening the door. She looked around and found the room almost as empty as when she had placed her things there. The only thing different was her room mates bags were on top of the other bed now.

The purple haired teen was tempted to go and have a look but decided against it and moved towards her own bags instead. Mal closed the room door with a wave of her hand and played some music on her phone while she unpacked some of her things. She still couldn't get over how pink the room was but maybe her and her new room mate could redecorate. She just hoped she would actually get along with who ever it was.

Mal had become that engrossed in unpacking her suitcases she didn't realise she was dancing nor did she realise she was no longer alone. "Hi" A shy voice spoke. The teen spun around as fast as possible to face the source of the voice.

"Hi, I'm Mal." The purple haired teen introduced herself as she took a step forward and outstretched her hand towards the short brunette in the doorway. Mal watched as the other girl shook her hand rather timidly.

"Jane." The shorter girl replied. Mal smiled encouragingly at the timid girl as she gave her a quick once over. Looking at her light purple dress with a rather large pink bow on it, it wasn't hard for Mal to conclude this girl was Fairy Godmother's daughter.

"It's nice to meet you." Mal said sincerely as the two girls walked to their own bags starting/continuing to put their things away. It didn't take long for Mal to finish and she sat on her bed watching the other girl. "Hey, you're Fairy Godmothers daughter right?" She asked. She didn't want to pry into the other girls life but this girl seemed as lost as she felt being here.

"Yeah." Jane said but Mal picked up on the sadness in her voice immediately.

"You okay?" Mal asked. Jane even sounded a little lost and it was strange but Mal felt the need to help her gain a little confidence and to be her friend.

"I guess." Jane stated as she turned to face the purple haired girl sat on the other bed. All it took was a raised eyebrow from Mal before Jane began to explain what she meant. "I'm okay it's just, I don't know, I feel a little lost being here. Especially since I shouldn't be here for another year." The shorted girl admitted, finding Mal oddly easy to open up to, for someone she just met.

"Yeah, I get that." The purple haired girl stated gaining a confused look from Jane. "This is the first school I've ever been to. I've been home-schooled by my mom and aunt's since I was young so I feel just as lost as you. Maybe we can help each other fit in?" Mal asked the other girl. Jane was shocked at Mal's question but nodded none-the-less. It seemed like the two girl had made a friend already and that settled both of their nerves a little.

It was then Mal's phone came to life and pinged indicating a text message. As she looked at the screen she couldn't help but smile. It was from Audrey.

From Audrey: Hey, meet me in the courtyard? We can have a drink x

Mal didn't even have to think about her response, her fingers seemed to move of their own accord.

To Audrey: No worries. Be there soon x

Mal said a quick goodbye to Jane before leaving their dorm room and heading back towards the courtyard. On the way Mal couldn't help but look at all the portraits and photo that hung along the walls and as she came to the doors leading to the courtyard she was that lost in thought she didn't see the person in front of her until she collided with them, knocking herself to the ground.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't looking." Mal apologised from where she sat on the floor but as she looked up she suddenly wasn't able to say anything. Stood there was the very boy who had been on her mind since they had been in the auditorium, his teal eyes looking down at her.

"I'm sorry too. I wasn't looking either. Are you okay?" Ben asked as he held out his hand for her to take. Slowly Mal nodded to him and gently took his outstretched hand. Neither teens missed the spark that jolted up their arms. "You sure you're alright?" He asked the purple haired girl in front of him as she brushed some dust/dirt off her jeans.

"Yeah. I'm fine."She told the boy. #finally able to form a sentence now she had a break from looking at him. "I'm Mal by the way." She introduced herself, immediately hating how unsure and insecure her voice sounded. The purple haired teen completely oblivious to the pair of brown eyes watching their exchange.

"Nice to meet you, Mal. I'm Ben." He said introducing himself. Truth be told the boy was rather nervous to actually be talking to her. She had been on his mind since their eyes had met earlier.

The two smiled nervously at each other neither quite knowing what to say to the other. Until Mal remembered she was supposed to be meeting one of her pseudo sisters. "Um, listen I have to go. I'm meeting a friend." She told him as she noticed the brunette in question looking over at them.

"Okay, cool. Maybe we could get together another time? Maybe get to know each other a little better?" Ben asked. He had never even had a crush on another girl before but for some reason he was drawn to the purple haired, green eyed beauty in front of him.

"Sure. I guess I'll see you soon then." Mal replied. After the pair shared yet another shy smile Mal headed over to the brunette in pink. Upon reaching her Mal found herself pulled into a tight hug from Audrey. "Jeez Audrey I've been gone like an hour." Mal joked, not really understanding why the girl was reacting this way.

When Audrey finally released her she turned and sat at the table behind her, where two coffee cups sat waiting. Mal followed her example and sat opposite the brunette. "Here." Audrey said as she pushed a coffee sup towards the purple haired girl. "Hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows."

Smiling Mal took a sip of her offered drink but before she could even think of anything to say Audrey began questioning her. "So what where you and Prince Ben talking about?"

"I don't know what you mean." Mal told her sister, trying to escape the inevitable questioning she was going to receive.

"Oh please! I say the gooey eyes the two of you were giving each other." Audrey stated causing a blush to creep up Mal's cheeks. "So spill it."

Author's Note: I am so sorry for the extremely long wait for this chapter I have to take a while and figure out where I wanted it to go and with what pairings. So I have a couple of questions for you;

Should someone else start showing an interest in Mal? If so who?

Are there any preference in pairings? I have had a few requests but I would love to know what the rest of you would like to see in reference to pairings.

Should I maybe focus on the relationships between the VK's or would you prefer I carry on the way I'm going and show them engaging with the others and making new friends?

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think x
