Chapter Four
Mal's POV
Morning rises bright and early, waking me from my gentle slumber. It's kinda weird not having Ben's arms around me or having him at all in my bed as I've seem to have spent more time like that then I thought and it makes me a little tearful not to see him in the morning for some unknown reason and I sit up to see Evie peacefully asleep in her bed. Reminding me of what I have to do for her today I am about to lie back down and nurse my still aching head when a pang of nausea over comes me. I leap of the bed, racing to the en suite bathroom, throwing up violently into the toilet. "Mal, Mal! Are you alright ohh god are you sick?" Evie races into the bathroom, pulling my hair clear of the firing line. Something I am rather grateful for! "What do you think this looks like Evie!" I snap in annoyance. "Sorry! Do you think this is connected to yesterday in any way? Do you want me to take you to the nurse?" She says quickly. "No I rather you didn't and probably. It's probably a bug or Ben's cooking. He cooked for me the night before last." I shudder at the thought of Ben's attempt at making me food, I had eaten it anyway though and is probably what is causing all this mess! "Didn't you have a bug the other week? Or were you drunk? Audrey definitely was I think she said she had the hangover of the century." She asks. "It's probably the same bug I wasn't drunk, I only had a small sip and I swear Jay spiked it with something it was absolutely gross. Much like this!" I groan before throwing up some more, she strokes my hair soothingly. "Do you want me to get Ben for you?" She offers. "No, think it's wearing off anyway." I pull away from the toilet as the queasy feeling disappears just like that, I brush my teeth quickly before heading to get dressed. "Maybe you should stay here." Evie touches my arm. "Nope. See I'm fine now and if I miss another day of school things are gonna looks a bit suspicious and anyway I've got to sort you out haven't I?" I smile at my best friend before heading out the door.
Carlos's POV
A morning of lessons pass me by almost as if they didn't even happen and soon I find myself at break with my amazing girlfriend and friend Lonnie and even then I find my mind wandering. Evie's having so much trouble with Chad and Doug, no one knows what's wrong with Mal and my beloved brother like friend is having adjustment issues but I Carlos De Vil am determined to help them all out with their troubles and I won't stop until I do. "Carlos, Carlos you're away with the fairy's today what's up?" Jane pulls me out of my thought track, I smile at her. "Nothing just thinking about my friends and there troubles, I wish I could help them all you see." I explain just as a very pale looking Mal stumbles in. "Mal! Ohh my god you look awful! Come sit down." I pat the bench next to me she sits automatically rubbing her head. "Are you alright?" Jane asks quietly Mal gives her a dry smile. "Yes I'm alright, think I have bad food poisoning. Last time I'm nice when someone who can't cook makes me food!" She laughs. "God was it Ben? Because when we were kids he decided to make his own rendition of lasagne for the class. Well let's just say there was no class for like a week! God that was awful! Swear he mixed some kinda potion into it!" Lonnie laughs Mal smiles. "Yes it was! I couldn't find it in me to complain though, he made such an effort for me." She rests her head on her hands before shaking her head and looking at Lonnie. "Ok so I'm gathering you all know about Evie's situation with a Chad and Doug right? Well she can't seem to get either one of them on there own so I was thinking that maybe Lonnie could provide a distraction for Chad and let Evie pursue Doug." Mal reveals. "Ok but how about I provide a distraction for Doug and let Evie pursue Chad." Lonnie smiles. "I would prefer it if you would distract Chad as Doug is actually a human being!" Mal sighs. "Look you asked for my help and if you want it I will choose which one I distract and to be perfectly honest Mal Evie and Chad are so alike! They both believe there the fairest of them all, they go great together and Doug is so innocent and sweet and him I wouldn't mind distracting as you say it." Lonnie explains, Mal nods. "Ok. I'll tell Evie." Mal smiles just as the bell rings for class.
Kissing Jane goodbye I follow Mal in the direction of class with the Fairy Godmother, I don't mind her as much now but Mal is still on shaky grounds with her ever since the coronation. "God I hate this class." Mal growls as we walk down the corridor. "It's alright, shame Jane isn't in it but that's really all I have against it." I reply. "I wish Ben was in in that would make it much more⦠Ohh god." She groans before racing across the corridor, throwing up in the nearest bin. "Mal, Mal are you ok?" I pull her hair back for her, stroking her back in a hope to provide her some comfort. "Yes, yeah I'm alright, I was like this, this morning." She murmurs. I slip my arm around my waist to steady her, a little startled at seeing Mal like this but I guess even the strongest of us can have a sick day. "Do you want me to take you to the nurse you don't look at all well?" I offer kindly. "I wish people would stop asking me that! No thank you Carlos and anyway I've got to tell Evie of what's been decided." She says a little sharply, I decide to change the conversation. "Yes about that your not to happy about Evie giving Chad a go first are you?" I smile. "Well to be honest the odds could still be in Doug's favor. Evie will give Chad a try and upon realizing he's a selfish no good douce bag then she will realize that she is meant to be with Doug as he cares about her truly and is not a self loving pompous asshole which is what Chad is." She gives me a sly smile. "Why don't we just let Evie choose?" I suggest. "What's the fun in that?" Mal replies, I shake my head tiredly knowing that this is going to get complicated.
Ben's POV
I don't have classes today in fact I am hauled up in my office trying to decide on a strategy to capture my girlfriend's mother and her friends parents. What fun! "You can have any number of guards you want you know, as many as you need for this to go down without a hitch." My father informs me. I nod in response, looking at the map of the Isle Of The Lost. A thought comes to me. "What about magic?" I ask softly, my parents look up at me simultaneously. "I doubt the Fairy Godmother would like that, I doubt she'd mind once you brought them successfully back to Auradon but I doubt she'd like to go into the heat of battle dear." My mother smiles sadly but neither of them got what I actually meant. "I didn't mean the Fairy Godmother actually. I meant Mal." I say quickly. "Maleficent's daughter? Are you insane Benjamin?" My father explodes with rage. "She took her mother down before, she can do the same to the others." I protest. "No. No way the minute you take her back there she'll turn against you, reunite with her mother and the other villains and they'll take over Auradon. What I propose you do during the mission is lock your Mal and the other villain kids in the dungeons until you return and their parents are placed in a secure location." My father suggests. "How dare you tell me to do such a thing! I will not do that to the woman I love and her friends. I am king I shall do this my way and if I want Mal there then I'll have her there and for the last time Mal is on our side she would never do a thing to hurt us. Stop attacking her. In fact leave me. I'll plan this on my own." I snap. "Your making a huge mistake Benjamin." My father warns me. "The doors over there." I snarl, my father begins to say something but my mother grabs his arm. "Leave him Adam, let him cool off." My mother says calmly as they both leave. Leaving me feeling rather pissed off.
Mal's POV
I twiddle the pen in my hand as I look at the exam paper on my desk, using a small spell I magic up a small piece of paper on which I explain to Evie what was discussed. It is returned quite quickly. "Ohh ok. Thanks for being an amazing friend and helping me out xxx" I smile at the message. I am about to send her another one when another pang of nausea hits me, I get up heading for the door, which slams shut the minute I reach it. "And just where do you think your off to?" The Fairy Godmother asks sharply. "Bathroom." I groan. "Ben's in a important meeting at the moment Mal." She smiles to herself. "No I am actually gonna be sick so please open the door." I beg, practically scraping at it. "She is actually quite ill, she was sick before class." Carlos explains for me. "If she was ill before hand why didn't she go to the nurse?" She queries. "I did offer but it's Mal." Carlos replies and before either Evie can pipe up in my defence or the Fairy Godmother can retort to make it look like I'm faking I blow the hinges off the door, darting out into the corridor racing to the bathroom, throwing up again. I do love Ben dearly but on the whole the people of Auradon are as thick as two short planks!

I will try my hardest to update quicker. Thank you so much for the reviews and for reading, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. There will probably be more action and drama next few chapters xxxxxxxxx :)
