Chapter 4: First Night

"Hey guys," Doug said, drawing the group's attention away from where Ben and Audrey had left, "I'm Dopey's son. As in Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy, and…" As he was listing the names of his dad and many uncles, his eyes landed on Evie and he let out a shaky breath, "Heigh-ho..." Evie smirked at this, and I watched with raised brows as she sauntered over to him, hands on her hips and an almost dangerously flirtatious look in her brown eyes.

"Evie," she spoke, voice soft yet somehow powerful, "Evil Queen's daughter." Doug stared at her for a moment, awed by her beauty, and I smiled sweetly to him.

"Something the matter, Doug?" I asked with a pout, before whispering, "You seem to be turning a new shade of red." He shook himself out of his stupor, and I almost laughed at the glare he sent me before he continued.

"So, about your classes, I put in the requirements already..." I yawned loudly as he began what was sure to be a very boring school talk, and rested my weight in my hip and looked around the room to see everyone else avoiding entering the main hall. Shrugging, I turned around again as Doug continued listing classes to see Mal walking up behind him, unwrapping the piece of candy in her hand.

"...and, uh, Remedial Goodness 101." He finished, and I rolled my eyes.

"Let me guess, new class?" Mal asked, making him jump as he hadn't noticed her there before.

"Y-Yeah, sort of," he began, glancing at me for a second and swallowing; I stared back at him, eyes narrowed. He'd better not- "We almost added it a few years ago, actually, because some people -cough Sunnie cough- like to break the rules..."

"Oh come on!" I said, throwing my hands up and drawing the attention of pretty much everyone in the room, "One little mishap, and you're marked for life, apparently!"

"You let a bear on campus!" Doug argued, and I could see even Mal's face looked shocked.

"A bear?!" Jay and Carlos asked me, and I frowned back at Doug, trying to think up a good argument to that. I had nothing.

"He was miserable at that circus, and you know it," I muttered finally, sticking my tongue out at him. Mal, having had enough, finally stepped over to us, throwing her candy wrapper on the ground.

"Come one, guys, let's go find our dorms." With that, the four began walking up the left staircase - the wrong way. Doug's eyes following Evie as she moved past him, then he quickly snapped himself out of it.

"Oh, uh, yeah, your dorms are that way, guys," he said, pointing towards the other staircase. I scoffed at his flustered state, and waved to the others.

"C'mon guys, I'll show you to your dorms."

"So, did Fairy Godmother give you any more punishment for being in a 'restricted area'?" Autumn asked me from where she sat at our desk. I had just finished giving the new students their tour, and had immediately collapsed face-down onto my bed upon arrival in our dorm.

"No, she didn't, thankfully," I groaned, pushing myself up onto my elbows so I wouldn't have to speak through a mound of pillows, "And you should be thankful that I didn't tell her that it was your idea for us to set up there in the first place." Autumn shrugged, not taking her eyes off her alchemistry homework as she finished her calculations.

"I wasn't the one who stayed up there, and I certainly wasn't the one aiming a loaded slingshot at Audrey." I laughed once, humorlessly, and fell back onto my bed. I rolled onto my back, staring up at my ceiling.

"It wasn't like I was gonna hurt her or anything…" I muttered, then sighed. We sat in silence for a while as she finished her homework, me not moving until she was done. She put all her papers up into their proper folders, then turned back around to face me, elbow propped up on the desk.

"So, what are the new kids like?" she asked, a giddy smile on her face, "The boys were kinda cute, don'tcha think?" I chuckled at the statement -Autumn's priorities never ceased to amuse me - and sat up again.

"They seem pretty cool," I admitted, pulling a pillow into my lap and hugging it to my chest.

"Pretty cool?" she scoffed, "Ice is pretty cool, Sunshine. These kids are…they're…"

"Wicked cool?" I offered, smiling as I caught the stuffed animal she threw at my face, "Ferociously fabulous? Rotten to the core?" I played around with the stuffed - bear, i think - to make it dance, causing her to laugh and shake her head at me.

"That last one didn't match," she countered, and I shrugged. Can't win 'em all.

"Well, whatever they are, I can't wait to see how the rest of this year's gonna go with them here," she said, turning back to me with a devious smirk, "Besides, that Jay guy seemed like he liked you." I rolled my eyes, tossing the toy back and hitting her in the face.

"Please, he's obviously a total flirt, Auttie. He flirted with Audrey, too, remember?"

"He didn't kiss her hand, though…" she sing-songed, and I fell back onto the bed, laughing.

"Whatever you say, Auttie, whatever you say…"

After dinner, I sat at my laptop, trying to type up the latest entry to my blog. I stared at the screen, thinking of how to put into words my experience with that day's events. Autumn sat on her bed behind me, rereading Pride and Prejudice for what had to be the thousandth time and listening to her music through bright red headphones. I put my fingers to the keyboard and began typing, deciding to describe my first impression of each of the new kids.

I described what I saw of their behavior around the other Auradon kids throughout the tour earlier that day, as well as what I was able to see at dinner the previous hour. It had been…eye-opening, to say the least, at their reaction to the amount of food that was on the tables, let alone the different varieties available to them.

Bang! I stopped short and Autumn put her book down at the sound of a door being shut a little too loudly down the hall. We looked to each other, then turned to look at the clock. 10:37, it read.

"Who would be getting out of bed at this hour?" I wondered, moving from the desk over to the door. Autumn shrugged.

"Maybe they're going to see the meteor shower tonight as well," she reasoned, folding down the page corner as she stood, "Speaking of which, now's probably as good a time as any to head on up to the roof ourselves. You ready?"

"Almost," I quickly typed up a final statement, promising pics of the meteor shower, before posting the entry and heading out the door.

A/N: Chapter 4, finished! Not my best ending, but I'm super tired, so I'm gonna just leave it there for now. I'll post the blog pages sometime tomorrow - or later today, I suppose, since it's 3:30 am EST. Let me know what you think!
