Song Of The Chapter: Because Of YouI am so sorry! I haven't posted in ages! I know I said Saturday but I wasn't feeling well but I stayed up all night to write this!If you didn't see the update I posted before this basically I was going through some personal issues, but yes I'm back and better (not really) than ever!!!

The next morning was tiring for Mal. She had woken up to Evie not there which only made Mal laugh - she can't avoid her forever. Mal finally got up when she realized she was late for her first class 'Remedial Goodness 101' which just so happen - only she and Jay had.

As Mal got ready all she could think about was the wand and how they almost had it - if Jay would have just listened. After she put on her favorite leather jacket she was off to class . . . twenty minutes late.

As she walking to class she noticed everyone staring at her, she didn't know if it was because who she was or they heard about what happened at the museum - I mean, the first day Jay and Mal are here there just so happens to be a break in?

"Did you hear about the break in at the museum last night?" A petite brunette girl who wore a bright pink dress whispered to her blonde boyfriend as Mal passed them, Mal only assumed it was her boyfriend because they were kissing just before Mal walked by.

"I heard the museum got broken into last night but by time the police arrived they were gone." This time it was a guy who said it, he had tan skin and wore a light green cardigan over his white dress shirt, he seemed to be talking to a small girl with bright red hair.

"I think those Isle freaks did it . ." Now this one was funny, it was actually Jane who had said it but when Mal glared at her the girl was quick to shut her mouth.

Mal didn't care though, she continued to walk to class contently while texting Jay about what they should do next when she suddenly walked into someone causing her to drop her phone. "No!" Mal sighed as she bent down to pick it up, hoping it didn't crack

After she picked it up she got up and noticed who she had walked into, Prince Ben. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry. I should've been playing attention!" He apologized even though it was Mal who wasn't paying attention.

"Is it cracked?" Mal looked at her phone then shook her head and went to walk away but he grabbed her arm.

"Wait-" Ben started but was quickly cut off by Mal.

Mal huffed. "What?" She was already annoyed from last night and having to get up early in the morning for school.

Ben jumped slightly at the tone of her voice. "I- nevermind." He turned around quickly and began to walk away, Mal felt something in her stomach that she couldn't explain, Mal shook off the feeling and continued to walk to class.

Mal finally arrived to class and saw Jay sat a desk in the front with his feet kicked up on the table and eyes closed while Fairy Godmother's sat in her desk looking like she was waiting for someone.

Mal sighed and walked over to Jay's desk and slammed her bag on it causing Jay to almost fall out the chair and Fairy Godmother to look up at Mal who just smiled and sat in the chair next to Jay.

"Good morning Mal, so nice of you to finally join us!" Fairy Godmother welcomed as she got up from her desk and approached the blackboard, "Now, today I've prepared some scenarios, let's get started shall we?" She announced with a bright smile.

Mal rolled her eyes at the woman's cheeriness, deciding that it was to early to smile, laugh or even give her infamous evil smirk.

"If someone hands you a crying baby, do you, A: curse it? B: lock it in a tower? C: give it a bottle? Or D: carve out it's heart?" Fairy Godmother asked as she pointed to each question on the board with a wooden stick that looked engrave.

There was a long silence in the room and Fairy Godmother looked between the two students in front of her, Jay raised his hand lazily and Fairy Godmother pointed at him with the wooden stick.

"Jay?"

"What was the second one?"

"Oh, okay." Fairy Godmother said not wanting to call his answer wrong, not that he would care anyway.

Fairy Godmother took the stick and pointed to Mal who just rolled her eyes. "C, give it a bottle." Mal answered monotonously as she began to sketch on a piece on paper in front of her.

Fairy Godmother clapped her hands and smiled proudly. "Correct! Good job, Mal!" She praised but Mal paid her no attention.

That's how the rest of the class went, with Mal answering all the questions correctly while Jay gave half-assed answers, until Jay's roommate, Carlos, came in holding a clipboard. Mal glanced over at Jay who seemed to be staring at the boy intently.

"Hello, Carlos. What can I help you with?" Fairy Godmother greeted him with her usual bright smile.

Carlos strutted up to Fairy Godmother and handed her the clipboard. "Hi. You need to sign off on early dismissal for the coronation."

Coronation? Mal thought to herself as she raised an eyebrow at the twos conversation.

Fairy Godmother looked at the boy confused. "Jane was supposed to bring this over.. what happened to her?" Fairy Godmother asked as she signed something on the clipboard.

Ugh, Jane. The thought of the girl made Mal mentally groan.

"Uh, yeah, she said she had to go to a dress fitting so they sent me instead." Carlos responded after taking the clipboard back and turned around to walk out the room.

Mal tapped her chin with a thoughtful expression in her face. Mal continued to plot in her head as Fairy Godmother continued with her class.

After all their classes were over the two decided to go to Mal's room. They were currently in Mal's room brain storming on how to get the wand - Jay wasn't much help, Mal was always the mastermind behind all their schemes - that didn't end with them getting caught.

"I have an Idea!" Jay shouted while he tossed a ball in the air as he was laid down in Mal's bed and Mal was sat at her desk looking through her spell book trying to find something that could possibly help.

Mal shook her head already knowing how bad the idea was going to be. "I could make Jane fall in love with me, right? And I wouldn't agree to be with her unless she got the wand!" Jay enthused, even though he's already said that. . but instead of Jane it was Fairy Godmother.

Mal rolled her eyes. "Did you forget Jane doesn't like us - let alone you?" Mal scoffed and Jay sighed and sat up on the bed.

"I don't get it, how could she not like me.. I'm gorgeous." Jay said to himself and Mal couldn't help but laugh at him.

A good ten minutes passed and Mal was beyond annoyed that she couldn't come up with an plan, she even considered Jane again - maybe this time with a friendship spell? No, Mal that's dumb, don't cast a spell on the head mistresses daughter.

Jay suddenly remembered something. "Oh yeah, I found out that Fairy Godmother blesses Ben with the wand at his coronation and we get to go." Jay said casually making Mal's head to snap in his direction. He couldn't have said something earlier?

"You couldn't have said that earlier, you idiot?!" Mal growled at him. "I mean, my mom is counting on me and I can't let her down." Mal let out a heavy sigh.

"Woah, Mal chill. I know you don't want to disappoint your mom but we can do this." Jay said, "Because we're rotten.

Mal smiled. "To the core." She said.

There was a sudden knock at the door. Mal rolled her eyes as she got up from her desk and headed for the door. When she opened it Ben was standing there with his usual cute smile in his usual blue blazer. . . Did she say cute?

"Ben! Just the person I wanted to see!" Mal exclaimed as she out on her own charming smile.

Ben's face lit up. "Really?"

"Yeah, I wanted to apologize for snapping at you early, I was just . . . upset I woke up late for class." Mal confessed.

"Its okay! I understand, school's important no matter who you are." Ben said and Mal bit her tongue to stop her from saying something she shouldn't.

"So, what did you need?"

"Oh, I was just wondering if you guys needed anything anything." The young prince said smiling. This guy sure is nice, Mal thought to herself.

"Not that I know of." Mal said looking back at Jay and he just shook his head.

There was a hint of disappointment in Ben's green eyes but Mal couldn't figure out why. "Okay. All right. Well, if you need anything just. . . "

"Oh, wait! Um, is it true that we all get to go to your coronation?"

"Yeah, everyone goes." Ben smiled.

"Wow, that is really exciting." She said with a fake excited expression on her face as she twirled her purple locks. Jay could already tell she was already hatching a plan.

"Do you think that it's a possibility that Jay and I could stand in the front row next to the Fairy Godmother, just so we could, soak up all that goodness?" Mal gushed at the young king to be.

"I wish you could." Ben said sounding genuinely sorry that he had to turn them down, "Up front, it's just me, my folks and my girlfriend - well, if I had one.."

"And your girlfriend?" Mal asked innocently, her smile got wider when she got the perfect idea, one that is sure to work.

"Yeah. I'm sorry -"

"Okay. Thanks, bye. " Mal said closing the door as Ben was still talking, then she turned to Jay with an maniacal grin. "I think it's time that Ben got himself a girlfriend.

Jay cackled a laugh as Mal rushed over to her spell book, flipping through pages rapidly until she found the page she was looking for and her face lit up.

Mal slowly turned to book around to show Jay what was on the page. "A love spell?" Jay asked curiously as he got up from the bed and walked over to Mal.

"Not just any love spell, a love cookie. The person who eats it will fall in love with the first person they look at, so as long as Ben actually eats the cookie and is looking at me while he does.." Mal took a deep breathe before continuing. "This should work perfectly." She rubbed her hands together and smiled wickedly.

"Auradon as we know it will soon be overrun with villains who seek nothing but revenge." Mal let out an evil howl of laughter and Jay got a shiver up his spin from listening. Too much like Maleficent, he thought.

"You sound just like you mother." Jay admitted.

Mal stopped laughing and looked at him with a smile. "Thank you."

"Now, let's get to work."

The two read the recipe a good six times just to make sure they could have the things needed. After Jay had suggested using the school's kitchen Mal decided that it would be better to make them later tonight so nobody would come in.

This is going to be wickedly evil.

Later that night when the two VKs had snuck away to the kitchen, Evie and Carlos were in Evie's room. At first they were talking but Evie soon realized something was missing, her necklace. It wasn't the finest of jewelry that Auradon had to offer but it meant a lot to Evie - she's had it since she was younger.

Carlos yawned and wiped his teary eyes. "Evie, its really late, maybe you should look for it in the morning.." Carlos suggested tiredly, he really wanted to get back to his room and get some sleep.

Evie refused to stop looking until she found it, it was always in it's usually spot, in the velvet red box that sat on her dresser. Why isn't it there now? "No! I have to find it." Evie turned around to the other side of the room. Mal's side.

"What if she took it?!" Evie gasped and Carlos rolled his tired eyes.

"Evie, I doubt she would want some valueless necklace." Carlos groaned, he was on the borderline of passing out, he's only this tired when he's been studying all night but this wasn't one of those nights it's one of those nights where Evie doesn't need sleep and thinks he doesn't either.

Evie didn't listen she went to Mal's side and started to to through her draws, her bag and even her empty closet. Carlos sighed and started to regret coming over, he had tourney practice tomorrow.. Err today, Carlos checked his phone and saw that it was twelve twenty-two o'clock.

"Noo!" Evie let out a frustrated sigh and went to sit next to Carlos in a huff, It wasn't there, but who could've took it?

Jay was sat on top the counter while Mal did all the work, their plans worked best that way. Mal was mixing the ingredients together when Jay pulled out a necklace from his pocket, he had nabbed off Evie's dresser.

It was a gold necklace with a ruby red heart shaped jewel and a crown of diamonds that sat on top the jewel, it was a beaut and had to be worth a grip, if his dad could see it he would be proud.

Jay examined the jewelry in his hands and he thought about selling to some broad but he decided to keep it and give it to his dad and let him keep the money from it.

"Mal, look what I got?" Jay sing songed as he held the necklace up for her to see.

Mal turned around and stared at the jewelry. "Where'd you get what from?" She asked as she turned back to the mixing bowl in front of her.

Jay smirked and out the necklace back in his pocket. "Evie."

Mal shot Jay one of her infamous evil smirks. "Ooh, you bad boy."

Mal turned to read the book. "All right. It says that we still need one tear, and I definitely never cry." Mal said pointing to the recipe in her spell book.

"Let's just chop up some onions." Jay said grabbing an onion from the crate beside him.

"No." Mal whined, upset that the plan might fail after all. "It says that we need one tear of human sadness. And this love potion gets the best reviews so we have to follow it exactly."

"A tear's a tear. . . " Jay mumbled.

"That's not true, Jay." Mal said as she grabbed more flour, "They both have antibodies and enzymes, but an emotional tear has more protein-based hormones than a reflex tear."

"Listen to you." Jay said impressed and Mal gave him a smile as he reached across the table and grabbed more walnuts before popping them into his mouth.

"Yeah, I was actually listening in science class..." Mal said sheepishly.

"You wanna look up sad videos on the internet and see if one of them makes you cry?" Jay asked as he began to pull his phone of his pocket until someone came into the kitchen.

It was the small girl with bright red hair from earlier, her hair was in a fishtail braid and she had ocean blue eyes and she appeared to be in her pajamas.

"Oh! I didn't expect anyone to be in here." She said as Mal covered her book with a napkin, "You must be the new kids, I'm Aria, Ariel's daughter!" Aria didnt seem the least bit fearful as she extended her hand but the VKs only looked at it.

Aria then looked down at the table, "Midnight snack huh? Whatcha guys makin'?"

"Nothing special. Just cookies." Mal said and before anyone could stop her Aria put her finger into the batter and tasted it, when she saw Mal and Jay's startled expressions she pulled her finger out of her mouth and said, "What? I'm not gonna double dip."

"Feel anything?" Jay asked.

"Yeah, like maybe it might be missing something?" Mal pushed.

Jay took the moment to test out the love potion, he approached Aria and leaned against a metal pole giving her his signature panty-dropping smile.

"Hey there." He said flirtatiously but Aria only stared at him.

"It could use some chips." She said with a shrug and headed for the fridge. Jay shook off the rejection and went back to sitting on the counter.

"And those are?" Mal said slightly annoyed that she was interrupted mid-potion . . . baking.

"Chocolate chips." Aria replied, "Just the most important food group." She explained going into the refrigerator and bringing out a small bowl with little brown things in it and began adding them to the batter.

"Wait, didn't your mom ever make you guys chocolate chip cookies? Like when you're feeling sad and they're fresh from the oven with a big ol' glass of milk and she just makes you laugh and puts everything into perspective and. . . Why are you looking at me like that?" Aria asked when she noticed Jay and Mal staring at her sadly.

Mal cleared her voice before speaking. "It's just different where we're from." She admitted going back to stirring the cookie dough.

"Yeah I know. I just, you know, I thought even villains love their kids. . ." Aria trailed off again seeing their expressions grew even sadder. "Oh, how awful." She said putting her hand over Mal's leather clad one in an effort to be comforting.

Jay perked up, glistening on Aria's cheek was a tear, Mal saw it too and quickly snatched it and with a flick of her finger plopped it into the batter.

"Yeah, well, big bummer, but we have to get these into the oven, so thank you so much for the . . . Chips and have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow. Evil dreams." Mal said as she ushered Aria to leave.

"Oh, uh, goodnight." Aria said as she left. Mal turned to Jay with a sigh. Mal couldn't believe that girl made her . . . Sad. She shook the feeling off though, she knows her mother loves her, she just has her own way of showing it.

"Okay, Jay - cookie sheet, I'll worry about the dough and the oven. " The purple haired fairy ordered as she walked to the oven and turned it on the recipes suggested temperature.

"Yes ma'am." Jay replied as he went to fetch a cookie sheet from the cabinet.

This is going to work, my mother will finally be proud of me. Mal thought as she began putting the dough on the tray.

Jay sighed as he sat back down on the counter, at moments like this he really wishes he could call his dad - not that his dad would answer but if he did he'd only asked about what loot he'd stolen, Jay kinds wishes his dad was a normal father . . . And that his number priority was him instead of money . . Or stolen goods.

Mal kinda wishes her mother wasn't the mistress of evil but a normal mother who would be proud of her no matter what happened, Mal's excuse is she loves me but she has a different way of showing it but she kinda wishes she grew up in Auradon. . . At least she'd know what love felt like and if her mother actually did love her and she wasn't just hanging on to hope that in some way her mother actually did care about her well being

End.
