Thanks again for your reviews and follows. I'm really enjoying to write this...
If you want a specific scene, then I'll see what I can do...
You'll start seeing it in this chapter, but the students at Auradon aren't as nice to the VK as they were in the movies... It fits my plot better.
Enjoy,
Nick
It was time for our first lessons at Auradon Prep. Remedial Goodness 101... a class that - according to the others - was invented for us. How sweet of them. Not! It's not like we were all bad, more like the good kind of bad? Wicked. The thing was that you had to take care of yourself on the Isle and choose wisely on who to trust, as such it was easier to not trust at all. Not that I could talk though.
Anyway, Remedial Goodness. The only class we would have for this week. This was going to be torture, I just knew it.
"Welcome to Remedial Goodness 101," the Fairy Godmother greeted cheerfully. I hated this class already. Who is this bloody cheerful on a Monday morning? "In this class we will mostly go over what it means to be good. Are you ready for some questions?"
No? Carlos told us about the questions the Fairy Godmother had asked them and they all had to do with their parents. I'm nut sure if I could handle anything like that. Not today, not ever. The woman was dead to me, she hasn't been my mother since she tried to kill me.
"Perfect," the fairy clapped, when we just stared at her unblinkingly "Okay, so. If someone asks you for a favour, do you... a) insult them and send them away? b) laugh? c) take their voices in exchange? d) help them?"
I leaned back in my chair with a quiet sigh, stretching out my leg. It still hurt a bit and walking for a long time hurt like hell, but at least it was healing. Hopefully before all my stamina is gone. I miss being able to go sword fighting and running. Soon.
"Dizzy?"
"d) help them," the youngest in our group answered, sounding surprisingly bored. Dizzy was always hyper, well, not so always now.
"Correct. Next question then," the teacher smiled "When someone wrongs you, do you... a) kill them? b) report them? c) ignore it? d) order their heads to be cut off?"
As soon as those words left her mouth my hand flew to my throat and memories flashed through my mind. My mother and Stayne, laughing at me, when I was lying on the floor. Blood everywhere and pain.
"Dana," the Fairy Godmother called on me.
My breathing got heavier and I jumped up from my chair "I can't, I can't, I can't," I chanted under my breath and ran out of the classroom. I ignored Harry calling after me and Uma's enraged voice, I just ran.
"Be careful where you're going, freak," a voice sneered, after I avoided hitting someone. I looked up in confusion and blinked. This had to be Chad Charming, the asshole that Evie was interested in when she first arrived.
"Oh, look. Bitch is crying," Chad mocked "Do you miss your mommy?"
I backed away from them and hissed, when my leg gave out on me. I probably shouldn't have run this much (or at all?), but I couldn't help it. I had to get away, had to lose the memories of all the shit in my life.
"Aww," one of the girls cooed sarcastically "Look at that loser. She is so ugly."
"Audrey," Jay's voice cut in sharply. He knelt down next to me and spoke softly "Are you okay? What happened?"
I shook my head frantically and looked around.
"Dana." Harry skidded to a halt next to me and pulled me into an embrace.
"What the hell happened?" Jay wondered, when the boys pulled me up. Pain, pain, pain. Why couldn't it just go away? Why can't I just be normal?
"The Fairy Godmother and her stupid questions. She asked one about someone getting their head cut off," Harry hissed annoyed.
"'S fine," I mumbled "I'm fine. Let me go." I wobbled a bit, trying to find my balance and after I took a few careful steps I nodded. Episode over. I didn't care for them, but they happen and there's nothing I could do, except for accepting them as part of me. The thing was though, that I broke down in front of people and that couldn't happen again. From the sound of it they already hated me for some reason.
"Who were the people laughing at me?" I questioned Jay.
Harry snaked his arms around me from behind and pressed a small kiss to my cheek "Does it really matter?"
I smirked playfully "It does. How should I know who to torment?"
"That's my girl," Harry laughed and ruffled my hair a bit.
"We'll talk later, Jay. I'm sorry about that." To Harry I murmured "I should probably apologize to the Fairy Godmother now..."
"Why?" Harry exclaimed outraged "It was her fault."
"She didn't know and my reaction wasn't normal, so yeah! I'm going to apologize. Come on!"
We reentered the classroom a few minutes later to find the others talking quietly amongst themselves with the Fairy Godmother staring at the blackboard.
I shuffled forward hesitatingly, looking at the older woman "I-I'm sorry for, erm, running off like that," I babbled.
"Can I ask why?"
I shrugged dismissively and stayed quiet.
"Dana, we have to talk about this. You can't go running off whenever you feel like it," she scolded sternly.
My head snapped up and I sneered at her "I couldn't care less about what you think. You want to know why I fucking ran off? Fine." I ripped the scarf from my neck and stared st the woman with dead eyes. She would have found out sooner or later anyway.
The headmistress gasped and stared at my throat in shock "What?" she breathed out faintly.
"It doesn't matter," I sighed, anger forgotten "It happened and I can't forget about it, so sorry if that's an inconvenience for you."
"No, no," the Fairy Godmother shook her head "I understand. I might have been a bit harsh earlier. If you need anything or want to talk, then you can come to me." She turned to the others in the room "That counts for all of you."
I half-smiled "Thanks, but we'll be fine. We coped until now."
"The offer stands." The woman looked kind of emotional now... Awkward "Now, let's continue with the lesson."
I retied my scarf and sat back down to (not) listen to the lesson.
