*Author's Note*
Hey guys, I am so so so sorry for the late posting. I am currently in the middle of moving so that's why I hardly have the time to write or even touch my laptop. I will also have to apologise in advance as there is a very high chance next week's chapter may be delayed too.
And Thank you to my beta (legend fanatic) for helping me with my story.

Spoilers: Well, the movie and a little of the prequel novel.
Auardon Prep – Monday Morning
On the first day of school, Mal walked into her literature class alone after saying goodbye to her boyfriend. She was the only one taking the class because she wanted to try something new. Ben offered to join her in class but it clashed with his economics class so Mal rejected his offer.
"Hey Mal, funny running into you here."
A voice submerged from behind Mal not long after she put her books onto the table.
Mal spun around on her heels, to find a smirking Gaston Jr standing behind her with his hands cross over his chest.
Mal instantly rolled her eyes at the big-sized boy.
"What do you want, Gaston?" Mal hissed under her breath.
"I'm having literature too." Gaston Jr said innocently.
Mal quirked an eye brow at him, "You? Interested in literature? Who are you? And what have you done to the Gaston I know?"
Gaston Jr smirked and shrugged his shoulders.
"Just a change in interest. Besides the view is quite amazing here."
Mal felt her blood temperature rising and it was not because his words made her blush but instead his words caused her to start losing control.
"Back off, Gaston. Just in case you didn't get the message yesterday, I have a boyfriend. No matter what happened on the Isle of Lost, I will never and I repeat NEVER fall for you. Leave whatever happened on the Island ON THE ISLAND!" Mal warned as she started to raise her voice.
Mal's words planted a goofy smile on Gaston Jr's face.
"I'm sorry. I don't have amnesia so my memory is still very good. Whatever happened on the Island is still deep buried in my brain." Gaston Jr paused and put on a serious facial expression. "There is nothing you can say or do that can change how I feel about you."
"Alright, class. Take a seat."
Before Mal could say anything, their literature teacher walked into the class. Mal gave Gaston Jr a look before sitting down at her table while Gaston Jr took the seat behind Mal, causing Mal to rub her forehead in frustration.
This is going to be an interesting class.
Gaston Twins' Dormitory – Monday Night
"Alright, Jay and Carlos are not in their room. It's safe to talk now." Gaston the Third informed as he closed the door behind him.
Heres and Ylma arrived at the Gastons' Dormitory five minutes ago and Gaston the Third walked over to make sure that the evil-turned-good couldn't hear their conversation while the rest of them waited around the table.
Heres nodded and started to mumble some words under her breath. Within a few seconds, a green and purple shield started to form around them.
"Alright, so what's the plan?" Gaston the Third asked not long after the shield came up.
"I went to the museum earlier today. The staff is not there."
Gaston the Third turned and quirked an eye brow at the black-haired girl.
"How did you know that?"
"Are you an idiot? I used a tracking spell but I wasn't able to detect it in every corner of the museum." Heres explained as she raised a hand to flick his forehead.
"Ow!" Gaston the Third flinched in pain.
"Alright, guys. Cut it out." Gaston Jr interrupted just as Gaston the Third put on his fight face.
"So what's our next plan?"
"I want to confront Fairy Godmother."
Ylma and the Gastons shared a look before Gaston the Third raised his hand to put it on Heres's forehead with the other palm on his own forehead.
"She does not seemed to have a fever, that's… Ow!"
Heres quickly smacked the hand on her forehead when she noticed the reason behind his actions.
"And do you have a better idea?" Heres gave Gaston the Third a deadly stare as she hissed under her breath.
Gaston Jr frowned at himself as he listened to the two of them bicker about what to do.
"Heres." Heres stopped talking and turned to Gaston Jr. "What do you mean when you say you want to confront Fairy Godmother? There's something you're not telling us, are you?"
A smirk started to curl on her lips as she nodded. She then reached under the table to grab a bottle of green liquid with a skull on the side of it.
"I may have taken this off the shelf from my dad's office the night before we left the Island."
"What is this?" Ylma asked as she leaned forward to examine the liquid.
Heres winked at her best friend.
"You'll see."
The LeGume twins shared a look before giving the girls a puzzled look.
Auradon Prep Tourney Field – Tuesday Afternoon
"Welcome to this year's tryout." Coach Jenkins said as he walked over to the bench with Ben, Jay, Carlos, Chad and the rest of the team behind him.
After giving the new students and the LeGume twins a short introduction of the rules of Tourney game, Couch Jenkins have divided them into two teams.
"Ben, Jay defense. Taylor, you're shooter. Chad, Gaston Jr, Gaston the Third offense." Couch Jenkins shouted as the boys ran towards the field.
For the first ten minutes, both team hadn't scored any goal yet but every player had their fair share of the ball. After another five minutes and before anyone could react, Gaston Jr started to charge towards the ball, within a split second a figure fell towards the ground.
"Ugh…"
Finally when everyone regained conscious of what just happened, Ben was seen laying on his back on the ground. His left hand seemed to be holding onto his right arm as he moaned in pain.
"Ben!"
Jay, Carlos, Chad and Couch Jenkins quickly ran across the field towards the king.
"Ben, can you try to sit up?" Couch Jenkins asked as he bent down to help the injured boy.
Ben nodded and slowly tried to sit up and instantly fall back onto the ground. Beads of sweat started rising on his forehead as he started to moan in pain again.
"Don't touch him!" Couch Jenkins warned just as Jay and Chad tried to help Ben. Couch Jenkins gently touch Ben's right arm causing Ben to moan even louder.
"I think he may have dislocate his shoulder. Taylor, Mike, you two head to the Infirmary to get a stretcher. We need move him without touching his shoulder."
With that, two of the boys quickly ran towards the school.
Jay and Chad shared a look before standing up. Jay stomped towards the older twin and held him by his collar while Chad blocked the younger twin.
"You jerk, what makes you think you can hurt Ben and get away with this?" Jay growled angrily at the older twin, not caring that the older twin was two inches taller than him.
"That was an accident." Gaston Jr shouted in reply as he struggled to break free from Jay's hands.
Gaston Jr's words caused Jay to be even more furious that he raised his right hand, ready to give the older twin a punch.
"Jay, he's not worth it." Carlos quickly cling onto Jay's arm to stop him.
"Carlos, let me go! I need to let this jerk know he better think twice before hurting any of my friends again." Jay growled deeper as he struggled to let his fist give a sweet kiss to the older twin.
"Jay, stop it!"
Carlos's shouting have finally caught Couch Jenkins' attention. He quickly ran forward to separate the three of them and to prevent Carlos from getting himself hurt.
"Jay, Chad, Carlos, you three accompany Ben to the Infirmary." Couch Jenkins ordered when he saw Taylor and Mike running towards them at the corner of his eye. "And you two," Gaston Jr and Gaston the Third turned towards Couch Jenkins, "I want to have a word about what just happened."
With that, Jay and Chad gave the LeGume twins a look before helping Carlos and Taylor move Ben onto the stretcher.
Ben's Dormitory – Tuesday Night
Ben was laying on his bed with his right arm in a triangular bandage sling when he felt a little thirsty so he carefully turned to pour a glass of water. Ben use to share his dormitory with Chad but a month before Ben's coronation, Chad was asked to move to share a room with Taylor as Ben needed the space so he could attend to his duties after school hours.
"Benjamin Florian, don't you even dare to move another inch."
Ben snapped his head towards the door to find his fiancé standing by the door with a tray of food.
Ben chuckled weakly, "Mal, I've only dislocated my shoulder. I didn't break my arm."
"Oh so you know you're injured?" Mal quirked an eye brow at him as she walked over to settle the tray on his bed side table before pouring a cup of water.
"Come, slowly." Mal said as she carefully fed Ben to drink some water.
"It's just a minor sports injury, really, there is nothing to worry about. It's really very normal for a sports athletic to, you know, have sport injuries."
"And how many times have you been in a bandage for the past year?"
Mal put away the empty glass.
"Err…" Ben stammered.
"My point exactly." Mal said as she sat on Ben's bed. "Hungry?"
Ben nodded his head and extended his arm to pick up his plate only to be blocked by his fiancé. Ben looked up with a puzzled facial expression.
"Let me help you." Mal announced as she picked up Ben's dinner.
Ben did not argue and opened his mouth while Mal fed him a spoon beef stew rice.
"Although I had received a minor injury, but in return I got to receive attentive care from a beautiful girl. I say this injury is totally worth it." Ben expressed in between chewing, with a goofy smile on his smile.
Mal gave a look to her fiancé with a tiny smile starting to curl on her lips with a tint of pink showing on her cheeks. She tried to fight the urge to smile but she failed. "You're an idiot."
Ben beamed as he watched his fiancé cleared her throat in hopes to try to hide her emotions.
"Oh, did we just interrupted something?" A male voice laced with sarcasm submerged after Mal fed Ben the last mouth full.
Ben and Mal snapped their head towards the door to find a smirking Jay along with a slightly blushing Evie and a smiling Carlos behind him.
Mal rolled her eyes at the black-haired boy and turn around to put away the empty plate on her lap. She chose to ignore him because she knew that if she replied to him, it would only make things worse.
"Hey guys!" Ben greeted.
"How is your arm?" Carlos asked, with his hand petting Dude's head.
"Ms Betty said that I had dislocate my shoulder and I only need to rest for a few days and I will be good as new."
"Fairy Godmother asked me to inform you that you will be excuse from school for the next week so that you can help look after Ben. She told me this was requested by Adam and Belle." Evie informed.
Ben and Mal shared a look, both fully aware why Adam and Belle made that decision.
"Oh, before I forget." Carlos put Dude on Ben's bed before removing his backpack.
Dude slowly walked over to Ben and gently sniffed onto the bandage around his arm. Dude even licked his arm lightly, causing Ben to chuckle as he extend his non-injured hand to scratch Dude's ear.
Carlos took out a small stack of notes and hand it over to Mal. "Here are the notes Fairy Godmother asked me to give to you guys so that you will not get off track when you return to class the following week."
"Thanks, Carlos." Mal said before putting the stack of paper onto Ben's study desk.
"What happened to the twins?" Ben asked.
Instantly, the smile on Jay's face disappeared. "Couch let them off the hook with a warning and they're on the team with us."
"How's the rest of the team taking in the news?"
"Chad seems to be the only one having a hard time accepting the news, well, after Jay of course."
Jay rolled his eyes at Carlos as he speak, "That's because Chad and I are both fully aware that Gaston Jr tackled Ben to the ground on purpose."
"What happened this afternoon?"
"Didn't Ben tell you?"
Mal rolled his eyes at the white-haired boy, "Do you think I would ask if he did?"
Carlos let out a soft chuckle. "How would I know? But Jay is right, I was watching the tryouts from the bench and I saw Gaston Jr waiting for Ben to have the ball before charging towards him."
"Gaston Jr totally did that on purpose. I even saw him purposely run around Ben even when ball was far away from him." Jay added.
"I'm sure that was just a coincidence."
Evie, Jay and Carlos all shared a look, not feeling the confidents Ben had towards the LeGume twins.
Mal frowned and bit onto her lower lip as she let Jay and Carlos' words sink in.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Gaston twins shared a look. They were about to turn in when someone started to bang onto the door to their dormitory.
"You expecting anyone?" Gaston the Third asked as he sat up from his bed.
"Nope." Gaston Jr shook his head at his younger brother. "I'll get that."
Gaston Jr opened the door to a burning furious Mal.
"Hey, Mal... Oof!" Gaston Jr let out a cry as Mal hit him in his stomach.
"I knew exactly what had happened on the field this afternoon and don't any of you try to deny what you guys did." Mal warned with her finger pointing in between the twins. "You two are lucky Ben only had a slightly injury, if he was seriously hurt I swear to god, I would have to make sure the two of you wouldn't get to see the sunrise tomorrow."
"It was just an acci…"
"Save all your bull shit for toddlers. How old do you think I am? I am going to say this one last time, the two of you better keep your paws away from Ben and my friends if not you'll regret it. Am I clear enough for you guys?"
"Crystal!" Gaston the Third quickly answered after watching his older twin stare at the purple-haired girl without a word.
"Good! Glad I made myself clear because I meant every single word I say." Up until here, Mal's eyes turned devilish green eyes at them.
With that, Mal turned around on her heel and headed towards her dormitory to turn in for the night.
So, Mal will be sharing a class with Gaston Jr. Just hope that Mal does not snap during class.
