Chapter Overview:
In this chapter, Evie meets Chad under the bleachers, and an ugly truth is revealed about him, and afterwards, Doug surprises Evie and tells her vital information regarding the wand. Mal, Evie and Jane are hanging out in the girl's dorm, and we are introduced to Lonnie, who asks Mal to change her hair the way she changed Jane's, prompting Jane to rip her dress in a rebellious act.
Chad: Hi.
Evie: Hi. Oh! Thank you.
Chad: Is everybody at home as pretty as you?
Evie: I like to think I'm the fairest of them all. How many rooms in your castle?
"Seriously?" Chad glared at Evie. "Is that really all you care about?"
Chad: Oh! Too many to count. You really nailed that chemistry problem today. You're gonna have all the nerds in love with you.
Evie: I'm not that smart.
The evil queen began to shake with rage. "Do you see what you've done?! Now you've acted smart and you've lost your one chance at getting a prince!" Evie turned back and glared at her mother. "Well, maybe I don't a prince! Maybe I'm happy right now!" She yelled, holding Doug's hand up so her mother could see. The evil queen just gasped.
Chad: Oh, come on.
Evie: No, really, I'm not. But I'm... I'm really good at sewing and cooking and cleaning. You know, like your mother, Cinderella, without the ratty dress.
"HEY! Do NOT talk about my mother that way!" Chad yells angrily.
Evie: See this? If I ask it where something is, it tells me.
Chad: Are you kidding me?
Evie: No.
Chad: Where's my cell phone?
Doug rolled his eyes. "You lost another phone?"
Evie: It won't work for you, silly.
Chad: No biggie. My dad will just get me a new one.
Evie: Prince charming.
Chad: Yeah.
Evie: And Cinderella.
Chad: Yeah.
Evie: Fairy godmother. Hey, I heard her wand is in some boring museum. Do they always leave it there?
"Oh my god! You're all the same!" Chad groaned.
Chad: I'd really like to talk, but... I'm just swamped. Unless...
Evie: Unless?
Chad: If you could knock all my homework out along with yours, then maybe we could get together sometime...
Adam and fairy godmother both glared at Chad. "Apologise. Now."
Chad looked down. "Sorry, Evie."
Chad: ...Hang.
Evie: Okay.
Chad: Thanks, babe.
Evie: Yeah. Bye.
Doug: I couldn't help but overhear...
"Oohhh Evie, you got yourself a stalker already." Mal and Jay laughed.
Evie: Are you stalking me?
Doug: Technically... yes.
Everyone laughed at that.
Doug: I, too, have a fascination with fairy godmother's wand. Which is another reason I look forward to the coronation.
Mal sat up straighter in her seat, listening intently.
Doug: Perhaps we could sit next to each other and discuss its attributes.
Evie: Are you saying they use it in the coronation?
Doug: Yes. And asking you out.
"Awwwww." There was a chorus from around the room, from Belle, and fairy godmother.
Doug sunk lower in his seat, blushing.
Jane: Mom said, "If a boy can't see the beauty within, then he's not worth it."
Belle smiled at fairy godmother. "Well, she is a very smart woman."
Jane: Can you believe it? What world does she live in?
Mal: Auradon.
The villains and VK's burst out laughing, and even Ben cracks a smile.
Evie: Mal, do you like?
Belle and fairy godmother look at the amazing creation in front of them. "Wow dear, that is amazing!"
Mal: Yeah. It's cute. It brings out your eyes.
Evie: I know.
Jane: I'll never get a boyfriend.
Mal: Boyfriends are overrated.
Evie: And how would you know, Mal? You've never had one.
Mal: It's 'cause I don't need one, E. They're a waste of time.
Evie: I forgot to do Chad's homework!
Belle tutted at Chad.
Evie: Oh, no! Oh, no, no, no.
Mal: And that is exactly what I mean.
Lonnie: Hey, guys! I'm Lonnie. My mom's Mulan?
Everyone cracked a small laugh when none of them recognise Mulan's name.
Lonnie: No? Anyways, I love what you've done with Jane's hair. And I know you hate us, and, well, you're evil.
"Aw, thank you." Mal smiles.
Lonnie: But do you think you could do mine?
Mal: Why would I do that for you?
Lonnie: I'll pay you 50 dollars.
Evie: Good answer. I need to buy more material. Let's see, I'm thinking, we lose the bangs, maybe some layers and some highlights.
Mal chuckles. "You have definitely been spending too much time with Dizzy." Ben looked confused. "Who's Dizzy?"
Mal glanced at him. "Drizella's daughter. Lady Tremaine's granddaughter. Sweetest girl on the Isle."
Lonnie: Yeah, yeah. I want it cool. Like Mal's.
"Why thank you!"
Evie: Really? The split ends, too?
"Haha. Very funny." Mal rolled her eyes.
Mal: Okay... "Beware, forswear, replace the old with cool hair."
Evie: I know. I know. It looks like a mop on your head.
Everyone laughed at Evie's comment.
Evie: You know what? Let's cut it off, - layer it...
Lonnie: No, no, no, no, no, no! I love it.
Evie: You do?
Everyone laughed once again.
Lonnie: It's just... Now I'm cool.
Doug looked confused. "How does ripping your dress make you cool?"
Mal: Like ice.
"Well, ice is definitely cold," Ben says sarcastically.
Jane: What did I just do? Mom's gonna kill me!
"Jane!"
