Mal's POV

The next day is the Sunday after Ben's Coronation and I never loved my dorm so much...

Since the celebrations of the new King continued during the weekend, today there would be this huge lunch for everyone in Auradon...

Yup, just like in Family Day only 10 times worse... Yupi! I couldn't be more excited...

Even though we saved the day and pretty much everyone in Auradon "likes" us now, I have this feeling that during parties people tend to be nicer then what they truly are. Well, except for my mother, she could be even meaner...

Anyways, what I mean is I loved Friday's night, I had fun like I think I never had, and it was great to finally be accepted. But when the show is over, all that remains is the silence and that's pretty much how I feel right now. Almost like Friday was just a dream, a once in a lifetime event and I am afraid to face the world outside. Specially after what happened with Ben. He was the one person that supported us from the beginning. God, he is the reason we are her. And for him to turn on me like that... It did hurt. And despite playing the tough girl in front of the others, I actually do feel disappointed...

I roll in my bed, hearing Evie quietly mumble the lyrics of "Set it off", probably while finishing the last touches to our outfits for the day. I think she cares too much, these people would still see us as VK even if instead of blue and purple hair we had brown and blonde...

"Mal..." She calls out but I ignore her. She repeats this twice and finally shuts up.

Or so I though. The next thing I know she is shaking me violently.

"Hey!" I protest, hugging my pillow tightly.

"Stop ignoring me! We have to get ready! I let you have your beauty sleep for as long I could but you are not Audrey, so stop playing Sleeping Beauty! Luch starts in two hours and you already skipped breakfast! Ben was worried..." She rambles and I sigh.

"Yeah, sure..." I mumble and sit up.

"You know I am always on your side, M, so I truly think you should not forgive him for as long as you want. However, he did look desperate this morning when you didn't show up. It was cute actually."

I send her a death glare and she rolls her eyes.

"Whatever. I have good news! We are going to have a VIP table for us today! It's away of Auradon thanking us for saving their lives last Friday!" She exclaims excited and I sigh again.

"It's probably more a Only for VKs table than anything else but I really don't care. I just don't want Family Day all over again."

"Oh, that's water under the bridge! We are officially good now! I think we deserve this."

"Fine!" I give in and get up.

For the next hour and so, Evie performs every beauty trick in me and herself. I secretly enjoy it but won't give her the pleasure of knowing that. So when she takes me one more time to the mirror to check out the final result, I only give her a small smile, though I actually do feel beautiful.

She curled my hair and pinned the bangs in the back, leaving my eyes in display. In my lips there's this lilac sparkly gloss, matching perfectly the dress I am wearing. It's knee-length, in a dark purple with lilac straps.

Evie smiled too and and she hugs me. "You look amazing! Thanks for letting me do it!"

I roll my eyes and giggle. "Well, you did do a good job. You look great too!"

She spins and her flowy red and blue gown sparkle in the sun light.

"Well, enough of the complements! We have to go check on the boys and then head to the hall. I don't want us to be the last ones to arrive. Speacially after staying up all night to finish these wicked looks!"

I shake my head and sigh. "Fine, let's go face the outside world! Show the GK how wickedly good we are!"
