Life at Auradon Prep

Chapter 5

Nizhoni's POV

"Y'know, I'm getting sick and tired of you talking about that Emo guy since Monday," Emilie said as she took another spoonful of her frosted flakes cereal into her mouth.

I gave Emilie a surprised look. "What? I don't talk about that jerk!"

Emilie cocked a brow and folded her arms across her chest. ( Emilie was sitting in front of me)

"Oh really? You've been talking about him non-stop! It's like you're into him or something." She explained, slightly teasing me at the last part of the sentence.

Emilie and I, as well as the other students in the cafeteria, were having a light breakfast consisting of oatmeal porridge and or frosted flakes cereal(either of your choice) with two blueberry muffins as a side dish before our first class (that is Emilie and me) period math class, which starts in half-hour time.

I gasped, dropping my spoon on the table.

"Emilie!" My cheeks slightly flushed as I glared at Emilie.

Emilie raised her hands in defence. "What? You know it's true! You chat about that Emo kid like crazy more than classwork."

I scrunched my face in embarrassment and turned my face away from Emilie as my cheeks flushed.

"Admit it," Emilie said. "You kind of have a thing for the Emo kid."

What? I'm not Snow White or Cinderella or even Princess Anna who falls in love at first sight!

I turned my head back to Emilie and gave her a look as I folded my arms.

"For your information, I'm not interested in guys in the alternative subculture."

Emilie gave me a disbelieving look and made an 'Uh huh' sound. Then, she put the bowl of leftover milk to her mouth, leaning her head back as she started drinking down the milk.

I stared at Emilie in embarrassment as she did that(thank goodness she didn't make the gulping sound). I then glanced from Emilie to a few kids in the cafeteria who were staring at her in shock. I glared at the kids and they quickly went back to either eating with their friends or something. After that, I turned my attention back to Emilie, who was already finished drinking the milk from the bowl, place it on the table and wiping her lips using her left hand. It was a good thing that Fairy Godmother didn't see her doing this.

I shook my head and sighed as I stretched my head forward over the table and said, "You know, what you did just now was unladylike and unprincess like too."

"And the water is wet," Emilie said sarcastically and slightly shrugged.

Emilie looked over my shoulder and smirked. Confused, I whipped my head around and fixed my eyes at the person who Emilie was smirking at.

My eyes widened in shock.

It was the jerk of an Emo sitting behind me, but not too close though as he was silently taking a spoonful of his porridge by himself.

I slowly turned back my head to Emilie, who was smirking and fixed her emerald green eyes at me.

At that moment, I was horrified. I knew what Emilie was going to do. She did this before and that was two days ago, and she was gonna do it again.

Emilie was about to open her mouth to say something, but I beat her to it.

"No!" I quickly shook my head, making my long pigtails swing from side to side in the process.

"Why not?" Emilie asked, giving me puppy eyes, and I twitched my right eye.

"I don't want him to snap at me and call me an idiot!"

Emilie scoffed at my answer.

"Nizhoni," Emilie called my name, her voice was stern now. "Not everyone you see here will be nice or smile at you. Not because we live in Auradon, that doesn't mean that there will be some stoic and serious people out there."

At first, I was stunned by Emilie's voice and what she said, but then I sighed, knowing that she was right and leaned back on my chair, slightly slumping my shoulders.

"I'm sorry if I'm being a little blunt or harsh, but this is how the world is." Emilie finished.

I nodded in agreement with my best friend.

"Great! Now just get yourself together and talk to the Emo kid. He seems very lonely and it looks he needs some company." Emilie demanded cheerfully with a wink.

I shoot Emilie a glare and she was unfazed.

"No."

Emilie sighed as she twirled a lock of her black and ombre blond(at her hair tips) hair.

"Oh well, I guess I'd just suffer the pain of you talking about the guy in the morning, at noon and evening every day in my entire life," Emilie said sadly.

I was irritated by Emilie and I can't tell if she's being sarcastic or genuine and at this point, I gave up.

"Alright, alright. I'll go and 'try' make a conversation with the angry boy."

"Yay!" Emilie beamed as she clasped her hands together like an excited 5-year-old girl who was about to get her ice cream.

I was completely annoyed by Emilie's behaviour right now. So, I leaned back and took my time to shift the chair to get up. As I did that, I shoot Emilie a glare.

"I swear, if you ever let that angry boy make fun of me or disgrace me, you're dead meat."

Emilie waved me off. "Don't worry, Sweetie. He won't."

I was skeptical about Emilie's answer but gave her a nod anyway. I was about to leave when Emilie stopped me.

"Oh, give him this," Emilie said as she took something out of her skirt pocket and place it on the table. I looked down on the table and saw the object.

It was an invitation to Audrey's back-to-school party that will be taken place this Friday at her temporary home in Auradon City.

I frowned. "Why?"

"Because I have too many invitations for the party."

I narrowed my eyes at Emilie suspiciously, as I was not buying her answer.

"What?" Once again, Emilie raised her hands. "I do have too many tickets and it won't hurt if you give the Emo kid the invitation and tell him that he's invited to the party."

I pressed my lips in a firm line; I was weary about this. Looking at Emilie, she seems confident about this whole thing. So with that, I sighed and left our table to sit the angry boy.

OooooooO

Marlon's POV

I took another spoonful of my warm, but sweet oatmeal porridge into my mouth as I heard the chair that was in front of me shifted like someone was sitting in the chair. I looked up and stare at the person.

It's the idiot girl.

A part of me was annoyed that this girl came here to give me some petty crap, but another part of me was glad that this chick came so that I can piss her off. So, I took the second option.

I forgot her name, oh my. What was her name again? Was it Nosumi?, Nhuzumi?, Nizhoni? Or Nozomi? Hmm, I think it was Nozomi.

Well, I know her name is Nizhoni, but I will call her by a different name and see how she reacts.

I leaned back in my chair and smirked as I used my thumb and index finger to rub my chin.

"Well, well, well," I began, my voice was low and sounded kind of sinister. "Isn't it the famous Nozomi? What makes you come over to my lovely presence?"

This girl looks like she was about to bite my head off.

"One, my name is not 'Nozomi' it's 'Nizhoni'. Nozomi is a Japanese name. Two, I never wanted to come here, is my best friend made me do it." She sneered bitterly.

Oh I know your name is Nizhoni, I'm just messing with you. Geez, loosen up!

I pretend to be surprised. "Oh? "

Nizhoni's glare never escaped her face.

"Are you done playing with me yet?" Nizhoni asked, sounding irritated with her arms folded across her chest.

I closed my teal-coloured eyes, still scratching my chin. "Well, sorry about my behaviour I displayed, but I want to know what brings you over here? As you can see-" Nizhoni cuts me off.

"I can see that you were having your porridge," She said flatly. " I just want to say what I have to say and leave your sight."

I can feel Nizhoni's anger and disgust and I like it. Keep on doing your job, Marlon, continue to piss Nizhoni off until she leaves because I too want her out of my sight.

The feeling's mutual.

I gave a short nod as I rested my elbows on the edge of the table and clapped my hands gently and said, "Go on, I'm all ears."

Nizhoni loosen up her arms and took a deep breath.

"First of all, I'm sorry for my behaviour on Monday. I had too much emotion taken over and I get offended easily."

My eyes widened, but still smirking. "So you admit that you were being an idiot."

Nizhoni grunted.

"Yeah.." Nizhoni lowered her head and muttered under her breath.

I rested my left hand on my left cheek and cocked my head to the side as I eyed Nizhoni up and down.

It's such a shame that a pretty doll-like you can be such a dumbass. Shame. Tsk tsk.

Nizhoni noticed that I was staring at her, so she asked, "What are you looking at me for?"

I shook my head and waved her off. "Oh, nothing.'

She seems skeptical about my response.

I shifted my eyes from her face and landed my eyes on her right hand, which was resting flatly on the table. I looked closer at her hand and saw a black ring on her middle(or swearing) finger. That ring piqued my interest.

My eyes flickered from Nizhoni's hand to her face, but she turned her head away, avoiding my gaze.

So, I cleared my throat to get Nizhoni's attention, and she did turn around to look at me, but she was still annoyed or want to get things over with. I didn't ask this chick to come over here to bother me, but thanks to a smart friend(I'm not being sarcastic), I can mess with Nizhoni some more.

This doll is so dense, and I like it. More fun time for me!

"What do you want?" Nizhoni asked.

"Well, I was looking at your swearing finger and noticed that you have a black ring on your finger. Are you an asexual?"

Nizhoni was taken aback at my question. She then looked at her right hand and hid it under the table. Nizhoni blushed.

"Why do want to know?"

I cocked my head to the right side. "Can't an Emo kid be curious?"

Nizhoni groaned in disgust and replied, "Yes, I am but that doesn't mean that I can't love someone. It's just that I have very little to no interest in sex."

You don't have to go too far, but thanks I guess. Geez, I'm being nice to her now.

"How long you've been an Ace for?" I asked curiously.

"Since 13." Nizhoni replied simply.

"Ah, I see," I said.

"Anyway, enough about my private life and as much I hate to say this, but do you mind sitting with me and my friend?" Nizhoni questioned, sounding half hesitant and half hopeful.

This question came as a surprise to me. I was never really asked by anyone to sit with them. Hmph, wow.

Unfortunately, I have to turn this one down.

"I'd like to, but I'm very uncomfortable and awkward sitting with two girls alone."

Nizhoni scoffed. "Please. Even Anxelin sits with 4 of the hottest guys in school almost every day, and she's the only girl in their group."

I huffed. "Are they her boyfriends?"

Nizhoni's eyes nearly bulge out of her sockets. "No! They're her best guy friends! Nothing is wrong with a girl having more than one male friend!'

Again, I huffed. I looked over Nizhoni's shoulder and saw her best friend, who was smiling and giving a thumbs up.

Damn, I like that girl.

Anyway, I quickly focused my attention back on Nizhoni before she uttered anything and replied, "I dunno. It seems like they are way too close with her, especially Mulan's son and Tiana's son."

"It's because they cared for Anxelin like their little sister." Nizhoni explained, sounding a bit irritated.

"Yeah, sooner or later you'll a 'love pentagon' between the 5 of them."

Nizhoni twitched her left eye. Man, this girl is so easily annoyed by the simplest of things. I wonder how her best friend managed her?

I looked at my watch and check the time. It's now 7:45 a.m., and we have 15 minutes left before my first-period class of math starts. Hmm, I thought, I wonder if I could use the time as an excuse to piss off Nizhoni? Yes, it will be perfect.

"I hate to break up our interesting conversation, love," I was being smooth, "but it looks like our time has run out. We have 5 minutes left before class starts."

At this point, Nizhoni was in panic mode. "What?! Ugh! I've been wasting my time with you!"

Well, not really, but yeah pretty much. She didn't even notice that I lied about the time.

I watched Nizhoni shook her head in disbelief as she gently pushed the chair out and got up. She gave me one more disgusted look before she left.

I gotta say, this was decent, at least not like after school on Monday but interesting.

While Nizhoni and I had our little conservation(I did the messing up) I almost forgot about my porridge. The poor porridge turned from nice and warm to cold and dead. Boo, I hate it when my porridge is like me. I sighed as my eyes glanced from my porridge to a shiny-looking object that was across from me. I frowned as I stretched my hand over and took up the object. I noticed that the object had some pink and blue glitter that sprinkled on my fingertips. Bleh, I realized that this an invitation to Princess Spoilt's (Audrey's) party this Friday. I heard some people were talking about this back-to-school party.

Then I realized something, that probably the reason that Nizhoni came here.

To invite me to the party.

Then why she didn't say so?! It's not like per se I'm going to bite her, well at least not now.

To be honest, it's kind of nice for someone to invite me to a party, as far as I can remember, I had never been to one. Maybe because I'm Emo or something I don't know. Maybe I might go to Princess Spoilt's(Audrey's) party, just to play with my favourite toy.

Nizhoni

Anyway, I sighed as I shoved the invitation in my pants pocket and went to scoop up my poor porridge into my mouth.

Thanks, Nizhoni for making my warm porridge turn cold like me.
