Chapter 3:Auradon Prep
If there was something that Mal hated was going back to the Isle. The others hated it too. But it didn't stop Mal from going to the Slop Shop to take a coffee.
"I don't know how you can still drink that" Evie said with a frown.
"It's not that bad" Mal shrugged.
"Still I'm glad that we are not staying for long" Carlos shuddered.
"Let's go, they are waiting for us" Evie said still looking disgusted at the food of the Isle.
The sixteen villain kids were already waiting for them in the Bargain Castle, which was still in despair since no one lived there. Mal's room was still untouched.
The original members of the Anti-Hero Club clapped at them when they entered and Dizzy ran to hug Evie. The new members just stayed there uncomfortably.
"Well, you know why you are here so let's get started" Jay said.
"We are going to Auradon" Dizzy said excitedly. Her cousin rolled his eyes but Mal could notice that he was repressing a smile which surprised her.
"Yes…but there is something you have to know before we take the limos to Auradon" Mal said "There were some conditions when Ben decided that you could go"
The other villain kids stayed quiet waiting for the "bomb" to explode.
"The Council decided that you have to "spend time" with your parents enemies" Mal explained "They think that it would be good for you…" She looked at Evie for help.
"Since you would be living in Auradon and you will have to learn some "customs" "Evie completed to Mal's relief.
They fell silent and Jay said to break the silence: "So… let's go for your things"
"We have them here already" Harriet said raising her bag. Some if the others did the same.
"Then let's go"
Jay then remembered that most of them didn't have many things and the ones they had could be placed in a backpack.
Claudine looked back a few times with a little fear. Harriet noticed that and asked: "What's up?"
The green-eyed girl sighed and said: "My father didn't want me to go to Auradon"
"And?"
"I may have put some herbs on his morning tea" Claudine said with a faint blush.
Harriet laughed "You put herbs in your father's tea?"
"It was that or risk to be followed" She defended herself "But I don't know when it will wear off"
"I'm proud of you"
Claudine gave her a small smile. Harriet and she had been "friends" for a few months mainly because they exchanged food in the lunch and were in the same group in PE class.
There were four limousines waiting for them.
Some of their parents shouted some things to them as they parted.
"Bring gold"
"Get a princess"
"Say Hi to Golden-Boy"
"Be better than them"
"Get an Empire"
"Get a ship for us"
"Bring your sister back"
"Be nice to the kittens"
"Don't ever come back"
Mal, Evie, Carlos and Jay decided that each one of them would go in a different limousine to "control" the others.
When they arrived to Auradon there was a large group of people waiting for them but there was not a band since they had suggested not doing something too posh for their arrival. Ben later confessed that the band had been Audrey's idea, which wasn't a surprise for any of them.
Ben, Audrey,Lonnie,Chad, Doug and Jane were in the main group as well as Fairy Goodmother.
"Is there something we have to avoid doing now?" Hal asked to Carlos who was in the same limousine as him.
"Just chill"Carlos answered.
Harriet asked the same to Mal and she responded: "Try to be nice-ish"
The others looked at each other and smirked. Mal grinned.
They all got out from the limousine and many of them were nervous. Anthony tried to look indifferent but his eyes betrayed him, there was a small glint in them. Henry looked bored but saw all the jewelry the Auradonian Girls and some Boys were using and his eyes widened, sure he would get a lot of gold. Claudine looked around and her eyes landed on a blonde haired guy with green eyes, he was looking at her too and she looked away in embarrassment to Harriet amusement. Hadie felt something stirring inside him but couldn't put his finger on it, and for the look his sister had she was feeling it too. Hal tried to look regal and wanted to impress, but the Audrey had to make the slight remark that he had no status there.
Evie shot daggers to Sleeping Beauty's daughter. That made Audrey and Chad leave since they had "something" to do, though it was obvious for most people that they were uncomfortable for them to be near the villain's children. Chad gave all of them a look but his gaze stopped on Anthony and Dizzy longer than on the others.
Anthony wondered if Chad was uncomfortable because of Dizzy and him, or it was because all of them.
Ben gave them a sheepish smile and then guided them inside the school and explained how it was founded. Then Ben, Carlos and Jay showed the boy's rooms while Mal, Evie and Lonnie showed the girl's room.
Harriet and Claudine were roommates to Claudine's slight delight and Harriet resignation as she was hoping to be alone, Yzla was sharing with Melinoe, Dizzy was sharing room with Hermie. The other girls left them to settle.
"There's too much room" Claudine said with incredulity.
"Didn't you have your own room at your house?" Harriet asked raising an eyebrow. She knew that most kids didn't have a room for themselves in the Isle, but for all faults Claude Frollo had, he would never neglect his child that way.
"Of course I had my own room as you did" Claudine responded stiffly but them looked their room with delight "But it wasn't very comfortable or large, father said that humility is a virtue" Then she looked guilty.
Harriet rolled her eyes and started to unpack her few belongings. But she had to admit that no one in the Isle had a room this comfortable.
They decided to take a nap until dinner.
Claudine wouldn't admit that she was eager to see that blonde guy again. Her father would call that a sinful desire.
"At least they are not too princess-like" Yzla muttered.
"But there's too much light" Melinoe complained closing the curtains to Yzla's disappointment.
They were silent as they weren't friends and didn't like each other.
"Do you think that they will feed us?" Yzla asked.
"i heard someone say that dinner is at 18:30"Melinoe shrugged.
"I mean us"
Melinoe was wondering on that and shrugged "We could always steal something"
They smiled with complicity at each other.
Dizzy and Hermie didn't know each other well but they got along better since were closer in age than the rest. Still they left each other to their own devices and made a silent agreement to do that unless necessary.
Dizzy was occupied with her designs and Hermie was trying to make her clothes appear presentable.
The younger girl hoped to get a better future in Auradon but was a little down since her cousin and step-cousin were there too. It wasn't that she hated Anthony, but he hadn't been the nicest person for the last three years; and she didn't know Chad but she had heard about him from Evie during the trip.
Evie was going through some dresses and Mal was sketching some things in a sketchbook.
"Do you think it was a good idea to bring all of them at once?" Mal asked absently minded.
"I don't know"Evie responded with a shrug "Ben thought that the Anti-Heroes deserved it…and if I remember well we all agreed that Yen Sid's judgment was to be trusted"
Mal bit her lip and nodded "It's just that I don't fully trust Anthony and Harriet…"
"I agree with you but everyone deserves a chance"
"I still don't think that we should have paired them within themselves" Maleficient's daughter then changed the topic" They could be planning something"
"Mal you are starting to sound like Audrey" Evie reminded her.
"Sorry, it's just that I'm worried for Auradon and I know that if something goes wrong the Council will blame Ben… and us" Mal explained.
The blue haired girl went next to her and placed her hand on Mal's shoulder.
"Everything will be okay…at least with VK's involved"
Both friends laughed.
