Mal's POV
I wake up sleeping next to Carlos who is still asleep. I look at the alarm clock on the nightstand that is in between Carlos and Jay's beds. The alarm clock says;
August 17, 2015
5:55 a.m.
Well it looks like I need to get moving and sneak into my bedroom before Doug comes in our dorms at 6 a.m. waking us up for our first day at a new school. I ran out of Carlos and Jay's dorm as fast as I can and ran across the hall to my dorm just in time. Then Doug came in for a minute and saw we were already up so he left to go check on the boys.
Evie: Oh there you are Mal I have been looking for you all morning since I got up at 5:30 a.m. Where have you been Mal? I have been worried sick about you.
Me: Carlos was having another nightmare so I went over to his room to comfort him and I spend the night with him.
Evie: Mal you do know that you can't go in the opposite gender dorm after 10 p.m. What if you got caught Mal for sneaking around in one of the boys' dorms after 10 p.m.?
Me: Evie calm down I didn't get caught this time. I wasn't trying to sneak around into one of the boys' dorms I was just trying to help my friend.
Evie: Sure, you were totally helping a "friend" it seems like to me that you and Carlos are a little more than just friends.
Me: Evie, you know that is not true me and Carlos are just friends.
Evie: Well it doesn't seem that way to me. I have seen you two together and anyone can see that you two are more than just friends plus you told me yesterday that you like him.
Me: I have to admit that I do like him as more than just a friend. But trust me Evie, we are only just friends nothing is ever going to happen between us.
Evie: Mal, you don't know what could happen in future so stop saying something won't ever happen when you don't know what the future holds. Mal I think you should just give love a chance because you never know what could happen. I think Carlos might like you back, but you are too scared to be in love because of what your mother told you about love.
Me: Evie, I know you are joking because he doesn't like me like that. He only sees me as just a friend
Evie: I am being serious Mal I think Carlos might be in love with you.
Me: What makes you say that?
Evie: I have seen the way he looks at you when you are not watching. He never said anything to me about it, but I can just tell that he is probably in love with you. I have seen the way he tries to flirt with you by trying to hold your hand and put his arm around you. He is clearly in love with you, but you just don't see it.
Me: Maybe you are right Evie he might like me back. I will talk to him later about it.
Evie: That is what I like to hear. Anyways you should probably start get ready for school because school is going to start in 30 minutes at 7 a.m.
I grab my clothes and went to the bathroom to get dressed for my first day of school. I put on the same outfit I wore yesterday. When I am finish getting ready for school me and Evie go down the first floor on the other side of the school to meet up with the boys. The four of us go inside Fairy Godmother's office to grab our schedules and a map of the school. We all have the same schedule because they wanted all the villain kids stay together since we are the first group of VKs to be part of this Auradon Villain Kid Exchange Program. The only class we don't all have together is our seventh bell because Fairy Godmother let us choose our last elective. The four of us are required to take Life Skills Without Magic because it is requirement that everyone has to take before they graduated from here and the four of us have to take Remedial Goodness 101. I choose to take an art class for my last elective. Evie chooses to take Advanced Sewing 101. Carlos chooses to take some computer class and Jay chooses to take Self Defense 101. First period is about ready to start and the four of us all have Chemistry class for our first period. The four of us all walked together to our first class of the day which is Chemistry class with Mr. Deley.
I walked into chemistry class with my squad and saw two familiar faces. Princess Audrey and Prince Ben were the only people the faces that I recognized in this class. Our chemistry teacher clap his hands to get my whole class his attention.
Mr. Deley: Welcome to Chemistry class I am Mr. Deley. I already assign everyone a lab partner that they will sit next to and do labs with for the rest of the school year. When I call your name go sit at your assign table. Mr. Agrabah and Miss Li are at Table 1. Mr. Beastly and Miss Grimhilde are at Table 2. Mr. Charming and Miss Beauty are at Table 3. Mr. Devil...
I couldn't help but laugh when our chemistry teacher mispronounced Carlos last name saying its "Devil" when his last name is pronounced "De Vil" not "Devil".
Carlos: Mr. Carter my last name is not "Devil" it pronounced "De Vil".
Mr. Deley: On my roster it says your last name is "Devil".
Carlos: Let me see that list there has to be some kind of mistake.
Mr. Deley gives Carlos his class roster list just to check to see if his last name is spelled correctly because there is supposed to be a spaced between "De" and "Vil".
Carlos: They spelled my last name wrong on this list there is supposed to be a spaced between "De" and "Vil".
Then out of nowhere Audrey just randomly started bursting out laughing about something. The way she laughs is so annoying and sounds so fake. She literally sounds like a Evil Witch when she laughs it is so annoying.
Audrey: Seriously Devil? What a classic last name for a villain because Devil literally contains the word "evil" in it which is exactly what you Villain Kids are because you four are nothing but a bunch of little devils (1).
Me: How about you just shut up Queen of Mean (2) and stop talking bad about my friends?
Audrey: I told you yesterday that my name is Princess Audrey Rose Beauty not "Queen of Mean". Mal please don't ever call me that again.
Mr. Deley: Calm down girls as I was saying Mr. De Vil and Miss Faery go sit down at Table 4.
I go to my assigned seat and sit next to Carlos. I am grateful that I don't have to sit next to Audrey who is getting on my last nerves. I try not to let her get to me, but she is driving me crazy. I feel like I am going to explosive with all this anger that Audrey cause. Whenever I get angry at someone I turn into this monster and trust me it is not a pretty side to see. My closest friends Carlos, Evie and Jay all know that I am not the type of person that anyone would want to messed with ever. This is why most people on the Isle are afraid of me because whenever I am angry at someone I transform into a Dragon. Even though there is no magic on the Isle I still inherited my mother's powers to transform into a Dragon whenever I am mad or angry at someone. My friends try their best to calm me down. The truth is Carlos is my only friend that truly understands me. We both been suffering with anxiety ever since we were young and we are both afraid to get our mothers mad due to how abusive they can me. Most Villain Kids on the Isle have some kind of mental health problem like Depression, PTSD or Anxiety due to their childhood. Most Villains that live on the Isle are awful parents to their children especially those children that were raised by a single-parent like me and all my friends were. Carlos has always been a good friend of mine he tries his best to calm me down whenever I am about ready to have anxiety attack. I guess that is why I fell in love with him because he tries to bring out the best in me. He is such a good person and one of the most innocent VKs I ever met along with Dizzy and Evie. We both try to comfort each other when one of us is having anxiety attack it almost like we balance each other out. I am not much of a hugger only to my closest friends but with Carlos it is different but in a good way. I like it when he hugs me because he gives me the best hugs ever. I like it when he tries his best to comfort me even if it means holding my hand telling me everything will be alright. I was lost in my thoughts thinking about how much I love him until Carlos tapped my shoulder.
Carlos: Mal are you alright?
Me: I am fine.
The truth is I am not fine but I didn't want Carlos to worry about me. I really hate lying to him but sometimes I have too. Carlos looks at me straight in the eye his chocolate brown eyes met with my green eyes.
Carlos: Liar I know you so well Mal. I know that you're lying to me. Hey, look at me Mal, I want you to know that you can tell me anything. I am always here you Mal everything will be alright.
Then Carlos puts his right hand on top of my left hand on the table and he squeezes my hand to let me know that everything will be okay. It was almost like sparks fly whenever he holds my hand not sure if he felt that spark, but I sure did. If only he knew how I really feel about him but it best to keep my feelings to myself. I know that deep down he will never like me back.
Ben's POV
I really hate to break it to Audrey but Mal is right she needs to stop being mean to Mal and her friends. I have known Audrey my whole life we grew up together playing around the palace. When we were little Audrey was always a nice person, but it wasn't until I told her about my first proclamation I saw a side of Audrey that I have never seen before. Instead of being a supported girlfriend about my dreams she didn't support my idea about me inviting the worst villains on the Isle children to come to Auradon and give them a second chance. Audrey kept telling me about how I am making a huge mistake by inviting four Villain Kids to come to Auradon Prep. I try to tell her that she should give them a chance, but she is not listening to me. I am getting sick of the way that Audrey has been acting lately and her trying to control me. I miss the old Audrey the one that was nice when we were growing up the one, I fell in love with now I am starting to lose feelings for her. I really don't want to hurt her feelings, but I think it is best that we break up soon. The only problem is my father and Audrey's parents made us be in a arrange marriage for the sake of our kingdoms so we can keep our royal status. At first, I was fine with this but now I am starting to think that I don't want to be betrothed to Audrey anymore. My father and her parents made agreement a long time ago that we will have an arrange marriage and I will proposed to Audrey on my 18th birthday. I told my father about this last night that I want to get out of this arrange marriage because I am starting to not like Audrey due to her trying to control me lately. I am going to be honest I don't want to marry Audrey in a few years from now if she keeps acting this way. I thought I loved her I really try to for our kingdom's sake. I just can't do it anymore I don't want to be forced to marry someone that is not supportive with my decisions I made for the kingdom. I thought I was in love with Audrey, but I guessed not. Maybe I really don't know what love is. All I want is to be married someone I truly love not just because of politics. When I told my father how I have been feeling about Audrey lately he made an agreement with me. He said if I can find true love before my coronation then he will called-off the agreement he made with Audrey's parents about us getting married. The only problem is how am I going to find true love in such a short amount of time to get out of this arrange marriage. I only have 5 weeks and 4 days from today to find true love before my coronation on Friday, September 25th, 2015 to get out of marrying Audrey. I met this beautiful girl named Evie yesterday who I think I am starting to fall for, but it is too early to tell. I only met her yesterday I wouldn't say I am in love with her just yet, but I do think she is pretty. She seems nice but I really don't know that much about her. I want to get to know her first and see what happens. I also want to get to know her friends that I invited to come to Auradon Prep with her and find out more about their life on the Isle. I swear if Audrey tells me that I can't be friends with them I am going to ignore what she says. I don't care if I am betrothed to her or not, I don't want to date someone that tries to control me like what Audrey has been doing to me lately. I would rather date someone that understands me and someone that I am comfortable with. I am going to be honest I am starting to not feel comfortable around Audrey because I am not in love with her like I used to be. I don't want to be mean to her or hurt her feelings, but I think it is best we break up because we clearly don't belong together.
Evie: Are you excited to be crowned King of Auradon soon?
Me: Yes, I am excited to be King soon, but I am also a little nervous that I won't be a great ruler to Auradon. I just want to make a difference when I become King to make all of Auradon a better place.
Evie: I am sure you will make a great King one day. I already think you are going to be a great future King to Auradon because you care so much about your people and you try to see the good in everyone even the VKs. If it wasn't for you who knows what would of happen if you never made a proclamation to send me and my friends to Auradon Prep to give us a second chance. That is what I admired about you is how good of a person you are to your people.
Me: I really try to see the good in everyone, but it is hard to see the good in everyone sometimes. Evie, I got a question for you. Have you ever felt like not wanting to do something you were destined to do your whole life?
Evie: Yes, I have felt like not wanting to do what I am destined to do. All my life I was destined to follow in my mother footsteps and become evil like her, but I never wanted that. I wanted more in life than becoming evil I wanted to help the other VKs so they can have a better life.
Me: I know how you feel because that is how I feel thinking about my future.
Evie's POV
I was about ready to say something to Ben asking why he feels this way about his future not wanting to do something he was destined to do? but Mr. Deley started lecturing about chemistry. Everyone in the whole class except for me was taking notes while listening to the lecture. Instead of paying attention in class like I am supposed to do I was too busy staring at the cute Prince that is sitting next to me on the left side. He has the prettiest blue eyes I have ever seen. I know that I only met him yesterday, but I am already starting to fall in love with the cute Prince that sits next to me in class. I didn't believe in love at first sight until the moment I met him and everything I read about in a romance book started to make sense. Ever since, I was a little girl I have been fascinated reading books about romance. I have always been a sucker for romance and wanting my own happily ever after like in the books I read as a child. I think I already met my Prince Charming which is Ben who is the Prince in my own fairytale. He is so kind and perfect in every way but the only problem is that he is with another girl. I spent most of chemistry class daydreaming about him until I heard my chemistry teacher called my name. I bet he called my name because he knew that I wasn't paying attention.
Mr. Deley: Evie, perhaps this is just all review for you because you are too busy daydreaming about how you are too smart to be in this class. So, tell me, what is the average atomic weight of silver?
Me: Atomic weight? Uh, well, not that very much I mean, it's an atom, right?
I have no idea how to find the atomic weight of silver. I was too busy looking at the cute Prince that invited me and my friends over to Auradon Prep to even understand what my teacher was talking about. I should of pay attention to my teacher lecture so I can understand how he explain to the class how to find the atomic weight. I don't want to look like I am dumb in front of my class for saying the wrong answer. I have no choice but to get my mother magic mirror out so I can ask the magic mirror what the answer is. I ask my magic mirror that I am hiding under my desk "Magic mirror in my hand how do I find the average atomic weight of silver?" Then my magic mirror screen lit up the answer to my question. I get out of my seat and start writing the answer on the board.
Me: That would be 106.905 times .5200 plus 108.905 times .4800 which, Mr. Deley, would give us 107.9 AMU.
Mr. Deley came over and saw what I written on the board to see if it is correct. I wrote on the board; 106.905 x .5200 + 108.905 x .4800 = 107.6 AMU. Mr. Deley was impressed what I wrote on the board.
Mr. Deley: That is correct Evie. I am sorry I underestimate…..
Me: A villain? Don't ever make that mistake again just because I am a Villain Kid doesn't mean I am not smart.
Then the bell finally ring meaning class is over. My friends walk with me to our second period class which is math. I didn't know anyone in that class from before except my friends and Doug. The rest of the day flew by nothing interesting happen in my English and History of Auradon class which I have third and fourth period. My fifth period class is Life Skills without Magic which is my favorite class so far. They teach us how to sew, clean and cook without magic which I already knew how to do already, but I did learn some new things in that class today. My lunch period is right after my fifth period. period. At Auradon Prep you have two options you can either eat lunch inside in the cafeteria or you can eat outside at the picnic tables. I ate lunch with my three friends Carlos, Jay and Mal since they are my only friends at this school so far. The four of us head to the buffet table in the cafeteria to grab some lunch. We all try some new food that we never try before. Auradon food is way better than the Isle food back at home we got Auradon leftover food that was already expired. The four of us all grab some food and went to go eat lunch at one of the picnic tables outside. We all sat down at a picnic table near a Oak tree eating our lunch. Then Ben came over with his lunch.
Ben: Evie, I am so sorry about my girlfriend's behavior to you and your friends yesterday. I want to make it up to all four of you by sitting with you guys at lunch. I want to get to know all of you and I am hoping that we can all be friends.
Then out of nowhere Audrey walks over to Ben because she is looking for him so she can talk to him about something.
Audrey: There you are Benny-Boo I have been looking for you all over. What on earth are you doing sitting with the new kids?
Ben: I am sitting with the new kids because I want to be friends with them and get to know them.
Audrey: Why would you want to be friends with the new kids when you already have me, Chad, Doug, Jane and Lonnie as your friends?
Ben: Look Audrey because I want too and I don't need your opinion who I can or can't be friends with.
Audrey: Ben I don't think you should be friends with the children of our parents worst enemy because they are exactly like their parents. Now, come on Ben you are coming with me to have lunch with our friends instead of those little devils (1).
Then Audrey grabs Ben's hand and drag her boyfriend to where their friends are sitting on the quad. I feel sorry for Ben because based on what I have seen it seems like Audrey is trying to control him. I feel like Ben deserves to be treated better than how Audrey is treating him.
Mal's POV
I am sitting next to Carlos at lunch and Evie is sitting across me next to Jay. Audrey and Ben go eat lunch with their friends and Audrey keeps turning her head starring at me. She has the evil look on her face like she wants to kill me. I don't know why Audrey is being so rude to me and my friends. I don't understand what I have done to Audrey to make her hate me and my friends. I swear she walks around this school like she owns it. She acts like a typically high school Queen Bee who is a mean rich girl. I swear if Audrey was a villain her villain name would be the "Queen of Mean" (2) because that is what she is a typically high school mean girl.
After lunch, I have Remedial Goodness 101 with the one and only Fairy Godmother. I walk to my next class with my friends after lunch is over. When we walk into the classroom there are four desks in the middle of the room with a space to walk in the middle between two desks. I sit next to Evie on the right side of the room and the boys sit on the left side of the room. Fairy Godmother takes attendance which I don't see the point in doing that when there is only four students in the entire class and she knows we are all here. Fairy Godmother talks about what we are going to do in this class to learn how to be good.
Fairy Godmother: A week from today we are going on a little field trip to The Museum of Cultural History instead of coming to class after lunch we are going on a little trip. I am going to give you a tour of the Museum and show you where my wand is at the museum that I am going to use in a couple of weeks at the Coronation.
I can't wait to go on the field trip to the museum plus I will find out where the wand is. Then later that day me and my friends can sneak in the museum and steal the wand when we are supposed to be in bed. Sounds like a perfect plan to do what my mom told me to do even though I don't want too. No one knows this but my mom is force me to steal the wand I have no choice when her eyes were glowing at me before I left the Isle she was able to control what I do. She used her only power she has on the Isle which is making her eyes glow that can make her control whoever she is looking at by commanding them to do what she told them to do.
In the middle of class, a young girl comes running in the room who look a few years younger than me that has short hair with a blue headband that has a bow on top. She is wearing a light blue dress with a light blue bow at the collar of her dress. She goes to Fairy Godmother handing her a piece of paper.
Fairy Godmother: Hello dear one.
Jane: Hi, you need to sign this paper to sign me off on early dismissal for the Coronation.
Fairy Godmother: Everyone here remembers my 14-year old daughter Jane that I mention before? She is a fourth-year student here which is a freshmen in high school.
Jane: Mom, no!
Fairy Godmother: It's okay. Jane, this is everyone.
Jane: Hi. That's okay, don't mind me. As you were.
Then Jane left the room with the forum she gave her mother. Now that I think about it Jane looks familiar I think I saw her sitting with Audrey at lunch. I think she is one of Audrey's friends along with that Asian girl in my chemistry class that sits next to Jay I think her name is Lonnie.
The rest of class was boring because Fairy Godmother kept talking about how to be "Good". Then the bell finally ring now I am off to my seventh period class which is my art class that I have with Rapunzel who is the art teacher here at Auradon Prep. I didn't know anyone in my art class, so I kept to myself not minding any of my classmates' conservation. I sat there drawing the rest of class not saying a word to anyone. Then the bell finally ring now it is finally time to go home. After class I go straight to my locker where I already spray-painting graffiti on it with my mother's silhouette that says "LONG LIVE EVIL" on it earlier this morning before chemistry class. Evie is my locker partner while Carlos and Jay share a locker together because there is not enough lockers at this school where everyone can have their own locker so we all have to share a locker with someone. Evie comes over to our locker to put her stuff that she doesn't need in our locker. I put my stuff on the top shelf that I don't need to bring to my dorm to use for homework. At the corner of my eye I saw Ben talking with a boy that has blonde curly hair whose is in my chemistry class. He sits next to Audrey in chemistry and his name is Chad Charming the son of Cinderella and Prince Charming. Audrey was also with Chad talking to Ben. I was curious what they were talking about so I listen closely to their conversation.
Ben: Come on, Chad. Give them a chance.
Audrey: Oh. No offense, Benny Bear, but you're just too trusting with everyone. Look, I know your mom fell in love with a big nasty beast who turned out to be a Prince in disguise. But with my mom, the Evil Fairy was just the Evil Fairy. That girl's mother.
Audrey nods her head at me because she is referring to me. I have only been at this school for a day and already I am sick of Audrey talking crap about me and my friends. I really want to fight this girl because she deserves it after all the horrible things she said about me and my friends. Evie noticed that I am angry and tries to calm me down, so I don't punch Audrey in the face on my first day here. Then Ben ignores what Audrey just said and walks over to me and Evie.
Ben: Hi ladies, how was your first day here?
Me: Super except your girlfriend is being rude by talking crap about me and my friends.
Ben: Look Mal, I am really sorry she said that about you and your friends. She just doesn't want to give you guys a chance because she thinks that all the VKs are exactly as horrible as their parents are.
Evie: If she is so awful to us then why are you dating her especially since you were the ones that invited us over here?
Ben: It's a long story let's just say my dad and her parents made an agreement a long time ago. Well I have to go I will see you guys later.
Me and Evie: Bye Ben.
Both of us waved bye to Ben then he left to go do something. Me and Evie walked back to our dorm and that was the end of our very first day here at Auradon Prep.
