Trying the 3rd person point of view rather than the 1st point of view.
Jay's point of view
Blood red eyes still stared at Jay as he tried to get his lungs to work again. 'How' Jay thought, hesitantly brings a hand up to the corner of his eyes. 'This can't be right….' Jay muttered closing his harshly, leaning his head against the mirror. 'Breathe' he thought, 'just take a deep breath, and it will disappear.' He wasn't sure how long he stood there refusing to open his eyes afraid to see if his eyes were still blood red.
"Jay" It was Carlos muffled voice from underneath its blanket.
"Go back to sleep Carlos" Jay snapped, his fists clenching the vanity.
"What's wrong?" Carlos sounded more awake, his voice still groggy a hint of sleep still there.
Jay blinding turned on the water washing his eyes. Jay must have washed his eyes out three times by the time he heard shuffled steps making its way to the bathroom. "I thought I told you to go back to bed."
"You never answered me, what's wrong?" Carlos was wrapped in one of his blankets, concern written on his face not that Jay could see it.
Jay sighed finally opening his eyes. Taking a giant sigh of relief when his brown eyes stared back at him. If Carlos wasn't watching him so intently, Jay would have laughed in hysteria. "Nothing Carlos I just couldn't get an eyelash out of my eye, and it was killing me."
Carlos didn't seem convinced, but he knew that he would never get anything out of Jay if he didn't want to share. "Feel better now?"
Jay leaned up uncurling his white knuckles from the vanity, "yeah I'm okay, and you know what a nap sounds good right about now."
Carlos watched as Jay squeezed himself between Carlos and the doorway to get to the pile of blankets on the floor. Beelzebub was still in the pile of blankets, and he hissed at Jay before jumping onto the bed curling himself up on the luxury mattress.
"Stupid cat" Jay muttered, falling into the blankets his head hitting the pillow. Any ideas of scoping out the school's security were forgotten and ideas of planning for tonight could wait.
Jay shut his eyes and listened as Carlos came back to the makeshift bed. Jay could feel Carlos staring at him, but he didn't exactly care at the moment. However, after a moment it got to be annoying. "What?" Jay didn't mean to snap, but the panic Jay felt in his chest was only dulled.
Carlos hesitated for a moment "Jay you know if you ever need to talk I'm here-well I mean that is we as in Evie, Mal, and I are all here for you." Carlos said terrified at his slip up. All of them cared for Jay and if he felt better talking to Evie or Mal over Carlos then so be it as long as Jay has someone to talk to that all that matters. Well, that's what Carlos told himself anyway.
Jay slowly opened his eyes to look at Carlos. Carlos looked so small cocooned in the blanket only his fingers and face visible, but Jay could see the concern on his face and Jay couldn't help but feel angry. He was supposed to be taking care of the group, not the other way around. Jay lifted his hand and placed it gently on Carlos' head. "You worry too much Carlos," Jay says scuffing up Carlos' hair. "I'm fine, just get some rest."
"But-"
Jay moved his hand to Carlos cheek "No buts" he says patting Carlos' cheek gently. "It's been a long day lets just rest, kay." Jay doesn't wait for an answer before removing his hand and grabbing a pillow readjusting himself ready to take a long nap.
"Yeah Jay what ever you say," Carlos says soberly. Jay hummed as a night of sleep over took him.
By the time Jay woke up, it was dark, and he was alone. "Carlos" Jay asked not getting an answerback. Jay blinked his eyes letting his eyes adjust to the dark, before stretching his legs and cracking his back as he got up to turn on the light on the nightstand a piece of paper lying on it.
"Dear Jay" He read out loud "rather than risk getting punched in the face we let you sleep in. Went to dinner, be sure to bring you back something. Carlos."
Jay sighed rubbing his face with one hand before looking at the clock. It read 6:54. 'Need to find the teachers lounge' Jay thought going to his closet, changing my colorful clothes for black clothes. On the isle it didn't matter what you steal in, there was minimal light so bright clothes or black clothes it didn't matter, but here with lights at every corner, Jay could get all the help he could get. Jay could feel anxiety creeping up on him, and he wanted to laugh, he couldn't remember the last time he got nerves about sneaking around. 'Worst-case scenario I get caught, get expelled and get sent back to the Isle. No biggie' Jay thought as he tied his shoes, silencing the voice in the back of his head that reminded him that he would be on the Isle without Carlos, Evie, or Mal. Jay took a deep breathe "Find the teachers lounge, access the situation, destroy the enemy, win the game." Jay readjusted his fingerless gloves. "Piece of cake."
Jay sighed as he continued to crawl through the air vent. "Okay, bad news this main school campus is too well lit and crowded to sneak. The good news is they have air conditioning." Jay muttered as he pulled himself through a rather tight passage "bad news I'm not five anymore. Good news I can fit in most of them." Jay took a deep breath pushing himself through a new passage way. 'Almost there.'
Jay took a sigh of relief when he finally heard Fairy Godmother's voice. Jay crawled to the air vent peering down below. Jay could only see two people underneath him, but as long as he could hear visuals weren't that important, helpful but not necessary.
"Thank you all for reviewing the kid's exams I really appreciate it." Fairy Godmother's voice sounds just as happy and peppy as when they first got to Auradon.
"They aren't kids Fairy Godmother their villains," said a masculine voice one that Jay had never heard before.
"Now Captain Smith that's not very fair," Fairy Godmother reprimanded "They are new students, and I for one see great potential in them." 'Captian Smith Ben said he was the PE teacher and something else. Guess we can count one enemy, that sure didn't take long.'
"These aren't lost kids that need help Fairy Godmother. They are villains. They don't need hugs and hot coco they need boundaries." Captain Smith kept an even tone through out his explanation.
"And by boundaries, you mean the Isle." This time it was a female voice one with some type of Latin American accent. "You're fine with them as long as they stay at the Isle."
"You don't" Captain Smith challenged. It was silent for a moment, and now Jay wished he could see into the room.
"Now now everyone calm down and let's just examine the exam shall we." Fairy God mother clapped her hands and all Jay heard was grumbling as chairs scraped the floor. It was silent as pages started to be flipped. Jay tried to get comfy in the cramped vent waiting for the real discussion to begin. Jay stayed quiet, slowing down his breathing and stilling his movement. Jay hoped that this would be done before Carlos got back to the room because he didn't want to explain where he was.
'Carlos worries too much' Jay thought resisting the urge to tap his fingers out of boredom. 'He and Evie worry way too much.' Jay thought thinking back to his conversation with Evie before leaving the Isle. 'They should worry about themselves more.'
After who knows how long an older man's voice broke out one with an English accent. "Well, they all have their strength and weakness. This girl Evie was it has an excellent understanding of science, but her history is ugh." Jay could only imagine the man pulling a face of some sort.
"I agree with Archimedes " It was the voice of a different female, is was soft, but Jay could hear the edge in her tone "These children although limited in their education are very bright-"
"Very bright Esmeralda please" Jay recognized the voice as Captain Smith. "These kids are barely getting by; they won't be able to withstand this schools curriculum." Jay could feel his blood start to boil.
"Well this Carlos kid has a perfect understanding of math and science, we even got the few engineering and robotic questions correct." It was the women with the Latin accent again.
"You aren't thinking about having him in one of your robotic classes are you, Professor Ramirez." This was another female voice, and Jay was starting to get confused by the different voice.
"And what if I am Professor Tinkerbell." There was an edge to Professor Ramirez's tone, a challenge.
"He is a villain, he may not have magic, but who knows what evil contraption he could make if he had a thorough understanding of science." Jay ground his teeth, Carlos has an understanding of science he was the smartest person on the isle. Jay knew that Professor Tinkerbell and Smith would be their enemies. 'But if they are looking for a majority vote, then it shouldn't matter' Jay thought, 'unless it has to be a unanimous vote then we are screwed.'
"Professor Cromwell what do you think." It was Fairy Godmother's voice.
"Well you know I love teaching History," An older female voice said with a giggle and then an hmm "but right now I'm only scheduled to show magic and honestly the boys have a basic understanding, while the girls seem to know a bit more of the subject." The women hummed again. "I would place the girls in a magic class."
"WHAT" There was a terrible shriek from Tinkerbell. "You want them to go into magic classes over my dead body. I will not be teaching villains Professor Cromwell."
"Oh dear," the older women said although she didn't sound the least bit concern "Well Miss Tinkerbell please tell me which scenario you like better hmm." Jay could hear some rustling and a chair scratching the floor. "The isle has no magic, these children all except one come from magical parents. They come to our school, and with no barrier in place to hinder them, their powers activate, and innocents get hurt. Scene two we teach them how to control their powers, limiting how much they learn, and protecting our students the best we can."
"If we wanted to protect our students than we would send them back to the Isle."
Captain Smith snapped.
"Can't we place a spell over them to eliminate their powers." Professor Tinkerbell suggested "Something similar to the barrier, but instead of covering a whole island covering an individual. Surely the Cromwell grimoire that gave us the spell for the barrier would have a smaller scale spell like that," Jay didn't care for where this conversation was going.
"No it doesn't, and even if it did, I wouldn't use it. These children need rules and structures and maybe learning magic is the way to enforce that. There are no short cuts in magic." Professor Cromwell stated, and Jay could only imagine an older woman shaking her finger and scolding the other professor.
"As I have said before I will not teach villains," Professor Tinkerbell said, the sound of a chair scraping against the floor and footsteps. "I do not care what they got on the test; I won't help bring a new age of evil onto our students because of one little prince's dreams."
"Careful their Professor Tinkerbell. The Fairy's in Pixie Hallow bent the knee to the king and queen of Auradon." Professor Esmeralda stated "That means they acknowledged them and their blood line as the rightful rulers of our land. If the prince decides to allow the Isle residents to be freed, then we have little choice in the matter."
"That boy is not my king" Professor Tinkerbell's voice was razor sharp, and Jay knew he would have to be careful with this teacher.
"Clearly"
There was a huff as a door opened "I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you of all people would stick up for them after all gypsy you tend to favor the outcasts." A gasp was heard through out the room as voices shouted at the professor for being out of line, but a slammed door told Jay the teacher has left.
"Although I do not agree with Tinkerbell's way of handling the situation I do agree with her, the children of the isle should be kept separate for our students and limited in their education for the remainder of their stay." Captain Smith stated apparently trying to pacify the other professors. Jay couldn't understand what had caused an uproar in the room, but he had every intention of using it, he would have to get closer to this Professor Esmeralda. 'An art teacher huh, I could work with that.' Jay was already coming up with three different ways to start a conversation with her.
"I believe that we should be wary of the children, but to lock them up will change nothing." Professor Cromwell said with a sigh "Supervised interactions with the other student, and place the three magic users in my care, where I will construct a magic class strictly for them that deals with controlling their magic and nothing else."
"What about you Archimedes you have been quiet for a long time." Fair Godmother asks.
"Honestly I have no opinion on the matter. The children need help, but whether we can provide the help, they need I am not sure. The children should not be blamed for the sins of their parents. However, that does not mean that I am comfortable with giving them free range at the school. I will follow any decision that the school decided, but either agree to help better these children or don't. Life hasn't been fair to them and to dangle the idea of equality and freedom in their face just to snatch it back makes us no better than the citizens of the isle." The old man was firm on his tone, and signs of joking long gone from his voice. Jay could respect this mans decision to remain a neutral party; it was one less person he would have to deal with.
Fairy Godmother hummed "Professor Ramirez what do you think?"
"I have no opinion on their magic classes, the idea of them learning magic doesn't sit right, but neither does having ticking time bombs either. All I know is that I will gladly take Carlos into any robotic, mechanic, or upper-level science classes that you allow. The kid is bright, and I want to see what he can do."
"Professor Esmeralda?"
"I think I made it clear that they should be treated like any other students, placed in correct classes magic or robotics. They deserve a chance to step out of their parent's shadows." Jay couldn't tell if the professor's wish for fairness stemmed from pity or personal reasons, but her open heart was going to help Jay one way or another he was sure of it.
"Thank you all for coming and for your opinions, this seemed to take a more heated turn than I expected. We will hold off until the end of the week to make our final decision on where the student will be placed. At the end of the week, please come in with a list of classes you believe the children should partake in. After that, I will take the weekend to create the schedules, and we can finally see where the future takes us." 'So Fairy Godmother makes the last decision' Jay thought not sure if this was good news or not. On the one hand Fairy Godmother seemed to side with Ben on having them there, but on the contrary Fairy Godmother couldn't have a mutiny amongst her staff. Jay wasn't sure if Fairy Godmother could stand firm in her decision, in all honesty, she seemed a bit of a ditzy.
"I am curious though," Professor Esmeralda asked, "Prince Ben is adamant about being fair to these children, but what of the king?"
"What about the king," Fairy Godmother asked her voice a bit higher than normal.
"This is his school, paid by his court, what does he believe should be done with these children."
"The king although the founder of this school leaves all decision to the school board." Jay's eyes narrowed, that sounds like a very political answer if Jay had ever heard one.
"And yet the school board was not involved in reviewing these test, instead you picked six teachers-"
"Professor Esmeralda is there something you wish to say to me, please say it, I encourage all free speech at this school." Fairy Godmother says.
There is silence before the professor speaks "I mean no disrespect, just the proceeding for these children seem to be a bit odd."
"This is an extraordinary situation that needs special attention is all Jay waited until the sounds of scuffling and footsteps faded before moving.
"Now I need appreciate everyone's hard work, but we should all call it a night." With a very cheery good night Fairy Godmother left the room, Captain Smith giving a less enthusiastic good night.
"You think the King would get involved in something like this." Professor Ramirez asks.
"All eyes are on this school right now; everyone knows that these children are here. What do you think?" There was no edge in Esmeralda's voice only sorrow. "Kings" She huffed.
The room was silent again "Well there is nothing we can do about it now." Professor Ramirez said, "We should get some rest we do have classes to teach tomorrow."
Jay waited until everything was silent before moving. 'So much for being simple.' He thought crawling back to his room. 'These teachers don't matter if the King is involved.' Jay was worried convincing or blackmailing a few teachers were easy, but a King. Jay was good, but not that good. 'Think Jay how can you use this?' Jay sighed as different plans went through his head, none having the ending he wanted. 'Royalty always got to screw someone over.' Jay huffed as he grumbled to himself wanting nothing more than to sleep.
