CHAPTER 4

Mal's pov

A boy walked in and the first thing I noticed was his ice blue eyes, they were gorgeous. The teacher, Mrs. Ariel, asked us to quiet down and show a little respect to the new student, we quieted down and she asked him to introduce himself.

"Hello, my name is Ben Kingsley and I'm your new classmate" he said with a nervous smile. Mrs. Ariel thanked him and looked around the classroom for a place where he could sit, her eyes strayed to the back where me, Evie, Carlos and Jay were sitting… 'Oh no. Please please please for the love of Auradon don´t let him-' I couldn't eve finish before Mrs. Ariel cut off my train of thought. "You can sit in the back, in between Mal and Jay." 'Aaand f*** she said it, now the other girls won't stop glaring at me.' I thought with a sigh. Ben started walking towards me and Jay and all the girls in the class glared at me, 'why oh why did we have an empty seat next to us?' Mrs. Ariel said that she had to run to the teachers' lounge and get some papers that she forgot and that we could talk until she came back. Ben reached his seat and carefully sat down. Then he turned toward Jay and reached out his hand. "Hi I'm Ben I hope we can get along... Jay right?" Jay looked at his hand and shook it "Yeah I´m Jay and these are my siblings, Evie, Carlos and Mal nice to meet you" As Jay introduced us one after another, Ben shook our hand. And just my luck, when he was going to shake my hand I got one of my "ticks", a major headache that made me feel like my brain was about to explode. I couldn't help but scream as the pounding in my head grew but I could feel a lot of eyes on me, kill me now.

Ben´s pov

I am so excited but nervous. Who wouldn't be?! It's my first day in a real school since I was always home schooled because my dad, being the president and over-protective, he did not want anything bad to happen to me. I got up and decided to make breakfast for myself as I knew how to cook basic foods. I went into the kitchen and opened the fridge and the cupboards, there I saw some strawberries and all the ingredients for pancakes. I thought pancakes would make a good breakfast and got cooking. When I had made a few pancakes, I took a plate for both the pancakes and strawberries, fork and knife. I ate all pancakes and took the strawberries that were left, and an apple with a sandwich to take with me to school incase the cafeteria food was inedible like my cousins told me before.

Just as I was about to run up to my room and grab the last of my things for school my dad came down to the kitchen. "Good morning dad" I tried to appear as calm as I possibly could while internally freaking out. "Good morning Ben. Excited for your first day of school?" he asked. I smiled big and nodded, I didn't want to tell him I was also scared shitless. Would the other kids like me or would they brand me as a snob because my dad was the president, I really didn't want fake friends. I wanted some friends that wanted to be with me for me and not for who my dad is. "You will take the limo and have at least one guard with you at all times" dad said. I froze and looked at him, what? He knows that everyone will stare and try to be my friend just because I looked rich.

"No I won't be taking the limo and I will not have a bodyguard around me. I just want to be a normal teenager and make some real friends" We started arguing about what I would do and my mom came down and calmed us down, "Honey Ben is going to school because he wants to make real friends, let him decide how he wants it to be for once." she looked at dad with an air of finality and challenge. He tried to argue back but she glared at him and he shut his mouth, gave up and left to his office. I turned to mom and thanked her she just smiled and handed me a phone." It's for emergencies only. If anything happens you just dial the number and either me or Mrs. Potts will answer it"

I accepted the phone before looking at my watch. S*** If I don't leave now, I won't have time to go to the office and get my stuff. I rushed out of the kitchen yelling goodbye over my shoulder and went to grab my backpack and ran out to my car to drive to school. When I entered the courtyard I could feel a lot of eyes on me. I ignored them and went to the office to get my schedule and locker number. Inside the office I was introduced to my homeroom teacher Mrs. Ariel she said that she would lead me to the classroom and asked if I would mind doing a quick introduction of myself, I didn't mind it so we went to the classroom. When we got there she immediately asked the kids to quiet down and show some respect. After they quieted down and I quickly introduced myself, Mrs. Ariel looked around for a place for me to sit. She spotted one in the back of the class and said that I could sit there between two people named Jay and Mal. I made my way there while she ran to get some papers she forgot. I sat down beside the one I think was named Jay and reached out my hand to greet him. "Hi I´m Ben I hope we can get along... Jay right?" He looked at my hand and shook it "Yeah I´m Jay and these are my siblings, Evie, Carlos and Mal nice to meet you" As Jay introduced them I shook their hands but when I was going to shake Mal's hand she started holding her head and nearly pulling her scalp before letting out loud screams, so loud that I'm pretty sure could scare the whole school. Good thing these walls were soundproof.

I heard Evie softly say "Not now" Then, she and the guys surrounded Mal and I just watched, not knowing what to do," Was is something I did? what's wrong? Does she need anything?" I asked worried, they looked at me and shook their heads. "No you didn't do anything. It will pass soon just wait a few minutes" Carlos said in an almost emotionless tone. I looked at them and tried to figure out what happened when the screaming started to cease. I looked over at mal and saw her trying to catch her breath. She looked exhausted and like she would faint any second now. After she calmed a little, her siblings stayed around her for a bit longer. Evie was rubbing her shoulders up and down, trying to soothe her, while Jay and Carlos sat in front of her. "Are you alright now Mal?" Carlos asked with worry lacing his voice. She shakily nodded her head and leaned more against Evie. She looked extremely exhausted that I could almost feel it in my bones. Mrs. Ariel came back to the classroom and once she saw us, she walked over to us quickly and turned to the siblings. "Is she alright? Does she need to go to the nurse's office or does she maybe want to go home?" They looked at each other and shook their head "No, we will stay but if it gets worse we will go home if that's alright?" Evie answered, taking the lead.

"Of course dear, just yell if something happens alright." Then she went back to the front and handed out the papers. She said that it was due in two days, and that we were free to do whatever we wanted the rest of homeroom. Many took out their cellphones or started talking with their friends. I turned towards Mal and Evie. "Hi Mal how are you feeling? Are you still feeling sick?" She turned towards me and I took the time to study her. She had a small and thin frame. Not anorectic but small like petite. She also had a cute button nose and rosy lips, purple hair and her eyes were the most amazing shade of green I had ever seen. I would have lost myself in her beautiful eyes if it wasn't for her voice answering. "No I don't feel sick anymore. Sorry if I scared you, that happens sometimes." Oh my god, her voice. It was a little rough due to the screaming but it sounded so smooth. I smiled and felt relived. "That's good I was a little worried I did something." She gave me a small, tired smile and shook her head. "No you didn't do anything, I'm Mal by the way."

"I´m Ben. Nice to meet you." I gave her a smile and shook her hand carefully. She shook it back and leaned back against her sister, Evie just put her arms tighter around her and allowed her to rest her head against her shoulder. I started talking to the siblings to pass time and I learned that Carlos was the youngest followed by Mal then Evie and last Jay, I found it odd that they all seemed the same age but were siblings in the same class, , but I didn't think much about it. The bell rang and everyone left the classroom to go to their next one. I looked at my schedule and saw that mine was History. The siblings quickly packed their things and asked me what my next class was, I answered and they all smiled. They said they also had History. I felt relieved that I wouldn't be walking through these halls alone and smiled at them. We left the classroom and started walking to the third floor where the History class was held. While we were walking through the hallways, I heard a lot of people whispering and glancing at Mal. I also overheard a few girls from homeroom that were talking about how Mal just started screaming in the middle of class to a pair of other girls and they all snickered and giggled. They were saying things like "She's such a wierdo, screaming like she was going to be murdered in the middle of homeroom. There must be something wrong with that girl." I just thought they were being mean, but I couldn´t help but kinda agree with them something was definitely wrong with Mal, I just didn´t know what.
