ELIRA'S POV
Today was the day. The Isle Kids were arriving at Auradon Prep. And as Ben's royal adviser, I was to help greet them alongside him, Audrey and Fairy Godmother. After a final check of the rooms for all of the VK's that were arriving, and a quick once over of my outfit, I made my way to the front of the school. I was dressed in an ice blue, short-sleeved dress that reached my knees, but the skirt stuck out a little bit, with matching blue heels. My hair was pinned back, out of my face. "Everything is set for the Isle Kids." I said, stepping up next to Fairy Godmother. "Their rooms are cleaned and their school supplies have been added to the rooms."
"Thank you, Elira." Fairy Godmother said with a kind smile, which I returned. "Oh, look, here they come now." The Band started to play as a limo rounded the corner. I smiled as the limo came to a stop in front of us. My smile fell when two boys tumbled out of the car, each tugging on the end of a posh scarf. One was significantly smaller than the other, with black and white hair wearing red and black. Carlos, Cruella's son no doubt. The other had long hair covered by a beanie and was wearing yellow and red. Jay, Jafar's son.
"You got everything else, why do you want whatever-this-is!" The white-haired boy screeched as the band came to an abrupt stop,
"Because you want it!" The long-haired boy replied, still pulling. As we approached the limo, two girls then exited the limo. One had blue hair, and held herself like a princess, I could only assume she was Evie, the daughter of the Evil Queen. The other had short purple hair and was dressed in purple and green leather. Maleficent's daughter, Mal.
"Guys, guys, we have an audience!" She said through gritted teeth. Jay spat out a candy he was holding in his teeth.
"Just cleaning up!" He said, looking at the people as he pulled Carlos to his feet.
"Leave it like you found it~!" Fairy Godmother sang, "And by that I mean just leave it." She said seriously. Jay grabbed everything from the limo and threw it back in. He then noticed Audrey and me. He approached us with a playful smirk.
"Hello foxy ladies." He said flirtatiously, "The name's, Jay." Audrey laughed for a second then stopped.
"I'm flattered, but unfortunately you're not my type." I told him.
"Welcome to Auradon prep." Fairy Godmother said, putting her head between us, "I'm Fairy Godmother, headmistress." She gave a little curtsy as Jay stepped back.
"The Fairy Godmother!" Mal said, surprised, "As in, Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo?" She asked, waving her hand around like she was waving a wand.
"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-you-know-it." She said with a smile.
"Yeah you know, I've always wondered what it felt like for Cinderella when you just appeared, out of nowhere with the sparkly wand, and warm smile. And that sparkly wand!"
"That was a long time ago, and as I always say, don't focus on the past or you'll miss the future!" Fairy Godmother waved her hands in front of her face to indicate magic. Ben, Audrey and I stepped forward.
"It's so good to finally meet you all." Ben said with a smile, "I'm Ben-"
"Prince Benjamin." Audrey interrupted, "Soon to be king."
"You had me at 'Prince'" Evie sighed, "My mum's a Queen, which makes me a Princess." She stepped up and curtsied.
"The Evil Queen has no royal status here." Audrey said, "And neither do you." The girl stood up straight and glared daggers at her, stepping backwards.
"This is Audrey." Ben said awkwardly, gesturing to the pink-clad girl beside him.
"Princess Audrey." She corrected, "His girlfriend." Audrey grabbed his hand possessively, tucked her chin and gave a smile. "Right Bennyboo?" Ben gave a short laugh.
"I'm Elira-" I started.
"Princess Elisira." Audrey but in.
"Just call me Elira."
"Ben, Audrey and Elira are going to show you all around, and I'll see you all tomorrow." Fairy Godmother said, clasping Ben and Audrey's hands, "The doors of wisdom are never shut!" She threw open Ben and Audrey's hands. "But the library hours are from eight to eleven and I have a little thing about curfews." She explained, then she left with the band in toe.
"It is so so-" Ben started as he went to shake hands with Jay but he punched Ben in the arm, "Good to finally meet you all." He shook Mal's hand. The two seemed to stare at each other before Ben moved onto Carlos. I hid a smirk, that was going somewhere, I could tell. I followed on the handshake line after Audrey. I smiled politely at the new students, shaking their hands as Ben continued his speech."This a momentous occasion, and one I hope will go down history. Chocolate?" Ben asked as he shook Carlos' hand, "As the day our two people's began to heal." He continued. Once we had shaken everyone's hand, we stepped back.
"Or the day you showed four people where the bathrooms are!" Mal said, imitating his tone,
"A little bit over the top?"
"A little more than a little."
"Well, so much for my first impression." The two locked eyes before looking away again.
"Hey, you're Maleficent's daughter, aren't you?" Audrey asked, looking at Mal, who rolled her eyes, "You know what I totally don't blame your Mother trying to kill my parents and stuff."I rolled my eyes. "Oh, my mum's Aurora. Sleeping-"
"Beauty." Mal interjected, "Yeah I've heard the name. And I totally do not blame your grandparents inviting everyone in the whole world except my mother, to their stupid christening."
"Water under the bridge!"
"Totes!" Mal plastered on a giant fake smile. They both laughed and dropped out at the same time.
"Ok! So how 'bout a tour?" Ben asked, trying to divert the conversation. Audrey linked her arm with Ben's as he turned. "Auradon prep was originally built over three hundred years ago and was converted into a high school by my father when he became King." He explained as we approached a statue of King Beast. Ben clapped his hands twice and the statue started to change shape until it was a beast. Carlos yelped and jumped into Jay's arms. Ben looked over at him, "Carlos, It's ok, my father wanted his statue to morph from beast to man, to show that anything is possible."
"So do you have magic, here in Auradon?" Mal asked, "Like wands and things like that?"
"Yeah, it exists, but it's pretty much retired." Ben explained, "All of us here are just ordinary mortals." I cleared my throat, "Most of us."
"Who happen to be Kings and Queens." Mal rolled her eyes as she spoke.
"That's true!" Audrey piped up as she moved Ben's arm to wrap around her shoulder, "Our royal blood goes back hundreds of years!" She bragged. Ben gave an awkward chuckle and looked as if he wanted to get his arm off Audrey,
"Doug! Doug come down here!" Ben called, moving over towards the boy with glasses. Ben wrapped his arm around Doug's shoulders, "Guys, this is Doug, he, along with Elira, will show you around and help with your schedule." Ben walked back over to us, "I'll see you later ok?" He said, looking mostly at Mal, "And if you need anything, feel free to-"
"Ask Doug! Or Elira!" Audrey interrupted. Mal and Audrey shared another exaggerated laugh before Audrey took hold of Ben's hand and lead (read dragged) him away.
"Elira, I'll meet up with you later!" Ben shouted behind him. I nodded to him, giving Ben a small wave goodbye.
"Hey guys, I'm Dopey's son." Doug introduced, "As in Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy and…" He trailed off after seeing Evie, "Hi-ho." Evie sashayed over to him,
"Evie, Evil Queen's daughter." She said flirtatiously, Doug snapped out of his daze,
"So yeah, about your classes I put in the requirements already." Mal stepped behind him and looked over his shoulder, "History of Woodsman and Pirates, Safety Rules for the Internet and," He cleared his throat, glancing at the purple-haired girl. "Remedial Goodness 101." He said sheepishly,
"Let me guess." Mal started, popping a candy into her mouth, "New class?" Doug nodded his head. "Come on guys, let's go find our dorms." Mal stated. The four of them started up the nearest staircase.
"Uh, your dorms are that way guys." Doug pointed to the staircase on the other side.
"Come on ladies, I'll show you our wing." I said. I lead Mal and Evie to our rooms in the Prep. I opened the door for them and let them walk in. Their room was just the basics, practically exactly how mine was when I first arrived. It was pink. There were two pink beds, two white dressers, photos of princesses who, I am assuming, had lived in this dorm previously, there was one desk and a table in the middle.
"This place is so amaz-" Evie started to say before Mal cut her off,
"Gross." She said.
"I know right, amazingly gross ew." Evie corrected.
"I am going to need some serious sunscreen." Mal said, "E." Mal pointed to one of the windows. Evie scurried to pull one of the curtains closed while Mal did the other. "Phew, that is much better." Mal stated, turning around. She then saw me leaning on the doorframe and her eyes narrowed, "What do you want?"
"I just wanted to let you know that if you ever need anyone to vent to about the troubles of Auradon, don't hesitate to come to me." I said, "I know what it's like to come to a completely new school not knowing anyone. My room is just down the hall, fourth door on the left if you ever need to talk to me." I gave the two a small smile, closing their door as I retreated into the hall.
