Chapter 3: An Awkward Meeting
The sun was shining on the grounds of Arlendia Prep, as a bunch of the school's kids were crowded around waiting to see the new kids from the isle. Many just wanted to see what they looked like, others wanted to see what chaos they would pull and made bets on what they would do and wouldn't do. Then others were dragged their by their friends or parents to see them.
Prince Connor was a bit -no, a bit was an understatement, extremely - nervous. The limo containing the five children of the famous villains he had chosen just pulled up in the driveway about four feet in front of them. He arranged for a grand welcome but looking back on the idea he realized they probably would think it too much. But all he wanted to do is make them feel wanted and that they were happy to be here.
Duchess Amelia, the headmistress of the school stood between himself and his girlfriend Princess Octavia daughter if Princess Olivia as they waited for the new arrivals to exit the limo and meet their new classmates. He was somewhat excited to meet them. From interviews of the Isle of the Lost's resident files he read that these five basically ran things there ... and were very troubled.
Princess Jasmine Tailor and her cousin and best friend Princess Rosemary Lady, stood there and watched the limo pull up, which was standing right next to Connor's girls friend, which most everyone disliked. No one really liked Octavia, but what could they do about it? Nothing, so they mainly just tolerated her.
The Snow Queen's daughter, Snowi was a real beautification and OCD , Patrick son was the strongest among them, plus being the oldest boy, he's was like the big brother of them all, Wenlock's son, Wrndell seemed to be the most charming one, Olivia daughter of Dame Devin was really cruel and didn't care about anything and Lydia's daughter; Lyra, he remembered, was their leader of them plus having Olivia as her right hand girl.
A lot of kids were very upset with this proclamation, his sister, Lorraine didn't even want to come out, because she didn't want to see them. She dreaded them coming here to a "Villain Free Zone". Her three friends were with her as she ranted about everything that could go wrong with them being here.
"OMG Connor, why do you want me to go and welcome them! Their not welcomed in open arms!" Lorraine's voice echoed though the young prince's mind. He wanted his sister to be there, but she didn't want to. This make Connor a little up set, at least he had some supporting him, just not his family.
Connor knew that a lot of kids and parents looked down on his proclamation, but he didn't care, he just wanted to give these troubled teens a second chance at a normal life. But if others tried to do their best to get them sent back, like he knew they'd probably do. Only a few were understanding and okay with it, and had his back.
But as the limo door opened a boy who was wearing dark browns and yellow's tumbled out holding onto what looked like a blue scarf or towel, for dear life, as the other end was being tugged roughly by a muscled teenage boy in a dark blue clothes.
"Ah! Ow! Stop!" the shorter boy, Wendell cried as the taller one, Patrick, held him down with his boot trying to get the object and exclaimed. "You got everything else! Why do you want whatever this is?!"
"Because you want it!" Patrick yelled as if it was obvious that he wanted it really bad then added. "And everyone know I'm older so I get dibs first!"
A young girl with short shoulder length hair in Chinese buns with bangs, brown eyes, light gold eye shadow, pink lip gloss, and soft pink blush, she was wearing A royal blue sleeveless sweetheart neckline top with bottom ruffle, a royal blue knee high flared skirt with small gold ruffles and little gold flowers, gold 2 inch wedge heels with strap, a music charm bracelet on her right with a fingerless royal blue glove on her left hand, a royal blue choker necklace with a treble cleft charm with matching earrings had motioned for the marching band stopped playing and the energetic smiles dissipated into confused and nervous ones.
"Uh oh." The yellow and purple Asian girl mumbled under her breath looking at the two boys and them fighting over what every they had in their hands.
The other three girls stepped out of the car, one with red hair, one with blond, who rolled her eyes at the sight of the boys, and one with blue-hair, who was fixing her outfit making sure everything was perfect, them expecting the red-haired girl, who stopped her before she could do anything else, then she looked at the blonde girl, who put her hands on her hip and tapped her foot, and the blue-haired girl sighed and looked back at the boys.
"No!" The teenage wizard-in-training shouted again as the two boys were still fighting.
"Give it to me!"
"Let go!"
"I can't do that!"
"Yes you can!"
"I'm older than you!"
"So, by two months! I'm more charming and I've got spunk, something you don't have!"
"Give me a break..."
"No way!"
"Just give it to me!"
"Never!"
Dame Devin's daughter glanced over and noticed the squabble and glared at them both, "Guys... Guys! We have an audience!" she snapped, the boys stopping immediately.
"Just, cleaning up after ourselves," Patrick said casually, helping the Wendell to his feet.
Duchess Amelia smiled, "Leave it like you found it." She stated in a sing-song voice. "And by that I mean just leave it." She added firmly, as they chucked everything back into the limo.
"Welcome to Arlendia Prep!" A chorus of students echoed as the headmistress turned around and looked at them, giving them the sign that it was turn to go, so most went back to the school.
Wendell irritated expression turned flirtatious as he sauntered towards a girl with Blonde shoulder length hair, in a high pony, with little red flowers around the hair tie, who was wearing A red silk blouse with a red studded collar and cuffs, a light pink ballerina skirt with red ballet flats, a red tiara that is a flower design, a red flower bracelet with matching earrings that's studs and a three red small beaded necklaces going from small, medium and large.
"Hello foxy, the name is Wendell son of Wenlock." He flashed a smug grin making Octavia let out a nervous laugh and looked at her boyfriend, tightening her arm about his arm.
Then he strolled over to a girl with light brown hair in a french braid with a flower crown who was wearing flower skirt, with her blouse and pearl heels smiled, who smiled at the young wizard. "Hello, dear princess, you look ravishing." Wendell said with a bow, making the young girl blush.
"Uh, thank you." Princess Rosemary Lady said blushing beat red.
Patrick hit the young boy in the arm and said. "Forgive him, I'm Patrick son of Philippe." With that the crowd of kids gasped.
"Wow, they're scared, nice." Olivia said then smiled in a wicked evil way, making some of the kids back up, as she gave Patrick a fist bump.
"Like your new classmates said: Welcome to Arlendia Prep," a perky voice cut through the tension then said with a little curtsy. "I'm Duchess Amelia; Headmistress here at this incredible Prep School."
"Incredible Prep School ..." Olivia mumbled cringing at the headmistress's happy words. For anything it wasn't incredible.
Lyra cocked her head at the headmistress, who was wearing a red jacked and pencil skirt with a ridiculous hat on her head and smirked and then said. "As in Miss Strict, the one who doesn't let princesses have fun?" She knew from a few people back on the Isle that she was stricter than a straight jacket.
"Nice one." Olivia said with a smirk fist bumping Lyra, who smiled wickedly.
Duchess Amelia frowned at the teenage witch's tone and said. "Watch your tone young lady, and I'm not that strict much any more, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna let royalty get away with things. All girls and boys are to act a certain way, that's all. And if you don't follow the rules, there are consequences for your actions."
"Oh, my bad, I'm so sorry, I guess I misjudged you." Lyra fakely apologized with her best innocent and nonchalant smile and added. "I guess, all you want to do is help make the best royals," Duchess Amelia practically melted at the teenage witch's kind words, putting a hand over her heart.
"Thank you dear, I forgive you." The headmistress told the Lyra, who mentally rolled her eyes and thought: 'What a push-over' which was exactly what Olivia thought.
The duchess didn't seem to notice Lyra's expression on her face, "Well that was a long time ago, and I always say 'Don't focus on the past, or you'll miss the future!'." She said while she made mystical hand gestures which got confused glances and arched eyebrows from the VKs.
'Where does she get these crazy quotes? She's a nut case!' Olivia mentally thought rolled her eyes. 'Why can't we just steal the wand now.'
"It's good to finally meet you all," Connor decided to start introductions and he said, "I'm Connor,"
"Prince, Connor; Soon to be king!" Octavia interrupted, getting all giddy and smiley when she loved to brag about him -her boyfriend - being a prince soon-to-be king.
"Like we didn't already know that." Olivia said looking at the red clad princess up and down. It was hard to miss that she was a princess when she had a sparkly crown she was wearing.
The Snow Queen's daughter's eyes lit up at the magical word "prince" and stepped forward, she did a rather formal curtsy and smiled warmly and said. "You had me at prince, My mom's a queen, which, makes me a princess,"
Octavia's fake smile then clicked into place as she replied, "The Snow Queen ..." Then she looked at Olivia and added. "Or Dame Devin has no royal status here," she said sweetly as if informing a child that said something silly and naïve.
'Whoa she's got nerve, just wait till I teach that little prissy B...' She caught herself and replied the word she was going to use with '...Barbie tell me what I am and ain't.' Olivia thought as if Lyra could read her mind as turned to her and nodded in agreement.
Ben laughed nervously at the sudden tension, "This is Octavia," he introduced his girlfriend.
"Princess Octavia daughter of Princess Olivia, his Girlfriend, right Connor?" the young princess said as she clung to his arm as if proclaiming him hers, with a sweetly sickening smile.
"You kidding, who wouldn't thought!" Olivia said with sarcasm dripping for her voice with a sinister smirk and added sarcastically. "And your Mother and I have the same name."
The red-clad princess' face dropped from a smile to a grimace. "Oh, that right."
"I'm Rosemary Lady, Daughter of Queen Anneliese and King Julian, a long time friend on Connor's, its very nice to meet you guys." She said in a friendly way, making the VKs nod.
"And I'm Princess Jasmine Tailor, daughter of Queen Erika and King Dominick." girl with has dark wavy brown hair and bright blue eyes. Her makeup; pale blue eye shadow, pale pink blush and peach lipstick. She has blue and pink highlights, who was wearing fake leather jacket, blue ripped jeans and converse splattered with paint and/or graphittied top with boots, said with a wave.
"Like wise." Lyra said a little to fast with a little bit if snippiness in her voice, which Rosemary or Jasmine wasn't fazed by it.
Olivia noticed Jasmine's hair. "Wicked hair." She slightly complemented just the streaks in her hair, even though Olivia though she could lose the pink, it still was pretty wicked neat, against the others. She didn't think that HKs would be a little rebellious and do streaks in their hair.
"Uh, thank you." Jasmine said with a shocked look on her face that a VK just complimented her hair.
Ignoring the aggressive and rather quite awkward scuffle between the VKs and HKs, Headmistress Amelia continued, "Connor, Octavia, Jasmine and Rosemary, are going to show you all around, and I'll see you tomorrow. The doors of wisdom are never shut!" she said with another flourish of hand gestures again then continued. "But the library hours are from 8 to 11 and as you may have heard I have a little thing about curfews." She then concluded with a wave before departing and heading back to the school.
"Ugh, why curfews!" Olivia whispered to Lyra, who whispered back. "Just because she said it, doesn't mean we have to obey it."
Connor smiled then stepped towards the five villainous teens, he reached to shake Patrick's hand, "It's so, so good to finally me..." he was cut off when Patrick punched his shoulder. He was sure the boy meant to be playful but his fist kind of knocked the breath out of Ben. "Meet you all," he breathed.
"This is a momentous occasion," he shook Lyra's hand, his eyes meeting her bright green orbs and lingering on them, thinking they looked like glowing emeralds, like he had seen them before, but he shook his head and continued on he went to shake Olivia, but she kept her arms crossed and cheesily smiles and he said. "And one that I hope will go down in history,"
"Oh, I'm sure its gonna go down in history alright." Olivia scoffed knowing that they were gonna go down in history for stealing the wand and taking over the kingdom.
As Olivia finished her sentence, he shook Evie's hand and said, "As our two peoples begin to heal."
"Or the day you show five peoples where the bathrooms are," Lyra added with clear sarcasm as she bounced on her heels smashing her lips together, as Olivia snickered at her comment.
Connor sighed but chuckled and said, "A little over the top?"
"A little more than a little bit," the teenage witch replied with a no expression on her face.
"More like ALOT." Olivia added as she slightly shoulder bumped Lyra's arm as the two smiled innocently.
"Well so much for my first impression." Connor said with a slight chuckle. The prince and teenage witch shared a smile.
Octavia's gaze darted back and forth between the two and jealousy sprouting immediately. Even though it was ever so innocent, she didn't like the ora of things between them.
"Hey!" Octavia sounded friendly but had annoyance and jealousy sparkling in her eyes, "You're Lydia's daughter, aren't you?" she asked rudely then continued. "Yeah, you know, Alexa, Ian, Liana and Jeremy, and Melody's kids, and maybe parents do not blame your mom for trying to take over the diamond castle and do whatever it took to get it."
Lyra made a face that said 'is this girl for real?'. Lyra was trying to figure out what her game, but since she didn't even want to dare, but she just wasn't going to let it go.
"And that has anything to do with me, how?" Lyra asked, hoping that the awkwardness to end. "Do I look like I care about what people think of me? Nope not at all, and you can't blame my Mom for wanting to go solo can you?" Lyra replied, her voice and smile dripping with lots of bitter sarcasm.
Octavia tried to recover with another fake grin and a nonchalant wave of her hand and said. "Water under the bridge,"
"Totes!" Added Lyra before the two of them awkwardly fakes laughed with a dramatic sigh.
"And you must be Dame Devin's kid?" Octavia said looking at the blond girl, wondering who she was Dame Devin's kid, because she had blond hair.
"Its on my unknown father's side." Olivia stated reading Octavia's face, who looked shocked at the girls comment.
"How did you ..." Octavia gasped a loss for words at what the young dame said.
"It was written all over you face." Olivia shrugged uncrossing her arms and putting them in her pocket.
"Oh, uh, well, I'm sure ... Delancey would be thrilled ... to have you ... as a sister ... which makes you an aunt?" Octavia said cautiously looking at the young dame's reaction, which was nothing.
Connor and Rosemary could sense that everyone wanted the tension to leave so they decided to break the ice and change the subject. "Okay! So how about that tour?" he clapped his hands together.
"Yes, I'm sure you'll enjoy it." Rosemary added with a smile, as the two started walking towards campus with Octavia clinging to his arm and the villain-kids following them.
"Arlendia Prep, originally built over 300 years ago, kinda like a safe house and converted into a high school by my father when he became king because he didn't like most the boarding schools." Ben explained as the VKs rolled there eyes as he continued. "If you were wondering, which alot of newbies wonder, after this school, you go to Princess Charm school if your a girl and Prince Charming Academy if your a boy."
Snowi was about to say that she might get to go, but was cut of by the blond teenage dame. "Oh yes, the dreaded Charm School, I haven't heard, but how's it going with the ... lottery winners?" Olivia asked, curious about it, not that she cared, she just wanted to hear, and take the information back to her Mother so when they ruled they could take over the Charm School.
"They now take three lottery winners, it gives more girls a chance to be a Lady Royals or Lady-in-waiting's." Rosemary told them over his shoulder.
As they strode into the school, Lyra had had enough of the formalities and decided to get strait to the point of why they were here. "So, you guys have a lot of magic here in The Outside World. Like... wands, and things like that?" she asked, trying not to sound too impatient.
The four royals just smiled. Again. Which was making the VKs a little sick about all the kindness and smiles and everything! They just couldn't wait to steal the wand and rule over them.
"Yeah, it exists, or course. But it's pretty much retired." He explained, "most of us here are just, ordinary mortals."
"Who just, happen to be kings and queens?" Olivia added with a smirk.
Connor looked like he was about to reply, but of course the princess of snobs had to interrupted.
"That's true!" Octavia squeaked in delight to brang, again. "Our royal blood goes back hundreds of years." She said as if the very words were a shiny gold trophy that VKs didn't have.
Wendell pointed a thumb at Snowi, "So does Snowi's and ..." Octavia gave her a look, which made the young wizard shrug and added. "Olivia's."
"But, oh, she and I has no "Royal status" here." Olivia added put finger quotes around royal with a smirk as Octavia tried to think of a reply.
Octavia attempted to wrap Connor's arm around her shoulders but he easily wiggled away. He then spotted a boy on the stairs to his left with glasses and rather tall and lanky appearance.
"Prince Camden!" he called, "Camden, come on down." The boy looked up from his textbook and smiled at Connor before noticing the new arrivals and rushing down the stairs to meet them.
Rosemary gestured to the boy, "This is Camden, he's going to help you with your class schedules and show you guys to your dorms with Rose and Jaz." The young prince explained as the nerdy looking prince scampered to his side with a bright smile.
Ben looked at the VKs and said, "I'll see you later okay?" he then turned to the other V.K.'s, "If there's anything you need feel free to..."
"Ask Camden or Rosemary Or Jasmine." Octavia very nearly snapped with that fake smile.
The red-haired and blond girl just laughed sarcastically again, Octavia joining in as the three had a secret glare battle until the laugh died into a long sigh again. The awkward silence probably would have went on for the rest of the day if the Octavia didn't pull her boyfriend away and leaving Rosemary and Camden with the VKs.
Camden just smiled again before talking, "Hi guys, I'm Princess Courtney's son. As in Ashlynn, Blair, Courtney, Delia, Edeline, Fallon, Genevieve ... and ..." Camden didn't finish the rest of his sentence before Snowi flashed him her charming grin and gave a flirtatious wave and gulped nervously. "Hiya,"
"Here we go," Olivia rolled her eyes as Lyra smirked next to her. Snowi and her flirtatious style of luring boy in, who just break her heart.
"Snowi, Snow Queen's daughter." The blue-haired girl said, her voice soft and smooth like finest silk. Camden just stared open mouthed at her beauty before noticing the others were still there. He cleared his throat and continued reading off his clipboard.
"Okay, so about your classes, I put in the requirements already." Lyra snuck up behind him quietly to see the clipboard herself. "History of Woodsmen and Pirates, Safety rules for the internet ..." he paused as he noticed Lyra there, but ignored her and finished, "Remedial Goodness 101."
"Let me guess," Olivia said as she unwrapped a piece of candy she pulled from her pocket and ate it, "New class?" Camden simply nodded.
"Yes it is, but I'm sure you five will like it!" Rosemary told the VKs in a friendly sweet way.
"Like it, oh no, let me tell ya something sister," Olivia started to tell the young princess in a condescending way as she continued using air-quotes. "I don't do "goodness"."
"I understand, I'm sure you'll find a way to work it out." Rosemary said catching on to what Olivia was saying.
Jasmine handed them the class papers and said. "And also there are other classes you guys can sign up for so you don't have so much time on your hands."
"I'm sure you heard of the phrase 'Idol hands are the work of Devils' right?" Camden stated as the VKs gave him a look of they could care less about what he just told them.
"I'm sure we won't have that much time." Patrick told him snatching a sucker out of Wendell's hand and licking it.
"Dude! Not cool!" Wendell told Patrick, who just smirked.
"Get a grip Wendell, he's being mean, typical, get over it." Olivia told the young wizard, who blew it off as it were nothing.
Lyra gestured to her friends and said to them. "Come on guys, let's go find our dorms."
The five teens followed the teenage witch as she walked up the left staircase. Rosemary then noticed something off and stopped them, "Guys!" She called, getting their attention "Your dorms are that way," she pointed up the right staircase.
The VK's simultaneously rolled their eyes before walking down the left staircase towards the right one.
Camden watched them go while he tried to remember his twelve aunts in the right order on his fingers, "Ashlynn, Blair, Courtney, Delia, Edeline, Fallon, Genevieve ... and."
"Hadley, Isla, Janessa, Kathleen and Lacey." Olivia said as she popped up behind the young prince, making Rosemary laugh, before the young dame left to catch up with the others.
"Well, how is it I can remember all of Seraphina and Wolfie's kittens, but you can remember your own Aunts?" Rosemary asked the royal blue clad boy.
"Doesn't come natural?" He suggested with a quizzical look on his face.
"I see, well, take time, study them, like math." Jasmine said with a little giggle at Camden as he nodded his head.
"Hey guy!" Lorraine's voice echoed though the halls as Rosemary, Jasmine and Camden looked at the princess coming toward them.
"Hi Lorraine." Rosemary said giving a curtsy with a reply curtsy from Lorraine.
"Hi, Lorraine." Camden said shuffling though all his papers in his arms.
"Hey Lorraine." Jasmine said with a smile and wave at the young princess.
"So ... are THEY gone?" Lorraine asked emphasizing on the world "they".
Rosemary nodded, disliking the young princess' attitude to the new kids, but she really couldn't do anything about, so she replied. "Yes, they went to there rooms."
"Oh, ... THEIR rooms." Lorraine sighed with mixed emotions. "Do you know where? Is one of THEM going to be with a HK?"
"No, all I know is that their in a room with a plack that has their name on it and all three girls are sharing a room." Rosemary confirmed.
"Their room is on the left aide of Rosemary and mine." Jasmine stated with a smile, then added. "Izzia and Leah are on the opposite side of them."
Lorraine sighed in relief that they VKs weren't going to be with HKs. "That makes me feel a whole lot better." Lorraine said crossing her arms.
"You know, they don't seem that bad, they seem like regular kids." Rosemary told the princess, who rolled her eyes.
"We do need to get to know them though." Jasmine added with a smile. "Before we say what the are and aren't.
"Just make sure to keep them far away for me." Lorraine said twirling her ring around on her finger.
The royal blue clad boy smiled. "That Snowi girl was nice," he said with a little bit of a in love smile then added. "For a VK." Camden said making Lorraine roll her eyes in annoyance.
"Just because they appear nice, don't mean they are." Jasmine said even though she seamed she could be genuinely nice she still had some doubts about them.
"And to think that we, out of all people have to help them feel at home!" Lorraine exclaimed unhappily and face-palmed then groaned. "Why did Connor have to do this to us!"
"Lorraine! Come on!" One of Lorraine's best friends called her as she looked at the three royals before her and told them goodbye as she departed ways.
