It has been six years since Melody found me drifting outside of the Isle's barrier. I found myself in a hospital close to Triton's Bay.

I pretended to be asleep when Melody and her family came to visit and was shocked when I heard that they wanted to adopt me even though my mom is alive and kick on the Isle of the Lost.

Funny, Ursula's enemies want to adopt a VK.

Within those few days I realized that some royals dislike King Beast because he never listens to them.

They've tried their best to convince him to bring the children from the Isle of the Lost here to Auradon, but you know how stubborn he is – obviously the answer was no.

Things are not all good in Auradon as the villains thought.

There's so much drama and chaos that happens behind closed doors. Every hero has a dark secret hidden at the very back of their closet and right now I'm the dirtiest secret hidden in the castle of Triton's Bay.

Everyone else in Auradon thinks that I am the long lost cousin of Prince Eric who lost her parents in a fire that happens a few years ago.

Eric and Ariel made sure that I stayed out of the spotlight.

The only people that met me were the daughters of Mulan, Fairy Godmother and Rapunzel. Then there's the son of Aladdin and Jasmine and last the son of Dopey.

It took a while for me to get used to this new life.

I had the looks of a princess (thanks to the glamour spell), but I had to act like one as well. It wasn't hard because I was used to acting.

Melody is older than me by a month. She's the rebellious type. Her parents grounded her for a month for swimming too close to the island of villains.

Then there's Arabella, my adoptive cousin. She's a bit like Melody, but knows when enough is enough. She doesn't push buttons like her elder cousin.

We're the same age, but I'm two months older than her.

I didn't have much to catch up in schoolwork. Most of the subjects taught here are taught on the Isle. Thank goodness I didn't have to be in a class with people younger than me.

How embarrassing would that be?

Anyways today is my first day at Auradon Prep. Doug showed me around campus since the others were busy with their daily activities.

Fairy Godmother made sure that no paparazzi will enter the school grounds.

They have no clue how I look like because I was castle schooled and that my face was covered. I was scared that the villains on the Isle would recognise me that's why I mostly stayed indoors away from the public eye.

Whoops, bell's gonna ring in ten minutes.

Gotta go.

Love, Mal.

oOo

The son of Queen Belle and King Beast managed to get to school on time. He was stuck in an emergency council meeting with the sidekicks and his father.

He knew that there was so much to being a king, but he didn't know that he had to sacrifice the last of his teenage years.

Prince Ben was too much like his mom; putting the kingdom's needs above his own.

It wouldn't be long until he takes his dad's place as king of Auradon.

The best part about his training to be king is that he avoids his self-proclaimed girlfriend, Audrey. Everytime he tried to break it gently to her, she would burst into crocodile tears.

Audrey just knew how to guilt trip him.

It's no secret that she only likes him because he is next in line for the throne and if she's lucky she'll be crowned queen of Auradon.

He promised himself that as soon as he sees Audrey, he will break up with her.

Ben walked towards his class in a daze.

Aziz noticed this. "Everything okay? You seem out of it."

"I'm fine, why?" Ben asked, confused.

"You haven't listened to a word I said," Aziz answered. "You've been zoning out. What gives? Is it Audrey again? Did her favorite store run out of pink nail polish again?"

Ben shook his head.

"Benny bear!"

Ben groaned hearing that horrid nickname.

"Catch you later," Aziz said before Audrey reached them.

This is it, Ben thought. He turned to face Audrey and her two best friends, Ally and Gladys.

Audrey was about to kiss Ben, but he turned only for her to kiss him on the cheek. Audrey hid her irritation at her boyfriend always avoiding kissing.

"Where have you been lately? I haven't seen you in ages. It's like you're avoiding me," Audrey said.

"Ladies, can I have a moment alone with Audrey?" he asked her two best friends.

Alarms rang in their heads.

They left the couple, bit hid away round the corner to listen in to their conversation.

This is it. He's going to ask me to the coronation, Audrey squealed in her thoughts. Grammy is going to be so happy that I manage to snag the future king. I can just see it, Queen Audrey of Auradon. That has a great ring to it.

"And that's why I have to break up with you."

Audrey snapped out of her thoughts.

"Excuse me, what?" Audrey snapped.

"Audrey, don't make this harder than it already is," Ben said. "We were never going to work out. We would have been miserable and at each other's throats. It's better if we find other people. I'm sure you will find someone who will treat you better than I ever did."

Ben kissed Audrey on the cheek and left her standing in the hallway.

Ally and Gladys came out of their hiding place. They were about to comfort their best friend.

"What. Just. Happened?" Audrey asked.

"Ben broke up with you," Gladys answered. "Oh Audrey…"

"No," Audrey growled, surprising her friends. "He didn't."

"Gladys, she was off in her own world again not listening to what Ben says," Ally said. "I'm not surprised he…"

Audrey glared at Ally.

Gladys shook her head.

She loved how honest her whimsical friend is, but sometimes there are certain things she must not say in front of Audrey.

"This is all a nightmare," Audrey said to no one in particular. "When I wake up all is right with the world. He didn't break up with me. I'm going with him to the coronation and I will be Queen of Auradon."

Gladys sighed.

Sometimes she wondered why she was best friends with Audrey in the first place.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!"

Audrey's screams echoed through several hallways.

Several students and teachers came out of their classes. Ally and Gladys rushed Audrey off to their dorm before anyone saw her break down.

Ben sighed hearing Audrey scream from down the hall. He felt guilty for breaking up with her at the beginning of the school year, but he didn't love her.

For once Ben had to listen to his heart like his mom said.

He tried his best to fall in love with Audrey. She could be sweet and charming when she wanted to be, but when she doesn't get her way she acts like a brat.

Ben felt a huge burden off his shoulders.

Now he has to focus on his duties as future king.

He only has one month to go before he is crowned king of Auradon.

What the two royals did not know was that somebody was recording the break up.

"Hmmm, wonder what Aurora and Phillip would say now about their precious daughter."

Baby blue nails typed a status update that was bound to rock the perfect world of Audrey.

oOo

Poor Princess Audrey. Looks like she'll never become queen. Did she really love Prince Ben or was only using him to be queen? #royallydumped.

oOo

Fairy Godmother sighed.

She felt a headache coming on.

The meeting with Queen Leah was a nightmare. She pulled Audrey out of the school or a spa vacation to get away from the negative spotlight.

"Here," Belle handed her a cup of mint tea. "You need it."

Fairy Godmother was having tea with Queen Belle.

"Thank you," Fairy Godmother said.

"I find that mint tea helps after dealing with Queen Leah," Belle stated. "That dragon has been a thorn on mine and Adam's side for ages."

Fairy Godmother was gratetful for these quiet times where she and her closest friends would gossip, chat and unwind without any worries.

It was no secret with the Ladies that Belle disliked Queen Leah because of her snobby attitude and the way she has been raising Audrey.

Poor Aurora doesn't spent a lot of time with her own daughter because of Queen Leah taking over the maternal role.

"I'm just happy that we don't have to deal with her and Audrey for a while," Fairy Godmother said.

oOo

It was already halfway through the day and already the break up between Ben and Audrey spread like a wildfire all because of someone who posted a video of their break up on InstaRoyal.

It was time for lunch and Ben didn't feel like going to the cafeteria.

He decided to hide in the library.

Not a lot of students would dare go to the library during lunch hour.

Ben sat by the desk far from the library entrance not knowing that someone else was already there busy doing homework.

"Hiding from someone?"

Ben jumped seeing an unfamiliar face.

oOo

The lives of princes and princesses are going to be rocked.

Be good Auradon.

Someone's watching.

-xoxo

A/N: Sorry, I had to edit this chapter because I felt that the relationship Mal and Ben were moving too fast. I want to build up before anything else happens, but don't worry they will be together.
