Chapter 3

Ben's POV

That night I slept like an angel. Not that I usually didn't because I did, but I felt light, happy.

I was already sure that Mal was good but I was beyond glad to know that she finally understood it. Yes, she tried to steal the wand at the Coronation, yes she "threatened" me, but that was not what she really wanted. That was what Maleficent wanted, and Mal was not Maleficent. At all!

Mal was… I don't even know… Everything… I loved her perfect imperfections. She was nothing like Audrey or the other girls in Auradon and that was what made her so special.

Audrey was just too perfect. Everyone found that we were the perfect couple and that was the reason we got together. And she was pretty too but that was all. She was too self-absorbed and sometimes she could be really mean… I had caught her once or twice criticizing other girls… Besides, I never loved her and even before Mal came to Auradon, I felt I couldn't take it anymore. And my mom didn't like her too…

Being with Audrey was exhaustive. She would always comment everything that I did, telling me not to do this or to do that… And talk about herself ALL THE TIME! I mean, it's not that I don't like to hear girls talk, I do, but when the subject is always the same it kinda gets boring…

On the other side, being with Mal was so peaceful. She was reserved which made me very curious about her and I loved to hear her voice. It was so sweet and adorable, like her. Although she would never agree with this. She likes to keep the bad girl posture but I am pretty sure it is only a scam to hide her feelings. I guess she must have been through a lot and that makes her need to hide what she truly feels…

But now that she is here and that she is with me, I am going to make her feel well and confident so she can open-up with me. That will be a big challenge I am sure. But one that means a lot to me.

So, what I want to say with all this, is that my night was good because I had everything that I wanted. My life was complete and, although I was a King now and that would change my whole life, I was sure the future would be bright.

I had two meetings in the morning to discuss what strategies I would adopt to the kingdom. Now I had 2 free hours before the lunch in Auradon Prep to celebrate my Coronation. Then, I had 2 more meetings. So my day was, basically, all scheduled.

Since I wanted to check on Mal and the others and see if they were okay, I headed straight to Auradon Prep after my second meeting was over.

When I got there, my phone beeped, revealing I had received another email. It was the 20th today… Guess, being a King means this.

I sat on one of the tables where in the common area, so I could read the email. It was from Aurora and Prince Philip. They wanted to convoke a meeting to discuss what would happen to the villain kids. Crap… I have to get the tape from the Coronation to show everyone and check it myself… I want to know what happened while I was frozen and what the villain kids (okay they really need another name…) did!

All of a sudden, I hear two hand hit the table and Evie leaning on it. Behind her were standing Jay and Carlos holding Dude.

"Listen up, Benny-Boo!" Said Evie with a sarcastic tone looking at me. "You better not hurt Mal because if you do… I promise I will kill you with my bare hands… And if you try to hide… Don't even try! Because I will ask my magic mirror and it will tell me where you are… And when I find you… You are gonna wish you never got us out of the Island!" She threatened giving me a wicked expression. I looked at her shocked with her attitude and then I felt a hand in my shoulder. It was Jay.

"Yeah, Ben. And I am gonna show you why they used to call me the "nightmare boy". Because nobody messes up with my sister, not even the King." Added Jay hitting my shoulder hard.

"Unless you want to be turned into a coat." Sated Carlos lifting his left eyebrow.

"Got it, Ben?" Asked Evie getting closer. I nodded feeling a bit intimidated.

"Calm down, guys! I am not going to hurt her. I promise! Hurting her would be like hurting myself…" Evie's expression soften and she sighed "Awww… That was so cute…" But then it hardened again "But I am still gonna keep an eye on you. Because, just like Jay said, nobody messes up with our family and Mal is family!"

Jay and Carlos nodded behind her. "I know, I know! Don't worry I won't hurt her! But if I do, which I won't, I will be more than willing to suffer whatever consequences you guys have to give me!"

"Good." Stated Evie and then she smiled. "So how's your day going? Did you have problems because of what happened yesterday?"

I was shocked with how fast she passed from threatening Evie to sweet Evie… "Oh… Don't worry with that! Really! Everything is under control!"

Evie smiled and the guys sat next to her, in front of me. We talked for a while. They loved my party because they never had one similar back on the Island. And I was so happy that they had a chance to experience it. Evie said she used to have birthday parties but nothing fancy, just the best you could have there. Jay and Carlos din't really care about their birthdays; they said they never were special days anyway but they like to spend it with their friends…

I felt really sorry for them but would try and make it up to them by throwing up a great party in their birthdays! Mal would probably kill me! But Evie said she was not even allowed to celebrate her birthday so… Speaking of her…

"Guys, did you see Mal?" I asked, I hadn't seen her today and was really excited to.

Evie giggled "When I woke up I tried to wake her but she said that unless there was a fire in the dorm she wouldn't be leaving it soon… She was really exhausted from yesterday because of eve…"

While Evie was talking, I saw Mal walking towards our table and I smiled. She was wearing a raspberry and purple jacket with a black pair of leggings with purple details. She looked beautiful.

When our eyes met, she smiled too and looked down.

Evie clapped her hands making me look at her. "Hey" Where are you? You are smiling to yourself… That's so strange…" "Yeah, man…" Agreed Carlos.

Just then, Mal reached our table. "Hey, guys!" The three of them turned back and saw Mal.

"Ohhh… Now I get it!" Said Evie. Mal looked at her confused and then sat next to me.

I wrapped my arm around her waist and kissed her hair. "Hi."I said. "Hi. How's your first day as a King going?"

"Oh… You know busy" She smiled and then said "I need to talk to you…" I nodded.

Evie and the others started to get up but I paused them. "You stay. Me and Mal are going somewhere." They nodded and sat back.

Mal and I got up. "See you later, guys!" Mal said. "Bye!" The other three said and I saw Evie give me that look again as if she said `Don't forget what I told you!´

I took Mal's hand in mine and she accepted squeezing it. "Wanna go for a walk?" She nodded and followed me. I thought about going to the Enchanted Lake but there would be a long ride so I decided to go to what once was my mother's garden.

It was a place, which was more reserved, not many kids would go there and it was beautiful. The perfect place to talk to Mal. Yesterday she had been through a lot so I didn't ask her much but today I needed to.

I wasn't going to accuse her or anything! I just wanted to know what happened and what led to yesterday. And I knew she wanted to talk about that too.

We sat on one of the benches and looked at each other. I knew this would be a tough conversation to her so I held both her hands in mine and kissed them, trying to make her more comfortable.
