Mal's POV
As soon as Ben pulls up in front of the school his parents come running to us, worried looks on their faces.
"Ben you're back! We were so worried..." Belle confesses. "You cancelled all your meetings... What happened?" She ask switching looks from Ben to me.
He gets out of the bike and helps me do the same.
"There were other problems, more importante ones, which I need to resolve before I could actually have those meetings. I'm sorry for getting you concerned." He answers while looking at me.
King Adam approaches us and looks at me with a serious expression on his face.
"And those problems you mention are related at all with Mal?" He asks and I can sense the disapproval on his voice.
"Ben, I'll get going. I'll leave you to talk to your parents." I whisper to Ben but he hold my hand, fixing me in place.
"You're not going anywhere yet." He whispers back. "Yes, dad, those problems were related to Mal. I am sorry if you don't aprove it but that is actually none of your concern. I am the King now and, as a King I have to make sure everyone who lives in Auradon is well, especially the person who saved us all from a possible war." Ben states and his tone is controlled and firm.
His parents look at him with kind of shock in their faces but it soon fades away, being replaced with pride I think... I can't possible be sure, no one has ever looked proud of me. But I can't help but feel like that about Ben, and happy actually, for standing out for me. He sure made a good start to proving he cares about.
Belles smiles softly at me. "You're right, Ben. I am sorry, Mal... I didn't mean to offend you. It's still hard having you around. She confesses while caressing my shoulder and I give her a shy smile.
"I can understand your concerns but it's like Ben said, I did save you. I think I deserve some credit for that... Now, if you will excuse me." I reply and walk as fast as I can to the hall of the school.
As much as it felt so good to have Ben defending me, I just had no patience to stand there and hear his parents start na argumente about the fact that I was a VK, as the other kids were calling us at school now.
I head to the dorm, just wanting to lay down after the crappy day I had. I open the door and sight.
"Seriously, guys?"
In front of me are Evie, Jay and Carlos, all looking expectantly at me. Evie is the first to one to talk.
"So how was it? Did you guys solve everything? Are you together now?" She asks from her bed, her eyes sparkling with the possibility of what she thinks happened being true.
I shake my head and Jay chuckles.
"Evie, do you really think Mal would forgive him that easily? She probably kicked the guy's butt."
I giggle a little and shake my head. "Jay is right, I did not forgive him yet but didn't kick his butt either. I am going to make him prove that he princes need to learn that they can't everything they want just by snapping! As long as he doesn't sing me a song in public again I'll be fine." I tell them, sitting on my bed.
"That's my girl!" Carlos exclaims and we all laugh.
Evie sighs but then smirks. "As much as I really wanted to see you guys together because, well you know, I am Bal fan number one..."
"Bal fan? What are you saying E.?" I ask confused.
"You know Mal plus Ben gives Bal... Anyways, as I was saying, even though I am you guys fan number one, he does need to suffer a little or a lot, doesn't matter... As long as he suffers... And I think I will use that strategy with Doug too... Well thought, Mal." Evie continues making us laugh again.
I shrug. "Fine with Evie. Just don't go around saying Bal, okay? That is too..."
"Cute?" Carlos tries and I nod.
"Yeah, exactly!" I confirm and Jay nods too.
"Fine..." E. agrees while rolling her eyes. "But it was good though, you have to admit, guys."
I pick up a pillow and throw it at her, making her shot me a death glare.
