Looks like Chad and Mal are at it again with some of their fights. When will these two stop and become friends? Probably not for a long time.
Mal and Chad still weren't on the best of terms. They occasionally threatened each other with their eyes whenever they passed each other in the halls. Mal just felt the need to hate the young prince after what he did to Evie. It was somehow an instinct for VKs to go into protective mode, or as Mal likes to call it, 'big brother mode' after Jay. Chad, on the other hand, wanted to make it clear that Mal was giving him an unnecessary hate. He thought those things were in the past, or forgotten. Apparently he was wrong.
Chad and Mal bumped into each other in the hall again and things did not go so well.
"Stop bumping into me like that," Mal snapped at him. "You think I do it on purpose? I've been trying to avoid you since you punched me in the gut," Chad snapped back.
Mal crossed her arms. She promised herself she wouldn't blow up like last time.
"Hey, it was your fault. You said my painting was awful," she stated.
"I thought it was a compliment since you came from the Isle of the Lost and everything there is opposite," Chad explained.
Mal raised an eyebrow. Was he serious? 'This kid really is dim-witted,' she thought. "I really want to punch you right now," she said.
"Can you not? My body can't take any more abuse," Chad asked, putting his hands in front of him in protection. Mal sighed and dropped her arms off her chest.
"Fine. Just give me one reason why," she stated. "I thought I just gave you one," Chad said, frowning in confusion.
"No, that doesn't count. Give me a real reason, Charming!" Mal demanded.
Chad narrowed his eyes and rolled his hands into fists. "Fine. You want a real reason? I'll give you one. Because I'll tell Ben and he'll have you sent back to the Isle of the Lost. I'm pretty sure he'll trust his best friend more than his new villain girlfriend," he said.
Mal boiled with anger. "First of all, Ben wouldn't just send me back to the Isle of the Lost just for punching someone. Second, I don't think he'll trust his jerk friend enough to do that!" she practically shouted.
"Oh, I'm the jerk?"
"Yeah,"
"You're the one who spelled Ben and wanted to steal the wand!"
Jay and Lonnie could hear the two arguing and decided to jump in and defend Mal.
"Hey, back off, Chad!" Jay warned. He was standing in between the two, facing the young prince. Mal sighed thinking of how annoying Jay was when he always steps in her fights and tries to deal with it for her. It was sweet and all, but it was getting kinda old. She folded her arms across her chest again.
"She started it!" Chad exclaimed, pointing his finger at Mal, who rolled her eyes.
"Chad, you're acting like a child," Lonnie said, trying to sound sweet since Chad was still her friend and all.
"No, I'm not!" Chad whined. Lonnie raised an eyebrow while he realized how he spoke. "Okay, maybe a little," he admitted, still a little riled up.
Chad didn't like to admit he was wrong, but saying 'a little' felt okay to say. He just wished Lonnie and Jay weren't so nosy to butt in on everything he does. Mostly when he argues with Mal.
"But that's not the point. She's the one who said she wanted to punch me," he stated. "But you're the one who threatened to send me back to the Isle of the Lost if I did," Mal retorted.
Lonnie gasped at the shock that Chad would do such a thing. What Mal said also made Jay stare menacingly at the young prince, who leaned back in fear. Jay grabbed his shirt with one hand and rolled the other into a fist. Lonnie covered her eyes and hid half of her body behind Mal.
"I can't watch," she stated. She knew what was going to happen. Lonnie wasn't one to enjoy violence. Not very many kids in Auradon would enjoy it so watching her friend get punched was out of the question even if he was being kind of rude.
"Not the face! Not the face!" Chad exclaimed while covering his charming face with his arms. Before Jay could punch him, he was stopped by a, "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Ben had now made his way into the situation. "What's going on here?" he asked, looking back and forth between Mal and Lonnie and Jay and Chad for an answer.
"It's all Jay's fault. He interfered with our fight," Mal stated. Jay put his punching arm down and glanced back at Mal and frowned.
"Hey! I was trying to help you," he defended himself.
"You were not! You were just trying to find an excuse to punch Chad!" Mal began to argue with Jay while he was still holding Chad by his shirt. Ben decided to ignore those two and turned to Lonnie.
"What happened?" He asked. Lonnie's hands were no longer covering her eyes and she stepped forward a little.
"We heard Mal and Chad fighting so Jay and I, well mostly Jay, started to defend Mal and then he was about to punch Chad until you showed up," Lonnie explained.
Ben was speechless. He looked at Jay. "Let him go," he ordered. Jay narrowed his eyes.
"Not until he says sorry for threatening Mal," he said as he glanced back at Chad.
Ben widened his eyes in shock. He decided not to ask about it right now. Chad wasn't speaking. He just glanced at Lonnie and Ben, thinking they were going to help him get away from Jay's grip. Apparently not.
Seeing that Chad wasn't apologizing, Jay raised his fist up again to punch him. Chad got scared again and said, "Alright, alright. I'm sorry," while covering his face with his arms again.
Jay let his arm fall down to his side as he released his grip on Chad's shirt, leaving the part he was holding a little wrinkled. Ben sighed in relief that no violence happened. Being the new king meant making peace and what better way to practice than at Auradon Prep?
"Great! My peace-making skills are getting better," Ben said, earning looks from his friends.
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that," Jay stated. His peace-making skills? Jay was the one who made Chad apologize. All Ben did was ask what happened.
While they were talking, Chad walked away and disappeared through the halls. The others didn't notice, but when they did, they just shrugged it off.
"Can you please stop interfering with my life, Jay?" Mal asked. Jay raised an eyebrow.
"Did you just say 'please'?" he asked, about to chuckle. Mal frowned. "It's called manners. Pay attention in class," she retorted.
"Well, I wouldn't have to keep interfering with your life if you'd stop picking fights all the time," Jay answered Mal's question. Mal growled.
Ben and Lonnie knew where this was going. Mal has done it again. First it was Chad, now it's Jay. Lonnie left since she didn't want to stick around for any more arguing. Looks like Ben has another chance to practice his peace-making skills.
Ok, to be honest, I don't hate Chad, so this was pretty hard to make. But I hope you still think it's good. Next will be a Cane/Janelos or whatever their ship name is.
