20 YEARS LATER

~CHAD~

Delta Iota Sigma, is the head of Greek life at Auradon University. Guys and girls have killed (allegedly) for a chance to pledge to the campus's unconventional, but successful, system of having both a sorority and fraternity under the same organization, to earn its life changing privileges.

Leading DIS's fraternity chapter at AU and its respective Mickey House is me (obviously), Chad Charming. My father is of course old money and basically has cash flying out of his asshole. My two right hand men are…well I didn't actually memorize their names since life is so short. I just call them Chad #2 and Chad #4 to save time.

Chad #2 is a football star whose mother owns and manages a chain of pricey international restaurants. I hear they use a lot of ethnic spices. I'm sort of scared to eat there. #2's almost as good looking as me so I had to make sure I put him in a position where he'd be my lesser. He's the first black member of Mickey House in like 20 years.

Then there's Chad #4, a huge dork that I converted into something tolerable. He's the newest active member of Mickey House. He used to be a band geek but I beat that out him when he became a pledge. Anyway, #4's father made a killing in mine exploration but made some dumb financial decisions and eventually went bankrupt. I, being a saint, asked my daddy to buy the company from #4's father. That way he wouldn't become homeless and be even grosser and stuff. For keeping him out of rags, #4 sort of owes his life to me

There was a Chad #3 who was a Scottish exchange student and of course a pasty redheaded ginger. I wanted him in DIS because he would make Mickey House look hella more diverse and welcoming and stuff (even though we had Tyler for that already), and hopefully get the house more grants and attention from the national organization. #3 was weird though and wanted to major in drama as well as be a member DIS too. I told him that Mickey House DID NOT get involved with lame shit like that and you know #3 actually quit the fraternity!

I confronted him afterwards in the auditorium while he was setting up some stupid props for some weird play that involved white hoods, torches, crosses, and nooses for some reason. #3 had the nerve to say he'd rather die than go back to Mickey House because I was a quote on quote 'awful person'. Even putting the rope prop around his neck and pretending to hang himself. What a prick. That was when the prop pulled him up toward the rafter. Guess it wasn't tied down properly or something because it yanked him up so hard he actually got hanged over the stage. It was sort of funny in a Shakespearean kind of way. I mean I told him Drama was lame. I told him.

My house slave, the Charmington family housekeeper that followed me to campus, Dukey, tried to console me, saying I must have been traumatized seeing a friend of mine die like that. I'm only quoting him though as I made sure to slap him on top of his stupid pompadour for even assuming I considered #3 a friend.

Sure I may be a bit rough on my minions, but that's how my daddy is, and he's richer than Bill Gates, so it can't be wrong. And hey, things happen. It's a new semester now and new pledges would be arriving to join Mickey House today. The idea of seeing those trust fund plebes quake in fear always riled me up. I honestly can't wait to tear them apart. Inside and hopefully out too.

SCREAM KINGS

PART 1

"Your Chadness."

"You two know we've got freshies coming in tonight," Chad's voice boomed as he stood atop his sky blue super yacht in front of his two subordinates. He pointed in the direction of Chad #2 and Chad #4 as they were sunbathing on the deck. "We're gonna show them how a real man lives. How Mickey House isn't for bitch boys." He paced back and forth. "WE'LL SHOW THEM HOW WE EMBODY THE MANLIEST OF MEN!" Chad screamed.

#2 and #4 then looked at one another. They nod in compliance as they turned back toward Chad. "Totally."

Chad Charming pointed directly at the darker boy now. "Chad #2, how are you gonna handle our meat tonight?"

#2 ignored the connotation of the question's wording. "We're gonna do the old fashion scare tactic, boss. Knight suit and all."

"Scare the piss out of them." Chad smirked then faced the cabin. "Dukey! I need a cold one."

The short scrawny black haired man climbed from the ship's cabin in nothing but a baby blue polo top and matching ridiculously short shorts. "Sir that will be your fourth one..."

'Um, I can count Dukey." Chad scoffed.

"But sir, it's only 1:00 in the afternoon." Dukey said concernedly.

"Dukey, you know there are sharks in this lake right?"

The servant's eyes widened. "But sir that's quite impossible."

"Well if I leave you out here in the middle of the lake then come back with some fresh water sharks from daddy's fish tank it won't be." Chad smiled awfully.

Duke's face dropped. "That was another cold beer, sir?"

"Now you're getting it Dukey." Chad winked at the abused butler as he went back down into the cabin.

"CHAD #4!" Charming howled. "How will you scare the piss out of those freshman bitch babies?"

Chad #4 was quiet. He hadn't actually given it much thought. Having only been a member of DIS since spring now, he wasn't sure how to conduct organizing harassment as opposed to be being victim to it.

"#4, do you not have a plan?" Chad raised his light brown brow.

#4 sat up so quickly his prescription sunglasses nearly flew off of his face "No, no! I have a plan." He assured the Mickey House president. "It's a surprise your Chadness."

Chad glared at the dopey brunet. "Ok." Dukey had now come back up with the beer. Chad snatched it, popped it opened it, took a sip, then handed it back to Dukey.

"Sir?" Dukey furrowed his brows.

"Why would you hand me another beer Dukey? YOU KNOW I HAVE A PROBLEM." Chad exclaimed.

"Sir, it was what you asked for..."

Chad sucked his lips inward. "You're an enabler Dukey." He said surely. "I'm a psychology major. I can tell you're taking advantage of my addiction." Charming said sternly.

"S-sir I-"

"Can you swim Dukey?"

The servant went pale. "Y-yes."

"Good." Chad said before snatching the beer away again and then shoving Dukey overboard and into the blue lake.

Chad chugged the beer before throwing the bottle into the water.

"Now back to you #4!" The president of Mickey House smirked deviously at his scrawny underling before climbing down into the cabin. Once Chad was out of sight, #4 let out a sigh of relief.

#2 took off his stylish sunglasses, "Doug, if you didn't come up with anything, you know you're gonna end up like Dukey." Chad #2 now watched Dukey struggle to stay afloat.

"Tyler you know I don't like hurting people." #4 frowned. "Hazing is always super cruel."

"Well you're going to have to-" #2 suddenly stopped speaking and put his glasses back on. Doug looked behind himself only to be whacked in the face with a brown leather tassel whip.

"WHY. ARE. YOU. SO. IN. COMPETANT?!" Chad yelled between flogs he delivered to the sinewy boy. Tyler watched in horror as Doug was beat down.

Chad finally stopped, Doug's hands and arms covered in red marks from protecting his head.

Chad puffed out his chest assuredly. "You're not gonna embarrass me tonight #4, you prissy little dweeb." He then knelled down toward Doug, who was balled up on the lounge chair. "You're lucky I let you into this fraternity. Don't take your position lightly because it is one many would kill to have!"

Doug croaked. "A-allegedly…"

"WHAT WAS THAT?" Chad raised the whip.

"Nothing your Chadness!"

"Good." Chad smiled again. "What you need to do is take notes from brother #2 over there. He knows how to make Mickey House look good." Chad nod his head at his own words. "Thank your brother for looking so good!" Chad yelled at Doug.

"…what?" Doug said turning toward Tyler. Chad raised the whip again. "THANK YOU SO MUCH CHAD #2!"

Chad's shoulders bounced as he began cackling. Raising his arms in upward motions, he gestured the other two to laugh with him. Tyler and Doug laughed weakly from their lounge chairs. Chad reached down to grab a life preserver then threw it off the deck at Dukey who was still splashing. "ANOTHER COLD ONE! AND MAKE IT SNAPPY!" Chad ordered his attendant.

In a small, royal-blue car with tacky yellow interior, a green eyed, sandy haired teen leaned on his arm as he watched the street signs pass him.

'Auradon University, 5 miles'.

"My little beast is all grown up. College!" Adam, Ben's father, said excitedly as he drove up the road toward the prestigious academy.

Ben lift himself off of his arm's weight. "I'm actually pretty nervous dad. I've never left home before."

"Yeah, maybe home schooling you your whole life wasn't the best decision, but it was what your mother wanted." Adam said diffidently. "And I bet she would think you've turned out to be a pretty strapping young man Benny."

Ben smiled, warmed by the words and thought the thought of his late mother. "I just hope I'm good enough for Mickey House. I'm actually really anxious about making a good impression."

"Well you should be Benny. I mean if you're gonna be a pledge of DIS and living in Mickey House like I did, It's gonna take a lot of diligence." Adam said proudly. "But you're my boy, Ben, and I believe in you." He put a hand on his son's shoulder.

"Thanks dad." Ben felt a warmth inside.

They eventually pulled up near Auradon University and began taking Ben's bags to his dorm room.

"Okay." Adam huffed putting down the last of his son's boxes. "This is it my little beast."

Ben's eyes began to tear up. "Okay. You know what we agreed on Dad."

"3 second hug, no eye contact, then I'm out of here. Zip. Boom. Out the door and out of your life college boy." Adam nod. Ben did the same.

The towering man approached his son then abruptly pulled him in for a tight hug. They agreed to the conditions, them both sobbing harshly. Adam pulled away from his son exactly 3 seconds later, then left the dorm in a rush. Ben looked out the window so that he wouldn't have to look at the door. Now alone he scrounged his luggage. He checked his school calendar.

"DIS meeting is at 7:00. I'm gonna make you proud dad." He inhaled before heading out his room.

Chad and his cohorts approached the football field where his girlfriend, Audrey, the head cheerleader, was not only teaching the other members the provocative cheer moves, but yelling their heads off when they messed up. The powerhouse was not only cheer captain though, she was president of the DIS's sorority and its appropriately named Minnie House as well.

"Come on you heifers!" The head cheerleader exclaimed. "It's shake-shake, kick, spin, shake-kick! Why is that so hard?"

A redheaded girl on the team rose her hand. "Is it shake-kick or shake then kick?"

Audrey shot daggers at the girl, trudging towards her.

"Are you an imbecile?" The cheer captain scrunched her face in annoyance. "Do you not want Auradon University to make it to cheer competitions this year?" Audrey asked seriously.

"I-I just," The redhead stammered.

"Get out of my sight." Audrey said darkly. The girl shivered, not arguing. She ran off the field, Audrey's expression remained cold as she watched the girl disappear. The other cheerleaders were silent.

Chad wolf whistled. "Feisty!" He clapped his hands. Audrey's face lit up when she saw him.

"Baby!" She ran into the Mickey House president's arms. They kissed.

"Givin' them hell I see. That's my girl." Chad then caressed her, squeezing her butt in the ridiculously tight blue skirt. The two kissed deeply now. Tongue and everything. Right there. In front of everyone. For a few minutes actually.

"Your Chadness." Chad #2 spoke up. Becoming sick.

"Oh!" Chad stepped back from his beautiful girlfriend. "You know how aggression turns me on." He said then growled in her ear, Doug and Tyler grimacing from behind him.

"What are your plans for the sorority tonight babe? It'd be economical to just initiate everyone in one building since, you know, both recruitment meetings are tonight."

Audrey pursed her lips. "Initialize your frat at Minnie house. Emasculate them." She smirked her pink glossy lips devilishly.

"Ooo, I like the sound of that." Chad sneered before leaning back into Audrey's face. She put her hand on his chest though.

"I have to wrap up practice." She looked over at the 'hopeless' cheer squad. "Someone has to whip these skanks into shape."

"All right babe. I'll see you tonight?"

The two only looked into each other's eyes longingly. Seeming like they were going to start sucking face again at any moment.

"Chad. You have calculus in 5 minutes." #4 said.

Chad turned toward him. "I know that you idiot!" He jeered. He turned back to his girlfriend. "Later babe."

Audrey only smiled flirtatiously, turning back toward her team. Chad did the same, turning toward #2 and #4.

"After taking my books to class, back to Mickey House you two." Chad told his subordinates. "We only have an hour to finish preparations." He said with maniacal giddiness.
