A/N: Yay! So I've finally updated! Whoops, I apologize, but this was sort of a difficult chapter to write, since they start school and all. I couldn't really find a way to make it interesting, and I was immensely stuck. Of course, an idea that comes to play decides to hit me out of nowhere while I'm eating of all things. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy! If you must know, I'm only including the movie as canon, not the books or cartoon.

Kingson24601: Thanks so much! Yes, Ben cares for them a lot. I feel like Doug and Lonnie cared too, but they were too afraid both of the villains and what their friends would think. Jane got all caught up in popularity and looks. As for Audrey, I agree how she is a particularly nasty character, but she hasn't been taught any different. I think she would have to learn and grow in order to become nice. I haven't really decided.

Random tidbit but did you know Chad secretly wants to be friends with the children from the Isle? I was at Barnes & Noble and came across this yearbook for Descendents.

Chapter 3

Mal slowly woke up to a burning sensation. She jolted upright, fearing that her mother was in her room to punish her for one thing or another. Blinking rapidly, she looked around the room to see she was no longer in her room, or rather, her room on the Isle. Oh right, I'm going to Auradon now with a bunch of prissy people. Great, Mal thought.

Groaning, she got up and trudged over to Evie's bed to gently shake the girl awake. Evie abruptly shot up with a shriek, wildly glancing at her surroundings until she realized she was at Auradon. She calmed down before panicking once more.

"Mal! We don't have anything to wear!" she shrieked as she began pacing around. Mal rolled her eyes.

"Of course we do. We have clothes, Evie," Mal said exasperatedly. Honestly, Mal honestly couldn't see how Evie could be so obsessed with her looks. But then again, she's always been told so.

"I never had anytime to prepare properly," Evie fretted before pulling out a dress with a pair of leggings. "These'll do for now I guess. I'll just have to make more when we get out of class."

"Suit yourself," Mal said, half listening as she went to the bathroom to get ready.

Ten minutes later, she strolled out of the bathroom, refreshed. She saw a blur of blue hair rushed past her in her haste to get to get ready. Chuckling, Mal sat down at the table and glanced at the clock. It read 6:30 AM. School didn't actually start until 8:30 AM. Mal wondered if they'll be served breakfast. She still wasn't completely sure how the whole school and food thing worked. Back on the Isle, they were at school by 9 AM, if they chose to go at all. There were only two classes, so school was out by 12 PM and they didn't get lunch.

Mal got up and walked to the side of the room and pulled at a specific part of the wall. It was a small, but hard to see latch to open the secret compartment she installed late last night. It took awhile, and she was tired, but it was the hardest magic she's done so far and was proud of it. The sandwiches they took from the cafeteria at night were a bit stale, but it was alright to them. She would try and learn the food preservation spell now.

Twenty minutes later, she managed to learn the spell. It would only last for two days, but that was fine for now. She would keep practicing to strengthen it for longer periods of time. There was a knock on the door, and Mal went to go open it.

Jay and Carlos strolled into the room, already prepared for the day. Mal held up the sandwiches, and they each took it, gobbling it down.

"Do you think they'll serve us breakfast?" Carlos wondered aloud.

"I hope so. Evie and I haven't eaten yet, and Ben did mention that we got three meals a day. It'll be alright though if we don't," Mal said.

Jay frowned, "Well why didn't you eat these sandwiches?"

"I was trying to work on a food preservation spell. It works by the way, but I have to practice to make it last longer. I just finished when you guys came in."

Just then, Evie came out of the bathroom, looking refreshed.

"What time is it?" Evie queried.

"6:55 AM," Carlos replied. "Oh, I have these too by the way. They're our schedules. Doug forgot to give it to you girls yesterday."

"Ooh, what classes do we have?" Evie said, clapping her hands ecstatically.

"Well, you guys are sophomores, and I'm only a freshman. Some of our classes are going to be different," Carlos stated sadly. "But we do have Remedial Goodness 101, History of Auradon, and PE together." The others peered over his shoulder.

"Ok, so that's period 1, 3 and 6 covered," Mal said. "Jay, Evie, and I have English for 2nd. Evie has chemistry for 4th while Jay and I have Physics. Hmm, weird. Why do we have different science subjects."

"Awesome!" Jay exclaimed, "We get to beat stuff up." Mal and Evie rolled her eyes.

"No we don't," Evie scoffed. "And about the different subjects, remember you and Jay took chemistry back on the Isle? I skipped the class because my mother didn't want me to learn from them. She wanted to teach me herself, but I guess that doesn't count."

"Oh yeah. Anyways, we have Algebra 2 for 5th with Evie. Lunch is after 3rd apparently. Carlos what classes do you have?" Mal questioned.

"I have Geometry, Biology, and English but for my grade," Carlos replied.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, which Evie went to open. There stood Ben and Doug.

"Morning guys," Ben called out cheerfully while Doug fidgeted a bit next to him. He must be still nervous around them, Mal thought, trying to refrain from rolling her eyes.

"Morning," the teens chorused back.

"I thought that I would stop by, since you guys don't really know how the times to go to the cafeteria yet," Ben explained.

"Great, let's go," Mal said swiftly, as she brushed past the prince.

The walk to the cafeteria was awkward to say the least. The villains' kids couldn't talk about plotting or anything until they were alone, and Ben and Doug didn't really know what to say to them. Ben desperately tried to think of something neutral to talk about. Maybe then they will become more friendly and open up. Doug, on the other hand, was nervously just trying to get by. He didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of Evie. Why this was the case, he didn't even know. She looked so beautiful, but then he remembered all the stories his father and uncles told him. He still can't believe that she was the daughter of the Evil Queen. But then again, they seem to act different compared to what their predecessors sounded like.

"So...how do you guys like Auradon Prep so far?" Ben asked after a beat of silence.

"It's...magical," Mal said, after a moment. Ben briefly wondered if she was being sarcastic or if there was any underlying meaning behind it, but he dismissed it.

"It's better than the school on the Isle that's for sure," Evie said ecstatically. Evie knew she shouldn't be so excited for classes, but she can't help it. She really wanted to learn.

"Yeah, there are a ton more wimps at this school for sure," Jay chuckled.

"You know, you shouldn't be so mean about the students," Ben chided gently, although he didn't really say anything else in case it disturbed the tentative peace between him, Doug, and the new arrivers.

"Yeah, well the Isle is a dog eat dog kind of world," Jay said offhandedly. "I don't know how you all were able to round up the villains and stick them on that blasted Isle."

"Well you can't judge a book by its cover," Doug added in, finally speaking. Ben suppressed a chuckle. He was crushing on Evie so bad; it was obvious.

"Well then, if you so called 'good' people teach that lesson, that should be applied everywhere, don't ya think," Mal said sarcastically.

"Yeah," Carlos chimed in, "don't think we've been blind. We know all the rumors that have been going around. Honestly, there's no one here that has convinced us that they are purely good, well, except the Fairy Godmother."

Before Ben and Doug could say anything to defend themselves and their peers, they reached the cafeteria. The villain's kids dispersed to go grab all the food they could fit on their trays. Ben noticed that while there weren't any angry stares directed towards them, people were curious and on edge, as if they would suddenly come out and curse them all.

He sighed. While he didn't want it to be true, he can see what Carlos means. While the heroes prided themselves in being good, many of them, retired generation and their children alike, were persistent for Ben to put a stop to his nonsense. Why would the children of evil be any different? They had argued.

They did have a point, Ben conceded. From his little interaction with the teens, they do have a sense of mischief about them. However, it didn't seem to be on the level that their parents were, ruling through fear and whatnot. But even then, they probably weren't taught any different. But if they had the choice, they could choose good, and that's all that matters. Shouldn't the so-called good at least give them the chance?

Meanwhile, the quartet settled themselves down at a table and started to ravish the food the got. While they did have a full meal last night, it had been months since a proper meal for the, and they were still starving. Evie finished first and began taking the extras they took and putting them all on one plate and covering it with a napkin. They'll drop this off at their room before class starts. Mal can work on her enchantment later.

Doug and Ben finally got their own food, and after a little urging from ben, the two of them sat down right next to the transfers.

Mal looked up in surprise and locked eyes with Ben. He gave her a half-smile in return.

"What you said before about no one here giving you the right impression, it could be true. Some of us might not be as good as we want to believe. Regardless, the two of us are going to be here to prove otherwise," Ben explained. Mal gave a short nod before returning to her pancakes.

"Why don't you try putting syrup on it," Doug said aloud, surprising himself and the others. He knew that he was quiet so far, and the new teens probably thought he was afraid, but truth be told, he kept getting distracted by Evie.

"What's syrup?" Mal finally asked, after swallowing another mouthful.

Ben looked at them in disbelief. "You don't know what syrup is?"

Jay shrugged, "Well food is hard enough to come by as it is on the Isle without the extra stuff that makes it so special."

Ben and Doug exchanged glances at that. The teens from the Isle keep insinuating all the hardships they had endured. While they haven't actually confirmed anything, Ben and Doug could take a guess on how their life on the Isle worked. Ben was determined to be able to get the full story from them soon enough.

Ignoring his budding questions for now, Ben cheerfully exclaimed, "Well why don't you try it now? Fair warning though, once you've tasted it, there's no going back."

With that, the four teens shrugged and poured some syrup onto their pancakes. Their reactions and groans of satisfaction and amazement was all the answer Ben and Doug needed. They shared a smile. This was going to be a great year.

A/N: Well, that's the chapter! Sorry if it is a little boring, more of a filler chapter really. Also, it seems a little awkward to me, but that might be because of how long it took for me to figure it out. What do you guys think?

I'll be updating in about 2 weeks. I would do it sooner, but finals are coming for me at school. The next chapter will be about their lessons and another flashback. This time for Evie. Until next time, darlings!
