"Favorite color."
"Probably dark blue or moss green. Favorite activity."
"Playing guitar. Funniest memory."
"When my older sister started going through puberty and my dad didn't know what to do. Favorite class."
"That's easy, music. Pet peeve?"
"People assuming my dad is a bad person. Best day of your life."
"When I won the talent show in 8th grade. First crush."
"Victoria Hearts. How about yours?"
"Athena Triton. Biggest fear."
"Losing my family. Least favorite person."
"Huh, I don't think I have one."
Hunter rolled his eyes at that. "Really? Are you guys really so nice here that you don't even have a least favorite person?" He asked in disbelief.
"I wouldn't say that, but all of the people here are so goody-goody that they've never really done anything wrong. Excite for Audrey and Chad, but they've made up for it." Midas replied.
Hunter made a silent 'Oh' with his mouth. He then realized that they had arrived at the courtyard.
"So what should we do?" He asked. The blonde shrugged. "I don't know. Kinda thought there would be some people here or something."
"Well, maybe we can just look around campus or something. I haven't seen much of it yet." Hunter suggested. "Sure. Let's head to the field." Midas began leading Hunter towards the Tourney field and saw the team doing some drills for the game next week.
"What are they doing?" Hunter asked in confusion.
"Practicing. They have a Tourney game next Wednesday." Midas answered.
"Hey, is that... Jay?" Hunter was staring in confusion at the long haired brunette on the field. "And Carlos?!"
Midas laughed at his reaction. "Yeah. They're actually really good, Carlos may not be the best but with Jay, they're pretty much unstoppable."
Hunter nodded at this but still had a shocked look on his face. "Do you guys have any other sports?"
"Yeah, but they're not very popular. We have cheer, track, cross country, volleyball, soccer, and croquet." Midas counted off his fingers as he listed each activity. "But we also have a lot of academic activities for students."
"Cool. Maybe I should try out for a sport. It would be fun. But it would kind of be cheating I guess." Hunter said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Why would it be cheating?" Midas asked confused, they were now walking around the track surrounding the field.
"Well, I'm part wolf. Kind of gives me an advantage with stuff like that." Hunter said as Midas donned a look of realization.
"Maybe if you learn to control your powers, it might be allowed." Midas offered. It didn't seem fair that he couldn't play just because of his DNA.
"Do you really think I can convince people I won't cheat. Not trying to judge anyone, but I'm pretty sure most won't believe that I'll maintain my powers to play fair." The brunette rolled his eyes as he said this, a look of frustration spreading across his face.
"That's true. But who cares? People are always going to say stuff about you no matter what. Might as well do it anyways. Even if you don't use your abilities, they'll assume you did." Midas said.
"I guess you're right. But that's if I even decide to do a sport. I might not." He shrugged.
The two kept walking, talking about the most random things for the rest of the day.

"Bye, Fairy Godmother. Thanks again." Luna called as the kind woman left the room. The Big Bad Wolf's daughter turned towards her new room as she closed the door.
She smiled as she took it all in, the design no longer made her want to vomit. She had changed the walls so they were cadet blue with light gray borders. Her bed was made of ebony wood and covered by a large gray blanket and white pillows.
"Hmm, it looks great. And the walls match your eyes." Bella commented, as she gestured to the walls and Luna's eyes.
"Yeah, they do. So what should we do now?" Luna turned to the pale girl. "I don't know. Perhaps you'd like to go get coffee? There's a coffee place here on campus." The princess offered.
"Okay, let's go then." Luna began walking out of the door with Bella, the latter leading the way.
It was a short walk, only being about three minutes or so and Luna and Bella passed the time by chatting about their selves to get to know each other better.
The scent of hazelnut and vanilla reached Luna's nose as soon as they walked through the door. She inhaled deeply, never having encountered such a sweet aroma.
"What would you like?" Bella asked, smiling at her.
"Umm, I don't know. I've never really had coffee before." Luna confessed. "Well, there are lots of things. Like frappechinos or ice tea. There's even hot chocolate." Bella offered.
"Sure, I'll get one of those." Luna said as they walked in. There was only one person in front of them so they didn't have to wait very long to order.
"Hey, Bella." The guy at the register greeted, smiling at her. He had fair skin, blonde hair, and large blue eyes. His eyes then shifted to Luna. He stared at her silently for a few moments before his cheeks became red and he gave her a big goofy smile.
"H-hi, I'm Alistair." He greeted.
Luna smiled back, "Hey, my name is Luna." She said.
He kept staring at her much to the brunette's confusion. Why was he looking at her like that?
After a few moments, he snapped out of it and began blushing madly. "What would you guys like?" He asked, his voice going up nearly an entire octave.
Bella laughed at this, "I'll take the usual. Luna will have a hot chocolate with whip cream, chocolate syrup, and marshmallows." She said as she handed him some money for her drink.
"Okay then." Alistair said as he took the money and placed it in the register.
"Oh, I don't have any money." Luna said, blushing.
"It's okay. New student special." Alistair said, giving her a reassuring nod.
"Thanks." She said, smiling at him. Alistair didn't reply, simply blushing slightly.
The brunette then walked away to find a table for them to sit.
Alistair sighed wistfully as he watched her go, leaning on his arm against the register.
"You like her, don't you?"
The blonde nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Bella's voice.
"W-what? No I don't. You're crazy. I-I just met her." He said, his voice getting higher and higher as the words tumbled past his lips.
Bella raised a playful eyebrow at him, "It's okay. I'll put in a good word for you." She winked as she walked off to join Luna.
She sat down across from her as Luna looked up at her. "Hey, the drinks will be done in a second. We just have to wait a bit." She said. "That's cool." Luna replied.
"So, what do you wanna do after this?" Bella asked, Luna shrugging. "We could hang out with Alistair. He's a good friend of mine and he'll be off work in about ten minutes."
"Okay, sure. It'd do me good to know more than one person here anyways." She chuckled.
They fell into a slight silence after that before Bella spoke up. "Um, I was wondering something." She said quietly, biting her bottom lip as she looked down shyly.
Luna took the pale girls hands in her own and gave her an encouraging smile. "Go ahead."
"Well, I just wanted to ask if I... If I could um... borrowsomeofyourclothesmoreoften." She rushed out in one breath.
"What?" Luna asked.
Bella breathed out slowly, trying to calm herself. "If I could borrow some of your clothes more often." She repeated.
Luna was shocked, she hadn't been expecting that. Bella wanted to wear her clothes? The ones that showed quite a bit of skin and had rips and tears in them and a lot of leather?
"You want to use my clothes?" She asked, a confused look on her face.
Bella nodded, her cheeks growing warm. "Yeah, I kinda liked them. All my life, people have always told me what to wear. When I tried on your clothes, I felt... I don't even know. I just liked it. But I could never get away with buying clothes like that for myself. My mom would find out and throw a fit." Bella said.
"Oh. Well, okay. I don't mind. I just can't imagine why you would prefer my crappy clothes to your designer ones." Luna said, gesturing to the nice outfit Bella wore.
"But everyone has clothes like mine. Literally every girl in the school dresses exactly the same. I don't know anybody who dresses like you and it makes me feel like, like I'm not just another princess. Like I'm original. Even if I'm really not." Bella confessed. She removed her hands from Luna's and placed them in her lap, frowning down at them sadly.
Luna noticed this, but didn't comment. "Hey, you are original. No two people in the world are exactly the same. Who else would be so nice to me on my first day? And besides, your clothes don't determine who you are. You do." Luna said, smiling at her.
Bella looked up, the frown melting away. She weakly smiled back at the brunette.
"Bella and Luna?" A voice called.
Both girls looked up, they had forgotten that they were here. "I'll get them." Bella said as she stood and walked to the counter. She came back and placed Luna's drink in front of her.
Luna brought the cup to her lips, sipping it. "Mmm. This is really, really good." The chocolate was sweeter than anything she'd ever even dreamed of tasting and all of the toppings just added even more flavor.
Bella giggled a bit as Luna eagerly drank more and more. "I take it you like it then?" Luna blushed and set the cup down.
"By the way, I'm sorry I dumped all of that stuff on you. We barely met and I'm already rambling about all of my problems." She apologized. "Besides, a princess shouldn't complain. I have a great life and I should be grateful." Her lips stretched into a straight line, devoid of any cheer she had not even a full minute ago.
"Hey, never feel bad about that. You need to get stuff off your chest sometimes. And besides, friends listen to each other when they need it. If you ever want to talk, you can always go to me." Luna said, giving her a small smile. Bella returned it and began sipping her own drink.
"Thanks." She said.
"No problem." Luna told her, going back to her hot chocolate.

(Time skip to next morning)
Amira sat up in bed as she rubbed her eyes groggily. She reached over and turned off her alarm before removing her blanket and getting out of bed.
She saw Dawn already up and just sitting criss-cross on her bed silently.
"Hey." Amira yawned, stretching out my arms. Dawn's only response was a small wave in her direction before they were placed back in her lap.
"Have you been up this whole time?" A nod.
"Well, we have to get ready for class anyways." Amira said as she grabbed some clothes out of her drawer and set up the divider in the middle of the room.
She changed out of her pajamas and into her purple and blue dress with white flats. Amira began twisting her hair into a side braid as she began to take down the divider and put it away.
Now that it was removed, she could see that Dawn now wore a sleeveless light gray top over a white long sleeve, a black denim skirt, and light gray boots. She was placing a black hairband in her brown locks when she looked over at Amira.
"You almost ready to head to the bathroom? We can brush our teeth and wash our faces there." Amira asked, tossing her now finished braid over her shoulder as she stood by the door waiting.
Dawn nodded and walked over to her as they left the room together. Amira smiled and greeted a few other girls in the bathroom as Dawn gave slight nods, but mostly kept her head down.
After a bit of waiting, two spots were now empty for the pair as they finished getting ready for the day.
They had been walking back to the room to get their backpacks and other things when a group of girls passed by them, pointing at Dawn and whispering as they walked by. The girl ducked her head down even further (if that was even possible) and let her hair curtain around her face.
Amira pat her back in a comforting manner, Dawn not responding to the action.
It was when they got to the room that the daughter of Aladdin and Jasmine decided to speak up.
"You know, you shouldn't take that from anyone. Never let anyone talk about you like that. Those girls were clearly being rude."
Dawn looked up at her and frowned slightly, "I can't do that. Then I'll just be as bad as they say." She sighed. "And besides what can I say? They have their opinions of me and I can't change them."
Amira felt her lips turn down at that. She was really just going to do nothing? "But you can't just let them do that to you!" She cried.
"Why not? It's not like they'll stop because I ask them to." The brunette responded, shrugging her shoulders as she grabbed a light gray backpack up from the side of her bed.
Amira sighed. How was she going to get this girl to be more confident in herself?
Clearly, this would be a challenge. Thankfully, the princess enjoyed a good challenge.

Hunter and Midas were walking down the hallways of the school to the cafeteria for breakfast.
They had both woken up (after fifteen minutes of hitting the snooze button) and gotten ready. Midas now wore a blue polo with white stripes and brown cargo shorts paired with some black boots. Hunter had changed into a dark blue V-neck with a black leather jacket, dark denim jeans, and dark gray sneakers with dark blue laces.
After they grabbed some breakfast, a group of a few other teens their age already sitting at a table waved Midas over.
"Hey, guys." He greeted as he sat down with Hunter.
"Hey, Midas. Who's the new guy?" One asked.
"I'm Hunter. Just moved here." They already knew he was from the Isle, no point of saying it.
"Hey, I'm Theo. This is Athena, but we just call her AJ and that one is Hayden." One said in a Scottish accent, he had red curls and blue eyes. Athena was also a blue-eyed redhead and Hayden was blonde with blue eyes.
"Nice to meet you." Hunter said, smiling at them.
"Where's Amelia?" Midas asked. The others looked around the cafeteria, searching for the brunette girl.
"There she is." Athena said as Amelia walked in, spotted the group, and made her way over to them.
"Hey, people." She greeted as everyone waved back.
"Amelia have you met Hunter?" The second she heard his name, her head snapped up and whipped to the side to see the half-wolf teen. He waved slightly at her and smiled, causing her to blush.
"Yeah, we met yesterday. Not that I expect you to remember, I mean I'm just a random girl who happened to be there when you showed up. Not that big of a deal, I mean there were other people there too and oh, gosh. I'm rambling now, aren't I? I do that sometimes. It's kind of weird, but it happens. Can't really control it and oh my god. I'm gonna shut up now." Amelia's face was completely red now and she looked down and allowed her hair to cover her face.
Everyone else was trying to muffle their snickers at this except Hunter, who looked around with a raised eyebrow.
What was going on?
"Well, yeah. She was there yesterday when I first came." He said once everyone had calmed down a bit.
"So you're one of the new kids from the Isle?" Hayden asked. Hunter turned to him and nervously twiddled his thumbs, "Yeah, son of the Big Bad Wolf." He answered.
"Whoa! Are you like part wolf or something?" Theo asked, his eyes widened in excitement. Hunter's scooted back in his seat a little due to everyone leaning forward waiting for his answer.
"Yeah. I'm half-wolf." He said as they all broke out in grins. "That's awesome! I wish I was part wolf." Hayden exclaimed.
"Really? You guys don't care that I'm from the Isle?" He asked. They all shook their heads no and continued to ask questions about him having wolf DNA.
"Will silver really kill you?"
"No, I'm just allergic to it."
"Do you transform on a full moon?"
"Not exactly. My powers just get stronger and it's harder to control them."
"Do you have wolf instincts?"
"Sort of."
"Do you know how to control all of your powers?"
"Most of them. I only had a few more things to learn from my dad."
"Cool, what were they?" AJ asked. Hunters entire face turned red, even more than Amelia's face was earlier.
"Nothing important." He mumbled.
"C'mon, just tell us. It can't be that bad."
Hunter didn't say a word, and everyone else looked at each other and nodded silently.
"TELL US! TELL US! TELL US! TELL US!" They all chanted. Hunter had to cover his ears due to his sensitive hearing.
"Okay, okay. Fine, I'll tell you. But you have to promise you won't laugh." He gave them all a dead serious look and they quieted down, staring at him curiously.
He let out a loud sigh and looked down, the flush returning to his face. "How to control my mating urges." He rushed out.
They all got a shocked look on their faces and looked at each other before they bursted into loud laughter.
"Hey! You said you wouldn't laugh!" Hunter was blushing furiously, both in anger and embarrassment as he slammed his hands on the table.
"We never promised anything. You just took our silence as a yes." Theo said between laughs. "Oh my god, I'm gonna pee."
Hunter rolled his eyes and leaned back into his seat, crossing him arms over his chest as he glared at his new friends.
"You can't tell us something like that and expect us not to laugh." Hayden was clutching his stomach as tears of laughter spilled from his eyes.
"You guys are the worst." He said, shaking his head as he cracked a small smile.
"Oh, come on. If our roles were switched, you'd be laughing too." AJ giggled.
He couldn't lie, he would definitely be laughing if one of his friends told him that he was going to have a way harder time going through puberty. Hunter joined in on the laughter before they eventually calmed down just as the bell rung.
"Aw, man. Gotta get to class. Come on Hunter, I'll show you the way to English." Midas said as he walked off with him, followed by AJ as Hayden, Theo, and Amelia walked off in a different direction.
•~•
Dawn and Amira sat in their classroom, waiting for the teacher to show up.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Wonderland is a great teacher. And she's fun too." Amira assured her friend.
"Okay, that's nice I guess." Dawn shrugged just as a blonde woman walked in. All of the other students who had been talking and standing up rushed to their seats and hurriedly whispered the last parts of what their conversation.
"Good morning, students." She addressed them.
"Morning, Mrs. Wonderland." They chorused back.
"Okay, today we will go over the first ten years of Auradon becoming a kingdom. But first, we have a new student." The blonde looked at Dawn and smiled. "Would you like to come up and introduce yourself to the class?" She asked.
Dawn knew she wouldn't accept no for an answer and reluctantly got up from her seat to walk to the front of the classroom. She could feel everyone's eyes on her and heard a few whispers.
Her heart was beating rapidly in her chest, as if it were trying to force its way out of her body.
"H-hi. M-my name is Dawn Wolf, and my dad is the Big Bad Wolf. I just moved here from the Isle yesterday." She spoke quietly, keeping her head down. Mrs. Wonderland gestured with her hand for Dawn to keep going.
"Um, I like reading and music a lot." She stammered, her breath quickening.
The same girls from the hallway sat in the back corner, whispering to each other as they stared at Dawn with judging eyes.
The room was spinning and Dawn's vision began to blur. She felt lightheaded and tried to steady herself only to stumble forward. Dawn held her hand up to her head as a pounding ache started up.
She could hear people saying things, whispering about her but she couldn't focus her hearing to understand what was being said. Dawn looked around the room and saw everyone staring right back at her. They were all giving her this evil smirk, like they loved watching her suffer like this.
Dawn was having trouble breathing, her breaths coming out in short pants and she felt tears begin to spill from her eyes. Her stomach was twisting painfully and she felt like any second now she would blow chunks all over.
Mrs. Wonderland was saying something to her, shouting but the words weren't getting through to Dawn as she keeled over, clutching her stomach.
"Oh my god! Someone call the nurse!" Was the one thing she heard before her entire vision went black.

I know, I know. I'm evil. And I'm aware that this chapter is shorter than others but I wasn't sure how to continue this from here. Don't judge. Next chapter should be soon.
