Chapter 4
Mal's POV
As soon as class ended I started to make my way to Ben's locker to meet him for our lunch date. I start to think about Uma and the fact that she could be out there right now planning something sinister. I can't help feeling guilty about Ben being captured by Uma and her pirate crew. If I would've just stayed in Auradon and worked things out with Ben, he wouldn't have come to the Isle looking for me. If I just would've told him "I love you" then he wouldn't have wandered off and gotten himself captured. I may have failed him back on the Isle, but I won't fail him again. Ben is my true love, my soulmate. Anyone who gets in the way of that again is going to lose.
I finally got to Ben's locker but he was nowhere in sight. I sent him a text to let him know I was at his locker waiting for him.
I look up from my phone to see Evie walking up to me.
"Hey Mal, waiting for Ben?" Evie asked teasingly.
"Yes, we have a lunch date planned. He says he has an idea to run by me" I confirm.
"Is that the only reason?" Evie asked teasingly.
"That and he wants me all to himself" I admit while blushing.
"Maybe you and Ben can double date with me and Doug sometime" Evie suggests.
"Yeah that'd be great, I'll talk to Ben about it" I promised.
"Great" Evie replied cheerfully.
Just as me and Evie had finished our conversation I felt a pair of hands pick me up off the ground and spin me around.
"Aah!" I shrieked.
Soon as I'm put back down I look up to see Ben smiling down at me.
"Hello beautiful, I missed you" Ben replied softly.
"It's only been an hour" I say laughing.
"Tell me about it" Ben replies softly before tightening his grip around my waist and crushing his lips against mine as I wrap my arms around his neck kissing him back. Just as the kiss began to deepen we hear a coughing noise. Me and Ben look up to see not only Evie, but Carlos and Jay standing there as well.
"How long have you two been standing there" Mal asked.
"Long enough" Evie says smiling.
"Get a room you two" Carlos says groaning.
"Yeah, I'm glad you guys are back together and all but we don't need to witness you two playing kissy face" Jay says pulling a disgusted face.
"You wouldn't feel that way if it were you and Lonnie" I replied teasingly.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Lonnie and I are just friends" Jay replies while stammering and stuttering.
"Um Jay, turn around" Ben replies nervously.
Jay turns around to see Lonnie standing there with a hurt expression on her face.
"Lonnie I-'' Jay started.
"Don't Jay!" Lonnie cried angrily.
"Lonnie!" Jay repeats as he takes a step towards her.
"Just don't!" Lonnie snapped while the rest of us watch as she turns around and walks away with Jay following behind Lonnie and pleading with her to listen to him and hear him out.
"Boy does he have bad timing. I wouldn't want to be in Jay's shoes right now" Carlos replied.
We all glare at Carlos.
"Oh relax you guys, we all know that Jay and Lonnie have feelings for each other. I'm sure they'll work things out" Carlos said confidently.
"Let's hope so" I prayed.
"Ready to go Mal? Ben asked me.
"Let's go" I said
After saying goodbye to Evie and Carlos, Ben takes me by the hand and leads me over to his moped. Ben hops on his moped while I climb on behind him. He hands me my helmet then puts his helmet on as well. I wrap my arms around Ben's waist holding on to him. Soon as Ben starts the engine we drive off in the direction of the Enchanted Lake.
