Chapter 6
*Ben's POV*
The next morning me and Mal informed the rest of our friends of the four new VK's that would be joining us in Auradon. Given what happened on the Isle Carlos, Jay, Lonnie, Jane, and Doug were a little adamant that this was a bad idea. However, just like Mal and Evie they promised that they would have my back if anything went wrong.
As Mal and I stood in front of Auradon Prep awaiting the arrival of the four new VK's I take her hand and lace my fingers through hers, giving her hand a reassuring squeeze.
"Nervous?" I asked.
"More like anxious" Mal admitted.
"Don't worry, it'll be okay" I said leaning in and pressing a kiss to her cheek.
We hear voices behind us so Mal and I turned around to see Evie, Jay, and Carlos walking towards us.
"Are they here yet?" Jay asked.
"Not yet" I replied.
"So Jay, you work things out with Lonnie yet?" Mal asked.
"I've tried, but she's been avoiding me all morning" Jay replied sadly.
"Why did you deny having feelings for her exactly?" I asked curiously.
"I wasn't sure if Lonnie felt the same way I did about her and I didn't want to ruin our friendship" Jay confessed.
"Just tell her how you feel, listen to your heart" Ben advised.
"Talking about my feelings isn't something I'm good at, but Lonnie's worth it" Jay said sincerely.
"That's the spirit" I replied patting Jay on the shoulder.
"Hey guys, they're here" Mal replied.
We all turn around to see the limousine pull up just as Fairy Godmother walks over to greet the new VK's. The limo driver opens the door and out steps the Tremaine cousins, Harry, and Gil.
"Evie!" Dizzy screams excitedly while running into Evie's awaiting arms.
Anthony stands there looking like he'd rather be anywhere else but here, Gil looks amazed to finally be here, and Harry stands there staring at Mal.
"Welcome to Auradon Prep, I'm Fairy Godmother, the headmistress!" Fairy Godmother exclaimed excitedly.
"I hope you enjoy living here in Auradon, these five will give you a tour and then show you to your dorms" Fairy Godmother smiled. "I'll see you all tomorrow in Goodness 101, goodbye everyone" Fairy Godmother waves as she walks away.
"It's nice to meet you two, I'm King Ben" I replied as I step forward to shake hands with Dizzy and Anthony.
Dizzy shakes my hand excitedly while Anthony seems to be having a silent debate with himself on whether or not he should shake my hand. Finally, he extends his arm forward he shakes my hand.
I then turn to Gil and Harry to shake their hands.
"How about it? Let's let bygones be bygones" I said respectfully.
Gil shakes my hand but Harry squeezes my hand tight as if trying to break it, giving me a menacing look.
As soon as Harry let's go of my hand I regain my composure, hiding the fact that my hand was throbbing.
"I believe you all know Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay" I said warmly.
Evie, Carlos, and Jay all glared at Harry and Gil but Mal steps forward to shake their hands.
"Welcome" Mal says trying her best to be sincere.
Mal shakes Gil's hand but when she gets to Harry he grabs her hand and kisses it.
"Mal, it is so good to see you again" Harry replied flirting.
Soon as Harry let's go of Mal's hand he winks at her. I pull Mal close to my side while narrowing my eyes at Harry.
"Let's just begin our tour, shall we?" I said.
I then launch into my introduction of Auradon Prep and how it was converted into a high school by my father. Throughout the entire tour Harry kept staring at Mal with a lustful look in his eyes. I kept my arm tightly around Mal's waist the entire time while keeping a close watch on Harry.
Soon as the tour finished I turned around to the rest of the group.
"So here are the dorms. Mal, Evie, Jay, and Carlos will show you to your rooms" I replied.
"You guys go ahead and I'll catch up with you in a few, I'd like to speak to Harry alone for a minute" I replied.
"You sure?" Mal asked nervously.
"I'll be fine" I reassured her.
Soon as everyone was out of earshot I turn to Harry.
"Look, I know that being in a new place can be overwhelming and that you're trying to fit in, but I just wanted to let you know that I saw the way you were looking at Mal" I said.
"So?" Harry answered.
"So I want it stopped, okay?" I said in a deadly calm voice.
"Sorry your Majesty" Harry answered sarcastically.
"Yeah you don't seem really sorry" I pointed out.
"Well there's something you should know about me" Harry said with his Scottish accent.
"And what's that?" I asked while trying to keep my composure.
"I always get what I want mate, and I want Mal" Harry replied sneering.
"Let me make one thing quite clear to you, Mal is my girlfriend. Stay away from her" I warned.
I walked away from Harry without giving him a second glance.
