Leila sat in her dorm room crying and packing. She was going home in the morning. She hated this school!
It was her brother's wish to even come to Auradon Prep in the first place! She was perfectly fine with her tutors handpicked by her mother and father. But no, they thought she should attend this stupid school and make more friends.
All of her "friends" were her brother's friends or just pretending to be her friend or pretending to like her just so they have a chance to have closer relations to Agrabah.
But the few people that were genuinely her friends for her were Ben… King of the fucking Country… but Ben was a sweetheart and he could befriend anyone.
and the VKs…
Mal, the green eyed fairy who had the most beautiful pair of green eyes Leila had ever seen. Her magic was good, but Leila grew up with The Genie as her uncle so not much really surprised her with magic anymore. Mal was a little rude and mysterious, but Leila LIVED for a little mystery. Plus, Audrey hated her. And Leila likes anybody Audrey doesn't like.
Evie, the obvious second fairest in the land behind her step sister Snow White. She had gorgeous blue hair and Leila subconsciously ran a hand through her own dark locks. She wondered what she'd look like with colored hair even if hers and Mal's were natural. And her outfits were gorgeous. Leila didn't have that many leather outfits, but she would love some. And she showed Chad up. That was good. She never liked the curly haired bastard anyway. Especially not after he pulled her skirt up in front of half the tourney team. Thank Allah, that Aziz was not there that time.
Carlos, the small adorable cinnamon roll that was actually her age. She had needed his tutoring on more than one occasion. Even going as far as to pay him in machinery parts to keep him helping her. He had tried to refuse at first. His student account made way for him to buy the parts, but Leila was the daughter of Jasmine. No one was going to refuse her. So made him take the parts as gifts instead of repayment. She had found his fear of dogs both saddening and adorable. But she loved the way he treated Dude and can see he clearly loved the dog. But the dog wasn't the only someone he loved… no, from the second she met them… she could tell he was in love with the last of the VKs.
Jay. Son of Jafar.
The worst thing about Jay isn't how he harmlessly flirts with anything with legs. It;s not how his long dark brown locks swayed in the wind. The little half smile he gives or the way he fiercely protects his friends. It's not how on more than one occasion she stormed down to their room to get all of her stolen goods back. Or the way he leaned in the doorway without a shirt on smirking at her. It wasn't that she could get loss staring in his eyes. Or that he was the son of her family's enemy.
No, the worst thing about Jay was how deeply in love with him and how she knew she could never have him because from the second she met them, she could tell he was in love with Carlos.
And Leila would never break up a happy ending even at the cost of her own.
So she sucked it up and she's manage for the past nine months, but she can't take it anymore. She was tired of crying herself to sleep at night wishing for Jay's arms around her when she knew that they were more than likely around Carlos.
After hours of conversing with her mother, she went to Fairy Godmother's office and resigned from the school. All of her scores and classes were going to be sent back home and she was going to forget Jay and move on. She was going sit back and watch him be happy with Carlos.
She wasn't being a coward! She was doing a good thing. She just preferred to do it back home in her room curled up with her pet monkey, Nura and maybe even under Rajah.
Leila always knew she'd never get a happy ending. After all Chad always said that a street rat's daughter was worth just as much…
Not like his mother wasn't a maid.
She absently wiped the tears from her eyes. Maybe this was really why she didn't want to come to Auradon Prep. It was filled with princes and princesses that all were born through a happily ever after and were making their way towards their own.
