Chapter 8: Homework and Dreams
Evie POV:
I rushed back to my dorm only having 2 hours to shower and get ready. It was just not enough time. I bristled through the room looking for my favourite top and my blue skirt. I took robe and towel and went to shower. After thirty minutes of showering, I went on doing my make-up, putting on some foundation, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow and to top it off a feisty bright red lipstick. I took my bag and filled it with my basic items like magic mirror and tissues. I walked to the bleachers and saw Adrian standing there wearing his school jacket with his usual clothing. "Hey, Adrian," I said shocking him. He looks up and down totally checking me out.
"Hey Evie, you are pretty smart aren't you?" he asked, I quickly shake my head and tells him about my magic mirror. He takes it and asked where his phone is, I look at him weirdly.
"How many rooms are there in your castle?" I asked curiously wondering how big his castle is.
"Oh too many to count." He says. Suddenly the atmosphere tensed slightly, it became hotter too. He leans in I thought he would kiss me but no he leans back.
"I'm sorry but I am just swamped with homework and classes, but maybe if you add my homework to yours, we could go on a date sometime. Maybe sit at the coronation together." He says. I nod my head and took his bag from him. He then walks away suddenly Doug appeared.
"You know the wand will be out during the coronation? Maybe we could sit together and discuss its attributes?" he asked. I looked at him walked away hearing him sigh. I walked back to my dorm and took out all my homework and was shocked at the amount.
"Oh god, I have to do Adrian ones as well." I took out his and it was almost double of mine. I sighed and started on the homework. After 5 hours, I finally finished his but sadly I still had mine to complete. I was finally done with all the homework but it was already 9 o clock, I missed dinner and it is almost curfew time. I quickly showered and changed into pyjamas and went to bed regretting helping Adrian.
Ben POV:
I am at the Enchanted Lake, I hear a sweet giggle emitting from a girl. I lifted my head above the lake and see Mal standing there eating strawberries, the juice coating her lips. "What are you giggling about?" I asked suddenly shocking her.
I saw her jump slightly with a soft gasp then says, "Your duckies' swimming trunks." I laugh knowing that, that was the only swimming trunks I have.
"That's the only one I have," I say smirking; I can't believe that I wore that in front of her. I get out of the lake and sit beside her; she wraps a towel around me.
"Thank you," I whisper. I dry my hair and shake it in her face making her giggle cutely. I chuckle softly and take a sandwich to eat.
"Mal? Thank you for giving me a chance to leave the isle of the lost." I say sweetly, thank you for agreeing to this date I say in my head knowing that most people did not even want to interact with us, much less go on a date. She is probably one of the least judgemental towards us villain kids. I lean in slowly looking at her with love and passion shining in my eyes. Just about one inch away…
"Ringggggg." I hear my alarm clock ring. Ughhh it was just a dream? I said in my head sighing in disappointment. No, I can't like her; she is going to be the future queen and the queen of the villains' child. But what if I'm close to her I may be able to get the wand making my mother proud. I walked over and grab my towel heading for a shower. I let the hot water cascade down my body as I think about her beautiful emerald green eyes; maybe just maybe she had feeling for me. I quickly washed my hair and body that's when I heard loud knocks on the door
"Yo Ben get out of the shower, I need to shower too." I hear Jay yelled, I sighed in annoyance wanting to be alone.
"Give me a minute" I yelled and dried myself wrapping the towel low on my hips. I walked out glaring at Jay. I went on to dress wearing a purple hoodie and ripped jeans, I sit on the bed trying to tame my hair. I see Carlos still sleeping and thought of playing a prank on him. I used a spell to get a bucket of ice cold water and pour it on him. I smirk and see him scream like a girl.
"You have thirty minutes till breakfast time Carlos," I said looking innocent. I knew this was bad but I was Rotten to the Core. I start to wonder how to make Mal fall for me, I would do a love potion but if we go to the enchanted lake it would wear off. I could court her like a normal person but what if she rejects my advances. I heard another knock on the door and open it only to see the daughter of Mulan.
"Yes, what do you want?" I said in annoyance not wanting to be interrupted.
"Could you do my hair like Jane's? I want it cool. I'll even pay you." she asked. I sighed loudly and take the bag of gold.
"Beware forswear replace the old hair with cool hair," I said moving my fingers left right down up. She looks into the mirror and rips her skirt slightly.
"Now I'm cool." she says, "like ice," I said smirking at her. She leaves and jay finally leaves the bathroom letting Carlos use it. I quickly packed my bag making sure to bring my spell book.
-After 30 minutes-
Carlos was done showering and styling his hair we went to grab breakfast. I took a French bread thing what was buttery and amazing and grabs a hot chocolate. Evie walks over sitting down sighing, "I can't believe I helped Adrian do his homework!" Who the hell was Adrian?! I looked at her weirdly.
"Who is Adrian?" Carlos asked curiously.
"Audrey's twin brother, he is in my chemistry class. He met up with me under the bleachers I thought he was interested in me but he leaned in and asked if I would help do his homework because he was swamped. I stupidly said yes and spent last night doing his homework on top on mine." She ranted. Well, and they say villain children are bad. I continued eating the bread mentally chuckling that Evie was so naive.
I stood up suddenly and walked to my locker, remembering the bell will ring anytime soon. Oh yeah, today did not have any lessons as there is a huge tourney match. "Ben." I hear Evie yelled at me. I rubbed my hairs glaring at her.
"What?" I said. Jay, Carlos and I were playing today even though we only had a few training sessions. I took my jersey out while waiting for Evie to say something.
"Are you playing today?" she wonders. I rolled my eyes and throw my jersey onto her head.
"What do you think? No, I'm not playing." I said sarcastically. I took my jersey from her head and went to change with Jay and Carlos. I walked out of the changing room only to see Mal waiting.
"Ben, please be careful and good luck." She says reaching out to kiss my cheek. We both blushed smiling shyly at each other. I touched my cheek shocked that she kissed me well my cheek but still. I turn around only to see Jay and Carlos looking at me with their jaw opened wide. I chuckled and went to the field. I see Mal wearing her cheerleader costume with her purple hair tied up in a ponytail. Once the game started I blocked all thoughts from my head and concentrated on the game hoping to win. Luckily we beat the other school by 20 points. The student body carried Jay and I passing us around than I knew what to do it is embarrassing but I hope it works.
"Hey give me a beat. This song is for you Mal." I pointed at the marching band. I started to sing Crush (by David…)
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush
'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way you do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ay
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more, is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last forever, forever
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ay
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way you do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ay
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ay
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ay
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ay
I wrote when I was younger thinking about a purple haired girl. (Remember the dreams in the book smirk) I did a silly dance after that the student body passed me all the way in front of Mal. I look deep into her eyes leans to her ear, "Princess, will do me the honour of going on a date with me." she looked shocked at first. I knew she was going to reject me I mean she had Chad Charming probably the most annoying lad in the country.
"Yes, Ben I will go out with you." She whispers back making me smirk. I felt butterflies fluttering inside my stomach making me slightly nervous. I wonder what will happen to Chad actually that does not matter as long Mal will go out with me.
