Chapter 1: Ways To Be Wicked

Jay and Carlos added more apples to the pot while Evie stirred the glowing green liquid.

"Let's give Auradon a taste of evil," Mal said as she handed me her spellbook.

"Wicked ways beneath the skin... let all who taste it now join in." I read the spell and the cauldron began to glow even brighter.

We all started laughing, cackling even. But it wasn't quite us, it looked more like the old us - how we were back on the Isle.

"We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D
We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D"

Carlos tossed a bucket full of apples out into the hallway and everyone dashed to the ground trying to grab one. I stood against the lockers with Mal while Carlos watched and laughed at all the students on the floor.

"Crashin' the party, guess they lost my invitation." I sang as Mal handed an apple to Jane, "Friendly reminder, got my own kind of persuasion."

"Looks like this place could use a bit of misbehavior. Happily ever after with a little flavor." Carlos joined in as he led Mal and I away, the three of us smirking.

"Bad to the bone with even worse intentions." Jay sang as he threw apples at the marching band, "We're gonna steal the show and leave 'em all defenseless."

"A fairy tale life can be oh-so overrated," Evie sang as she danced around the classroom and threw papers all up in the air, "So raise your voices and let's get it activated."

"Long live having some fun,
We take what we want,
There's so many ways to be wicked,
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong,
There's so many ways to be wicked,"

"Apple, apple
Dip, dip
Wanna try it?
Tick, tick
Take a bite, c'mon, be bold
Change the way the story's told!"

"This time the dark is finally getting your attention" Mal sang as she and Evie handed out apples in the lunch line.

"We're wicked by the book, and class is back in session." Evie sang

"You like it, steal it. Gotta beat 'em to the treasure." Jay joined in, surrounded by the cheerleaders.

"A right of passage. Bad just doesn't get much better!" Carlos and I sang as we tossed apples to Belle and Beast.

"Long live having some fun,
We take what we want,
There's so many ways to be wicked,
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong,
There's so many ways to be wicked,"

"Mother always knows best." Mal sang, raising a flag with the Wicked emblem on it.

"Show her, pass every test." Evie continued.

"Hear her voice in my head." I sang.

"Evil is the only real way to live!" Carlos and Jay sang together.

"We got all the ways to be...
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
W-I-C-K-E-D
Let's go!
We got all the ways to be...
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
W-I-C-K-E-D"
"Long live having some fun,
We take what we want,
There's so many ways to be wicked,
With us evil lives on,
The right side of wrong,
There's so many ways to be wicked,"

"Cruel and unusual,
We're taking control,
There's so many ways to be wicked,
With us evil lives on the right side of wrong,
There's so many ways to be wicked,"

"We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D
We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D
We got all the ways to be
W-I-C-K-E-D
We got all the ways to be..."

"So many ways to be wicked"

"Get up already,"

"No,"

Before I really knew what was happening I felt myself smack right into the cold hardwood flooring.

"Well that was rude," I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and took in my surroundings. I never really was a morning person.

"And?" Mal smirked as she walked around the room getting ready for the day. The signature smirk reminded me of our days on the isle.

Before I could stop myself, I blurted out the first thing I thought of, "Do you miss it?"

"Miss what?" She asked, though I could tell she knew exactly what I was talking about.

It was a stupid question, she was about to be a lady of the court, of course she doesn't miss it.

"Uh, nothing." I lied, "Forget about it."

I couldn't help but think back to my dream. I wasn't just evil, but I had magic. And the worst part is, I enjoyed it.

She tilted her head, watching me in the reflection of the mirror as she fixed her makeup, "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, just had a weird dream," it wasn't a lie but wasn't exactly the truth either.

Her eyebrows furrowed for a second as she thought of something, "Didn't you say you were doing something with Parker today?"

I glanced over at the calendar that was hung in the corner of the room, marked in different colored inks for different events. And sure enough, circled in dark green ink, was my date with Parker.

"Shit-"

I practically tripped as I jumped up from the floor and ran to the closet. I grabbed the outfit that I had left out from the night before and ran to the bathroom to change. I quickly did my hair, putting it into a braid.

I practically ran out of the bathroom and sat down on the edge of my bed so I could put my shoes on.

"You know, I don't think I've ever seen you get ready that fast before." Mal joked.

"Oh haha," I rolled my eyes at her, "Very funny, but at least I'm not late for an interview."

I couldn't help but smirk at the way her face fell at the sudden realization.

I grabbed my phone from its spot on my nightstand and shoved it into my back pocket. I ran out the door and down the hall to find my boyfriend.
