Beautiful Soul [Descendants Fanfic]

Ch. 18 What exactly is the Tourney?

A few hours later, it is lunchtime at Auradon Prep. The school bell rings, alerting all the students and staff that it is currently lunchtime. Liam looked at his surroundings, feeling confused since he isn't sure what is going on. 

" Is that the end of the school day bell?" Liam asked, sounding confused. 

Ben amusingly chuckles, and he shakes his head in response. 

" No. That's the bell for lunchtime. Are you hungry? I can take you to the cafeteria. We can get food and continue to know one another," Ben kindly asked with his hand still holding Liam's.

At the mention of food, Liam's stomach growl, causing Ben to stare at him amusingly. 

" Yeah! Sounds great," Liam responded with a timid smile. 

" Hey, Benny!" A familiar voice calls out to Ben. 

Ben and Liam turned to the voice, and they see Andy walking in their direction with Evie by their side and hugging their arm. 

" Hey, Andy," Ben kindly greets Andy. 

" Hey, Evie. What do you think of Auradon Prep so far?" Liam softly smiled. 

Evie hears her name, looks away from Andy, and she kindly smiled when she sees Liam and Ben. 

" Auradon Prep is amazing! They have so many classrooms. They even have a library. Oh! Oh! I also saw a swimming pool, basketball courts, and a football field," Evie excitedly speaks. 

" It's a Tourney Field, Darling," Andy clarified. 

" Tourney?" Liam's bright blue eyes blinked, looking confused since he had never heard of a sport like Tourney back at Isle of the Lost. 

" Shoot!" Ben lets go of Liam's hand, and he facepalmed himself. " I am so sorry, Liam! I forgot to tell you about Auradon's popular sport, The Tourney," He apologized, looking flustered. 

Andy amusingly stared at Ben since they have never seen the Crown Prince look so flustered. 

" It's okay. What exactly is the Tourney?" Liam kindly asked. 

" The Tourney is a cross between lacrosse, hurling, soccer, and football," Ben responded. 

" Every Tourney team has at least seven players," Andy remembered. 

Ben nods his head, reassuring Andy that what they said is true. 

" There are three forwards, and their primary duty is to pass the ball around and score," Ben explained. 

" The Left and Right Forwards are the best scorers and fastest players of the team," Andy grinned. " How do I know this? Well, you are looking at one of Auradon Prep's Forwards," They motioned to themselves. 

" Amazing," Evie stared at Andy in awe. " Are you the Left or Right Forward?" She asked, sounding curious. 

" Right Forward. Ben here is the Left Forward," Andy points to Ben. 

Liam glanced at Ben, and his bright blue eyes blinked when he sees the other male akwardly rubbing the back of their neck. 

" A Crown Prince, Student Council President, and a Tourney Player. What else am I missing?" Liam amusingly asked while teasing Ben. 

" Nothing. I assure you of that," Ben turns his gaze to Liam, and the two males intently stare at one another. 

Liam hummed when he sees Ben's bright green eyes stare at him with curiosity and intrigue. 

' His eyes. They remind me of Auradon's majestic forest,' Liam tells himself. 

" Oh! The other Forward player is the Center. They are the most offensive player who leads the charge into the opposing team's side and blocks almost as much as Defenders," Ben comes back to the conversation of the Tourney sport by looking away and turning their gaze to Andy and Evie.
