Chapter Eight: It's all just a grand scheme

///~~~~\|

After fencing class was over, Audrey was there, as promised, ready to take you for a treat.

"There you are! How'd it go?"

"I met Chad," you deadpan.

"Annnnd?" she asks. You give her a slightly amused looked and hand her a sheet of paper. Audrey looks at it for a moment, squealing in excitement.

"You made the team!" she says excitedly.

"Yeahhh," you reply, not understanding why she was so hyped but it was quite entertaining. "So what's this treat you were talking about?"

"Oh yeah! Have you ever had cheesecake?"

"What the heck is cheesecake?"

=

"Audreyyy," you moan, taking another bite out of the sweet treat. "This actually tastes so good." Audrey laughs at the rather amusing sounds that come from your mouth, watching as you devour the cheesecake without remorse.

"Glad you like it," she laughs. "So tell me about home." You'd taken a pause from eating to raise an eyebrow at her, curious as to why she was curious about it.

"Uh, alright?" Talking about your childhood was something that never occurred often, unless it was from the younger kids that you hung around occasionally on the Isle. Everyone else already knew what it was like, they'd been through it as well. But this was Auradon, and the people here knew nothing other than sunshine and happiness.

"So, I'm the daughter of Jack Sparrow, which you know already. I have a divided group of friends, they love me, but they hate each other, and it's been like that for a while now."

"Is it hard like that?"

"I've gotten used to it," you admit, pushing yourself back and forth in the chair. "The hardest part would be keeping it a secret from Mal."

"Wait, she doesn't know?" Audrey sudden asks.

"Oh, Hades no," you reply, shaking your head firmly to emphasize the point further. "I wouldn't dare tell her. She's got a god complex that she can't seem to let go of."

"Actually, no one knows on this side except for Carlos, and that's only because he found out and hadn't told me."

Audrey hums thoughtfully, twirling the straw inside her drink slowly counterclockwise. "Are you gonna keep it up forever?"

To be honest, the thought never struck you as to how long you would actual have to or even manage to do it, so when she asked, you really didn't have a good answer for it. She understood though.

"You've handled it this long, what's a little longer?" She encourages. Just as you go to change the topic of conversation, Evie suddenly walks up to your seat, leaving quick, feather-light taps on your shoulder.

"We need you in our dorm," she informs once your gaze is fixed upon her. Giving her a small nod, you stand out of the chair, collecting your belongings and giving Audrey a rare apologetic smile.

"Sorry to cut this so short."

"No worries. Just make sure to text me, alright?" You nod in agreement but internally sigh because you knew that meant having to figure out what on earth a phone did, since Ben had provided you all with one upon the arrival.

"Got it," you answer, beginning to walk away. "By the way, love the cheesecake!"

Arriving at the dorm room, everyone was hung around different areas, Mal lying on the bed stomach down, Carlos on the floor, crosslegged, leaning against the foot of Evie's bed, Jay leaning against the wall beside it, with Evie going to take her spot at the desk.
