Evermore

Chapter 7

As Beau entered his shared dorm room, he noticed Ben at the table sketching something and decided to look. He quietly sneaked a peak to see an empty piece of paper with some written lyrics on it "Whatcha doing?" he asked, Ben scrambled and screamed a little in fright, he thought it was Chad or something but as he turned he saw Beau with his hands up and a near to laughter face. "Beau, god you scared me!" Ben screamed as he tried to normalize his heartbeat. It took a minute but he recover quickly and shoved the paper into the bin.

"To answer your question it was nothing ok" "yeah no, not convincing enough but ok I'll take it, but if need help with lyrics don't come for me ok" an awkward silence soon followed as Beau spoke these words as they kinda ran out of words to say. "I'm going to take a shower before bed" "you need some help?" Ben offered, "no I'll be fine, thanks for the offer anyway," Beau said as he made his way to the bathroom. Ben worried for him his, health, everything, not just because he was a VK, no, far from it, it was because he was still a kid, a child that knows nothing of the world around him but came to realize the world's flaws at such a young age. He feels that he wants to protect Beau from this cruel and unfair world. But those thoughts would have to wait as Beau just got out of the shower as he heard the turn of the faucet to off.

After Beau bathed and dressed for the night he simply sat on his bed staring at a golden object in his hands. Ben wanted to see what he had in his hand but chose not to pry as it wasn't the right thing to do. "How are your injuries? Are they still painful?" Ben asked as he tried to break the awkward air, "they're fine" he replied, "it stings a bit but I'll live," Ben nodded in response and now focused on the empty paper before him,

"About those lyrics your furriness, its ridiculous, r-i-d-i-c-u-l-o-u-s, it makes me barf, if your girlfriend even hears about this I would've been down on my knees begging for you to stop, oh and did I mention it's bad, well anyway, sorry but that's my personal opinion anyway so good night, your royal furriness" and with that Beau went to sleep as he turned off his lamp, meanwhile gears were starting to turn on Ben's mind as Beau said those words until finally, he got it, the lyrics he needs for the song. Unbeknownst to Beau about the embarrassing horror he just unleashed.

Auradon Prep (hallways)

Beau was in the halls trying to find his classroom when suddenly he heard thundering pair of feet rushing towards him. Curiously he looked from his shoulder and saw a silhouette of a girl with golden hair going in his direction fast, but before he could even react they bumped and fell from impact, and unfortunately, he was the cushion. 'Why does this happen to me?!' he thought angrily, "Oh my... I'm so sorry" the girl on top of him said, "it's alright, now can you please get off me your heavy as a pig" "well that's rude, now I don't want to move until you take that back" the girl on top of him said "well then fine be my guest I have all the time in the world for your punishment" Beau argued as he mentally crossed his arms.

The both of them fell into an eerie silence until she spoke again, "wait your Beau right?" "what if I am?" Beau sarcastically asked, "well if you don't remember who I am then, I have to jog your memory again, it's me Eliza Charming remember, one of Rick's friends" Beau pondered at the girl's accusation when he finally remembered her from the tourney field. "yeah, now I remember, you were the girl who kicked her brother at the foot and punched him at the stomach, I heard it was a great punch by the way" "first of all, I couldn't just let it go I mean he hit you with a ball, and second, he basically deserved it so for being a total snob all the time, and lastly your basically my friend" Ellie replied in a giddy manner, meanwhile Beau scowled as he mentally rolled his eyes from the smugness on her voice and gave a small smirk.
