Ella sat in her sister's room as she was going through her homework. She heard them discussing the wand causing her to stand up and walk out. "What's wrong with your sister?"

Evie nodded. "Ella?"

Mal smiled. "Hold that thought."

The purple haired girl looked out the door to see Ella and Ben. "I haven't seen you all day. I was just wondering if you had any questions or anything that you needed."

Ella shook her head as she didn't know. "I do." Mal says as she stood beside her friend. "Is it true that we all get to go to your cornation?"

The dark haired girl looked at her friend wondering where she was going with this. She didn't say much as Ben answered Mal's question, but when she asked if they could sit up front, he looked at Ella. "I have to discuss something with my parents..."

"Bye." Mal says walking away causing Ella to look at him.

"I have nothing to say about her." She says. "Um...I'll catch you around."

"Sure."
~~~
Ella never knew that Mal had as plan. "I know how we're getting in that front role." She says. "Give me my spell book." Carlos tossed her the book. "Time to make Benny Boo fall in love with Ella."

"I think he already is in love with her." Evie says. "Plus you know how Ella gets if she's being used."

"Yes, but...she's our only choice to get that wand. I will do everything to apologize to her, but for now, Ella is our key."

Evie didn't say anything else as she knew her sister was going to be extremely pissed off.

Sitting in her room, Ella was dressed for the night as she put a movie on. A knock on her door caused her to answer it. "Ben, what brings you by?"

"Came to spend some time with you." He says. "Can I come in?"

Ella moved to let him in. She shut her door and wondered why he was doing this. Why her?
~~~
The next day, Ella was walking to her locker with Ben talking to her. "Here comes trouble." She mumbles causing Audrey to walk up to them and start in on about what Mal did. "You know, maybe she was trying to be helpful since you rather judge."

Audrey didn't say a word as she walked away causing Ella to roll her eyes. 'Ella." She turned. "Evie told me last night that you were wanting some cookies, but had a load of homework." Ella nodded slowly. "I made you a batch."

"Thank you?" She says. "Ben, would you like to have one."

"Sure." He says. "I can't turn you down."

Ella smiled as he took a bite. Mal watched how he looked at her friend causing her to smirk. "It worked." She mumbled.

"I never noticed that you have beautiful hazel eyes."

"Thank you."

Jay grabbed Ben by the shoulder. "How are you feeling, bro?"

"Yeah." He looked at Ella. "I can just sing your name..."

"I wouldn't do that." Mal says.

Ella looked at Mal then to him. "I believe you have a game that you are going to miss." She tells him. "I'll be there."

Jay dragged Ben off causing Ella to look at the other three. "What the hell did you four do?"

"Nothing." Mal says. "Promise."

Ella didn't believe a word as she walked away.
~~~
At the game, Ella was sitting in the front roll as everyone was cheering. She never understood a game, but she was interested. She watched Jay and Carlos and smiled. "Oh boy." She says. "Show offs."

Mal was watching Ella as the game kept going. She knew the dark haired girl will be pissed, but she only wants that mother love the princess talk about. When Ben scored the winning shot, Ella smiled till he grabbed the mic. "Excuse me guys, can I have your attention?" Ben says.

"Oh no." Evie says. "Mal, I think Ella may figure it out."

"There's something I'd like to say." He says as he started looking around till his eyes landed on Ella. "Give me an E!" Everyone shouted E as Ella was wondering what he was doing. "Give me an L."

"I'm going to kill them."

"Give me another L."

Audrey got upset and ran off the field. "Give me an A!"

Ella couldn't believe he spelt her name then started singing about how much he loves her. She shook her head as she does have feelings for him, but she didn't expect him to act like this before she told him. "Have I ever told you that I love you, Ella."

"You just did." She says. "In a song."

"Do you love me?"

Ella smiled. "Ben, I do, but this wasn't the way I wanted to tell you." She says.

Ben put his shirt over her head making her smile. "Will you go as my date to the cornation?"

"Of course."

Ben hugged her causing her to smile till she saw her sister and Mal. They saw the glare and knew, they screwed up.
