Beatrix's POV

Dear Diary,

I sat with my parents in our grand dining hall, eating our roast beef dinner. I could tell Dad was about to bring up the VKs, from the ominous silence. He still wasn't thrilled with the idea of them in Auradon, and he even blamed the museum break-in on them. I honestly didn't mind the VKs. Especially that one called Freddy. He was cute, and funny, and... I can't believe this! I'm not crushing on a VK! I can't be!

"Ahem." Dad cleared his throat. "How have the... erm... new students been going?" He asked. Ben grinned. "Fantastic." He said. I rolled my eyes. Here comes the speech, I thought. "They are doing really well catching up in all their classes, and the boys are even going to try out for the tourney team!" Dad frowned. "You're not going to let them, right?" He asked. Ben assured him that they would see how good they were before letting them on the team.

"But why shouldn't they be let on the team?" I asked. "I mean,  if they have potential, why should we stop them from being on the team?" Dad frowned. "Because they're... villains?" He growled. I glared at him. "Just because they're villain's kids doesn't make them villains!"  I yelled. Ben put a hand on my arm. I pushed him away. I didn't need to be babied right now.

"Yes, it does!" Dad roared. His face was going red with anger. "Adam," Said Mum. Dad's face softened. "I guess you're right." He said. Then he grinned jokingly. "Auradon's tourney team does need some new, better, players!" I laughed. Ben hit me playfully on the arm. He was the captain of the tourney team.

I was glad that the intense conversation was over. Now I could go back to dreaming about Freddy... "Stop!" I whispered to myself. "What's the matter?" Ben asked me. "Just... Stressed about the coronation" I lied. Ben frowned at me. I could tell he knew that I was lying, and no doubt we would get back into the conversation later.

I finished my roast beef, then excused myself, and quickly ran up to my bedroom. I had to talk to someone, and the best person for that was my B.R.A.F.F. (Best Really Annoying Friend Forever), Audrey. I flopped onto my bed, took off my heels, and switched on my phone. Because I am the princess, while the role is annoying and tedious and involves a lot of heels, I can get the latest and best phone models. My current one came out 2 months ago, it is the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. 

I had 134 messages and 20 missed calls. All from Audrey. Does that princess have nothing better to do? I read through the latest messages.

Audrey: Where are you?

Audrey: Are you there?

Audrey: Do you even have your phone?

Audrey: How stupid were the VKs yesterday?

Audrey: There was the Purple-Haired Princess,  who was totally trying to steal Ben from me.

Audrey: There was the Blue Girl, who was sooo vain. Can you imagine that?

Audrey: There was Muscle Boy, who was totally oblivious to the fact that I had a boyfriend.

Audrey: There was the Scarred Girl, who is definitely going to be trouble.

Audrey: There was Scared Boy, who is a total wimp.

Audrey: There was Pirate Boy, who was fooling nobody with his lame fake hook.

Audrey: Then there was the Top Hat Boy, who was so absorbed in his cards or whatever to even notice where we were going.

I decided not to tell Audrey about my potential crush.

I jumped as there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" I called, recovering myself. Ben opened. the door. I tried to smile normally but obviously failed because Ben frowned with concern. "What's wrong?" He asked me, "And don't say you're stressed about the coronation because I know that's not the real reason."

I screamed inside my head. Sometimes having a twin was annoying. "Fine." I sighed. "I think... I think I'm crushing on a VK." Ben's eyebrows went up. I felt my face grow hot. "Which one?" Asked Ben. "Fredrick," I whispered. Ben grinned. He put his arms around me and squeezed me tight. I lent into his warmth, enjoying the feeling.

Then I sat up. "I think I'm going to go to sleep now," I said to my brother. "I'll be fine now." Ben squeezed my hand reassuringly and then left the room. I changed into my pajamas and laid on my four-poster bed. I fell asleep, and although I couldn't remember my dreams, I'm sure Fredrick's face was in them.
