The next day, the VKs all sat in a classroom with FG at the head of the class, trying to get the kids to engage with her. Mal and Evie sat at the two seater table on the right side of the aisle, and the boys and Payton sat on the other. Evie was "spacing out," but in reality she was just trying to not look smart. Mal was too busy drawing her current obsession which was the wand. Jay was zoned out, more than half asleep. Carlos was just zoned out, but he kept looking over at Payton who was writing in a journal. He couldn't see what she was writing because of a spell barrier she put up, but he wanted to. He wanted to know more about the girl who we had a feeling he knew her biggest secret. Who her mother is.
"If someone hands you a crying baby, do you, A, curse it? B, Lock it in a tower? C, Give it a bottle? Or D, carve out its heart?" FG asks. She looks at Evie who has her hand up. before calling on her, "Evie?"
"What was the second one again?" Evie asks, cluelessly.
"Oh, okay, anyone else? Payton ?" FG asks, hoping the girl will get it right.
Payton rolls her eyes, "C, give it a bottle."
FG nods in recognition of her answer as the rest of her classmates give her a surprised look, besides Mal.
"How did you know that?" Carlos asks, intrigued.
"I grew up helping raise the lost boys, half the time all those crying kids wanted was a bottle."
Mal scoffs, "Basically just chose the one that doesn't sound like any fun."
All of the "bratty bunch" make faces of understanding and suddenly seem to see the next few questions as a competition between each other.
"Oh! Hello dear one!" FG says, gaining the attention of the class, causing them all to take a peek at the young girl who had just entered the room. Carlos has a slight pink hue to him, which Payton takes notice of and smirks. The young woman, Jane, saw this smirk and thought it was meant for her and her eyes go wide. Payton has her father's smirk, so you can imagine how terrifying it looks. The scared girl squeals as she passes by the VKs. She makes her way up to FG.
"H-Hi, you need to sign off on early dismissal for the coronation," the scared girl said to FG. She handed her a clipboard which FG took and started talking to her VK students.
"Everyone here remembers my daughter, Jane?" FG asks, not looking up from the clipboard. Jane's eyes go wide.
"Mom, no!"
"It's okay, Jane," FG starts, turning her daughter toward the group and pushing her toward them, "this is everyone."
Jane slowly walks toward the group, still shaking like a leaf, making Payton hold back her laughter, and the young girl starts talking to the VKs like they're wild animals, because in her eyes they were, "Hi, that's okay, don't mind me, as you were."
