"Gigi, you have to report this!" I groaned, my short brown hair getting in my eyes a little bit. Me and Gigi had been friends since our parents reunited during the United States of Auradon initiative. Now, Gigi was going to be Ben's Royal Advisor, and I would take my rightful place as King of Agrabah.

We were stood in her dorm room, staring at an illustration on the wall.

It was of Agrabah, or at least it's silhouette.

"Ali, it's not that simple. I think we both know who did it, but she's-.." Gigi struggled to find a correct word, "adjusting. I doubt she even knows she's not allowed to spray paint." Gigi sighed and I shook my head, it was typical for Gigi to always try and see the best in people, but these kids were trouble and I knew it wouldn't be long before something bad actually happens.

"Where is she anyway? It's past curfew." I asked the bluenette.

"No idea... I'm sure she's just with her brother or her friends." Gigi smiled, straightening out Jazzy's bedsheets.

"You mean she's with the rest of the troublemakers, probably plotting." I scowled, I was against Ben's initiative. Of course I was. Especially when it included Jay and Jazzy Far.

No-one in Agrabah wanted them back in Auradon, not after everything my parents had to go through because of Jafar, their father.

"You need to loosen up, Ali. I'm sure she's just trying to get accustomed to Auradon life, or perhaps they are trying to remember their schedules off by heart. Give her some credit for even leaving her home." Gigi attempted to change my mind, but it was all made up.

I hated Ben's proclamation, I hated the VKs and I hated Jazzy Far.

"She's very talented, though." Gigi sighed, admiring the painting and how much it reminded her of home. 

I swallowed, she wasn't wrong. The painting was really beautiful, and incredibly detailed.

"Gigi, I know you dislike them as much as I do." I rolled my eyes, trying to provoke a truthful answer from the genie in training.

"Fine. I don't like them, Jazzy and Jay specifically, but as Ben's advisor, I have to support his ideas." Gigi explained, cutting me off as I attempted to protest. 

This was not going to be an easy week. Hopefully, Ben would come to his senses after coronation and send them back where they belong, on the Isle. Where they can't hurt anyone, can't hurt us in particular.

"I'll see you in the morning then, but if anything else happens, report it." I say difinitively.

Gigi returns my words with an unsure nod, her eyes still glued to the painting of home. A small sigh passes my lips as I leave her room and head back to bed.

Just as I am only ten strides from my dorm, I hear a collection of footsteps and pull myself behind one of the overzealous plants.

"You're a dick, Jay. I'd question why you didn't use your brain, but I already know you don't have one." A female voice hisses, their volume increasing the closer they got to me.

I knew instantly who the footsteps belonged to, and began to shake my head angrilly. 

"Jaz, I didn't mean too!" Jay protested, now almost right next to me.

"Yeah, whatever." Jazzy scoffed, stopping right in front of the plant. I could see her raise an eyebrow as she looked at it.

"What is it?" Jay asked, sounding concerned.

Jazzy didn't speak for a moment, her eyes only scanning over the lush green leaves and small pink flowers.

"Even the plants are obnoxious." She groaned, turning back to him as he chuckled and they walked away.

My heart settled as they left and I released myself from the prison of twigs and bugs.

I turned on my heel to get to bed, but as I did I felt someone grip my arm, their rings cold against my skin, and pull me back towards them.

As my eyes met theirs, I scowled, but before I could say anything Jazzy pushed me back against the wall, her hand above my shoulder to keep me there.

"You're crap at hide and seek, how much did you hear?" She hissed, her brown eyes darkening.

"I heard enough. Why were you out past curfew, Miss Far?" I scoffed, watching as a small smirk formed on her face as I stared at her.

"Wouldn't you like to know, love. You clearly know who I am so lets see if I can guess who you are... Brown eyes, brown hair, irritating arrogance, suit that costs more than my house .. Hello, Ali." She smiled, but it was the kind of smile that was filled with so much hate, so much power.

"Hello, Jazzy." I replied, stiffening and fixing my posture.

"You know, I thought I'd loathe meeting you, but it's actually quite entertaining." Her eyes drifted down my body as her teeth moved to bite down on her bottom lip.

"Unfortunately, I can't say the same." I grumbled, my fists clenching at my sides. 

A quick laugh fled her lips, "Too headstrong for your own good, just like your mother."

"Don't say anything against my mother." I growled, my black eyes dimming further than I thought possible, disdain lacing every syllable.

Her smirk only seemed to grow at my words, "Or what? You'll unleash the pussycat on me?" Her laugh was irritating.

"It's a tiger." I grumble, gritting my teeth. This girl- I wanted nothing more than to punch that stupid smirk off of her face.

"Tomato, tomahto." She shrugged, moving her hand off the wall, and stroking one of her fingers down my jawline. "Pretty rich boy..... well, goodnight then."

I stared at her as she walked off, one of her fists open and one of them closed.

I scoffed at how absolutely desperate the daughter of Jafar was, and headed back towards the dorm, running a hand through my hair.

When I reached the door, I felt around for my small, thin wallet in my pocket, because inside was my room key, but couldn't find it.

Thinking that I potentially left it in my other pocket this time, I slid my hand into the other but it wasn't there either.

Then I wondered if it had dropped out of my pocket when I had ducked behind the plant, so I backtracked my steps and looked around for about five minutes, but to no avail.

It had gone completely missing.

With a sigh, I crept down the hallway to the library and chill room and pushed open the door. After students were caught on the cameras making out in there, Fairy Godmother had removed all the security. 

Falling into one of the beanbags, I closed my eyes, worried sick about where my key, ID and money had gone.
