Chapter 12 - Discussions

Mal's POV

"Mum says, if a boy can't see the beauty within, then he's not worth it," Jane complained. She was leaning against the bedpost of Scarlette's bed, talking to us. Evie was sewing a dress, Scarlette was throwing pins at the door, and I was sketching.

"I mean, what world does she live in?" Asked Jane, exasperated. I snorted. I have a wide variety of snorts. This one was sarcastic. "Auradon," I muttered. Scarlette chuckled, then threw another pin. Bang. It hit the door.

Evie held up a dress made of blue and black leather. "Mal, Lottie, you like?" She asked. "Yeah. It's cute." I said, indifferent. Scarlette glanced over. "It brings out your eyes." She complimented. Wow. I never thought that Scarlette knew about fashion and all that. Then Scarlette turned around and threw another pin. Bang. It hit the door.

"I know," Evie said, in reply to Scarlette's statement. "I'll never get a boyfriend," Jane whined. I snorted again, a 'this is obvious' snort. "Boyfriends are overrated," I told her. Evie smiled sweetly. "And how would you know, M? You've never had one." That was unfair. You didn't have boyfriends on the isle and she knew that. But anyway, "That's cause I don't need one, E. They're a waste of time." 

"Oh no," Evie said, getting up hurriedly. "I forgot to do Chad's homework! Oh no no no no no." I scoffed. "And that  is exactly what I mean." Scarlette laughed. She threw another pin. The door opened and a girl with a short black bob and a primary-coloured dress walked in. The pin narrowly missed her face.

"Oh! Um, hey guys, I'm Sofie." I raised an eyebrow. Was that supposed to mean anything? The girl looked confused. "My mom's Snow White? No?" Evie coughed lightly. Sofie looked at her and gasped fearfully. "Oh. Um, well, anyways. I love what you've done with Jane's hair. And I know you hate us, and well, you're evil..." She glanced at Evie who was back to sewing. "But do you think you could do mine?"

I snorted (one full of scorn) and said, "Why would I do that for you?" The girl shrugged. "I'll pay you 50 bucks." She held out a small bag full of coins. Evie stood up quickly. Sofie shrank back. "Good answer," Evie said sweetly. "I need to buy more material. Let's see, I say we lose the bangs, maybe some layers and some highlights." Sofie laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. I want it cool. Like Mal's." She gestured to me. I raised my eyebrows. Scarlette giggled. "Really? The split ends too?" I glared at her. She shrugged and went to pull the pins out of the door.

I sighed. "Okay... 'Beware, forswear, replace the old with cool hair.'" Magic twinkled around her and her hair grew longer and curled at the ends. Evie put her hands on the girl's shoulders. "I know. I know. It looks like a mop on your head." Evie said, oblivious to the girl staring at herself in awe. "You know what? Let's cut it off, layer it..." 

Then the girl interrupted. "No, no, no, no, no, no! I love it." Evie was shocked. "You do?" The girl nodded. "It's just..." She paused and ripped the skirt of her dress. "Now I'm cool." I snorted (the sarcastic one again) "Like ice." Then Jane stood beside us and ripped her dress like the other girl's. Then she gasped. "What did I just do? Mom's gonna kill me!

I laughed condescendingly. Sofie giggled. "Come on Jane, Let's go show Trace and Audrey our new hair." Then they left our room.

Moments later, Carlos walked in with a dog and sat at the end of my bed  Then Freddy entered and seated himself at the table. Then Jay and Hamish walked in, both sporting Auradon tourney shirts.

"Hey!" Called Carlos. "Did your plan work with Jane?" Hamish asked, "Are you going over to see the wand?" I glared at them. "Do you think I'd be going through every spell in my spell book if I hadn't completely  struck out?" Carlos laughed, patted the dog, and said, "Someone's in a bad mood."

I flicked his head, irritated. "My mom's counting on me! I can't let her down!" Jay walked over. "We can do this..." We looked at him oddly. He sighed "...If we stick together." I looked at them all. "And we won't go back until we do. Because we're rotten..." They echoed, "To the core.

Evie sighed, drawing our attention. "Oh, yeah. I found out that Fairy Godmother blesses Ben with the wand at coronation and we all get to go. I have nothing to wear, of course." We stared at her. She shrugged. "What?" Then there was a knock at our door. "Hold that thought," I told her before opening the door.
It was Ben. he grinned at me. "Hey, Mal. I didn't see you guys today. I was just wondering If you had any questions or anything... That... you needed..." I shook my head "Not that I know of."Ben laughed awkwardly. "Okay. All right. Well, uh, If you need anything, just, uh..." Then I remembered what Evie had said.
"Oh, wait! Um, is it true that we all get to go to your coronation?" Ben grinned. "Yeah, the whole school goes." My eyes widened. "Wow. That is beyond exciting. Do you think that It's a possibility that the eight of us could stand in the front row next to the Fairy Godmother, just so we could soak up all that goodness?" I stared at Ben imploringly. 

He sighed sadly. "I wish you could. Up front it's just me, my folks, and my girlfriend." I raised an eyebrow, a plan forming in my mind. "And your girlfriend?" I repeated. Ben smiled apologetically. "Yeah. I'm sorry." "Okay, thanks bye," I said quickly, shutting the door. "Oh, but, no, there's plenty of..." Ben tried to say, but I just shut the door.

Then I turned to the other VKs. "I think It's time that Bennyboo got himself a new girlfriend. And I need a love spell."

The VKs have come up with their best plan yet! Here's today's meme
