Waiting On Pixie Dust

1-1

When I had asked my mother growing up, she would explain love was a warm and sweet feeling. Though as I grew older she admitted, she never fell in love before. Aunt Tinkerbell would explain it differently, as I got older she would tell me all the times she had loved. She had admitted to falling in love too quickly, but she always said it was this overwhelming feeling. It could consume your whole body, leaving behind a warm fuzzy feeling. True love would leave your skin on fire, craving everything the other person had to give. Their time, touches, voices and even physical gifts. That's what had me almost craving the love you'd only find in those fairytale books. Though I never got to experience 'love', well not yet at least. 

The guys at Auridon were either single, or engaged to be engaged. It was funny how their lives had been planned out for them since birth, while mine I got some sort of choice. I could make my own way in this world, even with my royal position. Take my friend King Ben as an example. He had an arrangement ready for him, but he got the chance to find his true love. Which I'm glad because I love Mal more then I did Audrey, Audrey was a bit annoying at times.

"Har" Jay said and I nodded, he slung his arm around my shoulders. He led the way to the courtyard, "Caspians asking about you" Jay said with his usual smirk. I just shrugged my shoulders, I used to have a huge crush on Caspian last year. He was the son of Queen Ariel and King Eric. "Yeah?" I asked and he nodded, though I knew if he said that a couple months back I'd faint. Now things felt different, almost like something was waiting to happen. I chose to brush it off, since Cotlion was around the corner. Maybe I was just worried since the event was big, it was the turning point for everyone.

"Who are you taking to Cotillion?" I asked, his smirk grew slightly. "I'm going solo" he said and I nodded, I was also going without a date. A lot of people asked me but I just told them 'no', though no one got the idea since my locker was still filled with notes and gifts. "Actually, can you help me clean my locker again?" I asked. Jay nodded as he was there the last time, my locker was filled to the top with things. I led the way as I slipped my phone into my skirt pocket, 'this would be a messy experience' I thought as I dragged Jay along.

We arrived to see papers sticking out, Jay laughed before dropping his hand from mine. He turned and grabbed the big garbage can, I sighed before opening my lock. I nodded when Jay glanced at me, "You ready?" I asked and he smiled. Opening my locker as notes poured out, I was thankful Jay had the garbage. We laughed as he caught all the notes, but it was like an endless portal. "Seriously" we both said, as more just kept coming out. People really had a problem, who had this much time in their day.

I heard the clicks of Evie's heels, knowing she was coming to see my locker situation. "There was even more then last time" she stated as I nodded, it wasn't unusual for people to slip things in my locker. It got even worse around big events, leading me to move my school work to Jay's. Since to no one's shock ever he was not a fan of keeping his school work, after he was done or even doing school work. "Damn" Evie said as, Jay finally finished cleaning. "Thank you" I said before pecking Jay's cheek, I was actually grateful to have him as a friend. Well he thought of it more as being siblings, which I never minded. "You know it'd stop if you picked a date" Evie said as she let out a breath filled laugh. I shook my head, it wasn't the attention I got or anything. I just didn't want to choose someone I had no feelings for, romantically or even friendly.

"History of kingdoms literally starts in 5 minutes" Carlos said as he appeared. Though he only grabbed my arm, dragging me away as I waved. I sighed knowing I hated this class, "I can walk on my own Carlos" I said. Though I only got a head shake in return, his grip was soft enough to not hurt me but I didn't bother breaking free. 'You skip a few classes and now I feel like a puppy on a leash' I thought to myself, as I let out a quiet laugh. 

The thought was funny, as I remembered a memory from my childhood. Chad and Caspian both had one of those child leash backpacks, since they would run the first chance they got. Me and Chole used to make fun of them so much, speaking of the female Charming. I had to plan a visit to her, it'd been a long while since we had hung out.

"We made it" Carlos said, as he dragged me in just as the bell rang. I groaned as I sat beside him, a nap sounded like heaven right now. Though Mr Thatcher encouraged note taking, since he really did base his tests of class work. My hands cramped and ached as I finished the notes, my notebook looked to be on its last life. Meaning it was time to ask Mal to enchant it, so it would have more pages. 

Though speaking of the dark fairy, I hadn't seen her at all today. Which in comparison to any other day, there would be at least one chance me and her would talk. "Mal needs you in your dorm" Carlos chimed in as we packed our things. I nodded before throwing everything in my bag, not caring how everything went in. Shrinking so I would get there faster, though the halls looked almost empty with how fast I was flying.

The blonde was on my bed with an almost sorren look, "Mal what happened?" I asked catching her attention. Her eyes held tears that I was sure would fall at some point. "I tired to be perfect Har" Mal said, I moved slowly towards her. "No ones perfect Mal" I said as I sat beside her, she laid her head on my shoulder. "Ben and I got into a fight Har" Mal said causing her voice to crack, she was really hurt causing me to freeze. 'What did Ben say' I asked myself in my head, Mal looked torn right now. "I want to go back" she said and I nodded, she had every right to go back to the isle. I just feared for her, since she be going back alone. "If you want that, I won't stop you" I stated, Mal was like my older sister. Auradon wasn't for everyone, I knew that for a fact. Since I had been in similar situation when I came to Auradon Prep. 

Pixie Hollow was way different then Auradon, since we still fully embraced our magic heritage. I still use my abilities everyday, so I knew what prespure Mal was under. Supporting her idea of leaving wasn't because I wanted her gone, I wanted her safe and happy.
