THE NEXT DAY, WILLOW COULDN'T STOP HERSELF FROM THINKING ABOUT BEN. He was so kind to her and her friends, not to mention, quite handsome now that she thought about it. She rounded the corner, heading straight for her locker when she caught sight of her purple haired friend and the future king of Auradon.

    For a moment, she forgot about the love potion.

    Approaching the two, she wore a small smile on her face that was mostly directed toward Ben, "Mal," she greeted and then looked at Ben, "Ben."

    "Willow," he returned the smile as he chewed on the cookie, "Did you . . ." he suddenly trailed off, making the brunette confused, ". . . has your hair always been that curly?"

    Still, profoundly confused, Willow looks down to his hand and spots the chocolate chip cookie they had made the previous night with the love potion in it. "Oh, no," she whispered and looked over to Mal who looked approving at this. In Mal's mind, she would rather Ben be lovestruck over Willow than her.

    Jay, Evie, and Carlos walk up to three. Jay approaches Ben from behind and gently grabs ahold of his shoulders, "How you feeling, bro?"

    Ben, not being able to take his eyes off Willow, smiles softly, "I feel . . . I feel . . . I feel like singing your name," he opens his mouth to do so, but before he could Willow steps forward and places her hand over his mouth. Jay grabs the bag of cookies that was still in Mals hand and whistles.

    "Okay, Ben," Willow pulls her hand away, "Go with Jay and Carlos, and get ready for your game, okay?"

    "Will you be there?" he hoped.

    "Of course. Now go!" Willow says, giving him a gentle shove. Before he left, Ben reached down and pecked her cheek before running off with Jay and Carlos. Her mouth dropped and she turned to Mal and Evie, "What just happened?"

    Evie steps forward and locks their arms. "You, my evil friend, have a boyfriend!"

AT THE TOURNEY GAME, WILLOW NERVOUSLY TAPPED HER FOOT AGAINST THE BLEACHERS. "I have a bad feeling," she says glancing over at Mal. The purple haired girl looks over at her and smiles, "Good."

"No," Willow shook her head, "Not as in a good evil feeling. I mean, a bad feeling." Mal looks over at her for a second longer not truly knowing what she meant. Willow had two bad feelings, in all honesty. One was this game. She had a feeling Ben was gonna do something, well, ridiculous. And two, she regret about putting a love potion into the cookie.

"There's forty-seven seconds left on the clock," the game announcer says, "We're all tied up. The Sherwood Falcons, two. The Fighting Knights, two. What a game between Auradon fiercest rivals."

Jay and Carlos sat on the bench, which Willow was kinda surprised about. Coach practically begged Jay to play for him and now he's sitting out? In what world did that make sense?
