Mal watched her as she walked by and Ilaria glanced at her before continuing her way towards Ben. Naturally, Audrey was complaining because Mal had done some of the girls hair using magic.

     ". . . and then where will I be?" Audrey finished saying, a pout on her lips.

     "Hopefully in the trash where you belong." Ilaria commented, coming to a stop beside Ben.

     Audrey scoffed. "It's not me that belongs in the trash."

     "Audrey," Ben warned.

     Audrey looked at him with disbelief. She rolled her eyes. "I will see you at the game after my dress-fitting for the coronation, okay?"

     "Okay," Ben muttered.

     Audrey smiled. "Bye Benny-Boo." She gave him an air kiss on the cheek before turning and leaving.

     Ben stood there for a moment, pressing his lips together as he turned to look at her. "You know, it's hard for me to keep her from bashing you when you do it to her first."

     Ilaria smiled. "Well, what can I say? It does bring me joy."

     Ben shook his head, trying to hide the smile that wanted to crawl on his lips. "Are you coming to the game?"

     She lightly pushed his shoulder. "Of course I am. I have to support one of my only friends, don't I?"

     "You do," Ben agreed. "Hey, but I want to meet up after the game."

     Ilaria couldn't help but frown. "That doesn't sound good. Have I managed to piss off the ol' parents again?"

     Ben chuckled. "No. Surprisingly." Ilaria scoffed in mock offense. "I just feel like we haven't hung out a lot lately. Is it wrong of me to want to spend some time with my best friend?"

     Ilaria smiled brightly and shook her head. "No, I don't think that's wrong at all."

     "Good." He placed a hand on her shoulder, giving it a small squeeze. "I'll see you after the game." Ilaria nodded and watched as he walked away, running straight into Mal and watching as she offered him a cookie. She subtly leaned against the lockers, crossing her arms over her chest and watching the exchange. Although she couldn't hear what was being said, she watched as Ben ate the cookie and the other three VK's slowly began to creep forwards. She jumped in surprise when Ben suddenly starting loudly singing Mal's name, causing Mal to quickly cover Ben's mouth with her hand. Ilaria slowly stood up straight, her eyebrows raised in surprise.
