IN HER OWN LITTLE WORLD, WILLOW TRAILED BEHIND HER FOUR BEST FRIENDS AS THEY MADE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE SCHOOL. Every girl they walked by drooled over Jay, hoping he would ask one of them to the Royal Cotillion. Willow had been in her own mind that last few months, especially recently. Ever since Ben became King, everything was different. It wasn't a bad different, but it was different.

    Carlos came to a stop and turned to Jay, making the rest of them stop as well. Reymond Roger's approached the group and wrapped an arm around Mal's shoulder. He just recently transferred only a few months ago, not long after the coronation and almost immediately took a liking toward Mal. They were cute.

    "Uhm, Jay," Carlos begins with, "If you were gonna ask someone, what's the best way to go?"

    Jay sighs softly and places a hand on his best friends shoulder, "Listen, all you gotta do," he took a brief pause, "is look like me."

    "Oh, ha-ha." Carlos rolled his eyes.

    "Or, like me," Rey chimed in, placing a hand under his chin, and batting his eyelashes in a teasingly manner. Rey was very attractive, he got his looks from his father, King Naveen, "Nah, man. Make her something to eat or sing her a song."

Carlos sighed softly, tilting his head and thinking about it but he was pulled out of his thoughts when Jane approached them, looking directly at Willow. Lonnie trailed close behind her. Willow tilted her head back and her arms that gripped her books, tightened. "Hi, Jane," he greeted.

"Hi," Jane replied, shyly. Carlos glanced back at his friends nervously, but they all looked at him with supportive smiles. All except Willow and it was nothing toward Carlos but she was just overly exhausted. Especially because she knew Jane was only talking to them because of Willow and the questions she knew she was about to be asked. In truth, Willow was just exhausted.

"I was wondering, uh," Carlos paused, unsure before continuing, "If you liked the carrot cake last night?" Willow eyes opened at this and she furrowed an eyebrow. "I had the pumpkin pie," Jane told him, seemingly not minding his odd question.

Rey pecked Mal's cheek and left her side. He walked up to Carlos and placed an arm around his shoulder, "Smooth," then dragged him away, with Jay right beside them. Evie goes to follow but stops, "I have a fitting for three. Who wants it?"

    "Me!" Lonnie exclaims, eager to get it before Jane could. "Perfect," Evie smiles and looks to Jane, "I'll take you later," she walks away with Mal. Ever since Willow's coronation outfit, Evie had become a big hit and everyone wanted an outfit from her. Willow goes to follow but Jane stops her, "Willow. I hate to keep bugging you but the Decorating Committee needs more answers," says Jane and Willow puts on a fake smile.

    "So, as much as I hate to, uhm . . ." Jane pauses.

    "Bug me?"

    "Yeah."
