The girls caught up to their mothers in-side.
"How's Uli doing?" Bridget asked. "I feel so terrible.... I should go apologize-"
"Don't!" Ella said. "She did it to herself. And it serves her right. She's always bullying us."
The door opened, stalling the conversation, and Prince Charming walked in.
"Ella, that was amazing. You ladies bested Uliana! I don't think anyone's ever done that before. That makes you braver than I am. And I'm a prince!" He turned to Red and Chloe.
"Though I don't really like to push the royal angle."
"Yet you always find a way," Ella said stiffly.
Charming grinned at her attitude and turned once more to Red and Chloe.
"You're the new girls, right? I'm Charming."
"That's debatable," Ella said.
He ignored her dig and continued speaking to Red and Chloe.
"And you guys picked the right time to show up, because ... it's Castlecoming week!" he said. He tried to catch Ella's eye, but no luck. She seemed to be intentionally avoiding his gaze.
"Castlecoming is an outdated, elitist tradition," Ella said.
"Wait, so ... does that mean you're not..." Charming started.
"Squeezing into a super-expensive dress and painful shoes? No thanks," Ella said.
Charming tried to hide his disappointment.
"Right. Well ... if you happen to change your mind, I'll see ya there."
He turned and took off down the hall. Ella watched him, her expression unreadable. "Hey, Ella, he seemed very interested in your plans for the festival," Chloe said. "Was I sensing some chemistry?"
"Uh, no. Okay, yeah, everyone loves him. And sure, he's gorgeous and he seems nice, but you know how royalty is." She quickly corrected herself. "Except you, B. You're different. So is Skyler."
"I heard my name." Skyler said coming to stand with the group.
Chloe stared at her mother in disbelief. How her parents had ever ended up together was starting to seem like a mystery to her.
Bridget sighed longingly. "I just wish someone was that interested in going with me. I mean Hook wants to go with you Sky. The whole school knows it. Everyone already has plans, so..." she explained to Red.
Ella looked at her with a sly smile. "Bridget, will you go to Castlecoming with me?"
