As the girls walked in class, Red and Chloe were stopped by a man with a long brown beard and hair, he has on a blue coat with a some glasses falling off his nose, and he was holding on to a wand, it's Merlin. "Who are you two young ladies?" Merlin asked looking both of them up and down, Bridget and Ella were behind both of them, Rest of the kids were settling in their seats.Bridget spoke before the two young girls can speak.
"They are transfer students!" Bridget said enthusiastically. "Transfer students? I didn't get no letter about some transfer students." Merlin then looked through his coat rustling in it and couldn't find anything, "Oh well! I'll look for it later, Settle in everyone" he announced. Red had followed Bridget and Chloe had followed Ella.
"Can you pass me that?" Bridget asked Red, Red was still looking at her mother in disbelief that her mother used to be this kind. "Why are you.. so nice" Red said with some disgust in her voice, Bridget turned over to look at her, she put her arm on her shoulder and spoke in a soft tone, "You get more with sugar than salt."
"Who was that Uliana girl you were talking about earlier?" Red had asked with curiosity, "She's Ursalas baby sister, she thinks she has to be way meaner than her sister to live up to her reputation." Bridget said while throwing stuff inside the cauldron. "Oh! Sorry it's you I mean me, you know everything's new for me" Red had said with some embarrassment in her voice and an awkward smile. "How many kids were at your old school" Bridget had asked her, "Just me, I was homeschooled." Red responded. "Me too!! I was homeschooled too, you know before I came here." Bridget said with excitement in her voice.
"Okay new girl let's dive in." Ella said with a smile. Ella had grabbed this weird looking thing it seemed like an odd plant, Ella squeezed it and Chloe was gagging because it was disgusting, " Sorry, it's just uh . . . I never have to uh, OH! EW!" Chloe said out loud trying not to gag again, Ella looked at her, "You okay?" She said trying to hold her laugh, "Sorry I just never uh done this" she said trying to give her a smile, Ella turned to her, "Have you ever worked with someone that's not royalty, worried a commoner might rub off on you?" Ella said with a sarcastic tone. "Oh No!" Chloe said trying to make sure she didn't mean it like that.

"Wait so Uliana is gonna do a prank?" Chloe asked Red to clarify, "Yes but I still don't know who's gonna break her heart" Red said as she plopped down on to the bed, "but while we were walking to class, she was looking at someone," Red said with a puzzled expression, "Who was it?" Chloe asked, "Not sure, he looked like some sort of pirate or something." Red responded. "We just have to find out how they are gonna do the prank and try to stop it, that's our main mission." Chloe looked at her in agreement, "My mom . . . She seemed I don't know different?" Chloe said, "Different how?" Red asked in curiosity, "She's more I don't know straight forward towards people? I don't know she's just different to me," Chloe finished
"We should just go to sleep and worry about it tomorrow" Red suggested. As both girls went to sleep, Red couldn't help but think about why her mother was looking at him, could he have something to do with the prank?"
༺༻
Both girls had woken up and went to go find Ella and Bridget, they had to be with them so they can get more information.
As they were walking to their class, The bell rang, they all had to hurry so they wouldn't be late, Ella had a different class, So it was only Bridget, Red and Chloe going to same class, Chloe and Red went ahead to the class and told Bridget they will meet her there.
Amidst the bustling crowd of students, Bridget seemed to be lost in thought, she was still worried about what Uliana would do to her, She then was bumped by someone, which made her trip but she landed on something.
Someone.
It was Hook. She quickly got up and started apologizing, " I am so so sorry I didn't mean to bump into you,I'm in a rush and I just can't be late to class." She spoke with guilt in her voice, she reached out her hand so he can get up. Even as he remained on the ground, he couldn't tear his gaze away from her, his eyes locked on her without him realizing it, The warning bell had rang and she had to go to class, She heard Merlin coming so she had to quickly pick up Hook off the floor and run to class so she wouldn't be late and given detention.
Hook's gaze was still on her, They were still holding hands running to class, he felt as if her hand was an extension of his own, fitting perfectly like a long-lost puzzle piece.
Hook then snapped out of it, and realized that he had to go to a meeting with Uliana, he didn't even realize where they were going, when they finally arrived they were both out of breath, Bridget realized that she was still holding on to his hand.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry I just didn't wanna get late and if I did my mother would have gotten so mad at me and-" Hook had cutten her off before she can continue
"Why did you bring me along?" Hook asked
Bridget looked embarrassed, "Isn't this your class?" Bridget knew it wasn't she just didn't wanna admit that she was wrong.
"No..? I never go to class" he said, "Oh, well you can go, and I'm sorry again, I didn't even realize I was bringing you." She said with an embarrassed tone.
He was about to take off when, The pink fairy held him back, "You finally show up to class." She said, Bridget walked in and found Red and Chloe, Hook was left alone with the Fairy.
"So that's what it took for you to come to class? Bridget bringing you along?" The pink fairy chuckled"Well you better get inside the second bell is about to ring." The pink fairy instructed.

The ballroom had a grand, palace-like feel. Crystal chandeliers hung from a high, decorated ceiling, casting a warm glow across the room. The walls were draped in rich, dark fabrics, and the marble floor gleamed beneath them. Red had noticed that Bridget arrived with someone.
"Ok class, partner up with someone." The pink fairy had announced. Red and Chloe agreed to partner up with each other. Chloe noticed that Bridget didn't have a partner, "Who are you gonna partner up with Bridget?" Chloe asked looking around, "I'm not sure, Fay is usually my partner but she's not here today." Bridget said worried.
She glanced around and noticed that nearly everyone had a partner except for one person.
Hook.
