mismatched (Bridget x Hook)

VII- rethinking

Bridget's POV:
It was the evening of the same day of Hook asking Bridget to castlecoming. Ella was making her way to Bridget's dorm room, she had snuck out of her home disobeying her stepmothers curfew, but she didn't really care Bridget had said it was an emergency.

Ella made it to Bridget's dorm pretty quickly and knocked on her door. "It's open Ella!" She heard Bridget shout from the other side, she sounded scared so Ella quickly entered. To Ella's correct knowledge, Bridget was pacing up and down her room.

"Woah! Woah! Bridget what's wrong?" Ella said, grabbing onto her best friends arm to stop the aggressive walking. "I may have made a stupid mistake." Bridget said, "with hook." Ella sighed, "I tried to warn you Bridget. Many times! I saw this coming, it's okay." Ella pulled Bridget into a hug.

"Huh? What? No!" Bridget quickly got out of the hug. "He didn't ditch you?" Ella whistled, "awkward." She chuckled. "I told you Ella, he's not like that he's a good guy." Bridget crossed her arms and sat on her bed. "Okay... then what's the problem?" Ella asked, sitting next to Bridget.

"I think.. I don't know if I'm overthinking. But I think hook asked me to castlecoming.." Bridget stared straight at Ella. "What? You said no right? We're supposed to go together." Ella seemed upset, I mean Bridget was the one who made that big fuss about Ella possibly going with charming.

"Well I don't know if he asked me. My mind is racing, I didn't want to seem rude that's the thing!" Bridget started to tap her feet. "Bridget you care too much." Ella sighed, "he probably doesn't have any feelings anyway. He's a villain." Ella had let out a scoff halfway through that sentence. "Seriously Ella! You don't see him with me. He's soft and kind. He's not who you see him to be. I don't want to hurt him without realising."

Ella was frustrated with Bridget's kindness. Of course Ella wanted Bridget to be a good person but she hated the fact Bridget tries to give chances to people who relentlessly bully her. She hates seeing Bridget hurt, and hook is the type of person who would hurt her.

"Okay what did you do Bridget?" Ella finally gave in and decided to show sympathy. "He asked me what I was doing for castlecoming and then who I was going with and of course I said you, and then he said if I ever wanted a dance with him he'd always be waiting, and is it weird that I got an odd feeling in my stomach when he said that? I don't know I just felt-" Ella covered her mouth before she could yap on for hours.

Ella just laughed, "can I be honest B?" Ella asked, due to Ella still covering her mouth Bridget just nodded. "It sounds like you got a crush on him to me." Ella shrugged. Bridget pushed her away, "What? No way! I have only properly known him for like 2 days and yeah of course he is nice and funny and good looking he just. Isn't my type." Bridget nodded to solidify her response.

"And what exactly is your type?" Ella counter asked, Bridget had never told her this. Bridget just opened her mouth without releasing any sound. Bridget didn't actually know herself, "well.." Bridget looked down. Ella just laughed, "B you're definitely overthinking whatever is going on. Just.. go with me. And you can dance away with your sudden lover." Ella mocked Bridget's actions with exaggeration.

"He's not my lover." Bridget pouted. Ella nodded, "Mhm, yeah okay. Can I stay here tonight?" Ella asked. Bridget nodded, "of course you can stay whenever. But I was going to bed now so.." Bridget slowly backed away to her bed. Ella agreed, "no yeah me too I'm quite tired." Ella took of her shoes and they both approached Bridget's bed, preparing for the day tomorrow.

Hooks POV
It was next morning, 3 days to castlecoming.
"So have you asked your princess to castelcoming yet?" Hades asked, wrapping his arm around hooks neck. "She's going with Ella, but I still plan to-" Hades cut him off with a hyena like laugh, "you got rejected by Bridget? The pinkie princess Bridget?" Maleficent and Morgie joined in on the laughter.

"If you ask me she's smart to avoid going with this guy." Morgie laughed, "SHE DIDNT REJECT ME!" Hook snapped. "She just promised Ella." Hook tried to save himself, "Oh she promised Ella." Maleficent mocked him.
"So basically, Bridget said she had other plans and you just let her slip away. Uliana won't like her. You're the main source for her plan." Morgie snickered. "Yeah and considering castlecoming is now 3 days away... your clock is ticking.." Maleficent pointed to the clock on the wall.

"Look I know uliana won't like it! But she'll have to live with it, I can't convince Bridget to break her stupid promise with Ella, we all know her. She's all about honesty and kindness." Hook rolled his eyes, "uliana won't like that either, villains never quit dude." Hades patted Hooks shoulder, "exactly." Morgie added on.

Hook stood up, "Fine I'll go find Bridget and try again shall I?" He said, obviously agitated. "Good for you dude. Never give up!" Morgie pounded his chest like a gorilla before pointing at Hook. Hook quickly walked away from them though, they easily angered him. He saw them as annoying simpletons, Hook really only respects people who he believes have deserved it. They are not in those majority, he just views them as acquaintances. Except for Maleficent, he had been friends with her since a young age so he could never show her disrespect.

After about 10 minutes of walking he finally found came across Bridget, unfortunately for him she was with charming and Ella. He didn't care that much though, he only needed to talk to her for a short while. He tapped her on the shoulder, smiling. Charming gave a confused look to Ella, he had never seen Hook smile outside of bullying and tormenting.

"Hi hook! What a nice surprise." Bridget let out a nervous laugh. "How are you today princess?" Hook asked, trying to keep up a polite persona for her. "I'm good! And you?" She smiled, "same." He was also trying to keep it cool, not to seem too eager due to Ella and Charmings presence.

"Why is he here?" Charming whispered to Ella, "Oh Bridget is definitely in love with him." Ella laughed back, "I hate the idea of it." Ella was quickly silenced when Bridget aggressively kicked Ella's shin, which hurt since Bridget wore boot heels. Hook heard that and that gave him boosted confidence, obviously his plan was working.

"I was just wondering if your castlecoming plans had changed?" He leaned on the wall next to them, trying to seem chill. Ella let out a quiet grunt, "well uh.. not really.." Ella pushed infront of Bridget, "okay. Okay. Look at me." Ella pointed at Hook, "Ella-" Bridget tried to stop whatever she was going to say but Ella was persistent, "you need to promise me you are genuinely interested in her. And that this whole thing isn't just done cruel thing your doing against Bridget okay because she is a nice girl and I'm fed up of people like you walking all over her! So if you do really want to take her to castlecoming, you swear it's sincere and a genuine interest." Ella's normally aura was gone.

Hook widened his eyes, "I'm a changed man," he put his hook over his heart, "I feel bad for how I've treated Bridget, and you of course and yes I am interested in taking her to castlecoming." He nodded, "then I give you my blessing." Ella finally agreed walking away, Bridget raised her eyebrow, "oh I didn't realise I needed a blessing from her best friend." Hook sarcastically laughed, "don't push it." Ella pointed at him again. "My bad." Hook bowed down.

"But Ella- who will you go with? We only agreed to go together because we both didn't have dates." Bridget held Ella's hand. Charming raised his hand, "well uh actually, I was interested in taking you Ella- like I've been interested." He let out a nervous chuckle, Ella seemed surprised. "Really?" She asked, looking at him. He nodded smiling, "will you go to castlecoming with me?" He asked. Ella's jaw dropped, "Yes! What oh my God I had no idea-" Ella smiled hugging charming.

Bridget just turned around to look at Hook, "So is this like 2 friends going together? I know Uliana wouldn't like it." Bridget was looking right up into his eyes. Hook shook his head, "it's whatever you want it to be pinkie, I'm not about Ulianas opinion anymore." He put his hook up to his chin before smiling and walking away. Bridget put her hands to stomach, she felt like she was in a dream.
