"Jeez I hadn't notice." Maleficent said in a sarcastic manner while looking at her nail polishes nails but the corner of her eyes caught the glare of James, clearly not in mood for her taunting and mocking.
James was still stunned from himself that his cold, venomous heart start to feel this fluffy love feeling - it made him feel sick than anything else in general or that's what his mind forced to think. Him to be in love? That was the most ridiculous thought crossing his or someone else's mind.
"This is serious, Mal! I'm getting feelings for her which is not good! What if Uli finds out, I'm screwed up?!" James said in a panicked and annoyed tone which brought the annoyed groan of Mal's lips and her voice filling the dormitory while her eyebrows furrowed again.
"She won't find out as long as you keep your emotions locked and do the plan. She doesn't want any screw ups because you know what happens when someone crosses or screw up Uliana." Her voice held its warning for who James is already fond of - Uliana shouldn't find out about his sudden feelings for Bridget Heard or his fate will be way more worse than Bridget's.
A groan escaped from James's lips. In what he got himself into? Now he start to feel real feelings for the enemy was she even an enemy? It was just dumb cupcake bullshit, Uliana should've calmed her goddamn nerves and don't cross these lines of revenge.
Mal glanced at her troubled friend and sighed while getting up slowly from her own mattress and taking a seat next to him, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Look I won't just give you to the sharp teeth of Uliana but you better find solution because sooner or later the things will escalate and you'll face more worse than a slap on your wrist."
Her words weren't that much reassuring but her loyalty for their friendship seemed to ease up James's nerves yet he didn't utter a word and let Mal to fade in the background after she got up and left their dormitory - his body had that storm of conflict, emotions and mostly Bridget was there and for sure she won't leave anytime soon.
As for Bridget she was in her dormitory to take care of herself. She felt guilty for lying her own best friend, but how she could tell to Ella about her secret meeting with Hook and his visit from the previous night? It would change everything between her and Ella.
A sigh escaped from her lips, why everything seemed complicated lately? It's like the fate is laughing at her and making it worse yet her mind being occupied with James Hook only, totally forgetting the upcoming castlecoming after ten weeks.
She quickly snapped out of her trance when she glanced at her heart shaped watch on the desk and quickly walked out of her dormitory towards her chemistry class.
During the class she was sitting alone since both her and Ella got separated for causing unwanted noises during the lecture. Bridget tried to focus, to try clear her mind from him but how could she? He occupied her whole mind and made her heavily distracted that the professor's words fell on deaf ears.
The class seemed to pass very slowly, Bridget shifted in an awkward manner on her stool while making the potion who they were discussing in this lecture - her mind seemed more troubled and those emotions she felt...she couldn't focus on anything but on the scene with the lake.
Her mind snapped out of her trance when she heard Ella's voice to call for her attention. The class had already ended and Bridget was still stirring in the golden pot with failed potion until Ella came in her rescue.
"Girl, what is wrong with you? You don't seem focused enough! It's your first time to not pay attention." Ella said first with a scolding manner and suspicion in her voice, obviously sensing the small changes in Bridget's behaviour today.
The pink haired woman laughed awkwardly and rubbed the crook of her neck in slow manner, the words seemed stuck in her throat but she finally managed to utter a few things while walking out of the lecture room alongside with Ella who didn't take her eyes off her best friend.
"I just didn't get enough sleep...it's nothing serious." Ella huffed at Bridget's pathetic answer but decided to keep her tongue under her teeth, her friend is behaving very weirdly and Ella is determined to discover what the hell is happening with Bridget Hearts.
Bridget still moved down the large hallway with slow steps while Ella spoke about her two stepsisters and how awful they were today yet again Bridget was in another universe, another world and Ella seemed to fade when her brown eyes met the familiar dark ones.
The world stopped again. Her breath hitched in her throat while her eyes remained glued on the passing by figure with Uliana's gang, his eyes meeting hers - the world indeed stopped for them even it slowed down, the magnetic pull got visible again even with simple glance who quickly stopped when he walked past her with the gang and Ella quickly pulled Bridget for the shoulder.
"What the hell was that?!" Ella asked with stunned and angered expression which made Bridget to gulp down nervously and stroke one curly strand of hers while letting her eyes darting around the campus but not meeting Ella's ones.
"Oh um he was just passing by and I got distracted." "Distracted?! You were staring at him more longer than usual!" Ella can be annoying sometimes with her overprotective demeanor which made Bridget to sigh and shake her head even to move further while Ella stood in disbelief and followed after Bridget.
"Look El...it was just a simple glance nothing else, James and I are keeping our distance. He's with Uli, I'm with you and besides I have standards."
Bridget felt a bitter taste when she uttered those words. Her loyalty about her standards for a prince fell downhill after her secret met with James - her heart slowly felt the emotion of desire to spend time with him again, to develop this 'friendship' of theirs, to know him better.
But of course she knew it depended on his mood and if he still considered her as a friend of his, honestly the situation between both of them is more complicated than a maths issue.
As for James, Uliana smirked slightly alongside with Morgie when they walked past the two princesses and whispered towards James with their cruel smiles "The plan is going well, isn't it?"
James scoffed clearly obvious that he didn't want to discuss this dumb plan who he was forced to follow but he couldn't ignore the nagging feeling when his eyes met her beautiful brown ones - it made his own world to stop and to want stare at her for hours.
"Ugh yes yes it works...just give me some time and this doll will be swoon by my charms."
James muttered in irritated tone and shoved his hand in the red coat's pocket and moved a bit quicker. He felt tempted to not make the plan, to let his feelings take the lead but his loyalty stood for Uliana and the gang, nothing could ever change that.
Or that's what his mind thought.
