Evie's POV:
I don't think I've EVER been this happy! Me, M, Jay, and Carlos have been chosen to attend Auradon Prep!
Of course, our parents want us their to carry out an evil plan. But the only thing I'm really focused on is finding a handsome prince and settling down as soon as possible!

The four of us piled into the large black limo that was discreetly taking us to the magical Auradon prep.

"This place sounds awful. I hope we can just get the wand and get out." Mal says angrily as she looks at her spellbook.

"For real, I can't imagine living with these royal people." Jay says as he and Carlos ravenously eat candy.

"If I see a single dog, I don't know what I'm going to do..." Carlos says nervously.

"I think Auradon will like a taste of evil. But I could be wrong." I say hopefully.

"E, do you hear yourself? This is Auradon, the home of spoiled, entitled princes and obnoxious, prissy pink princesses, obsessed with hair and shoes and whatever else those girls like!" Mal says angrily, sighing. "These people are NOT our friends. Stay on guard, and don't trust a single one of them." She says seriously to the three of us.

"Yeah, you're right about that, Mal. There's no team in I, as my dad says." Jay says. "If a single person finds out about the plan, we'll be on a boat back to the Isle within seconds."

"Woah, what's happening?!" I shriek as the car appears to be going onto the water. A golden bridge magically appears, safely transporting us to Auradon Prep.

"Seriously, could I be ANY more scared right now!?" Carlos says, freaked out from the bridge situation.

"Remember the plan." Mal says.
"Eyes on the prize!" Jay says, smirking.

I pull out my magic mirror to check my lip gloss and blush before the car comes to a stop. The school is a huge, elaborate building, and I've only seen it on the TV or in old books. It's even grander in person!

Jay and Carlos are fighting over something, and I couldn't be more embarrassed. I mean, everyone is staring at us!

"You got everything else, why do you want this!?" Carlos says as he and Jay fight over a blanket.

"Because you want it...!" Jay says.

"Guys! We have an audience!" Mal says sternly.

"Leave it like you found it...! And by that I mean just leave it." A middle-aged brunette woman says. She has a refined updo and wears a pale blue dress with a pink ribbon. Behind her are what appears to be the royal couple, based on how nicely they're dressed.

"Hello, I'm Headmistress Fairy Godmother. Welcome to Auradon prep." Fairy Godmother says happily.

"THE Fairy Godmother? As in, Bibbidi-bobbidi?" Mal says, mimicking the waving of a wand.

"Bibbidi-bobbidi, you know it." FG replies cheerfully.

"You know, I always wondered what it felt like for Cinderella when you just... appeared. With that sparkling wand, warm smile, and that sparkling wand..." Mal says, putting on a fake nice voice and a forced smile.

"Well that was a long time ago dear. And as I always say, don't focus on the past or you'll miss the future!" FG says.

"With that being said, we do have a pretty strict curfew rule. Please be sure to come to class on time, your attendance will be tracked. Ben and Audrey will show you all around. Once again, welcome!" FG says before walking back into the school. The couple steps forward now that she's gone.

~Ben's POV~.

The VKs are finally here. I'm so happy to be giving them a chance to make their own lives, separate from their parents' mistakes. Once Fairy Godmother leaves, me and Audrey step forward.

"It is so good to finally meet you all. I am Ben." I say in my princely way.

"PRINCE Benjamin - soon to be king!" Audrey squeals excitedly at the last part. I wish she didn't make such a big deal about it...

"You had me at prince. My mom's a queen which... makes me a princess." A beautiful, blue-haired girl says, curtsying to me. I've never seen anyone like that in Auradon, maybe in my dreams. Her vibrant blue hair and dark clothes are stunning, and she herself is really, really pretty.

"The evil queen has no royal status here. And neither do you." Audrey says in a matter-of-fact way. The blue haired girl frowns and steps back.

"..This is Audrey..." I say awkwardly after my 'girlfriend' rudely corrects the poor girl.

"PRINCESS Audrey. His girlfriend. Right, Bennyboo?" Audrey holds my hand, she loves to flaunt our relationship in front of others. I'm quite the opposite, actually...

The blue haired girl looks at me with sympathy before looking down, still upset about Audrey's words.

"Nice to meet you. Welcome to Auradon." I shake hands with the son of Jafar, son of Cruella, and daughter of Maleficent. Before I can shake hands with the blue haired girl, Audrey pulls me away.

"Bennyboo, the tour, remember?" Audrey says in an overly sweet tone.

"Oh, um, yes. Auradon prep, founded by my parents 20 years ago..." I begin the spiel as we take them inside of the building.

"So, do you usually use magic here?" Mal asks casually.

"It's mainly frowned upon, but it does exist. We're just ordinary mortals." I say.

"Who happen to be kings and queens." Mal replies, and the blue haired girl perks up after hearing this.

"That's true! Our royal blood goes back hundreds of years~." Audrey croons, forcing my arm around her. I awkwardly look for a way to leave the situation. "So, um, your class schedules are here. Like Fairy Godmother said, please be on time and obey curfews. You will share a dorm in pairs, and we meet for breakfast at 8 am every morning. There is a lot of clubs and activities for you to enjoy as well."

"Sweet. So, which way to the rooms?" Jay asks.

"Go right down the hall and up the right staircase. Your room numbers are right here." I give Jay and Mal their respective keys.

"Let's go, man!" Jay says happily, and Carlos follows him. Mal stays behind to wait for Evie.

"I-I'm Evie... I feel like I didn't get to properly introduce myself." Evie says shyly, blushing and avoiding eye contact with me.

"I feel the same, and I'm sorry about it, Evie. How about we start over?" I say, smiling gently. "I'm Ben. Welcome to Auradon prep, Evie." We shake hands, and I feel electricity go through my body. I've never felt this way about anyone before. Her eyes slightly widen and she blushes more. I wonder if she felt it too?

"It is an honor, Prince..." Evie giggles, blushing.

"Oh right, your dorms are this way. Please keep up!" Audrey says, smiling as Evie and Mal reluctantly follow her.

I barely got to say anything to Evie, but I really felt the sparks fly. I can't wait to see her tomorrow at breakfast.
