What If? A Bevie (Ben x Evie) Story

Chapter 3: Chemistry Class

~Evie's POV~

My outfit for today is totally cute. I'm wearing a denim dress with black tights and boots, gold earrings, and a mini gold tiara. I made everything myself, either back home or since I've arrived in Auradon.

After yesterday's embarrassing breakfast, I avoided the prince for the rest of the day. That night, we tried to steal the wand and it ultimately backfired. So now we were going to attend our first real day of classes at Auradon Prep.

I walk into the chemistry class, looking around to make sure I have the right room. "Um, Mr. Delay?" I say shyly.

"Ah, the new student... please take a seat. Your lab partner will be Prince Benjamin." The teacher says in a casual manner.

"Oh, okay, thank you sir... w-wait, WHAT?!" I exclaim, slightly louder than I would've liked.

"Is that a problem with you, Evie?" Prince Ben says, smiling at me. Gosh he's so handsome, beautiful, and perfect...

"O-Of course not! I just expected you to be partnered with Audrey." I say meekly.

"Audrey isn't in this class with me. Besides, we really don't get a lot of chances to talk, do we?" Ben says sympathetically.

"But I'm... you're..." I stammer. The PRINCE chose me as his lab partner?!

"There is a problem, though..." I say, frowning.

"Oh, really? what's that, Evie?" Ben says.

"I'm... not smart. You'll have to pull the weight for our group assignments." I smile shyly, blushing. "If it involves cooking, cleaning, or decorating, I'll be very useful, though."

"Really? Evie, from what I've seen, you're very smart. I wouldn't have a single idea on how to use a sewing machine." Ben says.

"Oh, any girl can sew. It's not hard, really! It basically requires zero brain power." I say, smiling brightly and blushing.

"Uh, okay. Come on, you should start working on the assignment, it's individual work." Ben says, wanting me to at least try.

I do the opposite, though. I take out my magic mirror and re-apply my red lipstick. If I'm going to get him to like me, there's no point in showing that I secretly like science.

I look over at the other tables briefly, glancing at the other pairs of lab partners. I see that Doug, Dopey's son, is paired with Chad Charming. Doug is sweet, but definitely not my type. I'm at least happy that he was nice to me and my friends.

Chad on the other hand, is handsome. Not quite as dashing as Prince Ben, but still attractive. If I somehow manage to impress Chad, I'm sure my mom would be proud!

"Evie. Perhaps this is just review for you. What is the atomic weight of silver?" Mr Delay asks suddenly, taking me out of my trance.

"U-Um, well, not very much, I mean it's an atom, right?" I say, trying my best to act ditzy. Chad Charming laughs at my joke, and that makes me a little bit happy.

Mr. Delay gestures for me to come up to the board. I glance nervously at Ben for a second before sneaking my magic mirror in my hand and walking up to the board.
