~Ben's POV~
Today I was going to help tutor Evie in math and science. It would be a chance for us to have proper alone time with no distractions.

I reserved my mom's library in the school for the two of us, and I was currently waiting for her to arrive.

"Am I late?" Evie says, smiling softly after walking into the room. She wears a blue crop top and a black skirt. Her legs are beautiful, to say the least. No girls in Auradon dress like she does.

"No, you're right on time. Please, take a seat, Evie." I say happily, blushing before looking away from her.

"So this is your mom's library? It's extravagant. Fit for a princess!" Evie says happily, her eyes twinkling with delight.

"Her library at home is even bigger. But yes, she wanted to give the students of Auradon prep a really nice library for studying and learning." I say. "Uh, so, I went ahead and got some practice problems from Mr. Delay for us to try. Are you ready?"

"Yes, teacher." Evie says in a slightly flirtatious way. "I mean, Ben." She giggles shyly, blushing.

"Okay, so we'll start with algebra. The first equation is..."

(An hour or so later)

~Evie's POV~

"Wow, you're such a good teacher, Ben. I got the last equation all by myself!" I smile brightly. "So you're cute and smart." I say before my eyes widen slightly. "I-I mean, well, in a general sense. Not to be weird..."

"N-No, of course not, Evie... you're pretty... pretty nice, I mean." Ben says shyly, smiling at me.

"Thank you, Ben..." I say, almost thinking he was going to call me pretty for real.

"Can I ask you something?" I say.

"Of course, Evie." Ben says.

"How many rooms in your castle?" I ask with pure delight.

"Uh, well, there's definitely a lot. But it's not intimidating once you get used to it. And we need a large castle, since our family often hosts royal banquets and events." Ben explains.

"Wow, that's amazing...! And to think, you're about to become king." I say sweetly.

~Audrey's POV~

I knew something was wrong when I couldn't find Ben that afternoon. And I had a bad feeling that a certain blue-haired witch was behind it. So I took Chad with me to search for them.

"Okay, we checked the courtyard, tourney field, cafeteria, gym, classrooms... we need to check the library next." I say to Chad.

"Can't we be done with this? Also, I don't WANT to go to the library." Chad groans, as boorish as ever.

"Shut up, stupid! It's important to me. Come on!" I say angrily before forcing Chad to come to the library with me. And my instinct was right; there they were.

"Audrey, they're--" Chad starts but I signal for him to stop talking. I take my cell phone out and start recording Ben and Evie.

"You know, I've always dreamed of being here, with a prince. Auradon isn't so bad after all." Evie says happily.

"I'm so glad to hear you say that, Evie. I haven't felt this way about a girl, ever." Ben says. I feel furious right now! She's probably poisoned him or something.

"Me neither, and I promise I'm not trying to make things complicated for you. But I like you... a LOT lot." Evie says, giggling slightly and blushing. Her and Ben start holding hands.

"I need to talk to my parents about breaking things off with Audrey. Until then, please wait for me, Evie." Ben says before kissing the top of her hand.

"O-Of course! I'll wait as long as it takes, Ben!" Evie says happily, blushing more.

The two lean in for a kiss, and in that moment Chad loudly knocks some books over. For once I was grateful for him being such an idiot. "Come on. Hurry!" I whisper, and me and Chad narrowly escape. I was relieved that the loud noise prevented that hussy from kissing my boyfriend.

Later that day, I brought the footage to the tech guy at school, and convinced him to edit the audio.

"It's important! Do you want Auradon to be safe, or would you rather have a Villain as your queen?" I say angrily, hating the fact that those words even came out of my mouth.

"N-No, I don't... Just give me a few minutes to compile the sound..." The meek boy says. I smirk to Chad, very pleased with my success here.

"Auradon is bad... I've always wanted to be with a prince. I'll wait as long as it takes to be your queen."

The audio plays back, and the tech guy was even able to edit Evie's voice so she sounds sinister rather than sweet. The general public will certainly assume that Evie cursed Ben and is trying to take over Auradon.

"So that's..." Chad gulps after seeing the hard drive with the audio.

"Our victory, Chad. Good thing I'm also in with the morning announcement team. Auradon will love to hear this tomorrow..." I smile, thrilled to know that Evie is going down, for good.
