Are we just friends?

Chapter 1

Morgie's POV

I kept waiting for the others to leave Merlin's office. After another 5 minutes passed I went inside to check if everything was ok. I just got to the door when Merlin was walking out.

"Ah Morgie your friends are a bit preoccupied at the moment but they should be back to normal in 10 or so minutes" he said.

"Be grateful you weren't with them otherwise you'd have detention too" he added.

"But I was look out, I was part of the plan" I replied.

"Well you weren't the one who tried to steal something from my office so you're not in trouble" he said before walking away.

I just stood there a bit shocked. I looked through the window and saw 4 figures standing perfectly still. Freezing spell I thought. I debated going inside the room. I wasn't sure if being in the room while they were frozen would make them furious with me. What if they thought I was just making fun of them? It seemed like the best option was to stay where I was and wait. I started thinking about how all this happened just because of Uliana's obsession with revenge.

I didn't quite understand Uliana's hatred for Bridget. I mean sure she was humiliated in front of the school with the whole flamingo incident, that part was understandable. But it's not like Bridget did it on purpose, she didn't orchestrate all of that to happen. Regardless I knew Uliana was never going to give up. And I needed to prove myself to her especially after not getting detention like the rest of them. I needed to think of something. I didn't notice that 10 minutes had passed but I heard voices from inside the office. They all walked out, talking about what had happened.

"I told you we should've just used the thorns on her" Maleficent said to Uliana.

"Oh please my plan was perfect this was just a setback" she replied.

"Ah nice of you to finally arrive Morgie" Uliana said now noticing I was there.

"You put me on lookout duty, I just came in because I was wondering what was taking so long" I replied.

"Were you able to get the book?" I asked.

"Does it look like any of us are holding a book?" she replied irritated.

"Fair enough" I said looking down.

"Two girls showed up before us and took it" Hades explained.

"We managed to get it back but when we opened the book we were frozen" Maleficent said.

I nodded as I processed what they were saying.

"What happened to your shoes?" I asked noticing Hook's lack of boots.

"That red headed girl took them from me, after pushing me to the ground" he replied irritated.

"And then gave them to her little blue haired girlfriend" he said annoyed.

"Hey, don't be homophobic" Maleficent said.

"Obviously I don't have a problem with their relationship" he replied gesturing to himself.

"I'm just mad she took my shoes and made me fall" he said.

"Are you guys talking about Red and Chloe?" I asked.

They all looked at me a bit surprised.

"How do you know their names?" Maleficent asked.

"I heard someone say their names at the courtyard" I replied.

They all seemed to accept that answer and moved on.

"Well we don't know that they were in a relationship" Hades said.

"Did you not see Red's reaction when I asked Chloe to fight?" Hook asked.

He hummed in agreement.

"That's on you and your flirty personality" Maleficent said.

"It doesn't mean she had to take my boots" he replied.

I chuckled softly, of course Hook of all people was going to care so much about shoes. He spent most of his time making sure he always looked his absolute best. I recited a small incantation. My normal eyes changed to my snake eyes and there was a green sparkly light coming from my fingertips. A few seconds later Hook was wearing black boots similar to the ones he lost.

"Thanks Morgie" he said looking at his new boots.

"No problem" I replied.

"Come on let's get out of here already" Uliana said.

We left the room and walked back to the Black Lagoon. When we got there Uliana started complaining about how the sorcerer's cook book was stolen from them. She kept ranting for another 20 minutes while pacing back and forth.

"Ok it might take a while to try to get the sorcerer's cook book again" she said.

"He'll most likely put it somewhere else after he caught us" she added.

"Uli did you somehow forget that opening the damn thing is what made us be frozen in the first place?" Hook asked.

"Shut up, my plan is going to work just needs a bit of tweaking is all" she replied.

He rolled his eyes. Maleficent and Hades were talking amongst themselves.

"Something you wanna share with the class you two?" she asked looking at them.

"Why don't we try to think of another plan in the meantime?" Maleficent suggested.

"Yeah like you said we have to wait anyway" Hades added.

"Fine you might make a good point" Uliana replied.

"Any ideas?" she asked.

"We can still burn her to a crisp" Hades suggested.

"Ooo yeah let's do that, love that plan" I replied.

"How is she supposed to be humiliated if she's burned alive?" she asked.

"There's always the thorns" Maleficent said.

"Or making her walk the plank" Hook added.

"Again how is she supposed to be humiliated?" she asked.

"We'll be laughing" I replied.

She just glared at me. I looked down at my hands, quickly mumbling "never mind".

"I'm surrounded by idiots" she mumbled to herself.

"How about we continue thinking about this tomorrow? It's almost 2 am and we could all use some sleep" Maleficent said.

"Fine, maybe then you all could actually give me some good ideas" she replied.

We left the Black Lagoon, reaching the academy 10 minutes later. We all said good night before going to our individual dorms. I got ready for bed and went to sleep.
