So the 'talk' with Audrey didn't go so well, I guess I can say I tried. I decide to go out to the garden and play with the butterflies, that's what good people do right?
When I am walking outside I see Ben walking towards me.

'Ben!', I yell, 'I mean, king.'

'Stop it', he says, laughing and embracing me into a hug.

'So, how you new life on the good side so far?'

'Hard. I tried to make things right with Audrey but she ignored me, I can't insult Carlos and now I have to play with butterflies to look good.'

'Mal! Just because you are good doesn't mean your perfect. Still be yourself, but try to help instead of hurt'

'Oh', I say in realization.

'I gotta go Mal, see you later?'

'Yep', I say smiling.

I head back up to my dorm room and take in what Ben said. I walk pass Carlos and mutter looser. 'I knew nice Mal wouldn't last long', he says. 'I'm good, I never said I was always nice', I say laughing back.

I open my door room door and run and jump on Evie. 'Wake up sleeping beauty.'

'It's too early, Mal go away!'

'It 10:30 Eves, I think you've sleep long enough. Come on, it's our first day on the good side!'
