Once Upon a Time: Ever After High (Book 3)

Ch.14 First day disaster

Now at lunch, Rachel Fox, also known as C.A Cupid, daughter of Eros the God of Love, made her way to the lunch line. But as she got in line, she realized that she was next to Terrence.

"Oh, hey" he said to her with a smile.

"Hey" she smiled back.

The two were very good friends, and they remained friends no matter what. Even since Rachel blurted out her jealousy about him being with Elena and not her, leading up to her kissing him. But during the kiss, Rachel got a vision, a vision of a black figure of a guy staring at her. She broke away from the kiss full of shock, and avoided Terrence and Elena for a bit. But after that Rachel apologized to Terrence and Elena and let them be together, and ever since that she and Terrence remained friends.

"How you been?" he asked her.

"Good" she replied "You?"

"Good".

Rachel then turned around and noticed Andy sitting at a table talking to Bridget.

"Have you noticed the new guy here?" she asked.

"Yeah" Terrence sighed "He's Elena's ex boyfriend".

Rachel's eyes widen.

"Really?" she gasped.

"Yeah, Elena told me that he moved here to be with Bridget cause he met her online".

"Wow" Rachel said with a bored look.

"But he and Elena are completely over it" Terrence added.

"Yeah" Rachel agreed "I mean, you both like each other, there's no way Elena would forget about you".

"Yeah" he also agreed.

Meanwhile, at the table where Andy and Bridget were sitting, Bridget was sharing some of her music to him.

"So you actually made this music?" he asked her.

"Yep" she smiled "I'm a DJ so it's kinda my thing".

"Well these songs are amazing" he commented.

"Thank you".

"Hey uh, is there a place I can get some ketchup?"

"Oh yeah, it's right over there with the forks and spoons".

"Okay thanks".

But as he got up and turned around, he bumped into Rachel sending her tray of food into the air as they fell to the floor with him on top of her as her food fell on top of them.

"Oh my God!" Andy gasped with shock "I am so sorry!"

Rachel was full of shock at what just happened. Andy quickly got off of her and helped her up. They both saw that everyone was looking at them.

"Are you okay?" he asked with a worried look.

"I'm fine" she said as she picked off the food that fell into her hair.

"You sure?"

"Yeah" she assured, but he could tell she was really embarrassed "I just gotta get cleaned up".

She made her way pass Andy and out of the cafeteria avoiding eye contact with everyone. Andy felt really bad for what happened, but he knew it was an accident.

"Andy" Bridget said calmly "I think you should also get cleaned up".

He gave a sigh.

"I guess so" he said as he headed out.

"Yikes" Tara said as she went up to Bridget "First day disaster for him".

"I feel so bad for him and Rachel" Bridget said with a sad look "They must of felt so embarrassed".

"I know" Tara agreed with a sad look "Hey uh, have you seen Dylan?"

"He's over there" Bridget pointed to the table where Dylan was sitting at.

Tara then went over to Dylan with his book of poems that he left behind.

"Hey Dylan" she said with a small smile.

"Oh, hey Tara" he said.

"You left this behind" she handed him his notebook.

"Oh" he said with his eyes widen as he took the notebook "You didn't read it did you?"

"Was I not suppose to?" she asked with a worried look.

"Not really" he said nervously "These are, well, private".

"Oh, I'm sorry".

"It's fine I guess" he sighed.

"But I should tell you, your poems are really amazing"

"Really?"

"Yeah, they're so... unique. They're incredible".

"Wow" he said "Thanks".

"But how come they're private though? How come you never showed anyone?"

Dylan gave a sigh.

"I guess it's because I felt embarrassed about it" he confessed.

"Why?"

"Well" he sighed "Everyone knows I'm pretty dorky and all. And, I'm afraid that if they found out about my poems, I'll be even more dorky".

"Dylan, don't let anyone tell you who you are. You're you, you're an amazing guy who also a great poet".

But he just gave another sigh.

"Thanks" he said "But, can you please not tell anyone about my poems?"

"All right" Tara promised with a small smile "I wont tell anyone".

"Thank you".

And with that Tara left his table and sat next to Bridget.

"So what were you guys talking about?" Bridget asked.

"Oh I just had to return his stuff that he left behind" Tara said, remembering that she promised that he wouldn't tell anyone about his poems.

But she hoped that one day she would show everyone what a great guy Dylan actually is.

After school, Mira stood in front a tree in the front yard of the school with her hand gripping the wand. She examined the wand some more, running her fingers across the smooth wood and designs and over her real name that was carved on the handle. Now that she had her wand back, she was now trying to think of a way to give it to her daughter, and make her use it for evil. She knew she couldn't just walk up to Elena and give it to her, she needed a clever way. All of a sudden she heard some girls talking, she went behind the tree and peeked from behind to see Elena and Olivia walking toward Elena's car.

"So what are you gonna do?" Olivia asked Elena who had an a stressed look.

"I don't know" Elena sighed "But if I don't pass this test I'll just keep failing this class".

"Why don't you get a tutor?"

"I don't know anyone who can help me, I mean, Terrence is struggling with this too".

"Well in the meantime, I'll try to help you".

And with that they went away, and this gave Mira an idea. She'll find out what subject Elena is struggling with, and try to tutor her. And during that she'll also try to give Elena the wand, this is if her plan will work.
