chapter two - the arrival

Auradon Prep always makes a big deal when the VK's arrive, and this year was no different. To be honest, I found it to be pretty cheesy. I was in charge of giving Harry Hook his campus tour. Doug, the other tour guide, would be escorting the smaller kids to their rooms. I knew of their arrival the second the marching band started playing. Students stood scattered around the front lawn and happily cheered their welcomes to the new VK's.

Ben and Mal were the two to welcome everyone, and I could see an uncomfortable energy between them and Harry. They walked over to where Doug and I were standing. I caught Harry's eye, a piercing blue hue that seemed to look straight through me. My breath hitched. He was actually beautiful. It was something I wasn't expecting. I looked down at my feet as they approached us. "I'm gonna hope you're here to actually take advantage of the opportunity." said Mal angrily, rolling her eyes. "Whatever helps you sleep at night." Harry replied.

He had a thick accent, and I suddenly felt extremely overwhelmed.  "Well, this is Vee. She'll give you a tour of the place." muttered Ben with a forced smile. Harry looked me up and down before turning back to Ben. "Can I get my hook back?" Harry asked, crossing his arms. Ben shook his head before smiling in my direction and walking away. Harry turned to face me and smirked. "I know you're probably gonna give me the grand tour. Let's cut it short, lass. Just take me to my room." I gulped and nodded, leading him towards the dorms.

We walked in silence, him looking around and taking everything in. "Are there fun things to do around here?" he asked, seemingly a little annoyed by his surroundings. "Depends on your definition of fun." I shrugged. He caught me admiring the muscles in his arms, and I blushed and immediately looked away. The last thing this guy needed was to know that he was completely captivating me. His ego was already inflated enough as it is. We finally arrived at his door, and I opened it to reveal his room. "We need to uh, pick your class schedule." I stuttered.

We walked in, me watching as he scoped it out before tossing himself onto the bed. "This'll do." he smiled, standing and swinging on the bed post before turning back to me. He walked up to me and took a strand of hair from my shoulder between his fingers. I held my breath as his eyes stared down into my soul. He was so close, I could smell his intoxicating cologne, see every detail of his face. "Thanks for the tour, love. Hope I'll see you around." he winked, before closing the door in my face. I blinked at the door, standing there frozen in shock. "B-but, we didn't pick your classes" I sighed. I had definitely never met anyone like that. I ran into Jay as I was walking back to my dorm.

"Hey there, stranger." he said with a laugh, punching my shoulder playfully. "Hey. I just escorted Harry to his dorm." I said. He frowned, shaking his head. "That guy is bad news. He's here for a reason, and it's not for school." he muttered. "You know, some people may have said the same thing about you last year." I noted, making him roll his eyes. "I lived with this guy on the island. He's never been anything but trouble." he warned, stopping at the door to his room. "I guess you're right." I shrugged, waving and heading to my room.

Little did they know...lot's of people thought I was trouble, too.
