Was it love?

Chapter 9

Mal's Pov

What was I doing? First of all I was giving my arch enemy a way into my life. Second I was letting Ben go after everything he put me through. And finally I was returning to Auradon! WTF Mal! What are you thinking! Well currently I'm not really sure. 

Mal's thoughts wizzed through her brain as she, Harry, Evie, Carlos and Ben were squeezed in the back of the limo with Jay and Lonnie in the front. There had been complete silence for the last five minutes as they were headed back to Auradon to make the arrangements so that the other Vk's could come over to the mainland. 

"Well this is awkward." Dude was the first to break the spell of silence that had befallen them all. And yes Mal completely agreed  with the dog as Evie looked determinedly out the window, Carlos was stroking Dude while looking of into the distance and Ben wedged uncomfortablely in between them looking sullenly at th floor. Not to mention Harry with Mal practically sitting on his lap making goo goo eyes at each other as they flirted quietly in the back.

"Ok this has gone far enough. We need to sort out how we face the public and the press with Mal and Ben's sudden breakup and Mal's new lover that she got on the Isle." Carlos said pointedly after a few more moments of silence since the dog had spoken. "He's right. We really do need to sort this out." Harry said sighing and Ben shot him a death glare. "Ok well first we need a believeable story about Mal and Ben." Evie said. Ben groaned "What are we supposed to tell them? Hey you no longer have a lady of the court cuz she dumped him for a Isle pirate?" Ben said sarcastically. "Excuse me if I'm from the Isle." Harry bit back. "Boys. We are trying to sort the situation out and it doesn't help that you two are arguing." Mal piped up as the two started to bicker. 

"Fiiiinnnneeeee." Harry winned as Ben continued to glare at Harry. "Well I for one don't see a problem with telling the kingdom the truth. After all when did that ever go wrong?" Ben said sullenly. "What about the time when Sebastian told king Triton about the statue? Or when Aurora told the fairies that she had meet a stranger? All those times they ended up with something awful happening." Mal argued back. "I didn't know you payed attention to the teachers? When did that happen?" Evie teased. Mal glared as Carlos and Harry laughed and Ben looked offended. 

"What time is it anyway?" Carlos said yawning. "Some ungodly hour no bet." Mal complained as she to tried not to yawn. "Well it seems like one or two in the morning. So like definitely past the midnight and the final gong."

"Indeed it is Mr de vil. Perhaps you should explain why you are out at this time? Or maybe your new friend you seem to have brought along?" The car door opened and the five teenagers looked up in horror at the figure standing in front of them wand clasped in her hand.

"Fairy godmother!"
