Rosabella beauty has been at Ever After for almost a month now, she's made friends with nearly everyone at Ever After. Even Duchess Swan who is clearly against anyone at the school. Darling is now one of Rosabella's bestest friends ever after.

But there was one problem, Apple's reputation was going down hill. It seems the beauty has become the new fairest of them all. Her personality and seeing the good in people really paid off but Rosabella didn't even realise what a phenomenon she was becoming at the school.

I guess you could say she was Apple's replacement.

Apple's Point of View;

Replacement. No. It can't be! I'm the fairest of them all! The future queen of Ever After and all she does is help beasts and people who think they are pretty because she says that when they clearly aren't. She saves ugly beasts who are upset because everyone tells them the truth. She just tries to sugar coat life!

I snapped out my thoughts as I needed to focus on this royally important hexam. I stare at the clock, 45 minutes left. I just read the next question:

14. If a damsel is in distress, who do you wait for?

□ Prince Charming
□ Beast
□ Knight

Dammit trick questions! I'm pretty sure I studied for this, was this last weeks thronework? Never mind it's obviously Prince Charming, I just tick the box but I'm still worrying. I need to get straight A's this term because last time I had full A's but one B+ in this class and mother wasn't pleased so I need to get an A or else I'll probably have to kiss goodbye to my place on the throne.

Rosabella smiled as she handed three apples to the little goats and they hugged her ankles, leaving to their table and Rosabella smiled knowing she made them happy.

She walked over to Darling, Cerise, Raven and Briar. "Hey Rosy" Darling greeted as she took a seat next to her cousin.

"Hey" she smiled.

"Anyways! I'm planning a party! Hopefully soon though because with all this thronework it's getting tiring and I need a break." Briar clapped as she huffed the last part.

"Tell me about it" Raven agreed as she ate a french fry.

"Oh god, look who it is" Cerise growled as she picked up her steak.

They all faced Apple hooking arms with Daring who was flashing his famous smile at all the girls which made them swoon.

"Ugh why is Daring such a flirt, it makes me sick" Raven gagged.

"My brother isn't that bad" Darling smiled.

"It's Apple who is the problem never mind Daring" Cerise huffed.

Daring's Point Of View;

I swear my mouth aches from all that smiling and my fingers ache from all the finger gun pointing. Seriously why did I start this 'trend' on the first year, I look like a fairy fail.

Apple kept tugging on my arm but what I noticed is barely anyone paid much attention to her like they used to and I don't blame them. Ever since the second year she just became a stereotypical mean girl, ruining lives and faking friendships. Apple was nice but now I don't even know who she is, why do people think she's fit to be queen.

"Daring?" She smiled but clearly was annoyed, clearly not wanting anyone to know that of course.

"Yes princess" I smile, she makes me call her that nickname. It's cute but I'd rather say that to the girl I really love thanks.

"You were spacing out" she pouted, thinking I was daydreaming about a girl which for some unfortunate reason I wasn't.

"Sorry I'm just tired from bookball practice" I lied but luckily she believed me.

"Well you best win the next game" she raised her eyebrow and pointed her finger sternly and I nodded. Since when did she become coach gingerbread man?

"There's a seat next to Ashlynn and the others so come on" She practically almost dragged me over there. I seriously hate this woman but unfortunately I have to live a lie for the rest of my life.

I took a seat next to Apple and we sat across from Ashlynn and Blondie. I couldn't help but noticed that girl I bumped into earlier sat next to Darling, talking and smiling with her dimples. She looked, cute.

"Daring?" Apple nudged me and I looked at her, "something wrong?".

"I'm just wondering why Briar is over there and not here like she usually is" I said that as if I was almost questioning it.

"Hm. Yeah why the hex is she sat next on the same table as that klutzy Rosabella" Apple frowned and became distracted.

Bingo!

|~|~|---|~|~|

Rosabella began eating her pasta salad but notice Daring looking at her. She smiled back at him.

Crap. She noticed, Daring cursed to himself but smiled back.

The bell rang and it was time to go to class. Everyone left the castleteria and headed to their classes.

"What do you have?" Cerise asked and Rose pulled out her timetable.

"Crownculus" She smiled.

"Same, lets go" Cerise held her hand to make sure the crowd doesn't swallow her up.

Walking up the stairs was the tricky job, Rose was pushed by a bunch of students running and shoving to get in front making her let go of Cerise's hand. She fell back and luckily Daring caught her, "You okay?".

She turned to face him and she realised who it was, "Yes, sorry about that" She smiled and he held her hand. "Let's get to class, what lesson you need?".

"Crownculus" She smiled.

"Same, let's go before we get trampled on" he laughed and she giggled whilst nodding.

After a long two minutes of everyone invading each other's personal space, they made it to their lesson. Rosabella sat in the desk next to Cerise and Daring sat at the back next to Hunter.

The late bell rang and Chase Redford came in a few seconds later. "Late again Mr. Redford" Madam Yaga said sternly.

"Sorry?" He said in slight attitude.

"Just take a seat, we'll discuss punishment later" She scolded and he sat next to Daring.
