Descendants BenXMal One Shots

Ranting and Raving

"four Months Ben, four whole flipping months Ben and she still hates me. I get that my mother tried to kill her family but for Lucifer's sake, I am tired of her and Chad's comments, I am tired of her trying to influence the school to hate me. But that's the worst bit Ben, they target me and only me, not Carlos, Jay or Evie." Mal ranted and raved as she paced around Ben's office. Ben was trying his hardest to focus on his purple haired girlfriend's problems but it's hard to resolve something that in his mind doesn't exist.

"Mal, I can promise you that she isn't doing anything. I haven't seen her do anything and neither has Jay, Carlos or Evie. None of the teachers in your class has seen anything." Ben figured it was better to tell her the truth rather than sugar coat it.

"No Ben, she doesn't do anything when you're around me but she singles me out Ben and I hate it. I can't believe my own boyfriend doesn't believe me." Mal was pissed at this point, the one person she thought who would help her has turned their back on her.

"Mal I'm not saying I don't believe you it's just no one has seen or heard anything so I can't exactly pick sides, can I?" Ben's anger was growing, why couldn't she accept that he doesn't want to single out her or Audrey and Chad for something that Mal claims they have done.

"I'm not asking you to pick sides Ben" Mal have given up on acing around his office at this point, so instead she sat on one of the couches in the corner of the room, rubbing her temples in frustration.

"Then what are you asking for Mal?" At this point, they both knew that Ben was on the verge of becoming a beast and Mal was on the verge of becoming a dragon, but this wasn't over.

"I'm asking you to believe me, or look into it. Whatever happened to 'Mal I'll always be there for you' or 'Mal I promise I won't let anyone hurt you' huh Ben? You what, don't answer that, if you won't find the time to believe me then I won't find the time to listen to you" Mal grabbed her jacket off the back off the couch and stormed out of the room, making sure that the door slammed as loud as possible. Ben wanted so badly to retaliate and shout something back but he knew that if he fell into one more fit of rage, he would literally unleash a beast. He slouched down into the office chair, completely regretting everything but there was nothing he could do now.

[The Next Day]

Mal was currently sitting in her art class working on her final piece that she must hand to the teachers within the next few weeks to be assessed and graded. Mal used to really enjoy her art lessons, she 'used to' because recently Audrey was asked by the teacher to change seat and sit next to Mal. It wasn't so bad at first but then the comments started rolling in. First, it was words written on scraps of paper, then it became whispers and taunts. That lasted for a couple of days before it became pokes and kicks underneath the table.

This week Audrey had reverted to the whispering torture technique as Mal liked to call it. Audrey burst through the art room door, designer handbag in hand and her newest phone in the other. She walked over to her and Mal's desk and pulled the chair out as far as possible before taking a seat and scratching the chair against the floor as she inched closer to the table.

"So, rumour has it you and Ben have had a lovers tiff and I'm guessing by the way you avoided him in assembly this morning, you two haven't got back together, correct?" Audrey was looking extremely cocky at this point. "Congratulations Mal, I mean I never thought that you and Ben could last that long. Wow, four months but that's nothing compared to me and Ben, we lasted eight years and I would've been his queen until your little homewrecking ass came along." Audrey spat the words out at Mal as she jabbed her with the tip of her pencil in her arm. Mal hissed at the pain as she retracted her arm and distanced herself as far as possible without falling off her chair. As soon as Mal had settled down, Audrey grabbed the top of her arm tightly and pulled Mal closer to her, causing the table to jolt forward which caught the attention of the teacher. "It's only a matter of time before you go back to plotting world domination again, maybe for once you can make your mother proud," Audrey growled in her ear before shoving Mal back into her original position on the chair. Obliviously to the two girls, their teacher was sat at the front of the class watching Mal and Audrey's every move.
