Cat Got Your Tongue?

1.5-Lizards and Fireworks

I sat outside on a picnic bench with the others gloomily sitting next and across from me. I didn't get it, they wanted to be seen as bad, didn't they? Unless, maybe they're secretly good! Mm, plot twist indeed.

I nearly jumped out of my skin when Ben started talking. I looked over and, above Mal, Ben was there. He asked how everyone was and promised he'd fix things before he trudged off. Then another love sick puppy came over, it was Doug, apologizing just as Ben had. But instead of leaving on his own accord, Chad (the annoying self-centred jerk), called him over like he was a dog.

Audrey then passed, whispering a little louder than she should've, "how long does she think that's gonna last? Mal is just the bad girl infatuation." I scrunched my nose, not just at her words but also at her overuse of perfume.

"Yeah. I mean, he's never gonna made a villain a queen," Jane, who I thought was a good person, snickered. The two stalked off, joining their group of 'friends'.

"Beware for swear, undo Jane's hair," Mal rolled her eyes, flicking her finger back and forth. Girls' scream could be heard, then some taunting laughter. Mal stood up suddenly and grabbed their attention, "there's a lot more where that came from."

"Excuse me?" Audrey asked in her annoyingly high voice. "Who do you think you are?" Is she REALLY asking Mal that?

"Do I look like I'm kidding?" Mal seethed and flipped open her spell book. I stood up as she scared them off. "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Let's grab that wand and blow this popsicle stand."

"And save my mom and his sister!" I added. They keep forgetting they are the only reason we're even here with them in the first place. That and they kinda grew on me, underneath all the chaos they cause, they're good people. I can tell they don't actually want to do this, something's making them motivated to get the wand. Family problems maybe? Maybe to prove that they are the worst? Whatever the reasons, it doesn't matter, because we're doing this.

With Beasty's coronation a few hours away, us females were doing everything we could to look perfect-even if we were stealing Fairy Godmother's wand. Mal's dress was a light purple that cascaded in layers down her body, collecting at the floor. Evie did her makeup while I did her hair in an up-do that rested on top of her head.

Evie's dress was a dark blue that was down to her knees in the front and down to her calves in the back, it was also layered. She had a red heart necklace, a heart purse and not to forget the tiara that rested on top of her head.

Me, however, mine was a simple purple twirly dress that came down to my knees. It had an exaggerated black collar at the top, the neckline was also black, as was the middle of my skirt. I wore black see through stockings and matching shoes. I left my ears uncovered. Evie did both my makeup (doing it in a feline fashion) and my hair (taking the hair from beside my face and tiring it behind my back, holding it in place with a moon emblem).
