Rotten To The Core

Jay's POV

As always, me and my friends are walking around the Isle, stealing and messing around.

"I'm going spray painting." Mal takes out spray painting cans. "I have to finish my masterpiece." Me, Evie and Carlos run off for a few minutes.

"I'm going to go steal stuff for my dad." I smirk.

"I'll put my good looks to some use." Evie winks at us boys.

"And I've got people's lives to ruin." Carlos chuckles. We run off into different directions. In the distance, I hear Mal sing as I climb up a wall.

"They say I'm trouble, they say I'm bad." She jumps from her spot at to the ground. "They say I'm evil, and that makes me glad." I see Mal bumps a boy's shoulder before running off.

"A dirty no good down to the bone." I climb down a ladder. "Your worst nightmare. Can't take me home." I slide open a door, much to surprise of the woman behind it as I walk away.

"So I got some mischief in my blood." Evie walks on a table causing people to move their stuff and shout at her. "Can you blame me? I never got no love." Evie climbs through a railing, catching the eye of a man. I chuckle and practise my climbing skills.

"They think I'm callous, a lowlife hood. I feel so useless-" I look over my shoulder from my position on a wall to see Carlos snatching a girls apple. I'm so proud of the little nerd.

"Misunderstood!" We all shout as I walk along a roof.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall." I walk along a think metal pipe as Mal and Evie sing. "Who's the baddest of them all?" I do a back flip off the railing. "Welcome to my wicked world." I slid down a roof. "Wicked world." I meet up with my friends at a fence.

"I'm rotten to the core, core, rotten to the core." We slide open the gate. Mal climbs up some boxes with me right behind her. "I'm rotten to the core, core. Who could ask for more?" I kick a guy holding a pillow to his chest. "I'm nothing like a kid next, like the kid next door." I follow Mal under a table. I'm rotten to the-"

"Core." Mal and Evie destroy some laundry.

"I'm rotten to the-" Mal and Evie carry on with the note.

"I'm rotten to the-" Me and Carlos grab some metal pipes.

"Core." Mal and Evie join us and we all bang the metal pipes on some upside down buckets before yelling a hooting down a tunnel while banging our metal pipes on the wall with me in the lead. Once we reach the end, we throw the sticks over our shoulders and we run off into different directions.

"Call me a schemer, call me a freak. How can you say that? I'm just...unique." I see Mal spray painting an M on a curtain before pulling it back to reveal a man in a bathtub.

"What, me a traitor? Ain't got your back?" I parkour my way to a couple sitting at a table. "Are we not friends?" I grab their tea pot. They hold up their cups. "What's up with that?" I climb over the table and I walk away with the pot.

"So I'm a misfit, so I'm a flirt. I broke your heart? I made you hurt?" I hear Evie walk out from a curtain while looking at a man. I turn her around and we run off. "I'm wearing heels, Jay!"

"Don't care!" I shout to her.

"The past is past. Forgive, forget." Carlos kicks over a wooden bucket of apples. "The truth is-" He throws a wooden bucket onto someone's head.

"You ain't seen nothing yet!" We all shout as Carlos joins me and Evie and Evie walks up to Mal on a bridge thing.

Mal and Evie look down on me and Carlos. "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the baddest of them all?" I climb up some boxes. "Welcome to my wicked world." I grab a metal thing and Carlos uses the rope to pull me across the room. "Wicked world." I drop down.

"Come on!" Carlos shouts. We run to the streets. People run away in fright while others join us four for a little dance. Carlos laughs. We start to do a dance that I would describe as animalistic. "Yeah!"

"Ooh." Mal blows a piece of her purple hair out of her face. Evie laughs loudly.

"Yeah!" Carlos has really matured since we first met him. This was a few days ago.

Us four start leading the dance. "I'm rotten to the core, core, rotten to the core. I'm rotten to the core, core. Who could ask for more? I'm nothing like a kid next, like the kid next door. I'm rotten to the-"

"Core." Mal and Evie do sound great together.

"I'm rotten to the-" We probably look pretty awesome right now. Just saying.

"I'm rotten to the-"

"Core." We all laugh. Mal steals a baby's lollipop and she holds it high into the air. We laugh like the villains we are at her joke. People run away so I look around us to see who's left. No one. Mal drops her arm and turns around. Knuckleheads. Great.

"Hi, mom." Mal breathes out.

Maleficent appears from behind the Knucklehead. "Stealing candy, Mal? I'm so disappointed."

"It was from a baby." Mal holds the lollipop out in front of her.

"That's my nasty little girl." Maleficent takes it, spits on it and puts it under her armpit before giving it to one of the guards. "Give it back to the dreadful creature."

"Mom-" Mal whines.

"It's the deets, Mal, that make the difference between mean and truly evil." Maleficent waves at the woman with the baby that had its lollipop stolen by Mal. "When I was your age, I was cursing entire kingdoms." Mal mouths the last three words with Maleficent. "You. Walk with me." Mal takes Mal aside. I walk up to Evie and Carlos as we listen to their conversation. "See, I'm just, just trying to teach you the thing that really counts...how to be me."

"I know that. And I'll do better." Mail tells her. I see Evie giving me and Carlos a worried look.

"Oh, there's news! I buried the lede." As Maleficent and Mail walk over to us, three Knuckleheads stand behind me, Evie and Carlos. "You four have been chosen to go to a different school...in Auradon." We try to run away, but the Knuckleheads stop us. I try to push past one of them but he grabs my arms and turns me around. Mal holds her arms out so we stop fighting.

"What?" Map shouts. "I'm not going to some boarding school filled to the brim with prissy pink princesses!"

"And perfect princes." Evie gushes. Mal gives her a disgusted look. "Ugh."

"Yeah, and I don't do uniforms. Unless It's leather. You feel me?" I hold my hand up for a high-five from Carlos. He ignores it and walks forward.

"I read somewhere that they allow dogs in Auradon. Mom said they're rabid pack animals who eat boys who don't behave." I get an idea as he says this so I sneak up behind him and I woof in his ear.

"Woof." I laugh. Carlos smacks me for scaring him.

"Yeah, mom we're not going." Mal tells Maleficent.

"Oh, you're thinking small, pumpkin. It's all about world domination. KNUCKLEHEADS!" Maleficent walks off and the Knuckleheads follow her. "Mal!" She shouts in a singsong voice. We catch up to Maleficent.
