ON HOLD | Itsy Bitsy Spider VOL 2

05 - Questions

After the royal couple had left, everyone turned to Doug. Ava sent him a small smile, and Doug smiled back before turning to the four villain kids in front of him. "Hi, guys, I'm Dopey's son. As in Dopey, Doc, Bashful, Happy, Grumpy, Sleepy, and. . ." However, Doug trailed off as he caught eyes with Evie. "Heigh - ho." Everyone noticed this, and Evie smirked. She then began to walk forward, a smirk still on her face. "Evie. Evil Queen's daughter." Evie now stood in front of Doug, and Mal stood next to the boy. "Okay, so about your classes. I put in the requirements already: History of Woodsman and Pirates, Safety Rules for the Internet, and Remedial Goodness 101."

"Let me guess," Mal started as she popped a candy into her mouth and dropped the wrapper, "new class?"

"Yeah," said Ava.

"C'mon guys," said Mal as she dropped a candy wrapper, "let's go find our dorms." The four villian kids began to go up a set of stairs when Ava stopped them.

"Hey, guys? Yeah, you're dooms are this way." Ava began to climb up the right set of stairs with the four following her. Once she got to the top, she waited for the others, and as soon as they joined her she decided to take the boys to their dorm first. As they walked, the four looked around the place, and Ava chuckled.

"That was me about three days ago."

"Three days ago?" Evie asked. "Oh, that's right. Ben said you're here for some special circumstances."

"Are the 'special circumstances' us?" Jay asked. Ava simply shook her head no. "Oh, c'mon. You got here three days before us? That can't just be a coincidence," Jay pushed, and Ava got annoyed. Coming to a stop, Ava turned around, faced Jay, and took off her glasses so Jay and the others could see her glare.

"Look, I've been through too much within the past week, all right? And I don't need you four making it even worse. A friend of mine. . . He left me a mission here, and I just want to complete it. Ben trusts me, so don't go running to him after this. You four may have had it bad in the Isle, but have you ever lost four people? Two of them dieing right before your eyes?"

No one said a word.

"Exactly. You might be 'villains,' but trust me, I've dealt with worse. You guys are babies compared to them. Now Jay, hold out your hand."

Jay hesitated, but as soon as Ava began glaring at him, he thrusted his hand out and Ava dropped the key.

"You're room is right there. Don't break anything, don't steal anything. Girls, follow me."

And with that, Ava began to strut away, anger radiating off of her. She put on her glasses and did not wait for Mal and Evie to catch up to her. Yes, she feels bad, but she has to focus on the mission. She can't get any distractions or even let those four get close to her.

Mal and Evie shared a look with Jay and Carlos before running after Ava. As soon as the two had caught up to Ava, she slowed her pace a little. What would've taken ten minutes was now five, due to Ava's speed. She came to a stop at the door and told Mal to put her hand out.

"I should've told the boys this, but don't lose your key. That's your only copy."

"We'll tell them," Mal reassured her. Ava nodded her head at Mal and made to leave, but Evie stopped her.

"Hey, um. . . I know you don't like us, but where can we find you if we have questions? Which dorm is yours?"

Ava looked at the two and sighed. She then motioned them to follow her, and they got to the window at the end of the hallway. "You see Ben's castle?" Both girls nodded. "Walk over to the left, and you should see a path. You should arrive at my place within five minutes. I don't have a dorm."

The three then walked back over to the room and Ava looked at the two. With one final nod, she began to walk away.

"Thank you," Mal called out.

Ava stopped and turned around. "You're welcome. Hey, warning you now, there's a lot of pink in that room. Good luck."

And with that, Ava walked away. Mal and Evie stared after the girl in curiosity. Sharing a look, Mal unlocked the door and the two walked in. As soon as they walked in, they saw that Ava was right. There is a lot of pink. However, as Mal looked around in disgust, she saw how happy Evie got as she looked around their new room.

Ava raced outside of Auradon and quickly got on her motorcycle. She put on her helmet before starting the bike up, and she sped off. Once she had arrived to her house, she just sat on her motorcycle, still outside.

She felt bad for blowing up on Jay, but he kept pushing her for an answer. And Carlos definitely didn't deserve her glare - he had done nothing wrong. Groaning, she turned her motorcycle back on before making her way back over to the dormitory. Once she parked in front of the building, she took off her helmet and wasted no time.

She sprinted through the doors and up the stairs before finally making it to their dorm. She hesitated, but she finally knocked on the door. Within seconds, the door swung open, and the girl was met with Carlos De'Vil.

"Ava?"

"Carlos. Hey. Can I talk to you and Jay?"

The boy nodded and he stepped aside so Ava could walk through. She gave the boy a small smile and he smiled back before closing the door after her. Jay took note of the girl and stood up from the bed he had claimed.

"Hey, um," Ava started off rather awkwardly. "I just. . .wanted to apologize. For blowing up on you earlier. And for glaring at you both. I'm - uh - not good with handling my emotions and, well, took them out on you two." It took a lot for Ava to open up a little to the boys. Even if it was to simply explain herself.

"I'm. . .sorry. . .too. . . For pushing you for an answer," Jay said rather awkwardly as he rubbed the back of his neck. That's when Carlos decided to step in.

"We don't normally do apologies back on the Isle," he told Ava, causing her to nod her head.

She then offered them both a smile.

"It's fine, I get it. Took a lot for me too." The boys chuckled, and things got awkward yet again. "Oh, uh, don't lose your key. That's your only copy." Both boys nodded and Ava mentally cursed herself. "I better get going, so I'll - "

"Oh! Where can we find you? If we have any questions?" Carlos asked, cutting her off.

Ava then motioned for the boys to follow her outside, and they did. They came to a stop at the window that was at the very end. "See Ben's castle? Go to the left, and there should be a trail. Follow it, and you'll be at my place in about five minutes." The two nodded and they all walked back over to the dorm. "I better get going. I need to call my brother soon, or he'll have a panic attack." Ava wished she was joking. Yesterday, she called Peter ten minutes late, only for May to answer, telling her that Peter was having a panic attack. Shaking her head, she offered the boys a small smile before finally leaving with no longer a guilty conscience. The two boys from the Isle watched her walk away, and they both couldn't help but want to get to know her.

"Who do you think she lost? And how did she lose them?" Jay asked Carlos. Carlos let out a sigh.

"I don't know, Jay. But I do know that she doesn't want to talk about it. At all. And we shouldn't push her." Carlos gave Jay a look, and Jay couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Yeah, you're right."

"If we want her to trust us, we need to go at her pace and not push her," Carlos informed his best friend as they walked back into their dorm room.

"Why do we want her to trust us?" Jay asked.

"She mentioned that Ben trusts her. The sooner we get that stupid wand, the sooner we can leave this place."
