Jay's Secret

Chapter 7

Zara's Pov:

I slowly sit up in my bed, still thinking of last night and what I saw. Should I tell someone, or should I give them the benefit of the doubt? I mean they didn't have anything magical on the island so maybe they were just curious, right? Well if that was true how was Mal casting spells? Well, technically I didn't see if the spell actually worked so maybe she didn't do anything wrong.

After sitting for about fifteen minutes of my thoughts swimming around in my head I decide it's time to finally get ready for class. I have a free period first period so Candi is already gone and I have time to waste.

I dig through my closet before pulling out a lavender skirt and cute matching top and decide to pair it with a purple silk hijab. I don't usually wear a hijab unless it's a fancy event or a religious event, though I also wear it when I want to look nice. I don't know why but I want to look nice today.

I walk down the hall towards the library when I literally run into Jane, or more like she literally runs into me. "Woah, Woah, you ok Jane, why are you in such a rush?" I ask her as I help pick up the papers she dropped. Jane blushes and hides her head scrambling with apologies.

"Jane! Stop, calm down I'm not mad, I was just curious why you're rushing around in a panic." I tell her putting my hand on her shoulder.

"Sorry Zara, I'm just supposed to get mom to sign these papers for the early release for the coronation." She spills out quickly. She finally looks up at me and lets out, "Woah! You look stunning! I wish I could look like that." She says making me frown.

"Don't you say that Jane you're already beautiful," I say smiling at her

She doesn't respond to that instead looks at me confused "Wait why are you all dressed up? You never dress up like this except for special occasions?"

I giggle a little at that before I jokingly say, "No reason." Though the smile is clearly giving away I'm lying. I don't know why but I want to impress Jay.

Wait! Jay!?! Why would I want to impress him? I quickly questioned myself though in my mind I already knew the answer.

As we push the door open, to the library, I hear Fairy Godmother teaching the VK's "You're handed a crying baby, do you A. curse it B. lock it in a tower, C. give it a bottle or D. carve out its heart." I roll my eyes at how easy these questions are, these are baby questions, literally, even for the VK's. "Evie"

"What was the second one again?" I stand corrected. I almost laugh at her not knowing the answer, but then I frown thinking that if they can't even answer this question how bad was it back on the isle.

"C, give it a bottle." I hear Mal answer I smile slightly at her answering the question correctly but that was quickly undermined by her telling the others, "Just pick the one that doesn't sound like any fun." with a duh face.

After that 'question' I start to push Jane towards her mother, I'm almost dragging her because she's scared of the VK's. "There's nothing to be scared of they're just teenagers just like the rest of us." Though that doesn't seem to encourage her because the second we reach the tables they're sitting at she shrieks and runs (wait no, let rephrase that she quickly speed walks, her mother never allowing running in the classroom even if it's only a few steps) past the desks. I just walk past normally and I see Jay wink at me I blush and quickly turn away from my so-called enemy.

Fairy Godmother crouches down as if she's about to approach a wounded animal, "Well, hello dear one." I mean I know moms love their kids to the moon and back but still, just little too mothery for my taste, makes me feel like a small child.
