Chapter 5
*not edited*
Mal
I walked into the sports center already dressed in my purple tennis outfit and white shoes, my hair tied back up in a much neater ponytail. I didn't see a lot of people in the center probably because it was oh let me think...TEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHT! I can't believe Ben wanted to keep this a secret. But I get it if my mom saw me hanging out with him if I wasn't spying on him she would probably kill me. I walked onto the tennis courts and saw Ben putting down his sports bag, like me he was wearing the same thing he wore to tryouts.
"Hey," he said as I walked over.
"Hi," I said taking my racket out of my bag and putting it next to Ben's.
"Ready?" Ben said to me as he walked onto the court.
"Yeah," I said as I served the ball. We played for about an hour and a half. Ben kept acting like a total fool, a really cute fool; he made me laugh a few times. We kept getting deuces but I finally pulled through and beat Ben. He walked up to net and I followed him and we both came face to face at the net.
"Great game," he said
"Thanks," I said looking into his blue eyes. Ben didn't really seem like the monster that I imagined him to be when my mother was describing him to be. We both leaned in but before we could actually kiss I pulled away.
"I um have to go," I said shaking my head.
"Yeah um me too," Ben said as I walked to grab my bag.
"Hey want to do same time next Friday?" Ben asked
"Yeah that would be great, see you at school." I said walking out the door.
Monday
Riley
"Claire!" I yelled I was beside her bed hitting her with one of her pillows.
"Ouch! Riley? Ok, Ok! I'm up." She said getting out of bed. "What time is it?" She asked me
"It's six thirty, school starts at seven." I said walking out of her room. After about fifteen minutes I saw her emerge full dressed and ready to go. I grabbed my book bag and followed her out the door.
"Do we have time for a quick coffee run?" Claire asked still a little groggy
"Yeah, we can't go to the coffee shop though we have to go to the dorm cafeteria." I said looking at my IPhone.
"Fine with me." She said as I pressed the down button on the elevator. We waited for about a minute and hopped in an empty elevator. We finally arrived at the coffee bar to see a crowd of girls and boys gathered around it fighting each other for a cup of coffee.
"Want to skip it? Claire asked me
"Sure, I feel pretty awake anyways." I said as we walked out the door leading to the school Riley and I arrived at the school along with a bunch of other kids. Everyone was crowding the hallways, walking to class, organizing their lockers, and just seeing old friends. I looked at my schedule, I had English first in room 103. I said a quick good-bye to Claire and walked down the long hallway to room 103. The English teacher was Wendy Darling, her daughter Jane worked as the school librarian. I was the first in the class so I got the first pick of desks. I decided to sit where I always sat in every class, front row in exactly the middle desk. The bell rang and the rest of my English classmates filled in taking their seats. Two girls sat next to me one with blonde hair tied back with a black ribbon in a ponytail. The other girl had loose wavy red hair that fell down to her waist. I recognized the girl with the red hair, she was Evanna the daughter if Merida Queen of Dunbrouch. We attended Magic Academy together, however I didn't recognize the blonde girl maybe she was new.
"Hello class." Mrs. Wendy said
"Hello Mrs. Wendy." We all said
"Welcome to English class, this year is going to be very exciting we are going to read lots of exciting books this year such as Rapunzel and my favorite Peter Pan." She said with a smile. Mrs. Wendy passed the first book we were going to read was Peter Pan.
"Please read chapters one and two in class and three and four for homework tonight." Mrs. Wendy said sitting back down at her desk. The rest of English class was pretty boring we all just sat reading until the bell rang. I got up and accidentally bumped into the blonde girl making her drop her books on the floor.
"I'm so sorry," I said helping her gather her books.
"It's ok," She said as we both stood up.
"I'm Riley, I haven't seen you before are you knew?" I asked.
"Actually no, I'm Chloe, I skipped a grade." She said shyly.
"Oh that's so cool, how did you skip?" I asked her
"I skipped because of dance. Also my grades were high." She said
"Dance?"
"Yeah I do dance but my academic grades were so high that my teachers think I need to be challenged a bit more." She said as we walked along to our next class.
"That's amazing it's great to have you here." I said giving her a quick side hug.
"Thanks I love it here. Where do you dorm?" she asked
"Beach house, all the freshmen do." I replied
"Oh which floor?"
"Floor five, you?" I asked
"Floor four. Well this is my classroom see you around." She said waving goodbye.
"Bye!" I said as I walked along to my next class, Princess Training. I walked into the classroom and I saw Claire waving at me from the front row. I walked over to her and took my seat; Claire saved me, of course, the seat in the middle. I got in just before class started, I saw the teacher Ms. Charlotte la Buff stand up all pink and frilly in a long dress with a slit by her right leg.
"Hello girls, I'm Ms. Charlotte and I'll be your teacher in teaching you all things princess like. This year we will be studying ways to hold a fan, dress making, dancing, posture as well as many other things. Any questions?" All of us sat in silence trying to take in what she was saying. She had a heavy Louisiana accent and was fixing her makeup as she was talking to us.
"Great, tomorrow we will start our lessons on fan holding and waving but today you guys can have a free period." She said putting on more rouge. I looked over at Claire who in turn glanced at me. I pulled my Peter Pan book out of my bag and started on chapter three.
"Are we allowed to talk?" I turned around to see Charlotte the daughter of Queen Cinderella and King Charming in the back of the class. Her golden blonde hair tied back in a princess bun with a small tiara. Her uniform was perfect, shirt tucked in, skirt that didn't wrinkle up when she sat down, tie always straight. Though she seemed nice on the outside she was secretly just a brat on the inside. We have a constant rivalry going on who gets the most A's, not to mention her crush on my older brother Anxelin.
"I guess so if you do it quietly." Ms. Charlotte said not paying attention. I looked over at Claire who rolled her eyes, as she went back to her math homework. I finished reading the chapters I needed to read for English as well as read ahead a couple of chapters. Just then the bell rang and all of us walked out in a hurry.
"Bye sugars." Ms. Charlotte said as we exited.
"What do you have next?" I asked Claire.
"Biology, you?"
"History" I said. Claire and I went our separate ways on the third floor. The next class I had with her was magical abilities. I walked up to history, which was pretty boring, but I was excited for magical abilities. Just like our mother Anxelin and I are able to heal others using the powers we got from the magic flower. I was a bit more experienced than Anxelin probably because I practiced more. Finally history was over and I practically ran all the way to the ability classroom on the other side of the building. I finally arrived, since a lot of the kids who go to school here don't have any magical powers all the grades were combined. I saw Anxelin in the back corner of the classroom; I waved to him and sat down waiting for Claire. I looked around the classroom, not a lot of kids. The class was filled with mostly villain kids but there were some heroes. I recognized Caterina the daughter of the Mad Hatter, and Melia the daughter of Megara and Hercules. Claire ran in right when the bell rang and sat down next to me breathless from running.
"Hello everybody!" I heard a voice yell as a blue light flashed and revealed our teacher Mr. Genie.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." He said shaking everyone's hands as he flew around the classroom.
"Now for our first full day since I wasn't here on orientation day I would love to learn your names and powers. So, who's first?" He said "How about you?" he said to Claire.
"Well..." She started
"Stand up." Mr. Genie said
"Ok, I'm Claire and I can turn into a mermaid." Claire said
"And it's interesting because you have an older sister who can't turn into a mermaid without using your grandfather's triton." Mr. Genie said bouncing across the room.
"Yes." Claire said
"Great moving on, NEXT!" Mr. Genie yelled using a bullhorn. "You!" he said pointing at me. I stood up,
"Yes sir?" I said
"Tell us about yourself." He said
"Oh I'm Riley and I can heal others..."
"Using your hair, we know." A girl with blue hair said interrupting me.
"NO INTERRUPTING!" Mr. Genie said using his bullhorn
"Actually I can do it through my hands not my hair. Apparently when my mother was born the magic was inside her. When she healed my father the magic was inside of him. So the magic is inside me and my brother." I said pointing back to Anxelin.
"Fascinating. OK NEXT!" he yelled as he pointed at a girl with purple hair. She stood up a little bewildered.
"I'm Mal and I can do lots of things." She said demonstrating with her hands as green magic swirled around her fingertips.
"Like what?" Mr. Genie asked
"I can move objects and shoot beams out of my hands." She said nonchalantly
"NEXT!" bullhorn again,
"Evvie, I can brew potions and do spells." The girl with the blue hair said, getting up and sitting back down.
"YOU! WHO ARE YOU?" He said pointing to the boy with the freakish purple eyes.
"Jace, voodoo magic. Can I go to the bathroom?"
"NO, YOU!." Mr. Genie said directing his attention to a kid about Anxelin's age with dark skin and black hair, just as the bell rang.
"HAVE A GOOD DAY!" Mr. Genie said still using his bullhorn.
"I hate that horn, I just want to break it into bits." Claire said as we walked out. It was lunchtime and everyone was heading over to the school cafeteria.
"Calm down it's probably just going to be for this class. I said "I have to go back to my locker, see you in the cafeteria."
Mal POV
I walked into the cafeteria with all the other kids. The cafeteria was a huge glass rectangular shaped building. The kitchen wasn't visible but there was a large buffet table with servers on the far side of the room. I walked over to the buffet and picked up a golden plate. The buffet was huge, bigger than the one in the Bay House dorm. I walked over to the sushi bar and picked some tuna rolls and paired it with some roast beef from the carving station. Not a really healthy lunch but I didn't care. I picked up a water from the large ice buckets near the soda fountain and sat down at an empty table. Evvie dropped down in the seat across from me.
"Can you believe this school? It's a complete joke; anyways did you get any information the adults want to have a projection meeting in the woods on Friday night at midnight. Is that good with you?" Evvie said taking a bite of her apple.
"Yeah, sorry Friday, midnight, got it." I said zoning out for a bit.
"Good, do you want to skip next period with me?" Evvie asked, "I just want t get out if here."
"Sorry I can't Ben's in my next class." I said
"Oh well have fun." Evvie said sarcastically getting up from the table. Leaving me all alone.
Claire POV
"So where are we going." I asked Xavier as we walked along the boat dock. The Academy had a boat system that ferries students from the school to the downtown shopping and eating district. It was about five o'clock and Xavier asked me to go out with him to celebrate the first day of school. I mean, he was cute and I felt really bad for acting mean to him during orientation week. So I decided to go.
"It's a surprise." He said as a boat approached the dock. A man in a white sailor uniform hopped out of the boat and tied it too the dock. A group of girls, and three couples along with Xavier and I walked onto the small vessel. The boat was a good size, there was indoor and outdoor seating where you could sit and enjoy the weather if it was nice. Xavier and I as well as the other couples sat inside while the girl group hogged up the only seating outside. The boat's motor was really loud and it was hard to hear Xavier trying to talk to me. I quickly pulled out my phone and in my notes app typed out I can't hear you, how about we talk after we get off the boat. I showed it to him, he nodded and we sat there in silence. It was a cold night on the water, I was glad that I had brought a sweater. Tonight I was wearing a white ruffled top, dark blue jeans, black leather boots, and an emerald green sweater. Finally the boat docked and we were able to get off the boat. Xavier led me to a large building with glittering lights. He held the doors open for me and I walked in. We were in a bowling alley,
"Bowling?" I asked him
"Yeah, I've never done it in a real alley before the one back at home is all trashed. This is nice." He said as we walked over pay and gets our shoes. The first floor was a large bowling themed restaurant while the second floor had thirty bowling lanes. When we got to the counter Xavier tried to pay for me but I insisted I pay for myself. We then told the guy our sizes and we were handed shoes along with a pair of socks.
"You will be in lane six." The man said, we thanked him and walked over to the right where lanes 1-15 were.
"Just warning you I'm a pretty bad bowler." I said to Xavier as we walked over to our lane.
"Don't worry I haven't bowled in eight years." He said with a laugh. Our lane was really nice, perfectly waxed floors, the balls rested neatly on a rack all primped and polished. Xavier grabbed a dark blue ball and I grabbed a light blue one. We sat down on soft orange chairs across from each other as we put on our shoes. Xavier plugged our names in the computer, I was up first I inserted my fingers into the three holes and quickly bowled the ball. I ended up knocking only three pins down.
"Nice," Xavier said
"Thanks, but that was terrible." I said picking up my ball again as it rolled into the return area. I bowled the ball again and I ended up hitting five more pins.
"Great job," he said giving me a high five, as he got up. He picked up his blue ball and bowled a strike. He turned around to me with an expression of pure amazement.
"Wow, haven't played in eight years huh?" I said smiling he shrugged.
"Beginners luck." He said he choked back his words though when he bowled five strikes in a row. I however got six spares and missed the pins completely two times.
"Want to get something to eat?" Xavier said to me when we were done.
"Yeah sure," I said. We turned in our bowling shoes and we rode the escalators down to the restaurant.
"Table for two." Xavier said the host at the front. The host grabbed two menus and led us to a small corner in the back.
"This is nice." I said to Xavier as we sat down and was handed our menus
"What are you going to get?" He asked me
"Probably the steak tips." I said "I don't eat meat that often so this is really special."
"Why can't you eat meat?" he asked me
"I can eat meat, it's just that my best friend is a vegetarian so I don't eat meat around her, and I'm with her everyday." I said
"Does it upset her when you eat meat around her?" He asked me
"I'm not sure." I said quickly, thankfully I was saved by our water who's name was Matt. He took our drink orders I got a Sprite while Xavier got a diet Coke. After that we talked about small things like our classes, sports, Mel ignoring me, and just life in general. Our drinks soon arrived and Xavier held his glass up.
"A toast...to our first date and our first week of school." He said as we clinked our glasses together.
A/N: Hello! I'm sorry this took awhile but I had writers block when writing the school parts. Anyways Descendants: Book 1 just reached a little over a 100 reads and I just want to thank those who come back and read this story every time a new part comes out : ) It really means a lot. I do have a couple of things to say. Recently I read that in the movie Descendants Anxelin is a girl and in my story he/she is a boy. The reason Anxelin is a boy in my version is because when I first read about the movie they didn't release the genders of the kids, they only released the names. Judging by these names Anxelin sounded like a boy's name (to me) so I instantly wrote him/her as a boy. However I can't change the gender of Anxelin because he will play a role in Riley's future as well as another character that you've met in this chapter ; ) I hope you all understand, keep reading! Your all amazing!
Question: Can you guess the character that Anxelin effects? Also comment what Disney character you would like to see, it can be anybody!
