Ch.2 Meet and glares?!
Alastar's Pov
I see a dude with brown hair step up in front of us and he proceeds to speak.
Ben: It's good to finally meet you all. My name is Ben.
All of a sudden a girl in pink rudely interrupts.
Audrey: Prince Benjamin. Soon to be king.
I see Evie's starstruck eyes at the mention of a prince.
Evie: You had me at prince. My mom's a queen. Making me a princess.
I almost awe at her innocence until Miss. I like interrupting people, starts talking again.
Audrey: The evil queen has no royal status here and neither do you.
I get a bit pissed. How dare she, she just wants to make herself seem better. And all of a sudden my mouth moves before I can think about my words.
Alastar: Aww, how amazingly pathetic of you. Wanting to tear someone down to make yourself seem better. Now think for a second of a way you could've phrased that in a nicer way.
I pause pretending to give her time. Interrupting her before she can speak I rant some more.
Alastar: Hmm... I guess royals aren't as great as you think you are... Huh. Guess what if you want to insult someone do it when they do something wrong and by wrong I mean things like being a bad person. OK?
The girl stutters like she wants to defend herself but I turn around to get back to the matter at hand.
Alastar: I am so sorry for interrupting you uhhh... Prince Benjamin, is it?
Everyone seems a bit stunned but Prince Benjamin answers.
Prince Ben: * clears throat* yeah but you all can call me Ben. That's Audrey.
Already recovered she speaks again.
Audrey: Princess Audrey. His girlfriend. Right, Bennyboo?
I almost gag at her honey soaked words. Only remembering that tone when some of my friends talked to their costumers.
FGM: Ben and Audrey are going to show you all around, and I'll see you all tomorrow. The doors of wisdom are never shut. But the library hours are from 8:00 to 11:00. And as you might've heard, I have a little thing about curfew.
Ben continues from where FGM ends. Stuttering a little when he gets to Mal.
Ben: It is so, so, so, good to finally me...meet you all. This is a momentous occasion, and one that I hope will go down in history....
When he gets to Carlos he notices the sticky sweet substance on his hand.
Ben: Is that chocolate? As the day our two people begin to heal.
Mal being the ever so adorable little sister finds this is a perfect time to joke.
Mal: or the day you showed four people where the bathrooms are.
I giggle a little finding it funny enough I snort a little. Ben isn't discouraged though he actually joins Mal in a little bit of what seems to be banter.
Ben: A little over the top?
Mal smirks.
Mal: A little more than a little bit.
Ben: So much for a first impression.
Audrey: Hey your Maleficent's daughter, aren't you? Yeah you know what? I totally do not blame you for your mother trying to kill my parents and stuff. Oh, my mom's sleeping...
I was about to cut her off for trying to insult my sister. Mal holds me back.
Mal: Beauty! Yeah i've heard the name.
Mal is under-exaggerating it. Maleficent would rant about her almost weekly.
Mal: You know, and I totally do not blame your grandparents for inviting everyone in the whole world but my mother to their stupid christening.
I find this as good a time as any to interrupt.
Alastar: Oh and let's not forget antagonizing our mom before anything else.
Ms.Bubblegum looks confused. Mal side eyes me since she knows I don't particularly like our bio-mom.
Audrey: Wait, your Maleficent's daughter too? I thought you were that other girl's sister.
I smile a cynical smile at her.
Alastar: looks can be deceiving ok, princess.
She scoffs probably due to the fact she has never heard the word princess sounding like such an insult. Ben decides to stop us.
Ben: Okay! So how about a tour? Yeah?
He starts to usher us somewhere else.
I zone out but knowing Mal and Ben are doing some what seems to be mild flirting. He seems like an Ok person but he keeps looking at my sister a lot. I know that Mal is probably just trying to get information from him. We meet a person named Doug who introduces himself as dopey's son. He seems to instantly have a crush on Evie. Low-key I ship it. We get shown to our rooms. I get a room all to myself though which is awesome. They probably did it cause the rooms were two person and nobody wanted a VK as a roomie. I go to Mal and Evie's room instantly.
Alastar: Hello, beautiful princesses. Can you help me? I am looking for my sister and our friend. Have you seen them? One is two inches taller than me with purple hair the other also taller than me but with sapphire hair.
Evie giggles and Mal just rolls her eyes. I look around, it looks like Evie's style but not Mal's.
Alastar: Let's head to Carlos and Jay's place
~To the room
When we get to the room Carlos is playing a game, so I go to play as well.
Al:So how do ya play
He explains it to me and I try it out once he hands me a separate remote.
Carlos:Woah you are good at this... But look at this. Die, suckers!!! Jay you wanna see this too?
Mal gets mad at us and reminds us why we are here.
I ignore it as per usual but get back in the convo when we start planning. They are searching for the museum but Carlos finds it before the rest of us.
Al: Lead the way Polaris
Carlos sticks his tongue out at me because of the nickname.
~Museum~
After the mess of trying to sneak inside we pass by the villain section for a bit and see some familiar faces. I walk past because I sadly never got any real feeling of comfort from many of the original villains. My own mother was no exception to this. I wait a bit and notice Mal hasn't come back I ask Evie if she can check up on her. Once we are all together we try to figure out a way to get the crown. Jay my mildly oblivious friend tries to just grab the wand. Turns out it had security measures on it and an alarm started shouting. While we run Carlos answers a phone call and somehow resolves the matter well. I pat him on the head for a bit and continue running. Mal on the other hand complains about having to go to school.
~Next Day~
"Easy just choose the one that sounds the least fun" I get knocked out of my trance when Mal says this. I try to play it off like I knew what was happening. Looking down I notice I created a drawing, one of a girl I have never seen. Recently I have been zoning out only to find that I either wrote, drew, or sung something I had either no or little to no knowledge of. Obviously I wasn't hiding my boredom well enough and Godmother called my name. "Alastar, are you paying attention?" Of course I wasn't but none the less I said "Of course Fairy godmother, oh and by the way have I ever said how especially good you look today?"
"*cough* suck up*cough*"Mal said just loud enough for me to hear. Once godmother turned around I shot a playful glare at Mal. I hear a sound kin to that of a mouse and find that it came from a feminine female showing a resemblance to the Fairy godmother. "Oh, this is my daughter Jane"
"Very nice to meet you" I say.
Jane gives a look of embarrassment towards her mother and us. Jane leaves and as she does the bell rings. I grab my things and organise them for my next class 'Basic Chivalry' I begin to feel a bit chilly on my way to class so I zipper up my jacket and keep my hood up. I make it to my class and find my seat I have a corner seat and sit next to just one person. I look around and see that many of my classmates are male and start to think that other girls either aren't in this specific class period, not many want to do it, or maybe they are just late or absent, maybe a mixture of all of these. My deskmate is absent and since I am new I don't have much to do. I try to start a conversation with a person one seat away from my deskmate but they literally physically distance themselves from me, I thought they might've just not heard me so I try again, this time they look at me and scoff. Me being mad but not wanting to fight just go back to my original seat. The person in front of me then tries to talk to me "Don't mind him, many of people aren't used to people who are different, like you"
"You mean a villains kid" I respond with a light chuckle. " By the way how did you know I was a VK?"
He looked like he was conflicted on whether or not he should say the next words "Well for one your clothes" I look and see his point everyone looks so neat while I have sweatpants and a baggy sweatshirt. "And two most of the people here have known each other since they were toddlers" I get his point since it was my first day and I have seen people look like they know exactly how their life will be. "D'ya wanna be friends?" I ask " Sure" He responds. We continue to talk right until class ends. I say bye and head to a different class and from the description i read when I chose it happens to be one about life skills. There are even classes about tech, dancing and combat.
I sneak into class hoping I am not the first one in. Lady luck must hate me because once I walk in I am the only student and the teacher is fixing her things for class. I hope she doesn't see me as I put my bag near what I hope is my desk and try to ninja my way out of the room.
"Good morning Ms. Bertha" said an all too cheery voice.
"I do not wish to appear rude to a teacher Ms.Merryweather but it's miss also i'd much appreciate it if you just called me Alastar. Using my last name makes me a bit uncomfortable, but besides that good morning" I say with the best smile I could conjure.
"Oh, no it is most definitely okay. You are here quite early though most of the students don't appear until about a minute before class, if they ever bother to come at all." She says cheerily but I can sense a tiny tinge of sadness in her voice near the end.
"Why's that?" I question.
"Well dear, as you know the whole purpose of this class is to not use magic. And many of the students either believe that living without magic is simple for them or that magic is a basic need." She sighs.
"Well, I believe this may be my favorite class of the semester, I never used magic before and seeing what you all have here makes me see the wonders magic does. For me though the basic magic needs are okay but I want to be able to live without them. Honestly speaking I love learning new things, it makes life all the more interesting." I basically rant.
"Wow you have an interesting perspective on this class. I believe you will accomplish much in your life. You might want to get back to your seat though students are going to flood in any minute now." She smiles a warm smile while pointing to where I left my things before.
I sit down and wait after a few seconds I stop waiting for people to come and start pulling out a notebook from my bag. Just then people start rushing in one person even makes me drop my notebook since they push past me. I don't look up because I am not going to get mad over and accident. Class zooms by in a flash. I look at the syllabus enchanted by the things we will be learning. A lot of the things are things that I never knew about and will now get to learn. My other classes seemed normal but in mathematics I gained another friend a girl by the name of Tamera.
"So did you hear?" Tamera asked.
"Hear what?" I reply in a quizzical manner.
"Your sister helped little Janey out a bit and now your sister is the hottest new makeover person at this school" she blurts out.
I smile thinking she may have found something that she is passionate about now that she isn't near mom. And not trying to satisfy our mother's every want. Me and Tamera split up because she had to go meet up with her band for a while.
I skip to my room but stop realizing something, skipping for a while can tire someone out. I drift to my sister's room to talk. Before I step in two girls pop out, one being Jane the other one I don't recognize. Both of them seem to have changed themselves for what appears to be the most commonly desired look of this time. They both say hi to me before leaving. I open the door and walk in.
"Hello, hello anyone home?" I holler.
"What's going on?" I ask.
"I saw Jane and another person whom I do not know walk out right now" I say
I look at my sister and she has a look in her eyes. And I know what it means, she's planning something and I don't think it's gonna be good.
