Beatrice POV

As I walked out the school I saw Mal being crowded with paparazzis, I rolled my eyes at them and looked for my brother. I saw Ben walking over closer to me "Oh Bennyboo" I sing as walk towards and jump right next to him "Here's an apple. Be grateful I even thought about you" I said giving him the fresh apple then took a bite of mine "Thank you" Ben said and took a bite of the apple, I gave him a curt nod and smiled

I look up at him and saw him staring at Mal who was still bombarded with paparazzis and their pathetic excuse of questions "Can you just stop staring at your girlfriends and help her" I rolled my eyes "Is your mother still a lizard?" I heard one of the paparazzis ask and Mal snaps her head towards who asked the question, also being was the last straw for Ben and went finally made his way towards her

Ben clears his throat getting the attention of the paparazzis and Mal as he cuts through the crowded area. My watch made a noise again signaling me that I'm gonna be late to the meeting, and so was Ben if he doesn't hurry up, I gave a quick glance before making my way where I'm supposed to be

I grabbed my phone and gave Ben a text to give him a reminder that he has a meeting. I heard high heels hitting the wooden floor coming right at me and I immediately knew it was Evie "Hey b" I heard her voice "Evie" I smiled at her and took a glance at her before putting my phone away "I have a few questions for you for your fantastic dress that I'm making" Evie states and place her hand on her chest

I playfully rolled my eyes at her and smiled "Can you ask me the question later, Ev. I have a meeting to get to" I told and gave her a apologetic smile and my watch made some noise again telling Evie I was telling the truth. I rolled my eyes at the watch "if this don't shut up I'm gonna break it" I muttered. Evie let out chuckle as she heard me "Alright. I'll leave you to it"

"Thank you" I whispered and rapidly walked away from her to where the council meeting was being held to

——

After the council meeting, I agreed to hang out with Freddie. Yes the voodoo girl is still here on Auradon and I'm happy about that, I immediately friended her and I'm glad I did.

I was looking for the girl and saw her talking to Lonnie and Jane. I let out a sigh and took a deep breath while closing my eyes, I'm not as close with Jane anymore. And honestly it's a stupid reason but it's not my fault, it's nobody's fault but I guess things just happens. I know Carlos likes Jane and I'm pretty sure Jane likes him back. I mean she doesn't know I like him. The only people who knows is Freddie and I'm sure Evie caught on as well but she hasn't said anything so I'm not sure but still I see the way she looks at me when Carlos gets nervous around Jane

I shake my head to remove my thoughts and made my way towards the group of girls "Hey guys" I said putting a fake smile "Hey Bea" All of them said at the same time freaking me out "Alright that freaked me out" I laughed making them laugh with me. We started walking together, Freddie and I stayed behind as the other two walked ahead talking to each other

I look up at Freddie and gave her a look that she immediately understood "It's not my fault" She stated raising her hand in surrender "She came along and I let her cause I wasn't going to be mean" Freddie explained, I shake my head and rolled my eyes "Whatever" I crossed my arms and started to space off as I trailed behind Lonnie and Jane "Mal" I heard Jane call bringing me back to reality

I looked up and saw the whole of the Vks, I mentally rolled my eyes and sighed, could this day get even worse? I mean I love them but you know the problem I just had. With Carlos and Jane, which is happening right now

"Hey, Jane" Carlos abruptly said, I look at Freddie, she gave me a sad smile. I rolled my eyes as I kept watching the scene in front of me unfold "Hey" Jane said smiling at him "I was wondering... uh..." Carlos started to stammering, I felt an eye on me making look around and saw Evie looking at me with sadden eyes, which made me realize that she in fact knows I have a crush on Carlos. Am I that obvious?

Jane looks at Lonnie with a confused look the back at The nervous boy, Carlos look back at his friends for help but decide not to say anything "If you liked the... carrot cake last night?" He asked making me smile, "I had the pumpkins pie" Jane apprise still smiling brightly at him "Oh. Cool. Uh, uh..."

"Smooth" Jay muttered to him, dragging the boy away. I look down at my feet suddenly all interested at it "I have an opening for a fitting at 3:00, who wants it?" Evie ask the girls "Me" Lonnie shouted abruptly, making me jump "Sorry" She looked at Jane who was about to say something "Perfect" Evie said then looked at Jane "I'll take you later. Okay" Evie walked away with Lonnie making me alone with Jane and Mal, Freddie left awhile ago, so This is between the two about cotillion.

I moved away from the two girls and leaned against the wall, I lean my head back with my eyes closed as I rethink about my life, cause honestly it's not it. "Hey, Bea" I heard a familiar voice call me, I mentally groan and looked beside me where the voice was and saw that I was right. It was the son of Tarzan and Jane, Theo, he keeps asking me out for Cotillion and I keep telling him the same answer, no. I mean he's good looking kid, he has a very sharp jawline and sharp cheekbones, Long curly hair, greenish eyes, cute nose, small lips. He's good looking, yes, but I never took interest of him as many girls did

"Theo" I stated with no interest in my voice "Look, I know that you know what I'm gonna ask but this is probably, maybe, the last time I'm asking you just in case" He started, I straighten my posture and looked at him "Would you, please, go to cotillion.. with me?" He asked the question I've been dreading that someone else ask me instead of him. I breathe out a sigh and looked at him in the eyes "We'll see Theo" I told him and gave him a small smile "If nobody else ask me to cotillion by the end of the day tomorrow, which is cotillion, I'll go with you" I answered, he looked at me with hopeful eyes "Really?" He asked, I gave him a nod making him smile brightly at me. I smiled back

"Great!" He said still smiling brightly and strutted away. I smiled slightly as Evie came towards me, she looks at Theo, who was looking back at me, then back at me "Who was that?" She says smiling smugly, I rolled my eyes at her and looked back at Theo who disappeared around the corner "Theo, son of Tarzan and Jane" I answered, I looked back at Evie was who was smirking at me "What?" I asked her

"Nothing" she shrugged I shake my head her "You needed something?" I asked "Oh yes, I came here to ask you about the color of your dress" Evie said finally getting what she wanted from me "I want it the color...red" I stated, she looked at me surprised "Red? Why not yellow?" She asked interested "I want something different you know" I told her, nodding my head at the different color "I'm always wearing yellow but this year I want it red. Something different" I explained, she nodded understanding "Well you're gonna look amazing" Evie complements "Of course I am" I said playfully and flicked my hair. We both laugh

Out of nowhere Evie grabbed my hand and dragged me towards Jane and Lonnie "I can hardly wait to see what your wedding will look like" Lonnie told Mal "Me too" Mal said looking down not wrapping her head on what Lonnie had said "Wait, what?" Shooting her eyes back up from the floor to us

"The royal cotillion is like getting engaged to be engaged to be engaged" Jane explained making me nod "Another reason why I'm glad I'm the youngest in the family" I raised my finger up "I knew it" Evie said dreamily as everyone looked at her "Everyone knows it" Lonnie said rolling her eyes stating the obvious but Mal didn't obviously know about it until now

"I didn't know it" Mal freaked out "How come nobody told me that?" Ben slowly creeped behind Mal "Is my entire life just planned out in front of me?" Mal kept asking questions "Hi, Mal" Ben said wrapping her hands "Hi, Ben" All the girls said teasingly, Mal just glared at them with a warning look while I looked at them weird "Oh, oh, quick moment" Jane said grabbing Ben's arm pulling him away, Evie, Lonnie and I walked away to our class together
