my little chat with princey sidetracked me and i was almost late to class. i wasn't late but i wasn't early either. i didn't get to pick where i sat so my sitting arrangement was up to the teacher. yay.

"right, uh val i want you next to.... next to audrey! you remember audrey right?" fairy godmother pointed at the empty seat next to the little pink princess, who didn't seem too happy with the decision. i feel welcomed already!

fairy godmother began to write something on the board when a lady walked in and interrupted her. they whispered amongst themselves and the lady left. fairy godmother cleared her throat and got our attention. "now i had a lesson planned for us today, but an emergency has come up and i'm needed. i trust you all to behave in my absence, i won't take long. work on your other assignments if you wish." with that fairy godmother was out the door and we were left by ourselves. well then okay.

"so your mom is like the queen of hearts right?" am i tripping or is audrey speaking to me? "uh yeah she is." she let out a little 'hmm' as if i were lying. as if i would lie about who my mother was. "from what i heard she didn't really like children, so how come she had you?" should i take that as an insult or ?

"i don't know, i guess i was a mistake and she just kept me around for the sake of it. how does it feel to be the daughter of sleeping beauty?" i don't actually care but if she's going to ask about my mother then i should too. she didn't answer my question right away, she looked down at her hands and frowned.

"if she had stuck around i would have some great stories right now." i take it she meant to say it to herself and not out loud to me. wait okay but what did she mean by that? "what do you mean?" i asked, okay now i care because she seems sad and she seems to always be happy.

"my mom isn't always around, i didn't see much of her growing up. my grandmother raised me, i only saw mother when she stopped by for important gatherings with the other princesses. she stayed for my christening and then left. all she and father do is travel,
explore the world and send postcards. i know i don't have much to complain about... but growing up knowing your mother is alive but just doesn't want to be with you sucks. nana says she's exploring the world to make up for being trapped in a cottage her whole childhood." woah that was a lot... i take it she doesn't get to always unload on people huh?

"you'd think going through that she would want to provide a happy childhood for her child." well that seemed to make her chuckle, i guess i'm doing a good job at comforting her? "exactly! at this point i don't feel comfortable calling them my parents, my nana was more of a mother than she was." she wiped away the tears that were threatening to leave her eyes as she looked up at me. "ugh my mascara is definitely ruined and i don't have the strength to fix it." she had taken out a mirror from her bag and began to look over her eye makeup.

"here let me help you, i know a thing or two about makeup." she gave me shocked face before handing me her mascara. i took her head into my hand and pulled her close to inspecting her look. ah this brought back memories of the isle. well now it's not completely ruined but i can make it better. after i had done a fantastic job, if i do say so myself, she took her mirror and admired her eyes.

"why are you looking at me like that?" i asked as she looked at me through her mirror. she shook her head and laughed. "how do you know how to use makeup? ben can't even tell me the difference between the shades of lipstick i own." i shrugged and looked at the makeup she had in her bag.

"my friend uma, she always found the best items and so she taught me a thing or two. eventually i got the hand of it and began doing my own makeup. what?" audrey seemed amazed that i did my makeup. well is it not normal here or? "it's just nana always taught me that makeup was only for girls and that boys who wore makeup shouldn't be trusted." her nana taught her what now?

"well no offense to your nana but that's just plain stupid. makeup is for everyone. as long as you know what you're doing then go for it. that mentality is like that of those who say guys can't date other guys or girls can't be with girls... let me guess, she told you that isn't okay either huh?" audrey bit her lip and nodded, please tell me she doesn't agree with her.

"yeah but she's old and was raised with that mentality. i know it doesn't excuse it but i can't just change her mindset, but i taught myself to know that not everything she says is true." well that's good to hear i guess. also one more question i have, does her grandmother control what she wears?

"aren't you kids tired of getting up in the morning and getting dressed as if you were going to lunch with the queen? i mean live a little, wear ripped jeans and some flannel. let you hair down once in a while. wear makeup that makes you look hot not innocent." now, one can take a look at me and say i'm not one to give fashion advice, but at least i know what i'm doing when i get dressed. my little vk look is hot and you can't tell me otherwise.

"what? you mean dress like... well dress like you?" has she never actually considered dressing differently? "well yeah basically." again she let out a little 'hmm', so i guess she's considering it?

"i'll do it! only if you let me dress you however i want!" wait what? am i... actually considering this. why am i actually considering this? "okay, deal." no what? why would i say that? i'm an idiot aren't i? yes i am.

"wonderful, oh sit with me at lunch. we can discuss our plans and i'm sure either chad or ben would lend you some clothes. this is going to be amazing."

**

i'm sitting here at a lunch table surrounded by preppy teens, uma i have failed you haven't i? i felt eyes on me and when i looked up i saw who was staring daggers into my head. well first it was ben, and that may be cause his girlfriend is all over me. not like she's flirting but her attention is on me, and well charming over here too. the second person was mal, she wasn't at our table obviously. she was sitting with the other vk's. now i don't know why she seems to be angry at me but i could care less if she was.

"i don't see the point of this, dressing up like punks? we would look horrendous." charming kept finding excuses to not have audrey dress up in vk style. "now listen here charming, you don't wear the clothes. the clothes wear you. do you think you're attractive?" he didn't even bother thinking the question over before answering.

"well of course." yeah okay kinda but not my type. "well there you go. if you think you're good looking then you can pull anything off. heck even a dress would look good on anyone that's pretty." charming began to admire himself on his phones camera while the rest of us continued our conversations.

"so you're going to dress like us and she's gonna dress like you? how did you even come up with that?" princey asked as he ate his salad, i feel unhealthy as i'm sitting here eating a burger. well audrey told me to get it, she said i looked like i haven't eaten in days. well she's not wrong there.

"well we were talking and i mentioned my makeup skills. one thing led to another and boom." i wonder if he was okay with the idea of guys wearing makeup. "oh really? i myself don't know a thing about makeup. audrey is always on me about that." audrey laughed and playfully hit his arm.

"you could learn a thing or two from v, then one day you could do my makeup." yeah i don't think princey cares about makeup or doing anyone's makeup actually. "yeah that's true. in fact i'm sure that's possible now that he's going to be staying with me." well guess i was wrong. wait i'm going to be staying with who now?

"you're going to be roomies now? that's wonderful!" when was this decided? why was i not informed? what? "yeah, fairy godmother didn't know where to put him and thought that having three people in one room was safety hazard. since i room alone i volunteered to share my room with him." oh alrighty then i guess i have a room now?

"well that's great, i'm sure jay and carlos won't miss me much. thanks for being so kind." there i've thanked him, happy now mother? "well are you ready for our tourney practice today?" princey asked me as audrey began taking pictures of me. why is she taking pictures of me again?

"he can't make it benny boo, we have plans." we do? when did we make plans? eh i don't care as long as i don't have to join a sports team i'm good. "oh well that's fine. just be good with him." now what did that mean princey? if she's not good with me i'll go evil on her or something.

"don't worry benny boo, by the end of the day he's going to be my new best friend. here let's take a selfie." a what now? next thing i know audrey has her phone up in the air as she pulls me closer to her. we took like five before charming joined us. then after another five with charming, princey joined in and i guess that's how i basically befriend all the popular preppy kids. well then this is fine i guess. they're actually being real kind to me, i like it. hey maybe being close with the prince could come in handy.
