all throughout my english class with princey he kept his eyes on me, also english wasn't learning english. it was reading and writing, boring. but yeah he kept his eyes on me and he would look away as soon as i looked over at him. my guess was it's because of last night. we just sat there for a while, he was hugging me and it took me a while to hug back. when we pulled away he wiped away my tears and walked me over to my bed. it was all weird, but it felt nice. is this how friendship works in auradon? on the isle friendship was more like, you mess with me you mess with my whole gang.

"will i see you at the game today?" he asked as we began to pack up our stuff. wasn't watching their practice enough? "yeah, think of me as your own personal cheerleader." i joked at i swung my bag over my shoulder. obviously i wasn't going to be his little cheerleader, he had audrey for that. speaking of audrey, i can't wait for class with her. i haven't seen her yet and i'm dying to see what she chose to wear.

i have study hall next, i'm suppose to study during it but i don't as i'm quite the learner. i have a great brain, i remember almost everything and anything. i was in study hall when evie appeared out of no where next to me. right, i forget vk's are taught how to sneak around without being caught.

"we were looking for you last night, ben told us you were napping. how cute, nice to see your boyfriend really cares about you. well we made cookies last night, love potion cookies. we're giving them to ben before the game." love spell cookies? i can't wait to see how that turns out for them.

"well that's interesting, so who's giving him the cookie? you, the flirt, or mal, the wicked witch of the east?" she laughed and shook her head. "mal, but you don't need to give her such a nasty name. she's actually pretty sweet once you get to know her better." yeah as if. "well i'm sure you know her much better than us." she tilted her head to the side in confusion.

"aren't you guys like dating?" i asked in a whisper, she shook her in no and that's when i began to question everything i know. "well are carlos and jay dating?" she shook her head yet again. "but mal and i are pretty sure they're dying to ask each other out." oh okay so i'm not the only one that sees it, thank gods.

"so if you and mal aren't dating, why does she get upset when someone is friendly towards you?" evie's cheeks went redder than they already were as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "does she? i've never noticed, i mean it's probably because we're friends and all." i think someone's crushing on mal. yikes, gross.

"wait no, we're not here for me to go all gaga for some girl. mal and i are just friends, that's all we'll ever be." i don't think she's talking to me anymore but rather to herself. "i have to go... think about stuff. i'll see you at the game hearts." with that evie got up and rushed out of here as if she were being chased. oh woah i think there's more to her feelings for mal than she leads to believe.

before i could even move on to something else, another person arrived and sat next to me. it was audrey, and she was wearing... well she was wearing a black skirt with a hot pink top and stockings. i see she stuck to her pink princess aesthetic but the look still seems punk in a way.

"hello my pretty pink princess, how are you this morning?" she sighed and laid her head on the desk. "ben broke up with me." i'm sorry what? i was not expecting that, and i don't really know what to do with it either. did they already give him the cookie? no evie said it would be given to him before the game. so he did this on his own? "when?"

"last night after dinner. he said he was confused about his feelings right now, and that he started to like someone else. he thought it was best we ended things now before anyone got hurt." he liked someone else? who? it was probably evie, after all she did turn on the charm for him on our first day. "how do you feel?"

"i'm... i'm okay i guess. i mean i should've seen this coming. he's been real distant lately, he stopped holding my hand, walking me to class, and our kisses stopped a while back. i wanted to believe it was because he was busy with coronation, but now he confirmed it wasn't that. whoever the girl is, i hope she makes him happy. i just hope i don't loose my best friend." wait why isn't she upset? yeah maybe she saw this coming but she still has the right to cry and be upset.

"at least now i can explore other options. experiment before i find the one." experiment as in with girls? audrey you wild girl. "well if you ever need to talk, i'm here for you." i kind of hesitated, i'm making friends and that's good but i feel like i'm betraying my friends on the isle. it's fine though right?

"thanks v, i just hope i can go through the game without anything bringing me down. will you come v? cheer me on as i cheer on the team, pretty please?" well i was already going anyways so i don't see why not. "of course audrey."

**

i was at my locker when mal and the others walked over. they never told me what time to see them, just that they were giving princey the cookie before the game. that could've been at anytime so who's to say they haven't given it to him already.

"woah you can't tell if you're a vk or not, i see you're trying to rebrand yourself. how sad." mal wasted no time to insult me as soon as she approached me. "you think people actually care what you have to say, how sad." she aggressively opened her locker and threw her stuff inside. "at least i'm not letting sleeping beauty's brat dress me up like her personal little ken doll." this bitch. "yeah okay, let me know when you take that stick out of your ass. maybe then i'll help you get validation from your mommy." mal slammed her locker shut and turned to look at me, woah i really pushed her buttons. i love that for me.

"hey princey, what's up?" look who showed up before mal tried to use her magic to jinx me. "hey ma poule, oh hey mal. so you guys excited to see your first tourney game?" is that really why he came over here? to ask about tourney? i don't even understand it to be honest. "oh yes thrilled, can't wait."

"hey bennyboo, i just made a batch of cookies, double chocolate chip cookies. want one?" mal held up a bag of cookies but princey didn't seem to care. he was staring at something else, or should i say someone else. evie is like a few feet behind me, maybe she's the girl he likes.

"no i have a game today, and i never eat before a big game. maybe next time, thanks though." mal wouldn't take no for an answer so she kept insisting. "no yeah, i completely understand. be careful of treats offered by kids of villains. i'm sure everyone at auradon knows that." woah playing the victim card, i'm sure princey can see past her bullshit.

"no it's not like that-" mal didn't let princey finish before she kept going. "no i get it, you're cautious. that's smart, well more for me." yep princey didn't fall for that, mal was shit at this. i'm sure even i could make him eat the cookie. princey was about to leave when i snatched the bag from mal's hand.

"princey wait! mal and i are trying real hard to fit in, and we just thought making cookies to share would make people trust us. are you sure you can't even have one little bite? it would make me real happy if you had one at least." i made sure to add a little pout and to give my best puppy dog eyes. princey looked at me and then the cookie before he snatched the bag from my hand and grabbed a cookie.

"well if it'll make you happy then i don't see why not, one wouldn't hurt after all." he took a giant bite of the cookie and smiled at me, woah i'm like good at this. "how are they?" mal shoved me aside to ask princey, and since i didn't see that coming i fucking fell. woah great, i can't get these pants dirty. they're not even mine, they belong to princey.

"they're good, they're great. you okay ma poule?" princey bent down to help me up, but jay and carlos quickly came over to help me instead. mal cleared her throat and princeys attention went back to her. the potion is going to start taking effect so of course his attention had to be on mal for this to work.

"how are you feeling bro?" jay asked ben as he and carlos let go of me. i dusted myself off and went to stand next to evie, well isn't this going to be fun. obviously not. "i feel like, i feel like singing your name!" princey looked at me and smiled brightly, maybe even brighter than before.

jay covered his mouth before princey got the chance to sing anyone's name out loud. all you could hear was a muffled 'al.' yep the potion worked, the rest is up to mal. let's see if she's going to fuck anything up. jay, carlos and princey all began to walk away together, something about coach and the game. yeah i don't have enough energy to care.

"mal..." evie said in a stern voice, mal let out a huff of annoyed and crossed her arms. "thank you for getting him to eat the cookie, we couldn't of have done it without you." did evie really just force her to say that? i didn't know evie had that much power over mal. "yeah don't mention it. i'll see you at the game, bye blue." yeah i'll have to come up with a much better name for evie. what is it with me giving people unnecessary nicknames?

**

i was on the stands with evie and mal as we watched the game, lonnie had saved us seats up front near the cheerleaders. audrey was doing great so far, she didn't seem upset as she cheered for her ex boyfriends team. the crowd was going wild as the team was moving around on the field. so far the other time had us beat by a couple of points, but i'm sure auradon prep can catch up and win. wait who are we even going against?

"you're doing amazing princess!" i yelled at audrey as she looked over at me with eyes that screamed misery. she raised her pom pom things up in the air and cheered with the other cheerleaders. then the announcer guy informed the crowd that coach was now putting just jay in, but carlos in as well. so i take it his session with princey did him well?

see i don't get it, we're all watching guys fight and stomp on each other and we're allowed to enjoy it since they're all good guys. if it were us we'd be sent back to the isle as they boo'd and threw rotten fruit. double standards much? i continued to cheer with the others, despite me not knowing how the fuck you play this game.

the announcer dude announced that there were 23 seconds left, and his commentary on jay, carlos and ben has everyone on the edge of their seats. jay was probably going to win the game for auradon prep, he's real good at this. carlos was okay, not as good as jay but good in his own way. after all he was smaller than the other dudes. and then it happened. the winning goal was scored. princey shot the winning goal. well jay did most of the work, but princey shot the ball in. this game seems like a complicated version of soccer.

the crowd erupted into an burst of excitement as everyone ran down to congratulate their team. lonnie had dragged evie and mal down to congratulate the team as well, though i'm sure they would've done that in their own too considering their friends were on the team. i walked over to see audrey who was congratulating charming. she waved me over and hugged me, which was confusing as i wasn't on the team and did not contribute to them winning.

"good job out there charming. how are you feeling my little perky pink princess." audrey laughed and slapped my arm. "find a nickname for me and stick to it, not just the same one with different variations." okay noted. i turned to look at the team again when i saw princey running towards us. why is he running? wait if he doesn't slow down he's going to run into me and drop me. he's not slowing down, why am i not moving? then it happened. he didn't drop me, no he fucking hugged me and spun me around. what the fuck? what the fuck? what the fuck princey?

"did you see me out there? i have never felt this type of rush ever, you proud of me or what ma poule?" i get the thrill of winning and everything but i've never seen it take over a person like this. "yeah, so proud of you princey. now can you put me down, people are staring." he laughed and set me down before hugging audrey and charming, woah he's really happy. was this like their last game of the season or something?

"ma poule?" audrey asked as princey and charming went to join the team in celebration. "his nickname for me, he said it's french for my friend." audrey smirked like she knew something i didn't. well okay then. "well, i'm gonna go get changed. wait for me here?" audrey grabbed her pom poms and tossed me one. "yeah, i'll be here." i tossed the pom pom back to her and with that she went in the direction the other cheerleaders had gone in.

"it worked!" evie managed to sneak up on me yet again, we need to put a bell on this girl. "ben asked mal on a date!" why is she so excited? i thought she'd be bummed out. "and how does that make you feel?" she rolled her eyes but avoided making eye contact.

"i don't like mal in any other way than just friends." are you telling me or telling yourself? "i never said you liked mal." evie's cheeks went pink yet again as she realized she basically sold herself out. "we'll talk about this tomorrow, i have to go see what i can whip mal up for her date tomorrow. see ya hearts." with that evie was gone yet again, if i were her i wouldn't help the girl i liked get ready for a date. it'll only hurt more like jeez no one deserves the pain of a broken heart.

i didn't realize this before but i was alone. the stands were empty, the field was empty, everyone was gone. the team and the cheerleaders had gone to get changed, the students probably went back to their dorms or to go get dinner.

"hey, what are you still doing here?" i looked over at whoever was speaking to me, ah it was princey. he was still in his uniform, all sweaty and out of breath. i walked over to him and sat down on the stands. "waiting for audrey, what are you doing here?" i asked as he sat next to me. he raised his helmet and tourney stick, "forgot them." how do you forget the most important things you need?

"so you and audrey broke up huh? after dinner, how come?" i already knew the answer, or at least audrey's retelling of why he did what he did. "i'm sure she already filled you in, i have feelings for another person. i couldn't stay with her if i wasn't actually into her. that wouldn't be fair to her." so audrey told the truth, well that sucks for her though. your boyfriend who's about to become king breaks up with you, that really fucking sucks. "well then who do you like?"

princey didn't say anything, he looked deep into my eyes instead. it's almost like he's trying to look into my soul, you don't want that princey as my soul is corrupted compared to yours. his hand was on my knee again, and he moved closer towards me. his head was tilted, almost like he was going to...

"hey v, i'm ready! oh i'm sorry, was i interrupting something?" i looked up and saw audrey approaching us. princey got up so quickly he almost fell. he grabbed his helmet and tourney stick before clearing his throat. "hey audrey, no we were just talking. i'll see you later val." princey began to walk away when audrey stopped him. "you okay? we're gonna go get something to eat, you don't want to come along?" wouldn't that be awkward? going out to eat with your ex right after breaking up.

"uh not today sorry, the teams going out for victory pizza. thanks though, have fun in my absence." with that princey jogged towards the locker rooms leaving audrey and i alone. "okay then, ready to go?" she asked me as i walked towards her.

"yeah..." we began walking towards the dinning hall, but i couldn't shake the thought out of my head. princey wasn't going to... no he wasn't. and even if he was, it's not like i would've returned it. i don't know about him, but i'm straight.
