Third Person's POV
Bleachers

"I could really use a tough guy like you. The team's a bunch of princes, well except for Estella. Only because her father requested that she was put on the team. Except for her the team's full of guys. If you know what I mean." Coach Jenkins says to Jay as he was surprised to hear that Estella was on the team.

"Your telling me. It's all, 'after you, old chum. Pardon me, did I bump into you'". Where I come from it's, 'prepare to die sucker!" As my father sys, 'the only way to win', is to make everyone else lose!" Jay says pumping his fists in the air as Estella watches from a distance. She sees better from a distance, maybe that's because she grew up around ships.

"Jay! Jay! Jay! Jay!" Coach Jenkins says bringing the bot back from his punching the air.

"You rip..." Jay says out of the blue as Stella chuckles a little at what he said.

"Let me explain a team. Uh, it's like a family." Coach says going to explain but Jay stops him.

"You do not want to be at my house at dinner time." Jay says as Stella nods her head a little as she could relate. Her family is huge mainly on her mom's side.

"Okay, okay, um.... You know how a body has a lot of different parts? The lefs, elbows, ears. But they all need each other. Well, that's what a team is....different players who work together to win. Make any sense?" Coach says as Stella leaves as she knows what's going to happen next. He'll get his jersey.

Jay looked like he understood what the coach was saying as he had a wide smile on his face. "Can I be the fist?"

After Jay got his jersey he smiled brighter when he saw Stella. He caught up to her.

"Hi." He says as Stella turns to him as she then looked at his new jersey.

"Congrats on making the team." Stella says as she leads him to her room. Where he saw ber jersey hanging on the wall.

"When did you make the team?" Jay asks as he sat onto her desk which she didn't mind as she sometimes does it too.

"Last year. But I a month ago." Stella says as Jay looks at her confused.

"Why that?" He asks as she looks down sadly to her feet.

"Not by choice. I was going to be....um...Queen. Well of my people, that is." Stella says as she touches her jersey sadly as its a number one.

"Oh." Jay says as he makes his way towards her not knowing what to do.

"I don't want to be Queen. That means I have to be told what to do. Live my life the way they want to. Not how I want to live it. I will be controlled of every little thing I do. Basically if I breathe wrong I'll get in trouble. It's a lot of stress." Stella says ranting a little as Jay lets her rant and say what she wants to.

"I'm sorry about that." Jay says to her as she sighs as she looks out her window.

"Your just saying that to make me feel better. Are you?" Stella asks as Jay thought about it before shaking his head at her. Which confused her.

"I know what it's like. You see back on the island. My father wouldn't let me do anything I wanted to do. He always told me that I had to do what he wants me to do. I didn't listen and I did my thing." Jay says as Stella looks at him.

"Yeah but if I do that. Do you want to know how much trouble I'll be in?" Stella says as she huffs a little as she brushes her hands through her hair.

"Don't you have any siblings?" He asks as he nods her head. "How old?"

"Twelve. But lucky me I'm the oldest, and have no say in it. Unless, you want to get shunned by the town folk. Then go ahead." Stella says sarcastically to him as he chuckles a little at her sarcasm as he never heard it.

"Yeah you have no way out of it." Jay says as she groans as she sits on her bed as he sat beside her as he put his hand onto her shoulder.

"Thank you for clearing up my life." Stella says as Jay chuckles at her.

"It's going to be okay, trust me." Jay says to her as she looks at him like he's crazy.

"How's that?" Stella asks him confused as he has a small smile.

"Because I'll be there every step of the way." Jay says as Stella smiled and she meant it too. Well that's an extra bonus. She leaned her head onto his shoulder and he brought her into his arms.

Mal and Evie's room

----

Jay walked to Mal and Evie's room he had a smile on his face. He doesn't know if it's his jersey or before he left Stella kissed him.

"Yo-ho-ho!" Jay says as he opened the door and also saw Sabrina sitting next to Carlos on the ground. She looked like she woke up from a nap as she yawned.

"Hey, Jay." Sabrina says to Jay as he smiled at her, then he turned to Mal.

"Did your plan with Jane work? Are you goimg over to see the wand?" Jay asks as Sabrina can sense an argument coming. She's really sensitive about that because she grew up with it.

"Do you think that I would be going through every single spell in this book? If I hadn't completely struck out?" Mal says growing annoyed as Sabrina covers her ears as Carlos brings her to his arms. Protecting her. Like he always had.

"Oh someone's in a bad mood." Jay says as Carlos rubs Sabrina's back to calm her down.

"My mom's counting on me! I can't let her down!" Mal says as she throws a pencil at Jay and he moved out of the way.

"We can do this.... if we stick together." Jay says as Carlos caressed Sabrina's hair as she sadly sighs.

"...and we won't go back until we do. Because we're rotten...." Mal says starting their mantra.

"To the core." The rest of them say as Sabrina says quieter than the others.

"Oh, yeah. I found out that the fairy godmother blesses Ben with the wand at the coronation and we all get to go. I have nothing to wear, of course." Evie says as Mal got up and was pacing around and she turned to Evie with an idea. "What?" Evie says confused.

"Hold that thought." Mal says as the door knocked and Mal walked towards it. She opened the door and saw Ben.

"Hey, Mal. I didn't see you guys today. I was just wondering if you had any questions or anything....That....you needed..." Ben says as Mal looked back at the others before shaking her head.

"Not that I know of." Mal says giving Ben a tight-lipped smile and he nodded his head.

"Okay. All right. Well, uh, if you need anything, just, uh...." Ben says as Mal went to close the door but then she remembered something.

"Oh, wait! Um, is it true that we all get to go to your coronation?" Mal asks as Sabrina gives Mal a look as she shakes her head.

"Yeah, the whole school goes." Ben says with a nod confirming her question.

"Wow. That's beyond excexciting. Do you think that it's a possibility that the five of us could stand in the front row next to the fairy godmother, just so we could soak up all that goodness?" Mal says as Ben listens to what she says before shaking his head no.

"I wish I could. Up front it's just me, my folks, and my girlfriend." Ben says as Mal had a bummed look as she scrunched up her eyebrows at him.

"....and your girlfriend?" Mal says confused as Ben nods his head at her.

"Yeah, I'm sorry." Ben says as Mal nods understanding as Sabrina rolls her eyes at this. As she knows the cards Mal is playing.

"Okay, thanks. Bye." Mal says before she slammed the door in his face, as Sabrina gives her a look.

"Oh, but, no  there's plenty of...." Ben says in protest.

"Well, that's nice of you Mal, slamming the door in his face." Sabrina says sarcastically at her and the purple haired girl rolls her eyes and Sabrina.

"I think it's time that Bennyboo got himself a new girlfriend. .... and I need a love spell." Mal says as Sabrina puts her head into her lap wanting to get out of this situation.
