《Watch and Learn》Chapter 13

"How did you get Evie's mirror?" Kitty asked, turning to her older brother.
"None of your business," Chad shot back. However, his refusal to answer was noticed by both his mother and father.
"Chad Charming, you will answer," Cinderella said, glaring slightly at her son.
"I saw it in her bag when I was borrowing a pencil," Chad shrugged. "She shouldn't have had it in class, it's cheating."
"So you stole it?"
"I was doing everyone a favor. It wasn't fair to everyone else who studied if she could just look up the answer."
"Oh and how about all the guys you paid to take the test for you while you were 'sick'?" Kitty shot back. "And let's not forget about all the girls you got to do your homework.
"Also isn't stealing against the rules at Auradon Prep?" Jay asked. "You're not any better than us even if you're stealing from us."
"What?!" Mal exclaimed, turning to Evie. "You never told me about that!"
"I forgot," Evie said, looking sheepish. "Your date with Ben was more pressing."
"Next time something like this happens, you tell me," Mal told her, grabbing Evie's hand.
"Thank you Doug," Ben said and Mal sighed softly, her shoulders sagging in relief. The teacher would trust Doug's word at least.
"I'm with Doug on this one," Eugene muttered.
"She's frightened," Aladdin muttered back. "I bet you weren't that great of a smooth talker when you first started out."
"And I would have rejected the proposal to have her expelled," Fairy Godmother told the room. "First off, this would have been Evie's first offense that I would be aware of so expulsion would be too strict. Also, knowing that the teacher said this before a test would have meant that the result of said test would have been based off of a student not mentally prepared for the test."
"Thank you Fairy Godmother," Evie said, giving the headmistress a kind smile.
"Hey, did you ever get your mirror back?" Evan asked.
"Yeah, I did," Evie nodded. "I keep it in my room now, only using it if I need help on homework—and that's only for a last resort."
"Evie, if you want, Doug and I have a study group," Ben said, looking over at his girlfriend's best friend. "Tuesdays and Thursdays, if you want to join."
"I'd love too!" Evie beamed.

"Chad's asking for it," Macaria chuckled.
"We can let Ben handle it," Hyllus told her. "We've got enough on our plates, looking after Herkie and making sure he doesn't hurt anyone again."
"Yeah, dad wouldn't like it if he got another call about a broken arm," Macaria nodded. "It's not our little brother's fault though. Doesn't know his own strength."
"Hence why we're looking after him."
"WHOO!" Rachel exclaimed.
"Go Evie!" Dizzy cheered, a big grin on her face for the girl who was practically an older sister. Sure she had Ava but she was a cousin. Aunt Ana made sure Ava spent her time away from the shop. Anthony, Ava's brother, was almost like the Isle's version of Chad.
"Told you you could do it," Mal said with a smirk.
"Even if my pumpkin head of a brother caused you to have a super amount of stress right before it," Kitty added on.
Snow White gave her step-sister a small smile. She was so happy to see Evie doing so well.
"Do you think you would have gotten an A if Mr. Deley hadn't said anything?" Morgan asked.
"No," Evie shook her head. "I get really nervous when I take tests—mother never cared about marks on homework but if I scored higher than a C+, she got really mad. Of course, if I failed, she got furious; always saying that a princess never failed anything. A C was always the best choice."
"It helped that our teachers never gave us As," Carlos pointed out. "A B+ was the highest anyone ever got."
"True."
"No she wasn't," Audrey scoffed. Surprisingly though, many people just ignored her. Not even Phillip Jr. gave her a reaction causing her to pout.
"Well since Mr. Deley won't be threatening expulsion, I'd take that bet," Jay said with a smile.
"Awww!" Dizzy squealed. "You got your prince, Evie!"
Doug flushed. "I'm not a prince."
Dizzy rolled her eyes. "Aunt Ana always said her husband was her prince, even though he wasn't royalty."
"Anastasia got married?" Ben asked, shooting a look at Cinderella who was looking at Dizzy with rapt attention.
"Yeah," Dizzy nodded. "I don't know his name but he's a baker here in Auradon. Ava and Anthony get letters from him every year on their birthday plus he sends care packages with fresh baked bread."
"We've had some," Mal chimed in. "It's really good."

"Ava's a two years older than Mal so she always gives her birthday package to us," Evie explained. "She's also the only one Jay hasn't stolen from."
"Dad can't exactly sell bread," Jay shrugged.
"Seriously?" Dizzy groaned, causing Evie to chuckle.
"You'll change your tune soon enough."
"SERIOUSLY?!" Dizzy squealed.
"I think people on the Isle heard that," Mal winced, rubbing her ear. Evie chuckled.
"Was it that bad?" Ben asked, looking at Mal. He didn't want her to feel worried or anxious about going out with him.
"No," Mal told him. "I'd just never gone on a date before and you are the future king. I didn't know what sort of reaction there'd be. Speaking of which, why didn't you have any security on our date?"
"Gave them the day off," Ben said with a smirk.
"Ben!"
"What mom?" Ben asked, turning to his mother. "I'm sure Brad and James didn't want to spend time on a teenager's date anyway. Brad had his daughter's piano recital and James' sister had just given birth. I think that's more important."
"You are the future king Ben," Evie pointed out. "Your security is paramount."
"I was with Mal," Ben said with a smile. "Nothing bad could happen when I'm with her."
"Okay, someone give him an antidote quick," Emir muttered, causing Ben to smirk. "Those lovey dovey lines are going to make me sick."
Many of the people of Auradon couldn't help but chuckle at the two girls' conversation. It felt like two regular girls getting ready for an important event, not the daughters of two of their worst villains.
"Aww!" Some of the younger girls sighed at the thought of having a love like that.
"They do know Ben's under a love spell, right?" Evan whispered to Emir, who shrugged in response.
"I thought she was joking," Rachel whispered to Evan. "When Evie said that earlier."
"Is that really something she would joke about?" Evan whispered back.
Aurora couldn't help but smile at the idea of her fairy godmother doling out make up tips. Such an idea was not one that came easily.
"That is true," Snow nodded.
"She tried to have you killed," Ferdinand reminded her.
"Would you say attempted murder is a barrel of laughs?" Snow asked and giggled as Ferdinand shook his head.
Snow perked up at the question, interested to see what her step sister would say.
Snow White couldn't help but look at her step sister with sadness in her eyes and in her heart. It seemed as though Evie had a similar childhood to hers. No child should fear their mother.
"Snow, what are you thinking?" Her husband whispered to her.
"I have to help her, Ferdinand," Snow whispered back to him. "We have plenty of room in our castle, perhaps she could stay the summer?"
"You are kind hearted, Snow, but can we risk it? It's the child of the Evil Queen—who knows if she's being sincere or just acting?"
Snow raised an eyebrow. "Why is it that everyone forgets that I was also raised by the Evil Queen? My father died when I was seven after all."
Ferdinand bowed his head. "I'm sorry Snow. I shouldn't have brought it up."
"The Evil Queen has done harm to me and the dwarves," Snow told him. "I know you are angry on my behalf, Ferdinand but Evie has done nothing but be born. She and Emma and Neal may get along—and if not, at least Evie will have friends here."
"As if that witch knows anything about love," Queen Leah scoffed.
"Mother," Aurora warned.
"Briar, not here," Philip whispered. While Aurora was her given name, his wife had spent her life being known as Briar Rose, and so felt more comfortable being addressed as such. To keep up appearances though, Philip only called her that in private.
"Nice subject change," Zephyr muttered. He couldn't help but feel bad for the girls—he couldn't imagine being afraid of his parents.
Some of the younger girls couldn't help but chuckle at that—it reminded them of their reactions to their mothers getting their hair done.
"Mal, you look amazing!" Dizzy squealed.
"Hideous and Mal do not deserve to be in the same sentence," Grace whispered to Melody. "I wonder if she could teach us some tricks."
"Grace, you look amazing," Melody told her. "I think it'll be a while before we have to worry about that sort of thing."
"Burn!" Philip Jr. whispered to himself. He loved his sister, don't get him wrong, but that was too good to miss.
"We don't really have bikes on the Isle," Mal explained.
"If we find them, they're not safe to use," Evie added on. "Most of us just get by with walking."
"Seriously?" Mal raised an eyebrow at her best friend.
"What?" Evie smiled innocently causing Mal to roll her eyes.
