ROYALTY; DESCENDANTS

SIX

For some reason I forgot that Audrey's mom was Sleeping Beauty and not Snow White...awkward 

Ruby found out that walking through the halls of Auradon Prep was very similar to walking down the streets of The Isle. You had to have tough skin and an even tougher glare to get anywhere. People glared and whispered behind her back, some were too afraid to look in her general direction. It was all amusing to her. 

Her textbooks have grown heavy in her backpack so she decides to head to her locker which was with next to all the other VKs. Mal's purple hair stood out against the blue lockers where she stood and Ruby's red hair most likely did the same. 

"So, how's the new suite princess," Mal asks. There was no envy or venom in her words, just sarcasm at the new nickname.

"It's Queen. And please, they can take a girl from the Isle but they can't take the Isle from the girl. The bed is amazing though" 

Mal's mouth lifted upward slightly but dropped when she saw Audrey. 

"Those kids are trouble" Ruby overhears someone say. She grabs a sticky note and a pen and uses her locker to write on it. 

"Come on Chad, give them a chance" Prince Ben defends. 

"No offense, Bennybear. But you are too trusting. Look, I know your mom fell in love with a big nasty beast who turned out to be a prince. But with my mom, the evil fairy was just an evil fairy. That girl's mother" 

"Hey Audrey!" Ruby says gaining Audrey's and a few others attention. "Catch" 

Ruby tosses a red object at Audrey before walking off. She smirks at sound of her screams. At Audrey's feet was a red rose with a note on it that reads 'Prick Me '. The phrase re-written from Alice's fairytale. 

By the time all her classes were over, Ruby had a splitting headache. She could barely concentrate and everything seemed distant. All she could focus on was the pain and the voices. They were screaming. Screaming what she wasn't sure. It was a mash of voices all talking at once, most of them speaking backwards or in riddles. 

The tap on her shoulder made her react on instinct and swiftly grab the person's wrist, bending it painfully. She turns and sees that the wrist she holds belongs to Doug. She releases his wrists and takes a step back. 

"What do you want?" she asks. 

"I forgot to tell you yesterday that your Princessing 101 class is in the ballroom." 

"And where is that?" 

"Go pass the front entrance, make a left. Go past the library and it will be on your right."

Ruby nods, turns and leaves without any sort of good bye.
