A Story to Die For (Ben X OC)

Love Potion and Revenge

3rd person

"Your Aunt Sally seems really nice." Ben said as they continued to walk back to campus. Cassandra smiled at his compliment, knowing that it was a genuine one.

"Yeah, she is." Cassandra said as she remembered the first time they met. "She has helped a lot, even showed me how to walk across a tightrope." The girl said with a laugh. It was true in her other life Aunt Sally would perform that act many times, but it soon came to an end by an alligator.

"You should show me sometime then." Ben suggested. Cassandra couldn't help but notice his face began to blush as an idea popped into mind.

"I think you just want to spend more time with me, Benny-boo." Cassandra said as she lightly pushed the prince. "We both know Audrey and Mal won't be too happy with us spending so much time with each other." the girl pointed out. She was having yet another mental debate as she tried to convince herself that she was speaking the truth; Audrey is his girlfriend, and Mal has a crush on him. The relationship was one that was tricky to handle even if Auradon claims they were ready for change. Starting off, she was a ghost who is older than Ben with that information alone they will be the talk of the kingdom. As the trees began to clear and the school came into view, Cassandra's steps began to be faster than his as she wanted to put some distance between her and the prince. Not only is Cassandra concerned about her love life, but she was also worried about accomplishing her goal of lifting her home's curse. Cassandra walked towards her dorm, not bothering to listen to the words Ben shouted to her as his voice was now out of range. As she quickly got into her room, the girl changed into some jeans and a simple plain white t-shirt; making sure everything looked fine for today's game. Cassandra opened her bedroom door, revealing Ben on the other side of it.

"You ready?" Ben questioned. A look of confusion was on Cassandra's face as he had never done this before, at least without someone with him. "I want to hang out with you, Cassandra." Ben said, giving me a smile. The girl couldn't help but return one back to him as they walked together to his locker. He asked her questions about home and vice versa; the more they talked, the more Cassandra felt comfortable with him.

"I'm telling you, Ben, Prudence is thankful that she is my housemaid. I am way better than Little Leota." Cassandra said proudly. Ben just laughed at the statement as the two came to a stop at his locker. Cassandra's attention was caught by two girls who shouted as Mal and the others stopped by her locker. Cassandra couldn't help but be amazed that the daughter of Maleficent was actually making friends without even knowing it. Soon, the sound of heels clicking against the pavement towards them came. Cassandra knew it was Audrey as she rolled her eyes, knowing a headache would come around once the girl decided to say a word.

"Do you think they actually paid for those?" Audrey questioned as Chad stood beside her. The four of them turned to see Jay speaking to a group of girls. Cassandra recognized a few of them, noticing that Audrey was talking about their new hairstyles. "She did it to Jane's hair too, and Fairy Godmother's not happy about it." Audrey added as she glanced at Cassandra.

"Well, Jane wouldn't have done that in the first place, but no, you just had to make fun of her." Cassandra said, taking a step forward towards the girl. On the other hand, Ben tried to defuse the issue as he looked over to his girlfriend.

"What's the harm?" Ben asked as he didn't see a problem with Mal practicing her magic on the other students.

"It's gateway magic! Sure, it starts with the hair. Next thing you know It's the lips and the legs and the clothes and then everybody looks good and then... where will I be?" Audrey complained as she looked for any sympathy towards her so-called problem.

"Listen, Audrey..." Ben began to say only to get interrupted by his girlfriend. The prince wanted to say so many things to the daughter of Sleeping Beauty, but it was hopeless as she silenced him with a kiss. Cassandra looked at her nails in boredom as she couldn't showcase her emotions about the situation.
