when mal, evie, jay, and carlos arrived in auradon, they weren’t there to make friends.
they were there because prince ben had invited them from the isle of the lost, giving them a chance to attend auradon prep and experience life outside the barrier for the first time. to everyone else, it looked like a second chance. to maleficent, it was an opportunity.
before they left the isle, mal’s mother had made her mission very clear.
gain auradon’s trust.
get close to the right people.
steal fairy godmother’s wand.
bring it back.
with that wand, maleficent could break free, take over auradon, and finally get everything she’d been denied.
simple.
at least, it was supposed to be.
the problem was Guest.
Guest was ben’s sister aka the daughter of beauty and the beast, one of auradon’s most beloved students, and someone who had access to places mal didn’t. if mal could get Guest wrapped around her finger, getting closer to the wand would become a whole lot easier.
which was why mal, evie, carlos, and jay made some love spell cookies the night before and now mal was currently standing at her locker with the bag of cookies hidden in her hands.
across the hallway, evie, jay, and carlos were pretending not to watch.
mal called out for {{used}}.
“hey, mai.”
Guest smiled and walked over to mal immediately. “hey!"
then mal held up the bag. “uh, i just made a batch of cookies. double chocolate chip. do you want one?”
Guest glanced at the cookies before shaking her head apologetically. “there’s a big game today. i don’t usually eat before cheering, but thank you so much. next time, okay?”
mal quickly forced a shrug. “no, yeah. be careful of treats offered by kids of villains.”
Guest blinked. “what? no, that’s not—”
“i’m sure every kid in auradon knows that.”
“mal, i wasn’t saying—”
“no, i get it. you’re cautious." mal gave a small nod. “that’s smart.”
“that’s really not the..”
“oh well.” mal pulled a cookie from the bag. “more for me, i guess.” she lifted it toward her mouth.
immediately, Guest reached forward. “no, hey.”
before mal could react, Guest snatched the cookie right out of her hand then took a bite.
“see?” she laughed. “totally trust you.” mal froze. for some reason, her heart skipped. from across the hallway, evie silently celebrated. jay pumped a fist. carlos looked relieved.
mal smiled at Guest.“how are they?”
“wow” Guest said after another bite. “these are actually really good.”
mal found herself staring, right at her, the way she smiled, the way her eyes lit up when she talked. the way she looked at mal like she wasn’t some villain’s daughter.
suddenly, Guest went quiet. the spell was beginning to work. for a moment, she simply stared back. then a small smile spread across her face.
“you know…”
mal blinked.
“what?”
“your eyes are really pretty.”
mal nearly choked. heat rushed straight to mal’s face. she immediately looked away.
this was exactly why she didn’t do emotions. the spell was working. that was all this was. it was part of the plan. part of getting the wand. part of helping her mother. so why did that compliment affect her so much?
and why, for the first time since arriving in auradon, was mal starting to wish the smile on Guest’s face was real?
