It's Friday, which means student attention is at an all-time low. Georgie glances around her business class trying to stay as engaged in the lesson as possible. Tiana is the best teacher in the school hands down—not only is she the owner of the most prestigious restaurant chain in Auradon, but she is also a business consultant to the crown because of how well she's managed her money and restaurants. She's somewhat of an idol to Georgie. But on the Friday of the first week of school, it's as if she forgotten how to pay attention. Jay sitting beside her is leaned all the way back in his chair taking up more room than Georgie thinks is possible for someone who's seated. Somehow, she managed to convince Jay to sit near the front of the class. Ben and Audrey are only a few rows over from them, and Ben shoots her an awkward smile. He still hasn't decided what to do about Audrey, which Georgie thinks is a good thing because she doesn't want him to rush anything or make any decisions on a whim.

"We've only got a few minutes until the bell so we're going to get a head start on next week. I want all of you to get into pairs," several of the students look at one another dramatically at her mention of picking pairs. "At the end of the month, each pair is going to present a pitch for a new product. The focus is on the marketing, so don't worry too much about re-inventing the wheel."

Chad can be heard saying, "Dang it," from the back of the classroom causing him to get more than a few side eyes.

"So, take the rest of the class to get into pairs, I know everyone's a little sleepy on their first week back. And if anyone doesn't have a partner, come up to me in the front and we'll find you somebody."

Naturally, Audrey is already clung onto Ben's arm. Poor Ben, thinks Georgie. If he breaks up with her in the middle of their project it's not going to turn out very well. Not to mention them having a project together is going to force Ben to spend more time with Audrey even though he wants space. Georgie turns the other way towards Jay. "Partners?"

Jay looks puzzled. "Won't I mess up your grades or something Student Council President?"

"On the contrary, I think you could come up with some pretty cool ideas, so if you think about it, I'm just using you for the grades," she says sarcastically.

Jay laughs. "Looks like I'm going to be carrying this team and the tourney team then." Georgie rolls her eyes but a smile still remains plastered on her face.

The two of them discuss some ideas until the lunch bell rings. Everyone in the class begins to pack up their stuff and trickle out. Jay goes to exit but Georgie catches up to him quickly, throwing her bag over her shoulder as she goes. "Hey, Jay, wait up!" He pauses for a moment to allow her to catch up. "Did you want to have lunch with me? Unless you have plans then I can go sit with Ben or something."

"I was going to go chat up the cheerleaders' table but I guess I could settle for you instead," teases Jay.

Georgie scoffs, pretending to be offended. "Keep dreaming."

"I will."

At lunch, Jay gets such an enormous helping of food that she can't help but wonder where it all goes or how he manages to eat that much in one sitting. They eat for a while, discussing what they think may be on the dinner menu that day. Jay shovels more food into his mouth but then raises a hand to wave at someone behind Georgie. She turns around to see that it's Aziz, the son of Jasmine and Aladdin. He's a senior, meaning that he's one year older than both Jay and Georgie. She feels heat rush to her cheeks. She doesn't have a crush-crush on Aziz per se, more like a hallway crush. "You know him?"

"Uh, dude, of course I do we're on the tourney team together—wait aren't you supposed to know like everyone around here Miss Student Body President?" Jay notices the colour on her cheeks. He leans into the table with a menacing look on his face. "Oh-h-h, you like him. That's why my irresistible charm didn't work on you."

"That's not why," states Georgie flatly.

Ignoring the girl's statement, Jay continues with an evil smirk on his face. He goes to get up and leave the table, "I can talk to him for you if you want—"

"No!" shouts Georgie too loudly. She glances around and notices people staring at her so she begins to whisper harshly. "Sit back down."

There's a dangerous glint in Jay's eyes as he makes her sweat for a moment before sitting back down. "Message received loud and clear," he teases brightly. "But seriously, why not just go ask the guy out?"

"Look, I think he's cute. That's it. He's just a little hallway crush, besides, he's a senior and he'll be gone next year."

"So?"

Georgie sighs and puts her head in her hands. "You stress me out."

Lunch with Jay gets Georgie thinking, if he and Aziz have managed to become friends—or at the very least friendly—with one another, how is it that Audrey seems to be going the complete other way with Mal? She'll have to ask Ben how they got talking with one another because he probably witnessed it happen at tourney. That also reminds her to start asking around about where Lonnie's been. She hasn't responded to any of Georgie's texts about fencing. So on her mind is to find out what in goodness is going on with Lonnie, talk to Ben, and she also needs to arrange for a cleaning company to come clean the dorms before Parents Day for the Student Council.

Walking through the halls, Georgie finally makes it to her room. She opens the door, but as soon as she does, the sound of crying reaches her ears. She closes the door carefully behind her, spotting Audrey crying in front of her vanity in the process. Her cheeks are tear-stained and her mascara is running down her face.

The first thing to flash through Georgie's mind is to wonder whether or not Ben's broken up with her. "Audrey? You okay?"

Audrey looks up and spots the reflection of her roommate in her mirror. The blank look turns to one of rage and fury, and Audrey unexpectedly stands up from her stool and stomps over to where Georgie is. Startled by Audrey's quick advance, Georgie's fencing instincts kick in and she takes a step back. Unfortunately, she takes a step back into the door and hits her head on it hard. "You keep ruining my life," seethes Audrey through gritted teeth. "First when you moved here from New-wherever and became Ben's best friend and took my place. And now you're what? Telling him to stay away from me. Is that it?"

Georgie doesn't have the slightest clue as to what her roommate is talking about. From the sounds of it, Ben hasn't broken up with her. "What are you talking about?"

"You're clearly trying to sabotage Ben and I's relationship by telling him things about me and it's making him distant!"

After all the work Georgie's done over the years to stay out of Ben and Audrey's relationship, the thing she's worked so desperately to avoid is happening; Audrey is going absolutely crazy on her. She takes a breath, not wanting the conversation to turn into a yelling match. "Look Audrey, I stay out of your's and Ben's relationship. I don't say anything to him about you. So if you think he's acting distant, I suggest you go and talk to him."

Audrey pauses for a moment and backs out of Georgie's face a bit. "Like I believe you." With that, Audrey reaches for the door handle and Georgie moves out of her way so she can exit the room.

Georgie is angry. Her mother always told her that anger is a good emotion to feel—it's healthy to be angry once and a while and it shows that you care—but Georgie can't see an upside to it. In an attempt to distract herself, Georgie turns to the tasks she was thinking of doing before she came in the room: tracking down Lonnie and texting Ben.

Sunday is a quiet day at the dorms. While most students do activities on Saturday, it seems that Sunday has become the day when everyone does the homework they neglected the day before. Georgie walks back to her dorm room after a day in the libraries. While she likes the ambiance of the library, she tends to stick to the louder level so she can take breaks, chat with people, and have background noise. She digs through her purse, phone, wallet... Georgie curses in her head when she realizes she's forgotten her key once again. That's the third one since the start of school. She's going to smash her old record of keys lost if she keeps this up. She knows exactly where it is too, it's sitting in her room on her dresser next to her sunglasses that she put there so she wouldn't forget them; turns out she just ended up leaving both.

Luckily, Georgie spots Audrey on the fourth floor not too far from the room. "Oh, Audrey, thank goodness. Can you let me into the room? I forgot my key in there."

"Sorry, no can do. There's no way to verify it's the real you, Georgia. I'm going to be a future Queen Consort and it's a safety risk." Audrey has always been creative with her insults, but this is a new level. "Tootles." She blows her a kiss and turns on her heel, walking away from the room and down the stairs.

"Come on Audrey, it's me!" calls Georgie. When Audrey doesn't even turn around, Georgie flops her arms by her side. She doesn't want to have to explain to Fairy Godmother how she's now lost a third key—well misplaced since it's locked inside the room— because Fairy Godmother can be scary. And she really doesn't like when students misplace things, nor was she happy when Georgie replaced her key twice the past week.

An idea strikes Georgie's mind and she walks down the stairs.

Jay is bored. Homework has never really been his style so while Carlos is working away at his homework Jay is busy attempting to do the same while actually staring out the window.

Hmph.

Jay kicks Carlos under the table. Carlos looks up from the book he's been immersed in with offence. "What was that for?"

"You made a noise."

"No, I didn't," sasses back Carlos, returning to his book. Jay finds it odd because he swears he heard something. He stares at Carlos wearily, not totally convinced he didn't make the noise, and then returns to his book while staring at his friend over the top of the pages.

Phew.

This time Jay swears he heard something, and he knows it isn't Carlos because he didn't move his lips. "Did you hear that?" Carlos looks at Jay as if he's gone crazy and doesn't even bother responding.

Oof.

Upon the sound reaching his ears, he looks at Carlos, thinking that he has to have heard that sound. But Carlos hasn't moved a muscle in his face but he stands up and leaves the room, presumably headed to Mal and Evie's room. Jay knows it's coming from by the windows. Frustrated and wanting to find the source of the sound, he sticks his head out the open window. But he doesn't see anything. There are no students in the grass areas near his window because he backs onto the forest side of the building.

That is, he doesn't see anything until he looks directly down and slightly to the left. "Georgie?" Jay's jaw drops when he sees Georgie scaling the building, currently somewhere between the third and fourth.

Jay sees Georgie look up at him, blowing a piece of her hair out of the way so she can get a clearer look at him. "Hi Jay," she says casually. Jay isn't sure if he should be impressed that she's climbing, worried she's going to fall, or freaked out by how casual she sounds.

Jay leans even further out the window. "What are you doing?"

"I'm a damsel, I'm in distress, I can handle this. Have a nice day," she quips before she resumes climbing as if nothing has happened. She is close to reaching the ledge that goes around the building just underneath his window. He's surprised at how fast she's managed to climb.

"Right, I get it, you've got it handled, but why are you climbing the dorm building?"

Georgie lets out a light chuckle. "I forgot my key, and Audrey won't let me into our room because she said she can't 'verify it's me'."

"Can't you just get a replacement key?"

"I've already lost my key twice and I had to ask—hmph—Fairy Godmother to replace it, twice. I'm not asking her a third time, she's scary when she's angry." Georgie finally reaches the ledge under Jay's window and she hoists herself up to sit on it. She dusts off her hands and wipes her forehead.

"Won't you get hurt if you fall?"

Georgie glances down at the gardens two stories below them. "Oh, yeah, totally. I'd break a limb or two and a couple of ribs."

Just when Jay thinks he has this girl figured out, he always seems to realize he doesn't. His first impression of her was that she's the preppy Student Council President who is so good it's nauseating, but he's come to realize she's not afraid to get her hands dirty and isn't fake like he expected her to be. "How'd you learn to climb like that?"

"My mum made me take rock climbing lessons as a kid, especially free climbing. She had to climb up this really tall building where I'm from that's like, five tourney fields tall, to rescue my dad from a dragon."

Jay likes the sound of Georgie's mom. He didn't expect that someone from Auradon would think knowing how to do things like fight and climb are important. Georgie goes to start her climb again but she can't seem to find a good spot to go off of. While Jay and the other Villain kids are planning to bring the wand back to their parents, it seems extra cruel to let Georgie fall off a building too. "Why don't you come inside, I've got another way we can get into your room."

Reluctantly, Georgie agrees and climbs into Jay's window. Jay looks out the door to see if any people are around before inviting Georgie out after him. They walk up a flight of stairs and reach Georgie's door.

"Stand on guard and let me know if anyone is coming. And don't tell anyone I did this." Digging into his pockets, Jay finds the right tools he needs. Since the room is at a dead end of a hallway anyway, Georgie moves so that she can block the view of Jay with her body.

With her back turned to Jay, Georgie nervously bounces on the balls of her feet not wanting to be caught. "Are you sure you can open it? I mean Fairy Godmother probably put some sort of anti-lockpicking spell on the doors." Even though Jay has been finished opening the door for a few moments now, he stands up in amusement, listening to the girl ramble. "Last thing I need is for her to turn me into a pumpkin—how long have you been done for?"

Jay gives a smug smile. "A while now." Georgie glares at him, yet sure enough she pushes on her door handle it opens up. The two of them step into the room, Jay trailing behind her. He takes in the sights of the room. Immediately he can tell which side belongs to which roommate. Audrey's side is extremely neat with a lot of pink and frills. Her vanity is covered with beauty products and there's a few pictures of her and Ben. On the other side, Georgie's stuff is mostly blue, and it's messier in an organized chaos kind of way but still neat. Georgie's side also has a lot more pictures, her wall is practically covered with them.

"Welcome to my humble abode, feel free to take a look around."

Intrigued by the photo wall, Jay moves closer to it. There's a picture of Georgie at her sister's wedding, one of her hugging another Auradon student in her fencing attire, another picture of the same two holding a trophy, several pictures of her and Ben as children, and many photos with two people Jay figures to be her parents. He notices that Georgie looks more like her dad than her mom, she didn't inherit any of the freckles or red hair that her mom has. Jay turns to look at the rest of the room. "You and Audrey really have a different sense of taste."

"Oh, you don't know the half of it."

"How did you two even end up becoming roommates anyways?" Jay can't wrap his head around how the two girls got matched up to be roommates, never mind how neither has asked for a room transfer over the course of the two years they've lived together.

"I think Ben had something to do with it. But she has her moments, she's not always like that. Sure, she can be a little stuck up, and annoying, and doesn't really like me. But she can be sincere from time to time."

From what Jay has seen, he doesn't know why Georgie would say Audrey isn't that bad. Not only has Audrey been completely rude to her, but Georgie also didn't seem to like her. "Really? She doesn't seem the type."

"I know she's done some pretty bad stuff but I don't think she's a bad person. A bad influence, yes, but a bad person, no. The world isn't black and white...it's grey. It's just like how being Auradon doesn't make you automatically good and being from the Isle doesn't make you automatically bad."

The words resonate with Jay. Not that he would tell the other Villain kids, but he's been enjoying it in Auradon, especially tourney. If people as good as Georgie and Ben don't think everyone from the Isle is bad, maybe they've got a point. Either way, Jay is grappling with himself, 'evil' is the only identity he's ever known, it's what he's always been told to be. But what if it's not what he wants to be? "Do you really think that? That not all of us on the Isle are bad?"

Georgie shakes her head sincerely. "With all my heart. And I don't say stuff like that lightly, you know how much I like sarcasm. You've been nicer to me than some of the people who I've known for years. So, bad? I don't buy it one bit. Sarcastic and a player? Sure. But not bad."

Jay really doesn't know what to say. He isn't often left speechless, especially in front of girls. "...thanks Georgie." There's a pause and Jay looks into her eyes for any hint she's pulling some big prank or lying to him, but no such hint can be found. "I uh, I gotta go do homework or something. Thanks, Georgie."

Georgie clears her throat. "No, thank you for letting me into my room."

Jay gives a sheepish smile and begins the not-far journey back to his room. Jay finds that Carlos has returned from wherever he went and is back sitting at the table, still reading the same book. "Dude, where'd you go?"

"Oh, uh, Georgie was trying to climb up the building because she forgot her key so I picked her lock instead so she wouldn't keep climbing."

Carlos looks at him for a moment before growing frustrated. "Come on Jay, you gotta stop making stuff up like that."

"I'm not lying!"

"Yeah right, Jay. First of all, you hanging out with Georgie? Please. Just because you have class with her doesn't mean I'll believe it." Jay goes to interrupt but Carlos stops him, "—op, I'm not done. And then you expect me to believe she's climbing up the side of the building?"

Jay goes to retort back but just ends up shrugging his shoulders, giving up. He doesn't know how to prove the recent events actually happened. They do sound pretty crazy, and Jay realises he does pull a lot of pranks and jokes on Carlos. Maybe he needs to lay off of those, maybe he should be nicer to Carlos? Jay stops his line of thinking, interrupting his own thoughts. Is this really what it's come to? He's been in Auradon for a week and now he's thinking about being nicer to Carlos? Man, something must be in the water here, thinks Jay. He decides to drink more juice next week instead.
