Ben's POV:
Chad and I share a dorm room. Ever since I became King, I had to sleep in my own 'private' quarters, or so I've been told by one of my butlers. The location of my room is unknown to any student in Auradon, in fear of my safety, it was situated where no student would ever look. Even Mal didn't know where my room was. She asked me once - she was always curious about it, since she knew that every student must have a room to sleep in. I couldn't tell her, no matter how badly I wanted to. And I mean it when I said I really wanted to tell her. I had this dream where it was just Mal and I in my room snuggling under a blanket and watching a movie with the curtains closed, the door locked, her head pressed closely to my chest, she's feeding me popcorn, telling me she loves me...
Anyway, no one knew where my room was. So how did Chad climb into my window in the early hours of the morning?
"Hey man." He said casually as he shut the window after climbing in. My eyes nearly popped out of my head. I pointed dumbly to the window. "What? ... How..." I shook my head. Forget about it, just ask him what he's doing here. I started to open my mouth, but he stopped me.
"Oh yeah, if you're wondering why I'm here," He started. I closed my mouth. "My sis wants to spend some time with you first before the ball."
What? "Aren't we going to spend some time together at the ball?" I answered, standing up.
Chad rubbed his neck with a pained look on his face. "My sis was over the moon when she found out that you are the King of Auradon." I sighed and sank back into my bed. Great, a girl who's only interested in my status. "Brilliant." I answered sarcastically. Chad dropped to his knees. "Please, please, please, please..." I looked at him with agitated eyes. Here he was, awaking me from my peaceful sleep, and asking me for another favour. I'm usually not a big fan of sleeping, but my duties as king were exhausting, not to mention tedious.
"Alright, alright! Where does she want to meet?" I said, frustrated. If i could just get this meeting with Chad's sister over with, he wouldn't bother me again... Because I really felt like strangling him.
Chad stood up, rubbing his neck. "Well, she wants you to come to Charmington." He said slowly. I stood frozen in my spot on my bed. Charmington? As in, Charmington?
My hands nearly went for his neck.
Are you kidding me? Are you KIDDING me?!
"There's absolutely no way that I'm going to Charmington." I crossed my arms and huffed.
There was this devious grin on Chad's face before I was knocked out.
...
Ugh, my head is throbbing... I can hear the sound of Chad talking, the sound of a car engine...
Wait
What?!
My eyes snapped open immediately. Where was I? I felt myself seated in a plush car seat. I squinted my eyes at the sudden exposure to light. My head is still throbbing... I glanced over at the culprit seated next to me, his hands on the steering wheel as he was attending a call. He immediately hung up when he saw me giving him a cold glare. "Oh you're awake. Good. We're almost there." He smirked, looking at me. I itched to grab him by his shirt and knock him unconscious, then and there. But it would have been a bad idea, since I had no idea how to drive.
"You...You bas-"
"Kings aren't supposed to swear, you know," Chad responded with a laugh.
This wasn't the first time you knocked me unconscious and dragged my body into a car.
I slumped back on my seat, giving a pout. "You should have been arrested for kidnapping me." I muttered. "Well, I did get permission from your dad." Chad replied. I sat up. Dad allowed him to kidnap me? Wow, thanks Dad.
"What about my duties as King? This is outrageous. I have so many things to attend to!" I shouted.
"Don't worry, your Pops said he could handle it."
"But-"
"Dude, ever since you became King and started dating Mallory-"
"Mal." I said, gritting my teeth.
"Whatever. Anyways, the point is you've been acting like a grown up."
I threw my hands up in the air in disbelief. "That's how a King is supposed to behave!"
"We're here." Chad ignored my rant, motioning me to look out the car window. Sighing, I looked out. Wow. Was this the Charmington Residence? It was breathtaking. My anger had suddenly dissipated as I drank in the beauty of this charming place. The roads were lined with trees and flowers. The houses were well-kept and stood proudly, and the people started waving at us. I wondered if they had been expecting their prince Chad to come home.
"I haven't been back home for ages." Chad smirked, looking at me.
Finally, we reached the majestic and famous King Charming's castle. "Home, sweet home!" Chad exclaimed, pulling into the small parking space for his convertible. I eyed his convertible with jealousy as we got out of the luxurious car and headed up the steps to the gates.
I swear, one of these days, I'm gonna exchange my vespa for a convertible like Chad's.
We were saluted by the guards that stood side by side, leading up to the ebony castle doors that were opened by two butlers. I took a huge breath.
Here we go.
A/N: I was a bit apprehensive about posting this... this is so not relevant to the story title at all.
Meh.
