perfectly awful.

“oooh, that’s so terrible.” jonathan pinched her arm and backed off from her. “that’s lazy, is that like the best you can do? i thought you’d get super mad at me.” he shook his head, clenching his fists tightly. “i can dodge it. i know i can!” come to think of it, he had been practicing for many years. “it should be a game called ‘hit jonathan with a can’ that you are going to lose at again and again.”

“penny! you disgusting bitch, don’t leave me alone with them!” jonathan turned around and headed straight to penelope, hoping to leave this behind for someone else to clean up. he smiled. “so, was that fun or what?!”

Cyrus smirked and pretended to ponder over his options. “So many ideas come to mind… How about we go piss off my roommate?”

“doing laundry costs nothing, what are you talking about? and there’s literally only one student who can bibbidi-bobbidi-bullshit their problems away.” though if she thought about it, the reaction to being called a scullery maid and the mention of the fairy godmother’s spell should have made it obvious who she was related to.

she watched the girl move the fries, seeing what was coming, but she wasn’t in time to stop it. the uniform was already ruined, anyway. once her shirt was covered, she just grinned and faded into the background, completely invisible as she giggled. “people can’t judge what they don’t see, right?” she said, hand closing around the milkshake on her own tray.

“it costs me energy, sweetheart,” she grinned, in a way that had her front-teeth showing and nostrils flared. penelope couldn’t comment any more as she waited for the chaos that was sure to ensue after she attacked the girl with the ketchup. 

“I thought it looked good..” he said and trailed off.

at the reassurance, felicity felt a bit better. she took a deep breath, nodding slightly. “alright. that’s definitely reassuring,” she said, with a small smile. she took out her hairpin, then going to ( a bit hesitantly ) take off her amulet. she wrapped the chain around her hand and held on tightly to the jewel itself. “oh, uh — lilac ends?” she pulled on the ends of her hair. “a trim and lilac ends?”

“i know, i know, but … my mother very recently caused trauma. it’s still fresh and new and … and i don’t want people to see my as my mother, penny,” zip explained; ceridwen sighed.

“it’s not like i can throw anything at you. besides, they are gone” jonathan grinned, taking a lot of ketchup from his shirt and quickly put it in her hair. “now, that looks beautiful.” he tilted his head slightly to the left. “please, why won’t you tell me?”

Andrea: Actually I was in the middle of texting my best friend, but my phone is pretty ancient.

Andrea: And this is Fairy Godmother- who am I speaking to?

Penelope: are you sure it's the phone that's ancient and not you?

Penelope: [ pause ]

He looked at her, confused. “You think so? I feel like the stain will just make me look like a slob.”

“I never said you were fat. I’m just saying that you will be if you keep stuffing your face with junk food.” She clenched her jaw and turned her back on her cousin. “Auradon has definitely given me a new perspective about life. One where I have friends, people who actually care about me and a future that I cannot wait for.” A small smile appeared on her face as she thought about her grandfather’s bake shop.

eirella made herself comfortable, not about to back down. she could take the high road and just walk away, but eirella greene was a petty person, and petty people didn’t know when to quit. “because apologies always just magically fix everything,” she said, wiggling her fingers. Her eyes widened when the girl slammed the table, but the surprise was short lived, making way for satisfaction. she’d hit a nerve. “last i checked, this table was school property. and if by ridiculous outfit you mean the cheerleading uniform that so many people around here wear, then sure, go for it.”

“sorry to disappoint, but not everyone can just bibbidi-bobbidi-boo their problems right away the apology’s all i can afford right now,” she said, flitting her hand in the air. penelope clenched her fists on the table, but she kept herself in check long enough to execute a plan. she set out a tissue on the table and began placing some fries there (for eating later), leaving the wet-with-ketchup fries on its cardboard tray. 

Andrea: VELVET UNDERGROUND

Andrea:FOR THE LAST TIME

Andrea: QUIT SIGNING ME UP FOR ONLINE DATING

Andrea: OR I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL COME DOWN THERE AND HEX YOU TILL YOU DON'T REMEMBER YOUR OWN NAME

Andrea: oh dear this isn't velvet

Andrea: please ignore this i must have opened up the wrong contact

Penelope: who the hell is this

Penelope: DON'T YOU IDIOTS KNOW HOW TO USE YOUR PHONES

rather than moving away, eirella sat on the edge of the table, taking her smoothie and slurping a bit of it before answering. “what’s the issue? you’re the one who splattered my uniform, so it’s only natural that you make it up to me, right?” she tilted her head. “or are you just so useless that you can’t even do laundry?” her own smile mirrored the other girl’s as she looked her up and down. “sorry, my bad, i just sorta assumed you were a scullery maid.”

“i suppose you are right, but …” zip began, and ceridwen made a face. “my mother just caused trauma to half of the student body, penny — i am trying to remain … lowkey.”

@ptremaine​ said:  ❝ the problem is not the problem. the problem is your attitude about the problem. do you understand? ❞

felicity offered the slightest of smiles and gave a small nod. “i, uh — yeah, i understand, i just …” she set the supplies down on the desk, crinkling her nose. “i’ve just never dyed my hair before. i’m a little bit nervous, i guess …”
