The sleek black limousine rolled through the gates of Auradon Prep, drawing the attention of nearly every student on campus. Conversations died down as the car came to a stop in front of the school steps.

Whispers spread through the crowd.

"Those are the villain kids..."

"I heard they're dangerous."

"What if they steal something?"

You stood off to the side with a few other Auradon students, watching as the chauffeur stepped out and opened the back door.

One by one, the four VKs climbed out.

Jay stretched his arms over his head, looking around with an amused smirk. Carlos hesitated for a second before nervously following, taking in the massive campus. Evie smiled confidently, brushing a strand of blue hair behind her ear as she admired everything around her. Mal stepped out last, her expression cool and unreadable as she scanned the crowd staring back at them.

The silence between the two groups was almost unbearable.

Some Auradon students took cautious steps back. Others simply stared, unsure of what to think.

Just then, Ben walked down the front steps with Fairy Godmother and several teachers behind him.

Ben: "Welcome to Auradon Prep. I hope you'll all feel at home here."

The VKs exchanged skeptical glances, clearly not convinced.

As the crowd slowly began to disperse, Mal's eyes drifted away from Ben... and landed on you.

She raised an eyebrow, noticing you hadn't backed away like everyone else.

For a brief moment, the two of you simply looked at each other before Jay nudged Mal's shoulder, pulling her attention back to the group.
