Midnight Snack

"Alright, well if you need anything, just uh-"

"Oh wait!" Mal exclaimed, stopping Ben from leaving, " Is it true that we all get to go to your coronation?"

"Yeah, the whole school goes." He informed her.

"Wow, that is beyond exciting." Mal said with a fake smile, "Do you think that it's a possibility that the four of us could stand in the front row next to the Fairy Godmother just so we could soak up all that goodness?"

"I wish you could, but up front it's just me, my folks, and my girlfriend." Ben told her.

"And your girlfriend." Mal repeated. Hailey raised her right eyebrow. She knew what Mal was thinking.

"Yeah, I'm sorry."

"Okay thanks, bye!" Mal said before shutting the door in his face, cutting him off midsentence. She turned to her friends with a smirk." I think it's time Bennyboo got himself a new girlfriend, and I need a lovespell."

Hailey reached behind Carlos and grabbed Mal's spell book before tossing it to her. She caught it with a laugh.

-

"Alright, It says here that we still need one tear, and I never cry." Mal told them as her eyes scanned the book.

"Let's chop up some unions." Carlos said and Hailey picked up one from the bucket beside her.

"No." Mal denied, "It says here that we need one tear of human sadness. And this love potions gets the best reviews, so we have to follow it exactly."

"A tear is a tear." Jay said.

"That's not true Jay." Evie told him, " They both have antibodies and enzymes, but an emotional tear has more protein based hormones than a reflexed tear."

"Well would you look at that." Hailey joked, "The princess actually does have a brain."

"Ha, ha." Evie laughed sarcastically.

"Yeah, I knew that." Jay said.

"No you didn't." Carlos said with a smirk.

"Yes I did."

Before Hailey could retort, Lonnie busted into the kitchen, "There you are Mal, I was looking everywhere for you. All the girls want you to do their hair."

Mal fake laughed, trying to not look like they weren't making a love potion to give to Ben.

"Midnight snack, huh?" Lonnie said taking in all the baking good. She dipped her finger into the batter bowl and tasted it.

"No!" Everyone shouted.

"What?" Lonnie asked, "I'm not going to double dip!"

"Feel anything?" Evie asked carefully.

"Yeah like is it missing anything?" Hailey asked.

Jay put on his flirty smile and stepped up to Lonnie, "Hey there."

"Could use some chips." She told them, ignoring Jay, causing Hailey to snicker. Lonnie walked over to the refrigerator and Hailey sighed in relief.

"And those are?" Mal questioned. A few seconds later, Lonnie returned with a small bowl of chocolate chips.

"Chocolate chips, just the most important food group." She set the bowl down and put a handful into the bowl Mal was stirring, "Wait, didn't your moms ever make you chocolate chip cookies?" The five villains faced her with confused looks, "Like when you're feeling sad and they're fresh from the oven with a big ol' glass of milk and she just makes you laugh and she puts everything into perspective."

Hailey's heart sunk at the girls words. Her mother had never done any of that for her. Whenever she was sad she had told her to suck it up and take it like a champ. She never told her that she loved her or that she was proud of her, nothing. Hailey felt a hand slip into hers and she looked up to face Carlos, who gave her a sad smile. Together, they turned back to Lonnie.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Lonnie asked in confusion.

"It's different where we're from." Hailey told her with a sigh.

"Yeah, I know, I just thought that even villains loved their kids." Lonnie said. She looked around at their sad faces and her smile dropped. Their parents didn't love them. Hailey looked down again, "Oh. How awful."

Mal caught the tear that traveled down Lonnie's cheek and laughed dryly, "Yeah, big bummer, but we have to get these cookies into the oven. So thak you so much for coming by, hope you have a really really-" Mal said as she slowly pushed her out of the kitchen, "-really good night. Evil dreams."

Mal began to put the cookies on the cookie sheets.

"Well that was fun, but I'm going to bed." Hailey told them once the cookies were in the oven. She hopped off the table and walked towards the door.

"I'll walk with you." Carlos said. He walked over to her and together they exited the kitchen together, not noticing the grins on their friend's faces.

"They so like each other."

-

Carlos and Hailey walked side by side down the hallways, "Are you okay?"

Hailey looked up at the white haired boy, "I guess so, how about you?"

He shrugged in response.

"Do you think our parents love us?"

"In their own way." He told her.

"It's just, my mom never really told me she loved me, and when I said it as a kid she always brushed me off. I don't know, maybe I'm just being stupid." Hailey sighed.

"You're not stupid hails." Carlos told her as they stopped in front of her dorm, "You're the smartest girl I know."

Hailey stared at him in surprise. No one had ever said anything like that to her. They stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity before they both started to slowly lean in. Their lips were about to touch when someone dropped their books and the tow of them sprang apart.

"Well, uh thanks for walking me to my dorm. I'll cya later."

"No problem." 

Hailey rushed into the dorm and slammed the door shut before she leaned against it with widened eyes. She had almost kissed Carlos.
