The Prince and His Princess (Book 1)

A New Love

Evie just looked over at Ben confused and he just smiled.

Almost everyone was sitting around in a circle. While they waited for the two that went inn to come out.

"Okay let's see who's next?" Chad asked walking around as the two sat down. "Ben!" He faced Ben pointing at him.

"No Chad. Not again." Ben mouthed to Chad, but Chad pretended not to notice.

Ben rolled his eyes. Then took the bottle and spun it. 

Evie looked around at all the girls crossing their fingers hoping it'll land on them.

The bottle started slowing down near Ben, then stopped.

Ben looked over to see it landed on Evie.

"Wow would you look at that." Chad put his arms around Ben and Evie. "Let's get you two in there." 

"Chad we can't." Ben tried explaining.

"Too bad." Chad ignored him and pushed him in the closet with Evie.

The door slammed shut, then locked.

"Well this is interesting." Evie said awkwardly.

"Yeah. Look Evie we don't need to do anything. We can just talk. Tell me how your life was like growing up on the isle." Ben relied.

"Well it was rough. At first Mal didn't like me, but we soon become best friends." Evie began.

"If she's your best friend, then why didn't you stay on the isle with her?" Ben questioned.

"Because it was always my dream to live in Auradon. And she wanted me, Jay, and Carlos to stay here." Evie told Ben.

"Oh. I see." Ben nodded his head.

They talked for seven minutes till Chad opened the door.

"I was standing by the door, but all I heard was you guys talking. What was going on?" Chad asked disappointed. 

"We were just talking because I told you  Chad. We can't do any of that." Ben stated as him and Evie passed him.

"Lame." Chad mumbled behind them.

When the party was over the four got back into the limo. Carlos and Jay got out and ran to their dorm. Ben and Evie waited behind. 

"Thanks for inviting us to go with you." Evie thanked Ben, then was about to leave.

"Well I meant to just invite you and Jay and Carlos kind of showed up." Ben joked.

"Ben!" Evie friendly hit him in the arm.

Ben laughed, then replied. "I should get you back to your dorm.

They got out of the limo and headed towards the girls' dorm.

"Here we are." Evie stated as she reached her dorm.

"Yes we are." Ben replied smiling shyly.

"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow Ben." Evie said.

"Yeah. Bye." Ben hugged her, then left.

The next day Ben was on the tourney field practicing. Then Audrey walked up.

"Hey Bennyboo." She greeted him.

"What do you want Audrey?" Ben asked getting annoyed,

"I just wanted to know the truth." Audrey told him.

"What truth?" Ben asked her again.

"About you and Evie. Are you two dating?" Audrey wondered.

"No. Me and Evie are just friends." Ben answered.

"Cool." Audrey smiled and slowly backed away.

Ben just watched her with a strange look.

Later the night Ben was in his room drawing again.

"Ben can I come in?" His mom said from the outside.

"Sure Mom!" Ben called replying.

She opened the door and spotted Ben at his desk drawing instead of his bed.

"What's up Mom?" Ben asked spinning around to her.

"Well Ben, Evie is here to see you." Belle answered.

"What? Why?" Ben wondered standing up and walking to the door.

"Hey Ben. Can we talk?" Evie asked coming into view.

"Yeah. Sure. Of course!" Ben let her in.

"I'll leave you two." Belle shut the door for them.

"So what's up?" Questioned Ben as he sat on his bed.

"It's about the other night." Evie started. "When we were playing that seven minutes in heaven game."

"Okay so what's up?" Ben listened in.

"Why didn't you want to kiss me?" Evie questioned.

"Evie. Only because of Mal." Was Ben's answer.

"Yeah, but Mal isn't here and don't know if she's coming back." Evie replied.

"So then what do you want to do?" Ben asked looking right at Evie.

"I don't know." Evie shrugged.

Then they both looked at each other and started getting nervous.

"Ben..." 

"Evie..." 

Slowly they both leaned in and closed their eyes, then kissed. 

After they leaned back and looked into each other's eyes. 

"That was..." Ben started.

"Amazing." Evie finished. 

They both started blushing and laughing.

"So Ben... Tell me about what happened with you and Audrey and that seven minutes in heaven game." Evie said.

Ben looked at her with a nervous smile.
