Chapter 4 - Misunderstanding

**Galvin P.O.V**

I walked home perfectly happy with Ben. My first day actually went a whole lot better than I anticipated.

“So how did your first day go?” Ben asked.

“Oh it went great! Better than I thought it would.” I said.

“Fantastic. You’ll get used to the classes and stuff.” Ben said.

But as soon as we entered the house there was a three way yelling match between Bianca (Ben’s sister), Belle and Beast. The servants were just trying to stay out of it as much as possible.

“SAM DID NOTHING WRONG!!! NEITHER DID I OR AUDREY!!! ITS SOFIA WHO DID ALL THIS!!!! SHE MADE US LOOK BAD JUST TO SPITE US!!” Bianca shouted.

“ALL THE TEACHERS SAID YOU GUYS CAUSED TROUBLE IN MR. DELEY’S CLASS!!!! THAT'S NOT OKAY!!!!” Beast shouted.

“Oh please! Mr. Deley didn’t turn around and see what was going on, Fairy Godmother wasn’t there, and Mrs. Claire started playing favourites! ALL the teachers love her so much because they are all biased and it's not fair to the new VKs!!!!!’ Bianca shouted.

“I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!!! GO TO YOUR ROOM!!!” Beast shouted.

“So you guys really don’t believe me?” Bianca asked.

Belle and Beast shook their heads.

“(Scoff) Wow! Some father figure you are!!” Bianca shouted.

“BIANCA THAT IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!” The two of them shouted, making Bianca burst in tears and run to her room.

That's when Belle and Beast noticed we were here.

“Oh you guys are here...um how was school?” Belle asked.

“What happened?” Ben asked.

“Well Sam, Bianca and Audrey got in trouble with Mr. Deley for derailing his entire class and they are all blaming it on Sofia.” Belle said.

“Well have you considered that maybe Sofia really did do it?” Ben asked.

“Ben, I don't want to hear it.” Belle said.

“Mom! Dad! Sofia has been known to be very egotistical and if anyone stands out or does something she doesn't like, Sofia makes it her mission to destroy them!” Ben said.

“I don't know….I had Sofia second hour and she seemed so sweet.” I said because I really mean that.

I think I even have a crush on her. But I don’t know. She's Snow White’s daughter and I'm Gaston's son. I guess we’re not meant to be.

“See? Galvin gets it! Sofia had nothing to do with any of it!” Beast said.

“How would you know if you weren’t there?!” Ben asked, getting angrier.

“Let's be fair to your parents Ben, you weren’t there either! So stop acting like you're always right about everything!” I shouted at Ben.

“Galvin is kinda right.” Belle said.

“I don’t know everything!! Ok?! You're putting Bianca basically on trial with the guilty until proven innocent mentality and not giving her a chance to explain!!!” Ben said.

From what I heard from Belle and Beast, Ben has always been the more heart of gold, don't judge a book by its cover type but sometimes it can really get out of hand. Sam is my friend but this is one of the times I can’t stand by him. I just can’t.

**Audrey P.O.V**

Mom and Dad didn't say anything in Fairy Godmother unlike Belle and Beast and Rapunzel but I got the hint that they were gonna rip into me when we got home. Sam did nothing wrong and I was just defending him and now all of us are in trouble meanwhile that narcissistic princess gets to skip away scott free!! And the fact I used to be like her (even though I wasn’t this awful) just makes me sick. We drove home in dead silence but as soon as we entered the house, the real screaming and belittling began.

“Audrey!!!!!! How could you do this?!!! Do you realize how much trouble you are in right now!!?!!! Your mother and I are very disappointed in you!” Dad said.

Angering my parents is one thing but I hate disappointing them because that's even worse.

“Dad can you just hear me out!” I asked.

“No!! We’re not gonna hear you out!!! We heard directly from Fairy Godmother, Mrs. Claire and Mr. Deley!!” Mom said.

“I can understand why you believe Fairy Godmother I do, but she wasn’t there and is only passing the info from Mr. Deley, who gave Sam detention for being two seconds late and then Sofia started screwing with him and then Mr. Deley automatically blamed Sam because he's a VK!!” I said.

“Everyone’s using Sofia as a shield to hide the fact that what they did was wrong. It's not working for us. Audrey what you did was unacceptable and we have to punish you.” Mom said.

“MOM!! DAD!! You're playing right into what Sofia wanted to happen! She wants to turn all of Auradon against the VKs so they get sent back and Sofia is seen as a “hero” despite the fact she's already the most popular girl in the school!! Sam is innocent, I'm innocent! We did nothing wrong!” I said.

Mom and Dad were getting more and more mad everytime I tried defending myself.

“AUDREY THAT IS ENOUGH!!!!! GO TO YOUR ROOM!!!!!!!!” Mom and Dad shouted.

I ran up to my room. Life is so unfair sometimes. That’s when I got a text from Sofia. “Life’s not fair, is it Audrey? Hahahaha”. Wow the audacity to text me after everything she did.

“Why just why? What did Sam ever do to you?” I texted back.

“Sam is nothing but a dirty, no good brat from the isle that deserves to stay at the isle.” Sofia texted me.

I was starting to get mad.

“That is so not true!! Leave him alone! I’m gonna show fairy Godmother these text messages” and as soon as I sent that one Sofia instantly deleted all the messages she wrote. Wow just wow.

**Holly P.O.V**

Gemma and I went looking for Mom. She wasn’t too happy to see me. I think she’s still mad. I guess I can understand that.

“I don’t want to talk about it Holly.” Mom sighed.

“That’s not why we’re here. We had the same dream.” Gemma said.

Mom looked a little worried.

“Ok. I’m listening.” Mom said.

We told her about the dream.

“Do you know what it means?” I asked.

“I think I might. You saw a blue stone?” Mom said.

“Yeah.” Gemma said.

“Was it glowing?” Mom asked.

“Yeah. And it looked kind of like an opal.” I said.

Mom sighed.

“That’s the Moonstone.” Mom said.

That's when we heard a knock on the door. Mom opened it up and surprise surprise it’s Sofia. Great.

“Why hello Sofia! It’s nice to see you! What are you doing here?” Mom said.

Sofia stormed into the house like she owned it.

“I am here to address a very serious issue. The Museum has been raided and the Moonstone is missing. I’m not accusing anyone but I think it was your daughter.” Sofia said.

“Excuse me?!” Mom said.

“You need to check her room. Everyone is saying it’s your daughter. Everyone on Twitter is talking about the trouble she made in school today. Let’s check her room to be safe.” Sofia said.

“Gemma…” I said.

“Is that what the dream meant?” Gemma said.

“That’s what the part about the Moonstone meant. I’m not sure-” Sofia cut me off.

“Yeah yeah you can talk about these dreams later but I’m sorry. These are serious allegations.” Sofia said looking at my mom.

“I’m sorry Sofia but what right do you have to blame my daughter?! She was here the entire time! I mean, how can I be sure you didn’t steal it?” Mom said.

That’s when Dad came down holding the Moonstone.

“Holly what is this doing in your room?!!” Dad asked, sounding really mad.

“What?! But I never left the house!” I said, shocked.

“Rapunzel I didn’t mean to start a fight but I’m trying to protect Auradon. She took it. It was in her room.” Sofia said.

“Mom I never left! You have to believe lieve me!” I said.

Mom looked at me then at Sofia

“Fairy Godmother sent me. I have physical footage of her leaving.” Sofia said.

It was obvious I was going to take the blame. Sofia took out her phone showing my mom and dad breaking into the museum and stealing the moonstone. Gemma was with me in the video. I was stunned.

“See? It’s true!” Sofia said.

“Holly!!! This is inexcusable!! What were you thinking?!” Dad asked furious at this point.

“Now, now Eugene. Let’s not be so hasty.” Mom said.

“But Blondie-” Dad started.

Mom just glared at Dad.

“I don’t believe Sofia.” Mom said.

“But the evidence..” Dad said.

“Is nothing compared to the evidence I have. You thought I wouldn’t watch Holly? She never left her room.” Mom said.

“Either way Twitter is against your daughter. There’s a petition to get your daughter expelled. Plus let’s be logical. The two are in the video. They stole it.”  Sofia said.

“Let’s be logical?! Really?! You know what, get out!” Mom said.

“But-” Sofia started.

Mom folded her arms and gave Sofia “the look”. Sofia immediately scrambled out of the house.

“Blondie? Can we talk?” Dad said, leading Mom out of the room.

“She was watching us?” Gemma said.

“I guess so.” I said.

A few moments later, Mom and Dad came back.

“I’m sorry Holly.” Dad said.

“It’s ok. She was really convincing.” I said.

“But we should probably tell everyone else about this.” Gemma said.

“Yeah! That way maybe we could get some people on our side.” I said

That’s when five minutes later there was a crowd of angry people with torches and pitchforks and even other heroes were there upset and angry.

“Why are you defending your daughter's actions?!” One protester asked.

“Your daughter is a thief!” Another said.

“Everyone calm down!!! My daughter is not a thief!” Mom said.

“Yes she is!!! There’s footage of her and that Gemma girl!” Another person said.

“Everyone get off my property now!!!!!!” Mom said.

Everyone was still rioting and complaining but Dad managed to get them leave. All except Sofia.

“What a shame. You're still here but let me promise you Gemma you're not gonna last much longer. I will make your stay here a living nightmare. Do you understand me?” Sofia said.

Gemma laughed a little.

“Is that a threat?” She asked.

“Of course not! It’s a promise.” Sofia said and left.

Mom looked horrified.

“Oh my gosh. You were right. Honey I am so sorry! I wish I knew.” Mom said.

“It's fine Mom.” I said.

At least we have my mom and dad on my side but that doesn’t change the fact everyone else loves Sofia and claims she's amazing and perfect. Ugh. Taking her down is gonna be harder than I thought.
