![]() ![]() I opened the door, and Maddie threw her arms around me and handed me a huge cup of tea-just what I needed to make me feel better! We chatted about our tours. She doesn't care if I'm supposed to be the Evil Queen, the White Queen, or the queen bee! I couldn't believe my eyes! Maddie was my roommate! She's fun, funny and totally nonjudgmental. When the tour ended, and I finally got rid of Mocky and Rugsy I walked to my dorm room and saw the names " Raven Queen" and " Madeline Hatter" on the door. But class hasn't started yet, your evilness." I thought I was going to be sick. Badwolf growled, " was quite a huff and a puff." I tried to stammer an apology, but he continued, " You're off to a good start. " Isn't her fury magnificent, Rugsy?" Rugsy bellowed his thoughts, " FURY!" By the time we got down to the deepest dungeon, I lost it. They were still staring at me! Throughout the tour, they would not stop eyeballing me. He took us down to the dank, musky confines of the cauldron room, where we would learn the toil and trouble of poison making. Royally uncomfortable! Our scary, hairy professor Mr. I was grouped with the Wonderland Princess Lizzie Hearts and other "villains", including a goblin and ogre named Mocky and Rugsy, who stared at me like I was a famous spellebrity. Maddie skipped to Professor Rumpelstiltskin's group of quirky characters, no doubt to learn wicked awesome things like riddles and potions. ![]() The "Royals" were escorted to their damsel-in-distress tower. They split us into story groups for our yearly tour. The Headmaster finally finished and left in a blow-the-house-down display of phoenix fireworks and dragon smoke. In other words, we were stuck with our future fairytales, whether we liked it or not. You know, all those princesses whose stories end with " and they lived happily ever after".Īnyway, Headmaster Grimm gave this big speech about how we are all destined for greatness. Not to be an evil drama queen, but what-ever-after! All he cared about was the "Royal" crowd. " WELCOME BACK, STUDENTS OF EVER AFTER HIGH!" But what choice did I have? Suddenly, a voice boomed: Maddie, like so many, couldn't wait for her first chapter to begin. I sat next to Madeline Hatter, my best friend forever after. There was hexcitement in the air, because this year everyone was going to pledge their destinies to the Storybook of Legends during Legacy Day. But there was also another story being told. Our "Book-to-School" Orientation was the week before the classes started, and the Charmitorium was packed with everyone just telling tales about their summers. You know what's wicked crazy? It's the best thing that ever happened to me. Or do I? The truth is the script is flipped and it's my fault. So am I supposed to smile like the Cheshire Cat because I get to be the most feared villain in fairytale history? No! Of course not! I'm not evil! I don't even like squishing spiders! And now I'm expected to give a poisoned apple to Apple White? But, as my mom used to say, " We all have a role to play." She had to be the Evil Queen, and now so do I. ![]() And, lucky me, my destiny is the next Evil Queen. Our "wise" Headmaster Grimm calls it our "storybook destiny". Cedar Wood is going to be the next Pinocchio. Briar Beauty is going to be the next Sleeping Beauty. Apple White is going to be the next Snow White. ![]() Whoever your parent was, that's who you will be. You see, at Ever After High, we study to be the next generation of fairytales. Take me for example: Raven Queen, daughter of the Evil Queen. Sometimes the more things change, the more they really change. You know the saying 'The more things change, the more they stay the same'? So not true. ![]()
