when uma gets to auradon, she is quick to learn that not everybody is as happy to meet pirates as they were when the barrier was first opened. none of the royalty and heroes she danced with weeks ago will even look her in the eye, it’s like it just dawned on them that she’s uma triskelion, cotillion ruiner. so when she walks into her dorm room for the first time and nobodies there to greet her, she’s not even fucking surprised.

it’s lived in, barely, but she’s sure she has a roommate at least. evie apologizes and apologizes through the phone because she was so sure the other girl would be there, but uma can’t even blame her missing roommate, if she was a prissy princess, she wouldn’t want to meet her either.

it’s bad enough that uma can’t be with her friends, the school had done a fantastic fucking job of making sure she couldn’t be with harry or gil, or any person from her crew from that matter. the teachers had told her it was because they had to keep the boys and girls separate, but they wouldn't let her stay with desiree or bonnie or harriet for god’s sake, which even though they had thoroughly proven to have different crews, uma was allowed no familiar face.

harry was going fucking mental, he pretty much threatened fairy godmother when she told them that gil and her couldn’t be in the same dorm as him. at first, harry and gil had been put in the same room together, because uma was the real villain, they didn’t ruin cotillion, she did. but then it came to their attention that the two of them had broken out of the barrier when audrey had control of the scepter, so that had made them separate as well.

and at first, they wanted to put audrey with uma, but since they were both villains now, they had to be separated as well. it was a shame, they both had something in common at least.

but no, instead she was living in this suffocatingly neat room, and everything on the occupied surfaces on the other side of the room seemed so delicate and soft that if the sea witch looked at it for too long she might break it.

the whole room had white french inspired furniture and the walls were a pale blue so light it was almost not there. after the barrier was opened, the castle decorator came back from her long break in italy. she had left as soon as the barrier was put up, wanting no part of a world like that. but within her travels she had met a man, and apparently she had a baby girl. uma didn’t really care, but she respected the woman, as diva as she was, she still fought for the villain kids over and over.

so now, she had redecorated the dorms to match the personalities of the inhabitants. uma’s side had seashells and little pirate-y decorations. uma had already unloaded her things in the room, her clothes dumped on the bed, she had little knickknacks her boys had given her scattered on the crisp white desk.

the floor had two pairs kicked off shoes, since those were all that she had on the isle. the jewelry that she had was stashed underneath her mattress in a ratty cloth. she didn’t have very many ‘beauty’ products, and those that she did have were from audrey and evie, but those that she did have were haphazardly strewn in a desk drawer.

in comparison to her roommate's side, uma’s seemed messier than the isle of the lost. the other girl’s side was pristine and the surfaces were devoid of anything considered dirty. the white furniture had gold detailing on both sides, but with what the other girl had decorating the surfaces, the gold seemed to shine brighter. a fresh vase of flowers seemed to laugh at uma, who had never seen flowers before coming to auradon. the blue and white bedding looked straight out of a magazine with the layers and several pillows adorning the bed.

the first time uma saw it, she sneered. it looked like a dollhouse, nothing was out of place, whereas uma’s side looked bare. (and now it looked out of place against the pastel dream, every time she went over there it felt like she was being suffocated in sugary sweet frosting.)

now, she was sitting on her bed, having just thrown her things wherever she damn pleased (that’ll show them what she thinks of their prissy princess ruffles). her side is actually quite plain, save for the sea shells and a painting of the sea hung above the wired frame of her bed. neither of them have canopies, but her roommate has an angel painting above her bed instead. it’s quite pretty, if she thinks about it. (but she doesn’t because she doesn’t care at all about what some princess has on her side of the room)

it sort of feels like the girl is never going to come, which makes uma think that the girl is scared of her. (which she fucking should be, i mean, she’s a pirate captain and a sea witch) nobody else seems to like them that much, and that makes harry glow, and gil pout a little (which makes harry threaten to kiss him if he doesn’t stop, and that makes uma laugh because she knows gil really wouldn’t mind being kissed by the older boy.)

uma falls back on the bed with a sigh, eyes boring into the ceiling, the bed was super fucking comfortable, like holy shit. she could feel herself sinking in, but she would not let her eyes close. she was tired, but she was always tired. she had always convinced herself that really she wasn’t really tired (harry had always sat next to her in bed until she fell asleep, and if she didn’t he’d wake gil up so he could hold her, and the three of them fell asleep like that.) she and the boys at stayed in evie’s castle for the first few days, but now school had started and they needed to move into the dorms.

next to her, the phone carlos had given her buzzed with a call notification. it didn’t startle her, but she groaned and flipped over, grabbing a pillow and whining into it. she really didn’t want to text anyone, she had only been here for a week and already evie had blown up her phone about a million times.

she remembers when evie came to uma and telling her that they put her in a room with this other girl because they were both new to auradon. and originally this had caused uma to think this girl was from the isle (which made her think all hope is not fucking lost, get your shit together uma, you’re in for a long ride but at least it’ll be someone you know), but the blue-haired girl had told her her roommate wasn’t from there. (fuck)

her phone eventually died down, before a shorter buzz emitted from where she had tried to muffle it. she knew this one too, it sounded like a text, she groaned and crawled over to where it lay buried underneath the pillows from where she tossed it away. unlocking it with her fingerprint (something she didn’t quite understand yet) she saw a missed call from (you guessed it) evie and a text also from her saying, ‘mark my words, i’m going to track down your roomie, i’m so sorry she ditched, ugh.’

uma carefully typed back, ‘okay’ before powering it off, tossing it back to it’s pillow buried state. she didn’t even want a roommate, she really didn’t. uma could go without a stuffy girl who watches her with caution. it would be better if she was all alone to worry about gil and harry and their respective nightmares. (she was their anchor, after all.) harry’s scared him more, but gil’s were longer, so that was almost worse. her stomach knots at the thought of them being alone, which she will never ever admit to them. (even though they already know)

her phone buzzes again, and this time it confuses her. furrowing her eyebrows she sits on her knees to pick it up. and, in fact, it’s not evie. from what she can tell, it’s an unknown number with a message that is misspelled in so many ways, that she knows it just has to be from gil. it says something about ‘haz’ which is a name that only gil is allowed to call harry, and it includes many of those stupid smiley faces carlos showed her. but basically, the message tells her that harry and gil are coming over tonight.

her mood is lifted as she imagines that everything will be almost normal, the three of them will be together, just in a more comfortable bed. but, someone else will be there, unless maybe she’ll be able to scare off this roommate of hers. it should be pretty simple, since she couldn’t even come and meet her in the first place.

she could always send harry to find her, which is so dramatic and totally unnecessary it makes her laugh a little. but she didn’t want to kill her experience here, and terrorizing her roommate without being here for even a day (or even meeting said roommate) will probably ruin her dutiful and redeemed first impression. (not that it could get any worse, she turned into a giant octopus and almost killed them all, and she kidnapped the king to hold him hostage. so really scaring her roommate is probably considered tame compared to everything else.)

and now, everybody’s safe and healthy, away from their parents. harry’s going to learn how to count and gil will learn how to read. and even as much as she wants to stay with them tonight, she’s not going to risk them getting themselves kicked out. she retrieves her phone and opens the message, mentally telling herself to ask carlos how to make a contact. (whatever the hell that was) she types back, ‘you can’t, i have a roommate remember?’

closing her eyes, her phone is dropped on her stomach as she lays back, its quiet, which unnerves her in a way she hadn’t thought about yet. even the breathing of someone else would calm her nerves in the slightest. she thinks about this ‘roommate’. maybe she’s home schooled and has never even been to school before. it’s likely she just went to a different school before this, uma’s not stupid, she’s sort of even the most logical person out of her crew. (which makes sense because she’s the fucking captain)

her phone buzzes within ten seconds of her laying down, she carefully takes it in her hands like she’d scared it would fucking shatter. ‘but i wanna come see you :( i miss you.’ a smile worms it’s way onto her face as she looks at the message. it surprises her as it buzzes again, the little chat bubble pops up saying, ‘harry says he misses you too :)’

her brow furrows, ‘harry’s with you?’ the teachers had seemed hellbent on keeping them apart (not that it would work) but harry always found his way around things. he climbed through uma’s window when ursula used to keep her locked up in her (very bare) room, he dragged gil to the ship when his dad was being especially dumb. he cares about all of the crew even if he doesn’t show it.

‘yeah, he climbed through the window and locked jay out :)’ she laughs, that sounds like a the kind of thing harry would do. they haven’t even been in these dorms for two hours and yet he’s already found a way out of the ‘punishment’. she hadn’t imagined him taking a long time though, they were family.

‘i miss you too, both of you. but i’m not going to risk getting kicked out of here on our first night.’ she sets down her phone and gets up, stretching. ‘tell harry to bring you to the commons, he knows where it is. they can’t punish us for socializing.’ she figures that if they act like they’re at least trying to fit in, they’ll stop trying to separate them.

‘okay uma :)’ the message buzzes in the pocket of her jeans, a newly acquired item audrey had thrown at her this morning when she went over to evie’s to get the trio awake. she had told them that after this week of school, she’s taking them to the mall to find, her words, ‘less spikey’ clothes.

uma points her gaze at her phone briefly before leaving the sugary sweet looking room, tucking her phone back in her pocket and shutting the door. evie had given her a key to the dorm, and so she attempted to lock back up again. a satisfying click was heard before she put the key away, finding her way to the commons.

she pretended not to notice the stares and whispers, but she expected them so it was hard to ignore it. things were so much easier on the isle, if people had something to say, they would say it to your face instead of being bitches about it. the more uma stayed, the more she could tell that auradon was just a bigger prison, like a refinement center or some shit like that.

she neared the chatter of students and comfy sofas, eyes caught onto her with a fearful twinge, and then the whispers started again. she only heard ‘that’s the girl that turned into her mother and tried to kill us.’ her heart clenches with the anger rising in her chest. she was not her mother, she almost succeeded where her mother failed miserably. she had fooled everyone, and she knows it’s wrong to still be so angry at mal, but that girl terrorized her, basically her entire life. it’s hard to forget that shit.

“uma!” she barely even turned around before she felt strong arms encircling her waist and a smile pressed into her shoulder. she ignores the way her heart warms and reminds herself that she doesn’t have to hide here, they can be happy.
