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 most feared villain in fairytale history? 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.
