10. The pen hadn't been worth stealing
The pen hadn't been worth stealing. Not really. It wasn't anything special, just one of those free pens that the school gave away during parent nights.
It really wasn't worth all the trouble he had taken to steal it, but he loved to see her face when he did.
Evie called it her lucky pen, Jay thought it was stupid. She was smart with or without the pen. But no matter what anyone said, she stuck to that pen. It's what she took exams with and what she did homework with, she even used it to write a letter to her mother after the coronation (she said she would need all the luck in the world to try speaking to her).
So Jay did what he did best, he stole it.
It was almost a game at this point. It made her so angry when he stole it, each time she got it back she would try to hide it or protect it in a better way but he was always better. He had years of experience thieving and she couldn't outsmart that with all the lucky pens in the world.
"Where is it" she demanded.
"I don't know what you are talking about" Jay calmly said.
They played this game every time he stole the pen. She would storm into his room and demand to know where it was, he would always deny all involvement and she would march around his dorm until she found her prized object.
It made Jay smile just thinking about it. He knew exactly why he liked messing with her so much. She was always so happy all the time, it's what she liked to show to the world. It's all she ever showed them.
But angry Evie was something else. She wasn't particularly threatening, but she was adorable when she was mad. The way her face would get red and her eyes would narrow, she would bite her lip before she spoke and her fists were always clenched. He would pay just to see that face. The real Evie.
So just like all the times before she marched around his room, opening drawers and moving things about (she always put them back before she left).
"Ah ha!" She exclaimed as she found her pen in his pillowcase.
She glared at him as she stood by the door.
"How did that get there?" Jay feigned surprise. Evie rolled her eyes and exited with a huff.
Jay just laughed, wondering where she was going to try to hide it next week.
AN: Thank you all for sticking with this story! If you have any Jevie prompts you would like to see, go ahead and post them. I may end up making another Jevie oneshot series with those requests if I get enough!
