We are very close to the end now. This is the second last chapter just to let you know.
After having a little chat with Mal and Jay, Lonnie went out to look for Evie. She didn't know how things were going to turn out, but she had to stay positive and hope whatever happens was for the best. Lonnie found Evie sitting under a tree in the courtyard. She walked over to her friend and smiled politely.
"Hey, Evie," Lonnie greeted.
"Oh. Hello, Lonnie," Evie replied, surprised to see the girl.
"Mind if I sit?" Lonnie asked.
"Not at all," Evie answered.
Lonnie sat down next to Evie under the tree and looked at what the blue-haired girl was looking at. It was nothing special. Just the rest of the courtyard.
"What are you doing here?" Lonnie asked.
"Nothing much. Just relaxing," Evie answered.
The girls didn't speak for a moment. Lonnie was thinking over what she would say to Evie about the situation while the other was feeling kind of uncomfortable.
"I need to talk to you about something," Lonnie said.
Evie reverted her attention to her friend, waiting to hear what she had to say.
"I know that Carlos likes you and you like him. I know about how he decided to date me because of you. And I know you're afraid I'll get mad if you and Carlos date," Lonnie started.
"You-you know? How?" Evie asked, shocked.
"Mal and Jay. They told me everything," Lonnie answered.
"So...are you mad?" Evie asked.
"No, I'm not," Lonnie answered.
"You're not?" Evie asked.
"No, I'm just a little sad. I kinda thought Carlos and I were doing great until, you know," Lonnie replied.
"Yeah," Evie said.
There was a silence for a few minutes. Evie was beginning to worry about the situation, considering Lonnie looked pretty sad. She was beginning to feel pretty bad for the trouble she's caused. This all could've been avoided if she hadn't talked to Carlos outside that restaurant. Or kissed him. Whichever caused the most drama. While Evie was mentally preparing herself for whatever shouting she was about to receive, Lonnie said something she wasn't expecting.
"You can have him," Lonnie finally said.
"What?" Evie asked, caught off guard.
"I said, you can have him," Lonnie repeated.
"Really?" Evie asked.
"Yeah. I can see the way he looks at you. He really likes you, you know," Lonnie stated.
"And you'll be okay with this?" Evie asked.
"I'll be fine. Our relationship only lasted a week anyway. Besides, who am I to stand in the way of true love?" Lonnie asked, smiling a little.
"Funny. Doug said something similar like that to me. Do you really think it's true love?" Evie asked.
"I don't know. Maybe you should find out," Lonnie said.
Evie smiled and left her spot under the tree to look for Carlos. When she was gone, Lonnie's smile faded. She leaned against the tree and stared at the scenery, wondering if she did the right thing.

Carlos heard a knock on his door while he was doing his homework on his bed. He glanced at Dude, who was lying on the corner of his bed, then got up to answer the door. When he opened it, he was surprised to see Evie standing there.
"Evie? What are you doing here?" Carlos asked.
"I talked to Lonnie today," Evie began.
In Carlos' mind, he thought this wouldn't end good. The tone of her voice worried him, leading him to believe things didn't go so well with Lonnie.
"Wha-what did she say?" Carlos asked, anxiously.
"She said she's sad about what happened, but she's okay with us being, you know," Evie answered, a silly little grin stuck on her face.
"Really? That's great!" Carlos exclaimed, before wrapping his arms around her.
They stayed like that for a few seconds, both enjoying the warm, comforting feeling from the hug. All their troubles just seemed to melt away at that point. To Carlos, it felt like it took forever till he could finally be with the girl he's had a crush on since they first met. And here he is, hugging her, enjoying the fact that she's all his.
"So does this mean you'll go on a date with me now?" Carlos asked.
"Of course, Carlos," Evie answered.
xXx Later that Night xXx
"Mal."
Mal opened her eyes, startled by the voice she heard. She sat up and looked around. Nothing. Looking over at the digital clock on her nightstand, it read 11:30 P.M.. She then turned to the other side and saw Evie sleeping soundly. Earlier today, before they went to bed, she told her about Carlos. Mal was, of course, happy for her friend and squealed in excitement with her, even though it made her feel uncomfortable. Mal felt like dozing off again when she heard that voice again.
"Mal."
With that, something took over her. Her eyes glowed that creepy kind of green once again and she stood up and walked out the door. It was odd. It was as if she was being hypnotized or something. On the way out the door, Mal made some noise, awakening Evie. The blue-haired girl looked around and found that Mal wasn't in her bed. She hopped to her feet and quickly called Jay.
"Jay?" Evie said through the phone.
"What is it, Evie? It's late," Jay stated sleepily.
"Mal's missing," Evie informed, a worried tone in her voice.
I'm gonna leave it at this cliffhanger. Very soon, the last chapter will be out. I hope you guys liked this. Carlos and Evie are finally together. Just one last thing...
