Evie avoided Doug as much as possible. It was fairly easy until science class came. Unfortunately, the teacher kept assigning students partners for various of experiments and studies for their projects. Evie and Doug were pretty much assigned to one another for every single project.

Evie put her work into her half of the project of course, but that didn't mean she never stopped to take a cigarette break. She'd use a bathroom excuse to smoke in the bathroom and hang with some of her friends. She's also leave whomever bedroom they were in or the library to "get fresh air" which only meant she was going to put toxins in her body.

Doug tried to help her. He would take her cigarette box when she was not looking and hide it somewhere far away, like in a bush or trash can. Evie always managed to find it. It then hit him that she used her magic mirror to find her cigarettes. Doug then decided to do the worse thing ever.

While Evie was gone "to the bathroom" while they studied homework in the library, Doug looked around him to see if anyone was looking. No one was looking. Doug pulled up Evie's purse and opened it and began to dig through. He was taught better than to go through anyone's stuff without their permission, let alone a girls purse, but he needed the item. He picked up her magic mirror and stuffed it into his own backpack, then took her lighter and cigarette boxes, and placed her purse back on the ground.

Evie returned moments later. "Hey, do you mind if I leave early? I'm going to hang out with some friends."

"Carlos, Jay and Mal?" Doug asked.

"No, I mean my other friends."

"Oh, those acquaintances of yours."

"Doug, they are my friends." She said

"If they were your friends than they would encourage you to not smoke or do other students homework as payment." He explained.

Evie rolled her eyes and said, "Whatever." Before turning around with her things.

A few hours later while Doug was on his way to the dining hall he heard the sound of heels running behind him. A second later, he felt someone jump on his back and wrap their arms around his neck and began pulling in an upwards direction. "Ah! Ah!" He cried out.

"What did you do to my mirror!?" Evie shouted. She didn't care about the other students looking on in wonder. She cared about her mirror and her lighter and her cigarettes. "Douglas!"

"Ugh! Ugh!" Doug tried to breathe. "Air! Air!"

Evie released and jumped off him but stared coldly at the teenager. "WHERE. IS. IT!?"

"Evie—"

"Where is my mirror, Douglas!?" She shouted louder.

"Outside?" He pleaded.

The teenagers went outside to the empty space. Before Doug could speak a word, Evie slapped him hard. "Ouch!"

"Where are they!?" She yelled. Doug now noticed how twitchy and sweaty Evie appeared, as if she hadn't had something to calm her down for a while. "Where is my mirror?"

"Here." Doug said. He reached into his backpack and handed it to her.

Evie snatched it from his hands. "Oh mirror," She rubbed it against her cheek. "Did the mean, bad Auradonian hurt you?"

"Uh..." Doug lingered. "I just—"

"Magic mirror, don't be shy, tell me where my box of cigarettes hide." Evie spoke to the mirror. The mirror became smokey for a moment and then showed her her answer. It was dark, but a paper could be seen and it read a name. Doug. There were two Doug's on campus, but Evie knew this handwriting like her own hand. Evie glared up at the Doug the mirror spoke of and stared him down.

"Evie—"

"How dare you go into my bag and take my things!"

"Evie, I don't want you to become sick."

"I'm not sick."

"Evie, you're twitching because you need one. You're sweating because your body needs this to calm down. That's not good."

"Shut up."

"Evie, you are not yourself!" Doug exclaimed. "Your not the Evie we all know and your idiot friends are changing you."

"No, nobody has changed me other than me." The princess told him. "I like who I am. I have friends outside of my usual three friends. I have a group. I belong in a squad."

"There are plenty of more people to be friends with!" Doug stressed. "You don't need those guys to have a group."

Evie rolled her eyes. "Whatever. I like who I am and all my friends like me too. In fact, Danny and I are going out."

"WHAT!?" Doug yelled. His heart shattered. She was going out with another guy?

Evie nodded. "Danny and I are dating. We like a lot of the same things and he's pretty cool," She explained. "He has time more me." She stated. "He really likes me." Evie smiled. Doug knew that smile too well. That was her in love smile. She had it when she had a crush on Chad and he's sworn that he had seen her smile like that once; at him.

"You and Danny are dating?" Doug asked a bit dumbfounded.

"Sure. For about a week now," She said. "He's dreamy." Her voice was admiral.

Doug had no idea what took over him. But he blurted out to Evie, "So, you like guys like that? Guys who are into that stuff?"

"Uh...sure," Evie answered.

Doug reached into his back pocket and pulled out both the lighter and the cigarette box. "Okay." He said and his fingers fidgeted while trying to get a cigarette out.

"Doug?" Evie's heart sank. "What are you doing?"

Doug didn't answer her. He instead managed to grab a cigarette and then lit it up. "I'll be into this stuff." He said.

"What? Why?" Her brown eyes popped out loudly.

"Why?" He asked. She nodded. "Because..." He muttered something.

"Because?"

"I love you."

He loved her? Doug loves her?

Doug placed the cigarette in his mouth, making Evie realize what the hell he was doing.

"Doug!" She shouted.

"Douglas!" A second voice roared.

Evie and Doug, the cigarette still in his mouth, turned around to find Fairy Godmother standing there. The look of horror written on her face.

"Douglas Miner, what are you doing?" She asked him.

Doug took the cigarette out. He's never been in trouble before so his words were a bit stuttered. "Uh...I'm just...nothing."

"Douglas, come to my office immediately." Her voice and face were both stern. She then turned on foot and lead the way to her office.

Doug and Evie were both frozen. Doug took the cigarette out and coughed loudly, hunching over to puke a little bit.

"Oh Doug," Evie said. "I'm-I'm-I'm-" She couldn't get the words out.

Evie turned on her feet and ran away. Sobbing the entire time.

Uh oh
