Prompt from GabbyGrimhilde: Maybe a chapter where Evie is jealous of Uma. Like, Mal might be kind of spending a lot of time with Uma and leaving Evie "out". But there may be a specific reason why Mal is doing this.

A.N- I tried to stop angst from slipping into this… that failed… horribly but it was only a little bit and I don't think it took over the story that much.

Evie P.O.V.

I sigh looking over at Mal who was currently talking with Uma. She's been blowing me off since Wednesday last week, and sure Mal could have more than one friend and it's great that after so long she was getting along with Uma but I would like more than a quick "Good Morning, I'm going to hang with Uma" every time I see the girl I'm crushing on. I just wish she liked me back.

Audrey P.O.V.

I glance over at a crestfallen Evie who was currently staring at Mal, Mal the girl who Evie has been crushing on for years, Mal the girl who was currently blowing off Evie. Over the time that the VK's had been here I had learnt they're not their parents and can be trusted. Evie and I had grown closer from our mutual love in fashion, we grew close enough that she shared the fact that she had a major crush on Mal.

"Eve can I talk to you for a sec please" I say smiling sweetly at her and beckoning her with my hand.

"Uh yeah sure" she mumbles before cantering after me.

"What's up Aud?" Evie asks once we had left the cafeteria.

"Your jealous" I say with a grin.

"No"

"Yep"

"I'm not" Evie mutters with a pout as she looks down.

"Eve do you want Mal to pay attention to you-" Evie glances up before nodding "- well I have an idea"

Evie's head snaps up quickly "you do? What is it?"

"Well we could pretend to be dating and then if Mal likes you back, which I'm pretty sure she does she'll get jealous and want to hang out with you again"

"I don't know… it might make her hide behind her shell and she'll start avoiding me more"

I smile softly "Eve it'll work trust me"

She takes a deep breath before nodding "ok what's the plan then?"

She looks hopeful "you're a good actor yeah? -" she nods "-ok well we pretend I asked you out during this conversation and we walk back in hand in hand you with your ginormous sun of a smile and tell them that we're dating" I finish with a smile

"ok lets do it" she quickly loops her arm in mine and skips back inside with a giant smile.

"guys guess what" Evie squeals once we were in earshot of our friends.

Heads quickly lift to look at the smiling bluenette. "what's up Blueberry?" Jay asks

"Audrey just asked me out isn't that cool?" her grin grows impossibly wider, but I can see doubt and fear reflecting in her eyes for a second before it just disappears .

Mal's head snapped up from her conversation with Uma and she looks shell-shocked, "that… that's great E, I… I'm really… happy for you" she forces out with a fake smile.

I glance over at Evie to see her worrying her lip with her teeth at Mal's reaction, I watch for a second entranced by her natural beauty before carefully pulling her lip away from her teeth.

Evie had gone pale as she looked at Mal who was staring at her plate listlessly. Quickly she jumped up mumbling something about not being hungry before rushing out. I quickly jump up to chase after her but turn to Mal expecting her to be jumping up only to see her sitting there staring blankly at the spot where Evie had left.

"Mal! Get up, she's your best friend!"

The girl quickly snaps out of her shock and jumps up to chase after Evie who had already disappeared.

Mal and I were calling Evie's name as we ran back to Auradon Prep, but she was gone.

"Has… Evie… al-ways been this… fast?" I ask as we run into the front communal area.

"Faster actually, she's gotten slow since coming to Auradon"

"What? How? She's faster than Carlos, and that's saying something" I exclaim

"Yeah, she used to have to run away from her mother's whippets, Carlos only had to run away from his mother"

I whip around to look a Mal "her mother has whippets?"

"yeah, they were savage little beasts too, Evie's lucky you can't die on the Isle"

"You mean she's lucky you can't get hurt on the Isle, right?" I feel my knees going weak as I look at Mal.

"Nah you can't die, you can get hurt, but you can't die"

"So, if you got stabbed in the heart?"

"You'd be alive with a bleeding heart until it healed"

I feel sick "how could king Adam allow this?"

"I'm pretty sure it was a glitch in the making of the barrier, it was supposed to be made so we don't get hurt so the villains didn't kill each other, but no-one had ever done a spell to that scale before" Mal shakes her head looking down at the ground.

"ok where would she go if she needed to escape?"

"uhh if she's not in our dorm she'd probably try climb onto the roof of our dorm building" Mal says.

"wait what! She climbs on the roof?! What if she were to fall!" I yell glaring at Mal.

"yeah well it's probably safer for her to climb here cause none of the roofs are in disrepair so she can't just randomly fall through a rotted section of roofing"

"she used to climb on rotted roofs?! What?! How?!-"I pause before realising something "-You know what I don't need to know, right now we just have to find Evie and make sure she isn't doing anything stupid"

We finally make it to Mal and Evie's shared dorm, we burst in to see Evie taking down the bars that had been placed over the windows, they had been placed there after a boy who had been throwing a ball with his friend dove backwards and went through the window "Evie stop" Mal didn't raise her voice, sound menacing or anything but Evie's hands stilled.

"Evie talk to me, what's wrong you hardly ever try to break out of the window anymore, only when you're extremely upset"

Evie pressed the back of her hand against her mouth and obviously that was some form of sign as Mal was immediately rushing forward to wrap the taller girl in a hug and pull them slowly onto the floor, Evie dissolved into quiet sobs as she curled into Mal, after a while Mal managed to settle her down until it were just hiccups every couple of seconds.

"E what's wrong" I say softly, looking over at her, I notice Evie's shoulders tense "would you like me to leave so you two can talk?" Evie shakes her head rapidly.

"I'm really exhausted I'm just going to go to sleep" Evie quickly locks herself in the bathroom to remove smudged makeup she soon walks out makeup free and in pyjamas.

Evie P.O.V.

I wake up and slowly make my way to the bathroom for my morning routine, after washing and drying my hair I get dressed and style my hair finally I s1tart applying my makeup. Only after that do I realise it's my birthday, I look over at Mal smiling softly at how innocent she looks whilst she's asleep, her signature smirk nowhere to be found.

"Wake up Sleeping Beauty!" I yell at her giggling once she jumps up.

Hair covering her face and sleep still prominent on her face, yet she was just as beautiful as ever.

"Evie your staring" Mal said looking at me curiously.

"Right" I say quickly "well get ready you're going to be late" I smile at her before walking out the door. She mustn't care very much if she forgot about my birthday…

All day Mal has avoided me, my fake girlfriend just broke up with me and I haven't seen Jay or Carlos all day.

"Evie! Evie it's Mal follow me" I turn to see Carlos jumping and waving his arms like a maniac.

"What?! What happened to Mal?! Carlos what the hell?!" I yell quickly following him.

We burst into the gym and unexpectedly a whole heap of lights flicker to life.

"SURPRISE!" I jump as I look at all of my friends with Mal standing directly in front of me a giant sign behind her.

"Evie Maria Grimhilde will you go on a date with me" Mal asks with a wide smile.

I gawk at her "y-you mean it?"

"Yes of course I mean it why wouldn't I mean it E?" Mal asks looking confused.

Because you completely fucking ghosted me all week! "Because you haven't spoken to me all week, aside from when we've been in our dorm, and I understand that your friends with Uma now and I'm ok with that what I'm not OK with is my crush blowing me off" I feel tears threatening to fall.

"Oh Evie, did you think I was replacing you with Uma?" I look down and nod slowly "oh Evie-" Mal pauses to take a step forward "-I could never replace you, you're my Evie I need you you're the one thing that convinced me to come back, sorry Ben-" she turns to Ben with a guilty smile, Ben just shrugs and smiles "-I'll always need my Evie, so will you go out with me?" I smile tears in my eyes and pull Mal into a kiss.

Both of us are so entwined with each other we don't notice the eruption of cheers from our friends.

Pulling away slightly I rest my forehead on hers and whisper "this is why you were ignoring me?"

"Yeah E, I'm so sorry about that, I didn't even realise what I was doing, can you forgive me?" Mal's usual smirk is missing from her face, replaced with a soft smile.

"Of course, silly I'll always need my Mal" I say quoting the girl standing in front of me.

So how did I do? Thank you GabbyGrimhilde for the amazing idea I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
