A/n: Neow that I've had my silly little depression period let's get back to this shall we😼 (also I had to read over my stuff to remember what I was writing about and my writing technique is so bad😭 thx for being patient my loves❤)
A month had passed since the Union of the pair, their relationship going considerably well if you put aside the amount of unusual texting Ethan had been up to lately. He swore to Maria that he would get better at his shenanigans, however, his attention span only lasted a couple of minutes before returning to the pools of texts he had received, obviously causing Maria to have doubts about their relationship.
Growing up, Maria had been shut out from everyone's lives, forcing her to believe it was all her fault but hey who could blame them? She was a weird kid who picked her scabs, leaving scars all over her wounded tissue. She cried when she went over to other peoples houses, missing her mentally abusive mother and she had an eating disorder, making her whole body small and fragile.
"Maria!" Devi yelled over the phone, dragging Maria out of her trance.
"Yeah?"
"I can't believe your ass of a boyfriend... Trust me he's hot and all nobody could deny that-" She was cut short when she noticed Maria's glare on the screen.
"But he's not all that... Listen, if the guy is half decent he'll give you a little more appreciation... If not, dump his ass" Maria's face contorted in concentration.
"It's not that easy... I gave him my virginity" Devi nods in understanding.
"It's okay... Gosh I dunno how I'm gonna tell mom that I didn't actually get into any college's".
Devi had finally let the whole 'Fabiola going to Princeton' thing blow over, instead desperately searching for an alternative way to get into Princeton, going as far as stealing the presenter that came to the school's wallet, soon returning it.
"What?!" Maria's face resembled one of shock upon hearing the news.
"Yeah... Kind of a bummer I know"
"Kind of a bummer?! Devi you've been on top of our classes for years and you didn't get into any?!" Devi only nodded at Maria's outburst, feeling too ashamed to speak.
"Did you double check?"
"Yep"
"Triple check?"
"Mhm"
"What about the non ivy schools?"
"Nothing"
"Oh Devi... "
"What about you?"
"No... I don't want to make you feel worse" Maria looked at her friend with great sorrow.
"Just tell me. I'm fine. Everything's fine" Devi choked out, much to her dismay.
"If you insist..." Devi stared at her, curiosity lacing her eyes.
"I.. Got into Harvard" Maria smiled to herself, proud of her achievement. Devi clapped proudly at her friend, also feeling the warmth of pride flood her stomach.
"Alright I've gotta go but I'm so proud of you girl, see you tomorrow" Devi bid her friend goodbye, ending the call abruptly. Maria knew she felt bad yet she also knew that Devi would claw her way through to Princeton, just like she always does.
☆☆☆
The next day Devi and Maria walked into school, spotting Eleanor and fabiola conversing among themselves. Eleanor saw Devi, skipping over to her and embracing her in a hug, congratulating her on her achievement. Devi and Maria shared an awkward glance. Devi was on thin ice now, out of reach of Maria's hands. She couldn't help Devi out of this one, she was in this alone.
What could she do?
