Mal
   Today has been pretty boring. Nothing to do except some work and Evie is gone doing who knows what. I'm gonna message her later and see if she wants to go out to eat sometime. A couple days ago I got my dress sized for the coronation. The days are starting to tick down and I'm getting more and more nervous.  Ben seems to be completely fine but I wonder if he's just putting on a facade. If so, it's an awfully good one. We graduate in a couple of weeks as well. I tried to get Ben to post pone the coronation until then but his father won't allow it. Said that there was no time? I'm just gonna go along with it though.

Mal- Hey E, jw if you wanna hang later and we can go out and chat? msg me when you get this. love you

Hopefully she doesn't take forever to answer my message. Imma head down to get some food. I got some strawberries and a sparkling water. Dinner is in a few hours and hopefully me and E can just go get something instead. I haven't heard from Carlos and Jay in a while. I wonder what they're doing? I'll message them later, I'm just gonna go take a nap for an hour or so.  Ben is gone to help his mom get ready for this Friday. I set my alarm on my phone and go to sleep.

Evie

I can't ever catch a break. All I do is just continuously work everyday. Or I'm helping Doug with his stuff. I haven't even got to hang with Mal in forever. Today i'm helping some kids out with their homework. At least for a couple of hours though then I'm heading out. I'm so excited to see Mal and Ben get crowned soon. I just wonder why they didn't wait till after graduation. I'll ask Mal later.

Now that i've helped those kids, which were a nightmare to add. I'm gonna go to my room and just relax for a while. I lay on my bed and just sit on my phone for awhile. I got a message from Mal. I open it quickly.

Mal- Hey E, jw if you wanna hang later and we can go out and chat? msg me when you get this. love you

I miss hanging with her so much. Life has really gotten in the way recently. We should go to a party. I message Jay and ask him if he knew anyone that was having a party tonight.

Evie- Heyy mal, we do need to hang. Clear your schedule for tonight. We're gonna have some fun before you become queen and have to do adult stuff lol. Love you

I wonder what she's doing. Well I go over to my closet and see what I'm going to wear tonight. I think a pair of white washed shorts and a tank. Yeah that sounds good. Now shoesss. Uh hm I wonder what would look good with that. I think I'm just going to wear some black sneakers. Yeah that looks good. Now I'll just leave my hair down and my makeup on. I hear my phone go off and look down at it.

Jay- Yeah some do the guys on the football team is having one at 9 tonight. You and Mal should both come. It's gonna be wicked. Also can you tell Carols for me? I'm getting the stuff for tonight lmao.

Evie- Okay cool. Yeah I'm getting ready now and I'll head to your all's room to get him. I'm waiting on Mal to msg me back. Be safe see you later x

Oh shoot. I better tell Doug what I'm doing. He's supposed to be hanging with friends tonight and doing some stuff.

Evie- hey love just wanted to let you know i'm going to a party tonight to chill. be safe and lmk how your night goes

Yeah that's good enough. Now time to get dressed. I walk into the bathroom and start getting dressed. I hope tonight goes good and we have a fun time. I'm sure we will. Well, Mal hasn't even messaged me back yet. If she doesn't soon i'm just going to go look for her. I look myself over in the mirror and I think I look pretty good. Now time to get Carlos. I hope he isn't out doing something.  I walk out of the dorm and shut the door. There's like a ton of people just standing around.  I go down to his corridor and see knock on the door. "Carlos answer the door. Carlosssss. I'm gonna beat on this door until you open it" Nothing. I take a credit card and open the door. "Please don't be doing anything dirty" I shut it behind me and I hear a tv going. He must be playing one of those games. I turn the corner and there he is with a headset on. I tap his shoulder and he quickly turns his head. "haha did i scare you?" "uh yeah, what's up E?" i sit down beside him and just look over. "you need to get ready. we're going to a party tonight. all of us. well Mal hasn't answered me but she's coming too." he just slouches back. "Argh you know E, i'm just not really feeling it right now. Maybe another time." "Carlos listen to me. You are going to go and you're going to get your lazy ass up and get ready. I will beat the shit out of you if you don't." I stand and smile at him. He gets up and runs to his bathroom.

Mal- hey E, sounds good. meet me at our dorm and i'll be there to get ready. see you in 5.

Yes this is going great. I hear the door open and he walks out. "Ah see you look great! Now are you ready to go?" "Yeah let's go. Wait lemme say bye to Dude. " We walk out and start walking down the corridor back to my dorm to meet Mal.
