A Red Queen AU

-Part Three-

Cal's POV:

Shit.

It was Mare. When I got her that scholarship, I didn't actually think I would actually see her. I mean, maybe once or twice in the hall, but I never expected my girlfriend to smash into her on the first day.

"Cal?" She asked, one eyebrow raised. I immediately heard Evangeline scoff. I sighed silently in my head.

Can't wait for this talk.

She looked over at me with a hard core glare, that quickly shifted into the fakest smile, I had ever seen.

" *Fake giggle* Babe. You know her?" I felt her cling on to my arm just a little more.

"Um, yeah. Evangeline, this is Mare. Mare, this is-"

"His girlfriend." She interrupted. She put out a hand for Mare to shake. She just stared at it.

Gosh, Mare can be real sexy sometimes.

"Well, that's great," She looked at me. "Good for you, Cal." She tried to walk away, but Evangeline stopped her.

"So, um, how did you two meet?" She asked.

Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap, crap...

"Um, just-" Mare began

"Oh, we've actually known each other forever. Since we were little." I interrupted. "Like we're really good friends. In fact, we know so many things about each other! Like Mare isn't even her real name! Ha, yeah! Her real name is actually, um, Mareena! Yeah, Mare is just a little nickname. You know, her real mom and dad died when she was just a baby?! Yeah, she got adopted by this other family. See, we know each other so well! We're friends! BEST FRIENDS! And, she's Maven's girlfriend too! You know Mavey right?! Right?! So she's like kinda family, and it would be weird to date family. And, it's not like she's available. NOT THAT I WANT HER TO BE THOUGH! Haha, see?! FRIENDS!!!"

Oh My God...

I looked at Mare with a fake smile plastered on my face. She glared at me with the fire of a thousand suns. I guess I deserve it.

Ugh. I guess I should introduce her to Mavey. They need to start dating, after all. Mavey knows how important this is to me, right? He'll agree. I just have to figure I out Mare. Hopefully she'll be easy to manipulate. And, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!? Mareena?! Her parents dying?! Well, hopefully her parents didn't actually die. That would offend her, and I know how people are these days. Everything has to be offensive. And just-

"Right, babe?" Evangeline asked.

Shit. Why was I not listening?

"Yep. Totally." I said.

"See? He hates puppies."

Fuck me.

"No- I don't wha-"

*CLICK*

Two minute warning students. Two minute warning.

*CLICK*

"Okay, not that this hasn't been fun," Mare said, clapping her hands together. "But as Cal said, I am very new, and I have yet to figure out where I'm going, so if you would excuse me.." She pushed Evangeline and Elane out of the way, and walked past them. Her back was turned to me.

Woah.

Evangeline smacked me on the arm for my staring.

Why am I still dating her, again?
