Sudden Feelings | Marlos

Chapter 4

The next day, Mal had to go to school. It was a Monday, and she wasn't happy about it at all.

She walked into the school. It was....empty? Seeing that, she ran as fast as she could to her first class, thinking she's late. Every step was echoing in the hall, loudly. Mal opened the door, only to see nothing. There was no one. She did the same to every class, and finds out, the whole school was actually empty.

Great. Now why am I here again? she asked herself before some unknown steps are slowly getting louder and louder.

Audrey and Jane were approaching Mal, with a smirk on the former's face while Jane just looked at Mal sadly.

''Hey hey, sweetie! Feels good to cheat on a king, huh?'' Audrey said.

''What are you talking about?!'' Mal was confused, knowing that this wouldn't end well. Audrey cheated on Chad with Ben who looked like he cheated on Mal. Jane...she didn't know what Jane did or if Carlos just broke up with her because he wasn't into the relationship anymore. She would have to ask him.

''Aww, don't have to make us think you're innocent, Mal. We all know you cheated on Ben with Carlos.'' said Audrey with a confident look on her face.

''Have you gone crazy? Carlos and I aren't even together!" Mal raised her voice, agitated of what Audrey accused her of.

''Hmph. As if. Prove it.'' Audrey said.

Mal's phone, which she barely even knew how to manage it, ringed exactly on time. It was Carlos.

"Your boyfriend is calling you, ha. Obviously because he has a heart after his name! There's proof you guys are together!" Audrey exclaimed.

Mal rolled her eyes, tired of explaining. She answered the phone.

"Hey Carlos, what do you need? I'm kinda in the middle of something right now."

"Mal, where did you go? We've been looking for you all morning because you disappeared all of a sudden." His worried voice was clear through the phone.

"Uh, i thought we had school, then found out it was empty. I can't really talk, i have to-"

"Haha! Look at her!  She's so lame. Let's not forget she's from the isle, we could never trust someone like her." Audrey said, speaking loudly, so Carlos could hear.

"Mal, what was that? Are they making fun of you? Who is there?"

"Ugh! Look Carlos, I really gotta go. I can't take it anymore. " Mal said, fuming with anger.

"Wait, Mal, I'm comin-" He tried to say but Mal hanged up, ready to kill these girls.

She put the phone in her pocket and looked at Audrey.

"What you gonna do now, princess? "

That was the last straw. Her eyes turned green, but she couldn't fight back. She wasn't in the mood and didn't even feel like dealing with this.

Her eyes turned back to normal, and she stood her ground.

"You can have Ben, Audrey. I don't care anymore. At least I'm good enough to get a boyfriend. You're nothing but a snake." Audrey looked shocked.

Carlos appeared beside Mal. The girls cursed under their breath, not knowing what to do, they just sat there and looked at Mal, who glares at them.

"What the hell is going on?" Carlos screamed worried, looking at Mal who's eyes were glowing green as she glared at Audrey.

"What did you do her?! Oh my god, come on Mal. Let's get you out of here."

Carlos walked with her to go see where Jay and Evie were.

"I'm here now." Carlos said, looking at her while she just stared off into the distance angrily.

They finally arrived to Mal's room. Evie and Jay asked what happened, but Carlos ignored them and put Mal carefully on her bed, not looking at anyone.

"Mal, look at me. Please.'' Evie said calm. She didn't dare glance at them because she was thinking about all the ways she could get back at Audrey. They all sat on the bed right beside her and sighed.

An hour passed, and they were still sitting there, except Evie who was making a dress just for Mal. It seemed like Mal was... asleep?

''Uh...what do we do now? Is she asleep or something?'' said Jay looking at the purple hair that was covering her face before he poked her shoulder a few times, to see if she really was sleeping.

''Mal? Are you awake? Helloo?'' He said with his eyebrows raised.

''For god's sake, I'M AWAKE!'' Mal screamed annoyed and turned her back at Carlos. Careless, she closed her eyes again, ignoring everything.

Carlos frowned and said, ''Mal, if you aren't ever gonna tell us what happened, then how are we supposed to even help you? I know something happened, since I found you basically killing Audrey with your eyes."

Evie and Jay gasped.

''Carlos, I don't think you-" Evie began to say, but was interrupted by the door slamming shut.

Jay clapped. ''Good job, screaming at a girl who just killed someone in her mind."

Carlos groaned and put his head into his hands.

''I'm so stupid. ''

"No. You're not. Go talk talk to her." Evie said, looking at her friend.
