Sudden Feelings | Marlos

Chapter 7

Mal woke up the next morning and decided to find her friends, so they could hangout for the day. She got ready and was just about to leave when Evie came in the room.

"Mal, you have to find out what really happened."

"I don't want to even look at them together because I don't care. I've moved on."

"I believe that, but you still need to find out what actually happened."

"I hate it when you're right." Mal muttered and left the room with Evie behind her.

She found Audrey outside talking to Jane. When she turned to walk away, Evie stopped her.

"Just the two girls we were looking for." Mal said, as they turned to her.

"What do you want?" Audrey asked, impatient.

"What exactly happened with you and Ben, Audrey?" Mal asked, wondering what happened with Jane and Carlos as well, but knew that one of them would tell her if they want because she wasn't going to force them to if they didn't feel like it.

"Why would we tell you?" Audrey asked.

"I'm actually surprised you aren't asking about myself and Carlos." Jane said, shocked.

"Normally, I would but he didn't say much and I respect him. I'm not going to ask you two what happened because it's between you. If either of you want to tell me that's fine, but I am worried about Carlos because he's been acting a little strange."

"Besides," Mal turned toward Audrey. "I know how you are." She glared at the princess knowing that she was up to something, but didn't glare at Jane because-unlike Audrey-Jane is nice.

"Ben and I kissed." Mal didn't react because she saw it and knew the mean girl was telling the truth for once.

She looked at Jane. "Carlos and I broke up because I noticed that he's in love with someone else and he sort of admitted it."

That surprised Mal a little bit.

"Did he say who he was in love with?" Mal asked as Jane shook her head. "No, but I think I have a pretty good idea who the girl is."

Mal raises an eyebrow at this and crossed her arms. Jane didn't say anything, but continued looking at Mal.

Evie already knew and even told Mal, but the girl didn't want to believe her. She thought that if Mal heard it from a second source-reliable that is-then she would believe it.

"Ok. Thanks." Mal turned and walked away, but saw Ben. "Mal?" Ben said, but she ignored him. Evie noticed and said, "Let's go hangout with the boys. I bet they are looking for us."

"Mal, wait." Ben said, stopping in front of Mal and Evie. "I don't care what you have to say. I've moved on, deserve better and can do better than you. Why don't you go back out with the plastic and useless ex girlfriend you were with before you met me? At least you never accused her of cheating."

Audrey glared at Mal, who glared back. Her eyes glowing green, causing Audrey to look away and Jane to be uncomfortable.

"Mal, if you aren't going to do anything about your feelings for Carlos, then I'll help you out. Jay will too."

"Leave it alone, Evie."

They walked back to the dorms and went to see Carlos and Jay. "Hey." The girls said, walking in. Immediately, Mal's bad mood turned into a good one when she looked at Carlos, which Evie noticed.

The girls were watching them play the video games on the tv. Evie rolled her eyes and smiled, while Mal looked like she was thinking about something, or someone, but knew she wasn't going to admit it.

Mal got a text on her phone and read it. "M, are you okay?" Evie said, looking at her best friend.

"Yeah. I'm fine." She put her phone up and watched the boys.

After awhile, they got tired and Jay went to get some food with Evie, leaving Carlos and Mal alone.

Mal looked at Carlos and asked, "I talked to Jane and Audrey earlier."

He raised an eyebrow. "What happened? Did they hurt you?" Carlos asked, a little worried.

"No. I'm fine. I just asked what really happened between Audrey and Ben. Shockingly, Audrey told me the truth and that was it." Mal didn't want to tell Carlos what Jane said out of respect for him, because she was sure he would say something when he's ready to.

She noticed his expression was blank. "As long as they didn't hurt you." Mal smiled at him.

"They didn't."
