Evie & The Troubled Teen

Chapter 6

After everything that had happened the previous evening, Mal had felt that she had to look out for Evie now that they were friends. So when she woke up the next morning, she saw that Evie was still asleep and softly snoring. Mal laughed quietly after that, she just sat on her bed her head in her hands as she just watched the girl sleep peacefully.

Mal was kind of glad that she had a friend now. A real, true friend. Her first friend, really. And before too long, Evie began to stir and then she sat up, waking up. And as she opened her eyes, she saw Mal just sitting on her bed, watching her.

"Well, you're not creepy." Evie told her as she stood up to go get dressed.

"What can I say? I like watching you sleep." Mal joked.

"Ok, stop. You're freaking me out." Evie said as she went into the bathroom.

"Evie! I'm going down to breakfast!" Mal yelled just as she was about to leave the dorm.

She heard Evie respond with an "ok" before she left. After Evie heard the door close she opened the bathroom door, as she continued to brush her hair. She turned on her speaker which started playing, "Adore You" by Harry Styles, which was the song she had been listening to the most.

She found herself singing along to it, even dancing a little bit as she finished getting herself ready. And before the song even ended, a knock was heard at her door. So she quickly turned off the speaker and told whoever was on the other side, to come in. Which turned out to be Henry.

"Hey babe!" She greeted him with a kiss as she was looking for all of her supplies and stuff and putting it in her bag.

"Whoa babe! Can you slow down a sec? I want to talk to you about something." Henry said.

"Ok, like what?" She asked as he grabbed her arms and pulled her closer to him.

"I want to take you out." He told her.

Evie looked at him with an almost confused look on her face. "But, you have a tourney game tonight." She said to him.

"Yeah, I know." He replied. "That's why I wanted to take you out before the game."

"Hun, I can't. Audrey wants the cheerleaders to do some warm ups before the game and I have to be there. How about tomorrow?" She suggested.

"I can't. I have to study for a test." He replied.

"Well then, I guess we just can't this week." She said.

"You know this has been happening a lot lately." Henry said as Evie pulled herself out of his grip continuing to get the rest of her things. "You keep cancelling our dates because you're busy doing something. Are you..going out with other guys?"

Evie turned around and looked at him in shock. He didn't just ask her that. "Excuse me? You actually think, I could be cheating on you?"

"Well, yeah! I know a lot of guys like you." He said.

"Henry, I love you. You know that. So why even think, that I could ever cheat on you?" She asked.

"Well, you never want to go out with me anymore, and you keep bailing every time we make plans!"

"Well, that doesn't mean I'm cheating on you!" Evie began raising her voice. "I'm just a very busy woman. I've got school, I'm a cheerleader with lots of practices, and on top of that I've got Evie's 4 Hearts which requires a lot of my time too!"
