In the first chapter, Maeve caught Evelyn humiliating her mother. Maeve decided to take her mother for herself, and went after Evelyn's mother to get leverage. Evelyn proposed a meeting to discuss a truce the next day. On the night of Evelyn's proposition, Maeve went to her friend's house to clear her head.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maeve let herself in when she got to Kimberly's. Natalie, Kim's mother, was doing the dishes. She was a small, corpulent woman with meat on her bones. She treated Maeve like her own daughter and was always happy to see her.
"Hello, Maeve. Kim is in the basement."
"Thank you. Need any help with the dishes before I go down?"
"You're sweet, darling, but no, I'm fine."
"All right. Mom says hi, by the way."
Maeve opened the door of the basement and closed it after entering. Her own home didn't have a door like this, and she felt it isolated them from the rest of the world. Kimberly's basement was the number one to chill in among all her friends.
But when she got down the stairs and turned the corner, she was instead greeted by Evelyn. The pompous bitch was sitting in the middle of the couch, both arms resting on top, as if she owned it. What really triggered Maeve, though, was that her bottom half was naked and a girl was lapping her slit. Even if they weren't in her house, with her long sleeves shirt and messy brown hair, Maeve would have recognized her best friend anywhere.
She was incensed. "What the fuck is going on!"
"Well, you took your sweet time getting here. It was getting boring. Don't get the wrong idea. She was the one who asked for it. Granted, I told her to continue when you arrived, but it was not premeditated. Why don't you take a seat, so I can explain."
Maeve thought about leaving. Evelyn was clearly doing this to get to her. If she played her game, that arrogant slut would win. But she looked at Kimberly, who was on all fours, licking that fucking bitch every five seconds. Even though she didn't know why Evelyn had targeted her, her friend was obviously in this situation because of her. So she decided to stay, if only to ensure Kim was okay.
"You better have a good explanation. Otherwise, I send those pictures all over school. I'm sure you have something on my mother, but I don't care about mutual destruction."
Evelyn chuckled. "All right, all right. But to be fair, you said to stay away from Naomi and your mother. Not Kim."
"Oh, fuck off, you knew what I meant. And before you start, can you stop that?" asked Maeve, as she nodded toward her best friend.
Evelyn looked down. "Kim, do you want to stop?"
Kimberly hesitated a few seconds and softly said, "No..."
Evelyn looked back to Maeve. Under the nerd glare, she lifted her hands in surrender. "Don't look at me like that. I'm not coercing her. Kim, where are you the happiest?"
This time, she did not hesitate. "Between a woman's legs."
"See? And you'll notice she didn't say my legs. I'm sure she'll be happy to be between yours if you spread them. I knew she was a lesbian because of the way she looked at you. I'm surprised you never noticed. And unlike your mother, she likes them squeaky clean. I sometimes make her edge me for hours. I have some eager people under me, but Miss Kimberly, here, truly is a step above regarding the love of women's genitals anatomy."
Seeing Maeve keeping her scowl, she decided to continue with the story. "Let's start at the beginning, shall we? It all started a few months ago when I heard you became popular. The teachers like you, and you're not considered a teacher's pet. The other students like you well enough, despite that. You're smart, pretty, and well-behaved. Some guys on the football team were talking about how they could be stay-at-home dads, while you're bringing home the bacon with your big brain and all. As if being smart meant you'd make good money.
"Anyway, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't annoyed. I put in a lot of effort to be at the top. Whereas you just effortlessly live your life. So I set out with the goal of taking you down a peg or two. I started with Miss Kimberly over here. I'll let her tell you her side of the story. And when I learned your mother was a realtor, giving me a good reason to meet her... well, you know how it went.
"Your mother was really a surprise. Of course, when I saw her the first time, I instantly knew she was a submissive. Single mother. A job where you had to show confidence and control the conversation as much as possible. Her body language practically screamed for someone to take charge in the bedroom. Everything else was just gravy. It's been fun exploring her kinks and limits.
"Through both of them, I learned many things about you." Seeing Maeve's frown getting darker, Evelyn gave her an olive branch. It would have been easy to let her believe her close ones turned on her. "You don't need to be angry with them. I didn't ask them to spy on you. Only divulge information relatively benign.
"For example, I wouldn't have asked them to steal your diary if you even had one. Partly because I knew they would refuse no matter the punishment, losing their trust in me in the process. Partly because it would have made things too easy."
Evelyn gently tapped Kimberly's head. "Two seconds."
Maeve noticed her friend was now licking Evelyn's slit more frequently.
"So what did I learn about you? I learned you're the leader of your little clique. I learned they all respect you and listen to you. I learned you're driven and pay attention to details. And the more I learned, the more I realized you had potential."
"Potential?" repeated Maeve, not believing what she was hearing. She wouldn't be so easily manipulated.
"Yes, potential. I've been feeling lonely at the top lately. Sure, I have friends, excellent friends even. But they are all missing something. I can't help but see them below me. But you have the potential. I can groom you. Teach you. I don't think you'll ever be at my level, if only because I have more resources and contacts. But you're the closest person my age who can be my equal. I can see you have it in you."
Evelyn leaned forward. "I can see the struggle and curiosity in your eyes. You wonder what it would be like to be me. Honestly, having your best friend eating me while we're chatting is making my blood boil. All I want is to grip her messy hair and grind her face until I cum, while looking you in the eyes, asserting my dominance. I'm showing a fair amount of self-restraint right now.
"I can see you want to take my place. I can also see you want to take her place, wondering what the fuss is all about. You also want to put on a strap-on and ram your frustration into her. She's your best friend. She's supposed to be on your side. You also want to climb on the couch and stuff my face in your cunt to shut me up."
Maeve couldn't help but be impressed. She, indeed, had thought about all of that.
"But knowing all that about you wasn't enough. After learning everything I could, it was time to see how you'd react. Starting with me and your mother."
Something clicked in Maeve's mind. "You wanted me to see you!"
Evelyn smiled. "I did. I made Naomi organize something and then cancel. She didn't know why, though, and from her point of view, it was harmless enough. My goal is not to break your friendships. They're important."
