Lost in the Drama

Prologue

"Hey Evelyn, did you hear the news?" Asks my best friend Kassidy as she runs to catch up with me.

"What news?" I ask trying not to show any interest.

"Well," she says eagerly, "Damian and Ella broke up because Ella wouldn't stop telling Damian to stay away from you. So just a fair warning, you might want to beware of Ella, she is determined to ruin your life now."

"Great," I say as sarcasticly as possible, " well I've egot to get to English class Kassidy, you know how Mr. Matthews is."

"Yeah, I know." We both laugh and go our seperate ways.

********************************************************************************************

I get to class just as the bell rings. I'm almost late, as usual. As I walk into the class I see a new face. He is beautiful. He must be a new student. I always try to hit it off good with the new students but if I do this might cause even more drama between Ella, Damian, and me. A voice snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Ms. Jones!" Says Mr. Matthews, he never calls anyone by their first name.

"Yes Mr. Matthews?" I ask, trying to seem as innocent as possible.

"I have a question for you, since you seem to be listening so eagerly," oh great, here comes the embarassment, "please tell me why you think that the school is or is not providing good enough punches for the students." Oh, this is a piece of cake.

"In my opinion, Mr. Matthews, the school is doing a fine job of providing us with healthy but good tasting foods." I say, knowing that it won't be good enough, "they are giving us healthy foods while still trying to get us to eat it." Mr. Matthews just stares at me as if he's ready to rip my head off. I turn to my left just in time to see the new boy sitting beside me. He smiles and raises his hand.

"Yes, Mr. Jameson?" Mr.Matthews says, obviously annoyed.

"Would it be okay for me to save Ms. Jones?" He asks grinning in my direction.

"I suppose." The boy beside me gives a terrific logical reasoning and then attempts to give me all of the credit when I don't even know his first name.

********************************************************************************************

The bell finally rings. My saviour boy comes and stands in front of my desk, ready to introduce himself.

"Hey, my name is Dylan." He says as he reaches out to shake my hand.

"Nice to meet you Dylan," I say sheepishly, "oh, and thanks for saving me a little bit ago, I really needed that help." I say with a smile on my face.

"No problem, hey I never got your name."

"Oh," I say as I feel the heat rushing into my face, how could I forget to introduce myself!? "My name is Evelyn, obviously you know my last name thanks to Mr. Matthews." He laughs I love his laughm it really shows off his dimples. "Hey do you want to sit with me at lunch today?" I ask excitedly.

"Yeah, sure, I'd love to get to know you better," he looks at his watch, "oh man, I've got to go, don't want to be late to one of my classes on my first day! See you around Evelyn!" He shouts as he runs out of the room.
