You shouldn't be a stranger in your own backyard.

|Chapter fifty six|

"I know right. That teacher have some agenda against me. Like I wasn't even cheating or anything okay?"

I gave him a look.

"Okay fine. I might be asking one question from Aaron but that was it. Big deal man."

I continued listening to Ashton brag about how the teacher in our classroom kept pointing him out for strange reasons while we were giving our chemistry exam.

Yes. Finally exams are over. Yay.

I can't even express how happy I am. Last ten days have been fully hectic. And now I feel so relieved as if all the burden from my shoulder was off. Now I was looking forward to our trip. Oh yes, so many exciting things about to happen.

"So Aaron is gonna meet us up directly at your house?" I asked Ashton getting inside his car.

"Thats what he said."

I nodded.

We were planning to hangout at Ashton's place just the three of us. On our ride to his house, we picked up some food from Macdonalds.

"Your hunger has no end Skyler."

I rolled my eyes at Ashton.
"Oh shut up. I'm just hungry 'cause I haven't eaten all day."

"Yeah because you were stressing out so much about chemistry exam which gladly went so great. Didn't it?"

"Yes. I wasn't expecting the exam to be easy you know but thankfully it was. I think I aced it." I said proudly. Ashton smiled at me.

Soon enough we reached Ashton's house which wasn't that far from school. It was about fifteen minutes ride. This was actually the first time that I was visiting his house which was weird because we have been so close friends for almost eight months. Ashton's parents were dead so he stays in his foster house. From the looks he has told me about his foster family it didn't seemed like he belonged to a foster family, it felt like they were his own parents because he told me how good they treat him and how lovely they're. I was excited to meet them.

Ashton rang the doorbell and a girl opened the door who looked our age and to be honest she seemed familiar. She wore a yellow coloured floral dress with her hair tied up in a messy bun. I noticed that she wasn't wearing any makeup yet she looked really beautiful. Was she Ashton's step sister or foster sister? I don't know what to call her.

"Oh hey Evieee," Ashton greeted her dragging her name or nickname I guessed.

"Oh god you're home. Means time for me to go." Evieee or whatever her name was groaned. She looked at me, "hey I'm Evelyn Summers. You must be Skyler right?"

Evelyn? Evelyn?

Yes a bell rang in my head.

"Oh Evelyn! Yeah, hey. That's why you looked so familiar when I saw you first but couldn't remember where I've seen you." I greeted her.
