Evelyn waits for the summer eagerly every year.It was the time of the year when she could reunite with her friends and family but things turn different this year.The boy on whom she had a crush for so long has changed alot and things go awkward betw...
Isa went into Steven's room as she wanted to talk to him and I went to my room. "It hurts!" I exclaimed while looking at the mirror. "You shouldn't have stepped in to begin with." Conrad said and he came inside the room. "You're wasted right now, Conrad ." "I am sober enough." he had an icepack in his hand, he came closer and put it on my nose. I groaned in pain. He cupped my face gently in his hands and put a strand of my hair behind my ear, I could feel my heart beat rising. "I can be an asshole sometimes, but I can't do anything without you . I...I want to be a better person for you, Eve." A tear rolled down his cheek and he hugged me. "Who the hell does he think..he is..." Isa shouted as she slammed open the door. Conrad quickly pulled away from the hug. "Dang..I am so sorry." she continued. "It's alright..just take care of your sister." he said while leaving the room.
Isabel nodded and locked the room after he left. "I didn't know he was here otherwise.." she said and sat down beside me. "It's okay." I replied. "Was he actually crying?" "Yeah...I am sure something's going on but I can't just find the right moment to talk to him." "You can always try talking to him..go to bed for now you need to rest sista." "take these painkillers before sleeping...Steven gave them.." she continued. I nodded and took the meds.

I woke up abit late today and it seems like Isa already woke up and left. I quickly took a shower and went downstairs. I greeted Laurel and Susannah who were busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast. "Morning, Evei." Jeremiah said as he put his arm around my shoulder. "Morning Jere!" I reply while smiling not to mention Jeremiah was like the epitome of positivity, you can just talk to him for a while and you'll end up forgetting all your problems.
"Since everyone's here..I'd like to announce that Belly has agreed to be a debutant this year." Susannah says while looking at Isa. Susannah seems so happy right now, she's always like a second mom to Isa and me "And Evei will be joining her as well." Susannah shifts her gaze towards me. I nod while smiling at her. She pulls me and Isa into a hug.
"Belly and Evei..debutantes..." Steven bursts into a laughter. "Shut up, Steven." Isa replies. "You'll be having the tea, the auction, rehearsals..the ball...I got to write this down..oh and we need to go shopping!" Susannah sounded so excited. "this sounds expensive." Laurel said. "Don't worry Laurel it's on me, it was my idea afterall." Susannah replied. "Guys are you sure you want to do this..it doesn't seem very you." Laurel asks looking towards me and Isa. "It's not." Conrad commented. "Conrad could you please be a little more supportive? now which one of you will be Belly's and Evei's escort to the ball?" Susannah asked.
"not me I went last year." Conrad murmured. "yeah, and I swore off balls..I mean the dances." Jeremiah says. "wow guys stop fighting over me." Isa says while laughing. "We are not going with either of you, we can find our own date." I said.

Susannah and Laurel were trying to find the perfect ball gown for me and Isa since the last two hours or so. We tried alot of gowns but none of them seemed to match Susannah's mind. Isa tried on a new gown now, she looked gorgeous in it but judging by her facial expressions I knew she didn't approve of this gown. Still when she saw the smile appearing on Susannah's face she agreed to go with that one. "Look at that detail..everybody's eyes will fall out of their heads when they see our girl." said Susannah "I love you so much, but you're ridiculous." Laurel chuckles. "I love you so much and I know I'm ridiculous." Susannah replies while laughing. "what about this one?" I bought that dress to Susannah.

"oh no no..that's too simple, honey." Susannah says. "but this dress seems like Belly." Laurel comments. "Belly looks like a princess in this dress we don't need anymore dresses sweetheart." Susannah says while looking at me. "Belly you like this dress?" Laurel asks while pointing at the dress Belly was wearing. Isa nods while smiling. "See I told you." Susannah smiles. "Evei..what about this dress?" Susannah says while pointing at a beautiful gown. I quickly change into that dress and step outside the changing room to look in the mirror.

I felt pretty in it.
"You look like a princess!" Isa exclaims. "Why does it feel like..I am shopping for your weddings Belly and Evei?" Laurel says dramatically. "Then feel like it, Laur. Evei do you like this dress?" Susannah asks me. "Yes, I like it." I quickly reply. "Alright then..hand over your dresses to me so I can go pay." She says while looking at me and Isa. After all the shopping was completed, Laurel dropped us off at the country club.

"Do I look like a fool right now?" Isa asked me. "No..it's alright." I reply while adjusting her hair. "Jeremiah!" Isa laughs and I turn around to see Jeremiah coming towards us. "Oh my god Belly..I didn't even recognize you!" He says. "Do we look that pretty?" I say while flipping my hair, that makes the three of us laugh. "You guys look good..let me walk with you two ." I slowed down my pace and I walk behind them to let them have their moment also I don't want to third-wheel my sister. "Are those pineapples?" he asks while looking at Isa's dress. "Pineapples? no they are flowers..have you seen flowers before?" Isa replies. "I have but that's for sure pineapple." he says.
"Jeremiah." a woman calls when we reach the hall. "Paige!" Jere responds. "Where's your shirt?" "It's always a pleasure." "This is belly..I mean Isabel Conklin the young woman my mom told you about, my future wife." Jeremiah says and Isa pinches him. "And this is Evelyn Kang my future sister in law." He continues. "They're late." The woman simply replies. "We are sorry." I apologize. "You're at table two."

"Hi." Isa said. "Hey!" the girl replied, it was Nicole. "Hi." I say while smiling. "Seems like I have seen you guys." the other girl spoke up, if I wasn't wrong she was with my brother last night. "That party was a mess anyways ..oh I am Shayla by the way." she continued. "I am Evelyn and she's my sister Isabel." I say while pointing towards Isa. They all converse about alot of topics.
"Isabel, you're a sophomore and Evelyn is in her junior year right?" Nicole asks. "I'll be a junior in the fall and Evelyn will be a senior." "are you and Jeremiah going to the ball together?" Gigi asks. "They're family friends..you don't need to worry about this." Nicole reassures Gigi. "Why are you worried though?" Shayla asks. "I am not..you seem kinda interested in him." Gigi responds. "Definitely not." Shayla replies. "You are staring at that waiter since like..forever." Nicole sounded annoyed. "That's Steven." Isa exclaimed. Shayla gave her a side-eye. "He's our brother." I quickly say. "wait..what?" Shayla sounded so excited. "Yeah..and I feel sorry for you." Isa says. That made me laugh a little. "why?" "You'll know when you date Steven..he's an idiot..and.." Isa gets interrupted when Paige starts speaking.
The best change in the series was adding Shayla's character, I loved her so much..so sad she isn't in season two:( Also I liked Conrad and Evelyn's little moment in this chapter! I love y'all!!! Hope you have a good day;)
