Highschool life (tbs ff)

Chapter 7

( Evelyn Pov )

It was Saturday, and I woke up a little late. I checked my phone and saw a message from my mom saying they went on a business trip for a week. It was the first day of spring break. I took a shower and put on a Hello Kitty oversized shirts and shorts. I headed downstairs to eat breakfast. As I was about to go down the stairs, I heard a familiar voice coming from downstairs.

"DYLAN!?" I shouted.

"YES?" Dylan shouted back. I walked down the stairs, I saw Thomas. He saw me wearing my Hello Kitty shirt, and I quickly went back upstairs because it was embarrassing. I changed into an oversized PJ shirt and black leggings and headed back down.

"Why did you go up?" Dylan asked and then added, "Oh, because you were wearing your Hello Kitty shirt," Dylan said, laughing his face off. I rolled my eyes.

"So, Mom and Dad went on a little trip" I said

"Yeah, I know. No need to tell me" Dylan said. As I made myself and iced coffee and a toast, I asked Thomas, "Why are you here?"

"Are you talking to me?" Thomas asked.

"Yes, I am" I said.

"Dylan invited me over. Why?" Thomas replied.

"I was just wondering" I said while eating my toast. I sat at the dinner table and texted my friends on my phone.

the KEJ ( Kaya, Evelyn, James ) friend group 

You:
Guys, want to have a sleepover?

Kaya:
Sorry, my family and I are on a trip. I already told you about this last night, remember?

You:
I couldn't remember anything, sorry.

Kaya:
Oh well, you were a little drunk, Evelyn. Haha

James:
Oh yeah, did you and the pretty boy kissed?

Kaya:
What!? They kissed!?

You:
No. we didn't. And Kaya, I wasn't drunk.

James:
Yes, you were. You were in the bar sleeping and Dylan carried you to your room.

You:
Oh, I didn't know that

Kaya:

Sorry James and Evelyn. I couldn't make it today. It was a last minute plan. We're already at the airport.

James:
Same, I have to take care of my grandmother today. Sorry, Evelyn.

You:
That's okay, guys. I'll text you later!

I texted James and Kaya, feeling a little bit sad.

"Who were you texting?" Thomas asked.

"My friends," I replied as I took a bite of my toast.

"Kaya, and who's the other guy?" Thomas asked.

"James, my best friend," I said.

"A trio, interesting. A lot of people say trios don't work," Thomas said.

"Yes they do," I said.

"Thomas, come here. Let's watch the movie!" Dylan told Thomas.

"I'm going out today," I told Dylan.

"You can't, Mom put me in charge" Dylan said.

"What!?" I shouted, "Nooo, please, brother, please" I said to Dylan with puppy eyes.

"Fine," Dylan said, feeling defeated.

"Where are you going?" Thomas asked.

"I don't know, probably the central park?" I said.

"How about your friends?" Dylan asked.

"Kaya's on a trip, and James' needs to take care of her grandma," I said.

"So, you're alone?" Thomas said.

"Yeah," I said.

"That's pretty dangerous, a girl walking alone in a busy city" Thomas said.

"Yeah," I said.

"She's fine. Last month, she already went to the central park alone, and she survived!" Dylan said.

"Well, it's because you left me," I said to Dylan rolling my eyes. I finished my toast and coffee and went upstairs to get ready. After finishing. I headed back downstairs.

"Bye guys. I'll be home by 2 PM" I said.

"Do you need a ride?" Thomas asked.

"No thank you, I'll take the bus" I said. Dylan and Thomas said goodbye as they watched their movie.

As Evelyn closed the door, I turned to Dylan.

"I don't think I can do the dare," I said

'No, you have to do it. You have 30 days to make her fall in love with you and then tell her it was all a prank," Dylan said while watching the movie.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" I shouted at Dylan. "Sorry, I was just tired"

"I don't think you're tired. It's morning," Dylan said, raising his eyebrows. "Wait, you probably like her, don't you?" Dylan asked me.

"No, I don't. I was just worried that I'll hurt her feeling after that," I said, knowing that the part when I told Dylan that I didn't like his sister was a lie. The truth was, I did like her. I didn't know how to feel around Evelyn. Whenever she's around, she makes me nervous, but in a good way. My heart beats so fast when I see or talk to her. I just don't know how to feel. I sat back, trying to focus on the movie, but my mind kept drifting back to Evelyn. The thought of hurting her with this prank made me feel uneasy. I sighed deeply, wondering how I could navigate this situation without causing her pain or revealing my true feelings too soon. Why did I even agreed to this? I asked myself.
