CHAPTER THREE "so a wifi connection and a dream?"
WHEN SARAH HAD OFFERED for Evelyn to join herself and Topper on a boat ride, the girl had happily declined the idea. Of course she was a little more tactful when it came to saying no, offering up some weak excuse about needing to fix some things up around the house. In reality, her plan is to sit around and watch movies all day.
The backup generators that Alex had insisted on having are being worked overtime at the moment, the air conditioning helping to cool the air down. She cannot exactly understand why Sarah wanted to go out on the water on such a warm day, it isn't Evelyn's idea of a fun time.
The girl grabs a can of soda out of the fridge and some chips from the cupboard before practically throwing herself down on the couch. Now comes the part she dreads every time she does this, trying to find something she actually wants to watch. Usually she'll have Sarah to help her out with the choice, the blonde more than happy to scroll through the movies until she finds a good one.
A small smile pulls at her lips when she sees Clueless, still a little annoyed at the fact Sarah had switched it off on her a few days back. It's then the decision is made and she settles in to watch one of her favourite movies.
"This... stupid... trust her?"
Evelyn frowns, sitting up a little straighter. The voices aren't coming from the TV, nor are they coming from her backyard, they're coming from near her front door.
"She's cool—" A familiar voice states.
"She's a kook!" A feminine voice responds.
Evelyn walks to the front door and stands on her tiptoes so that she can see out the peephole on the door. Her eyebrows scrunch together in confusion when she sees the four of them standing on her doorsteps — JJ, John B, Pope and Kiara.
She opens up the door and the four of them cease their conversation instantly, each of them looking as if they've been caught doing something wrong. Evelyn offers them a hesitant smile, a small amount of concern flowing through her at the sight of them. For all of them to turn up at her house, unannounced mind you, there must be something up.
"Hey," Evelyn greets, eyes flicking from one pogue to another quite quickly. "Is there a reason you're on my doorstep?"
"Maybe we just missed you, sunshine. There isn't always an ulterior motive," JJ shrugs with a grin.
"Mm, right. What can I help you with?"
Evelyn notices the way John B and JJ share a glance, Kiara looking the furthest thing from happy at the entire situation and Pope just looks like his naturally awkward self. Eventually it's John B who steps forward and speaks to her.
