"Hey, Evelyn." He sat next to me at my locker, leaning his darkened hair against the locker wall.
ALEX !!! :)
"Hi, Alex!!" I giggled, our shoulders ALMOST touching.
We were super close together. Like 2 inches apart. :)
"Hey, when you come back to school tomorrow, let's talk more about my mom and your mom. Like, their thing they had going on." He crossed his arms and locked eyes with me.
"Yeah, totally. Do you have any more stuff from your mom? I'll take anything I find and show it tomorrow! As like, evidence."
Getting up from the ground, he muttered, "Actually, I might have something. One second." And left.
What did he have?? :)
I sat patiently for about 3 minutes, watching kids kinda look at me while walking.
Why were they looking?? :(
Once he came back, he gave me a slightly ripped piece of crumpled paper.
In pink pen, two intials are drawn inside a heart.
M + M.
AWWWWWWW!!!!! :)
Is this Madison + Manora?!
"Aw, how cute! I wonder who drew this??" I giggled.
"Probably my mom. It WAS on her makeup mirror."
"Why? Isn't she super angry with her or something??" I asked in confusion.
"I think there's a part of her that still cares about your mom. I think there's more evidence of this."
His eyes met mine . Did he have something to ask??! :)
"Was your mom born in Minnesota or Michigan?"
"Minnesota, I think! I don't know? I never asked.."
I ACTUALLY DON'T KNOW ? :)
"What..?!" His eyebrows furrowed in disbelief, his perplexed eyes cut to me.
"Mom's saying she was with YOUR mom in MICHIGAN. Then she moved to Texas and THEN moved to Minnesota here about a year ago."
OH SO HE WAS BORN IN TEXAS.
SO COOL!!! :)
I smiled with intrigue. "Really! So you're assuming she moved here to find my MOM again?!" I giggled.
"Yep." He smiled in accomplishment.
