Evangeline (also known as Eve, Ange, and angel) is an eighteen year old girl who just graduated Huntington Beach Highschool, and has high expectations going out into the world and being "free".

Jimmy (also known as James, Jim, Jimbo, and Crazy Motherfucker) is an eighteen year old boy who also just graduated Huntington Beach Highschool, and is more excited now- more than ever to go crazy after finally getting out of that prison people call "school".


---------------------------------------


"Argsuabsudjsgs...ugh" I grumble as I turn to look at my end-table clock.
"8am.." Wait.. fUCK I AM LATE FOR SCHOOL
OH MY GOD
I jump off my bed and frantically run around my room to get ready for school- brushing my teeth while putting on my shirt, and trying to comb my hair out.
Multitasking is my hidden talent.
"Oh god oh god oh god oh god why" I whisper to myself; when suddenly I remember something- some minor little detail...I graduated three months ago.
"Jesus fucking Christ." I throw everything on the floor and fall onto my comfy bed.
God this is the last time this is happening. I'm tired of giving myself heart attacks!!
I lay in my bed for about an hour; unable to go back to sleep.
I wonder what Brian's doing today, "probably nothing" I chuckle to myself.

Fyi- Brian Haner is my best friend; has been for a long time.
I've known him since I was 7, and he was 7 too.
He knows me like the back of his hand, and vice versa.
I love him, he's a little shit sometimes but he's still my bff.

I pick up the phone that sits on my end-table and dial his house phone number.
"Hello?" the voice on the other end said, with a slight cough.
I could tell it was his daddy.
"Hi is Bri there? it's Eve." I replied. "Hi sweetheart! Actually Brian just walked out the door. Want me to grab him for you?" he said generously.
Brian Sr was like a second dad to me, I love him to death.
"Sure- why not" I chuckled.
I heard some noises coming from the other end, like he had dropped the phone or something.
I tried my hardest not to laugh; but it was very difficult to succeed.
"Brian get your ass back in the house! Eve's on the phone!" I hear a quiet whiny grunt.
I figured it was Brian.
"Here he i-" Brian Sr was interrupted. "What Eve?" Little Brian asked impatiently.
"Where are you off to, mr grumpy pants?" I laughed.
He sighed, "I was just about to head over to my friend Matt's house. Why?" He said in a "annoyed" tone of voice. "Oh I was just calling to see if you wanted to come over and chill...but it looks like you're busy" I trailed off a bit.
"Kinda, you can come if you want though. You remember Matt, right? He's the dude with the muscles." He chuckled.
I thought for a minute. Muscles...muscles..oh yeah!
"Yes! I've met him before. He's cool." I smile.
"Yeah! Sooo is that a yes to coming?" He asked, trying to stay on the subject. "Yeah, why not" I laughed.
"Alright. See you in 10 minutes!" He yelled as he hung up the phone.
I smiled and hung up my phone as well.
I ran around my room frantically picking random articles of clothing; trying to put a decent outfit together.
Once I did, I ran down the hallway and into the bathroom to change.
There's just something about getting dressed in my room that gives me the creeps.
Once I finished doing that I ran downstairs to the livingroom to wait for Brian.
It didn't take long for him to arrive. He's a pretty quick driver; sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it's not.
I opened the door right before he knocked.
He jumped back, startled. my bad. "Hey there," he chuckled, "you ready?" he asked.
He seemed very tired, there was a lack of energy in him for some odd reason. "Yessir" I smiled.
"Okiee doke. Did you eat anything?" He asked curiously.
He asks me this almost everyday.
It's only because I forget to eat sometimes; it's not that I don't want to, it's just something I forget to do. And I don't usually like eating right after I wake up- so in this case, I haven't eaten yet.
"Yessir! Now let's go." I say quickly, trying to get out the door.
He looked at me suspiciously, probably thinking that I lied.
Which I did.
"Alrighty then. Let's go." He says.
I run to his car and jump into the passenger seat.
"Hurry up you fuckin slowpoke" I yell at him.
He purposely starts walking really slow and struts down the driveway with a big dumb grin on his face, just to be annoying.
That little shit.
He finally reaches his car and jumps in, turning on the radio.
"Matt lives like, five minutes away." He states.
"Cool.." I say, sounding uninterested in his little fact.
((Purposely trying to annoy him back.))
He jokingly glares at me and continues to drive his car.
After a few minutes of random rambling, we arrive to Matt's house.
Matt greets us as we get out of Brian's car.
"Hey Matt" Brian says, giving Matt a hug.
"Hey dude." Matt smiled.
Not trying to sound weird or anything but damn those dimples are nice.
"You remember Evangeline right? I think you two have met a couple of times." Brian said with a slight smirk. Matt smiled, "Oh yeah, of course! How ya doin, Ange? It's been awhile." He laughed.
"It has indeed. And I'm doing alright, how about you?" I said with a smile.
"I'm doing alright as well." he chuckled.
"I'm fabulous thanks for asking" Brian said sarcastically, with his hands on his hips.
I roll my eyes and laugh.
Oh what a dork he is.
Matt chuckles, "Well lets head insi-" "DUDE!!!!!" Matt was abruptly interrupted by someone from inside the house.
I thought it was just gonna be Matt.
Suddenly, a strange looking boy comes running out of the house towards Brian and tackles him to the ground.
I laugh out of confusion; and because it was funny.
They both stand up, laughing.
Brian looks at both me and the random strange guy that just came out of Matt's house.
"Uh, Jimmy this is my friend Evangeline. Evangeline, this is Jimmy" Brian says with a grin on his face.
"Hi" I say shyly.
"Why hello there" Jimmy says with a smirk on his face.
I turn a light shade of pink, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
This dude is weird- but I feel like I've seen him before.
"Hah, alright lets being this party inside." Brian says, saving me from this situation.
Brian wraps his arm around me, leading into Matt's house; only to find two other guys sitting on the couch.
Oh great there's more.
"Who's the chick?" One of them asks. "The chicks' name is Evangeline. She's my bestfriend. Besides you guys of course." He chuckled.
"Hey Vange, I'm Zacky." He grinned. Vange. That's a new one.
"And I'm Johnny." The little one said.
"Hi there." I smiled cheekily.
"How come we've never met or hung out with her before?" Zacky asked.
"I'm the only one she likes." Brian teased.
I shoot Brian a little glare.
"Being the introvert I am, I don't usually like hanging out with many people. But I'm gonna change that now that I'm finally graduated and all." I said, hoping they understood.
"Well we don't bite so no need to be scared of us." Jimmy said with a chuckle.
"Speak for yourself" Zacky laughed.
"Alright alright, enough. Now, who wants a beer?" Brian said with a grin, changing the subject.
Thank god.
All of them said "me" besides me. I'm not much of a beer drinker, noting that I'm only eighteen; and a wimp.
"And what can I get you, Eve? Some breakfast or something? I know you're hungry, don't lie to me" Brian said with a raised eyebrow.
I rolled my eyes. I swear he can hear my stomach growl from 300 miles away.
I sigh, "what are the options?"
"I have tons of cereal, eggs, milk, oatmeal, cereal.." Matt said with laugh.
"Cereal sounds good." I laughed.
"Okiee doke." Brian smiled and moonwalked into the kitchen, leaving me alone with four boys I hardly know.
Thanks Brian.
"Hey Eve come here for a second!" Brian yelled from the kitchen.
I looked around at all of them, then awkwardly jogged into the kitchen.
"Coco puffs or fruity pebbles?" Brian asked, holding up the cereal boxes.
"Uhh, coco puffs." I answered.
"Oh and why the hell did you not tell me that there was gonna be tons of people here?! I thought it was just gonna be me, you, and Matt!!" I whispered loudly.
"I didn't know they'd be here, alright? I'm just as surprised as you are." Brian said softly.
I didn't really believe him, but I couldn't really do anything about it now.
"Alright.., and hey did that Jimmy dude go to our highschool? He seems somewhat familiar." I asked out of curiosity.
He laughed, "ohh yes. He was a maniac in highschool, he still is actually." Brian snickered.
"How so?"
"He terrorized everyone, didn't give a shit about anything, and got into fights almost everyday." he said, handing me my bowl of cereal.
"Oh god, I remember him" I mumbled.
"He freaked me out so much" I chuckled.
Brian laughed, and we both walked into the livingroom.
