"It's driving me crazy, Daithi! I can't keep up with her," Craig's head fell against his desk and he immediately regretted doing that. "Honestly, she's an amazing influence, but I'm exhausted."

It had been two weeks since their little trip to La Jolla. Evanee still hadn't contacted her aunt, but she was able to get a job. The only problem was that she didn't start until another week and a half.

Since they both spent all of their time at home, Craig hadn't been able to rid himself of Evanee's lifestyle.

Craig was healthy and fit. He worked out more than the average person and avoided most unhealthy foods, but Evanee was a whole other story. She ran at five a.m. every single morning, tried to eat healthy meals every day, went to the gym four times a week, and cleaned like there was no tomorrow.

It would've been perfectly okay if she hadn't really convinced Craig to do these things with her.

At first, he was able to handle it. Running and going to the gym was a regular thing for him and changing his diet to be a little healthier didn't bother him either. Even the cleaning wasn't bad since the apartment was always so tidy.

Then a few days passed and it became difficult to catch up with Evanee. His limbs were sore everyday, the gym became a second home, he missed being able to eat candy, and he honestly hated cleaning until everything was perfect.

"When Evanee wants something, she's determined to get it. At least that never changed about her. Everything else is pretty new to me though. Evanee rarely worked out in high school. She used to sit at home on her laptop and order takeout all the time. Plus the only thing she cleaned was her bedroom," David told Craig, confused about Evanee's new habits.

When he was about to say goodbye to David, Evanee opened the front door. "Craig, I'm back."

"How was your run?"

"Good, got a faster time than usual," she smiled, grabbing a bottled water from the fridge. "Who's on the phone?"

"It's Daithi. You want to say hi," Craig held out his phone.

Before she went to Craig, the green eyed girl chugged a bit of water down.

"Hey, David! How've you been?"

"Good, considering that Berenice flew out to visit her parents and won't be back for a week. I heard you've really been cracking down on Craig recently. What's up with the healthy shit?"

"Nursing made me paranoid, I guess. My metabolism isn't the same as it used to be in high school too so that's a thing. You have any plans for today? The house is pretty clean and I don't have much to do."

Daithi was persistent on inviting Evan, Jonathan, and Tyler. The young woman was perfectly fine with them, but it still had her speechless every time she even thought of Jonathan or Evan since she was still unsure of who whispered in her at the beach. Craig never really answered her either and no matter how many times she asked, he would always give her a vague answer. The only difference was that she lived with him so she didn't get flustered thinking about that with Craig anymore.

It took a few minutes, but David was able to convince her for all of them to hang out at Evan's place, including Craig. Kelly would be there this time and so would Sydney.

Sydney made an effort in apologizing and trying to befriend Evanee, which was pretty challenging considering that Evanee never bothered to answer her texts most of the time. Still, Evanee learned to kind of like Sydney. Sure, she was a bit snobby in high school but the girl had the same interests as her: Clothes, Video Games, and all things Marvel. Sydney's presence wasn't all that bad. In fact, Evanee kind of liked her.

"So, we'll see you guys around lunch, okay? Bye."

"We going to Evan's?" Craig asked, confirming it.

"We leave in about three hours and thirty minutes. Hope traffic isn't horribly."

She left to go take a well needed shower while Craig began editing his latest video. A vlog, which he hadn't made in quite a while. It was a lot of footage from their time at the beach and Craig had so many little pictures and short videos. He was glad he was commentating to the camera while thy were there. If he hadn't, the entire video would just be a slideshow.

He was looking through the footage and stopped at a certain spot. It was when he and Evanee were sitting on one of the large rocks and laughing, but he saw Evan's face in the background glaring at him from behind.

Evan looked annoyed beyond belief, but Craig continued watching the footage. Only a few second later, Tyler pushed him in and Evanee was pulled into the water by Evan. Craig didn't want to believe that Evan was jealous, especially since he had a girlfriend, but what would be the only other logical solution?

Forgetting about it, Craig continued watching the rest of the footage, making a note to crop Evan out of that part of the video. He only worked for a few more minutes before going to his room to get ready. All they'd be doing was going to Evan's house so all he wore were jeans and he was looking for his Charizard tee shirt.

Suddenly, Evanee opened the door to his bedroom while he was shirtless and he immediately turned around so that she was facing his back.

"Oh, sorry," Evanee said nonchalantly. "Do you have any extra shirts I could borrow?"

When she moved from Manhattan, she wasn't able to bring that many belongings so she only brought her nicest clothing, leaving some of her old tee shirts behind.

Seeing that Evanee was so calm, Craig decided to turn around but his face became a slight pink when he saw that Evanee was only wearing a towel. Her body was mostly behind the door, but the fact that she wasn't actually clothed made Craig nervous. He quickly checked his drawers and threw Evanee his Bulbasaur tee shirt.

When Craig finally did find his shirt and Evanee changed, they looked pretty cool. Evanee wore Craig's shirt with a pair of jean overalls, which were basically jeans shorts and suspenders connected.

"Damn, Craig," Evanee said, mimicking the viral video,"back at it again with the white vans."

Craig was, in fact, actually wearing the white vans he had bought before 'Damn Daniel' became famous. Now he was too afraid to wear them in public in fear that all he'd ever hear was 'Damn Daniel'.

It happened the first time he wore them after it became popular. It was a traumatic experience.

"You ready?" Evanee asked, opening the front door.

"Yeah, do you want to get some Starbucks on the way?"

"I thought you'd never ask."

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

I'm still open to all suggestions for the story. How do you feel about the comparison of Evanee's life before and after college? Do you guys like her now or before? (I already know most of you will say before, but I like her now since I believe she grew up and takes most things in life more seriously now) Vote and comment what you think or who you want her to end up with

And as always I hope ye enjoyed(:)

P.S. I'd really appreciate it if you guys answered all the questions^*wink wink*I don't even care if you guys comment more than once. I actually like when that happens. Also, since most of you ship her with Mini, comment the reason why
