Evan's (P.O.V.):

Faith pulled her hand away from my grip, turning around.

"After everything you've done, I won't even be shocked if you raise your hand on me." She said. "It's not like it's the first time you would do that."

I rolled my eyes, feeling highly annoyed.

"Hey everybody, I think Ev wants to slap Faith!" Wilhem exclaimed.

I looked at him angrily.

"I mean, not that...Not that...Not that it's any of my business..." He said nervously, looking away.

I sighed, looking back at Faith.

"I will get revenge for these two slaps when I break your confidence," I said. "And that day won't be far away."

She scoffed, walking away.

Wilhem and the rest of the school continued to wait for more drama.

I looked at Wilhem, putting my hands in my pocket.

He looked at me confusedly.

I raised my eyebrows in annoyance.

"Oh...Oh, okay..." He said in realization. "Everybody, there's no drama going on! So get on with your lives and mind your own businesses!"

Everybody groaned in disappointment, filling the hallway with commotion.

Wilhem nervously walked up to me.

"Ev...I got...I got everybody to mind their own b-"

"Now, why don't you do that?" I interrupted.

"Do what?"

"Mind your own business."

"Oh...Um...Yeah, of course, I was just about to l-"

"Then get lost."

He raised his eyebrows.

I sighed, shaking my head.

"Yeah, I understand you're acting this way because of Faith." He said. "I know you will be back to the fun-loving Ev pretty s-"

"Just leave!" Jake, Michael, DJ, Liam, and Josh exclaimed simultaneously, getting the remaining people in the hallway's attention.

He looked around, feeling embarrassed.

"Alright then!" He exclaimed, walking backward. "I got you guys! Yeah, we'll hang out later, for sure! I'll meet you guys later!"

I sighed heavily, exchanging looks with Jake.

Jake shook his head, crossing his arms over his chest.

Wilhem left the hallway immediately.

"Evan, what was all that about?" Jake asked.

"What!?" I asked in confusion.

"That challenge that Faith just threw at you."

"Yeah, what's going on?" DJ asked.

I sighed, turning away.
