Evelyn's POV
My names Evelyn Taylor Jones. My mother is April Jones she had my brother i thought things changed and she was gonna stick around no she left in less than a year.So I guess you could say we don't have the best relationship.My dad well I don't know much about him except his name may or may not be Michal but I don't know he walked out as soon as my mom got pregnant.I have one half brother he's younger he's 7 I guess he's like a normal 7 year melts stuff he gets in trouble occasionally. His best friend is our neighbor Liam Gallagher they grew up together they do every together.Im really close to Debbie Gallagher I'm not really close to any of Debbie's siblings I get along with them all except for Carl Gallagher something about him thinking every one wants him and the whole womanizer thing is just a turn off.We are the same age sadly and in the same grade he just had to stay in school the whole summer to catch up to where he was supposed to be,obviously he's not the brightest.I mean I really don't know much about him except he got caught trafficking drugs and he just got out of Juvie for it.

I guess we've always had this unspoken mutual agreement to not talk to each other.It was going good until Mr.Lukas thought it would be a good idea to pear us up as partners in science.I got away with never really speaking to him until my 10th grade year thanks to Mr.Lukas.

I just had to suck it up and sit next to him who knows we may never interact with are partners,we many not even do partner work I thought. Nope I was wrong "listen up"Mr.Lukas practically screamed "I'm passing out an all about me work sheet I want you and your partner to do out loud after all this will be your partner all year long you should get to know one another" I

would rather not is the only thought that ran through my head already done with all this.He was the first to start talking

"Evelyn look we're gonna be stuck partners don't mean I'm gonna love it but we gotta accept the fact we're stuck talking to each other" he made sense.

I sat up in my chair "yeah whatever let's just get this done so we can say we actually did it"I said in a monotone.

"So number 1 full name mines Evelyn Taylor Jones" I said really wanting to finish so we didn't have talk

"Carl Francis Gallagher "is all he said

"okay number 2 I was born on the south side of Chicago" I look it him hinting it's his turn

"same here" I look at the next question "god what are we 2 "is the only thing I mumbled.

He laughed and when he looked to see what I was talking about."you just wanna skip the rest" he says

"gladly" is all I say back to him.

He looks at me and he gets this look on his face like he was confused he finally speaks up "how comes your always at my house,we're neighbors and your best friends with my sister yet we've never really talked" .

I just answer with"never wanted to" I flash a smile at me.

He did his famous smirk and said "damn baby girl that hurt"

my smile dropped if you could see my face the color most likely drained."don't call me that again "

he squeezed my arm "it was just a joke " this time he said it with a smile not a smirk but a actual smile.

All I could think about was him calling me baby girl and wanting him to say it again I pushed the thought down and just smiled back at him.

The bell finally rang I have never grabbed my stuff so fast I rushed out the door. I looked down to my schedule to see what my next class I turn around realizing I went in the wrong direction I didn't even think when I ran out the door but I notice the only white boy in are school with cornrows walking in the same room.
