Chapter 26 The Other Side

3rd Period P.O.V.

"What do you mean she just... disappeared?!?!" Ben asked. "I'm telling you, one minute she's there then the next... POOF! She's gone." Sky replied. 

Two hours prior...

"Yeah, she was acting really weird and she had her backpack with her." Sky told the others. Nico, Chaz, Jeff, Josh, and DeMarius thought he was just overreacting. "Well, I mean, if she said she was going to work then she was probably going to go do some work." Nico tried reasoning with Sky. "Yeah, he's right." Chaz agreed. "But doesn't it seem just a little suspicious that she's gOing to work on our day off with a big backpack, her laptop, camera, and the fact that she was in a rush." Sky continued. "I have to agree with Sky on this one. Evalina acts weird, sure, but never this weird." Josh replied. "She always travels light when she's working and usually just does her work in her hotel room." Sky said justifying his response. 

"Just wait a while, she'll probably be back in an hour or so." DeMarius said unconcerned. "Yeah, you need  to just be patient." Jeff said. "Now let's go explore." Chaz said. "We'll just hang back. I mean since Ben is here we can ask him about how his day went." Josh said wiggling his eyebrows. Sky smirked. They linked arms and skipped to the elevator. "Ta! Ta!" They cried in unison. 

Back to present....

"Well, she did say that she had somewhere, quote on quote, really important to be." Ben reasoned. "I'm sure she'll be back soon." He said. "For her boyfriend, you're really unconcerned." Josh said offhandedly. Ben's face turned very red. "Shut up! I don't even know if she likes me." Ben replied, his hands covering his face. "Yeah but you're Ben Cook. Back to the topic though, it's been two hours and her door hasn't so much as opened." Sky said flopping onto Josh's bed.  "She'll be back eventually. Plus she still has my hat." Ben replied.

"We better to get dinner. We can check on her after that." Josh said. " I want something that has to do with bacon. " "Yeah, yeah. Let's just get going." Sky said. " I don't wanna go. " Ben said. "But baaaaabe. I want food." Josh said tugging at his arm. "Then go alone. " "But I haven't seen you all day." Josh whined. " Fine. " Ben said getting out of bed.

They all decided to go out to a nearby pizzeria. After spending an hour and a half there they then went out to meet up with the others to go see a movie in a theater. As Dan Deluca put it, just a couple of regular guys doing regular guy things. After they had finished they all returned to the hotel. Sky broke off from the group with Josh, Ben, and DeMarius. "Honey, what am I doing here?" DeMarius asked. "Because... we're roommates." Sky said. "Real reason in five, four, three, two."DeMarius "Alright so you remember how I told you Evalina was acting weird earlier. Yeah so two or so hours later we went to go find her and she wasn't at her room so we're going to try again. Plus she accidentally stole Ben's hat. C'mon. Please, there's something going on, I just know it." 

"Let's just go check then. But I get to pick the movie tonight." DeMarius said. "YAY!" They all walked to her room. Josh knocked on the door. He waited a few minutes then tried again. "Maybe she just can't hear us. Try calling her." Sky suggested. Ben pulled out his phone and opened her contact. He lent against the wall. "No answer. All I got was voicemail." Ben said. "Try facetiming her." Sky suggested. "I don't, what? She's never face timed me wouldn't it be weird." "I can do it." DeMarius said pulling out his phone too. "You've face timed her?" Ben asked. "Yeah, sometimes she's on her computer and loses her phone and I just need to talk to her about something random." He said shrugging his shoulders. 

DeMarius tried. "She's not answering. I tried texting too. Maybe she's just busy or something. Just chill out guys, we'll see her at the show tomorrow. And if you're so curious just ask her then, or just keep trying to call her. Or just ask her uncle tomorrow." DeMarius said exasperated. "Fine. Let's go back to our rooms." Josh said.  "Let's just wait until tomorrow. We can just call or text her while we're in our rooms." Sky said sighing. "See you guys later." "Byee, we're going to go visit Steph and Ginna." Josh said. He dragged Ben with him to a room near Evalina's and knocked. "We've come to hang out." Ben said in a funny voice.
