"Hey I was looking for you." he said with a big smile on his face. "really?" I asked really surprised. Since when was Evan the one to look for me, if anything I would look for him. "Yeah, I wanted to ask you something.." at that very moment my stomach grumbled. "Oh you hungry? Because I know this great place close to here." "Yeah, I'm starving actually, thanks!" I gave him a big smile because he's being so sweet and plus free food.
He started walking so I followed him. We were walking in silece until I couldn't take it anymore so I said, "What is it you wanted to ask me?" "Oh uh I was just gonna tell you that there is a party a couple months from now and I was wondering if you wanted to I don't know maybe go with me?"
Is he practically asking me to go as his date...? "Erm I-I.." "You don't have to answer now," Phew "Anyways we're here." I look to where he was pointing and we were at Pizza Pizza. I turn to him and give him the biggest smile because I love pizza almost as much as I love chocolate and I love chocolate a lot. I take his hand and drag him in.
Ding Ding the bell goes to notify that they have new customers.
"Good afternoon!" I politely said to the lady running the cash register. "Hello," she replied, "what would you guys be ordering?" I instantly knew what I wanted, pepperoni pizza of course; it's the only kind I really like to be completely honest. "3 meat please." Evan replied just as politely.
I gave him a quick glance and noticed he had a dreamy expression on his face, wonder why. "That'll be about 10 minutes then." The lady informed us, "I'll just find a table to sit at while we wait then I guess." I told him, then I shyly left.
I chose a table where I hoped no one would notice I was there and just let my mind wander. Everything that had happened today, Toby admitting all those things, saying Evan and I don't belong, me not being able to say anything because rightnow I don't even know how I feel. I hate catching feelings for someone because then everything becomes so complicated. This is why you should just try and not like anyone, it would solve most of your problems. "Easier said than done." I said aloud to myself. "What's easier said than done?" Evan asked curiously. "Oh hey, when did you get here?"
"Like a minute ago, you were lost in thought so I didn't want to bother you, plus you looked adorable." He said casually. Usually that would make my heart beat a mile a minute, but for some reason it's not. "Haha funny," I replied back, calmer than I thought, "I also see you have the pizza." I said happily. I never realized how hungry I really was. "Yes." He said a huge grin forming on his face.
I instantly dove in like come on, there's a perfectly good hot and ready pizza right in front of you, wouldn't you just dive in? That's that I thought.
I didn't want to look like a total pig since I took only 2 slices and ate like an actual girl. I noticed he hadn't touched any and was just watching me which kind of got me creeped out because I hate it when people stare at me while I'm doing something. I finished chewing and turned to him, "what?" I asked cautiously hoping there wasn't anything caught in my teeth. "nothing, just watching." he says as casually as ever. "So you like watching people while they eat? Isn't that a little weird, even for you." I jokingly teased him. He turned slightly pink and then grabbed a small piece of pizza. "so.." I start ti say to fill in for the silence, "where you just like stalking me or something?" I asked really curious as to how he knew where I would be. "Well I mean its not like we aren't neighbors or anything you." he joked, "right." I then giggle a little at my own stupidity. He just has that same old goofy grin on his face.
We eat the rest of our food in silence. He only has 3 pieces while I just eat my 2 slices. I check the time and see that its getting kind of late and my sister would maybe be worried so its time for me to leave.
I wait for him to finish eating then I get up, throw our mess away, wait for him and we head off. We were walking in silence, but a comfortable silence so it wasn't as bad. It at least lets my mind wonder so that's not so bad. I can't help but go back to the Toby thing, why didn't he have to like me? Why couldn't he just be a normal guy and like the snotty popular girls? It would at least make things easier. I let out a frustrated sigh. I like our friendship though, but now its going to be hella awkward.
"Something wrong?" Evan asks, slightly worried. "I hate feelings." "Pardon?" I sigh again, I really didn't want to have to explain what happened between me and Toby so I just said "Everythings fine or at least its nothing time won't fix.. I hope." he looked at me a little longer, trying to figure something out but couldn't so he just turned away.
I was hoping this day would end so I could just dream or more likely watch movies alnight till I can't take no more and fall asleep without anything nor anyone interrupting me.
It took a while longer but we finally made it home. Not a moment too soon either. I thought happily. "Thanks for the pizza and for distracting me for a little while." I never realized it but its true, Evan had kind of distracted me from my own messed up life for a bit. "My pleasure! You know we should do this again sometime, I really enjoyed it." he said truthfully, " ya we should!" I completely agreed with him, it was fun. "Anyways I'll see you at school tomorrow?"
"Definitely!" I said giving him a huge smile. He was about to leave but then I gave him a surprise hug. It felt really nice but not as nice as one of Toby's. What the fuck is wrong with you Emily.. "I wish I could tell you, but I too don't know." I replied to myself. I let go and let him leave.
I turned and walked inside. Once inside I took my jacket off and went straight upstairs. I realized it was too quiet in here but I couldn't careless, if anything my siblings were just in their rooms doing whatever the hell they wanted.
When I got to my room I instantly went on Netflix, trying to figure out something to watch. I was trying to decide whether or not I should take a shower but in the end I decided against it because I was too lazy and tired. I chose to continue watching PLL without any distractions.
It actually wasn't such a bad day, either than the Toby thing it would have actually been a pretty good day but whatever, its like they say, everything happens for a reason.

Omg hey guys I am so terribly sorry its been such a long time, its just I've been busy with a lot of things and didn't really have enough time or energy really to be honest to write but I am trying to pick it up.
I feel like the story is a little bit boring for you guys so I'm trying to spice it up a little bt and see how that goes. Who knows maybe it might make it 10 times better or worse, I have no idea.
Right now I have 3 other chapters waiting so I'll try to finish 11 as soon as possible and start on the 12 so it would give you guys something to read while I finish the others.
I hope you all are enjoying this and that its making somewhat sense to you all even with the spelling mistakes and everything, please just try and ignore them and everything will be just peachy.
