"feeling better?" venus nudged the blonde, an encouraging smile on her face.
swallowing the fries that were stuffed into her mouth, she turned her head to the left and stared directly into the girl's eyes, "no."
after school, evy was almost dragged over to a local diner, given no time to object.
the group of five best friends decided to take their girlfriends with them, corbyn almost forcing evelyn to tag along, as well as being joined by their college friend eben, and noah.
"listen," maia started, putting her phone away and looking up from across the table, "again, i'm sorry for noah."
"should you though?" hayley included herself in the exchange.
maia raised an eyebrow at her, "what do you mean?"
"what she means," coco also found herself wrapped up in the conversation, waving the food in her hand, "is that you shouldn't feel sorry because of your douche of a boyfriend."
no one spoke for a second, all the girls — apart from evy — nodding their heads, with only maia herself frowning.
"noah's not a douche," the black haired girl almost whined, looking around the table for any backup from any of the girls.
this time, no one answered her for different reasons, everyone avoiding eye contact and looking in the opposite direction.
"how should i say it," chloe bit her lip, her voice trailing off, "it's not the first time he messed up stuff between everyone."
wordlessly, not taking part in the conversation going on at her table, evy turned her head and looked over at the table at the other side of the diner.
corbyn looked slightly infuriated while noah had his hands up, looking as if he was defending himself.
jack seemed to be trying to calm both of them down at once while zach and jonah were taking each of them individually.
as the only not involved one, daniel sat against the wall, sipping on the drink in his hand as his eyes travelled from one side of the table to the other.
eben was no where to be found so as an initial guess, evy thought he probably went to the bathroom.
the blonde continued to look at them, having jack realise and shoot her a quick grin before going back to being the group's counsellor.
zoning back into the conversation at her own table, she looked around at all the girls who were still mid-talking.
"anyways," luna clapped her hands with a grin on her face, "let's move on."
"i failed my algebra test," venus beamed, probably too enthusiastically.
•••
for the rest of the evening the two separate groups stayed at the diner; eating, talking and laughing without stopping.
"hey hey," corbyn caught evy before she could walk too far away.
turning around she held her jacket close to her, shielding herself from the cold.
"i hope you're not too mad anymore," his eyes held sincerity as he held onto her upper arm.
"not mad," evy shrugged, pushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she avoided eye contact, "just disappointed."
"i'm sorry," the blonde frowned, repeating the two words another few times.
"yeah you've said that one before," she stated matter of factly, referring to the tenths of times he had apologised that day.
"i know i promised you," he ran a hand through his air, puffing his cheeks out, "it just, i don't know, happened."
"i'm kind of over it," a small smile creeped onto her face as she waved a hand, "don't know if the people at school are, but i am."
corbyn cursed underneath his breath, pinching the bridge of his nose as he looked up at the clouded sky.
"i'll make sure everyone knows it wasn't true," he tried to assure her, placing both of his hands on top of her shoulders.
with each other's eyes boring into one another, they stood there for a moment, no words escaping their mouths.
"okay," she shrugged, nodding up at the teen.
"i promise," the blonde was still looking down at her, his face morphed into seriousness, "and i won't break it this time."
"we've got to go!" jonah broke through their moment, shouting from somewhere behind them.
the two pulled away from each other and waved, both walking away in their own directions.
