Evie Pov

I sat on the couch as i leaned against Allen, scrolling through pinterest. My phone rang, it was an unknown number but i answered it.

"Hello" i said.

"Hey Evie" i heard Corbyn's familiar deep voice come through and a smile crept onto my face.

"Oh hey, your lucky i answered the call since i didn't know it was you" i laughed.

"Well i just wanted to let you know that i will be picking you up tomorrow around seven for the Halloween party" Corbyn informed me.

"Great" i said sarcastically.

"It wont be that bad, you'll have fun i promise" he tried to reassure.

"Corbyn, i have a lot of social anxiety, especially when it comes to partys okay, its one of the reasons it took time for me to trust you" I said.

"I could tell, but hey, if your feeling at all overwhelmed while were there, then just tell me and i will take you home, okay" Corbyn said.

"Okay, and i will tell Freya about it at school tomorrow" i said.

"Cool, i hope i make a better impression than my first one" he laughed.

"You will, she doesn't hold a grudge for to long unless you acually did something" i told him.

"Good, so i will see you tomorrow" Corbyn said.

"See you tomorrow, and hey" i said.

"Yes" Corbyn said.

"Thanks for caring" i said.

I new he was smiling, its like i could feel it through the phone.

"Your welcome, bye Evie" Corbyn said.

"Bye Corbyn" i said and hung up the phone.

I then put his number as a contact in my phone, Wolf Boy.

"So, whose this Corbyn?" Allen asked and i sat up to meet his questioning eyes.

"Corbyn is a new friend of mine, and he invited me to a Halloween party tomorrow with his other friends, their nice" i told him.

"How long have you known him?" He pressed a bit further like he always does when i mention a boy.

My last boyfriend cheated on me and Allen may or may not have given him a black eye and a bloody nose, i am honestly surprised his nose wasnt broken.

But guys know not to mess with me or they feel the wrath or Allen.

"Since Saturday" i told him.

"So you have known him for six days and have already met his friends and are going to a Halloween party with him?" Allen asked.

"Well its a little bit more complicated then that but i guess, yes" i said.

"Do you like him?" Allen asked.

"No. I mean, i honestly don't know i guess...its complicated" i stumbled with my words.

"So then whats not complicated?" Allen laughed.

I sighed dramatically and flopped against the couch.

"I dont knooow" i drew out my words, making Allen laugh more.

"Whats this about a boy?" My dad suddenly walked into the room.

Of course, perfect timing dad, why you got to do me like that?

"You remember the guy who dropped me off after i went to talk with my teacher, Corbyn" i said.

"Oh ya, he seems to be a nice guy" my dad says as he comes to sit down next to me.

"Ya he is" i said.

"So does Evie have a crush?" My dad gasped.

"No dad, i dont like him" i told him.

"Oh really?" Dad started.

"Yes really" i rolled my eyes, my dad and Allen giving each other the look, oh no, no no no no.

My dad then grabed my knees and started tickling me and i squealed as i tried to get out of his grip.

"Stop it" i barely said through my laughter.

My knees are very ticklish and i hate it.

"Okay, okay stop" i laughed and he finally let go as Allen was dying of laughter.

I hit his chest and he finally started to calm down.

"Dad, how much coffee did you have today?!" I asked.

"Maybe five cups" he laughed and i gaped at him.

He always acts crazy but when he is like this, it means he had too much coffee, and trust me, this isn't even the worst.

"Dad, i told you to stop drinking so much coffee!" I scolded him but he just kept laughing.

~later that day~
I sat at the table with Allen and dad, Allen sat next to me and Dad sat across from us.

"Okay, let me try again" my dad said after he once again, failed to catch the grape in his mouth.

I popped a grape into my mouth as i watched the transaction between my dad and brother.

"Okay, okay" Allen laughed and grabbed another grape and my dad opened his mouth, ready to catch it.

Allen tossed the grape and dad leaned to get it as it landed in his mouth.

"OH YA!" Allen cheered and my dad put his fists in the air in victory and i clapped as i laughed.

"I wanna try, i wanna try" i quickly said.

"Okay let me get one" dad reached over the table and grabbed a grape.

"Ready?" He asked, i nodded and opened my mouth.

He tossed it up and i caught in my mouth and squealed as Allen and dad cheered for me.

"Oh ya, first try!" I said after swallowing the grape.

~that night~
"Goodnight dad, i love you" i gave my dad a quick hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Love you too hun" he gave me a kiss on my forehead.

I walked down to my room, passed by Allens and i peaked into his room and saw him sitting on his bed looking at his phone.

"Night Allen" i said and he looked up and smiled.

"Night Evie" he said and i left the room and headed to mine across the hall.

I walked in, closing the door and throwing on some pajamas.

After that i flopped on my bed and heaved a big sigh.

Parts of my day were good, others, not so good. Today i found out that i am what is called The Gifted. Which is totally terrifying.

I found out that my mother had a spell casted upon me to protect me from the supernatural.

And Corbyn and i might be what is called mates.

And i have two parties to go too, fun, hint the sarcasm.

I wrapped myself up in my blanket, not letting myself think anymore about everything that took place today.

I closed my eyes, hoping things would get better like Corbyn said.

If only i knew that this was only the beginning of something way bigger than i could ever imagine.
