The sound of water ceased shortly afterwards, and after some scuffling, a pair of footsteps skipped towards the bedroom. As the bedroom door was swung open, Evangeline Esperanza waltzed in, a towel around her body as she danced her way to her closet. After dropping her towel, she would get dressed, lowering her singing into a hum as she pulled on her uniform's shirt. Her eyebrows were knit together as she concentrated, making sure she didn't miss any holes, and once she double checked in the mirror, she put on her skirt and pulled on her knee high socks. Running her brush through her hair, she let out a small sigh of euphoria. She didn't know why, exactly, but she had woken up in a great mood. Granted, she had been up early to do some gardening, but there was just something about today that felt good. Maybe it was because she was back in school, she never did like spending too much time at home. As she looked around for her shoes, a beep caught her attention. Her phone's screen lit up, indicating she had a message. As it did, it revealed the time, and immediately after she heard honking outside. Shoot, had she lost track of time? Pulling her shoes out from under her bed, she hopped into them, snatching her bag and phone from her desk as she was about to run out of her room. Aha! She had almost forgotten her jacket! No sir, she wasn't going to get caught without that again! Running down the stairs, she tried to get into her jacket with one arm, only stopping before the kitchen. She spotted her stepfather at the stove, quietly humming to himself. Her mother was nowhere in sight, likely already have headed off to work, which admittedly made her morning better. She liked Marshall, and the two got along well all things considered. "[color=darkred]Good morning, Eve, I think Helene is waiting outside for you,[/color]" He said, pushing a sandwich and small brown bag towards her. "[color=pink]Yeah, I'm going now! Thank you![/color]" She said, biting down into the sandwich and grabbing the brown bag with her free hand. "[color=darkred]Aren't you forgetting something?[/color]" He called as she approached the front door. Freezing in place, Evangeline checked herself. Phone, check, messenger bag, check, lunch, check, breakfast, check. What was he talking about? Giving him a quizzical look, he motioned towards the living room table, on which sat her violin safely hidden in its case. Looking at her full hands, she managed to hook the handle with her index and middle fingers, swinging the door open and jumping over the steps. In the small, blue car sat two girls. The driver was a tall, gorgeous redheaded girl with soft hazel eyes and smooth skin. She was all legs with a light touch of makeup enhancing her good looks and just a few pieces of jewelry. On the passenger side was a slightly younger girl, her own brown hair pulled into two ponytails, her brown eyes wide and jittery. She shot a grin at Evangeline as she climbed into the backseat, unable to hide her amusement at the rushed girl. "[color=orange]Good morning![/color]" The brown eyed girl greeted her cheerfully. "[color=pink]Good morning, Alyssa![/color]" Evangeline returned the greeting in earnest, making herself slightly more comfortable as the car drove off. "[color=pink]Sorry I took so long, I was still getting dressed.[/color]" "[color=lightsalmon]Lost track of time again?[/color]" The other girl asked, keeping her eyes on the road. "[color=lightsalmon]You must be the only person in the world who somehow gets up early but is always running late.[/color]" "[color=pink]I can't help it! Once I get in the zone, I can't stop![/color]" She admitted. "[color=orange]Ignorance is bliss~[/color]" Alyssa giggled. "[color=orange]Come on, Helene, you get up just as early too with your 'beauty regimen'![/color]" "[color=lightsalmon]Beauty takes effort,[/color]" Helene replied rather haughtily. The three fell into a comfortable silence, which Evangeline took advantage of to get herself better organized. They were right, though; she never was very good at keeping track of the time. But she let them tease her, as she felt unstoppable today. Humming to herself, she put her lunch in her bag so she could better carry her instrument, and then looked out the window and watched the scenery go by. "[color=pink][I]You can learn a lot of things from the flowers, for especially in the month of June...[/I][/color]" She sang quietly, a small smile on her face. "[color=pink][i]There's a wealth of happiness and romance, all in the golden afternoon ♪[/I][/color]" As she finished, her eyes went to the front of the car where she saw Alyssa grinning back at her. "[color=pink]What is it?[/color]" "[color=orange]I'm interested in the 'romance' aspect of that little tune,[/color]" She said as the car pulled into a parking spot. "[color=orange]Ohhh, I get it, [I]that's[/I] why you're in such a good mood![/color]" Oh boy, now to have this conversation again. Climbing out of the car with violin case in hand, Evangeline had to admit that Alyssa's enthusiasm was somewhat unsettling--and this as coming from Eva, one of the more perky girls in school! Evangeline picked up the pace of her steps as Alyssa gave chase with Helen casually following suit, and soon the trio had reached the school's entrance. Pausing by the school's fountain, Alyssa took a look at the gathering group, her expression souring slightly as she realized who was at the center. "[color=orange]If it isn't the Boy Band making their senior year debut,[/color]" She huffed, placing her hands on her hips. Both Evangeline and Helene looked over to see what Alyssa was talking about. It was hard to miss really, especially considering how many girls were gaggling at the unfortunate guys they surrounded. It was more like a mob than anything, really. Helene's eyes lit up, and she pulled out her compact and lipstick for a final checkup. Alyssa glared at her, unamused. "[color=orange][I]Seriously[/I]?[/color]" Alyssa rolled her eyes. Once her lipstick was on perfectly, Helene blew a kiss to her reflection and snapped her compact shut, raising her eyebrows at Alyssa. "[color=lightsalmon]Face it, Aly, you're still salty over getting rejected by Jacob Petrone and now you're holding a grudge,[/color]" She reminded her. "[color=orange]Am not![/color]" She protested just a little too quickly for her denial to be predictable, although she was soon distracted by Evangeline. "[color=orange]Oh boy, we lost her again, Helene.[/color]" Indeed, Evangeline had phoned out of the conversation once Alyssa had pointed them out. Her eyes had gone from guy to guy, though she wasn't really interested in them. Sure, they were cute, but only one of them really stood out to her. The quiet Arthur Myles was the object of her affection, and once she spotted him, everyone else was irrelevant. A little dramatic, sure, but hey, she was a high school girl with a crush, so it was serious to her! Super tall, blonde, calm, cool, and collected, he checked off every single one of her likes. Although she really didn't know much of him, she had been harboring a crush on him ever since she had transferred in. She remembered the first time she had noticed him, sort of like now; a bunch of girls haggling his friends while he was super disinterested and being curt with the girls that tried to talk to him. Evangeline was pulled back into reality as Alyssa poked her shoulder a few times. "[color=pink]Huh? Oh, sorry, what were you saying?[/color]" Evangeline looked at Alyssa, though she frowned as she saw her mischievous grin. "[color=pink]Wh-what?[/color]" "[color=lightsalmon]We lost you there for a second, remember to keep your feet planted firmly on the ground so you don't go floating off to Cloud Nine to admire Arthur Ladykiller Myles,[/color]" Helene teased. "[color=orange]I genuinely don't know what you see in him,[/color]" Alyssa admitted. "[color=orange]I mean, his friends are all at least amicable, but he kind of looks pissed at life, you know?[/color]" Evangeline fiddled with the hem of her skirt, giving them a slight shrug. "[color=pink]It's just...he's so mysterious,[/color]" She sighed, smiling to herself. After hearing them giggle, she let out a slight groan. "[color=pink]I don't know! Stop judging me![/color]" "[color=lightsalmon]I'm not judging,[/color]" Helene said, crossing her arms. "[color=lightsalmon]But I have to side with Alyssa on this one. He's hot, but he doesn't seem to be interested in anyone. I think you and Alexander would look nice together.[/color]" Pouting, Evangeline let out a slight huff. "[color=pink]You guys suck.[/color]" [center][img]https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vmUI1TOixJ4/WVSTPYxWVZI/AAAAAAAAgHY/lh_ZYy2ucoQiQUr7mt3cfffSYdRJJ85IQCLcBGAs/s1600/Divider3.png[/img][/center]
