Eva's mind had wandered off again once she had taken her seat. She needed to play it cool, sitting next to Arthur was making her so nervous she didn't know what to do with herself. Having answered his question, he had fallen silent again. Another nod in acknowledgement, she couldn't believe she was getting the chance to interact with him so much. Sure, they had classes together before, but she hadn't gotten as lucky as she was now. Usually she only got to look at him from a distance, which considering the amount of girls she often had to deal with in the way made things tricky. Speaking of which, she [I]definitely[/I] felt their jealous stares, and she ended up trying really hard not to make eye contact with any of them.

"[color=lightsalmon]You [I]really[/I] need to cool it, tell her, Eva,[/color]" Helene said, her name catching her attention. "[color=lightsalmon]The party's on Friday and we're all going.[/color]"

"[color=pink]Party? This Friday?[/color]" Eva shifted in her seat, slightly frowning. "[color=pink]I'm not sure I can go.[/color]"

"[color=orange]You really should ask before making assumptions,[/color]" Alyssa pointed out.

"[color=orangered]You have plans?[/color]" Gigi asked, slightly curious.

"[color=lightsalmon]Yeah, right, Eva [I]never[/I] has plans,[/color]" Helene rolled her eyes. "[color=lightsalmon]What is it that you have to do?[/color]"

"[color=pink]I have a follow-up with my doctor,[/color]" Eva replied quietly.

The four fell silent at her words, though it was just in time for their teacher to start yelling. Watching Jacob Patrone stand, she assumed he must have done something as he stormed out of the classroom shortly afterwards. She noticed Alyssa watching, but knew better than to comment on it. It wasn't any of her business, and the last thing she wanted was to get another argument going. For a second she expected Helene to start up again, but she probably didn't notice Alyssa as her focus was on Eva.

"[color=lightsalmon]So we can go afterwards, being fashionably late is always in style,[/color]" Helene continued without skipping a beat. "[color=lightsalmon]Come on! It'll be your chance to--[i]our[/i] chance to hang out together, we really didn't get to do anything together over the summer since you guys kept flaking on me.[/color]"

"[color=orange]Some of us had our own thing,[/color]" Alyssa reminded her.

Gigi looked at Helene, a hand to her chin as she thought. "[color=orangered]I suppose it's been a while,[/color]" She shrugged. 

Eva still wasn't sure. "[color=pink]I don't know...[/color]"

Helene deflated slightly, though she perked up. Time for another approach. "[color=lightsalmon]Come on, Eve, going to a party means we get to go shopping~[/color]" She tempted the blonde, going straight for one of her interests. "[color=lightsalmon]Unless you already have a dress for me, I'd be happy to parade it around for you! Please?[/color]"

Tapping her pencil against the desk, Eva thought to herself for a second. It [I]had[/I] been a while since she had gone to the mall. "[color=pink]Well...[/color]" She started slowly, watching the hope in Helene's eyes and Gigi's blank stare.

"[color=orangered]Good job, you really know how to hit weak spots,[/color]" Gigi complimented Helene.

"[color=pink]I haven't said yes![/color]"

"[color=orange]Yeah, but you're not going to say no to that,[/color]" Alyssa smirked, letting out a sigh.

"[color=lightsalmon]Great! The four of us are going shopping after school, then![/color]" Helene announced.

"[color=orange]What--I never said [i]I[/I] was going![/color]"

As the pair began to bicker, Eva kept her attention on her notebook. Parties really weren't her cup of tea, but she also knew if she resisted Helene wouldn't give up. Still, she was concerned she wasn't going to have the energy after her appointment. Maybe she could change the day? Well, she wasn't eighteen yet, so she'd likely have to get permission or something. That thought alone was enough to make her feel like her insides were twisted. If she had to get permission, it'd likely have to be her mother. But if she admitted she wanted to change it for the sake of a party, she'd never hear the end of it. Could she ask Marshall? She knew he would be more understanding about it, but he'd likely want to let her mother know--not out of spite, but out of concern.

It was at that point Arthur asked if she was okay, and Eva looked at him. Did he notice? She couldn't really tell, nor had she been expecting him to talk to her. She should have been happy, but now the only thing she could think of was her appointment. What a mess. Throwing on a smile, she nodded. No need to make such a fuss, she'd figure it out. "[color=pink]Things happen, I suppose,[/color]" She replied, still tapping her pencil against her notebook.
