SCENE!! (I do this every once in a while in case we need to jump around). It is currently Monday! It is a beautiful April day. The forecast is sunny with a chance of some clouds. Eve and Berrett are currently on their way to lunch. Andy and Evette are currently at lunch.
As the bell rung Eve glanced up at the clock surprised. Fourth period had gone by so fast as she sat in her seat daydreaming. She had missed literally everything Mr. Epperson was talking about and she silently cursed herself for being so stupid. Now she was likely to not understand a thing he talked about the next day. She made a quick mental note to actually pay attention and check the power point on dropbox.. She glanced down at her empty paper that was titled 'notes' and frowned. She closed her binder and stuffed it into her backpack. She glanced around the room quickly. All four rows of desks were nearly empty of students already. She grabbed her iPod and put it on shuffle. Stuffing the ear buds into her ears. A smile spread across her face as the noise of everything faded away and the sound of Fall Out Boy invaded her ears. She was surprised that she was even smiling considering the events that had transpired the previous weekend. Guilt immediately laced through her at that thought. She still couldn't believe that she had been so stupid. She had let her one and only friend drag her to a party and then precede to get drunk. Her cheeks went pink as she walked through the door and out to the hallway. She had done a very stupid thing that night with a boy that hadn't even messaged her since then. In fact, this morning she had smiled at him, but he just ignored her. It hurt and she had immediately regretted her reckless decision to sleep with him. She could still remember everything despite the fact that she was drunk at the time. It was probably because that had been her first time and a woman always remembered their first time. She could still remember the way he held her. She had felt so comfortable in his arms. She had felt safe...She was slammed out of her daydream as she bumped into someone. She took out her headphones and began to apologize when she saw who it was. "So--". The word never made it out of her mouth. She blushed a fiery red as she stared into his eyes. She gulped, "Sorry...I...I wasn't looking." She gulped.
Andrew stared at the woman across from him. She was telling a story about something, but he wasn't paying attention to what she was saying. His heart was about ready to beat out of his chest. He could hear that along with the noise from the restaurant they were in. Everyone else's conversations met his ears in a blur. They were incoherent noises he didn't want to decipher. His palms sweated as he shakily took another bite of his burger. He could feel the bulge of the ring box in his pocket and he could imagine the way she would look at him when he finally worked up the courage to ask her. What facial expression would dawn on her beautiful face? Would she be overjoyed? Or would a look come across her face that would make him regret finding a little braveness in him? He hadn't been close with anyone in the past couple of years. His wife's death had cut him deeply and he threw himself into his work. It had been the only thing that allowed him to turn off his own emotions and focus on another's. But then he met Evette and he fell in love. She was beautiful in every way and he captivated his heart. He didn't tell Barrett for fear that he would retaliate against Andy being in a relationship with another woman. He just felt that it was time to move on from the pain in the past. He had to look forward or he might go crazy. The world came back into focus as their waiter walked by and picked up their empty plates. Had they really already eaten all of their food? He could have sworn that he had just taken the first bite of his burger. He gulped. He glanced up at Evette and touched the ring box in his pocket. He took it out and set it on his leg. He gulped again. "Evette. I've wanted to ask you something for a while now...uhm...this isn't the most romantic of places and I'm sorry for that. But..." He sighed, "You are everything to me. One of the only people that have the ability to light up my darkness. I love you..." He got down to one knee with the ring box in hand. As he opened it he stuttered out the words, "Would you do the honor of becoming my wife?"
