"Hah. Sure, I could do that. But if you laugh at my acting. I am so going to laugh at you, if you dance."
Evan chuckled at Alyssa's reply. "Tch, have a little faith. My dancing isn't half bad." Evan paused a bit in his speech, seemingly mesmerized by her soft grey eyes. He'd never seen such a color, but quickly recovered with a smirk. "We could help each other out, y'know." Before he could continue speaking, the principal was asking them to sit down. He settled in beside Tyler, who seemed to have calmed down, especially now that all the students were quieting down and dispersing to sit at their seats. They listened to what the principal and student council president had to say, quite impressed by the slideshow. The school was really nice, too nice even. If this were a cheap film, Evan might start to suspect that there was some strange twist to the school, like an evil principal. That was pretty absurd though. What kind of evil principal would host a fireworks show for his students?
During the presentation, Tyler had unwrapped the second lollipop and stuck it in his mouth. Unfortunately, it wasn't watermelon again, but strawberry was nearly as good. After the student council president dismissed them, Evan turned to Tyler, a skeptical look on his face. "What would you say the chances are that the principal is evil?"
Of all the shit that comes out of his mouth, that has got to be one of the stupidest to date, Tyler thought with a small sigh. Evan saw the unamused look on Tyler's face and started to defend his question, but Tyler just shook his head. "Hey, hold out you hand," he said, his voice as quiet as ever, so that it would be difficult for anyone other than Evan to hear it.
"Why?" Evan asked, but held out his hand anyway. That was a mistake. Tyler swiftly placed the wrapper and stick from his finished lollipop in Evan's outstretched palm. Evan couldn't fathom how childish his brother was sometimes, tricking him into holding his trash for him like a kid. That little shit. He clenched his hand into a fist a glared down at Tyler, who gave him a smug grin.
"We better get going." Tyler said, obviously feeling better. Evan wasn't sure whether it was the lollipop that had given him a sudden boost in confidence or maybe he was finally excited about the new school. Whatever it was, he was glad for it. He let Tyler grab his hand and lead him to the classroom, a grin on his face.
