Chapter 7
"Yes." Evan said, making my eyes snap towards him.
As soon as the words escaped Evan's lips, he turned bright red.
He cleared his throat, looking the slightest bit nervous.
"I mean, Arden's my Valentine's date." Evan added. "I bidded on her at the school's auction."
Aiden smirked, nodding.
"You sure picked the right girl." he paused, as the grin he had on his face disappeared. Aiden's face paled, as he studied my face a bit longer. "Although, she does look a lot like Hol-"
Evan shot Aiden a glare, coughing obnoxiously loud.
Aiden immediately stopped speaking, as he stared back at me shakily.
"F-Forget I said anything, yeah?" he chuckled bitterly.
I frowned, as I stared at Evan, who refused to look me in the eyes.
Am I missing something here?
What the hell was going on?
"Yeah." I muttered, not wanting to push the two of them.
We stayed a bit longer, Evan pulling Aiden to the employee's lounge of the music store.
I heard a bit of yelling before everything fell silent.
When Evan came out, he looked distressed.
When his eyes met mine, a small smile spread across his rosy lips.
"I should bring you home now." he said, as we exited the store.
I followed him back into his car, staring at him carefully.
"So, where do you live?" he asked, pressing a few buttons on his GPS.
"Rosen Avenue." I paused. "The third house down."
Evan nodded, typing the address.
"Sorry about Aiden back there." he said, as he kept his eyes on the road.
"It's okay." I told him.
It wasn't like he made his best friend a complete flirt.
"And about what I said with being with you and everything," he paused, his cheeks turning pink, "I didn't mean it... like that."
I gulped. "Right."
Evan pulled up by the side of my house.
He unlocked the doors, as I unbuckled my seatbelt.
"Thanks for the drink today." I said.
A smile appeared on his face. "It's alright, really."
I nodded, taking in a deep breath of air. "I'll see you around."
Evan nodded, as I closed the door.
I watched as he drove away, before I entered my house.
I knew Evan was hiding something from me.
But by the next morning, I decided to forget about it.
Evan seemed like a genuine guy- or at least I hope he is.
