Emily

Morgan and Aaliyah was at my place after school. Our notes laid out on my room's floor and our laptop was open. We'll groaned and complaint about how much we had to study for the test. Bloom's Dad came to picked her up for dentist's appointment after school, which was why she was not with us.

We three had early dinner as we were hungry and while eating we were discussing about how odd Bloom was acting. Aaliyah had known Bloom the longest and she said, even though Bloom gets stressed about exams and events, she's always very optimistic. She was snapping once in a while, sobbing the next and laughing after that.

It's concerning to watch that. I brought up the topic about what Evan did and Morgan cocked her head to the side like she was thinking something.

"They'll have to face each other on the weekend." Aaliyah said.

I shake my head and sighed, "Should we hint Evan about why Bloom is upset with him?" I asked and they shake their head.

"He needs to figure, they both need to figure out their mess." Aaliyah said. "We don't really know if she's mad at him for that particular reason."

And I nodded my head. Aaliyah's brother picked her up around ten pm. Dad and Mom was in their room while Morgan and I studied until midnight and went to bed. Morgan stayed in the guest's room like always.

I texted Everett and wondered if he was asleep, but he was awake. We haven't spoken much except exchanged some texts asking about what we were doing.

He called me and I picked up.

"Hello?" I answered the phone.

"Hey beautiful." he said. "How was your day in school?"

"It was tiring and I told him about my classes and the classes he and I shares."

When I asked what he did, he told me he studied, played some indoor activities and did some drawings.

I asked him if he have spoken to Evan in the last two days or met him. He said he did spoke to Evan that day.

"Did you find him weird?" I asked.

"He's always weird, baby." he said. "I didn't find anything odd about him."

I told him about Bloom and how she was behaving in the last two days and he said, "I think we should let them figure out."

"Okay, I'm just concerned about Bloom."

"I know, she'll be fine." he said. "Tell me what did you do in the afternoon?" and that's how he changed the topic. We spoke on the phone for an hour, before we ended the call.

Later that day, after the exam. Morgan and I sighed in relieved as we discussed our answers on our way to lunch.

Aaliyah was walking towards us and then she put her arm on our shoulder and turned us around.

"I think we have to find a new space to sit, today." she said, excitedly.

I blinked a couple of time.

"Bloom and Evan are over there, they're kissing."

My eyes widened and I gasped as my lip turned into a smile. Morgan chuckled and shake her head. We ended up in the hallway.

Aaliyah said, they didn't notice, but she saw it.

"I can't believe it, but damn it." Morgan grinned.

I was surprised too.. who was expecting that. I was happy for both of them and I wondered if Everett knew how Evan felt about Bloom.

Everett said he will pick me up after school and we'll go to my place to collect my bag that I've packed for the weekend.

We saw Evan and Bloom walking towards us, Their faces flushed and they seemed shy.

"What are you guys doing here? We were waiting for you near the staircase." Bloom looked at us.

"We thought we should sit here for today." Morgan shrugged.

It was snowing a little, after school. Everett was standing outside his car and I rushed towards him. He opened the passenger's door and let me in quickly.

"Hey beautiful." he said as he kissed my cheek. "How was school, today?"

"It was good." I said shaking my head, removing the snow from my hair. "How was your day?"

"It's better now that I'm with you."

And I chuckled at his cheesiness.

We drove to my place. He asked me how my test went and my classes.

"Did you know anything about Evan and Bloom...." I casually asked as I watched his expression. He seemed confused.

"What?" he glanced at me quickly and I shake my head.

"Nothing." I said and changed the topic.

Everett stopped by at Starbuck's drive thru and he ordered some hot drinks for us with sandwiches. When we reached his place, Mr. Harper was not around and Everett told me he went for grocery shopping.

I took a shower first and Everett took a shower after me. I was drying my hair with the towel while looking at his books collections. He have many biographies and non-fictions books and also some comic books.

I pulled out a random comic and sat down on the bed to read. Its been forever since I read comics.

Everett came out half-naked. Water dripped from his hair, down his face, his neck and his drool-worthy abs. He just have a black sweat-pants on.

"Are you checking me out?" he asked amused as he threw the towel in the laundry basket.

"No." I flushed a little and looked at the comic. "I was reading the comic."

He laughed as he came and sat beside me.

"Ain't you going to put on a shirt?" I asked.

"Does me being half-naked bothers you?" he asked.

"No." I said flushing a little more.

He laughed. "I'm kidding." he kissed my nose. "I'll go and put on a shirt."

He returned back wearing a grey shirt, that almost matches his eye colours.

He sat with his back against the head-board, and stretched out his long leg, while I laid with my head on his lap and read the comic book. He suddenly leaned down and kissed my forehead and I looked at him with a smile on my face. His eyes was bright and happy. He put the iPad on the night-stand and played with my hair.

I was reading, Case Closed manga.

"What did you draw today?" I asked him as I put the comic and sat up.

"Just something small." he said.

"Can I see?" I asked excitedly.

"Not yet, it's still incomplete."

"I still want to see." I said.

"I will.. once I complete it. I promise." he said and kissed my lip as an apologies.

I wondered what he drew this time.

For dinner, we had Lemon chicken with rice. Mr. Harper apparently went through the menu for Thanksgiving with us. I honestly thought it was a perfect idea, but Everett asked for some changes.

After dinner, we sat down on the carpet of his room. He pulled out some board games for us to spend our time with. I like this moment, moment where his eyes are bright as he laughed and smiled and I wanted to keep that glow, the happiness and the light on him. He makes me happy, he makes me feel like I'm wanted and I'm beautiful and I'm loved.
