i'm not mad at all i'm just differently sane

I manage to rinse all the milk out of my hair and get a pair of gym clothes to change into for the rest of the day. I also somehow avoided but that didn't last long.

I start to pack everything I need into my backpack and lean away about to close it but someone else beats me to it.

"Let's go, " Eva says in a cold manner.

Oh, so she is just going to pretend like lunch didn't happen. Wow just wow. I reluctantly follow her outside not trying to start another argument out of the blue.

I also had to call off tutoring today because of the project with Eva and wanting to get it done. And as much as I would like to see her get an F I don't want to get one myself.

"What do you need? " Oliver says in a bitter voice as we approach his car.

Smirking she replies, "Well hello to you too Ollie." Hold up how come she has a cute nickname for him and I don't.

He rolled his eyes, "I told you not to call me that and anyway answer the question. What do you need?"

"Well, your friend Phoebe invited me over to her lovely abode. That's why I'm here."

He turns his attention over to me and says with disbelief, "Seriously? Her? Out of all people you could invite to your house you invited this girl who poured fucking chocolate milk on you!" He said enraged.

"It's for a project, do you really think I would just invite her to my house?"

"Uh I'm standing right here"

I smirk at Eva, "Yeah I know."

We get into the car and of course, Eva has to take shotgun. And can I say I have never been in a more awkward car ride. It was filled with Evas endless attempts to flirt with Oliver.

He pulls to the front of the house, "Finally we're here, " He sighs out interrupting Eva.

"Finally! What's that supposed to mean? " Eva says.

"It means get out."

She scrunches up her face flips her hair and gets up quickly whirling the door shut storming off. After 5 seconds of dead silence, Oliver and I burst into laughter.

"Oh, my gosh did you see her face, " Oliver says few tears budding from his eyes.

I nod still laughing my head off, "Okay I should go now she is waiting by the door."

I get out the car but Oliver shouts rolling down the window, "Hey, wait!"

I turn around, "What?"

Oliver smiles, "Nothing just wanted to see your pretty face."

I roll my eyes smiling, "Didn't know you were into cliche kinds of things."

He shrugs, "I guess I have a trick or two up my sleeve. Anyway if Eva bothers you call me because she won't bother you again."

"Okay, Okay my knight in shining armor, " I say sarcastically heading away.

The cars wheels sliding into the driveway next door could be heard in be background.

I go next to Eva and start unlocking the door.

"Wait he isn't coming with us!"

I shake my head, "Well he doesn't live here so why should he?"

"Oh," She says with a hint of sadness.

As soon as we get inside we march up to my room.

"Okay let's practice and get this project over with because you want an A and so do I!"

She smiles, "Exactly."

We start practicing the skit and I couldn't help but notice how well Eva is at acting. She seems really passionate about it and into character. I wouldn't be surprised if I see her on the big screen soon. Where on the other hand, I sit struggling to even say my lines correct! I took drama to help with my "communication" and public speaking skills, but now I'm starting to regret that...

Eva let's out a frustrated groan and slams her script on the desk, "Ugh why did I have to be partnered with someone who doesn't know a single thing about acting. I mean at least try!"

Oh, that's it! I scrunch my face up and yell, "I'm so sick and tired of you bothering me! What exactly is your problem with me in the first place? You know what that doesn't matter because our differences don't matter at the moment. So for the love of God could you please let everything go so we can work on the assignment!"

Eva's jaw drops but she closes it and scoffs but agrees by simply nodding her head.

Later that night I slump onto my bed after an exhausting day filled with Eva bothering me through it. I snuggle under my covers about to drift into an endless sleep, but my phone rings in the background. Aw, come on.

"Ugh, " I groan out grabbing my phone.

"What!" I bark onto the phone.

"Woah someone's grumpy."

I roll my eyes, "Oliver what do you possibly need at this hour."

"Well, I wondering if we could go costume shopping together tomorrow since Halloween is in two days. You don't have to because I completely understand if you're dressing up with Liza or something."

"Sure! She is doing some couple costume with Gabe."

"Yes!" He screams on the other line, "Wait did I sound too excited..."

I laugh at his enthusiasm, "Okay night see you tomorrow."

"Night love, " and with that, he hangs up the phone leaving me a blushing mess.
