Losing Grip
Characters: -Eli Sammler- Age 18 -Grace Manning- Age 14 -Evangelia {Evan}, Joaquinn- Age 17 -Jessie Sammler- Age 13
A/N: I never watched the show once and again, but I am a fan of Shane West and I saw a few clips online. I love his character so I decided to make a fic out of it. I read a few summaries and I hope I don't have a lot of things wrong. -Oh and I'm making Shane/Eli still be in school. Is he in school during the last season? I'm not sure but I'm making him a senior. -And does anyone know what town the show takes place in, because I'm making it winter. Aiii I should've watched the show.
Here's goes!
----------------------------
Evangelia Joquinn also known as Evan nervously adjusted her messenger bag in front of her mirror. She wore a grey knitted cap over her head, apparently it was snowing outside so she figured she needed to keep her head warm. She pulled at her black baggy pants and twisted her foot around and slipped them into her black and grey adidas. Her blue streaks in her jet black hair not even showing, she turned her head and saw them when the light hit her head. She sighed and left her room going into the empty kitchen of the empty house. Her dad had already gone to work, as always, in New York he left early and now he did too.
Why wasn't she surprised? Grabbing a bottle of water and a breakfast bar she put on her headphones and stuffed her breakfast into her bag. She walked quickly over to the bus stop, arriving just in time.
When she entered the bus, everyone looked at her. None of them knew her apparently. Evan tried to ignore their stares and sat down in the back. No one bothered her during the entire ride.
--------------------------
Eli Sammler looked into the rearview at Grace and his sister Jessie. He was taking them to school. He pulled up the front door, "Okay we're here. Out." he said as the girls left the car. He quickly left the area to let the bus behind him park and he went to look for a parking space.
As he was walking back to the school he noticed a girl about his age getting off the bus. SHe looked pretty different from the rest of the people. Wearing all black practically he could see her blue hair reflecting off the light. He grinned, that someone would come to this school dressed like a punk was more his thing. He walked past her and into the school.
--------------------------
Evan went into the main office and got her schedule, she arrived into her first class, Health. She arrived late.
"Can I help you?" The teacher said, looking as if she was a criminal.
"Uh yea, I'm new here. Is this the right class?" Evan said nervously thrusting her schedule to the teacher, who nodded and sniffled.
"Just sit right over there. I'm going to call attendence in a minute." Evan nodded and sat in the only empty seat in the class, the last seat in the last row. Looking at the people around her, very few people were dressed differently, most of them were dressed like preps. At first glance she might have been considered a punk with her blue hair and black clothes but she was definitely not one. She wasn't spontaneous at all, she didn't have piercings, weirdly she hadn't even pierced her ears. She glanced at the guy next to her, he seemed the rocker type with his leather jacket and the smirk on his face.
She sat down and took out her small binder, opening up a random section, waiting for the teacher to do the attendence.
"Joyce Carimichael...Carrie Mitchells..." The teacher's voice droned on.
"Evangelia Joaquinn?" She asked, and people looked at her. Evan raised her hand, and put it back down when the teacher acknowledged her.
"Eli Sammler." and girls all turned to look at the guy next to her. Evan laughed to herself, well of course he was the player of the school, judging from the looks on all the girls faces. She had to admit he was very cute, but she wasn't the type of girl that dated guys. No guy had ever liked her, they only saw her as friends. She sighed to herself and started listening to Ms. Connelly who was giving her the few months work she should make up, according to her.
15 minutes later, Ms. Connelly began describing a project she wanted everyone in the class to take a part in. After a thorough explanation, basically it was a marriage project in which everyone had to marry someone, when Ms. Connelly said she was picking the partners the entire class groaned. Evan groaned, she had already done this last month in New York, and she had been picked to worked with her friend in the project. It had been hell to figure out what they needed to buy and everything.
As Ms. Connelly began reading off the partners names she came up to Evan.
"Evangelia, you and Eli will work together." She stated, pausing to look at them. Evan turned to Eli and smiled slightly, as he did in return. At the end of class, Ms. Connelly instructed them to exchange numbers. They did and Evan left quickly not to be late for her next class.
------------------------------ After school...
As Eli waited for Grace and Jessie he saw the Evangelia girl getting onto the bus. She caught his eyes and she smiled a little. He smiled back, then Grace and Jessie got into his car, and he drove away.
Evan sat by herself on the bus again thinking. Apparently Eli Sammler was a pretty popular guy with the girls. Even on her first day she had heard many rumors about him and the random girl of the week. She had met a nice girl, Grace Manning. Even though she was a freshman they met in gym class and found they both had a liking for soccer.
Evan sighed, her first day hadn't been uneventful but she was sort of lonely. As an independent person she wouldn't say she missed her mother, or friends that much, but she was merely bored of not being able to talk to anyone, her father being away on a business trip again, as always.
She dumped her messenger bag and jacket onto a kitchen chair and settled down in her room on her computer. Basically being online and listening to music was her life. Even back in New York she only had a best friend, and only a few other close friends.
-----------------------------
Eli got home and threw his stuff down and went into the kitchen to make himself a sandwich. Rick came in.
"Hey dad." Eli greeted him before stuffing a huge bite into his mouth.
"Ms. Connelly called, she told me about your project. She says your grades are still failing." Rick said angrily. Eli rolled his eyes.
"I want you to start working on the project today. Go call your partner and invite her over for dinner and I want to see some progress." Rick said, troubled. He didn't understand why his son was having a hard time learning.
Eli shook his head, "I forgot to get her number." he said mumbling as crumbs fell from his mouth, hoping his excuse worked. Rick sighed and put a piece of paper on the table.
"Don't even think about it. I have it right here...call her now." Rick said before leaving to greet his wife who just walked in the door. Eli groaned. He picked up the paper, it said, " Evangelia Joaquinn: 555-8967"
Dialing the phone he waited for someone to pick up....
Evan picked up the phone when it started ringing.
"Hello?" Evan said.
"Uh yea, Hi may I speak to Evangelia please?" Eli said politely.
"This is her." Evan replied, wondering what guy would call her.
"This is Eli Sammler, uh from your Health class. Ms. Connelly called my dad and told him about the project and he wanted us to work on the project today and he invited you over for dinner?" Eli said.
"Umm, okay sure. Where do you live?" Evan asked, weirded out that he was asking her to go over to his house.
"120-19 Emerald Avenue." Eli replied.
"I live on Emerald too. 120-23" Evan said.
"Oh..that's great. Just come over whenever." Eli said before hanging up. Evan stared at the phone, and groaned. {What had she just gotten herself into?} She put her away message on, and turned off her moniter and used her remote to shut off her loud music. Silence of course endured as she took out her books and left in some things she though she might need to work on their project. Pulling a navy blue hoodie over her tee-shirt she walked out the door, and across the street to Eli's house. She had no idea why she was so nervous. {Yea, maybe because no guy has ever invited you to their house...did I mention never?}
Evan stood in front of the seemingly large house. Taking a deep breath, she rang the doorbell....
