JOSH'S POV:

I left my Science class and pulled my phone from my pocket, seeing I had a text from Maddy…

"They know what's wrong with Roo, so Mr. Stewart's sending me home for some rest. Can I see you? X"

Sighing heavily, I quickly messaged back…

"Yeah, I'll come to the house when I'm done at school. See you later x"

EVIE'S POV:

"I've been looking for you…" Josh informed me as he sat down at the lunch table I'd acquired

"Sounds ominous" I replied

"I can't see you tonight" he admitted "Maddy's text. They've found out what's wrong with Roo and Mr. Stewart's sending her home for some rest and she wants me to go over"

"You don't have to explain" I informed him "but thanks for telling me"

"You're owed an explanation. I can't just ditch a friend, can I?" he questioned

I smiled at him warmly and shook my head, signalling no… "Well thanks, I appreciate it"

"You're welcome" he replied "I'll see you tomorrow"

"Yeah, see you tomorrow" I mirrored

"What was that all about?" Oscar asked as he came to sit down next to me

"Nothing" I replied

After school that day, Oscar and I made our way into the diner per Hannah's request to pick up a chocolate cake for after dinner…

"Ah, Evelyn!" Irene proclaimed as I was handed the cake

"Yes?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow at her

"There was someone in here looking for you earlier" she informed me

"Who?" I asked

"Never seen him before, love" she admitted "he was relatively tall, had dark hair and the most piercing green eyes I'd ever seen. Quite handsome, actually"

"Okay, thanks" I replied

"You're welcome" she stated

"Evie, you do know who Irene was describing, don't you?" Oscar inquired as we left the diner

"It wasn't him" I proclaimed "it can't have been. How would he have found me?"

"How would who have found you?" Josh's voice questioned

Turning around, I swallowed a lump in my throat as I saw both him and Maddy… "No one"

"Are you okay, Evie?" Maddy asked, raising an eyebrow at me

"I'm fine" I replied "come on, Oscar, we better be going"

JOSH'S POV:

Maddy and I watched Oscar and Evie walk off. Continuing to watch them, I was snapped out of my trance by Maddy calling my name. Making my way after her, I glanced back at Evie. There was something going on…

So who do you think could be in Summer Bay looking for Evie? And what will Josh do when he finds out who the mystery person is?
