Chapter 7

I ran off crying to go hide in a corner somewhere so nobody would see me. Nobody bothered me and I was glad for it because I looked like a mess. I couldn't believe Valia had tried to change me after all this time. I know she wants me to find another with ruling material so I can take her place, but to want me to change that's just too much expectation. I was looking down and all of the sudden there was a shadow. I looked up and was a tad bit shocked at the person I found standing above me. He was the one guy I saw earlier that looked out of place, but I don't know why the heck he was standing there. He looked down and said, "Well can I sit?" I looked startled, "You'll have to sit on the ground, but it's fine with me. I'm not currently very good company so I understand if you'd like to leave." He laughed, "On the contrary miss you're the one who needs company the most so it doesn't matter if you're bad company or not." I laughed, "Ever the gentleman huh?" "I try my best. Nobody likes a jerk now do they? I'm Tyler in case you were wondering." "What makes you think I didn't know your name? And no nobody likes a jerk. I'm Evergreen." "You can't know everyone and I'm not on any sports teams so of course you wouldn't know me. Nice to meet you Evergreen. May I ask why you're sitting in the corner crying?"
