Day 1 of school went well :D So, Chapter 8... Yeah, not much to say beforehand this time!
"You WHAT?!" Luke exclaimed.
"I have a crush on Evelyn," Owen repeated firmly.
"How?" Luke wondered.
"Well she's tough, doesn't want people to worry about her, and she's kinda cute," Owen said.
Luke just sighed.
...
The steps kept getting closer. Evelyn closed her eyes and hoped for the best.
"Oh, uh, Hello," A young voice said.
"Hello, who are you?" Evelyn asked sweetly.
'Only Bo, that could have turned out a LOT worse!' She thought.
"I'm Bo. Sorry If I startled you, I was NOT expecting there to be someone here, let alone a girl I've never met!" He said.
"Yeah, so why are you here?" She smiled.
"I'm looking for Luke, Me and Dale were in the forest and we need help with something," Bo answered.
"Oh, yeah, I know where he is," Evelyn said.
"What is he doing?" Bo was about 14 so he was very curious.
"I sorta kinda maybe punched Owen's lights out, so they are trying to wake him up," Evelyn smirked.
"You? Really?" Bo said.
Evelyn's smirk disappeared.
"Oh! Sorry! No offence! You just seem so delicate... You must be strong!" Bo said.
"No offence taken. Apology accepted. I am strong!" Evelyn said.
There was a rustling in the bushes.
"Get behind me!" Bo said.
It jumped out. It was a rabbit.
The 2 giggled.
"Thanks for protecting me. Any guy who knew my strength would have hidden behind me!" Evelyn said, then kissed him on the cheek.
Bo was blushing.
"I couldn't let such a beautiful girl get hurt," Bo said, and Evelyn just giggled.
"Lets find Luke now, he should be out here," Evelyn said.
Soon they had found Luke, and the 2 apprentices left to go help Dale.
"So, Evelyn," Owen was standing up speaking. He recovered quickly.
"What Jerkface?" Evelyn asked.
"Wanna go out?" Owen said. "I mean you already have a pet name for me."
"I'd rather kiss a donkey's butt. Jerkface isn't a pet name, it's a nickname. Toby and Gill have permission to call you Jerkface," Evelyn said.
"We have permission, Jerkface," Toby said then laughed.
"Yeah... Jerkface," Gill said.
"I'll take that as a 'maybe later'" Owen said.
"Go out with Kathy or something," Evelyn said.
"Kathy's good but you are better," He said.
"Go home Owen, you're probably drunk," She said.
"He isn't," Toby said.
"So, babe, aren't you going to go out with me?" Owen said.
Evelyn responded with punching his lights out again. While Toby and Gill were trying to wake Owen up, Evelyn ran towards Luke, Bo, and Dale who she hadn't met yet.
"Hey Evelyn! You look angry!" Luke shouted.
"No duh Captain Obvious," She said. Bo put his axe down.
"What happened?" Bo asked.
"I had to punch Owen's lights out again because he kept asking me out!" Evelyn was shouting, and she didn't realize it. Both Bo and Luke hugged her at the same time.
"Ah, you must be the Evelyn Luke has been talking about! I'm his dad, Dale," Dale introduced himself.
"I'm... Evelyn," She said, then started sobbing.
"Did Owen hurt you?" Luke was concerned, Evelyn didn't cry very easily.
"N-no, he was just being a j-j-jerk," Evelyn stuttered. Then smiled.
"What?" Bo asked.
She didn't respond she just laughed.
"WHAT!?" Bo yelled a couple times.
"Luke's... face..." She said, her eyes tearing from laughing.
"What's wrong with my face?" Luke asked.
Evelyn lost her balance from laughing, but Dale caught her.
"Luke, wipe off your face, you got ketchup on it," Bo whispered to him.
"Ah man!" Luke yelled then started running towards where Owen was.
"I'm going to check on Owen," He used as an excuse.
Evelyn picked up Luke's axe.
"I'll chop his wood while he's gone," she said.
"No, I can't let a delicate lady chop wood!" Dale yelled unintentionally.
"Don't worry, me and my brothers and my dad used to build things out of wood all the time, and I usually chopped the wood," Evelyn said.
"Ok then, Then lets chop wood," Dale said.
'I've barely chopped wood... I shouldn't have lied...' Evelyn thought.
It did come back and bite her in the butt.
...
I made some stupid mistakes when typing this that I fixed like spelling apologized with an 'o' instead of an 'a'
('o' is a face lol)
