JOSH'S POV:
"Are you enjoying your course as much as Evie is, Josh?" Hannah asked as she, Zac, Evie, myself and her brother Oscar sat at the kitchen table eating dinner a little while later
"Yeah, it's a lot of fun." I replied "And it's also nice to have someone that you're close to on the same course too. Makes the days go quicker."
She smiled at me warmly… "What's your favourite part? Evie says hers is the journalism side."
"Mine's the media side. I've always wanted to do something within the media industry, I'm just not sure what." I admitted
"Zac works as a teacher, maybe he could help you? Summer Bay High has a great Media Studies programme, doesn't it, Zac?" she inquired
"Yeah it does, and some really great teachers. I could look into it for you, see what I can find out?" he suggested, raising an eyebrow at me
"You'd do that for me?" I questioned
"If it's what you want then yes." he replied
"In that case, that'd be great, thank you." I proclaimed "Really, thank you so much."
"No problem." he stated, smiling at me warmly as we went back to eating our meals
EVIE'S POV:
"I'm gonna walk Josh to the bus stop…" I informed Auntie Hannah and Uncle Zac as they stood in the kitchen cleaning up
"Okay," Auntie Hannah replied "but be careful on your way back up here."
"I will." I assured her
Josh said his goodbyes as I pulled my shoes onto my feet, and when I was done we made our way out of the house, Josh shutting the front door behind us…
"I can't believe your Uncle's generosity…" Josh admitted as we walked down the track
"You've obviously made a good impression." I informed him "On both of them. You had them wrapped around your little finger."
He smiled at me warmly as I spoke… "You think?"
"I know." I replied "Here we are…"
"Thanks for inviting me to stay for dinner, Evie, I really appreciate it." he admitted
"You're welcome." I stated "Anything to get you away from the real world, eh?"
"Yeah," he replied "now it's back to reality. Thanks for giving me an afternoon off."
"Any time." I informed him "I better be heading back. Are you gonna be okay waiting?"
He nodded his head, signalling yes. Sharing a hug, I said goodbye and made my way back up the track and back to the house…
JOSH'S POV:
"Josh, is that you?" Mum's voice asked as I walked into the house half-an-hour later
"Yeah, it's me." I informed her as I pulled my shoes off
"Where have you been?" she questioned as she made her way into the hallway "I've been worried sick!"
"Did you not get my text?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow at her
"Obviously not." she replied "So, where have you been?"
"At Evie's place." I informed her "We went back there after I had another row with Maddy and her Aunt invited me to stay for dinner which I did."
"As long as you had a good time…" she informed me "That's what matters. So, what was it like?"
"What was what like?" I questioned, following her through to the kitchen
"Her house, her Aunt…" she replied
"Her house is lovely and so is her Aunt." I informed her "Mum, you don't think something's gonna happen between me and Evie, do you?"
"Where did that come from?" she asked, raising an eyebrow at me
"Good, because nothing is." I replied "She and I are friends, but that's as far as it goes."
"Okay, I get that." she informed me "You'd better ring Maddy soon too. She's been here twice looking for you, and says she's been calling you all afternoon."
Nodding my head in understanding, I pulled my phone from my pocket, sighing as I saw I had 10 missed calls, all with voicemail from Maddy…
"I'm gonna head to bed." I admitted as I locked my keypad again "Night."
"Night, love." she mirrored, kissing my cheek before I made my way out of the room
So a nice meal at the farmhouse was had, and Josh was welcomed in with open arms, and he's also set his Mum straight that nothing will happen between him and Evie…
