"Who is Zack?"
"No one."
"Oh, fine then."
"You don't mind right bro?"
"Na, it's non of my business though."
He turn and on the television. Eva slowly put her hands off her mouth and try to look at John's face.
"Bro?"
"Yeah?"
"Are you sulking?"
"No, I'm not."
"John, just tell me the truth."
John turn to face her and look into her eyes while holding both of her hands. Eva gets creep out a bit.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Why not, I'm your brother."
"In some ways, you are."
"Ev, I know that I'm your not your official brother. And even if I'm just your friend doesn't mean I have to know everything about you."
He said and turn away.
"Unless you treated me something more."
He mumbles.
"What did you just say?"
Eva questioned him as she heard him mumble something.
"Nothing. Nothing at all Ev."
"Fine then."
The doorbell rang just as Eva got up from the sofa.
"I'll go get it."
"Yeah. Okay."
Eva opens the door just to see Melina and Jack. Melina was carrying her bag that's small while Jack, he was holding on to thick books.
"Jack, is all that yours?"
"Nope, it's your friend's."
"Oh god. Mel?"
"You think?!"
"Let me help you up."
Melina is already in her living room, leaving Jack outside with the thick books in his hands. Eva carry some of them and Jack walk into her living room too, joining John and Melina. Eva kick the door to close it as her hand is full of books. She then head to the living room.
"Thanks Ev."
"Sure Jack."
Jack then sits beside Melina who is texting someone.
"What the hell are you doing with that phone since just now?"
"Texting somebody important, of course."
Jack sigh and watch the television.
"Who bring all this?"
John asked astonished.
"Melina Lava Perez."
"Are we like working on this for the whole life or just today?"
"That one, you better go ask her."
Eva smiled to him and walk away.
"Guys! We need to get this done. Hurry up please."
"Mel, who is going to read all those books?"
"Simple John, it's gonna be you and Jack."
"What? I don't read thick books Mel and you know it! Neither do Jack!"
Jack nodded repeatably, agreeing on what John have said.
"Fine, then just find the main points?"
"Find search or fine fine?"
"Search for the main points. Please don't be completely dumb Jack."
"It's humor, Mel! You should really learn how to laugh."
"Not from you."
"Look, John's laughing!"
Jack pointed to John who is laughing while taking one of the books from the table.
"Whatever Jack. Whatever. Where's Ev anyway John?"
"Upstairs, I think."
"I'll go call her down."
Melina walk over to the stairs and saw Eva coming down.
"Hey Ev."
"Hey Mel."
"Ev, can we like go out for a while after this is done?"
"Sure. We can grab a bite."
"Great idea."
They got in the living room and Eva use her laptop to find some information. They tried to finish the project in two hours time but they took it a little bit longer. After 3 hours have passed, they finished it.
"Yes! Done it."
"Yeah. Now, someone just need to hand it over to Ms Taylor."
"I'll do it."
Melina and Jack turn to face John then Eva, the ones who volunteered to do it.
"So who's gonna be it?"
Melina asked while folding her arms.
"We'll go together then. Since I'm heading to the theater on Monday."
"Oh, okay."
Jack said and look at Melina.
"So, I have to head home now."
"No you can't!"
"What's wrong guys?"
Jack asked in confusion as Melina and Eva stop him in unison. Melina try to come out with an excuse to stop him.
"Me and Mel are heading for dinner later with John and the others. You have to come."
"We are?"
John asked and Eva elbowed his stomach.
"Oh yeah, we are. I forgot."
John act like he do know about the dinner plan.
"So Jack, you're tagging along right? Cody, Randy and the others are with us."
"Yeah sure then."
"And Mel, your books?"
John asked Melina who is on the phone. He sigh as she didn't replied.
"Let's just leave it here okay? We can get it later."
"Sure."
"I have to get ready now. Wait up."
"Sure."
Jack replied as Eva pull John to her room.
"What are doing? I'm a guy and you want to change with me in your room?"
Eva slap him lightly and laugh.
"Of course not! I want you to call all of your buds. Cody, Randy, Morrison, Miz and also ask Mel to call all of our friends. Get it?"
"Yeah. Now, do I need to stay or out?"
"Out!"
"Okay. You don't have to shout, the least."
Eva rolled her eyes as she listens to her brother grumbles as he make his way out of the room. Eva then closed the door and locked it. She pull off the curtains and open her closet. She choose to wear a simple kind of top and bottom as they're not going too far. Then she just grab out a pink long shirt with a white skinny jeans following with a gray strap. She wear some blusher and lip gloss and rush down.
"Let's go now!"
"Okay."
They answered in unison. John and Eva is fetching Candice as she don't have a car plus she have no one to go with. Melina is driving as well as Jack. Miz is fetching Mickie as Melina have to fetch Morrison. Jack is heading to the restaurant with Elly.
Moments later, all of them reach at the carpark and they mix up with their friends.
"Babes! I miss you."
"Did John abuse you just now?"
Mickie asked Eva.
"No, he don't. Why asked?"
"You sound like you really did something wrong. Ha ha. But who cares? Let's group hug."
The 5 girls hug tightly and let go after a few seconds.
"Anyway, who make MIZ fetched me?"
Mickie asked sternly, breaking the happy moment.
"I did."
Eva raised her hand a little.
"You obviously want to kill me with that freak! Why don't you just ask Cody to fetch me?"
"Because John and I don't have Cody's number."
"Ha ha. Great excuses."
Mickie grumbles as the others laugh their heads off.
"So Jack, you're still not asking her out?"
"Huh? Who are you referring to Cods?"
"Her."
Cody pointed out to Elly who is laughing with the other girls.
"So?"
"Party."
"What? That will be weeks later!"
"And it's going to be a surprise Cody, so shut it."
"Yeah, sure. Until PARTY."
Cody sigh as Jack have been wanting to go out with Elly but he's just too shy to ask her. Cody never gives up on encouraging him to ask her out till now.
"Hey John!"
"Morrison! Melina get you here?"
"Yeah. She'll have to send me back home later. Ha ha."
"You're so ungentleman do you even know that?"
"What about you Johnny boy? You just come out of the car with your look-alike sister, Eva."
"She is my sister, if you're still outdated."
"Great now you're just a brother? And why am I always the last to know stuffs?"
"I don't know. Maybe you're born too little too late."
"Man, shut up. You never know the word humor do you?"
"Never."
"As I thought so."
Morrison then walk over to Melina. John locked his car and checks his phone for any miss calls or texts.
"Randy, man who are you staring at now?"
"No one Miz. And who should I be staring at?"
"Eva. Man, if you're lying to me, it wouldn't work."
"And why is that so?"
"Because you're like head over heels with Eve and now you're falling for Eva. I do think that so."
"Miz, butt off."
"A fact that Randy Keith Orton is denying. Come on Ran, she's still single. You can ask her out sometime."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"Yesterday I bump into her in school and she drop her books. Then I saw a picture of a guy hugging her. They look so together and when I ask her who is that guy, she run away."
"He may be someone."
"Sure he is. If not, she surely don't have any reason for avoiding me."
"Why don't you ask John?"
"FREAK! Do you want me to be dead early of what?"
"What does that suppose to mean?"
"John may have feelings for her too, dufos!"
"They are just brother and sister."
"How the heck do you know that?"
"Morrison just told me just now. Even Morrison suspects that he have feelings for Eva. Weird."
"Crap. Let's go now. They're going inside."
"All right."
They followed the girls inside and get seated. They sit randomly and from the left to right it's Candice, Miz, Cody, Mickie, Jack, Eva, Randy, Elly, John, Melina and Morrison. They order their meals and have a chat for a while.
"Hi Candice."
"Hi Miz."
"You're so quiet. Why aren't you talking?"
"I'm just tired, that's all."
"Oh. Plenty of work at home?"
"Yeah, kind of."
Miz keep on talking to Candice as he pitied Candice who is tired and lonely, sitting at the edge of the table. Cody and Mickie were looking at each other and smile. They didn't say a word as both of them don't know how to start the talk.
"Mickie right?"
Cody suddenly asked after minutes keeping silent.
"Yeah I am. You're Cody?"
"Yes I am. How did you know?"
"The boys keep on calling your name and I know it."
"Oh yeah! A stupid question for a smart girl you huh?"
"Ha ha. I think so."
"So how's your knee?"
"My knee?"
"Yeah, during gym you fell and I forget to ask you about it last lesson."
"Oh that one, it's fine now."
They kept silent again after that. Nothing to be talked about as they don't have much in common.
