Ms. Kwan says in her ever so soothing voice that the next topic for study is each other. She receives blank stares from a majority if not all of her class. She sighs heavily and repeats herself. The same reaction befalls her. She taps her finger on the desk thinking about another way to put it.
"We will be studying someone else's life."
A little more reaction spreads through the class, as they finally seem to comprehend what she is saying.
"I will be putting you in groups of 2 and no more. You will find out about the other person and together you will work on a visual presentation of each other."
"Evonne, go with Craig."
Evonne slides into the seat next to Craig and for a moment, they sit in silence. Craig looks over at her and Evonne looks over at him.
"So.what do we do Craig?"
Craig shrugs and is silent. He turns back to Evonne and seems to think about what he is going to say next.
"Why did you ask me about Manny today?"
"Err.because.you might as well know, although I doubt you're that dense to not notice that Manny likes you a lot."
Craig doesn't say anything he is thinking about Manny. Sometimes Manny is such a little girl but other times she is incredibly cute and almost irresistible. Evonne waves her hand in from of Craig's face.
"Hello? Earth to Craig."
"Huh? Oh yeah."
"Craig stop daydreaming about Manny so we can finish this assignment quickly."
Craig turns towards Evonne and finally starts working with her.
"How about you come to my house today and I can introduce you to Joey and Angie."
"Okay! Cool, I'll be there at 3:30."
Craig walks home slowly there's no point in hurrying, not really anyway. He thinks about Manny and about what drew him to Evonne in the first place. 3:30 arrives quickly and Craig is sitting on the front lawn making bubbles with Angela.
"Craig!"
"Hey Evonne, this is Angie."
"Hey Angie. Nice to meet you."
Angela smiles widely at Evonne and continues to play with her bubbles. Evonne smiles at Angela and Craig.
"So should we get started?"
"Sure."
Evonne places her bag on the ground. And reaches into it a few moments later she pulls out a white box like machine. She taps Craig on the shoulder.
"Smile!"
Craig smiles at the strange box and he soon realizes that it is a camera. The little gadget whirls with life and out of the top pops another white square. Evonne takes it out and shows Craig with a grin.
"Like my new Polaroid camera?"
"Yeah, cool."
Angela runs up to them and sits herself down in between them. They talk about everything. They talk until Joey comes home.
"Joey! I'd like you to meet someone. This is Evonne, she and I are doing an assignment together."
"Hey Evonne, nice to meet you."
"Hi."
"Would you like to have dinner with us?"
"No, I have to go. But thank-you anyway."
Evonne glances at her watch the glowing dial says that it is 5:45. She has 15 minutes to get home. She waves goodbye to Joey, Angela and Craig and disappears in an instant.
"She seems nice."
"Yeah Joey, she is."
"What's for dinner?"
Craig and Joey laugh at this completely random comment made by Angela, Joey picks Angela up and they all walk into the house.
In the mean time, Evonne reaches the front door of her house panting from running the entire way. She opens the door silently it clicks shut behind her. The house is dark but she knows that there is someone home, there's always someone home.
"Evonne?"
Evonne jumps with fright as the booming voice shots right through her body.
"Yes?"
"Where have you been?"
"At a friends house, we were working on an assignment."
She doesn't get a response. The voice was coming from upstairs. That meant that her mother had yet to leave the sanctuary of her bed. It's been over 3 months since John Roberts had stalked her mother and attempted to kill her.
They were in a witness protection program. It took them away from Australia and everything they knew and all the people they trusted, although Evonne's mother suffered from paranoia and found it hard to trust even her own daughter.
She heats up two instant dinners it occurs to her that they are running low on food, but she has no money to buy any more, the witness protection program never gave them enough. She has to ration everything she ate and at times, she just didn't eat.
Evonne walks quietly up the stairs and leaves the dinner in front of her mother's bedroom door. From experience no matter how much she coaxed her mother would not come out as long as she was there. In fact, it seemed that she hadn't seen her mother for over 2 weeks now.
Evonne sits herself in front of the television. She giggles to the lame jokes and the strange scenarios of the sitcom world. It helps her to shut off the world, to shut off what has happened.
