Again for the second day in a row, Evonne arrives home panting. The scene that greets her is the same as any other day, a cold house, and a booming desperate voice.
She really could not be bothered to eat dinner so she cooks instant noodles and leaves them next to her mother's bedroom door. She takes last nights dinner, this mornings breakfast and today's lunch downstairs. Her mother has eaten a small portion of everything; it seems just enough to keep her alive.
Evonne sits down on her bed and turns on the radio.
Hey Mom, why didn't you tell me. Why didn't you teach me a thing or two? You just let me go out into the world never though to share what you knew.
She tips out the content of her bag. She works for an hour or two. When she is finished, she wraps it in colourful paper. She sits down at her desk and with a sigh begins to do her homework. She supposes that there is less homework these days but she didn't seem to ever want to do it.
The phone rings. There is breathing. Evonne frowns this sounded like some teen horror movie.
"Hello?"
"I found you."
"What?"
There is silence on the other end of the phone. She knows that this sounds too much like a teen horror movie to be true but then again teen horror movies have always scared her. She doesn't know who to call or where to go. Plus she can't leave her mother locked in her bedroom. Evonne spends the rest of the night curled up in front of her mother's bedroom door.
Evonne walks into school the next day and is immediately bombarded with the latest gossip. Manny asked Craig out.
Evonne smiles as she walks up to Craig.
"I heard the good news."
Craig smiles at her and before she has time to react.
"Smile."
There is a sudden flash in front of Evonne's eyes and when she regains her senses Craig is grinning at her.
"Gotcha. You didn't think that I would let you take a photo of me without me taking a photo of you would you?"
Evonne shakes her head. Evonne gives a weak smile; she is way too tired to continue this conversation. She walks away from Craig leaving him mystified. Craig can't seem to stop smiling all day, tonight he is going on a date with Manny.
Manny smile is permanently plastered on her face. But then again that was to be expected this is one of the most interesting things that has happened in a long time at Degrassi.
Evonne lies on her bed she glances at the clock on her bedside table. The glowing dials say it is 6:30. Evonne gets up and runs out of the house. She doesn't need to say goodbye she already checked on her mother when she got home.
Evonne reaches Craig's house panting. She frowns at herself and silently asks herself why she ran. She shrugs and pushes the doorbell. Craig opens the door and Evonne's eyes grow a little wider.
He looks so.gorgeous. Evonne is temporarily jealous of Manny but that fades just as quickly as it comes. For a moment, they are both speechless. Joey walks out and stands beside Craig.
"Hey Evonne. What are you doing here?"
"Huh? Oh! Actually I came to see Angie and to wish Craig good luck on his date."
Evonne smiles at Joey, Craig and now Angela who is peeping out from between Craig's legs. Evonne crouches down until she is eye level with Angie.
"Hey Angie, how are you?"
"Good."
"I have something for you."
Evonne turns for a second and opens her bag. She pulls out a parcel wrapped in colourful paper. She hands it to Angie who beams at her and is about to run away when she is stopped by Craig.
"What do you say?"
"Thank-you Evonne."
"You're very welcome."
Craig glances at his watch and his eyes widen in something close to a panic.
"It's 6:45! I have to go. Cya Eve, Cya Joey, Bye Angie."
"Good Luck, Craig!"
Craig smiles one last time at Evonne and disappears around the corner. Evonne turns back to Joey who steps aside to let Evonne come in. Evonne smiles and walks in to find Angie.
Angie comes running waving a glittery wand in the air. She jumps up and down excitedly.
"Look! Look!"
Joey laughs and picks her up. Angie bounces up and down in his embrace. Joey puts Angie down on the seat. Angie pulls Evonne over to help her colour.
"So, Evonne, are you good friends with Craig?"
"Um.I don't know. Possibly."
"I think you probably are."
Evonne smiles at Joey. They spend most of the night just talking and keeping Angie company while she watches cartoons. They stop as they hear Craig come in. Evonne runs up to him.
"So.How was it?"
Craig simply shakes his head and walks up the stairs. Evonne's eyes follow his back upstairs, she turns around and shrugs.
"I have to go now anyway. Thanks for having me Joey. Bye bye Angie."
Craig watches Evonne's figure disappear around the corner. He flops down exhausted onto his bed and tries to forget what happened that night.
