Spark Chapter 9, a sky high fanfic

Evangeline was never the most extraverted person. Considering that, she and Warren should make good Mad Science partners, right?

So, soon I shall be on spring break. Bad news – no internet/no time for internet. Good news – tons of writing time while driving. So, I might be able to turn out a chapter or two soon. Today, we'll be developing some side characters more. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I own only Evi and her fam. Nothing else.

"Do you think that Warren enjoyed watching our class on Monday?" Samantha asked as she, Evangeline, and Garrett left the studio on Friday.

"Why do you always have to ask that?" Garrett groaned. He was so over the fact that one of them was dating, especially since Samantha was always bubbling about it.

"He probably thought we're a bunch of crazy people," Evangeline teased her.

Samantha sighed, unsatisfied. The week had passed with ease. Warren had gone back to his shifts on Wednesday and Evangeline had continued with her ballet classes. So far, it seemed pretty simple. They hung out at school, that's what it appeared to be to other students. They still passed notes in Mad Science when Mr. Medulla wasn't looking. If it continued like this, neither of them would have a problem with it. Warren was ecstatic that he and Evangeline were dating and Evangeline was definitely getting used to the whole dating thing. "You should just ask him," Samantha muttered quietly.

"Sam, you're not even dating him!" Garrett cried out, exasperated. "Evangeline is, not you! She should care more about his opinion than you should!"

Samantha rolled her eyes. "What? Is Garrett jealous that Evangeline's dating and he's not?" she mocked him.

"That's it! I'm out of here until you stop talking about him!" Garrett started walking faster. Evangeline sped up to catch up to him as Samantha went onto her street.

"I'm sorry Gar," she told him softly. "If I had known that Sam would have freaked out so much after meeting him, I wouldn't have brought Warren to dinner."

"It's not your fault," he sighed, somewhat angrily and somewhat sadly. "She's just taking it too far."

"Wait a minute – do you have a crush on Sam?" Evangeline teased him a little, bumping his shoulder playfully. He gave her a look of confusion. "Whoa, what? You actually have a crush on Sam?"

"Of course I don't, Evi…" he cut her off.

"Why else would you be so perturbed about her infatuation with my boyfriend?" she jumped in, not listening.

"I tell you, I do not have a crush on Samantha…"

"If you didn't you wouldn't care about her incessant talking about Warren," Evangeline held her finger out as if proving a point. She walked quickly and stepped in front of him. "Do you, Garrett? Do you have a crush on Sam?"

Garrett stopped and glared at her. "Evi…is it that obvious?"

Evangeline's mouth dropped a little before she tackle-hugged him. "Oh, Garrett! That's wonderful!" Evangeline let go and they started walking again. "Were you planning on asking her out sometime soon?"

"I just don't know…I mean, I'm trying to find out if she's already got a date to our homecoming, but I don't know how she'll react and…" Garrett answered her calmly as they turned onto their street.

"Our? Are you still bitter about the fact that I'm not going to public high?" Evangeline rolled her eyes a little. "Anyway, just ask her. She hasn't said anything about a date, she would have, and she'll say yes."

"Oh she will, will she?" Garrett asked her suspiciously.

"Trust me – she'll be thrilled," Evangeline smiled at him as they stopped in front of her house. "Well, this is my stop. I'll see you Monday, Garrett."

"Yeah, if I survive asking her tomorrow during her modern class," he rolled his eyes. "Bye Evi." Garrett headed across the street to his house as Evangeline opened the door to her house.

"I'm home, Ed!" she shouted so that Edward could hear her, wherever she was. Evangeline went up the stairs and shut the bathroom door. She carefully pulled the pins out of her hair and released it from her bun before taking it back into a rather loose ponytail. Evangeline pulled on her pajamas, washed her face, brushed her teeth, picked up her ballet bag, and went to her room. At first, she was shocked. She dropped her bag by the white wicker chair near the door. "Warren, what are you doing here?" she asked, shutting the door behind her.

"Edward seems pretty cool about all this," he smiled at her from the window seat. "He let me up here. I figured, since we weren't able to hang out today…"

"Oh, I see," Evangeline smiled at him, taking a seat across from him. They kissed briefly. "Edward would be better with this sort of thing anyway," she remarked while leaning back.

Warren nodded and held up a picture from her bedside table. "Is this your whole family?"

Evangeline leaned closer to him, looking at the image. "Well, that's Ella, my mother," she pointed to the far left of the picture, "my father, Elijah, Emmett, myself, and Edward." Elijah had dark brown hair that was a little long and curly and was tall. Ella had long, curly, dark brown hair and was about average height. Emmett, whom Warren had never seen, had slightly long dark blonde hair and was fairly tall. Edward looked like…well, Edward. Warren nodded as he looked at the picture. "Yeah, we're quite the group," she added teasingly.

Warren laughed. "They look nice," he commented, putting his arm around her.

"Until I break it to them that I've broke their rules," Evangeline rolled her eyes as Warren chuckled again. "So, anyway, how are you?" She looked up from the picture at Warren, smiling.

"I am happy that we get to spend time together," he beamed back at her.

"I would like to take this opportunity to point out that, while we may be the only two in this room, Edward is still here too," Evangeline held her finger out as if to make a point. Warren laughed again.

"You don't need to worry about that," he smiled again.

Evangeline bit her lip for a moment. "Hold that thought…" She got up, went to her desk, pulled a disk out of a case, put it in a boom box, and hit the play button. She went back and sat next to Warren. "Now, where were we?" Evangeline added on a smile.

"Right about here," Warren leaned forward and kissed her. Evangeline giggled a little when he pulled away. "So, what shall we do tonight?"

"Well," Evangeline shifted in his arms a little, before suggesting, "We could watch a movie."

Warren smiled. "I think that sounds great." Carefully and as graceful as possible, they got up and went down stairs. Edward sat in a chair in the living room, reading a book. He glanced up.

"And what are you two up to this evening?" Edward asked calmly, still holding his book in the same place.

"Movies. Would you like to join us?" Evangeline smiled at him.

Edward shrugged. "I might watch for a little bit, but not the whole night." His eyes traveled back to the book. Evangeline led Warren to the entertainment console and opened up a door. She gestured to him to choose a movie. He glanced around at the titles. He hadn't seen a fair amount of them. Finally, he pulled out a movie near the front of the lines. Edward glanced up again. "Ah, one of Evi's favorites," he remarked, rolling his eyes a little. The movie was 10 Things I Hate About You. Evangeline turned on the television and player, put the DVD in, and they settled in on the couch as the movie began.

"So, what exactly is the premise?" Warren asked, his arm around Evangeline as they sat on the couch.

"Well, William Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew modernized," she replied, leaning her head on his shoulder. He nodded a little. Soon, Edward went upstairs and shut the door to his room. It was fairly good, even for a chick flick, Warren thought. Near the end, he glanced down at Evangeline. She was asleep in his arms. He smiled, leaning back. Once it was over, it just went to regular television. He let it keep playing as he fell asleep as well.

It was school on Monday and the game was Save the Citizen. Warren and Will were still the undefeated heroes (as they had been since defeating Lash and Speed) and facing off another pair who knew they'd loose. Rather than sitting alone or by Edward, Evangeline found herself next to Layla, Ethan, Magenta, and Zach. The four were cheering wildly for their friends and boyfriend. Evangeline wasn't used to this.

"Go Will!" Layla shouted. Evangeline looked around awkwardly. Layla smiled at her. "Don't worry about it. It's easy. All you have to do is cheer…okay, maybe it's not so simple," she laughed a little.

Evangeline smiled and went back to watching. A new one had started less than a minute ago, but it looked to be difficult for the pair to pull off a victory now. She bit her lip a little. "Come on Warren!" the cry tore from her lips before she could realize it. The four glanced at her for a moment, but smiled and went back to cheering on their boys. It came so natural, which is what frightened her. Warren got thrown into a wall by a person's power and Evangeline drew her breath in. He jumped back up and began throwing fireballs at the kid.

Before she knew it, the whole room was shouting in unison, "Six! Five! Four! Three! Two! One!" No one had realized that the villains had been thrown down and the citizen had been rescued during those speed filled moments.

"Heroes win!" Boomer shouted over the noise as the last game of the day finished up.

A cheer came up from the crowd as they flooded the arena. Layla ran up to Will, giving him a hug and kissing him as congratulations. Evangeline looked through the sea of people for Warren. He didn't even spot her until she ran up and wrapped her arms around him. "You were amazing," she whispered in his ear. A smile spread across his face. Edward knew that Evangeline would do something a little too drastic, especially for trying to hide that she and Warren were together. He wasn't surprised when the two kissed for a brief time.
