Chapter 3 Evan's Adventure of Sleepovers!

"I'm you father, Evan." Gill repeated.

"…..Are you sure?" he said, quite nervously, regaining his normal colour. Gill thought he was definitely his, due to his fast shocked state.

"Yes, you're mother confirmed it with me."

"Thank you….Mayor." he said, nervously, as the topic about his father was itching him to ask his mother.

"You know, Evan, there is no need to call me Mayor. Call me dad or something like that." Gill said as he laughed at the stubbornness of Evan, nervous or not.

"Ok, dad." He said smiling the exact same way Angela would've.

"You know what, Evan? You can stay over at my place for a few days and come help me at the town hall, deal?" Gill said, staring at the room and thinking about how much he loved his documents and stuff. Evan looked like he could've jumped to the moon and back, twice, with the energy and willingness current shown.

"Is this a dream?" Evan asked, pinching himself. Gill, who saw, slowly smiled but then laughed. This caused Angela to walk in.

"Hey, boys, what's going on?" she said.

"Nothing, mum. Dad just laughed after I pinched myself." Evan said, having a smug look on his face. Angela looked at him, laughing.

"What? I just invited Evan to my place and all I get is someone pinching himself and someone laughing the hell out of themselves?" Gill said with a perfect fake pout. Angela immediately stopped laughing and turning into something people know as 'mum mode'.

"Ev, I'll let you go with your father for a few days. You are responsible however with your items." Evan cringed at his mother's so called 'nickname' that she gave him. Gill who was looking bewildered stared at Evan for a while until Evan whispered loud enough so he could only hear that he'll tell him later. Evan left and packed his things, just a few pieces of clothing, some of his personals and a few books. When he was ready, he left with Gill. On his way to his place, he bumped into Matt and Heath.

"Hey, you're the new kid right?" Heath asked.

"Yup, I'm Evan. Who are you?" Evan asked as Gill took his things and moved ahead.

"I'm Matt and that's my best bud, Heath." Matt said while pointing at Heath. Evan looked at them and smiled.

"Well, I better go now. It's nice meeting you." Evan said.

"See ya, lil 'chap." Heath shouted while walking away. This bewildered Evan a little.

"You know, I'm older than you!" Evan shouted as he laughed. He got out his map of Waffle Town and in no time, he found Gill's house. He was in awe when he saw the size of the house. When he got inside, he was shellshocked, not only at the size, but how pristine and formal everything was.

"Son, your room is the first room you see when you go upstairs. I've already placed your personals on your bed." Gill said while smiling, a genuine smile. Evan smiled too and ran upstairs awaiting his new life with his father.

But no, this isn't where the chapter ends.

The phone rang and Gill picked it up. He said a few words that Evan couldn't decipher. When he was off, Evan started to read a book, well until he was disturbed by something, or rather somebody.

"EVAN!" He cringed at the volume of his father's voice. Immediately, he walked to where he presumed Gill would be.

"Jin just called. He invited you to Van's sleepover party. You want to go?" Gill asked.

"Sure. Wouldn't hurt to get to know everybody." Evan said with a shrug. Gill thought, he hasn't met the rest of the kids, namely Angie and Van himself. He went back to his room, got out the, mainly the books and other things to place around the room, put some clothes in the wardrobe in there. He left some clothing in his bag for the sleepover. When he got his stuff, he placed the book he was reading haphazardly in between his body and his arm.

"Evan, do you know where Jin lives?" Gill asked, just remembering that he probably had no idea where everything is.

"First house when you enter Maple Lake District when you are going through the intersection."

"H-how did you know what?"

"Mum's map."

"Right. Well, have a nice time, I'll come and pick you up…..tomorrow morning." Gill said, while thinking about the invitation that wasn't given but phoned.

Evan POV –

When dad told me that he would pick me up tomorrow morning, I just shrugged. I walked out, waved goodbye and walked to Jin's place. When I got there, I knocked on the door. A man with black hair tied into a ponytail with a doctors coat answered it.

"Oh, you must be Evan. Hello, I'm Jin." He said, smiling at me.

"Hello sir, I was invited because….." I stopped since I recalled something.

Flashback

When I had breakfast, before my mum walked to the mayor, she came to me and whispered something to me.

"If I or your someone tells you who your father is, don't tell them who he is, ok?"

"Mmphmm" I said, while nodding.

"….I called your father, Evan. Don't worry, I'm the only one, apart from Anissa, who knows. She swore to the goddess that she wouldn't tell." Jin whispered into my ear. When he let me through, I walked up to the first person I knew who was there, Matt and Heath.

"Matt, Heath, what's up?" I said. This was my other personality. When there are people my age around me, I tend to turn 'childish'. This is my mother's side of me coming out.

"Hey, it's Evan. Nothing's going on, nothing gonna happen so far!"

After that sentence, everything about the party part of the sleepover party was a blur. I couldn't remember much since I wasn't paying attention. I did remember who Angie and Van are since I was talking to them for a while. They seemed to be friendly, though Angie was shy and Van was just…wayyyy to nerdy. And I thought I was a nerd. Well, he just smashed me, which made me happy. During the sleepover part, Matt, Heath and I, well….we played a few games, doing a few good childish pranks which made everyone, including the adults and the victims to laugh. During that time, Matt, Heath and I were probably the best of friends.

It then hit me. What about my parents? Are they going to stay like this forever? Are they going to get married? Or are they going to hate each other?

I was confused and ended up in the middle.

I didn't know what to do, I just fell asleep with a smile on my face.

A/N: I swear, this chapter was the boringest (is that a word?) chapter I've ever writted, though it plays a vital role in my haven't-made story line.

Hey, at least I didn't leave you on a cliffhanger =P
