Evangeline's POV
I watched my twin walk up to the starting line. He looked nervous, as he should, considering he was racing against kids twice his size. Talon's always been one of the quiet kids, and other kids thought he was stuck up. Now that we're in highschool, I think that we should be past the whole 'my bruise is bigger than your bruise' stage. Apparently not.
"Hey butt-head! I got twice the muscle of you." Logan said to my brother in a low voice. I haven't ever questioned my hearing abilities, Mom said it's just who I am.
"Yeah, but have you got the speed of me?" Talon whispered back, smiling evily.
Ohhhh no. This was going to be a long race.
The triplets were sitting around me, playing with the ends of my hair. We were at the track meet, as Zane had dragged us here to support Talon. I would have come anyway, but the triplets have a party to go to afterwards which they need a ride to. They are not too happy to be here.
Zane came back from the concession stand with a Pepsi for me, and three hotdogs.
"Thanks for the thought Zane, but we don't eat dogs." Haley tossed her hair over her shoulder. I never said they were the brightest.
"Good, cause they're not for you!" Zane pushed Hannah over so he was sitting next to me.
"Geez Zane, you ate before we got here!" I pretend scolded him.
"Gotta fulfill my appetite!" Zane grinned at me, making me smile back automatically. Zane's dark hair fell in his face, and I automatically reached up to brush it away.
Realizing what I was doing, I blushed and dropped my hand. Zane laughed again.
Just then, a shot was fired and the race started. Talon quickly took the lead, but fell back so he was only a few feet ahead of everyone else. I saw Logan reach up and grab a chunk of Talon's hair. Talon winced, and slowed down to match Logan.
The triplets laughed.
"Logan is so funny!" Haley laughed.
"Yeah, downright hilarious." I spoke sarcastically. Zane laughed again.
"What?" I was getting irritated that Zane kept laughing at me.
"You sound just like your mom. Your dad would have been proud." Zane smiled sadly at me. I felt my chest tightening, either at the thought of my Dad or of Zane's smile. Possibly both.
It's obvious why Zane's smile would have made me nervous, he has perfect teeth and smiles often, making anyone happy.
My dad. He's a different story. My mom doesn't like to talk about him, or even remember. The doctor said it was just her way of grieving.
Next time you're complaining about how embarrassing your dad is, remember me.
I haven't seen my dad for four years.
And I have no clue where he is.
Or if he still loves me.
Or if he's alive.
Wow, this is my second chapter today, and I'm working on the next one. I need suggestions again. (sorry!)
What should I name Angel's daughter. She is in eighth grade at the time of this. I already have a…visual image of her in my head, so I just need name ideas.
As you might be able to tell, I kind of suck at this whole naming thing.
