Chapter 7
Evelyn was taking a calm stroll around school grounds just thinking about what happened a week ago, when she and Wade got together, officially anyway. They became friends a while ago, and exactly a week ago, on this day, he asked her to be his girlfriend. She had no idea he thought of her that way, but she immediately agreed. So far he was being extremely cheesy, reminding her almost every day that she was his . So it wouldn't come as a surprise to her if he did something special for their one week anniversary, and speaking of him, he was just headed her way, looking very excited.
"Evly!" He called out and she bit back a smile and sighed.
"I have told you not to call me that." She scolded as he came up and gave her a peck on the cheek. "So what's the plan?"
"What plan?" He asked innocently with a smirk on his face and Evelyn bit the inside of her cheek.
"Oh come on!" She rolled her eyes. "You honestly expect me to believe the act? So what's the plan?" She repeated. But Wade just grinned.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out!" He said as he began to run towards the school entrance. Evelyn laughed and ran to catch up.
Once she got inside he was nowhere to be seen.
"Wade!" She called out and she heard a stifled laugh down the hall to the right. Grinning she silently headed down there. Another laugh was heard and then the sound of feet slapping the hard floor in an attempted camouflage run. Speeding up Evelyn gave a chase.
"Slow poke!" Her boyfriend's voice was heard ahead. She rolled her eyes and sped up even more. Where was he heading to? There was nothing here. And yet he kept going. Up a flight of stairs. Down a hallway. To the left. Down another hallway. Up another set of stairs. Did he even have a destination in mind? Where they just running pointlessly around the school? At times she saw glimpses of his form as he turned a hallway and he seemed pretty determined. For now, she kept running. Finally, after what seemed like an hour of random twists and turns she came to the end of a hallway and saw a door at the end, and it was opened.
After catching her breath Evelyn straightened herself out and cautiously peeped out the crack. They were on the roof. Going out completely she slowly walked to the edge. Her head swam as she looked down. Falling from here would mean several bad things. Turning back around she saw who led her here. Wade was standing behind her holding several white roses i.
"Mi amor," He smirked. "If you would please follow me." Evelyn simply nodded and let herself be led behind the small rise for the stairs. There was a table with some candles and a nice dinner. She looked at him with a loving smile.
"I had some help from my friends, and yours too." He said, watching her reaction carefully.
"It's wonderful." She whispered. They gazed into each other's eyes.
After eating the meal, they sat on a blanket and watched the sun, which had begun to slowly set. Evelyn sighed and rested her head on Wade's shoulder.
"You tired?" He asked, his brows furrowed in concern. Evelyn nodded, covering up a huge yawn.
"Yeah." She yawned again. "Kinda."
"Then let's get you to bed." Wade stood up and took Evelyn's hand, pulling her up. They began to walk back to her room, him supporting 90% of her weight. Her roommate, Emily, was absent. Possibly with her boyfriend. Wade led Evelyn to her bed and covered her with a blanket, kissing her on her forehead.
"Goodnight, Evly ." He murmured.
He was almost out of the room when he heard ,"I love you." He turned back and gazed at her. She probably wouldn't remember anything past him carrying her in the room.
"I love you too." He answered softly, and shutting the door left the room.
