EVAN POV

I woke up early for my first back to school in a while. To be completely honest, I'm nervous. Extremely nervous. Hopefully everyone will ignore me like always. The one time I want them to...

Every period today went smoothly for the most part, except for chemistry. Zoe talking with me is fine because I know her and I like her, but the teacher kept asking me.

"Oh hi Evan! Back to school, huh?"

"Yep," I mumbled with an awkward nod.

"What happened to your arm?" she basically announced, which was everyone's cue to focus on me and my injuries.

"Oh god. Um-"

"What happened in general? I know you got hurt but how?"

"Can I go to my seat now?"

"Just wondering. Now I'm extra curious though."

Ughhhh. Then Zoe spoke, "Mrs. Richardson, can we start class? I don't want homework..?" She smiled at me. I smiled back.

"Oh alright."

I need fresh air. "Can I go to the bathroom?"

She nodded. I headed outside and went behind the building like always. All the attention in class today was making me nervous. I sat on the green, but turning yellow, grass with my back against the brick wall. I let out a long sigh.

I heard footsteps. I looked up and saw a dark figure walking towards me. I looked even higher and saw a hand with black nail polish running through long brown hair.

"Even? You okay?"

I nodded. "People are just watching me and giving me fake sympathy because I have a cast on my arm and my foot."

"Because of me."

"Not because of you. Stop believing that."

"Whatever."

I patted the grass next to me, inviting him to sit, which he did. He put out a cigarette on the concrete sidewalk bordering the grass.

"That's not good for you."

"I know. That's why I do it."

That feels familiar. Apparently it does to Connor too, because he said, "Wait. You said that a few months ago. And I replied that same thing."

"I did?"

"Yeah. Remember? Chapter 4 of this fanfiction?"

"Oh right." I smiled a little. See, I'm remembering. I'm getting better everyday. Soon I'll be the regular Evan.

Connor started humming a song. He was kind of mouthing the words as he went.

Wise men say only fools rush in...

Wait.

But I can't help falling in love with you...

It reminds me of something.

Shall I stay, would it be a sin...

Holy shittake mushrooms! Sorry for my language!

"That's our song."
