I was listening to Evelyn animatedly describe the movie she saw last weekend, biding my time to tell her what happened with Abel. She was in full swing, gesturing so wildly that she accidentally hit a passerby.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," she apologized, turning around—only to realize who it was. "Hey, Abel! How's your day going?"
Abel gave her a quick, silent look, his gaze flitting past me without meeting my eyes. Then, he hurried off with his head down.
I rolled my eyes.
Evelyn noticed the awkwardness between us and immediately abandoned her movie recap, leaning closer to whisper, "What's going on between you two?"
Finally, my moment had arrived. I smiled mysteriously, leaning in to tell her the entire story of what had happened with Abel yesterday and how I had taught him a lesson.
Evely
