Nathan’s few days turned out to be longer than that and it wasn’t until that Friday, the day before the dance that he showed up again. Evie had not seen Jonas around school for a while either. Even her own mother had gotten lost, in her studio painting and was either found sleeping in there or passed when Evie had finally arrived home. That week had also been first semester exam week for the seniors and Evie had spent many evenings hanging out at Cass’s, studying.

Monday, before the exams, Brian had talked her into going to a movie with him and she spent the entire date anticipating a very upset Nathan interrupting it, but Nathan never came and the date turned out to be an enjoyable one regardless. When Brian had dropped her off at her house, Evie had surprised herself by allowing him to kiss her on the lips to say his goodnight. It had been politely kept to a short one, but Evie still found out, that along with being attractive, smart and sweet, Brian was also a very good kisser.

She spent the remainder of the school week, looking for Nathan, watching out for Jonas and flirting a little in math class with Brian. Evie knew the day Nathan returned; it was going to be a very uncomfortable one for her. When Nathan showed up at lunch that Friday, Evie was glad she had told Brian about him and that Brian had never pressed to sit with her at lunch. Cass knew about her and Brian, but remained a good friend and spoke nothing about them at lunch that day to Nathan.

Evie had asked Nathan about his trip, which he then politely avoided discussing and Evie didn’t press it, feeling guiltily about Brian. They separated after lunch and Evie didn’t see him again that day. She later spent the night at Cass’s and spent the following day hanging out at the mall until it was time to get ready for the dance, where they then spent two hours, getting their hair, nails and makeup done at the mall salon. Afterwards they drove home to Evie’s, where her mother surprised her with brownies and her sobriety.

Evie was grateful for both, but could only eat one brownie per Cass’s demand, so they wouldn’t look bloated in their gowns.

“Hey… what happened to your back?” Cass asked her, surprised when she saw the wound on her back, as Evie pulled off her bath robe to get dressed.

Evie had forgotten about the scratch, having by then no longer needing the bandage and feeling no pain from it. It had actually healed up very nicely, leaving only thin, red marks down her back that probably would fade within a few months.

“I took a spill on the deck and scratched it on some nails.” She lied.

“Do you think your dress will cover it?” Cass asked her and walked over to the dresser for her makeup bag, “Because if it doesn’t, I can put some foundation on it…” she suggested and walked over to her.
