Chapter 14

Max

Man, was I confused. I thought I understood girls, but that was before I met Evangeline. For the life of me, I didn’t know why she was hot one day, then cold the next. I thought we’d gotten close during her driving lesson. She’d even agreed to go to Winter Formal with me (I totally had Evan and Emma to thank for that)! But since then, she’d put me squarely back in the friend zone.

When I said cold, I meant icy, blizzard cold. In the dead of winter cold—Eastern winters, mind you, not the mild California ones we had. Even though it was a toasty seventy-five degrees inside our classroom, I officially had freezer burn with the way Evangeline was freezing me out.

How bad was it? Let’s just say that my math book was giving me warmer vibes than she was.

She’d avoided me in class Monday and Tuesday and canceled our study sessions after school. I’d bought her excuse that she had to help her folks out at the car dealership. But when she wouldn’t even smile at me as I sat down next to her in precal today, I knew something was up.

Ever since class began, she had her eyes glued to the white board at the front of the room. With her shoulders back and chin up, she looked ready to battle any equation thrown her way. Her expression alone was a mood and a half. If I didn’t know how vulnerable she could be at times, I might’ve trembled in my Converse high tops. Instead, I kept sneaking peeks her way so I could appreciate how beautiful she was.

She had on my favorite color—a black oversized hoodie and a pair of black jeans—with her hair up for a change. Evangeline seriously rocked the messy bun look. With most of her dark brown hair piled on top of her head, the few strands that fell around her cheeks framed her face perfectly. If I had any artistic ability, I would’ve loved to draw her. But gazing at the real deal was way better than seeing a 2D version of her.

My attention got pulled away when something fell onto my desk. I glanced up to see the girl in front of me smiling over her shoulder. The friend sitting beside her giggled and pointed to my elbow. There I found a piece of lined paper folded into an arrow. I opened it up to find a note scrawled in pink pen.

Hi Max. Are you a 45-degree angle? ’Cause you’re acute-y!

My shoulders shook as I held back a laugh. Good one, I mouthed back to both girls. They grinned and turned around, satisfied with my reaction. I folded the paper back and stuck it in between the pages of my math book.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed some movement from Evangeline’s direction. I turned, surprised to see her gaze on me. Turning on the charm, I gave her my best smize—smiling not only with my mouth but my eyes, too.
