fixing things, forgetting things and finding out things

‘you’ll have to learn to deal with it because every guy wears his clothes like this when he’s still home, or dorm for that matter’ I turned around and looked him in the eyes

‘I am not going to walk like that’

‘wasn’t saying you should’ I looked at him skeptical but let it go.

He held out a chair and I sat on it and let him do my face and hair, with his shirt open because he looked like he wasn’t going to button up his shirt any time soon.

‘mr. Onion is pretty nice’ I said when I walked out the English classroom with Jacob, Marcus was a little bit behind us typing away on his phone.

‘but Samuel was right, his breath really smells like onion’

‘when did he say that?’

‘when I pretended to be sleeping which didn’t work’

‘ah, yes, I remember’

‘Hey! Evan!’ I turned around

‘hey Bastian, or should I say Chris?’ I folded my arms and he rubbed his neck

‘so you know huh?’ I nodded

‘you know you can’t start a friendship by lying, so therefore you’re not my friend’ with that said I turned around and started walking away, but Chris held his hand on my shoulder

‘no please don’t walk away, I’m sorry’

‘you don’t mean that’ I said while turning around in one swift movement, I also poked him in the chest

‘don’t do that’ he said threatening

‘why not?’ I poked him in the chest again

‘that’s for lying to me and then pretending to be my friend’

‘don’t do that’ he said, but this time his voice was more darker, a circle was formed around us

‘okay, back of, you heard the lady’

‘ha. Ha. Very funny Marcus, but I’m not a lady’

‘oh no, you would have hit him already for lying to you’

‘you know I’m not that way, but you can do it for me’ I said while gesturing towards Chris

‘no, it’s okay’ Chris said immediately

‘oh. You scared for the big, bad Marcus?’ I said with a hint of mockery in my voice.

‘yes’ he said and I looked at Marcus with a questioning look but he just shrugged and started pushing his way through the crowd

‘come on Evan’ Jacob said while gesturing for me to go to him. 

‘What’s going on here?’ mister Silver appeared and I immediately backed away towards Marcus. I turned around and made my way through the crowd

‘Evan?’ I stopped dead in my tracks and the crowd made space around me so mister Silver could come through

‘what was going on and why were you sneaking away?’ I turned around and looked at his face, I was avoiding his eyes

‘look at my eyes when I’m talking to you.’ He said

“SHIT!” I looked him in the eyes

‘what were you doing?’

‘I was talking with Chris over there’ I said

‘about what?’

‘well, he lied to me.’ I said automatically
