✦ —- the few miliseconds that passed as he waited for her to answer drew out slower than he could’ve thought and he held his breath, anticipatingly agonizing for her response. when she spoke – just that ONE word – his heart thumped louder. his hands went jittery, warmth spread through his cheeks and evan could finally breathe. a small huff of laughter escaped his lips and he smiled so wide, unable to contain his glee.   

          ❝ awesome – a-and don’t worry. my lips are sealed. ❞   there was a bounce to his steps as he turned to leave, ready to leave for another class, when he looked back at her to finalize,   ❝ so, uh, this sunday. four pm? ❞

_{her shoulders shook with near silent laughter, eyes crinkling. it was weird, being so happy again, but a good weird. she had evan to thank for that. if they hadn’t already agreed ( albeit with a good bit of reluctance on her part ) to remain a secret around school, she would have hugged him. to think, he expected her to act normally around him when he was smiling at her like that.}

_{zoe’s head fell to the side thoughtfully as she watched him amble away && she breathed a content huff, hugging her book in poor substitute for evan. ❝—- yeah, that sounds perfect. ❞ both of her hands balled into matching thumbs-up. ❝—- i can’t wait. ❞}
