Ooooo, Marie could tell that Evan was NOT being truthful with her about how he was feeling. She however was not going to just let it go like he did. Nope, she was going to keep the conversation off her and on him.
"Come on Evan, I know you better than that." Well she liked to think she did. "I know you are not fine. If you were you would be telling me I told you so about Carter. I know that is something you've been wanting to say for a LONG time." Okay, so much for keeping Carter out of the conversation.
WAIT!
Did he just say he wasn't going to see Mina until next summer? No, she had to have heard him wrong. She knew for a fact that Mina was planning on seeing him at Christmas time. "Umm I thought you would see Mina at Christmas. She told me that's when she was hoping to see you next. Don't you want to see her then?" She knew Mina would be heartbroken if Evan didn't want to see her at Christmas time.
Evan tried to smile, but failed when Marie said she knew him better. He couldn't get himself to smile in any way while they were talking about Mina's sudden departure. He nodded instead. She did know him well, and of course she could spot his lie. He sighed.
"Yes, I'm not fine. How can I be while everyone I get a little closer leaves the school next year?" She was exceptional of course, but only
she was. He missed Mina a lot, though he didn't like to show it.
He just had to grin at her next comments.
"I didn't say it not to upset you, but thanks for pointing it." Tehee. He was so very right from the very beginning. Maybe she would listen to him next time about Carter.
"I so told you from the beginning. You see, I'm a man and I believe I can judge males better than you." He nodded confidently, totally overlooking the fact that at that time he was jealous, and would see any guy unsuitable for her.
His face fell again at the name of Mina, though what Marie said lit it up immediately.
"Of course I want to see her!" he exclaimed. What did Marie truthfully think of him? That he tortured girls by avoiding them after a year or something?!
"Like I said, we didn't talk the details." Even though he didn't plan to go back home on Christmas, he would happily do it if it meant seeing Mina again.
