Eve hung up her phone and rushed to get ready. Half way through brushing her teeth, the phone rang. She answered it after quickly rinsing her mouth out.

“Hello?” She asked the phone.

“Eve, it’s Mom.” Her voice came through the phone, way too loud as usual.

“Oh, hi Mom. What’s up?” Eve asked while trying to do her make-up.

“I’m going to be late tonight.. You okay for dinner by yourself?” Mom asked.

Shocker there.. don’t I always? She wanted to resond, but her mom cut her off. “Thanks, hunny. Bye.” Click.

Eve threw her phone the her bed and left. She was at the school before Dante, so she sat down on the front steps and watched for his dirt bike.

I should have grabbed a coat.. Eve thought as a breaze picked up. Or drove here..

A few minutes later, Dante showed up. Eve stood slowly and then ran to give him a big hug once he was off his bike.

“Where’s your car?” Dante asked, looking around.

“Walked.” Eve answered.

“Okay then. Hop on.” Dante said, motioning behind him.
