Bump! Oh...Hello There [Greg]

[Evelyn Blunt]

Evelyn was sitting in the food court along with her brother and a few of his friends and stared at the boys with a long sigh; she knew she wasn’t welcomed there and her brother did everything to make her feel unaccepted around his peers. Not that she wished to tag along with him; they had no choices. It was the trick that her parents found to leave them alone while they’d be busy fighting over only God knew what it was going to be about this time. She really felt out of space however, they completely ignored her, taking a snack; if she wanted something, she’d have to pay it herself. It was a good thing she brought her purse.

Her parents had forced her to tag along with him the entire time, none of the siblings were obviously happy with this. While she was busy looking at everything but herself, her brother was talking loudly, eying cute girls and talking about his nightstands with his friends. All of these were details she didn’t want to deal with. Why couldn’t she just stay at home and enjoy herself in her bedroom? She played with a lock of her hair looking bored out of her mind until her brother addressed a few words to her. “Look, I’m not happy about this, you’re not either, and for once I’ll be nice, go wherever you want, as long as you’re not with us.” She frowned, alone?! Where was she supposed to go?! Then again…being alone meant that she wouldn’t have to endure more of her unpleasant brother’s company. She thought it was a fine deal, for once.

She nodded her head, not speaking any more words before grabbing her purse and walking away like a good obedient little girl. She liked shopping, but the idea of shopping alone terrified her. What was she supposed to do now? Walking around stupidly without having anywhere to go in mind in particular or simply looking like a retard in the middle of the mall? She stopped along in her track before frowning even more; maybe it was a stupid idea to wander around all alone.

She felt so little in there, without having anyone to talk to; it almost felt like when she was at school, except with less people she could start a conversation with. That was bad. She held herself as she started walking over again, eying a few shops thinking that maybe she could try and get new clothes before school started over again, until she stepped onto one loose sheet someone threw, resulting her to gasp and hold onto the first person that was next to her. Wearing sandals in a mall wasn’t always a bright idea. She startled seeing what she had done and gasped ashamed of herself. “I-I-I’m sorry…” she stuttered blushing realizing that she had held onto a boy. She couldn’t see who it was but she had the feeling that she knew him, for now, all she could see was his back.


Notes: hope you don't mind I started it in her hometown C:.

[Greg Meyers]

Greg was bored at home.

Folks were off at a rehearsal, Sandy was off babysitting so there was no one at home. Even tv was unappealing, and the WII wasn't a great one player system. Was there such a thing a cabin fever during the summer? Whatever it was, Greg had to get out of the house. He got in his car and started to drive, nothing was jumping at him when he remembered Akron wasn't that far from Lima. Time to check the next city!

Finding the freeway exit, he drove a short distance till he found a mall. Best place as any to explore. He found a parking spot near the food court entrance and made his way inside. There was the usual assortment of people one would see at a mall. He walked for a bit, stopping by a pet store and watching the puppies at play. It brought a smile to his face.

Out exploring some more, he stopped when he felt someone grab him. He turned his head slowly back to see who it was. He had a half cocked smile on his face as he spoke to his "assailant".

"I'm not sure what happened but it ruined your chances of being a pickpocket." He thought she may have been the one he met at the BBQ. "Evelyn, right?"

[Evelyn Blunt]

Evelyn could feel the color of her cheeks darken and heath in her face grow warmer. How could she manage to bump into the same guy twice? Well, it wasn’t a surprise…she did that with Anthony too. Come to think of it, It was an everyday business; Evelyn always managed to meet people that way oddly. At least it proved she had more social skills than she had; she knew that if it wasn’t for her bumping into people as random as it could get, she was to end up alone for the rest of her life. She was just glad that she wasn’t always acting like a klutz even though it happened most of the time she was standing on her feet, which was always.

She couldn’t hide her embarrassment and she quickly looked down at her feet, ashamed of her actions and almost expecting some kind of wrath. However, the only words that escaped his lips were a simple and kidding remark about her being a pickpocket. Ah she doubted that it would ever work out; she was the less credible person in the entire world that she even began wondering about how she managed to be a part of Vocal Adrenaline; the answer was simple, it was pure luck.

She blinked as he seemed to remember her name, how odd, he was the second one who could remember of her…usually she was erased from the world and people barely glanced at her. Was this year finally going to be different? Either way, she was happy he did. She nodded giving him a shy smile, still fearing to have an eye contact with him.

“Yes…Greg right?” She asked, making sure that she wasn’t going to spoil his name. Wait, wasn’t he in New Directions, which meant Lima? What was he doing in her town. The thought made her slowly raise her head up to gaze at him, giving him a curious expression.

“W-what are you doing here?” She couldn’t help but ask, she hoped she wasn’t going to be rude though.
