Episode 3

Narrator's Pov:-

Evan left leaving Lia in a dilemma ...she could not choose between her heart and mind...

"uh...what the hell..."she whispered under her breath.

After a while Evan texted her to be outside her home by 7 p.m to which she replied with a thumbs up.

Before seven ,Lia was ready wearing a soft white frock.

waiting for Evan outside her home.

She continued checking her time when Evan startled her with his entry in his beautiful black car.

"My goodness you freaked me out"Lia complained.

"I am sorry ,get in....."he added.

Lia saw a girl with wavy hair,hazel eyes,cherry red lips and a sharp nose bridge wearing a deep red gown, sitting in the front with Evan.

"So she's Ema ...."she thought and opened the door of the backseat.

She was standing still cursing herself and recalling every reason for which she was going with them.....in their date night.

"Lia is there a problem?"asked Evan gently.

Lia came out of her thoughts and entered the backseat and settled down comfortably.

As she shut the door close,Evan started driving.

"Lia this is Ema...the girl about whom I had told you today"He introduced,""Ema this is Lia, my childhood friend...."

"She's cute...I wonder if you have ever fallen for her "She chuckled.

Evan did not reply her , instead he gave an awkward laugh.

Lia was seated with her heart poundering at Ema's word...

Soon they reached the restaurant and Evan with Ema headed inside leaving,Lia alone....

Lia was scrolling her phone down as the silence penetrated inside the car's window...Lia felt eccentric...the chaos inside her heart was enough to break the silence which made the atmosphere peculiar...

To come out of the situation and to make herself better she watched reels and shared conversations with her friends.

Suddenly, out of the blue she got a call from her mother and she picked it up.

"Hello Lia...Sir Johannes (Lia's class teacher) has informed in the group that your exams are on their way...I think you can ask Evan to help you out with extra books and previous years question papers,,,he is your senior so I guess he can help you with it...."She explained.

"Uh...okay mom...I will ask him out after the dinner..."she replied.

"By the way, how's the dinner going? "asked Lia's mom.

"It's fine...Evan has ordered chicken nuggets and burger...he is eating them like a beast...I think mom I should hang up now....I m sorry I will call you later ..okay??"

"Hmm take care" said her mom and Lia hanged up.

"Huh!"Sighed Lia,keeping her hands on her forehead..."Wtf!"

Suddenly she was startled by a knock at the window.It was Ema.She had held packed food in her left hand.

Lia opened the window and Ema handed her the food.

"Lia...it's your favourite grilled chicken...Evan told me to give it you ...all the time we were inside ,he was tensed about you..here have it..."Said Ema.

Lia took the stuff and asked,"Where's he?"

"Paying the bills...he'll be here in two minutes"Ema had not even completed her words that Evan showed up.

"How were you all this time?''He asked Lia...

"fine..."Lia replied.

Ema and Evan got inside the car and Evan drove quickly.

"Evan..."called out Lia.

''Hmm..."

"I need some books and previous two years question paper from you... whenever you're free ''

"Uh..okay.. let me drop Ema and then we'll head my home."

"But it's too dark.... isn't it...."Lia was nervous.

"But we leave inside the same building... don't we?"

Then the silence broke out and Evan dropped Ema home.
