Just Trying To Get By

Shaking her head, Joey felt something in her chest tighten. Looking down, the flesh of her ankle accidentally scraped the sharp tip of a certain hanger as blood soon trickled down her skin.

Evangeline turned back and ran to him, hugging him tightly. “Shut up.” She closed her eyes and held him there.

Mateo chuckled while hugging onto her and picking her up a little before putting her down and smirking.

Evangeline’s smile dropped as she looked and spoke monotonously. She sighed. “Oh well, guess we’re not friends anymore.” She turned her back and started to walk away.

Mateo placed a hand to his heart. “Wow, glad to know how much our friendship meant to you, Angel,” he pouted jokingly.

She grinned. “Nope. Can you do some impersonations for me?”

“Now why would I do that?” he questioned with a smirk.

Evangeline stopped laughing and smirked, a little impressed and taken aback. “Woah, look at that accent… Hm. Interesting.” She put a finger on her chin and tapped it lightly.

Mateo chuckled and shook his head. “You didn’t hear it before?” he replied with a raised brow, still keeping his accent thicker with a chuckle.
