                   the last time she’d spoken to evan was when she blatantly stood him up on their date, fake date. crimson felt awful the minute she’d done it but impressing michael was always on the top of her list. she didn’t realize until she glanced over that she was standing beside evan, smiling sadly towards him. “hey ... ” she greeted him, her voice soft. “ you look good. ”

“This is weird, right? I mean... it’s just like it’s not really happening?” Imogen said in a whisper. They were all here, remembering a boy that many of them had either barely known or disliked. Michael had been broadly beloved, but Imogen had seen a lot of people already who had reason to never want to pay honour to someone who had such an ugly side sometimes. 

Like a lot of other people, Imogen felt like she was mostly there for show. She suspected it was much the same for Evan. “Ummm, did you have a nice summer?”
