Evangeline: I’m sorry…he was just asking about something…
James: so? You know I don’t like it when you don’t follow orders…unless this boy is your boyfriend…
Evangeline: h- (gets cut off)
James: and don’t lie and say “Nick” is short for Nicole because I know that it was a boy! Now what did he ask you? And DON’T Lie! (Grasps her painful wrist)
Evangeline: (winces in pain) h-he asked me…I-if I want to go to his and h-his brother’s concert t-this S-Saturday…
James: who is this boy?! (Grasps her wrist tighter)
Evangeline: (starts crying from pain) I-it’s uh…N-Nick J-Jonas from the J-Jonas B-Brothers…
James: oh that curly haired boy from that stupid boy band you and your friend Paige gush over…what did you say? (Let’s go of her wrist)
Evangeline: I-I told him t-that I’d ask y-you first… (Wipes her tears)
James: well then you can go…as long as you don’t tell him anything about I do to you…
Evangeline: (looks up to James) really?
James: but don’t get used to me being all nice…I’m just doing this because you made me some good dinner…now get back to your homework then bed…and remember NO calls… (Leaves the room)
Evangeline: (sighs and rubs her still painful wrist wrapped in bandage) at least I’ll have some fun on Saturday…
