"The name's Evony; like Ebony, but with a B. Binker and Stein, huh? Swank digs you must have then. How come I've never seen you before?" They sat down in the auditorium, far enough away so that mindless inattention at the teacher's drivel wouldn't be recognized, but so that should you choose to be included in discussion, you could be noticed. Evony enjoyed English to an extent. She despised grammar, but she enjoyed allowing her mind to be free at the mercy of the pen in her hand. She wondered what sort of stuff Alex liked, but figured she would give his ears a break, and allow him to participate more in the conversation.<br/><br/>Evony was usually a little more withdrawn but for some reason, Alex's presence loosened her up a little bit. She wondered why. It wasn't often she felt so comfortable around another human. His chi was warm..inviting.
