Eva sat out on the balcony behind her room, somewhere she'd been spending more and more time lately. And why not? It hadn't even been half a year ago that Carrie had died- her fault. No one even brought the name up around her, tried to keep from reminding her. It didn't matter. She remembered anyway. Who wouldn't?
On top of that, Cassandra and Xander had stuck around, and seemed to be hanging out with Jack more and more. She couldn't do anything about that, and in fact hadn't even mentioned to Jack how much she hated it. He would know, wouldn't he, how hard it is to be around the friends of someone you killed, whether they knew she did it or not. Did they? She didn't know, didn't care.
Still, she couldn't blame him for picking up his old friends. She hadn't been good company for quite some time. She tried, at least, for Jack. He was the only person she really wanted to see ever, the only reason she left the house aside from school. Soon it would only be him; Graduation was sometime soon, wasn't it? There were probably all sorts of dances and parties and the like, but she hadn't been paying attention. Jack would probably tell her if anything important was happening, wouldn't he? If not, she supposed she just wouldn't know.
And so, she would sit out there all night, all weekend if she could, staring out into the forest.
What else was there to do?

Jack tapped his fingers against his thigh, checking his watch. It wasn’t like Eva to be late. Maybe she hadn’t gotten his message? Maybe she fell asleep? He flipped the tassel out of his eyes for the fiftieth time, wishing he had some scissors. He checked his watch one more time before dialing Eva’s number.

Eva barely blnked as her cell phone started ringing. Pulling it out, she checked the caller ID. Jack.
Biting her lip for a moment, willing herself to try to be cheerful, she opened the phone. "Hello, love."

“Where are you?” Jack tried to sound stern but was too relieved to sound too angry. “They’re gonna start calling names in like five minutes.”

Silence. Eva considered this for a second. "I guess I forgot..... sorry." The small smile she'd been able to manage dissappeared. "Is it too late for me to come?"

“No, babe.” Jack sighed. “Want me to pick you up?”

"Yeah.......' Eva sighed. "Where'd we put my cap and gown?"

“In your closet.” Jack stood, pulling his mom’s car keys out of his pocket. “I’ll be right there, sugar.”

"Alright, I'll put it on." Eva sighed slightly. "See you soon, love."

“Be there in a sec. Love you.” Jack flipped the phone closed and waved to his mom, signaling that he’d be back in a second before jogging to her car and taking off towards Eva’s house. He pulled in the driveway and glanced at the clock before heading for the front door, knocking twice.

"Come in!" Eva yelled from her room, where she was mechanically brushing her hair. She had her gown on, her cap sitting by her, but hadn't bothered to put makeup on or style her hair at all

Jack let himself in, jogging up the stairs and knocking lightly on Eva’s door before sticking his head in.
“Hey, babe.” He grinned at her, sitting on her bed. “Ready?”

Eva turned towards him slowly, trying to smile a bit. "Yes, I am."

“Let’s go, time’s a-wasting.” Jack laughed, hopping off the bed and grabbing Eva around the waist.

Eva smiled, genuinely this time, and kissed Jack's cheek. "Sorry I forgot..."

“Hmm, don’t worry about it.” Jack grinned, spinning her around once before setting her back down.

"I suppose we'd better head out?" Eva tilted her head slightly

Rose fidgited in the uncomfortable metal chairs the custodians had set up for them. She looked at Cain, frowning and mouthign the words, 'where are they?'. They, of course, being Eva and Jack. She looked to the two empty seats next to her and sighed, pushing up her cap. Damned thing wouldn't stop slipping over her eyes.

“I guess,” Jack sighed then grinned, grabbing her cap and her hand and pulling her after him down the stairs and to the car.

Eva smiled and let him pppppull her, not putting up too much resistance, but not helping him either.
"You think we'll make it on time?"
