It Was Just Another Day, Right?

Evangeline listened to the girl giggle and noticed her being a bit squirmy, as she talked but it didn't bother her any. It only made Evangeline smile to herself. She looked to Kiyana as she was processing what she had just told her, and it seemed to Evangeline she was forming some kind of conclusion as to what she was in her head. But she wasn't so sure until she came up with the choices of time traveler, Evangeline hadn't even thought of that one. Then came along Demi God? Which she had heard. Then bingo, Immortality. Evangeline looked down quickly, if that hadn't given it away she didn't know what else would.

As much as I wish I was a time traveler, no that's not the case." Evaneline laughes. "Immortal is what I am, but not by choice. At first I was happy, afterall I get to be young, and stay the age of twenty-two forever, never growing old. Sounds great right?" Evangeline's voice grew much softer. "After seeing most of my family die from a far and not getting to be with them kind of gets to you after a while.. I have great nieces that are older than me now. This immortality isn't normal but I have no other choice now but to accept it as my normal. It's why I can't be happy, because I can never have friends that last more than a few years. And I can never have anyone that's more than a friend because no one would accept it." Evangeline fiddled with her fingers, she couldn't bring herself to look at Kiyana. "Sorry I'm being a downer."

It seemed to Evangeline that Kiyana was indeed a great listener. Maybe that's what Evangeline needed all along someone that would listen to and understand her. In the minutes that she had known Kiyana, Kiyana had done just that. How had she opened up to someone she had only just met that easily, it wasn't like Evangeline, but she found that she really didn't care. She felt as if she could really trust this girl she had just met.

Evangeline listened to Kiyana as she told her not to be sorry for her "mopiness", and as she started to say she didn't understand why people would leave her because she's immortal. That wasn't the case though it was Evangeline herself was the one who left, because it was hard for her to bare. "You see, it's not like that. It's not them who left Kiyana... it was me who left." This time Evangeline didn't have a smile on her face at all, but her lips were in a straight line.

She looked up to see Kiyana smiling brightly at her and saying she would stick with her, because she had tons of years left and it made Evangeline give a small giggle. "I would like that.'' Evangeline threw one of her bright smiles back. Evangeline looked around, as cold as it was they should probably go inside somewhere to talk, if that's what Kiyana wanted. "Do you have any where particular you like to go when it's this cold?"

Evangeline was indeed a "teeter totter of emotions". She could go from being sad to happy just like that, it was a normal thing for her for the past few decades. She needed a new normal, because she found her extended life hard to enjoy anymore. She pushed that thought to the side, she need to be happier for her new friend, she didn't want her to see her moping around as she almost always did.

She listened as Kiyana said she could understand why she left her friends, and told her not to worry about hurting her feelings if she ever decided to leave. Would it have been this easy if she had told anyone else. No, they would have thought she was crazy. Evangeline listened to Kiyana say she was nervous that she wouldn't want her around? Why was she nervous? Evangeline should have been the nervous one. She laughed along with her when she said usually she went to her dorm room and surrounded herself with blankets and pillows, sounds like something Evangeline did often. Then Kiyana offered to go get something to eat. "That sounds like a great idea, I'm actually starving." She had skipped breakfast, so food sounded really appealing right now. Evangeline stood up, and offered Kiyana a hand and a small smile.

Evangeline found Kiyana really interesting , when she helped her up she heard her say thanks and Evangeline said a quiet "You're welcome." back. She followed after the girl after gathering up her stuff and blanket quickly, rolling it up and put it in her bag. Kiyana made Evangeline laugh to herself, her enthusiasm was contagious, and she was thankful for it. This was indeed a change , a good change.
