It's been weeks since he was not around, so being able to hear that is comforting.
Jonathan sat on the sketchbook quickly when Evelyn noticed it. Not that he was selfish with it, it's just that Jonathan never really lets anyone just look at his sketches. Same with the piano. He plays it alone and that was it. He grinned widely though, it was more of a defense mechanism of his "N-nothing... It's nothing" he said holding onto it.
Change the subject....
He tried thinking of something when he suddenly remembered and thankfully, he listened "I hear you're the new Hufflepuff prefect" he said. She could still correct him though, he might be mistaken her for someone else, right? But he did hear it correctly.... he thinks he did.
Seeing the smile disappearing on her face just made Jonathan look away. Yeah, no one was having a good summer right. And when she replied him with an answer, Jonathan wasn't still convinced she was fine. Everyone has their own story to tell but he doesn't expects her to just talk about. When the question was directed back to him, he once again dozed off. Leaving a long pause before answering.
Summer... was just a memory now, isn't it.
However, Jonathan shook his head to get back to reality and flashed her a smile "It was great" was that really the right term for it, great?
Evelyn frowned. Something was seriously wrong. He looked like he went through something horrible recently..uh. She was about to ask if he okay but she bit her lip from saying anything. Again, it was none of her business. Although, she gave him a comforting smile..if that helped.
Before she could stop herself, she laughed. Gosh. He was holding on it like she was going to steal it away from him.
"Don't worry..I'm not going to take your book away or something.." She turned away from him, hoping that her laughter would subside. Hm. Right. With a grin on her face, she looked at the book curiously.
"What is it though?" Or..was that a secret as well?
Hm?
"Nice change of subject." Yeah, she knew that he'd changed the subject on purpose to get her off his 'book'. She didn't mind though. Everyone had their own secrets.
"Yes. Yes, I am." Evelyn said, proudly. She didn't want to seem like she was showing off or something but yeah..she was definitely proud of herself.
Summer..Evelyn gave a small sigh. She was really glad that she didn't have to spend the next summer with her family. She got to go to Scotland and live with her Grandmother..so that made her cheer up a little. Yeah, it definitely looked like he didn't have a good summer either..especially when it took him a really long time to reply. Great..? Erm.
"That's..well..good." Evelyn was sure he didn't have a 'great' summer..but she wasn't nosy so refused to comment on that.
