Chapter 19

**Evie's POV**

When I got home from that mini vacation we had, I texted Daniel almost immediately, excited for the memories we are going to start sharing.

He however didn't reply and for the rest of the night he wasn't active.

I tried calling but he still wasn't responding. I was actually worried.

I don't know why but I was.

I eventually fell asleep holding my phone to my chest, waiting for Dan's call.

***

The next morning, I got ready as fast as I could as I was very excited and also worried because the boys messaged me to ask about Daniel as he wasn't responding to any of their calls since last night also.

I got to school and still I didn't spot anyone that looked like my man.

Did he fall sick, Is he having some sort of sea sickness perhaps?

I wondered.

My Gang arrived to school and we discussed a little about what had happened on the ship as we waited for Daniel to arrive.

However, when the bell was rung for first period, there was no sign of Daniel.

Throughout the first five periods, I was restless, worried about Dan.

When Lunch break came, I asked Tesla if she had seen Daniel or talked to him but the stupid ass girl is such a smooth liar, she said they had a video call last night.

We all knew she didn't though because we called the ass out of this worrisome boy.

We all decided to go visit him after school ended and we did just that.

With Cornelius' chauffeur, we arrived at Dan's house but the security would not let us in, we even asked him to inform him that we were outside but he refused bluntly. He eventually told us that Daniel was sick or something but I know it was a very fat lie.

We kind of became suspicious that it was because what happened on the ship which meant Daniel was probably in trouble.

We all left as we got dropped off at our various houses, Tiana decided to stay at my house a little before she headed home.

"Do you think you made a wrong decision?" Tiana asked as she helped me combed my hair. She sat on my bed while I sat on the fluffy black rug on the floor.

"To date Daniel?" I asked, unsure of what she meant.

"To marry him! Like you just met in like a week or something and you're planning to get married. I am worried about Daniel , not gonna lie but I feel it's only right for his parents to react that way. He is basically a walking red flag"

"What do you mean a red flag? Daniel is nice for real and he's been really accommodative to you guys so why you saying all this shit?" I was starting to get riled up.

"Chill, Evie. I'm just saying no guy meets you in like a week and proposes. He's too nice even, he seems too perfect for real" Tiana said, as she continued to comb out my long hair that was tangled because of my choice of hairstyle.

"So being perfect is a sin too? Tiana really?"

"It's not. That's not what I meant. He seems to perfect on the surface which means people like that have something to hide and he looks too good to be true. It almost like he came out of a fairytale and this world ain't no fairytale," Tiana added.

"Trust me, I'd know if all this was a facade. I might look naive but I'm not blind, I swear and besides Tia, why you talking like you jealous. You should finally be happy for me, after all this years that I've kept to myself fighting my traumas, should you not finally be satisfied that I'm opening up?"

"I'm sorry, Evie. Don't mind me, I apologize if I sounded irrational but I'm just looking out for a friend, okay?"

"Fine, let's not talk about it anymore, okay?" I said waiting for her to agree.

"Sure" and that was all she said.

Even if Daniel had proposed that same day we met I wouldn't even mind, for real.

That was how obsessed I was with him.

The last thing I need right now is someone telling me to consider leaving Dan. That's something that can put you in my bad books but because Tia is like family, she could be forgiven.

**Tiana's POV**

To be honest, I feel like I'm going Delusional especially when Daniel proposed to Evie on that ship.

Proposed? How?

We are still in high school and we don't know what our lives hold in uni and here they are proposing to each other in barely than a week.

It was not only suspicious but implausible.

I looked out for Evie ever since she stepped her leg in Crown school. She looked naive and innocent, hardly raises her voice at voice to any mistreatment. I made sure I had her under my wings and that was when the boys came in the picture.

I deeply care about Evie, I don't know if she sees it but I was worried.

It wouldn't really be shocking if Daniel had proposed to her because I guess it meant that he liked her that much or something but because Evie said yes.

Until now, I'm not sure I have been able to get over the shock. Daniel being like that to her, being all nice and caring, meant that he harbored terrible thoughts about her.

As a normal human being with no mental disorder, you wouldn't think that way of marrying somebody under a week you met and that person saying yes to the proposal.

It was a very fascinating experience.

Eventually I combed out the tangled hair and I packed up my stuffs because I was damn moody and I didn't want Evie to notice that.

I was too worried about her because she was too gullible, I hope she realizes before it's too late though.

With that thought in mind I bided her goodbye hoping to see if I could gain audience with Daniel tomorrow.

Talk some sense into him maybe.
