Evelyn's Pov:

It's the first day of second grade, and overall i was feeling pretty good. I was walking down the hallway with little pink bows in my french braided hair, wearing a frilly sun dress, and had my pink sparkly backpack hanging loosely over my shoulders as i tried to find the locker with my name tag on it. i was walking past kids from my class and i realized they all had their parents with them... mine always told me they couldn't make it "because of work" in all honesty though, i was used to it by now.

once i reached my locker i grabbed out some supply's for class and put my backpack in my locker. when as i walked in the faint smell of crayons and cleaning supplies filled my nose as i looked around. there were a lot of colorful signs and motivational posters thrown around on the walls, and on the whiteboard, in big bright letters it read "Welcome to Mrs. K's second grade classroom!" and in slightly smaller letters under it, it said "please find and sit down in your assigned seats" so that's what i did.

the desks were separated into islands or groups of four, i spotted my purple laminated name tag as i walked over to my desk. i sat down in the plastic seat, my feet barley hitting the floor. when i looked to the desk next to mine i read "Lillian Wilson" on the pink name tag... so unfair. why did she get MY favorite color!?

i put my folders and pencil case in the desk as i watched more kids come into the classroom, some happy, and others shy or crying. babies. the girl sat in her desk next to mine and i turned to face her. "hi... my names lillian" she mumbled, i smiled, i liked her already. "well my names evelyn, but everyone calls me evie!" she finally smiled as she nodded. the other two kids sat down in front of us, but i didn't bother talking to them. they were already having their own conversation.

Mrs. K stood up from her desk and walked to the front of the classroom. she was young, mid 20's maybe? long brunette hair, and pretty blue eyes. "hello class, it's so good to see you all! you can call me Mrs. K or Mrs. Kim" she said happily before she grabbed a stack of papers and passed them out. she instructed us all to grab out colored pencils. "Since it's the first day, i just want you guys to socialize and get to know the people you're sitting with. i'll be at my desk if anyone needs help or whatnot" she smiled, we all said "yes Mrs. K" in unison and she went back to her desk and began typing away at her computer.

after a few minutes of awkward silence around our table i looked up from my coloring sheet to the desk in front of mine. i tried reading his name tag from upside down, all i got was "Matthew" i didn't even attempt to try his last name. when i looked up from the tag to look at him, he was already looking at me. i smiled at him.

Matt's Pov:

i looked up from my coloring page to look at the girl sitting in front of me. i noticed she had these little pink bows in her hair, and a smile on her face. i glanced away from her to my best friend, nate, who was sitting next to me. he was too busy coloring on a football sheet to notice me. i glanced back at her, smiling this time.

"i'm evelyn" she said cheerfully as she set down her crayon. "matt" i answered, setting my own crayon down as well. 

"what's your favorite color?" she asked... i thought the question was a bit strange but answered anyways. "blue... i'm assuming yours is...-" she cut me off "pink!" she said with a laugh.

ever since that first day of second grade, matt and evie had gotten very close. hanging out in school, at recess or at lunch, and as they got older they hung out outside of school too. she felt as if she could tell matt anything, and he felt the same way about her. all of her and matt's  friends, [Nick, Chris, Nate, and Lillian] all said they should "just date already!" but they just replied "we're only friends... nothing more"
