A Surprising Encounter

“Monkeys would be ashamed to be called your ancestors.” The voice crowed behind her as if proud of his statement


Evie raised her eyebrows and slowly turned around “I beg your pardon?”


Hunter Ryan stood there, grinning to himself


“Aren’t you a little too old to be saying stupid stuff like that?” Evie asked


“The only person here that’s stupid is you Ervine.”


“My name is Evie.”


“Yeah sure. Evan.”


Evie shook her head “Why are you mad at me this time?”


“Your dad still hasn’t payed my dad for that job he did on y’all’s car.”


“We don’t have a car.” Evie made a face


Hunter frowned and then nodded “my older sister just took an ancestry test and found out we’re 6% west african. I demand reparations.”


Evie raised her eyebrows again “I’m half black.” She stated as if he was crazy


“Yeah, your other half has to pay it.”


“My white half is busy paying reparations to my black half.” Evie said sarcastically


Hunter stuck his hands in his pocket “Well just for the record I think you are an ugly stuck up piece of-“


“I’ll stop you right there before you say something you’d regret.” Evie said and looked around the grocery store where they were arguing

“If you walked up to me to insult me, I’ll continue on my day.”


Hunter looked smug “I actually have something worthwhile do say.”


“Do you?”


Hunter lowered his ego for only a moment “my little sister is struggling with her homework and I need you to help her.”


“What makes me think I would help you?” Evie asked


“Because you’re a good person.” Hunter rolled his eyes


“How much you paying me?”


“Nothing.”


“How did you conclude on me being the right one for the job.”


“I’ve watched you in school. You get the best grades in our class, and have done so since I don’t know… preschool?”


“Alright I’ll do it.” Evie said surprising herself “on one condition.”


“What is it?”



The end. I don’t have any idea what the condition is. I don’t really even like this lol.
