He didn't even hear anybody coming, so when someone was suddenly calling out his own name he jumped.
A girl's voice, and he didn't know many girls, but when he turned and saw the girl coming up he drew a complete blank. She was blond and she was pretty and he didn't know a whole lot of pretty blond people.
He blinked when she introduced herself. "You're Evie? What you...oh!" Surprise made his mouth drop open, and he straightened from where he'd been leaning against the wall. "Oh, from...from that book. Right?" The one who wrote a lot of things to him and wasn't mean once.
The one who was nice to him.
He felt his face heating up. What did blokes say to girls who were nice to them? He had no bloody clue.
