Even If He Wanted To

Heya! Everyone! Okay lets get right down to business. 

wolfluv- I'm glad you like the chapter! It's one of my favorites also. 

Lisa- I am really loving that you guys like the chapter. lol. Rhys will find himself ruining a lot of Evan and Ian moments. As for Ian and Rhys friendship it has always been just that and will never be anything else. Their friendship and how it started will be explained more in the later chapters, as time goes on. I haven't explained the reason for Evan limp. I will though I just haven't decided if it will be in this installment or the next one. 

Lots of love to my editor. She's amazing! 

Thank all of you guys for all your support!  

Here's Chapter 7 

-ENJOY!

Chapter 7 

Rhys was shocked when the door opened to find Ian glaring at him. 

"You have bad timing." 

"What? You said eleven, and I'm technically fashionably late considering... it's like eleven thirty." 

"All I needed was thirty more minutes but today you want to be fashionably late, instead of just late." 

"Come on you can't stay mad at me. I brought breakfast." Rhys smiled "Coffee and doughnuts from Ann's, how could you be mad at me." Rhys had the nerve to pout. 

"Thirty more fucking minutes." Ian muttered smiling. "Come on you idiot." 

"Where do you want me?" Rhys asked. 

"We can eat and go over everything in the kitchen." 

"Sounds good me." Rhys nearly bounced down the hallway.  

"I didn't know where you wanted me to go.” Evan was standing awkwardly in the middle of the hall looking like he was ready to bolt at any minute. 

"Hey short stop," Rhys said excitedly. "What'd you do, run here your faces is as red as a stop sign," he spoke as he passed Evan on the way to the kitchen. 

'No wonder he needed thirty more minutes’ Rhys thought. 

"Don't speak to me unless it's for the project," Evan muttered, "We're not friends and we don't even like each other so let's not pretend we do." 

"I never said I don't like you and if this is still about what happen the other week I said I was sorry. Get over it." 

Get over it? Evan thought. All thought of Ian flew out the window; it was just that quick for him to get mad at Rhys. What was it about this kid that pissed Evan off so much? 

"Oh I'm sorry Rhys, it's too early in the morning for me to kiss your ass, why don't you try around noon and we can talk." Evan smiled at him 

"Would you like that Evie for me to bend over for you so you could-." 

"OKAY! That’s enough guys we just need to make it through this project, do the two of you think you could do that?" 

"Yes," Evan sighed "I apologize." he said looking at Ian. 

'What the hell? Rhys thought. 

"Don't apologize, its fine. I just want to get this stupid project done so we can focus on other things." Ian smiled with his hand on Evan’s chin tilting his head back so they were looking in each other's eyes. 

"Oh," Evan blushed again. "Yeah," he said looking away from Ian. 

'What the hell was that? Who knew he could be bashful?' 

"Yeah." Rhys agreed starting to get uncomfortable with the affectionate couple in the room. 

"Good, so when I talked to Evan on the phone yesterday he suggested that we build a brain for our project." 

"I thought Mr. Smith said poster board." Rhys interjected. 

"He always says poster board." Evan pointed out. 

"Because that's what he wants." 

"No, he says that because it's the easiest thing to do." 

"Ok, what's your point?" Rhys asked. 

"My point is that, Mr. Smith always says poster board, I mean like for everything. But he almost never gives homework; he doesn't give quizzes and hardly gives test. So basically our grades are made up of class work and projects." 

"Still not getting your point." Rhys shrugged. 

"The point is that when he gives you a project, he always gives you the option to take the easy way out but he would prefer that you didn't." 

"Or maybe he's not playing mind tricks and wants a fucking poster board." Rhys was starting to get angry. He hated how Evan assumed to know everything, as if he had life figured out. 

"No, you idiot," Evan yelled turning to Ian "How many A's have you gotten on projects in Smith's class?" He asked Ian. 

Opening his mouth and closing it thinking "None." Ian finally answered. 

"Exactly," Evan stated pointing at Ian. "I am the only one in Mr. Smith classes who is ever able to get a 100 because I know what he wants. Just because he gives you the option doesn't mean he wants you to take." Evan pointed out. 

"Wait, you mean to tell me that's how you get good grades in his class by doing extra work?" Ian asked.  

"Yeah that's how I do it." Evan shrugged. 

"Wow." Ian breath with an awed look on his face it was just that simple. 

"So? We’re building a brain?" Rhys asked if was clear to see he was quickly being out numbered. 

"Yep." Evan smiled victoriously. 

"Ok," Ian smiled. "Who wants to make the list of materials?" It was clear to Rhys in that moment that Evan was always going to be a constant thorn in his ass, and a reoccurring headache.
