Chapter 2

Eve's pov

    "Wow", that's the first thing that came to my mind after I saw the person I collided with.

        And not to forget the fact that I'm still on the floor and she is standing there in front of me with a beautiful frown on her face. Beautiful frown! Seriously!

     "Hey im sorry, are you okay?" She waved her hand in front of me and that's when I realised that she was now kneeling in front of me.

     "I- I - im fine." I stuttered. This is the first time I stuttered in front of a girl cause I was so engrossed by her beauty that I failed to form a sentence.

     Are you doubting my sexuality? Don't worry. I'm doing that too.

     "No, you're not. Look you have twisted your leg." That's when I discover the condition I was in. I was still drooped on the floor with one ankle under my thighs and the other twisted in the opposite direction.

      "No, I'm good," I explained but she gave me a look that made me squirm. "we will see how good I am when I stand right." I quickly covered my lie.

    "That's right. Give me your hand." She stood up and extended me her hand. Which I took gladly.

     "Ouch! ouch! ouch!" I shivered in pain. My ankle is sprained I guess. And it's my first day at school. Why? How am I going to do this? Oh my God, I hope it's only sprained.

    "Looks like you are not fine." She commented sarcastically. I tossed her a look that made her shut up. "Okay, let me support you." She said while picking my arms and throwing them on her waist while she supported all my weight on her. Dude, she is so strong if she can support me. I thought to myself. I mean I'm not fat and all but still.

   She is definitely my girl crush. My girl crush number one.

      We limped to the nurse's room, I limped she walked with a hand on my waist.

       "You're the new admission?" Her voice was smooth and soft when she asked me, I just nodded.

     "Where did you reside before?" My ears perked in alarm. I didn't want to disclose my past life to anyone. But I felt like she can see through me if I lie. So I quickly mumbled that I'm from America. 

      It's a trick I've learned a long time ago. I don't give anyone my exact details. My past is something I'll always lie low on. It's a deal with myself.

      I could feel her eyes on the side of my face as I looked ahead and held her hand to balance my steps as the pain was growing more.

     "Sit down here. I'll get ms.Wilson." she helped me down on the bed and dashed out of the door.

     The nurse was not in the room? Wow. That's not weird at all.

    I glanced at my leg and saw it started swelling a little. The whole side of my feet was purple. It's okay though. I have endowed much worse.

     "Hi, there." A sweet voice came from the door I looked up to see a lady in her mid-thirties was standing there with a bright smile on her face, beside her was my girl crush, who pushed me and helped me later.

    As I looked at her now and the nurse they looked kind of heavenly to me. Their faces were glowing and their eyes were so beautiful. Like God took his time making them.

     "Hi," I muttered a quick hello since she was a stranger to me no matter how comforting her smile was I have to keep my guards up.

      "Let me look at what's wrong with you." She pushed away from the door and came towards my bed with the angel face hot on her heels.

     "I was walking and didn't look where I was going and totter upon her and she got injured." The angel face explained hurriedly.

    "You should be more careful while you are walking Emilia. The poor child here is paying for your mistake." Ms. Wilson scolded the angel face. Whose name is Emilia I guess?

       "I'm sorry." She apologized to me and I shook my head.

     "It wasn't your fault alone ms. Emilia. I was also not looking where I was heading." I assured her. Cause it's true I am also at fault here as well.

     "You see she is modest as well. Child, what's your name?" Ms.Wilson asked.

     "Evelyn, my name is Evelyn Regan." I smiled at her.

    "So little Eve. Your ankle is sprained I feel." She explained. "Don't worry I have the exact remedy for it." She moved from the bed to the cabinets on the wall. 

     As I get the time to check the room I saw it a big room. One-fourth of the room is filled with beds. There are other four beds excluding the one I'm sitting on right now. And there is a table with medical equipment on it at the end of the aisle. And big cabinets full of medicines and other things which I cannot recognize. 

      If the medical room is this modern I wonder what the whole school looks like.

     "So what classes do you have?" I came out of my admiration when Emilia asked me something.

    "Huh?" I asked.

  "I said what are the subjects you have taken for this year?" She asked again smiling softly like she is enjoying something.

    "I have English, biology, and math I guess." To be honest I can't even recall half of the things cause I'm starstruck by her beauty. Am I into girls? I asked myself.

     "Ohh, goodie. We've math together. So meet me at the cafeteria at the lunch hour and I'll introduce you to my friends then we can go to the class together." She clapped excitedly. I wonder if she is always this active.

      "Here you go." Ms. Wilson came back with a weird-looking bowl with her. "It's going to be a little painful though," I snickered under my breath. Nothing can be painful for me.

     "Hold on to my hand," Emilia said and took my hands in her, and closed her eyes tight. I laughed lowly at her reaction.

      "Do you feel any pain?" I looked at ms. Wilson and shook my head.

    "That's weird." She mumbled under her breath. "It's over." Announced a startled ms. Wilson with a shocked look at her face.

    "What?" Emilia polled. "She didn't even flinch." She accused.

    "I know. I'm also as shocked as you are." Ms. Wilson whispered. They were looking at each other like they are having a private conversation in each other's heads.

    I shook my head at thought of being screwed inside my head after I fell. I didn't even hit my head and I'm having such absurd thoughts.

     I took my bag and tried to stand on my injured leg which for some reason was not aching anymore. When I put my foot after the other I was stunned.

    "What did you do?" I asked alarmed.

      "What do you mean?" Ms. Wilson was bewildered by my reaction.

     "What did you do to my feet. How can I stand without a single ache? My ankle was killing me a few moments ago. So what did you do?" I asked hysterically.

    God, where am I? How can she give me something that will heal such a fatal injury? 

    Is she some witch? Does she know witchcraft? What's going on? I was out of my mind thinking about all the possibilities.

     "You fool." Emilia chuckled. "She is a medic, who knows all the kind of treatments not only with chemical science but also with nature as well." She explained further.

     "What do you mean?" I asked.

    "She is a very experienced person Eve. She devoted her life in the jungle to find the best medicines for humankind. That's why it takes her less than a minute to identify the problem with our body as well. " now that she explained I was stunned.

     "I. I'm so sorry. I don't know and I accused you of the help you provided." I apologized sincerely.

    "It's okay my child. I'm glad that you can sense things." She smiled but there was something hidden in the way she said the lined.

         I just nodded at her and smiled. I and Emilia left the room and I looked back to see she was frowning at something deep in thoughts.

     "I'll show you the dean's room," Emilia said while we were walking in the corridor.

    "You don't need to." I denied.

   "Let me. I troubled you and you are probably late for me. So let me make up for it. " I just nodded and she led the way with an arm around mine.

    "Look I'm sorry Eve. Can I call you Eve?" There she is back to her personality. I nodded. "I wasn't looking so I stumbled upon you."

    "It's okay. I was not looking as well." I said and then frowned.

 "But I saw no one was there on the corridor when I looked up, but all of a sudden you came and hit me." I was again confused.

     When I looked at her she was looking ahead. I don't know what's going on. Everything is so weird in this town.

    "Here you go." And in no time we were in front of the dean's office. "I'll see you in the cafeteria." She waved goodbye and ran. She ran like she was afraid something will happen if she slowed down.

     I shook my head and took a deep breath. Let's face the music then.

……………………………………………………………

     "Hey! here." I saw an excited Emilia waving her hands frantically as if she is n an island for me to see.

      I looked at the whole cafeteria has shifted its focus on me. I quickly ducked my head started advancing towards her.

      The cafeteria is big enough to fit all it's students here but as I look around I saw a half of them are sitting on each other.

     I mean the girls are sitting on the guys' laps making out like there is no tomorrow. I mean it's a place to eat food, not each other face. Typical school cafeteria.

     After I finished my classes I looked at where all the population of the school was heading and I found my way to the cafeteria. Cause it's a lunch hour. So here I am as Emilia asked me to do.

     "Hi." I waved at her when I was nearer and abruptly stopped a foot away from the table.

     Is there some kind of magazine shoot going on here or what?

     Why every one of them looks like they are some model. They all have the same glowing and perfect skin.

     Each one of them looked like they are some prince or princess. There were seven of them sitting at the table. Six of them sitting and one of them was sitting in a guy's lap who has his back to me.

     Each one of them looked back at me but the guy with the girl on his lap didn't. They were too busy doing what half of the population in this cafeteria is doing. Yes. Eating each other faces. But from the guy's back looked so taut I doubt any teenage boy has that body.

      "Guys meet my new friend. Evelyn Regan." Emilia came forward and introduced me.

     "Eve meet my friends." She said to me. "That's my best friend Sarika." A girl with beautiful bronze hair and greyish eyes, who waved and smiled at me and I smiled back. 

     "Hey, Sarika." I wished. Then she moved to the other one.

    "Then that is Ashton Sarika's boyfriend." A bulky guy with a chiseled face and straight nose was sitting beside Sarika he smiled at me and said a quick welcome to the pack. That made everyone froze.

     The guy who had a girl on his lap glared at him. And I saw his side profile which was so symmetrical and so sleek that I double-checked. Wow, I look like a kangaroo from the side and he gets to look like that. So fair you are God.

     "Chill dude, I was just welcoming her to this table which I call pack fondly." Everybody relaxed and I frowned at them. Was there some riddle?

     "Anyways ignore him. That's my brother, Leonel." I looked at the guy who was sitting just beside the rude inappropriate boy and locked.

    Oh, my God.  Is he even for real? He is so beautiful. I mean so so beautiful. His eyes were a beautiful shade of sky blue and his hair was messy talking all over his forehead made him look so boyish.

      He smiled at me and I blinked rapidly. Is that guy smiling at me? Old boring me. Shut up, Eve. He is being formal cause his sister introduced him. So I just smiled back and quickly looked away.

     Oh, how I wished I didn't. Rude guys and lap girl are at it again. I might have puked if Emilia's voice didn't get my attention.

    "That's our boy James." The said boy smiled and I smiled back. He has the cutest dimple I've seen in my life.  He makes me want to squeeze his cheeks.

      Wait where did that come from? They are still strangers, don't get ahead of your self Eve.

   "Hey, they're beautiful," James mumbled. I looked at him with a blush creeping my cheeks and he laughed.

    Wait where did that come from? They are still strangers, don't get ahead of your self Eve.

     Emilia took my plate and set it on the side of the table where Ashton and Sarika were sitting and sat down. 

    I stood there awkwardly cause I didn't want to sit in front of the rude guy but I didn't want to sit beside James as well.

     When Emilia patted the seat next to her I hesitantly walked there and sat down.

     I tried my best to not look up and face the R-rated movie but failed. When I looked up I saw they hadn't parted yet.

    "That's Danzel, my brother's best friend and my on and off friend." Emilia scrunched her nose while she was introducing me to the guy in front of me.

     "Danzel stop it. You are making her embarrassed." An authoritative voice came from beside the Danzel guy and I looked to saw Leonel was looking at me with a smile on his face.

     His lips were so pink and so beautiful. He had a dimple on his right cheek. Ohh I take it back to what I said earlier about James. Lionel has the cutest dimple I've ever seen.

     "What did I do?!" I whipped my head to look for the source of the sexy and husky voice. That voice made me shiver and my heart fluttered. And found..ooo.uuuuu.

     Wow.Danzel. wow..
