Chapter 4

Eddy met his friends in the boy’s common room. Yes! They have separate rooms for boys where all the lockers are furnished. There is no entry for girls there.

Over there, every single male species was talking about the new chick, but not a single person knew her name. Strange!

Evy went towards the girls’ common room to get her books for her first lecture. She was about to step in when her breath hitched. In front of her was her best girlfriend, Hailey. She was standing in all her glory looking at Evy’s old locker. She could see how much Hailey missed her and was missing her now.

“Looking at my old locker would not bring me back, Hails,” Evy smirked, to which Hailey turned around.

“Evy,” she said with a shocking expression on her face.

They both ran towards each other and gave one another one of their bone-crushing hugs. You might be thinking this is such a Lesbos move, but, hey! She is her female soul mate. They have both been through hell together.

“Oh my god! I still can’t believe you are here.”

“Well, there is one way to make you believe,” Evy smirked and pinched her cheek.

“Ouch!” She rubbed her cheek. “Okay, I believe it now.”

They were both laughing and hugging. Hailey is a bit shorter than Evy. She is 5’3 whereas Evy is 5’5. She is not too skinny, but not fat either. She is pretty and cute. She is not like other girls who love to expose and wear slutty clothes.

“You look so pretty. The past year has been good for you,” she exclaimed.

“I won’t argue about that. I hope I have not been replaced.” Evy said.

“I miss you, Evy. Nothing was the same without you. I did make a few friends, but no one was special enough to take your place.”

“I missed you too, and I made a best friend there...” Her face fell.

“But you know I would call him my second-best friend. No one will ever take your position.” She hugged her.

The bell soon interrupted their conversation. It was the signal for their first lecture. Here in Woodstock, there are three bell systems. The first bell is significant for them to make their way towards the class. The second bell is a warning bell that rings after five minutes, and the third is the second warning bell, which indicates that you might get a detention slip if you are not in class.

Cool right!

On their way to class, the girls compared their schedules, and they both were ecstatic to find out that both of them had the same lectures. As the girls entered the class, everyone stopped doing their thing. They were all staring at Evy and giving her curious glances. Ignoring them all, she sat on the bench with Hailey.

“Wow! Evy. You have changed. I mean, you are finally your true self with everyone out there.”

“It is time for me to get out of my shell, Hails. You know, there is so much I have to tell you about.”

But Evy was interrupted by one of the popular and most arrogant jocks.
