Chapter 5

“Hey Hailey, hey babe!” Victor said.

Mostly, everyone knew Hailey because she is one of the sweetest people here. You can trust her with anything. She gives friendly vibes to everyone, which attracts them towards her. But because of her down-to-earth and not so slutty attitude, she isn’t in the IT group.

“Hey, Victor,” Evy said flatly.

“I see you know my name,” he smirked.

“Well, I always keep track of people who are on my hate list,” she said innocently. Hailey was trying to muffle her laugh with her hand.

“Ouch! That hurts.” He faked his hurt tone and kept his hand on his heart. She doubts if he even has a heart.

“And I care because?” Evy raises her eyebrows.

“Who wouldn’t care about me? Just look at me.” He didn’t know how dumb he sounded right now.

“Whatever!”

“At least tell me your name?”

“Well, just say I am your worst nightmare.”

Ms. Rose interrupted their little talk. She is their literature professor. Evy was thankful that this school doesn’t have the introduction of a new student. Yes, here the class starts directly. After five minutes, there was a VIP entry of one of the most egoistic and arrogant jocks.

“May I come in?”

“Edward, you are five minutes late. But as it is the start of the New Year, I would spare you from detention. But don’t you repeat it again,”

“Thank you, Ms. Rose.” He came inside and stopped. He was looking for an empty seat in the class. And soon, his eyes met hers. Evy didn’t want to flash any kind of emotion, so she rolled her eyes and ignored him. After a few seconds, he went towards the back and sat beside one of the biggest bitches in this school, Madeline.

Edwards looked the same as before. She can bet you that he is the same arrogant jerk.

The following three lectures went smoothly, and soon it was lunchtime. Yay! For her, as she just loves eating. Unlike other schools in town, their canteen provides really good food.

Edward was stopped dead in his tracks when he saw those familiar green emerald eyes. When her eyes met his, he could see the hatred in them. The next three lectures were torture for him. Not because of the teachers, but because his mind was filled with thoughts. Not once she glanced his way.

Finally, the bell rang, and she left the class. Eddy wanted to chase behind her, but he was stopped by none other than Madeline. She is very irritating and clingy. He doesn’t even know why he stands her. She was the biggest mistake of his life.

Evy and Hailey sat at one of the tables in the canteen. She wasn’t a loner in this school. For the past year, she had been part of a group in which there were all kinds of people—geeks, nerds, emo, etc. And actually, Evy finds it cool. She thinks a person should befriend a variety of people instead of hanging out with one type of person.

Evy was informing Hailey about her life back at her old school. During the whole three classes, they had been chatting like a maniac. She really wished Max was here. Max is her best friend from another school. He was his strength there. He is the only reason why Evy can face these monsters.
