Eva stepped up the pathway and took in the new surroundings that would now be her new school, during the last year of her school journey. She took a deep breath and gripped her bag tightly to her chest. “Name?” Eva stopped and looked at the tall figure blocking the doorway. He was huge, over six feet and had a clipboard in his hands. “Eva Smith,” she stated and the man glanced at her for a second before turning back to his clipboard. He grunted when he found her name and allowed her to enter. “This is your class schedule. She will show you where you need to be.” He handed Eva the information that she needed and pointed to a girl opposite. The girl was wearing a name tag which read Nessie. Eva noticed that she was a pretty girl with glasses and probably a bit of a nerd. She was dressed in a smart white shirt with a black tie that matched her black skirt and tights. Her shoes looked hideous to Eva but she didn't say a word about that. “Hi Eva. Welcome to our school. I will show
Eva was in so much trouble. Her father was going to be so furious when he found out about this. Not that Eva blamed him. She was annoyed at herself for letting someone tear her down and make her lose her temper on the first day at her new school. Tina was going to have a field day since she already hated having her stepdaughter living in her home. She would probably kick her to the curb if we had her way. Eva was sitting in the office waiting to be called in to see the head. Megan was opposite her and throwing a dagger looking her way. They were both silents. The door opened and the head teacher appeared. He did not look too impressed at the sight of the two girls in front of him.“What's the meaning of this?” he demanded to know. “It was my fault, sir,” Megan said through fake crocodile tears. Eva frowned wondering what she was up to. “I walked into her and in apologised but she lost her temper and attacked me.” Megan wept. Eva could not believe the nerve of this girl. She had
Tina was fuming when she found out that Eva had been sent home early for fighting. She hated the fact that this would be a bad influence on her twins. They had always been so well behaved and Tina could see how happy that they were to finally have their big sister with them. “Do you think this is funny?” She shouted at Tim and glanced at the clock to notice it was almost time to pick up the twins. Tim shrugged his shoulder and stirred his coffee like it was no big deal at all. Eva did not like the way that her stepmother had a huge problem with her being in their home. She wanted to make an effort. “I will come along with you to pick up the twins?” Eva suggested but the look of horror on Tina’s face made her stifle a laughter. Tim was certain that she needed to just lighten up a little, she was far to Snobby sometimes. “No. I can manage.” She grumbled before stomping off to the car. She did not even say bye but Tim was not fussed about her right now. He would have words with his
Eva sat on her bed and quietly stared at the wall where she had placed so many photographs of her childhood with her mother. Both of them happy and smiling. Eva felt her eyes begin to well up with tears as she looked at the photo, remembering the good times. Why had her mother had to leave her?She missed her so much. Wiping her wet cheeks with the palm of her hands, Eva picked up her phone from the bedside unit and frowned at the unknown caller id. She decided to ignore it but a few seconds later, it came up again. Whoever was ringing certainly did not give up so easily. Feeling slightly irritated, Eva picked up the phone and said hello. Nothing. “Who is this?” she sighed, not in the mood to be messed about. “Eva?” She froze at the sound of the familiar female voice on the other end of the phone.Lara. She sounded really upset but then Eva wondered why should she care since her so-called best friend had stolen her boyfriend and ruined her trust. Who does that? “What the he
“Tina, I would suggest that you go back downstairs right now.” Tim stood up and pointed towards his sneering wife. Eva was astonished by her father's firm and demanding tone of voice. “You need to tell that girl the truth. Her mother was nothing special anyway.” Tina glared at Eva with so much hatred in her eyes that Eva was speechless. Tim watched as his wife walked away slamming the door behind her. Who did she be that she was? Tim was beginning to really regret ever getting with this crazy woman. She had always been jealous of Eva's Mother. Turning back towards his daughter he noted how worried she had become. “It's ok, Eva. She won't hurt you. She's just upset.” Tim said trying his best to reassure her. He knew that Tina would have told Eva the truth if he had not stopped her right there and then. He realised that he could not keep it a secret any longer. He needed to tell his daughter the truth. No more lying. No more secrets. “Eva, lets go for a drive. I think we need
The beep of a car horn forced Eva back to reality with a huge thud. “Watch where you're going stupid girl.” The driver shouted angrily out the window as he drive on by. Eva sighed and looked around her. She was in the town centre now. It was not so busy since it was quite late in the early evening now. She wiped her face and pulled her jacket over her more as it was getting slightly colder now. Remembering that she had her phone in the pocket of her jeans and looked at it to see no new notifications. That meant that they were still too busy arguing to notice that she had left. Eva hoped that Millie and Eddie were ok. It could not be very nice for them to have their parents argue and disagree like they were doing. She knew that it would be a strange adjustment for the little ones to have their big sister come to live with them. Spotting a small case across the road, she decided to go on there for a hot drink and to sit so she could calm down and gather her thoughts. Nobody wou
Tim was furious when he discovered that Eva had disappeared. “This is all your fault.” he turned on Tina and shouted. She smirked, reapplying her lipstick and feeling satisfied that the girl had gone. She hoped that Eva would not come back anytime soon, or at all if she were that lucky. “Maybe you will remember you have a family now. That bitch was never worthy of you anyway.” Tina spat. Tim could not believe what he was hearing. She was so spiteful. How did he ever agree to marry her! “Daddy, is our sister ok?” Millie tugged at her fathers sleeve and looked up at him with wide eyes. Tim softened at the sight of her. He bent down to pick Millie up. Tina ignored them and walked to the garden with a glass of wine. She disgusted Tim. She was not who he had thought her to be. Not at all. Stroking the hair from his daughter's face, he smiled and nodded. It was hard for him to not get so emotional since he wanted to go out there and find his girl. She could be anywher
Eva burst out laughing and the faces of the two men in front of her looked surprised. Mitchell opened his mouth to say something but then closed it again and sighed. “Eva, you don't know, do you?” Eva had no idea what he was talking about but she was certain that they were attempting to prank her. She rolled her eyes and pushed her empty plate and cup into the middle of the table. She scraped the chair back and went to get up. The tall, handsome stranger stood in the way but did not say a word. Instead, he just kept his eyes on her. Like he was possessed. Eva was beginning to feel a little uneasy as she just wanted to go home. This was a bit strange for her. “Eva.” the stranger suddenly whispered her name huskily. He liked the sound of her name on his lips and she smelt so good. He wanted to find her in his arms but something was stopping him, she seemed unaware of what he was. Of what they all were. He could not understand how he had never seen this girl before, she was br
