What do you think about karma? Do you believe it? Or is it just a myth? This story is one of the ways to find out. This is a story about two teenage best friends. It’s not your basic cliche love story, but it’s a romantic book that will have a bit of spice with a sweet flavor.
View MoreIt has been a year since Evy has visited her hometown. She would be lying if she said that she did not miss it. Her parents live here, and she had spent her entire childhood in this very place. So yes, she definitely missed it. She has lots of lovely yet painful memories here.
One thing that Evy didn’t miss was her school; ‘THE WOODSTOCK HIGH SCHOOL.’
It is a private school.
If you are in the ‘IT’ crowd, you will be in love with this place, but if not, you will dread every minute of it. Especially when you are associated with any of the popular kids, but ‘you are not fit to talk to them.’ However, if you are lucky and do not have any contact with the jocks and Barbie’s here, you can live your life peacefully.
Well, you might guess who exactly Evy is?
Evy is short for Evelyn Brook. She is your regular seventeen-year-old teen. She is the only daughter of her parents and, like every other daughter, she is a daddy’s girl and shares a special bond with her mom. They are not extravagantly rich, nor are they poor. Her parents have enough to satisfy her needs.
‘It feels good to be back here after a year.’ She thought when she entered her hometown. Everything here is pretty much the same. Nothing has changed. And hey! She is not complaining. She likes this place as it is. Woodstock is really beautiful.
Unlike all those years, she is pretty excited about starting her senior year here because it is going to be filled with surprises. The people there in the school are going to be so shocked. Not a single person would have imagined that she would return to this place after what they all did to her.
Now you might think why she came back as these people clearly despise her?
She didn’t want to, but she only stepped into this place because of her parents. They missed her, and she couldn’t say no to them. She is not that selfish. And to be honest, those losers don’t scare her anymore.
During this one year, she learned lots of things that people will see with time.
In fact, now those people here will regret it if they mess with her. Well, Evy doesn’t have the personality of a typical bitch who likes to make everyone’s life miserable. But yes, if someone crosses his or her line, she won’t stand quietly and wait for those words to get to her. Instead, she will stand up for herself.
Evy knows that she is not labeled as hot or sexy, but she also knows that she is not bad-looking as her fellow students had made her believe. In all honesty, these tags are all big bullshit that people have started to live on. But she also knew for the fact that she was pretty enough for a boy to date her. Evy can say that because, in her past school, many boys asked her out. In fact, she loves her old school. There every minute she enjoyed, unlike in this school where she was living with fear every minute of it.
At present she was standing in front of her school. Initially, she used to hate stepping into that building, but not anymore. There have been lots of changes in the past year not.
She has the same personality and qualities as before. It’s just that she has built up more confidence in her. She even lost some weight and built up stamina. She has become a more outspoken person who can stand up for her own self.
She still remembers the day when she left this place. It still stings her heart and brings tears to her eyes. But no! That innocent, weak Evelyn Brook is no more. She is gone for good now.
This is the new Evelyn Brook, with whom no one can mess. In fact, she won’t let those Jocks and Barbie’s bully any innocent kids anymore. She can’t let anyone suffer the same emotions as her. Evy knows for a fact that she alone can’t make a difference in this crazy society, but at least she can try.
As you all know, it’s going to shock her fellow mates at her school to see her again. But one person will be beyond shocked as his actions were the ones that forced her to leave this place. Because of him, Evy had to get her act together and start fresh. In a way, she is thankful to him for doing what he did and showing her his true colors. But he has no clue what is coming for him.
Evy knows that he thinks she is the same old person who will forgive him easily, like always, if he asks for forgiveness. That is, if he is nice enough to ask for it. Oh yes! That is how much of a jerk he has become. And knowing him, he will definitely ask for an apology because that’s what he always does.
He simply says ‘sorry’ to her.
SORRY one word, five letters. The simple word sorry. Evy has heard it so many times now that she hates this word because no one means it when they use it.
But not anymore. Evy does not indicate that she has planned something evil for him, bringing his status down or something. In fact, she is going to go with the flow. She is not that brutal to get her ex-best friend down.
She has no clue what is ahead waiting for her, but one thing she knows is that Karma is a bitch. Karma gets you back. You just need to believe in it and move on. Try not to take matters into your own hand if unnecessary. Just leave it to Karma. It has its way of dealing with things.
So Evy left everything to Karma and took a deep breath, and entered Woodstock high school.
It’s been a year since Eddy has seen her. He still regrets everything he has done to her. He still remembers each and every moment he has spent with her. He thought about calling her back.
Heck! he even dialed her number numerous times, but he didn’t have the nerve to call her after what he did to her. But one thing is for sure; if he gets a chance to meet her, she will forgive him instantly because that’s who she is. His best friend. But he doesn’t know if he can call her that now.
Well, today is their first day of senior year at Woodstock High, although he is pretty excited about it. But without her, it doesn’t feel the same.
Enough about his best friend. Well, Eddy is short for Edward Loraine, the 17-year-old quarterback of the football team of Woodstock high. Yes, you would have guessed that he is popular, and yes, he is also called a so-called player, and that’s only because he flirts a lot. And why wouldn’t he be as he is a jock with good looks and girls just love him, and the boys want to be like him. He also has good grades, so that’s a bonus. Eddy knows that he is arrogant, but hey! Attitude builds up as your popularity increases.
Unlike other people, he loves going to school as he gets all the attention. So yes, he enjoys being the jock of this school. It has its perks, but at the same time, he regrets it. That is because of this popularity; he has lost his best friends. He has tons of friends and knows that they are all fake, but one of them is his loyal friend. His name is Carson. He is the only one now with whom he can be his true self. Maybe that’s because during this year, Carson has changed a lot and why wouldn’t? He had a reason to change; his girlfriend, Kayla.
Well, today, everyone is excited about coming to school. Every boy hopes to see a new girl student, and every girl hopes to see a new boy student, and guess what? Yes, this year they do have two new students in his batch: a boy and a girl. To be honest, he doesn’t care, but for some odd reason, he really wishes that the new girl should be the one who used to be his buddy.
Eddy doesn’t even know what he will tell her if she came in front of him. He has no clue how he will react. He knows some people might dread Karma. As they think, Karma is a bitch.
But he doesn’t believe in it. He knows that what he did to her was wrong, but she will accept him if he asks for an apology. So how will Karma get back to him? The saying is bullshit. It’s just a myth that people believe. If you make a mistake, just apologize and take the corrective measures, and your job is done. So how will Karma get back to you? Well, that’s a mystery to him.
This year he has an instinct that lots of surprising stuff are going to take place. It’s like he should expect unexpected things for himself.
Well, let’s see. Only time will tell.
Hopes up and fingers crossed.
He took a deep breath and asked for his new schedule. Let the new senior year begin.
As time passed by, everything got normal. As normal as it could have been with time. Evy and Eddy didn’t directly start with a relationship like shown in movies where lead stars kiss and make up. They took things one at a time. They decided to take baby steps, took their own sweet time, and enjoyed their moments of patching things up. They built their past relationship by being best friends again. Evy slowly and steadily started to trust Eddy back again. It didn’t take much time as she thought it would have taken. She was content and at peace with how things were going. Eddy thought it might be a bit slower, but he knew for the fact that it was necessary. He and Evy both needed time to understand each other and also the dynamics of their relationship. All three, Hailey, Evy, and Eddy, caught up on old times and filled the missing gaps, and Owen, Carson, and Kayla also accompanied them. It didn’t take long for Eddy and Evy to become best friends again. Yes, initially Evy was a bit care
After the break, Evy tried searching for Eddy, but she could not find him, and when she did, he rushed to get away from her. He was avoiding her. It seems that the tables have turned now. Finally, after school got over, she rushed towards the road where he was walking home to catch up with him. But no luck. He soon disappeared from her eyes. While walking, she was carefully glancing around to get a glimpse of him. Finally, she saw him sitting on the swing in the park where they once used to play when they were kids. They had wonderful memories of their childhood, where there was no peer pressure. They were just kids who enjoyed playing with each other. The only stress they had was completing their homework and getting enough space to have fun and what games to play with each other. Eddy was lost in his thoughts when suddenly Evy came out of the blue. He noticed that she was trying to talk to him, but he thought of it as his illusion. “Why didn’t you drag me to an empty room to ask m
Both Evy and Eddy skipped school the next day. But both of them knew that they would have to face each other soon. Evelyn didn’t know what to tell Eddy when she met him, and whereas Eddy was concerned, he knew that he wouldn’t be able to handle rejection from her. The next day, both their friends forced them to go to school. In the morning, Mrs. Natalia called Evy into the staff room to talk to her. “Evy, stop hurting yourself.” She said when she saw Evy in a disheveled shape. “Hailey and Owen told me everything. They are concerned about you." “What should I do?” Evy asked, clearly desperate to know the answer. “Just follow your heart.” Mrs. Natalia said. “I did that before and see where it had led me.” “Evy dear, everything happens for a reason. You need to let go of your past with him. The heart will lead you to difficult situations where it will ache and break, but it is never wrong.” Mrs. Natalia’s words were stuck in Evy’s mind. During the break, Evy finally saw Eddy and co
After the incident on the day of the carnival, she ignored Eddy’s call. It was the weekend, and she locked herself in the room. Luckily, her parents were out for a meeting, so it gave her a chance to be alone. She even ignored Haley, Owen, Carson, and Kayla’s calls. There were many missed calls from all five of them. She texted them to leave her alone and kept her phone on silent. They even tried to come to her house, but no luck for them because she didn’t open the door. She knew what they would tell her when she would unfold the complete story. Soon it was Monday, and she would have to face reality. She reached school but signalled them instantly to not ask her about anything, much to their displeasure. But her four friends already knew the whole story as they made Eddy tell them. Eddy was already getting impatient, and the sudden presence of four of them made him blurt out the incident that happened in front of her house. None of them knew how to help him to get him out of the com
Finally, the day came. The biggest carnival was organized by the ‘Woodstock High School’ cultural team. Unlike all those years in the past, this year it was a hit. People were enjoying it. “You guys did an outstanding job,” Eddy told Evy, Owen, and Hailey. All three acknowledged his appraisal. “Let’s enjoy this carnival. I want to play games and even want to go on rides.” Kayla exclaimed excitedly. “Of course, Kay. So, shall we?” Carson put his hand forward for his girlfriend to hold it. “Of course.” Making her giggle. Now only four of them were left. Hailey and Owen were looking awkwardly at each other. They didn’t know if it was a good idea to leave Eddy and Evy alone. “Guys, seriously. You two lovebirds go and have some fun.” Evy said. “No, it is fine. We are fine.” Hailey stated to her best friend. She didn’t want to leave Evy alone. “Ok! If on the count of three, you two didn’t vanish from my sight, then I’ll never talk to both of you.” “Okay-okay, we are leaving,” Owen s
“Hey, babe.” “What do you want, Victor?” Evy said, coming straight to the point. “I want you to go on a date with me.” Evy felt Edd stiffen beside her, and she could feel his fingers turning into a fist. “Nope.” “Did you just deny me?” He was dumbfounded. “Yes,” she said with a blank face. “Who do you think you are? You should be honored that I am asking you on a date.” He exclaimed, clearly gaining attention from everyone in the cafeteria. “Excuse me.” Standing face to face with Victor even made Eddy stand up as they both were handcuffed. “You should be honored that I am even noticing you.” “Look, guys. The loser nerd has got guts talking back to me. If I want, then I can easily ruin you.” He was fuming. “Oh my god, I really would like you to try.” Eddy wanted to butt in, but Evy’s glare told him to back off from her business. “Changing your looks won’t make you popular, you know.” “I’ll rather stay as an outcast than being popular like you. You know, it’s unbelievable th
“You know, Eddy came to visit me yesterday after you and Owen left,” Haley informed her best friend. “He did?” The surprise was clearly written on Evy’s face. “Yeah.” “Hails, you can forgive him if you want. If you want to talk to him, go ahead. I won’t stop you from doing that.” Evy told her. She would never want to come between Eddy and her friendship. “Not so soon, Evy. I want to forgive him, but what’s the guarantee he won’t ditch us again? But at the same time, this was the last year of our school, and I don’t want to part ways with him holding grudges.” “I know. I was thinking along the same lines. At least he is trying, which counts for something, right?” Evy told her she was lost in her own thoughts. “Exactly. You girls should talk to him.” Owen spoke from behind. He came towards them and kissed Hailey. “When did this happen?” Evy smirked, which made both of them blush. “Um, yesterday after Eddy left, Owen came again to check on me.” Hailey blushed hard. “Well, finall
Like any other Friday, today, the members of the culture team had a meeting. As the school carnival was coming closer, they extended their stay in the school for a few more hours. Everyone was dotting their ideas down to make their fest hit as the money collected from the carnival would be used as a school fund in the future. It has already been two hours. “Guys look, I think we should take a break and eat something. It’s been two hours since we have been working.” Maddy spoke. “Well, for the first time in the history of this universe, you said a sensible thing,” Evy smirked. “Whatever.” Before Evy could retaliate, Maddy left to get food for everyone. Strange! She had gone to get food. But none of them cared as Maddy’s presence was irritating. After half an hour, she graced them with her presence with the delicious smell of food. They all sat together on the floor and began to eat waffles and pancakes. “I never thought in life that you crave this kind of food. I mean, don’t you
Today was another session that Mrs. Natalia was taking. It’s been almost a two months since school started, and it was going pretty well. Mrs. Natalia made the guys stand in line in the class and asked all the girls to blindfold themselves. She took each girl and made them stand in front of their partner discreetly. “Okay, so now I know you might be confused. But none of you will utter a single word. Be quiet. Now, as you can see, all the girls are blindfolded and standing in front of the boys. Remember, girls, the guy behind you could be anyone from your class. So now, on the count of three, you girls will drop back and hope that you guys will catch you. So one, two, and three.” Mrs. Natalia eyed them. She had a satisfied smirk on her face. Everyone did it perfectly. Evy was apprehensive as to who would be there behind her. She followed Mrs. Natalia’s words and let her fall backward. And luckily, the guy behind her caught her. After the little activity, Mrs. Natalia asks them to
