It's simple, but complicated.
Eva wasn't sure how she ended up in this situation, but she was starting to get annoyed. She could not figure out what to do, so she was lying in her bed instead of being on the party drinking cheap beer, having fun and hooking up with someone. She was sure that it would be Chris. All summer they were dancing around each other, hooking up on every party. They didn't talk much, just about easy things like goosips or their plans for summer, but they never talked about serious things. It was their silent agreement she thought and she was ok with it. They were just having fun and that should not be a problem. It was not about that she wanted to be serious with him. She just could not understand how this happened. She could hook up with whoever she wanted, but every time for months it was Chris. Eva had no idea how to think straight. Noora and William went to London and she suddenly felt like her best friend completely disappeared. Of course they were texting all the time and facetiming everyday, but still Noora was not here. She had all the girls and they were the best Eva could wish for but somehow there was just one Noora and she was in London.
It all started last week when she threw a party at her house, almost everybody was here and it was awesome. People were having fun. And Eva? Eva was definitely having fun. Of course she ended up with Chris pinning her to the wall and when Wilde interrupted them, she could tell she was more than annoyed. It wouldn't have been Chris if he was not looking for someone else immediately, so she ignored Vilde and pulled him back to her, her lips firmly pressed to his. He was taken aback for a while, but they quickly found their pace again. That was the first time they eneded tangled and breathless in her bed. Eva wasn't planing it, but it just happened. Both of them were drunk. Ok, just a little drunk it was not the reason for them ending up in bed – sadly. But that night she was feeling lonely and Chris was surprisingly nice to her. Of course she knew why, he wanted to get laid, in which he was successful. Ok, Eva. You need to be honest with yourself. You wanted it to. There Is no alcohol to blame – just you. But she had no idea how her brain could let her make this choice. Maybe because You wanted it? She thought. But why on earth she would want that to happen? You were just horny. Yeah, that would be it. That night she woke up in an empty bed with no evidence of him being there. He must have left right after she fell asleep.
It wouldn't be that bad if she could Just put it behind her. It was just one night. Who was she fooling, they both knew it's gonna happen. The problem was different. When she met him at the shopping center the other day, he barely looked at her. They didn't text usually, but she wanted some answers. Eva started to feel used. She thought that after the whole summer of hooking up they are at least friends, but now she felt like she was just another ordinary girl who should be happy for his attention. She was not expecting anything from him, but she definitely was not expecting him to ignore her. From the start she was sad and maybe a little hurt, but then she started to think about it and she become mad. Who the hell he think he is? He thinks about her like if she is another stupid girl who should be happy that he even looked at her. Ok, Schistad, you made it completely clear. You are just a fuckboy. Nothing less, nothing more.
Eva tried to live her life like before. She is not the first and definitely not the last girl Chris played with. She was on her way to the school with a girl that day. They decided to take a longer way that morning, the park was quiet and it was just nice to clear their heads before school. Eva was talking with the girls and planning a movie night at her house when she saw something. All of them saw something. There was somebody fighting few meters from them. Eva immediately recognized one of them. It was Chris. Thankfully, few boys, she thinks they were penetrators, run into them and pulled them apart. The other guy was smiling at Chris, but Chris looked more like he wanted to punch him again. I would punch him too for that smile he was sending Chris way. Everyone was curious what was said between the two boys, but Eva and girls were too far away to hear anything and before they knew it there was a loud ringing from Sanas phone. It showed Noora on the display. Eva knew she should pay attention to the call with Noora but she was also curious what happened between Chris and that boy with a stupid smile. The girls were already talking with Noora about something, but Eva couldn't stop watching Chris. He was arguing with the boy who pulled them apart. „Eva!" she heard Vilde behind her, but she could not focus on Vilde when Chris met her eyes. It was the first time he looked at her from the party at her house, it was the first interaction actually. He held her gaze for a few seconds before looking away.
She came late to her math class that morning, but she found a way to talk herself out of it. Her teacher just waved it off and continued with algebra. Eva wasn't really trying to keep notes but somehow she could not listen to the teacher even for one minute without thinking about what just happened. She knew that Chris was that kind of a boy who was not afraid to throw a punch, but this seems different, not just because William was not here to calm Chris down but that look in his eyes was something she could not put a finger on. What the hell happened?! They didn't talk from that night, but she felt the urge to contact him somehow. So she typed quick You ok? And pressed send. Eva didn't expect him to answer her right away, but she definitely didn't expect him to not answer at all. She was staring at her phone for most of the day and guess what? Nothing.
That is how she ended up here, on her bed with her mind full of Schistad. What the hell I got myself into? She was not sure what was happening with her, but she knew one thing for sure, it has to stop. So she put some clothes on and was getting ready for the party she should be attending like an hour ago. But her phone rang. Ok, she is not gonna lie to herself, she had a little hope that it would be him but it was Noora. Eva picked up the call and was immediately met with sniffing. „Noora? What happened?" Noora was quiet for a while and after that there was just „I'm going home." Eva could not bring herself to say something so Noora continued. „I could not handle it anymore. It was too much, I'm at the airport right now, should be home soon." Eva closed her eyes and lay down on her bed with a little sigh. „Noora. I'm So sorry!" It was all she could say. After everything she thought that these two are the fairytale lovers. That kind of love you can see just in the movie. „Are you ok?" There was silence on the other line. „No? But I was tired of waiting for him at home and I am definitely tired of arguing with him." All what could Eva think about was that she did not see this coming. Yeah, Noora was talking about problems with William, but Eva never imagined that it would be that bad. „Noora… Can I do something for you?" Eva asked. „No, Eva. Just needed to tell it to somebody. We will talk when I am home?" „Yeah of course. Just text me, ok? I am not gonna sleep anyway."
Eva texted Sana that she is coming, her reply was just winking emoticon with hooray. She arrived just in time. Most of the people were already tipsy, she found Sana to say hi. But Sana was the only one she could see. Sana told her that Chris is somewhere with Kasper and she had no idea where Vilde was. Eva just shrugged it off and tell Sana that she is gonna go to find some drink. Eva made her way to the kitchen. She had no idea whose house she was in but on these parties it doesn't matter, if you know someone who is already inside, you are ok. She found something like an opened bar. Just bottles with alcohol all over the kitchen counter. There was literally everything but she could not find a stupid can of beer.
„Looking for something?" Oh, crap. She knew that voice too well. She was debating with herself if she should just ignore him, but she kind of could not do that. So she turned around to look at him. He was leaning on the door frame, can of a beer in right hand. He was wearing a white shirt and black bomber, his hair has been like always kind of messy and kind of perfect. There was that typical smirk on his face. She wanted to say something, but somehow she was just staring at him. And for a second he was staring back at her, his face turning serious. But yeah, it has been just a second because he started walking her way smirking again. Eva had no idea what he is up to, but when he was just few inches away, she could see the yellow under his left eye. Black eye from that fight? He opened a cupboard next to her and smiled. „You need to know the best hiding spots." He didn't step back, he was standing inches from her with a can of beer in hand. He was looking at her like on some experiment she thought, she knew she didn't said anything yet, but she somehow had no idea what to say. Her mind was racing with thoughts. Eva took the beer from his hands and smiled a little. „Thanks." He just winked at her and took a sip from his own beer.
„Tought you were ignoring me." You really wanted to say it like that Eva? Ok, now he thinks you are all over him. Are you? He smiled at her. „Kind of." Was his answer. She looked at him, like really looked. Not just there is black eye forming under his left eye, his eyebrow was almost healed, but it was cut open. She had no idea why her right hand was making its way to that green-yellow place under his eye, but she didn't stop it. She saw a little panic in his eyes, but he didn't move away. When her hand made contact with that spot, his eyes closed a little, but he was still staring at her. She had no idea what the hell she is doing, but he didn't do anything to stop her. So she kept drawing circles under his eye and he was just staring at her. It was simple, but still complicated. For strangers they would look like a couple in their happy bubble. That was the moment Eva realized she is in serious trouble and maybe Chris realized that too.
Ok. Sooo first of all, english is not my first language and last two years I was not actually working on improving it so I am sorry for mistakes. I was not writing in a long time, but I started Skam last week and kind of fell in love with it and when I realized there are just a few fics I suddenly felt like writing again. Was thinking about multichapter? Don't know yet. I hope you will enjoy it!
