"I'm ready." Eva nodded. Lauren smiled and they both confidently strode into the school grounds.
"Alright?" Maddi beamed brightly.
"Don't pretend you care." Eva snapped.
"It's been a term, Eva. Get over it." Maddi scowled.
"'Get over it?' That was my boyfriend that you jumped into bed with, you little scumbag!" Eva lunged for her. Lauren held her back, clutching at her arms as Eva shouted at both her and Maddi.
"Maddi." Josh sighed, pulling her away.
"Why did you do that, ay?" Lauren sighed to Eva.
"She told me to get over my break up with Finn. If she hadn't put herself about, we'd still be together." Eva argued.
"Just ignore her, Eva. She isn't worth it." Lauren linked arms and dragged her in the direction of the main block.
"How was your holiday?" Finn asked, once they were in and seated. Eva fiddled with the beading on her bag as Lauren answered, not planning on delivering an answer. It may have been a term since her break-up with Finn but she wasn't willing to forget nor forgive.
"Eva?" Finn asked.
"Good." She managed, not bringing her eyes up to meet his.
"Eva, what did I say outside?" Lauren hissed.
"To ignore her because she isn't worth my time. Neither is he." She nodded her head in Finn's direction.
"I'm sorry about her." Lauren sighed. "She knows how to hold a grudge."
"Don't patronise me." Eva ordered, glaring at Lauren. "I'm not holding a grudge, I just don't want anything to do with either of them anymore."
"Finn, Eva?" Mr Chalk called, forcing them to both look up. "I've had an email from Mrs Diamond; she wants you to deliver her some coursework during your reg period. Does that mean anything to you?"
"I'm completely forgot." Eva sighed, standing up. "Are you coming?" She asked Finn bluntly, watching him shrug and stand up.
"Come straight back after." Mr Chalk called as they left the classroom.
"Where are you going?" Eva demanded, watching Finn walk in the opposite direction.
"Follow me." Finn ordered, not looking back. Eva ran after him, as best as she could in black heels. Finn didn't stop until they were stood outside the janitor's cupboard. "Do you remember this?" He demanded. "Just tell me you remember this." He watched her closely.
It took her a while before she finally nodded. "Yeah." She managed. It was said so quietly, Finn wasn't sure if he heard it.
"What happened in here, Eva?"
Eva looked down at the floor, shuffling her feet.
"What happened, Eva?" He asked more forcefully.
Slowly she brought her eyes up to meet his. "Our first sober kiss."
"Yeah." He nodded, his eyes boring into her like lasers. "Also the best kiss of my life." He banged the door and sighed. "And I would give anything to go back to that moment." He said sadly, staring at the door like it was projecting the memory.
