Just ignore the bad tittles, they will be better soon. Reviews please!!
Chapter 1: not today
The sky was still lightly blue, there were almost no clouds in it and the sun was reflecting on every window of the houses of that urbanization. Eva was sitting on the street in front of her house; she was looking at the sunset and the clouds that could hardly resist the intensity of the sun that wanted them to evaporate. It had passed almost a month since started the time of rains, but ironically, it hadn't rained any of those days.
It had passed exactly a year since her life changed completely, and almost 9 months ago she had returned to Earth and started a new life with her father, Don Wei.
Eva remembered clearly every obstacle that she lived during that race in which she was able to see her father; she also worked as a mechanic and pilot for him (after a lot of troubles) and was able to meet some friends and enemies, some from distant planets, others from near planets, but she didn't knew it certainly because she never asked where their planets were.
There were some names that she preferred not to remember. Toros, Kross, Canaleto.
There were some others that she would never be able to forget. Jordan, Rick, Satis… she giggled as she thought of the little avatar; all the times he wanted to give her a lecture and was never able to do it, and in spite of it she had learned a lot from him.
But there was a particular name that caused her a lot of pain and memories, the name of someone she haven't seen in a long time…Aikka. But she didn't want to think about it right now. "Not today, Eva" she said to herself.
When Jordan turned into the avatar, the pact of peace between the Crogs and the Earth, because of the Great Race of Oban, was broken. Everybody thought that Earth would be bombed without mercy when the race was over; but then the avatar personally forced the Crogs to stay away from his planet, whose ships were in that time around Earth. He told them to be far away from the planet and to never come back and they did, surprising Eva and all the Earth people.
It was growing dark when a euphoric shout removed Eva from her thoughts. A light ball approached to her and illuminated her face, and then it transformed into a young and tall boy who was wearing a kind of purple tunic, he had a black-yellow hair.
-Here is the avatar! - said Jordan, who was now 18 years old.
-Yeah yeah, I heard you already. Guess the entire city knows that you are here, Jordan- said Eva while standing up and cleaning her clothes from the dust.
She was still wearing the uniform of her school, the one where his father put her after they moved to that city. The "stupid costume", as she used to called it, consisted on a white shirt with long sleeves and the end of them were black, a black necktie, with the shield of the school in the side were is the heart; and also a black skirt which she was forced to wear after a big discussion with her father and a confused director.
-By the way- she said as she looked at the young avatar with accusing eyes- you are late today-
-I'm the avatar! I have a lot of work, with all the Crogs' war stuff…-
Eva's eyes looked at the ground immediately and Jordan could only feel like an idiot, why did he have to talk about that subject? Both of them knew how painful it was for Eva. A month after Jordan forced the Crogs to be away from Earth, all the universe received the news that Nourasia was attacked by the ships of the ruthless aliens.
The reason? Simple. The rupture of the alliance between the Crog Empire and Nourasia during the Great Race of Oban. But Eva knew better than any other person the real cause of that rupture. Her friendship with Aikka caused that the prince was considered a traitor and that there were suspicions of an alliance with Earth. Because of this the Crogs apparently indignant, started a war with Nourasia, and they haven't stopped their attacks since then.
Eva was afraid that the prince could have got a lecture; that he was expulsed from the nourasian court, that he was injured or worst, that he was dead. When she thought on the last possibility her body started shaking and the fear and the guilt invaded her. If she hadn't known Aikka, that war would not be happening. What if he was dead by her fault?
-Eva! Jordan! Are you coming in? It's late- shouted Don Wei, looking behind the principal door of the house that he and his daughter inhabited since almost a year.
-We are coming dad! Let's go Jordan- said Eva as she ran to the place where was her father to hug him with a big smile on her lips.
Since they returned to Earth, everything seemed to be like a wonderful dream. Jordan decided that he would visit her "partner" everyday, if he was able to escape from the tedious and strict supervision of the creators. Stan and Koji, meanwhile, were working for Don Wei since Miguel, their last boss, has retired and they were creating new and wonderful star racers.
Rick received them in their return to Earth; he also helped Don and Eva to look for a place to move and was now the trainer of the young pilots that worked for Don. And to top it all Eva was the best of all those pilots; she had already won an international championship and participated in a national one where she won the second place.
In addition, Don seemed to have returned to be the one who Eva knew; of course that he still reprimanded her when she did something bad, but only if it really needed to be discussed; they also used to laugh at the crazy things that Eva did on her school; but in spite of that, their relationship couldn't be better. They were together every time they could, Eva was always hugging him and Don smiled, feeling like the happiest man in the world for having his daughter with him again.
-You will not dare to come late tomorrow, will you Jordan? - said Don looking seriously at the avatar across his daughter's hair, who didn't wanted to let him go.
-Of course not, sir- answered the boy smiling.
-Very well- said Don- now Eva, we have to come in. You should be hungry, aren't you?-
Eva thought about it for a second and instantly her stomach growled wanting some food, causing that Jordan and her father started to laugh.
-That's right- she said while blushing a little, but without wanting to let Don go. She had lived 10 years wanting to be with her father and now she would hug him all the time she wanted.
-Hey! Don't forget about us- said a voice.
Then she turned around to see a black and long convertible car that was parked in front of her house and two known mechanics, one of them with a tanned skin and the other with an oriental looking, and on the other side of the car was a tall ex-racer.
-Rick! Stan! Koji! - shouted Eva while smiling, running to her friends and jumping in the arms of the both young mechanics and then being trapped by Rick's arms.
-What are you doing here? We didn't knew you were about to come- she said while finally separating from the man that never took off his dark glasses.
-You didn't but I knew they were - said Don waving to the guys.
-And what for? - asked Eva innocently as the men looked at each others nervously.
-We just wanted to talk about some business- Stan answered quickly after a short but tense silence.
-Anyway, let's go inside- said Jordan, trying to calm the situation.
-Fine- said Eva, pretending to be convinced, but she knew perfectly that they were hiding something, although she didn't knew what it was.
They ate, talked, laughed at some jokes that Jordan heard in some planets, Eva played some video games with Stan, and she also talked with Koji about the news star racers that they were designing and she then was sent by her father to sleep. It didn't took too long for Eva to be against it but she gave up when the guys said that they wanted to sleep too.
Eva went to her room, her sanctuary, her favorite place in the house after the kitchen, for obvious reasons. There were star racers posters in a wall, near of her bed, and on the other one were a lot of drawings pasted in it, the most of them were sketches of the landscapes of Oban, Alwas and the faces of her friends and the people she met during the Great Race. There were also a desk; her closet and a small table where her school bag was.
Luckily, Eva just needed to do her math and art's homework. Quickly she opened her math book, wrote the assigned problems and solved them; she also reviewed them and when she was satisfied she put her book in her school bag and took a paper and a pencil from the desk, starting with her art homework.
Eva discovered when she was back from Oban that she loved to draw. Everyone said that she was really good, especially when she drew the faces of people. She had drawn the face of her father, Rick, Jordan, Stan, Koji, Satis, Rush, Sul, Ning, Skun, her mother Maya and her best friend Mina. Her personality was a lot like Eva's. She was the only one who believed in her story about Oban in her school; that's why she was her best friend. In addition, everyone who knew them said that they were unbearable and even Jordan once called them "public enemies" when they tried to stole his tunic to throw it by the window, in that way he would have to go and look for it completely naked.
That memory made Eva grin but this disappeared instantly when she looked at her art homework. She didn't noticed what she was drawing, because she was too deep in her thoughts about what her friends and father were hiding. When she looked at her watch she noticed it was already eleven o' clock so she gave up; she wouldn't be able to draw another face, as the teacher asked them to do; she should have to take that one to her class, although it would be hard to explain who it was without them thinking that she was crazy, but Mina surely would help her.
So she took off her uniform and got dressed, she was wearing a long shirt without sleeves and shorts for sleeping. She finally covered herself with the sheets and fell asleep after a few minutes thinking on the face she just draw, until her mind reprimanded her saying again "not today, Eva".
A little long, don't you think? Well, there was really a lot to tell and I was inspired xD. Now I have some questions and phrases for you about the next chapter.
What are the guys hiding?
What is the face that Eva just drew?
Did you like it or not? Why?
"JORDAN STAY AWAY FROM MY ROOM!!"
"It's nothing. See you soon princey boy"
"He was happy that he was able to see the Earth princess, at least for a moment"
So, here is it. REVIEW PLEASE!!
