Not as Sweet
This is simply just an evil brainwave, that came to me a few days ago.
(Half my stories are like that!)
Anyway, I hope you like it!
Chapter 1 – Four Years After Dumping
A young girl walked along the hallway. She was only about 9 and even though she had been at the school for years, she had only made one or two half-reliable friends in the process. She did have one real friend though.
Her hair was black, but she knew it would one day get dyed. She wanted it to be long and pink but she could settle for her short hair for now.
She stood waiting outside the classroom for her only true friend.
After a few minutes of waiting, the bell rang and the class piled out. The girl waited and soon enough, a girl just like her age came out.
She had long blonde hair that went past her shoulders. She smiled when she saw her friend.
'Hey Eva!' she smiled as she ran up to her black haired friend.
Eva grinned. She could always depend on Maple to cheer her up. She walked along her friend.
'How did you get out of her class so soon?' Maple asked her.
'I used my package excuse,' Eva grinned evilly.
'Really? And she fell for it? How long have you been out for?'
'Ever since the bell rang and I went into her classroom. So about two hours of English I've missed. Thank God, who wants to learn stuff about their own language? It's crap.'
Maple admired Eva and how she was a rebel. She hated Stern Boarding School and everyone in it. Apart from her friends of course. Maple hated the school too, but she was too sweet to rebel about it.
One of the older students passed Eva.
'She wants to see you,' he said.
Eva groaned.
'Why can't she leave me alone? It's not my fault she is so evil!' Eva moaned.
'Well you are not a sweet little kid. Has it become obvious yet?' he ruffled her hair slightly.
Eva gave him an evil look but he only laughed.
'Look, you are sweet but I think you should go up. Really…' he said urgently.
Eva rolled her eyes. God, it wasn't enough that she had to live here. She had to go up because once again she would be told of her "differences".
'Yeah, well it sucks. Why does it have to be me?' she asked.
'Because you are the rebel, kid,' the guy walked off.
Eva shrugged.
'Want to get yelled at?' she asked Maple.
Maple didn't mind. She just smiled at Eva. Eva grinned back at her.
'Great! Let's go and visit the witch!'
Maple giggled. She loved how Eva managed to make those sorts of comments about her teachers.
They went up to the classroom. Eva knocked on the door.
'Come in,' the evil voice said.
Eva slammed the door open. Her teacher jumped up in shock.
'Oh, it's only you Eva. Maple, leave now.'
'But…'
'Go!'
Maple sighed. She wasn't like Eva. She didn't fight her battles very well. She wasn't a rebel or naughty like Eva. She wanted to be, but she was just too sweet, innocent and kind.
She sadly walked out of the door and closed it softly behind her.
'See you at lunch,' she mouthed at Eva.
Eva smiled. She knew it was only the first break. But boy, did the days seem so long in that hideous place.
When Maple was out of her sights, Eva's teacher spoke.
'Eva, may I ask why your package took two hours to claim?' she asked in a cold voice.
After a moment of thinking, Eva made her sweetest face. She also used her most innocent and kindest voice.
'I'm so sorry Miss. I didn't mean to. It just took so long to get processed and Ned took so long to find it…it took me too long,' Eva smiled gently.
Her teacher wasn't fooled though.
'Eva, stop fooling around. I know how much you hate English. So today I am going to be using your lunch break, to teach you how to write in Nurasian!' her teacher grinned evilly.
'You can't make me do that! I promised Maple I'd see her at lunch and eat the stuff they call food. It was meant to be a nice time! Well, the food is crap so I really meant the stuff about Maple,' Eva made no effort to show her disgust.
Her teacher got very mad at her.
'Miss Wei! The school catering is excellent here and you are writing Nurasian no matter what! Don't you dare ever say such foul words about our school or anything about it again!' her teacher yelled.
'I was only telling the truth,' Eva muttered.
She got up and opened the door.
'Miss Wei, we are not finished!' her teacher yelled.
'I heard you. Nurasian writing, lunchtime and some other crap. See you back here then,' Eva walked off.
Her teacher was left fuming at the little girl. She was so young and yet the worst behaved girl in the whole school. Why did she have to be the one who stayed all the time?
Eva didn't really care about her teacher. She found Maple. She was had a biscuit. She broke it into two and gave Eva the biggest half.
'Yum! My favourite!' Eva grinned.
She ate all of the biscuit in one. Maple grinned at how Eva did these sorts of things every day.
Eva sadly looked at Maple.
'Uh, Maple? Can't make lunchtime. The teacher has got me doing this Nurasian writing crap. I know I would really like to but…' Eva rolled her eyes.
'It's ok. We can do another time. You can come to my dorm after lessons end and we can talk and stuff. We can still do that. They won't be able to keep you locked up there for forever,' Maple shrugged.
Secretly, she was really upset, but she tried to not let it show. She smiled weakly at Eva. Eva grinned, happy her friend understood.
'Anyway, could you help me with my erm, project?' Eva asked.
'Sure! When is it due in?' Maple asked.
'Erm, today. After the bell rings,' Eva laughed uneasily.
Maple shook her head. Things would never change with her friend. She sat down with Eva and they started fixing up Eva's project.
