Authors note: Greetings from planet Maggie. I know you all want to shoot me for starting a new story. I'll be going on a trip in about 2 weeks so I'll try to update every story at least once before I leave. Er.. If you're wondering why I started this story it's because I can really relate to it. I'm not crazy! Not really crazy.. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoy writing it.

NO RECAP!

"EVA!!" her mother shouted through the locked door. Stumbling over a few coke cans and art canvases she made it to the door and unlocked it. "What mum?" she said groggily leaning on the edge of the door. "You didn't do your chores yesterday!" her mom yelled. "I got sidetracked.." she said trailing off. Her mother sighed and handed her a mop and bucket. "You're not going to school today," she said and turned around. "Why?" Eva asked. Though she already knew the answer, it was always like this when she forgot her chores. "I want the house spotless before I get back, and for God's sake clean your room."

"Whatever you say mother dearest," she muttered rubbing the circles under her eyes. She heard the car start and the garage close. Sighing in defeat she grabbed the bucket off the floor and went downstairs. The house never got really dirty seeing as it was just her and her mom. "Six in the freaking morning," she said looking at the clock. She set down the stuff and found her purse on the table. Flipping through the CDs she found the right one. 'Lordi' was written with nail polish on the burned CD. She walked over to the stone fireplace and CD player and threw the CD in and slammed the cover shut. She punched the play button and the music started. She was in a violent mood, and no one was here to see it. No one but Nak that is.

Not even bothering to sweep first she dipped the mop in the luke-warm water and began to clean the floor. 'You should really just ask her' Nak whispered, 'I mean, why not? You don't have any friends here anyway..' 'But who will clean up?' She asked angrily, 'Who will go to school and make perfect grades to make these fools happy?''It's worth a shot dear..' Nak muttered. She sighed and dropped the mop. "But how Nak? How do I ask her to let me go off to an art school that gives therapy?" she said. Suddenly there was someone in front of her.

A girl a bit taller than her, short black hair, pale, and bright red eyes stared down at her. "Butter her up," the girl said. "Nak?" Eva said in disbelief. The girl flashed a beautiful smile showing off white sharp teeth. "Indeed," Nak said. Nak put a hand on her shoulder, "You need to get out of here, or else we'll both be driven to the crazy house." She was solid, Nak was a solid being. She could feel her cold fingers against her shoulder. "Quickly, I'll help you finish your work and we'll look online for an art institute," Nak whispered and floated across the floor to the kitchen. Well, not really floating.. But she walked with such grace it looked as if she was.

"Ho-How did you..?" Eva trailed off and Nak turned around. "No questions now dear, time to work." And with that Nak turned around and started to do the dishes. Eva realized her mouth was agape and quickly shut it. She picked up the mop and started to clean the floors again but a bit faster. She was looking forward to finding the art institute. After she mopped the floors she did laundry and cleaned her room while Nak scrubbed the tub and cleaned all of the bathroom.

Within three hours all the work was finished. Eva ran to the computer while Nak casually floated behind her. She typed 'Art institute' into the search bar and came up with a promising site. "Saint James' Boarding School. An Art Institute for troubled children. Ages 12-18," Nak read aloud. "Perfect," she muttered. This school had 48 different locations. "I would really like to go to Europe.." Eva muttered. She looked down the list of locations. "Brooklyn.. Gatlinburg.. Ah! These are too close by!" She shouted throwing her hands up into the air. Nak grabbed the mouse and scrolled down. "There," Nak whispered pointing to a city on the screen.

"Glasgow!" Eva said happily. " 'Glasgow, Scotland. One chosen the least of all since it's so far from the home of many students.' That's all of the description.." She said trailing off. She clicked on the link and found herself staring at a large castle-like structure with acres of grounds. "Lovely.." She said. She scrolled down and read the 'more' description. It was 6,000 per year. Not far of from her school already. She noticed that they did indeed have a uniform which wasn't good, but half the time kids wore paint clothes that they carried around all day. They did teach mathematics and sciences. In Glasgow she would learn about the history of Scotland and England.

She turned around and Nak had disappeared. "Nak?" she called out. 'Yes dear?' Nak said in her mind. "Oh, you've gone back in my head then?" she asked. 'Yes, so do you think you will ask your mother?' "I think I will. It sounds perfect. Maybe I can even get a job while I'm there," Eva said leaning back in her computer chair. "I feel like sketching.." She said trailing off. 'Don't let me stop you!' she heard Nak say and she laughed. "Right, well I'll ask mom when she gets home," Eva said, "Hey Nak? Would other people be able to see you like I do?" 'Depends on the person. They have to have someone like me as well to be able to see me' she said.

"Oh ok," she said letting it drop. She knew if she asked now what exactly Nak was she would get the answer 'Not now dear'. And with that, she went off to her room to sketch something that made her happy.
