Chapter 3

It was a picture of her family.

Five people were in the picture. A tall man with a beard (-Her father,- he thought,) and a little blue-haired girl on his shoulders. A blonde women, most likely her mother, was laughing beside another blonde haired teenager. Two dark haired teens were by the father and Eve. They were all standing in front of a pyramid. They were all happy.

"Where did you get that?" he heard Eve's voice from behind him. He turned around to face her.

"The floor, bitch." he threw it back at her.

She caught it and he heard her whisper, "Thank you."

"Who was that guy from this morning that you were so terrified of?" he asked.

"Judiah. One of my brothers' friends." she sighed, and opened her locker, "Trying to get me back to Egypt…"

"Why don't you go?" Freddy asked.

"…" she looked down at the picture. "I…"

"Your family's there, judging from that picture." Freddy glared at her, "Why act like you're the only one with pain?" he snarled, adding, "Well I'm sorry to have to say this, but you're not."

Eve slammed her locker shut, and starting walking away.

"DON'T TURN YOUR BACK TO ME!!" Freddy yelled. Eve slowed to a stop.

"You're right," she hissed, surprising Freddy, "I don't know what its like being beaten by my stepfather. But," she turned her head a little to face him, "I do know what it's like being raped by my brothers. And also having my sister kill my mother, and trying to kill me." she continued her way down the hall.

"What's wrong, Eve?" Lisa asked.

"Yeah!" Luna piped, "Cheer up!"

"Whatever," Eve muttered.

"So, did you see that new boy?" Reda laughed, "He's cute, man!"

"What's his name?" Eve asked, suddenly alert.

"James Johnson. He's from Australia." Luna sighed.

"Oh, okay…" Eve sighed with relief.

The girls continued their chatter, but Eve wasn't really listening. Something about boys.

"Please excuse this interruption," the speaker boomed, "The Claw Fighting tournament as been rescheduled to middle break. Could Freddy Krueger come to the gym please."

From the corner of her eyes, Eve saw Freddy get up from his table and leave the cafeteria. "Claw Fighting tournament?" she asked puzzled.

"Yeah, it's our school unique sport. Freddy's the master of it." Lisa grinned, her eyes gleaming, "He always kicks ass, and you can guarantee blood when it comes to Freddy."

Luna giggled, "You have to come see it with us!"

"Sure," Eve muttered, "Sure."

~~~

The crowd in the gym was huge. All the school had come to see the tournament. Eve was sitting in the front seat, Lisa and the others insisting on getting there first so they got great seats. In fact, front row and centre. Eve sighed, and watched people file in. -We've been waiting for at least fifteen minutes!- she thought, -When's this gonna start?!- Beside her, an empty seat wore a sign that, in big black letters, stated, 'Reserved'.

As if on cue, the announcer, a boy named Rick, stepped into the arena. "Ladies, Gentlemen and Teachers! This is a barbaric sport of…Claw Fighting!!" the crowd screamed. Luna was the loudest. "I know why the ladies are here, at least…To see Freddy without his shirt!" All the girls booed and laughed at the same time. "Now, I know, you wanna see blood…but first, we have to introduce Freddy's victims!" Cheers were heard. Eve then noticed some foreign students sitting across the room.

"Hello." a voice whispered beside Eve. She turned, and found the new boy, James, sitting in the reserved seat. He had green eyes, and coal black hair. His skin had a tint of Korea, and he had a nice smile.

"Er…hey." she said. She twitched, unfamiliar at the presence of a boy beside her.

"You want to go out later?" he smiled at her.

"Er-"

"Great, I'll meet you at the Café Lounge." He got up. He then made his way back to his seat, leaving a dazzled Eve behind.

"Ladies and Gents, may I present Kyle Wellington! By chance you'll all remember him!"

The half of the audience that was from St. Ive's laughed. The foreign students hissed.

"Huh?" Eve muttered to Luna, "What happened?"

Luna grinned, "Freddy almost killed him."

"Oh," Eve laughed.

"Now, what the ladies have been waiting for…FREDDY KRUEGER!!!"
