Chapter 2- Out---of time

Once Nay and I were a safe distance from the house, we transformed back to our regular selves. "Nay, when do you suppose I should tell David about moving to London?" I asked afraid of the answer.

"What! You mean you haven't told him yet!" screamed Nay.

"Nadine Jacquelyn Skairek! You have no right to shout at me, I was only asking your opinion and it's my life so I can do whatever I want with it." I replied knowing that

I pushed her buttons while calling her by her full name...she hated that. I was right, her face turned redder than the lip-gloss I had on.

"I hate you" she said playfully once she calmed down.

"I love you too, my wonderful sister who happens to know how to break things to people and-" I was cut off.

"Evelyn Yvette Skairek, I will not be the one to break things to David no matter how much you try to butter me up." said Nay. That full name thing worked both ways

so I was the one to go red this time.

"Okay," I gave in," have things your way I'll tell him tonight". Nay smiled.

"Good." said Nay and we started walking down toward the teen nightclub where we met up with David, Jackie (one of my best friends besides Nay), and John (our

neighbor who happened to be a good friend). Jackie was wearing a revealing green halter/midriff top with a mini black skirt. David was wearing some baggy pants, a

shirt that was way too big and some Nike Air Force Ones. And John was wearing almost the same as David only a different color shirt.

"Hey" said David and he pulled me close to him by the waist and leaned down and kissed me passionately.

"Why don't you two get a room?" scoffed Jackie after about a minute. John and Nay laughed and they went into the nightclub. After about an hour of dancing and

kissing (that was only me and David), everyone was tired and hungry, so David and Jackie went to order some food while John still danced with a girl he met and Nay

and I went to the bathroom to freshen up.

"Did you notice how David and Jackie were looking at each other tonight?" I asked my sister worried that something was going on.

"Eve, you are so paranoid, your problem is that you can never trust a man." said Nay, fixing her hair and make-up which were perfect and didn't need fixing up but Nay

always had to look her best and was quite god at it. I thought that she should be a model.

"Is that a bad thing? I mean men are conniving little jerks who cheat, lie, and go out with your best friend or sister, whoever is hotter." I said starting to fix my make-up,

I liked how I looked with make-up on but I hated the feeling that something was always wrong with it.

"Eve, you are my sister and I love you, but you need to change, not all men are like that." said Nay applying more lip-gloss.

"Oh please" I said sarcastically," this is coming from the girl who doesn't have a boyfriend, and Nay, honey, you also need to change, you can never take a risk enough to go out with a guy."

"Look whose talking, I mean you can't even take a risk enough to trust your own Boyfriend" she said, she had a point there, "And besides, you know me, I don't date a guy unless-"

"Unless you get to know each other and become friends before anything serious happens between you blah blah blah, I've heard it all before." I said broadly applying

hairspray to my hair, it was great being a witch, I could enchant things, and like my purse in this case to carry anything I needed. "And hurry up, you put on so much

make-up already, it's a miracle you can move under all that weight." I lied, she didn't need to put on anything really, only a little lip-gloss, mascara, and blush worked for

her.

"Lets go", said Nay shaking her head and laughing at me. I just walked with her, I didn't feel like starting a fight with her and I had to tell David I was leaving anyways,

so I had too much on my mind. When we got back to our table Jackie was whispering something into David's ear but stopped as she saw us coming. I just ignored it,

'Your being paranoid Eve get a grip' I thought to myself and just smiled as I sat.

"Listen, David, I have something to tell you, I um I ...um...well I'm moving to London" I said quickly hoping to ease the pain.

"Oh" said David looking shocked but not quite sad, "I guess we can stay in touch by letters, right?" he asked, brightening up.

"Um , yea, I supose" I said a little taken back by how quickly he bounced back. 'Your being paranoid again Eve' I thought to myself.

"Listen, Eve, don't look so sad, we will be able to see each other in a year, right?' he said a little too happily. I looked at Nay and she looked as though she was thinking

the same as me, 'Why is he so damn happy?'

"Yea I guess so," I said and put on a fake smile. When Nay looked over I knew that she knew that it was fake she had seen it so many times before, when mom and

dad died, but I was a good actress and made it look real then, but now, I didn't even put effort into actually looking happy. I looked at David and knew that he bought it.

Another thing to add to my list of why I should never trust men, they were ignorant of what was right in front of them, so they were easily fooled. Idiots.

After about an hour more of dancing, Jackie said she was really tired and David offered to walk her home, so everyone called it a night. Nay and I were walking home.

"Hey, Nay-nay," I called her that sometimes, " was it me or did David seem a little too happy back there?" I asked my worry coming back.

"Yea, actually he was a little too happy, but don't jump to conclusions, he may not be like Joey-" Nay stopped talking when she saw my face and realized that what I

had told her 1 year ago wasn't true, I wasn't over the fact that he had cheated on me the whole time we were going out, and with my now ex-best friend. Three years

ago, I met Joey, kind, loving, and everything I wanted in a man, at least I thought. Tears started coming down my eyes as I remembered how a year later I found out he

had cheated on me. And how it took one more year to convince myself I was over him. But now I knew I was over him, but not over the pain he caused me.

Nay sensed this and said, "Mom and dad wouldn't want you crying over him, they would want you living your life and forgetting about that sorry-excuse- for-a-human-

being." She hugged me and I knew she was right.

"I have crappy luck with men don't I?" I said lightening the mood and we both started laughing. "Oh, and Nay, you know I'm going to get you back for bringing up Joey

right?" And she nodded and laughed harder.
