Chapter 10 – Not Healing
'Miss Wei,' her English teacher tried her hardest.
'Leave me alone,' Eva muttered.
Her English teacher sighed. How long was it going to take for Eva to get over this? It had been a month. The graffiti pictures of Nurasians and Crogs together that had been put up all over the school hadn't helped.
Eva had almost killed the last guy she saw making one of those.
'Miss Wei! If you do not pay attention, I will give you a punishment!' her teacher yelled.
That reminded Eva of the Nurasian writing and sword lessons. She spat at her teacher in disgust. She glared at her hatefully. How dare she say that? She knew how much those words hurt Eva.
'I said leave me alone. Unless you want to be in a coffin,' Eva picked up her sword angrily.
Naomi grabbed Eva's arm.
'Let go,' Naomi hissed.
Eva dropped her sword and sighed.
'I think I will leave the room,' her teacher said.
She left the class alone and went down into her office. She picked up the communication link dial piece and put in a number.
She didn't notice Eva had sneaked out as well and was listening.
'Hello,' she said.
'What is it?' the man asked.
'Eva has become uncontrollable. Being separated from this Nurasian has cost us dearly. One of our students went to hospital yesterday. We can't risk it anymore! We need the backup plan!' her teacher muttered.
The man sighed.
'It is that serious? I guess it must be. Right, we will tell the person's family and tell them it could be for the rest of his education. When do you need the person?' the man asked.
'As soon as possible. We can't wait anymore! If Eva sees another Nurasian and Crog picture up, she will murder the whole school!' her teacher yelled.
How true, Eva thought.
She slipped back into class. She glared at everyone. They got the message. They were not to tell on her.
Eva started swinging her chair
The teacher came back in with a huge smile on her face. Eva raised her eyebrow. This was not good.
'Everyone! In a few days time, we will be having a new student arriving here! His name is…' the teacher started.
'Mr make Eva happy plan?' Eva glared.
Everyone went silent. The teacher was furious at Eva.
'How dare you listen in on my conversation! That was a private communication link and you have the cheek to listen?' the teacher yelled.
'At least I don't go 'Oh Eva's going to murder the whole school!' and 'Eva's uncontrollable!'. I thought teachers were paid to like their students. No one has even tried making me happy. Why should another guy do your job?' Eva asked.
There was a long silence.
Eva spat at the teacher and stood up. She slung her bag over her shoulder and picked up her sword.
'I thought as much,' she muttered angrily.
She walked over to the door, opened it and walked out. She slammed the door behind her. It felt good.
She felt more like herself for a moment. That was until she saw another Crog and Nurasian painting. She saw the guy finishing it off. She took out her sword and walked up behind him.
'Hey!' she yelled.
The guy turned around. He froze at the sight of Eva.
'Shit! Control yourself you crazy bitch!' he shouted.
Eva sighed and put away the sword.
'Yeah, well don't do those paintings. God, do I have to clean every single fucking one? You guys don't even know any Nurasians. You're getting a crap image of them. It's the stupid government. They are all bastards,' she muttered angrily.
She took out her cloth and started wiping the picture off. The guy stared at her in wonder.
'You're not going to do a Jamie Thomson on me?' he asked confusedly.
'If you keep going on about it I will. Tell everyone in this hellhole I won't hurt anyone else if they stop doing this shit,' Eva glared at him.
The guy got the message quickly.
'Ok,' he whispered.
He turned and ran off. Eva smiled weakly. Well, that was that problem taken care off anyway.
She finished rubbing off the picture. The only thing she couldn't rub off properly was the Nurasian's eyes. It made Eva think of Canaan and maybe what Prince Aikka may have looked like.
'Fucking America,' she muttered angrily.
She went back into her room. She looked at the TV. It had been fixed but Eva still remembered the shards lying everywhere.
She sat on her bed and turned it on.
There was the president.
'I feel the new Nurasian separation is fine. I do not believe this rumour of an enraged girl harming other students is a myth,' the president said.
'You got that wrong,' Eva rolled her eyes.
'I think the Nurasians are getting what they deserved. All of them wanted to be united with the Crogs,' the president went on.
'So Aikka and Canaan don't count anymore?' Eva asked.
She turned the TV off. She had seen enough. Maybe even too much.
She rested her head on her pillow. She looked up at the ceiling.
She had placed all her letters from Aikka up there so she could see them every day and no one would be able to find them. They had tried taking them away from her once, and she knew they would try again.
She stood up after looking at the clock. It was only the morning and already she left like facing the next day.
Eva punched her wall hard. It was going to be one long day.
