Chapter 14 – A New Letter

'Crap,' Eva muttered.

Naomi's party had been going great. There were a lot of people there and everyone was having a good time. Eva had been too. Well, before someone had told one of the teachers about Eva's letters. From Aikka.

Sure, she didn't look at them much but they were the only thing she had.

'Right Eva, where are your letters?' the teacher asked.

'Who told you?' Eva demanded.

'One of our very own honour students,' the teacher replied.

'A snob has been spying on me? God when I see him, I will get my hands around that bastard's neck and…' Eva muttered angrily.

'So where are they?' the teacher asked again.

'What? Your fucking spy will know that,' Eva shrugged.

'No he does not. Also, do not use that foul language will with me, young lady. I know you can speak properly,' the teacher scolded Eva.

Eva realised that the teacher didn't know where the letters were. Ha!

'No way am I going to let my only link left to…'

'The lap-dogs? That's what the person who told me called your little friend,' the teacher smirked.

Eva's mouth dropped open. She walked off and found who she was looking for. She grabbed them by their top and rammed them against the nearby wall.

'You bastard!' she growled angrily.

'Uh…is it too late too say sorry?' the person asked.

'Fuck yeah!' Eva scowled.

'Look I did it for many reasons. Including the fact that I…um…well…funny story actually…'

Eva dropped the person.

'Whatever Jordan. I can't believe you would do this to me,' Eva muttered.

She kicked him in the most sensitive place any guy could get kicked and went back to her room. She sat on her bed and looked up at the ceiling. The letters were still there.

'Funny, I thought I'd told him where I'd put them,' she muttered.

She shrugged. Must have been time that made him forget. Or something else. She didn't care anyway.

Tears built up in her eyes. She still did really like Aikka. It wasn't much but he had meant a lot to her. Everyone had thought she had gotten over him but she hadn't. She had tried convincing herself. It wouldn't work.

'Eva?' Naomi appeared at the door.

'What? If you want me to apologise to that…'

'No I don't want you to forgive Jordan. Ned came and gave me this to give to you. It arrived after you went to him earlier back,' Naomi handed Eva a brown envelope.

'Thanks,' Eva smiled.

'Don't mention it. I'll leave you alone. I think I need to go and tell Jordan there is no way in this lifetime you will ever forgive him for that,' Naomi replied.

'How true,' Eva muttered.

Naomi left Eva all alone.

Eva looked at the envelope. Who was it from? Her dad? Ha, ha, ha. Eva quickly chucked that idea away.

She opened the envelope very carefully. It wasn't anything special. She knew it.

It was a letter. Eva slowly unfolded it and did the only thing she could do. She read it to herself.

'Hi. This is really awkward for me to do this. If I get caught…actually I don't care if I'm caught. It's just that I wanted to talk to you. Even if it looks like it is just another letter. So how are you Eva?'

'Oh my god! Aikka!' Eva whispered excitedly.

She ran with the letter because she needed to show someone. As soon as Naomi was in her sight, Eva grinned.

'Naomi!' she shouted.

Naomi spun around and smiled. She walked up to Eva.

'Yeah, what is it?' she asked.

'It's…it's…' Eva whispered who it was in Naomi's ear.

Naomi's eyes widened and she looked at the first part of the letter too. She then hugged Eva.

'You are right! You can read the rest of that letter! I am going to distract the teacher and Jordan so that they both don't find out, ok?' Naomi smiled.

'Thank you!' Eva yelled.

She then went running back into her room. She shut the door and began reading the rest of the letter.

'A lot of things have changed since I last wrote. Like the Crogs. They came. And made that pathetic alliance. I'm so sorry if it really hurt you. I didn't even know until Canaan came back,' the letter then said.

Eva couldn't believe it. Aikka hadn't even known until Canaan came back. No one had ever thought that maybe telling him was a good idea.

'The bastards,' she whispered.

'I don't even like Crogs. Canaan can't seem to stand them either. He said you were really upset when he left. He said there was no warning at all. Which must have been painful. It was horrible when I got told I couldn't contact you ever again,' it then said.

'No wonder you're going to be in deep shit if they find out. They have no clue what's going on…' Eva smirked.

So the Prince was still kind of rebellious. Still breaking rules. Which was a plus for Eva in any case. She was really happy that he did this for her though. I mean he didn't really know her! But how…

'I guess you are wondering how this got to you? If it did. Well, postage has been tight but they have started to let people send mail. But not the royal family. I thought this was really unfair. It sucked. One of my friends said he'd send them for me and receive them from you and give them to you. I hope he didn't read this…' the letter went on.

Eva giggled.

She was glad that Aikka had found a way to contact her. That he'd actually remembered her. She thought she'd never see his soft writing again.

The rest of the letter had the address for his friend. Eva thought he was kidding. He was risking it. What would happen if he was caught? But maybe he didn't care…

'Eva, I think I may just…forget it. I want you to write back. And also, Kensei, send that god damn letter already! Eva, please write back. I will be waiting. Love, Aikka,' it finished.

Eva dropped the letter.

'Love…' she smiled happily.

She hid the letter quickly under her clothes in her drawer and went back to Naomi's party. Eva was blushing and she didn't even care when someone made a bitchy comment about her smile.

'God, what the fuck is wrong with you? You would have used your sword if you were not smiling like nothing mattered anymore. Shit, are you in…' the girl gagged.

Eva quickly scowled.

'What are you talking about? Or course I'm not in fucking…stuff. Me? Yeah, you would sooner see…'

'These?' the teacher smirked.

She was holding all of the other letters.

'Son of a…' Eva gasped.

'I found them on the ceiling in your room. They will be burned immediately. And if we find anymore, they will be burned too,' the teacher told Eva.

Eva pretended to scowl.

But they hadn't found the new one. And she was going to make sure that she always kept contact. Until the day came when she could visit Nurasia.

And make sure people like Jordan never found that out.
