Love is blind

chapter 6

A new friend?

Eve's P.O.V

I don't believe it. I'm in this empty lunch-room and spot a boy I'd never think would ever be anywhere so early.

''Pika-boy!?'' I yell out loud. I startle him as he jolts up from his book reading. I slowly approach him while he stares at me with a look of grief.

''So, the new girl is my next student..'' He says closing his book and stretching as he sat at the table. Wow, this guy, someone who is practically lazy in every class I've seen him in, actually does something practical?

''Well, speak-up. Your here for tutoring, yes?'' He says, motioning me to sit next to him. I slowly place my back pack down and sit next to him. I pull out my books and tell him about my math test. Instantly, he started explaining it to me and it started clicking in my head. I stared in amazement as he broke each element down from problem to problem. He seems like a totally different person, compared to who I see during school...

''Why pretend to be an idiot when, your so smart?'' I say out loud. Oops, it kind of just slipped out of my tongue. He sighed and looked at me.

''It would ruin my street cred. Especially with Els, he's my best friend. My only friend at this school...'' It was bare, but he whispered that last sentence. I felt kind of bad for him when I heard that. Yet, if he is Elsword's best friend then, why hide this? Friends don't keep secrets from each other, right? I then think back about the friends I ever had. It didn't take long to think about, the number is zero.

Unless you count my sister, Oberon and Ophelia. Then, that's a total of three. I scratch my head of the thought. So what if I never had friends! I broke our silent thinking by asking him of the next problem. Yet, after that, I felt this odd tension between us. So off, his voice turned monotone. Could, I do anything?

''Um, Chung?'' I ask. He stops talking and looks at me. His eyes, filled with sadness. Just like Elsword's were the other day. Does everyone around here have mood swings? ''If, you wanted to talk about it, I..Don't mind hearing you out..'' I say, rubbing my shoulder and looking away. For a moment, I hear silence. I slowly look up at him, he continues staring, only the look is soft and tender. I cleared my throat which knocked him out of his trans.

He blinked and slightly smiled.

''Sure.'' He said softly. Then continued speaking equations.

Last session

After a few days of tutoring, I thought I would never learn. Yet, Chung has been my guardian angel to guide me in learning. I feel so ready for that test! Today is my last session with him in the lunchroom. I sit, looking down at the books and back at him as he smiled after each question I would get right. He looks kind of cute, when he's not being a jerk. Idiot. Am I sure this is the same guy?

''Hey, Chung?''

He looks up and I give him a smile.

''Thank you. I know your probably annoyed by me, but I actually understand math more because of you.'' He chuckles lightly.

''Glad to hear it.'' He says, packing away his books. I do the same, knowing that class will start soon. After the tables all cleaned from books and papers, I stretched and yawned. I heard a sigh from Chung, causing me to look at him. He seemed sad again, like he was the first day we studied together. I slowly placed my hands on the table and looked at him, as if on que, knowing he would start to speak.

''Eve, remember when...you said if I wanted to talk about anything? Well, I kind of do...'' I motioned him to go on and he sighed deeply, dangling his head to the floor.

''Well, the reason I'm such a jerk, is because of Elsword. Me and him, we go way back. Back to sand-box and booger picking. Believe it or not, he wasn't always like that. Picking on people and acting out, getting into trouble. It's been recent, more or less. I didn't want to loose my buddy, so when things happen, I act with him. Cause that's what friends do.'' He says. He sighs, the sound of relief, as if a tall weight has been lifted off his shoulder.

I scratch my head in confusion. As much as I want to believe Chung, I still don't trust him, or Elsword. I'm still not understanding what he's trying to say and why tell me all this? I slowly stand up and he jolts up, looking at me.

''I, don't get what your trying to say but... thank you for sharing,'' I hold my head up to him and give him a big smile. ''You feel better now, right?'' I say. I then think to my self. What's happened to me having a hard-core personality? Am, I becoming soft as I stay at this school? Without hearing his answer, I bring down my smile and hang my head down. I turn around and start walking towards the lunch room exit.

''Eve! Wait,'' I hear Chung say. I quickly turn back around, seeing...loneliness in his eyes. Is, he sad because I'm leaving? ''Think your ready?'' I nod in response.

''You bet!'' I say with my poker face on. We say good bye and I walk out of the cafeteria. Yet, I couldn't help but look back one last time. He was still sulking!

''Hey um,'' I yell. He looks up at me, with those cerulean blue eyes. They look so calm, beautiful and empty. Swirling with emotions.

''I, might need you again so please, don't loose your smile over me!'' I yell. He forms a smile, big and true and gives me a thumbs up. He sais 'Ok' as softly as ever as I walk out the door. Guess, in some bazar reason, were friends now? Great...

Eve's P.O.V

Good news! I totally aced the math test. I didn't even miss a single question! Ok, that might not be true, but I felt I like it was! I hum joyfully as I look over my lines. I talk aloud as I sit in the theater seats, watching everyone set up. That dummy Elsword, looks annoyed having to lift props around, Yet pikaboy- I mean Chung, looks actually happy. Aisha and Ara listen to Raven as they test sound check around the theater. I sigh as I sit in the theater seat. I know, I should be helping, but I'm taking a break instead.

''Gah! I cant wait till everything is set!'' Yelled Miss Ranger. She held a megaphone and was giving instructions. She walked around and spotted me in the seats.

''Eve! Your dress just came in from the costume department. Can you try it on in the back?'' She asked. I sighed and nodded. I sat-up and just in an instant, she grabbed my hand and practically dragged me to the backstage dressing room. She pulled out a trunk in the room and opened it. Inside was, a white suit?

''Miss Ranger,'' I say as she hands it to me. ''This is, supposed to be a dress?'' She nodded.

''It needs a bit of tweaking but it's mostly a final product! Go on, try it on!'' She says, shooing me with her hands. I look at her and look back at the white suit. It did look pretty, having a blue diamond shine on the top. Yet, I really didn't want to try it on. Can't I just say no? I mentally sigh knowing the answer. Of course I can't. I walk behind the screen dresser and change into the white suit.

Placing my jeans and shirt ontop of the screen, I slowly walk out. ''How do I look?'' I ask, zipping up the boots to my legs. She suddenly forms tears in her eyes. Did I look that bad?

''You look beautiful! So Angelic~! How it shines with the ruffles at the ends of the sleeve's! Oh, and it's hanging low cape bottom!'' She squealed and hugged me. I gasped from her powerful hug, gosh! I slowly patted her on the back. She quickly let go.

''I'm sorry, I'm just so excited. Within a week I'll be hosting this schools play. Not to mention it being my first year here, I want to make a great impression!'' She says, practically in sniffles. She backs away and smiles.

''Ok, you can take that off now. Oh and I'm adding your solo in soon. You can sing right?'' Me? Well..

''I, guess...''

''Great~!''

She turns to her purse and pulled out a sheet of music, handing it to me. It read..

''Only Hope by Mandy Moore?'' I say. She nods.

''It's from a movie called 'A walk to remember'. God I love that movie...'' She said, dream fully.

''Should I watch this movie?'' I ask. I don't know why really, It's not like I can watch it or anything. Not having those type of electronics in my house. That stuff was pawned! Her eyes suddenly sparkled.

''Oh! Yes, yes! Here!'' She pulls a DVD out of her purse and gives it to me. ''It's the movie.'' She keeps it with her? Gee, I wonder does she have a player for it.

''Oh, do you have a player? Cause, if not-'' *BAM* She pulls out a portable DVD player also! I didn't expect that. She slowly placed the two things in my hands. Wish I was this helpful.

''Treat these things kindly. There both classics and mean the world to me!''

''Yes ma'am.'' I clutch the things tightly in my hands and walk away.

''Oh and when we run the entire play, don't sing it yet until the real thing actually starts.''

''Uh, ok.''

After that, she walked up to the stage and dismissed us. I practically sprint to my things, pack up everything in my backpack and quickly run out, trying to avoid you know who. I make my way out to the side walk. I quickly look around, seeing the other kids leaving. Good, he's not here. I sigh and start to walk.

''Oh, were arth thow be going without me, my lady?'' That, voice. I mentally curse in my head. When did he spot me? I quickly spun around and glared at him. He only shot me a big grin. I roll my eyes and continue walking. He eventually starts walking beside me and speaks his lines, ugh.

''So tell me fairest maiden, arth thow tellith me thy wonder that said teacher bestowed upon you?'' I blink twice while trying to comprehend what he just said.

''What?''

''What did Mrs. R give you?'' I scoff.

''None of your business!'' He then huffed and placed his hands behind his head, now looking straight ahead.

''Fine, I didn't want to know anyway.'' He said, sounding so irritated. Ha! He wants to know so badly, he looks kind of handsome in the sunset glow. Why did I just think that?! I shake off the thought and facepalm. I feel him give me that usual dark glare. Yet, he doesn't question me. With silence for only a few minutes, we pass the bakery. Good, he'll stop following me.

I sigh in relief as I hear the bakery door open. Without looking I know he's going inside. I start to hum to myself in peace, now walking alone. Yet, that feeling comes up, someone is still beside me...

''Arth thow not coming to steal bread?'' I quickly look beside me, he's still here?!

''Idiot! Why are you still walking near me?''

''Why not?'' He said with a sly smile.

''Quit following me!'' I punch his stomach and ran. Ha! I'd like to see him try and catch-up!

Elsword's P.O.V

There she goes again. I rub my stomach, Of course I didn't feel any pain. I sigh in relief. At least her punches aren't as powerful as her slap(When there not combined). I open the door and walk in, steel feeling her warmth of the punch. I shrug the feeling off and think happily to myself. I really got under her skin today. Ha, she's so funny, and cute. I quickly slap myself in the face. Hold-up! Nuh-uh! I'm not even goanna think of her like that, cause, I don't like her like that...

God, I can't wait till this play stuff is over with and done. Stupid Romeo part. I think about it as I sweep up the shop. Guess it will be kind of fun to fight Chung. Heh, an epic battle no doubt. Yet, on top of it all, I might have to kiss...

I drop the broom and cup my mouth. I've never kissed another girl before, and I know my sister doesn't count as one! Yet, maybe she can give me some advice, If I might have to kiss a her on stage? I shake my head, what am I thinking? That little thief doesn't even count as a girl!

*Swoosh*

I feel a sudden chill in the air. Feeling the presence of someone.

''Elsword...'' It's her...I slowly turn around to see my sis giving me an evil glare.

''W-what's up sis?'' I say casually. She only stands in silence. This tense freighting air between us. Did she read my mind? ''Is, something wrong?'' I ask. She raises her hand and pulls me up to her height.

''You little brat!'' She pulls out her blades that she keeps with her while at the bakery and aimed at me. ''How DARE you think such a thing!'' She started swinging and I started running. ''If you want my advice, it's goanna take more than an apology to get it from me!'' CRAP! Completely forgot about that telepathy thing. It kicks in at the messed-up of times!

(A/N) - Yay~! Oh and I love that movie! If you haven't seen it before, it's a real tear jerker. Cry every time I see it. Q~Q and yeah, I kind of just threw in that telepathy thing. Please Judge me! :D Reviews are welcomed~! :3
