Eve smiled as a few moments later she skipped through the doors and entered the girl's dorm, still clutching the white, fluffy teddy in her hand. She'd had a really fun night with Gary, and he'd been really sweet, but Eve was a little confused, as yet again he'd practically ran away from her. But at least this time he actually said goodbye before running off, though it still made her feel a little suspicious.

Eve squeaked in shock as she bumped into Beatrice on her way up the stairs towards her room, Beatrice doing the same, obviously shocked by Eve's sudden appearance.

"Oh, Eve, you scared me to death!" Beatrice said shakily, clutching her heart as if she was about to collapse.

"Sorry, Bea," Eve smiled apologetically.

"Its fine," Beatrice grinned widely. "So, I take it you've just gotten back?"

"Yeah, I was at the carnival," Eve said happily, her smile growing even bigger.

"Ooh, that sounds nice," Beatrice exclaimed. "Who were you with?"

"Oh, just with Jimmy-"Eve started, but was interrupted by Beatrice letting out a loud dreamy sigh, and Eve swore she heard her mutter 'Oh Jimmy…' or something along those lines.

"Yeah, Jimmy, Pete and Gary," Eve finished, feeling confused as the dreamy look on Beatrice's face dropped at the mention of Gary.

"Gary! Gary Smith!" Beatrice demanded, looking nervous.

"Uh…yeah…what's so strange about that?" Eve asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Oh dear…" Beatrice muttered, looking worried. "Don't you know? He's a sociopath! A psycho! He's crazy!" Beatrice was starting to sound very hysterical now for some reason.

"Beatrice, I'm sure he isn't," Eve said, staring at Beatrice sceptically. She thought it was a little mean of Beatrice to talk about Gary like that. He wasn't that bad, in fact he could actually be very nice, which he had proven when he had gotten the teddy bear for Eve.

"He has ADD," Beatrice whispered, looking around as if she had just told Eve something top secret.

"So what?" Eve snorted, shrugging. "It doesn't mean he's crazy,"

Beatrice looked at Eve in shock, obviously she didn't agree with what Eve had just said.

"But he is crazy! Ask anyone! I heard Pinky say that he likes torturing people!" Beatrice said, pushing her glasses up the bridge of her nose, her eyes widening.

"I'm pretty sure he isn't crazy, Bea. I mean, he's seems alright to me. He's actually very nice," Eve reasoned, refusing to believe Gary was crazy. Even though she admitted he was a little strange, she found it ridiculous that people thought he was crazy. Gary was far from crazy, he was just a little different, that's all.

"He called Grottos and Gremlins stupid! Of course he is crazy," Beatrice insisted.

"Bea, he is not crazy. I refuse to believe it! If he was crazy I think I would have figured it out by now. Sure he may have ADD, but that doesn't mean he is crazy," Eve sighed, shaking her head slightly.

"Well…just be careful when hanging round him! I'd hate for anything to happen," Beatrice said, looking slightly anxious. Eve smiled gratefully.

"I'll be fine Bea," She said, shrugging. "Now, I think I'd better head off to bed. I'm really tired,"

"Okay, Eve. But I'm serious, be careful around Gary. He's not right,"


Eve had payed no attention at all to what Beatrice had said. Surely if Gary was crazy she would have figured it out by now. After all, Eve wasn't stupid, and she was sure that if Gary was crazy, she would have managed to guess. But the fact was, Gary wasn't crazy. Well, he didn't seem to be crazy, and Eve refused to even consider that fact.

Eve sighed heavily, stepping out the girl's dorm, her eyes falling straight on her roommate, Sky, who was sitting on the steps beside two boys in leather jackets and slicked hair, who she recognised as Johnny Vincent and Peanut Romano.

Sky turned round and grinned as she spotted Eve, who smiled back shyly at her.

"Hey Eve," Sky waved at Eve, her grin growing wider.

"Hi Sky," Eve replied, feeling uncomfortable as she noticed that Peanut was staring at her intently. She hated it when people stared at her. It just made her feel incredibly awkward.

"Where you heading?" Sky asked.

"I'm just going to see Gary, Jimmy and Petey," Eve answered. She had started calling Pete Petey now, it had sort of stuck from the many times she'd heard Gary call him that.

"Cool. Well, see you later," Sky gave Eve a small wave as Eve started to walk off, flashing Sky one last smile.

Eve had decided to visit Gary, Jimmy and Petey this morning, when Beatrice had suggested she join a game of Grottos and Gremlins, so Eve had made up an excuse that she was going to hang with the guys, and in the end she decided to actually go and visit them. So it wasn't really an excuse after all.

Eve smiled to herself as she noticed Jimmy standing outside of the boy's dorm, leaning against the wall and glancing around casually, the usual bored expression on his freckly face.

"Hey Jimmy," Eve greeted, smiling as she came to a stop in front of him.

"Hey, Eve," He replied, nodding at her. "Doing anything cool tonight?"

Eve stared at him in confusion, her raising her eyebrows slightly.

"What's happening tonight?" She questioned, staring at Jimmy intently, wondering if she'd missed something important, as Jimmy stared at her as if she was crazy.

"It's Halloween!" He stated, just as the boys dorm doors swung open and out came Gary and Petey, and as usual, Gary was bullying poor Petey.

"Ah, there you are, little Evie!" Gary exclaimed, his eyes flashing when he saw Eve.

Eve noticed the sly smirk on his face, and she couldn't help but feel extremely suspicious. Gary was up to something. She knew it. And she was sure she wasn't going to like whatever he had planned.

"So, you're gonna be hanging with us on tonight," He stated, which made Eve feel a little taken aback. She'd never said she would hang around with them on Halloween, she didn't even know it was Halloween until Jimmy had reminded her.

"I dunno, Gary," She said, glancing at Jimmy and Petey who were now slowly walking away. They had obviously forgotten about Eve and Gary, despite the fact that they had been standing next to them just a few seconds ago.

"Come on, little Evie, it'll be fun!" Gary insisted, his smirk growing wider.

Eve hesitated, before shaking her head. "I think I'd rather stay inside…"

Gary's smirk slid from his face, and was replaced by an angry frown, which startled Eve quite a bit, especially when he roughly grabbed her wrist, squeezing it painfully.

"Look, you do as I say, got it?" He snapped his face now dangerously close to Eve's, who was now looking at him with round, fearful eyes. She was startled by his sudden change in mood, and she was wondering if what Beatrice had said was right.

"G-got it," Eve muttered, staring into Gary's eyes nervously, feeling slightly worried as Gary continued to scowl at her angrily.

Gary paused, before letting go of her wrist, which was starting to bruise slightly, and just like that, he turned back to his usual smirking self.

"So, I got a great Halloween costume for you, Evie," Gary said, smirking widely.

Eve just stared at him, still in shock from his little outburst of anger before. She'd never known anyone to behave like that, and it scared her slightly.

"Evie? I know I'm hot and all but there's no need to stare," Gary said, in a cocky sort of voice, a smug grin on his face.

"Shut up, Gary," Eve muttered, looking down at the ground, a slight blush on her cheeks.

"What?" Gary's voice sounded menacing again.

"Nothing. It's nothing," Eve said quickly, before he could grab her again. He had really hurt her wrist before, which was quite obvious due to the bruises that were forming on her skin.

"So, come to the boy's dorm tonight. You'll love your costume," Gary chuckled to himself in a slightly maniacal way.

"Gary, what kind of costume is it?" Eve asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.

"Oh, don't worry, little Evie, I can guarantee you'll go crazy over it…"


Well, Gary was right about one thing, Eve had gone crazy over it, but not in a good way. The moment she saw it she had freaked out, shouting at the top of her voice that she was not under any circumstances going to wear it.

But, a few minutes later she was standing in Jimmy's dorm room, glaring angrily at the three of them as she positioned her costume.

"Guys, this is humiliating!" She said, shooting an angry glare at Gary who had a triumphant smirk plastered on his face.

He was lucky; his costume wasn't humiliating like Eve's. He had dressed up as a Nazi Officer. Jimmy on the other hand had dressed up in a skeleton costume, which looked pretty cool. Well, cooler than poor Petey's, who had been forced by Gary to wear a bubblegum pink rabbit costume.

But Eve's costume was much more embarrassing than Petey's, well, for her it was. In fact, Eve had no idea how Gary had managed to convince her to try it on in the first place.

Eve was dressed in a panda costume, and like Petey's, it was a onesie, which had been designed to look like a panda's fur, and had a hood on it, with had fake panda ears and big glass beads that were meant to be eyes on the top of the hood.

"I think it's cute," Gary said, smirking at Eve. He was obviously enjoying her sheer humiliation.

"I can't go outside like this!" Eve insisted, tweaking the hood of her costume indignantly, choosing to ignore Gary's last comment. "People are just gonna laugh at me!"

"Oh stop being a baby!" Gary said. "Besides, little Evie, I think you look adorable," He patted the top of her hood, smirking as she pouted and crossed her arms over her chest in a stubborn manner.

"You look like a little kid when you do that, especially in that panda costume," Jimmy pointed out, looking slightly bored with the whole situation, though Eve noticed he had an amused glint in his eyes. He obviously found Eve's costume funny.

Eve looked at Petey, who was extremely silent as usual. He was visibly embarrassed by his costume too, but he didn't seem be to protesting against wearing the pink bunny costume.

"Look, Evie, if you wont come then I'll just have to drag you," Gary said, grabbing her wrist and pulling her out of the room, with Jimmy and Petey following.

"No! Gary! Come on! You can't do this!" Eve tried to pull her wrist out of Gary's grip, blushing as she heard a few chuckles from the boys who were hanging round in the boy's dorm.

Gary just ignored her plea's, and instead dragged her outside, his smirk growing wider and wider by the minute.

As they stepped outside, a boy who Eve recognised as Pedro ran up to them, an eager look on his face.

"Hey, do you thank you can help me?" He asked, mainly addressing Jimmy, holding out a kick me sign to him. "Stick this on someone!"

And then, just like that he ran off, and excited grin on his face.

Eve turned to look at Jimmy, who shrugged and stuck it on a boy named Gordon Wakefield, who just happened to be passing Jimmy.

Gordon, completely unaware of the kick me sign on his back, was immediately crowded by random students, who gave him a good kick before running off. Eve would have felt sympathetic for Gordon, if he was a nice person, but he wasn't. He had the habit of spreading false rumours around about people, and seemed very arrogant and self-absorbed.

So Eve couldn't help but smile slightly as Gordon ran away, screaming loudly, a few students following him, desperate to give him a good kick.

"I hope they hurt him," Gary said, a twisted smirk on his face, which made Eve blink in astonishment. Even though Eve thought the whole kick me sign situation was funny, she would never hope for someone to get hurt, so she was a bit shocked when Gary said this. After all, it wasn't everyday you met someone who thought that people getting extremely hurt was funny.

Jimmy just sighed, before running off with Petey, Gary and Eve following close behind. Eve had no idea where they were going, but she thought it would be better if she just kept her mouth shut and followed them, after all, if she wandered off on her own she would most likely be bombarded by stink bombs and firecrackers, due to the crazy behaviour of the students.

They were all pretty excited, as all the prefects were at a party, and the teachers were entertaining the kids, which meant the students could do whatever they wanted, and so had resorted to throwing various weapons at innocent passers-by.

Eve, not paying attention to where she was going, bumped into Gary, who had stopped abruptly. She grabbed onto his arm and regained her balance, blushing as he smirked down at her.

"Eager there, aren't we, little Evie?" He asked mockingly, which made Eve frown slightly.

She opened her mouth to tell Gary to shut up, but was interrupted by a deafening bang which made her jump in shock, her grip on Gary's arm tightening as she looked round, her eyes widening slightly as she spotted the source of the noise. Bucky, the nerd, was holding some type of launcher which was firing firecrackers, and by the looks of it he had just shot a firecracker at a one of the bullies, who was now struggling to get up from the ground, a dazed look on his now slightly scorched face.

As the bully managed to get to his feet, he was immediately bombarded with more firecrackers, and for some reason, a banana.

Jimmy, who had been watching the whole thing, laughed loudly, before throwing a firecracker into the crowd of nerds, making them tumble to the ground as it exploded, some of them crying out in pain. Eve felt a wash of sympathy for them as she stared down at Algie, who was sprawled out on the ground, sobbing loudly, his glasses lying a few feet away from him, cracked and bent at a weird angle.

"Aw, is Evie upset because her little boyfriend is hurt?" Gary mocked in a baby voice, chuckling to himself.

"Gary. Algie is not my boyfriend." Eve said through gritted teeth, balling her hands up.

Gary just snickered, his smirk even wider, which made Eve glare at him angrily. Oh how she would have loved to hit him, it would surely wipe that stupid smirk off his face.

Instead, Eve just rolled her eyes, and brushed past him, following Jimmy and Petey who were now running towards the fountain, before turning right and heading towards Harrington House.

Eve yelped as Gary grabbed her wrist and spun her round roughly, pulling her against his body, making Eve blush slightly. Looking up at Gary her eyes widened as his face inched towards hers.

And then, he kissed her.
