Eve's eyes widened dramatically as she realised Gary Smith was actually kissing her. A large blush had now crept across her cheeks and her eyes automatically fluttered shut. She had no idea what to do. She didn't know whether to shove Gary away, or to just accept the kiss. In the end, she just stood there, feeling quite awkward as she timidly allowed herself to kiss him back.
She could feel Gary smirking into the kiss, and it didn't surprise her. After all, Gary was almost always smirking.
As Gary pulled away, Eve found herself biting her lip nervously, her face bright red from embarrassment.
"Aw, is little Evie blushing?" Gary cooed, pinching her cheek gently, chuckling as she blushed even more.
"That was kinda sudden," Eve said, referring to the kiss. Gary just shrugged, still smirking widely.
"You know you enjoyed it," Gary said cockily. "Don't try and deny it,"
Eve just raised her eyebrows, and smiled faintly at him.
"You wanna know something, little Evie?" Gary leaned forward, so his face was just inches away from Eve's. "I enjoyed it too," He then caught her lips in a short, but rough kiss, before he turned away and ran after Jimmy and Petey, who were now heading towards the fountain.
Eve just stood there, staring after him, feeling slightly dazed, as she just turned round and headed back to the girls dorm in complete shock, not really aware of what she was doing.
She'd just had her first ever kiss. Even better, she'd just had her first ever kiss with Gary. Eve had never really realised how strong her feelings for Gary were, until now. She was surprised at how sudden the kiss had been. She'd always known that Gary wasn't really afraid to say or do what he wanted, but she'd never expected him to just randomly kiss her. In fact, she had no idea that he liked her in that way. Eve could be pretty oblivious at times.
As Eve continued to walk towards the girl's dorm, a glassy look in her eyes, she ignored the chaos of stink bombs, marbles, itching powder and firecrackers that were being flung around. She was still dazed from the kiss, it had been so unexpected.
Pushing open the doors, she stepped into the girl's dormitory, the warmth welcoming her. She smiled at nothing in particular, as she drifted up the stairs, paying no attention to her surroundings, ignoring the few girls who had stayed in the dormitory as they laughed at her panda costume.
Once in her dorm room, Eve flopped on her bed, a dreamy look on her face as she stared down at the floor, a faint smile on her face as she thought about the events that had just happened. She was just in sheer and utter surprise from the kiss. She would never have believed for Gary to do something like that, and yet, just a few minutes ago, he did.
The next morning, Eve groaned as she slowly opened her eyes, wincing slightly at the extremely bright light blinded her for a moment and from the painful click in her neck. She'd been sleeping in a weird position, with her head hanging off the bed and her feet planted firmly against the wall, so her bones were now slightly stiff.
She sighed heavily as she noticed she'd fallen asleep in her panda costume, and quickly she pulled it off, pleased that she had decided last night to keep her now slightly creased school uniform on underneath the awful, humiliating costume.
As she started to remember last night's events, Eve couldn't help but smile. She jumped slightly though as a thud came from her window, and as she looked out, she spotted Petey standing outside the girl's dorm, staring up at her with a rather desperate look on his face. Eve knew immediately that something was wrong, so as she dashed out the room, she couldn't help but feel extremely worried. Petey must have needed help desperately, as Eve knew he wouldn't usually venture over to the girls dorm, unless he had an important reason.
Brushing past Eunice Pound, who had been hovering by the entrance, Eve pushed open the doors of the girl's dorm, hurrying down the steps to Petey, who looked slightly relived when he saw her, but still very anxious.
"Petey, what's wrong?" Eve asked, as soon as she reached him.
"You have to come quickly! Jimmy's gonna fight Russell! It's all Gary's fault!" Petey exclaimed a panicky look on his face as he started to hurry away, indicating for Eve to follow him.
"Wait, what!" Eve demanded, hurrying after Petey, a look of utter confusion on her face.
"Quick! We don't have time! Russell is probably gonna beat Jimmy's brains out all because of Gary! He's such a jerk!" Petey explained, almost running now.
"I don't understand! Why are they fighting? And what has all of it got to do with Gary?" Eve questioned. She had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. A very bad feeling.
"He set it all up! He was just using Jimmy," Petey said, hurrying down some steps that led to the schools basement. "He just wants the school,"
Eve followed Petey, feeling extremely grim. "Why though? Who would want this dump?"
Petey just broke into a run as they entered a dirty looking room, which had switches and what looked like water tanks all over.
"Petey! Wait up! I haven't ran this much since the time the ice cream man left without giving me my ice cream!" Eve called, panting slightly as she hurried to catch up with Petey.
She couldn't help but feel relived as Petey stopped running, but she felt extremely anxious as she heard a lot of shouting, and as she reached Petey, she just stood there in shock.
Students were crowded round a large hole in the ground, which had a cage around it, apart from one section which had a ladder. In the large hole were two boys, Jimmy and Russell, and they were both furiously fighting each other.
Eve eyes moved to the boy who was standing in front of her and Petey, and her stomach felt like it had dropped as she saw that it was Gary, with a large, maniacal grin on his face. Eve looked at him in utter disbelief, shocked that he could just stand there and watch his friend fight a boy twice the size of him. Her attention was soon drawn away from Gary though, as the crowd started to cheer even louder than they had been before.
Eve winced, as she saw Jimmy fall to the ground as Russell hit him forcefully, and she was surprised to see that Jimmy jumped back up almost straight away, as though the hit had not hurt him one bit.
As the fight continued, Eve got more and more anxious, and soon she was almost biting her lip off as she chewed it nervously, her eyes darting between Russell and Jimmy.
She felt slightly more relived as she saw that Jimmy was starting to gain the upper hand, as he continued to beat a very dazed looking Russell.
Finally, Russell fell to the dirty ground of the hole as Jimmy delivered the final punch.
Despite the fact that Jimmy hadn't gotten hurt, she still had an anxious look on her face, as she turned to Gary who was now chuckling to himself, smirking that cocky smirk of his.
"You happy now, jerk?" Jimmy demanded, as he glared up at Gary.
"Ecstatic! I love watching two morons beat the crap out of each other!" Gary exclaimed, grinning manically.
"Why'd you do it, Gary! I thought we were friends!" Jimmy exclaimed angrily, as Gary just chuckled, glancing around at everyone, before turning to Jimmy again.
"Friends? You and me? I've taken dumps that had more brains than you, friend. No, I'm taking over the school, and you're just a liability!" Gary said, turning to walk away. "See you around moron!"
Eve stood there for a few minutes, watching all the other students drift away one by one, before she decided to go and confront Gary.
She turned round and started to run in the direction Gary had went, determined to find him and demand an explanation.
As she caught up with him she slowed to a walk, glaring at the back of his head.
"Hey!" She called, placing a hand on Gary's shoulder, turning him round to face her. "What the hell Gary?"
"Oh, it's you. What do you want, little Evie?" Gary smirked.
"Don't call me little Evie! What the hell was that! Why'd you do that! Why betray Jimmy!" Eve demanded, glaring at Gary angrily.
"Ooh, someone's feeling feisty," Gary mocked, sneering at her. Eve just stood her ground, glaring up at him.
"Shut up and answer the question!" Eve felt slightly surprised by the forcefulness of her voice. Never before had she sounded so fierce.
"You already know why, little Evie! Didn't you just hear what I said back there?" Gary replied, now returning the glare. "I'm taking over the school, and no one is gonna stop me!"
Eve stared at Gary, her eyes searching his. "Well everyone knows your plan now! They'll have to be extremely dumb to trust you!"
"Don't you get it, Evie? This school is just full of brainless morons!" Gary said, smirking again.
"So, you decided to use Jimmy to get what you wanted?" Eve demanded. "You know what, Gary Smith? You make me sick! Beatrice was right! You are crazy! You're a psychotic mess!"
Eve yelped as Gary grabbed her, pushing her against the nearest wall, his hands pinning her shoulders, stopping her from wriggling free.
"Don't you ever speak to me like that!" Gary growled, a look of pure fury on his face. "You're just like the rest of the morons at this school! You're nothing!"
Eve glared at him angrily, but didn't say a word. She felt quite scared right now, she thought that Gary was going to hit her or something, but instead he let her go and stepped back, his expression turning to normal again.
"So, you've got a choice, little Evie. You're either on my side, or Jimmy's side," Gary smirked, crossing his arms over his chest as he stared intently at Eve.
"You can't do that Gary! Jimmy's my friend, and despite the fact that right now I hate you, you're my friend too," Eve glared down at the floor.
"Well, you're going to have to choose sooner or later, little Evie. Don't keep me waiting," Gary said, before turning round and walking away, a large smirk on his face once again.
Eve just stood there, watching him as he headed out the basement. She felt confused. Though she knew it would be better for her if she sided with Jimmy, she didn't want to leave Gary. She didn't want to betray Jimmy, but she didn't want to betray Gary either. She honestly didn't know what to do anymore.
