(A/N) So I finally got round to updating! I've been busy revising for my GCSE exams and stuff, so sorry for not updating this soon. I have a lot more drama coming up in the next few chapters...sorta. Anyways, I hope you like it, and sorry if it's a bit bad, I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing! As usual reviews are greatly appreciated and constructive criticism is also greatly appreciated! Oh, and thanks for the reviews by the way! Hope you enjoy!
Eve had barely left her room since the fight in the hole, which had taken place a few days ago. In fact, she'd only left the dormitory to attend her classes, and even then she avoided talking to anyone. The only people she'd spoken to was her new roommate Dannii, and Sky. Other than that she had been successful in avoiding everyone else.
She still felt extremely confused. She knew that sooner or later Gary was going to make her choose a side, he was going to make her choose between him or Jimmy, and Eve didn't know what to do.
Sighing, Eve rested her head on her desk, her brows furrowing as she realised she was starting to get a headache. She felt really stressed, and it was all Gary's fault. If he hadn't of used Jimmy, and made him fight Russell, then Eve wouldn't have to try and decide if she was on Gary's side or Jimmy's side. She knew what Gary had done was wrong, but every time she thought about siding with Jimmy, she remembered how Gary had kissed her on Halloween.
Eve let out another sigh as she stood up, deciding that maybe she needed some fresh air to help clear her head.
She soon regretted this decision though, because as soon as she set foot outside she was immediately approached by Jimmy.
"Hey! Eve, where you been? I haven't seen you for ages," Jimmy said, glancing at her suspiciously.
"I know…I've just been feeling tired, that's all," Eve sighed, running a hand through her hair. "What have you been up to?"
Jimmy shrugged. "Those rich kids have been giving me a little bit of trouble,"
"Oh, I hate those guys," Eve said, "They're so mean,"
"Well, I'd better be going, I got a date with Pinky," Jimmy said, looking pleased with himself.
"Good luck with that," Eve smiled, knowing that Pinky was probably going to force Jimmy to treat her like a princess. Apparently Jimmy had the same thought, as he grimaced slightly as he waved goodbye to Eve, before heading off for his date.
Eve shook her head, smiling to herself as she started to head to the library, deciding to make a start on some of her homework. The only teacher that ever seemed to give homework was Mr. Hattrick, which wasn't surprising as he probably was the most horrible teacher at Bullworth, and that was saying something, as a lot of the teachers at Bullworth were pretty mean.
As she headed towards the library, she was stopped by someone grabbing her wrist and roughly turning her around.
Eve's eyes widened as she saw that it was Gary who had stopped her, she felt very scared, as he looked absolutely livid.
"So, you chose your side, huh?" He snarled, his grip on her wrist tightening.
"What?" Eve asked, staring up at him in shock.
"Don't play dumb! I saw you talking to Jimmy!" Gary's eyes narrowed, "Remember Eve, I see everything! I hear everything!"
Eve glanced around, surprised to find that no one even noticed Gary's strange behaviour towards her.
"Gary, I've already said I'm not choosing sides! Why can't I just be friends with you and Jimmy!" Eve demanded.
"Friends? You think I'd stoop so low as to be your friend? I have standards you know!" Gary spat, "As if I would ever be your friend, little Evie! You're just a liability! You're a useless moron!"
Eve narrowed her eyes at him, determined not to cry. She hated it when people said things like that to her; after all, that's what her father used to say to her every single day. It hurt to hear it coming from Gary.
"Gary, you are the biggest jerk I have ever met!" Eve growled, before turning round and storming off, a furious expression on her face. She felt like hitting something, but knew violence wasn't the answer.
"Oh come on, little Evie, stop being such a pussy," Gary said, hurrying after her, his voice now sounding normal again, and less aggressive.
Eve came to an abrupt stop and spun round, staring at Gary suspiciously, "What is wrong with you!"
Gary chuckled, "What do you mean?"
"I mean one minute you're all angry and then the next your perfectly happy again! You're…" Eve trailed off, not wanting to call Gary crazy again. Last time he'd gotten very angry, and Eve wanted to avoid that. She had learned that Gary could be pretty scary.
"You done?" He asked.
Eve frowned, "Done?"
"I mean finished your boring little rant thing, little Evie," Gary smirked widely.
"…You're really weird. You know that, right?" Eve eyed Gary cautiously, as Gary's smirk grew wider.
"I know. Now, are you coming?" He asked.
"Coming?" Eve questioned.
"Do you always answer a question, with a question?" Gary's smirk grew wider as he shook his head in an amused fashion.
Eve frowned lightly and crossed her arms over her chest defensively, "No,"
"Well then come on, little Evie, we got things to be doing," Gary turned round and starting walking off, and before Eve knew it, she was following him.
"Wait! So one minute you're telling me I have to choose you or Jimmy, and now you want me to hang out with you?" Eve said, with an extremely confused expression on her face.
"Pretty much," Gary replied, shrugging as he continued out the school gates.
Eve sighed heavily, "I am so going to regret this,"
Despite the fact that she had a feeling in the pit of her stomach that was telling her not to go with Gary, she found herself following closely behind.
A few hours later Eve was sitting on the edge of the pier in Old Bullworth Vale, next to Gary, who still had the same smirk on his face. Although she knew that hanging around with Gary was bad for her, she actually enjoyed spending time with him, but something was eating at her.
She was confused about Halloween, when Gary had kissed her. She wasn't sure whether he liked her, and that the kiss was genuine, or if he was just playing with her feelings. When she had been hanging round with him, all she could think about was the kiss. She hoped and prayed that Gary hadn't actually just been playing with her feelings.
"What are you thinking about, huh, little Evie?" Gary asked, as he stared at Eve intently, as if trying to read her mind.
"Nothing just…stuff," Eve lied, not really wanting to tell Gary what she had been thinking about. She was sure her would just laugh at her.
"Tell me," Gary urged, as Eve looked down at the water below them.
She sighed and shook her head quickly. There was no way she was going to tell him. It was too embarrassing, and she knew how awkward she would feel if she actually brought it up.
"Tell me," Gary repeated, though this time his voice was a little more forceful, and Eve was extremely wary of Gary, from past experience she knew how angry he could get in a matter of seconds.
"Nothing…I was just thinking about Halloween…" Eve mumbled, staring determinedly at the water below them, avoiding eye contact with Gary completely.
"What about Halloween, Evie?" Gary asked, staring at Eve even more intently.
Eve blushed slightly as she looked away and bit her lip, "I need to ask…you know when we….you know…"
Gary finally got what she was getting at, and he smirked widely, which caused Eve to blush even more. She suspected that he was about to laugh in her face or something.
Instead, Gary chose to surprise her, by forcefully pressing his lips against hers, his hands running through her hair. Eve could feel him smirking into the kiss, and she was thankful for the fact that at least this time, when kissing Gary, she wasn't wearing an awful panda suit.
Gary pulled away slowly, grinning broadly as he rested his forehead against Eve's, "Does that answer your question, little Evie?" He asked in a cocky manner.
Eve nodded, biting her lip slightly as she tried to calm her nerves down. She'd just kissed Gary Smith. Again. Surely that meant he liked her?
Suddenly, Gary stood up, and started heading back down the pier, making Eve frown slightly in confusion.
"Wait? You're just going to walk away?" She demanded.
"Well, yeah, it's almost curfew, little Evie," He called over his shoulder, "Wouldn't want to get a detention now, would we?"
Eve smiled lightly as she stared after Gary, "I am such an idiot," She stated, before running off after him, not wanting to be left behind.
