(A/N) Okay, so this is just another kind of filler chapter, but it's sort of building up to some more drama in the next few chapters! Thanks for the reviews by the way! But please, if you are actually interested in reading this story, could you review, cos I don't know if people actually want to read it anymore. It really helps motivate me when people review!
Oh, and just in case you can't remember who Sky and Dannii are they're Eve's roommates, I just haven't mentioned them much in the story :D
Hope you enjoy, and please review if you're interested in reading this! Constructive criticism is welcomed!
Later that night, Eve was sat at the desk in her room, randomly doodling on a spare piece of lined paper, a bored look on her face as she placed her chin on her fist, glancing over at her roommate Dannii every once in a while.
Dannii was a nice girl, but could sometimes be a little snobby, due to the fact she was a Preppie. It was safe to say that Dannii and Sky's first meeting hadn't gone well, it had seemed to have caused a lot of tension, and this made Eve feel awkward, as she was sort of in the middle of it all.
Eve sighed heavily, crumpling up the piece of paper and glancing at Sky's bed in a worried manner. It was hours past curfew, and Sky still wasn't back. Though Eve knew Sky was often late back, she'd never been thislate before. Eve couldn't help but feel concerned for her missing roommate.
Suddenly, the bedroom door slammed open, and Eve turned round on her seat, a look of relief on her face as she noticed Sky stepping into the room. Her expression soon changed though as she noticed the many bruises that now covered Sky's pale skin.
"Oh my God! Sky! What happened to you!" Eve demanded, immediately getting up from the desk and leading Sky to her bed, before sitting down next to her.
Dannii stood up, looking uncertain, "Should I go get a teacher?"
Sky shook her head, wincing slightly from the movement, "I'm fine,"
Eve studied her bruised arms carefully, "You are not fine!"
"What happened Sky?" Dannii asked gently, timidly wrapping an arm around Sky's shoulders.
"…It…it was the Preppies," Sky's voice sounded croaky and weak.
Eve's eyes raked Sky in a suspicious manner. Her hair was tangled and sticking up in all directions, cuts and bruises covered her arms and legs, and a large, purple, black and blue bruise was starting to form on her cheekbone, whilst a long cut rang across her jaw line. Eve immediately wondered if the Preppies had raped Sky.
"Did they rape you!" She demanded.
Sky's eyes widened dramatically, "No!"
"Then what did they do?" Dannii pressed.
Sky let out a short, bitter laugh, "Well, it's kinda obvious what they did. They beat the crap out of me. And it bloody well hurts like crazy," She yelped as Eve touched her wrist.
"Sky, you need to go to the nurse to get checked out," Eve stated, "Your wrist might be broken or something,"
Sky just shook her head in a stubborn manner.
"Sky, you're acting like a crazy person! You need to go and see the nurse!" Dannii insisted.
"No I don't!" Sky insisted.
"Sky, you're hurt! You need to go and see the nurse first thing tomorrow!" Eve ordered, giving Sky a stern stare.
Sky groaned heavily, "I AM NOT GOING TO SEE THAT BLOODY GODDAMN NURSE AND THAT IS FINAL!"
The next morning Eve got up early and managed to drag Sky to the school nurse, much to Sky's dismay. Dannii and Eve had ignored Sky's threats; about if they didn't take her back to the dorm she would kill them. This only attracted more stares, as many students had been staring at Sky and her newly bruised form to begin with.
Once Eve had managed to push Sky into the nurse's office, she had decided to go to the library, and do some homework, despite the fact that recently she hadn't been attending most of her classes. Not many students at Bullworth did anymore, and the teachers just didn't care. As long as they were getting payed each and every month, they were happy. It sickened Eve in a way, which is why she had decided to go to the library from now on and learn from the books in there, instead of listening to her teachers ramble on about who knows what.
Eve sighed as she bustled down the path towards the library, smiling at Algie who grinned at her in a friendly fashion. Though she hadn't hung round with the Nerds in a while, they were still extremely nice towards her, and had even asked her to play Grotto's and Gremlins with them, which as always, she had politely refused.
Shivering slightly from the cold air, Eve hurried through the doors of the library, smiling as she was immediately greeted by warmth. The library was always rather warm and cosy, which is why Eve had taken a liking to it.
After choosing a book at random, Eve quickly hurried over to her usual table, which was right at the back of the library, away from prying eyes. The library was always so peaceful, and the Bullies hardly entered, unless they were looking to bully some ran nerd.
Sighing, she tried her best to get comfortable in the seat, before opening the thick book and placing it in her lap, her eyes running over the words carefully, but not quite taking them in.
A sudden gust of wind blew into the library, causing Eve to automatically glance at the library doors, and she froze as she saw who had just entered.
Mandy.
Eve was extremely confused by now. What would Mandy be doing in the library? She wasn't interested in anything other than cheerleading and Ted. In fact, Eve knew of Mandy's intense dislike towards the nerds, and wondered why on earth she would come to a place full of them. It was all so confusing.
Mandy's eyes narrowed slightly as they raked the library carefully. She was obviously searching for someone, but who?
Eve sunk down in her chair, placing the book in front of her face. Mandy seemed to hold a strong dislike for Eve, for some strange reason, and Eve wasn't so sure she wanted a slanging match with her right now. Mostly because Mandy would probably win, considering Eve wasn't so good with verbally attacking people. In fact, she wasn't good at attacking people in general, unless they made her extremely angry, hence her attack on Tad just yesterday.
Eve peeked over the top of her book curiously, to see if Mandy had left the library, or whether she had found who she was looking for. She was surprised to see Mandy staring over at her with a smug, triumphant smirk on her face.
Eve mentally groaned as Mandy made her way over. She knew this couldn't be good, as whenever Mandy so much as spoke to her, it was always to insult her.
"Hey nerd," Mandy said, smirking slyly, "So, like, what kind of dorky book are you reading, huh?" She grabbed the book out of Eve's hands and smirked widely,
"A Guide to Geometry.Should have guessed a loser like you would read something as pathetic as this," Mandy threw the book to the floor, before placing her hands on her hips, "So, I, like, heard something interesting about that Skyler girl today,"
Eve frowned lightly, "What did you hear?" She could tell that whatever Mandy was about to say would not be good.
"I heard she was raped. It's not surprising if the slut goes round dressed like she does, she's almost as bad as Lola," Mandy studied her nails carefully, a sly smirk on her face.
"Who told you she was raped?" Eve demanded, getting to her feet quickly.
"She was telling the nurse, dork," Mandy snorted.
"You're lying," Eve said sharply, "She wasn't raped, those horrid Preppies beat her up,"
Mandy smirked, "Oops, that's not what I've been telling everyone. But I suppose it's good to hear that someone finally, like, taught Skyler to keep her mouth shut, the bitch,"
Eve frowned lightly, her fists clenching, she knew better than to hit Mandy, if she did, she would surely have the Jocks coming after her, and then she too would be covered in bruises, just like Sky.
"Anyways, later dork, I have better things to be doing than hanging around talking to you," Mandy said, before turning round and sauntering off, obviously extremely pleased with herself.
Eve just stood rooted on the spot for a moment. She couldn't believe that Mandy had actually gone round telling people Sky had been raped. She hadn't thought that Mandy would stoop so low, despite her being a total and utter bitch.
A loud thud pulled Eve away from her thoughts, and glancing round she saw that the thud noise had been Melvin falling over a chair. Usually Eve would have gone to check if he was alright, but right now she needed to do something else. She needed to inform Sky of the silly rumours Mandy was spreading about. She was sure Sky would not be happy at all about these rumours. Who would be?
Eve quickly ran out the library as fast as she could. Though Eve was not at all athletic she was quick a fast runner, which often helped her in her old school when she was being threatened.
Ignoring the students who were wandering around campus she sprinted to the girl's dorm, paying no attention to the bully, Trent, who stared shouting random insults at her. She had no time to get upset about the mean comments he was yelling after her, she just needed to warn Sky.
"Excuse me!" She cried, as she brushed past Mrs Peabody once she was inside the girl's dorm.
Eve was in so much of a hurry than she almost fell back down the stairs, but just about managed to regain her balance by grabbing Christy's arm, accidently causing Christy to tumble down the stairs in the process, though Eve payed no attention and continued towards her dorm room, not even realising that she may have injured Christy.
Instead she burst through the door, an extremely uneasy expression on her face, "Sky! Have you heard!"
"Heard what?" Sky demanded a slightly worried expression on her face as she eyed an extremely panicky Eve.
"Mandy's going round telling everyone you were raped!" Eve exclaimed.
Sky's face fell, and she stared at Eve blankly. In fact, for a moment Eve had thought that Sky's heart had stopped beating, as she sat extremely still on her bed, staring blankly at the wall.
"Sky? Sky? Hello?" Eve waved her hand in front of Sky's face, causing Sky to jump slightly, "Are you okay?"
Sky shook her head slowly, and turned to face Eve, "I'm gonna kill Mandy. I swear I'm gonna kill her,"
