(A/N) Hey, I'm back again with another update, even though I just posted chapter 12 yesterday! I've randomly just had like, a wave of inspiration this past week, so yay! I have no idea what you'll think of this chapter. It involves a little bit of romance...well, hinted romance, so maybe it will spark into a fully fledged romance, if you guys like the idea that is. So please review, telling me your opinion about the..er...hinted romance ;) And in case you're wondering what's happening with Gary, well, he'll make many more appearances in later chapters, I promise!
And, I've had another request to include the Townies, so I pinkie swear I'll include them in more of my future chapters! I honestly will! I've got a sort of space in the plot for them to come in! ;)
Hope you enjoy! As usual thanks for all the reviews, I appreciate it! And please, give me your opinion on this chapter, and tell me if you like where it may be heading or not! If you have any suggestions on characters or happenings in the story then don't be afraid to ask me to include them! Please review!

It was now nearing Christmas, and much to Eve's joy the whole of Bullworth town was now covered in snow, putting most of the Bullworth students in very high spirits. Though despite of this, there were a few negatives due to the snow, one of them being the constant snowball fights, which seemed to always end up with someone getting injured or knocked out. The other negative point was that the grounds were now extremely slippery, in fact it was now considered normal for a student to randomly fall down when walking around campus or heading to their next class.

Eve had fallen over at least fifteen times since it had started snowing. Usually she was quite well coordinated, but in snow or ice, it was havoc for her, which is why she tried to stay indoors at all times, and had even resulted in skipping a few of her classes that she considered too dangerous to walk to.

However, Eve was glad to say that she hadn't seen Gary at all since their last meeting. In fact, it was as if he had disappeared altogether. Gary was in most of Eve's classes, and yet he never seemed to attend them anymore, which was quite odd. Gary always used to attend classes; it was as if he was now purposely avoiding Eve. She didn't mind this too much though, but she had been looking forward to giving Gary a piece of her mind.

Since Jimmy had beaten the Preppies, they were now quite polite to Eve; due to the fact that they were scared she would get Jimmy to beat them up again if they were mean to her.
Eve smiled lightly as she hurried back to her dorm, ducking as a few snowballs flew past her head, missing her by mere inches. She was sure that the bullies were now purposely trying to hit her in the face with snow, they didn't like her too much due to the fact she was classed as a nerd at Bullworth.

"Jesus Christ," Eve muttered, as another snowball flew right over her head, before hitting one of the prefects in the back of the head. It was funny to see the prefect immediately turn round, his face bright red as he demanded the culprit to come forward. By this time the person who had thrown the snowball was probably halfway across the school, though of course one of the younger kids would probably tell on them.

Eve quickly jogged up the steps leading up to the entrance of the girl's dorm, almost falling on her backside in the process, but she just managed to catch herself in time, and laughed lightly at the thought of falling over yet again, her grin growing wider as she stepped into the girl's dorm, and was immediately greeted with warmth. The girl's dorm was always very warm and cozy, unlike the boy's dorm which supposedly had no heating at all.

"Hey Beatrice," Eve smiled as she walked past Beatrice, waving in a friendly manner at her.

"Oh, hello," Beatrice replied, smiling widely, before re-adjusting her glasses and walking off to her dorm room.

Eve smiled as she hurried up the stairs and into her room, carefully shutting the door behind her. The door was bound to fall off any day soon due to the fact that every time Sky entered the room she slammed it as hard as she could. It seemed to amuse her greatly, seeing it bounce off the wall, and slam shut again.

"Hey Eve," Sky greeted, as she got up off her bed, and stretched her arms above her head, her shoulder blades clicking loudly.

"Hello, Sky, you okay?" Eve asked, taking her usual seat at the desk, glancing at the pile of homework she had placed on it a few days ago.

"Yeah, I'm just thinking about seeing Johnny," Sky replied, sighing lightly.

Eve looked at her in a puzzled manner, "I thought you guys weren't talking to each other,"

A few days ago, Johnny had falsely accused Sky of cheating on him, and off course, and Sky had proceeded to then freak out at him. She could be very aggressive when she was in a bad mood, and she hadn't spoken to Johnny since.

"Yeah, but I'm thinking of going and apologizing to him," Sky said, causing Eve to stare at her in disbelief.

"You? Apologize? Really?" Eve smirked lightly, "But you never apologize,"

Sky snorted at Eve's reaction, "I know, it's just I may have overreacted a little bit,"

"I'm sure you didn't" Eve reasoned, moving her gaze back to her homework.

"I honestly did, and now I have to go apologize," Sky said heading to the door, "See you,"

"Bye," Eve said, waving despite the fact Sky had already left the room.

Eve frowned down at the papers scattered all over her desk. She really couldn't be bothered to do her homework, and it wasn't as if she attended a lot of her classes anymore, as the teachers didn't really teach . They just let the students run around the classroom like wild animals.

"EVE!"

Eve yelped loudly, almost falling off her chair in fright as someone shouted her name in her left ear.

"You almost gave me a heart attack!" Eve exclaimed, as she turned round to see Dannii grinning at her merrily.

"There's no time for heart attacks, Eve!" Dannii declared, "You have a date in a few hours and you need to get ready!"

Eve frowned lightly. She had a date? She was sure she hadn't made any plans to meet anyone, and surely she would remember if she had a date or not, considering she'd never really had one before.

"I'm pretty sure I don't have a date, Dannii," Eve said, looking up at Dannii skeptically.

"Of course you do, silly! One of the Preppies just asked me if you would meet them on the pier, and I told them you'd be there," Dannii grinned widely, "Now come on, you have to get ready," She grabbed Eve by the arm and dragged her out of the chair. Eve was sure she'd never seen Dannii this excited before.

"Who's this Preppie I'm meeting?" Eve asked suspiciously. She was pretty sure Dannii was tricking her right now.

"Tad Spencer," Dannii replied, rifling through Eve's closet, trying to pick out an outfit she deemed suitable.

"The guy I attacked?" Eve questioned, remembering the time she went with Jimmy a few weeks ago to help him egg Mr. Hattrick's house with the Preppies.

"Yeah, he told me about that," Dannii snorted, "He told me he found it very se-"

"Okay Dannii shut up, shut up, shut up!" Eve exclaimed, covering her ears with her hands, a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Aw, you're blushing! How sweet! See? You do like Tad, I'm sure you'll have fun! Besides, he's one of the more nicer Preppies...kinda,"

"He has webbed toes on one foot, Dannii," Eve pointed out, "And I don't like him like that...I'm not sure if I like him in general, he seems too snobby,"

"Okay, the webbed toes on one foot thing..well...I have no idea how you know that," Dannii started.

"He told us," Eve interjected, before allowing Dannii carrying on.

"That's not the point. It doesn't really matter, right? I mean it's not as if he's going to shove his foot in your face!" Dannii exclaimed, making Eve laugh hysterically, "And you might like him, just try talking to him, give him a chance,"

Eve nodded, smiling widely, "Fine, I'll give him and his webbed toes a chance,"

"Good," Dannii nodded in a wise manner, "Very good,"

"Wait, why does he want to meet me?" Eve questioned.

"Duh, for a date," Dannii's grin grew even wider.

"Well, yeah, I know that," Eve sighed, "But why me? Why does he want to go on a date with me? I'm a nerd, everyone says so,"

Dannii placed her hand on Eve's shoulder, "Because you are a great person, Eve. That and he said that he thought you were cute,"

Eve blushed lightly again. Wow, someone actually thought she was cute? She felt very flattered right now, though she refused to get her hopes up too much though, after all, she had thought that Gary had liked her too, and yet he turned out to be using her. What if Tad was planning on using her too?

"Ooh, this outfit is perfect!" Dannii exclaimed, pulling a vest top and a pair of denim shorts out, causing Eve to do a double take.

"Dannii!" She exclaimed, "It's bloody freezing outside! It's snowing! You can't expect me to wear a pair of shorts and a vest!"

Dannii just shrugged as if it was no big deal, "Hey, it'll look good,"

Eve snorted, "I'm just going in my uniform Dannii," She said, glancing down at her black tights, and flicking a bit of dust off them.

"Well at least wear this," Dannii went over to her own closet and pulled out a fur coat.

"No Dannii, I don't like wearing fur, it makes me feel bad for the animal it came off" Eve shuddered, before smiling lightly at her friend's eagerness, before pulling on a plain grey zip-up hoody.

Dannii just sighed, before grinning back at Eve, "Go on then, go meet him!" She pushed her friend out the room, shutting the door sharply behind her.

"Oh boy," Eve sighed, shaking her head as she headed down the stairs and out of the girls dorm, instantly changing her pace, and instead walking very slow, considering the fact that the ground was even more slippery than it had been before. On her way out of the school gates she had almost fallen twice, but quickly grabbed onto the gates to stop herself from slipping down onto her bottom.

The streets were slightly safer, due to the fact that grit was now lying on the snow, making the pavement and roads less icy. Eve was thankful for this, though she still almost fell down a few times. She had to admit, despite the fact she loved snow, it was a big pain in the backside.

She felt slightly nervous as she finally reached the pier, and as she squinted through the snow that was starting to fall, she spotted Tad Spencer pacing round slowly at the end of it.
Eve sighed lightly, before heading down the pier towards him, thankfully not slipping once. Truth be told, she wasn't really looking forward to this 'date', like all the other Preppies, Tad seemed extremely snobby and rude.

Tad didn't seem to notice her as she approached him, so she cleared her throat lightly, and smiled in a polite manner as Tad turned to face her.

"Um...hello," Eve greeted, not sure on what else to say to the Preppie.

"Ah, you decided to come," Tad smiled, "Excellent,"

Eve glanced around awkwardly, "Uh, yeah,"

"Glad to see that Dannii girl managed to find you in time," He said, stepping closer to Eve slightly, "Why, I only planned on meeting you here this morning. I wasn't sure that you'd show up. Especially since you seem to hate me,"

"What makes you think I hate you?" Eve questioned, feeling slightly confused considering she'd never even spoken to Tad.

"Well, you did attack me, remember?" He smirked at the memory.

"Oh...that...yeah, I remember now," Eve smile faded lightly.

"So, I was thinking that we could, ah, get to know each other. You seem like a fine girl, and I'm sure that if Daddy was to ever meet you he'd approve," Tad said, not noticing the stunned look on Eve's face. She thought he was being extremely...forward right now. She'd barely even had a proper conversation with him, and already he was talking about introducing her to his father. It was going a little bit too fast for her liking. Nevertheless he did seem quite a polite boy, and not as rude or ill-mannered as she had first thought.

"So, is that okay with you?" Tad asked, for once looking a little uncertain.

Eve just shrugged, "I guess," She didn't really have the heart to say no, and besides, maybe she would start to like Tad. He seemed pretty decent so far, and he hadn't said anything mean or snobby yet.

"Smashing!" He exclaimed, looking extremely pleased with himself, "So, my dearest Eve, I was thinking we could go grab ourselves a bite to eat,"

"I would love to but-"Eve started. She was starting to feel extremely cold, and was keen on the idea of going back to her warm, cozy dorm room.

"Smashing, why don't we head to Shea Lewis? It has a lovely Al Fresco dining area, very nice indeed," Tad said, placing a hand gently on Eve's lower back, leading her to Shea Lewis, a small cafe that was located near the movie theater.

Eve just allowed Tad to lead her up the pier; she knew that he would insist on taking her there, no matter how much she protested. She just wanted to go somewhere warm, like her room, though Shea Lewis would probably warm her up soon enough.
