Chapter 76
.
On Monday Eve and Nadia returned to school like normal. They couldn't hide their excitement from the previous day. They'd helped save two lives, possibly those two souls. Eve wished she could go back today, but she had a shift at Ravenwood. During lunch a student named Jenny went up to Eve, asked for her autograph. Eve assumed she was joking, but Jenny was serious. It seemed these was a youtube video, starring Eve. Jenny started to access this on her smart-phone. Eve was nervous, some youtube videos were known to be humiliating to their subject. She wondered what this could be about, perhaps her and Jessie? But this was a recent newsreel. The narrator talked about workers on the Arks. It showed a clip of Eve saying it was her patriotic and religious duty to help with this. The narrator then talked about the attempt on president Mason's life. Finally the footage showed the workers continuing their functions in the immediate aftermath, Eve and other workers with their sad faces. Eve actually recognized some workers in the footage from the reception at the white house. The newsreel concluded with footage from that reception. Eve had almost forgotten about Zoey Allen interviewing her, getting the footage, she certainly never thought she'd be one of the main subjects of a newsreel. Eve figured this fame would be brief, but it was fun, she signed Jenny's autograph.

Eve's second week of her sophmore year involved more work than her first week. When they'd explained the outline of these courses it seemed overwhelming, she figured she couldn't possibly learn all this in a year. But this week, Eve slowly began learning. Her job at Ravenwood allowed her time to study. She'd originally requested off on Thursdays so she could study for Friday tests. But this was becoming un-neccessary. Eve's schedule had numerous commitments. School, Ravenwood, and her new job as sidewalk counselor. Eve did that last one on Sundays and Tuesdays. This schedule left Eve with little downtime, but it helped her with ELE related anxiety. And these days Eve didn't want to spend too much time at home. It hardly felt like home with Karen sleeping where Eve's mother once slept. Eve partly blamed Karen, and herself, for Kendall's suicide. If Karen started acting like her mother, Eve truley felt that she would murder Karen.
