Chapter 33
{Eva Longoria Battles}
Los Angeles (7:45 am)
Next Morning… Author POV…
Eva groaned loudly as the maid kept using her things to distract her sleep. Rolling from side to side of her bed, she cursed briefly before opening her eyes but they covered her back because of the glints from the sun.
“You should bring down my curtains, Bella. Eva squealed at the maid as she had her face away till her room got dark again.
“I’m sorry. ” Came the apologetic voice of the maid beside her.
“What are we having for breakfast today? ” She asked as she got off the queen size bed.
“Your parents didn’t get the chance to come home from their business trip, so–”
“As usual, always on their business trip, as if the money and assets they made aren’t enough for sixty years to come. ” She mumbled in between her rapid breath.
“Are you ok–”
“Don’t ask me such a question. Do I look fine? ” She yelled, not realizing she did.
“I’m sorry. What do you want for your breakfast before you head to school? ” The maid asked as she stood steps away from Eva… Talking of Eva, a sensitive, mood swings girl, a savage queen. Privacy-obsessed and boring girl.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Just make tea and four slices of bread. ” She replied and went inside the bathroom while the maid used that moment to get her room arranged a bit. With her uniform neatly on her bed, she came out of the bathroom, dripping with water till everything got dried with her green towel.
It didn’t take her minutes before she got dressed and had breakfast at the dining table. Getting inside one of the cars her driver arranged for the day as they drove out of the compound.
Eva POV
(8:10 am)
Pinnacle High School.
I got out of the car with my school bag and the driver drove away. I turn around and exhale and inhale…
“I just hope today holds no drama from Sandra and her best friend Hailey. ” I mumbled under my breath as I walked inside the school compound.
Everywhere was silent as usual, I’m late again… I thought and took the stairs which lead to the hallway into different classes. I paused a bit when the class was empty.
“Where’s everyone? ” I thought, walking inside the class to drop my bag on the chair and I saw him coming out of the class restroom.
At that moment, I made up my mind not to have a conversation with him.
“You are late Eva. ” He uttered as he stopped in front of me.
“I slept off… I’m kinda down because it feels like I’m about to fall sick. ” I find myself responding.
“Where’s everyone, Raine? ” I asked about sitting down but arched my brows.
“This isn’t your seat—” I asked again…
“We got rearranged. ” He interrupted my words and I made an O shape with my lips.
“They have a meeting with the school director. ”
“Oh my God, they have called my name because I came—”
“You took the first position, Eva… You aren’t needed. ” He replied, looking at me with those stares I don’t like to see.
“I will request a change of seat partner when we are done for the day. ” I talked and stood up but he pulled me back…
“What’s that for? ” I yelled at him and he looked lost, still wondering what he might have done.
“Did I do anything wrong in just a few minutes? ” His voice came behind me. Making up my mind to ignore the voice in my head, these feelings… I don’t want to admit to any feelings, I don’t want to feel in love…
Moreover, he doesn’t know about my feelings because I try my best to make myself look bad in front of him intentionally.
I thought it was the only way to push him away, ignore him, ignore his feelings and urge to do something but what.
His flicking hands pulled me back and I gasped when I saw him standing in front of me.
“Are you alright Eva? ” His touch sent down a cold feeling in my skin.
“Am not alright. ” The words rolled out of my mouth, without me realizing it.
