Broken Hearts Club

Enemy In Disguise

While during the lesson being a nice kid that I am, I aim to introduce myself. '' Hi. '' I disregard Dina downright who's siting in the middle of mine and Charmaine's desk. '' Oh hi... '' Her voice was so sweet. I figure it tastes like cotton candy. '' I am Charmaine Greene. You are new right? '' I shook my head answering, '' Yes '' '' Well, as a sophomore I would like to advise you something. '' I pay heed to her. ''That is stay away from her. '' She whispers putting her hand aside her mouth eyeing at Dina. Dina at last finished destroying her notebook abysmally . She upheaved her head to glunch at Charmaine, '' Seriously, Charm?'' Charmaine slips back to sit decently. '' Ah.. I was just playing with her. '' It seemed like they were friends. So, without bothering I decided to focus on the class instead.

First Period ends by the horrible alarm of bell blowing through the speakers. All students hurtled outside the class absolutely ignoring Mr. Thompson, who was quite busy writing the homework on the board. The last three person standing in the room was Dina, me and Charmaine. I was attempting to lock the chain of my bag but my useless bag was broken. After Mr. Thompson Charmaine closes the door. I make a suspicious look which was eschewed by them. '' So, where were you? '' Dina expressed an evil grin while I was still trying to fix my bag. Charmaine plays with her own hair twisting it as she catwalked to Dina's seat. She replies shamelessly with utter excitement in her tone, '' We did it in the auditorium. '' My eyes goggled expeditiously . Even though I had absolutely no interest to hear their conversion but still the whisperings crept their way into my ear. I leave the room embarrassed holding my bag in my arms and they probably mocked me while leaving for being so stiff about it. The thing is my dear readers, I get really really mousy when people bring up s****l conversations. I know as a teen of this era I am supposed to be comfortable by the idea. But I am obviously not. Maybe, that's why I dislike Zain so much. Because, he's always so sensual and damn-cared about his odd adolescent behavior.

My locker was already assigned to me which was written in the paper along the routine. I walk to it to open it. I set a password and placing my bag inside I shut the door closed. My phone buzzes as I recall I left it in the bag. I unlocked it hastily sneaking my phone out. It was a text from Kyle. That i***t left me alone today. So, he's about to hear some serious lectures. Without tapping on his message I choose to call him. '' You Wanker!'' I try to keep my voice low since I am surrounded by judgy teenagers. '' Hey.. '' He had his nervous voice. '' You were supposed to show me around . '' I add,'' Did you forget your promise?'' I had dreamt about this day for a long time and of course I would have liked to spend it with my close friend, just like how he gave me his word last year. '' Look I am sorry. '' I could sense he was guilty. ''Groover! '' Someone screamed from the back on the other side. '' Who's there? '' I ask him. '' It's just my gym teacher. I will call you at midnight. '' He was in a hurry. '' You must! '' I order before disconnecting. I take out my books for the next class as I determine to continue the rest of the day.

After school hours, I get myself out of the building. That's when Laila ceases me. '' Hey Eva! '' Crossing the main entrance I stand aside waiting for her to follow me. She steps outside as I rotate straightforward responding, '' Hey! '' I didn't aspect her to remember my name. '' How was your day? '' I smile, '' It was okay. '' I was being friendly. '' Sorry.. I couldn't show you around.'' I hold her shoulders gently affirming, '' No. It's fine. At least, you are talking to me right now. I felt like an alien today. '' She laughs hearing me covering her mouth with her hand. '' Yeah. '' She fixes her throat including, '' Well, would you like to meet my friends? '' She asked me like she knew I haven't made any friends toady besides her. '' Sure! Show me the way. '' I say with grace as I commenced to trace her footsteps.

Laila started walking circling the building. When we pass the Auditorium curiosity invades into my brain. Where is she taking me? There was this small room located under the stairs of the football auditorium. More Like, a hidden sanctum. I get worried with each strides nearer to it . '' We are here. '' Laila says turning to me. I pursue a nervous smile. She unbolts the red archaic door calmly. The second the door dilated I could already see Dina smoking something. We both walk inside as Laila closed the door behind us. I mark another girl behind Dina. She had her head laid over Dina's shoulder as her long cheery-red semi curly hair covered her entire leather jacket. She appeared like those retro kids I had watched in 90s films previously. They both had lit cigarettes in their hands S the smoke paved the room. I noticed Charmaine texting abruptly as she held the phone with tight grip. She looked a bit exhausted given that she had a fight minutes ago. Laila fetched everyone's attention. '' Hey girls! '' She clapped her hands producing a loud noise. Dina and the redhead girl peered at me for a while. Charmaine still had her mind concentrated on her phone. I look at Charmaine hoping she would greet me. I felt she was nicer than Dina before. So, I kinda wished she would talk to me. When my eyes were on Charmaine I hear Dina whispering something into that girl's ear. My head wheeled towards them as I smile awkwardly. The redhead chick stood up and that's when I discerned she was tallest in the room. Perhaps, in the school too. '' Hi...'' She said. I repeat after her. '' This is Ariel. Ariel Star to be exact. Our troublemaker! '' Laila introduced her to me. I laugh sincerely listening. '' Do you love bashing me in front of new people? '' She frowns enquiring Laila. She sighs directing to me, '' She's right though. I am THE troublemaker. '' Ariel agrees. Dina decides to completely ignore me once again. Charmaine cursed shutting her phone off. '' f**k it'' All of us gaped at her in solicitude '' Everything okay, Charm? '' Laila asks. I think that was first time I saw Charmaine in an angry state. '' Yeah. I am okay. '' She says pulling her hair backwards as she jumps on the sofa located in front Dina relaxing . Dina ditches the cigarette into the dustbin beside her. She raises up getting a gum out of her pockets. '' Oh hi...'' Charmaine speaks to me. I sense she forgot my name already. '' Eva.. '' I give her a cue. '' Yes.. EVA! '' She replied promptly rethinking. I don't remember telling her my name anyway. '' So, let's do something? '' Laila brings up a topic before a silence is planted. My sight moves to the clock hanged on the wall. I read 4:37. '' Um... I can't. '' I tell. '' I think my mom already came to pick me up. '' I speak reasoning. '' So, you are not taking the bus? '' Laila asks as I nod no. '' I have to go. '' I say in a hurried tone. '' Yeah sure. See you later. '' Charmaine said to me. '' Bye! '' An expected bade came from Dina while she chewed her gum. Ariel waves at me. I returned my look to Laila. She smiled. '' I will see you tomorrow in the morning then. '' She speaks. I vow, '' Of course! '' making my way out of that room. I had forgotten the path. It was a twisted journey from the school to this place. After much wrong directions, I managed to reach the school yard early. I spot mom's car placed at the parking area. I walked to it firmly.

'' Sorry! Sorry! '' I say altogether bustling into the car. She paid me a displeasing look. '' Do you know how long I have been waiting for you? '' She scowls. I was so vexed by that. I couldn't believe, I was finally making some new friends and she can't handle a little pain for her daughter. I reply without even thinking, '' Come on.. It's like your only job.'' I could swear mom's face turned gloomy the second I said that. My heart starts beating faster. I rue in constant ache. What have you done, Eva? My mind squealed at me.
