chapter 1: epilogue
Evelyn (Eve) POV
"wake up you little slut" I'm woken up by a bucket of water. what a great way to wake someone up. I jump out of bed still disoriented, I blink my eyes trying to get all the sleepiness out of my system. in front of me stands the one and only Whitney Roberts AKA my dear stepsister.
"what the heck Whitney?" I shout glaring at my so called sister.
"why are you still sleeping? who do you think is going to cook and clean the house?" Whitney says folding her hand over her chest with a foolish smirk which I would love to wipe off her face "mom won't like you sleeping at this hour" she continues saying and I check the clock to find it's only 5 in the morning. I really hurt my life sometimes "I'm going now leave me alone" I say through gritted teeth. I watch as Whitney leaves my room already feeling dejected about my life.
I scramble to get up from my bed getting my towel going to take a shower. I enter my bathroom and take a quick shower dressing up in a plain t shirt and shorts. after I'm done with my morning routine I got to the attic getting the cleaning materials and start cleaning the house before going to school.
****
my name is Evelyn Roberts but everyone calls me Eve, I'll be turning 18 years this year and graduating highschool in a few weeks. right now we are writing our final examination and I'll finally be able to go to medical school .
life is not easy my mom died when I was ten years and my father saw that as a chance to bring his mistress home. before my mom died my father was a doting husband but now I barely see him. I never pictured my father as the cheating type but when my mom died I was proven wrong. my dad brought his mistress who also happened to have a child who is the same age as me Whitney Roberts from there on my life took a twisted turn. my stepmom treats me like a slave but my dad always turns a blind eye I always have to watch my dad, stepmom and stepsister go on family vacation but I'm always the outcast never needed by anyone I wonder if my mom was still arrive would things be like this. I really miss her I wish she didn't have to leave me alone so early .
after I finish cleaning the house I go in the kitchen to start preparing breakfast before anyone wakes up. this is my life wake up early before anyone else clean the house cook breakfast and lunch in advance afterwards I go to school, after school I go to work at night enchantment club to raise money in advance cause I doubt if my suppose father will pay my college tuition fees considering how expensive medicine is so I decided to start raising money in advance while working hard to get a scholarship at school so far I'm doing pretty good.
I decide to make something simple for breakfast after half an hour of preparing breakfast I finish and start preparing lunch since I'll be at school I have to prepare everything in advance so when stepmom and dad comes for lunch they'll have something to eat.
I can't wait to officially be eighteen so I can move out of this hellhole I'm sick and tired of everyone treating me like a nobody.
it hurts seeing my dad give all the love to my stepsister the love that use to be mine now I just watch on the sidelines being given to someone else
I don't hurt my stepsister really I just wish she would treat me like a sister not a stain in her perfect little life .
after one hour of multitasking in the kitchen I'm finally done preparing everything. I move to my room to prepare for school, it's now 7:30 in the morning meaning I only have about half an hour to get to school or I'll be late. just upon reaching my room my phone rings and I know exactly who is calling me cause she is the only one who ever checks on me .
I answer my phone putting on loud speaker while I strip my cleaning clothes off to start getting ready for school
"good morning sweetie" I answer excited
"why weren't you answering my calls Evy" my best friend Cathy says
"sorry darling I had left my phone in my room "
" let me guess that evil family of yours still makes you work before school why don't you just come and live with my family we already consider you our own " I smile at her words I would really love to but I can't, I don't want to be labeled ungrateful
"cat you know I can't just walk away from my family there....."
"yeah yeah I already know what you are going to say Evy you are too kind for your own good, anyways enough about that it's too early in the morning for negativity so get ready I'll come and pick you up in twenty minutes" Cat says before hanging up the call before I could even respond
god this girl is going to be the death of me
I quickly get ready in my black high waisted shorts with a big shirt which hides my figure.
I don't particularly have a bad figure I just don't like advertising it so I'm always in buggy clothes
after putting my rose scented perfume I tie my hair in a high ponytail.
okay so like I'm not that short I'm about 5ft9inches taller than most girls, light skin but not too light I have long black curly hair reaching my waist and a good figure eight body or in other words hour glass shape.
I don't like showing my body because everytime I wear a bodycon boys look at me like they have seen a new meal
I prefer being called a nerd or bookworm than being like those B3
the B3 are the most popular girls... you know cheerleaders and dating the school's heartthrob popular
but I'm the only one who calls them b3 meaning the Three bitches.
after getting ready my phone chimes with a new message I get my school bag and jog downstairs.
I greet my stepmom and dad good morning before continuing jogging outside before Cathy decide to leave me I can't afford being later for school or I'll miss my exam
I reach her car and open the door getting in the passenger seat putting on my sitbelt
"hi" I say panting slightly
"what are you wearing" cat asks me with fake surprise.
"clothes duh" I say looking at her like an alien and I can already tell where this conversation is going and I'm not going to like it
"come on Evy you need to learn to dress like a woman not like someone from the lost and found" cat says fixing her lipstick
"sorry but no I like my clothes just the way there are" cat is a bit of a fashion queen. she plans on going for fashion school after we graduate high school
"I know you do just saying you would look good and attract a potential someone if you dress a bit sexy "
"cat enough about clothes start the car before we are late for the examination" I say a bit annoyed at her her persistent
"fine fine relax tigeress" she says chuckling handing me a burger and I look at her confused
"I know you forgot to eat something " she says after seeing my confused face
