Broken Within

CHAPTER 19 ◕‿◕

"You could have told me. You missed when I tripped and Selena caught me."

"How could I? When all you see is Cole. Hold that thought, Selena broke your fall?" Melanie raised her left brow.

"For the show." I exhaled.

"Of course. But I'm sure you didn't notice I was gone cause your eyes were fixed on Cole."

"Oh. Don't even start." I sighed."Carver and Eva are gone."

"Eva? Who's that?"

"......" Melanie didn't know Eva? She must be new then. Melanie knew everyone, famous, infamous, nerds and the shadowers. Shadowers in mellow high are those invisible to the social circle.

Melanie's phone rang, and her face lit up. "It's that hot senior from Weston college. I gotta take this, I'll be back in a few swii." She said gasping at the sight of her screen.

Well I was alone...again, and I felt like I should clear my head. I thought about looking for Cole. I went to the soccer field to find out that none of the boys on the soccer team were there. It was quite a sunny day. I sat down on the bleachers and plugged my ears, I guessed it was already lunch time at the moment so I felt clearing my head would be nice. I listened to Illenium's- afterlife it made me drift deep into my thoughts.

It was nice. I slowly drifted into bliss. A tap on my shoulder made me jerk back to self consciousness, and it pretty much made my heart jump. I was stunned to see Eva sit next to me. She stared into space without saying a word. She seemed mysterious you'd never notice her presence until she made you aware of it. I thought she'd make an awesome spy.

"Hi?" I removed my earpod so I could hear her response, also so I could make sure that I wasn't being too loud.

"Hey." She sat still, staring into space.

She was plugged, but I could hear the music from her ear pods. She was listening to Billie eilish's "lovely" ft Khalid. The song always made multiple emotions awaken within me.

"You listen to her?"

"Yes, I do." She faced me.

"Nice." She removed one of the pods and handed them over to me.

"Rare to meet someone with the same music taste as I. Someone who doesn't think it's all dark and moody."

"I understand you. We're different, in love with music that connects to the soul." I smiled at her, and she nodded slowly then continued to stare at the empty soccer field. The next song played" no time to die." I guess she only picked Billie songs to listen to.

"You left class abruptly. Hummm...."

"I announced my exiting away from the class apparently you all were lost in your bickering."

"Oh." I lowered my head.

Eva sighed" Chill. I'm used to it."

"Oh. Well..." I didn't know what to say. "If it makes you feel better I understand how that feels."

"I know you do." She smiled a bit.

"So you new?" I asked. I don't know why I wanted to keep taking to her.

"I've been in the same class with you for a year now." Okay that was creepy as fuck because I never knew Eva.

"....." Okay. This was it, Who was she?! I thought to myself.

"I know you're freaked out. I understand. In a class so populous only few have noticed for one reason or another. Sometimes it's better to be in  oblivion."
