Broken Within

CHAPTER 19 ◕‿◕

"I wish." I whispered.

"I'm gonna be honest, you're really strange." I smiled at her, and she smiled back.

"I know right? I love me too." She pushed away the hair covering half of her face, tucking it behind her ear. Eva was really beautiful, blue eyes black hair, really pale white skin. Like an ice witch.

"Yeah." I didn't know what else to say.

"When you'd get into Mellow High?" I asked.

"Transferred here middle of the semester first year in highschool."

"I still can't believe you've been here all along." I still couldn't believe it. A bunch of new students came in, and she was never introduced. Actually, I don't know if she was ever introduced by the principal or a teacher.

"There are many of us in oblivion. Neglected and forgotten. Probably because we have never drawn attention in anyway."

"Being in oblivion is it better than being recognized?" So she was a shadower. Shadower ninja.

"We wished to be recognized even with the complexities involved, but when we look at it all it's just about chasing clout and nothing else."

"People are popular too, you know? And they're living great." I said.

"Like your sisters?"

"....." She knew about my sisters too? That conversation between Eva and I... It's not something I can describe with a word, a sentence or paragraph. I mean my sisters were popular, but not many knew we were related.

"Hehehe." She chuckled softly" I know a little more than I should."

"If you're thinking about others, and only look at what you see outside you'd get the wrong idea. There's a lot we need to learn especially things like how to deal with foul foes, and this is especially for you." She added.

"Huh?" I was confused.

"You'll understand soon. Ariana, you can't stay silent all your life. You can't let small things weaken you, the worst is yet to come."

"What do you mean? The worst is yet to come?" Since did mellow high allow fortune tellers transfer.

Eva stood up." You'll understand, tough times like these are only the beginning."

"You... I don't understand... What do you mean?" I managed to speak up.

"Don't get worked up. You're young, inexperienced and yet to know how dangerous and cruel life might be."

"True. I know...." What experience did she have that made her speak like this. Her face was expressionless, but her words carried so much emotion. I could feel it.

"Don't mind me, I say things I'm not supposed to, and in the strangest ways too. I gotta go." She laughed a little.

"Your earpod." I stretched it to her.

"Thanks."

I wanted to stop her, she couldn't tell me not to be bothered after speaking like that. Thinking about what she said I knew I  had no experience what so ever, but those words were coming from a girl my age. She was quirky alright. I know I haven't learnt enough. The future was yet to come, she didn't have to add to my worries.

I stared at her back till she was out of sight. I sat on the bleachers for a while. Could the future any be worse than this? My teenage or childhood life wasn't something I could say I  enjoyed. What could be worse than that? I didn't believe life could be worse than it already was. My life was bad enough.

Actually it was about to get worse now that Nicole is here to back up Selena. I bent my head backwards the sun smiled widely at me, and I felt the heat on my skin. I wasn't sure I was ready to go back to class at all. Though I doubted that the Yate twins would be attending any classes that day.

"The worst is yet to come." Her words rang in my ears. I could get what she said out my head. No matter how much I tried to. Was it fear of the worst that was yet to come? Was it because a part of me felt like she was right.

The worst is yet to come  was another inscription of fear carved on every corner of my heart.

A/N
Just so you know. I'll be updating a chapter for the next four weeks after this double update. I have issues to sort, and I don't wanna leave you guys without anything to read. So I think a chapter every update is fair enough for all of us.

Also I finally decided that Eva would be the Sensei here, because mi gurl knows everything. Call her the omniscient character.( ◜‿◝ )♡

Do y'all think there's actually something WORSE yet to come? Comment to let me know.

One more question.
Would you prefer to be in the spotlight or shadow?

SEE Y'ALL NEXT WEEK;)
