||If anyone asked me
     "What is hell? "

      People who love

"Did you just say that Alyssa is someone's childhood friend?" Carter said suspiciously

"Yeah, she is my childhood friend?" Eva answered more like a question

What should I do? Should I tell him the truth? Will he question me about my whereabouts? No, I shouldn't tell him. What happens if they find out about my abuse? My uncle is a great threat. No. There are already enough problems in my life.

"Yeah we were talking about our memories" I reassured, smiling

"Um, wait why are you eavesdropping?" Eva asked pointing at Carter, squinting her eyes.

"NO, I am not eavesdropping. You are just too loud" Carter answered, mimicking her.

"What? No, I am not" She defended putting her hands in her waist.

"Yes, you are Miss Evangeline Black" Carter mimicked her again.

"NO-

Before they start fighting I interrupted her. "Eva we should probably get going. Bye Carter" with that I dragged Eva away from Carter

"Wait, Alyssa right?" Carter asked

"Hi, we haven't introduced properly. I am Carter Jones" He stretched his hand showing me his goofy smile.

"Hi, Alyssa West. Nice to meet you"

"West? Umm, why does it sound familiar?" Carter mumbled.

"It's because you know her you dumbo" Eva mumbled under her breath so that Carter can't hear. I pinched Eva giving her a daring look.

"Anyway, I like your dimples. It reminds me of someone I used to cherish. See you later Alyssa and you too miss BLACK" Carter waved us and then disappeared in a hallway

I gave Eva Is-there-something-you-want-to-talk-about look.

"What?" she questioned

"Miss BLACK hah. I like it. No scratch that I loved it."

"Ughh." She made a disgusting face and said, "I hate you"

"Yeah, yeah. So what happens about tutoring Mr. JONES?" I asked her

"There's nothing much. We decided that we will be studying in a school library." she shrugged

"Oh Shoot! Why can't it be at your house?"

"What? Shut up" Her cheeks has now faint red blush

"Do you like him?" I asked her biting my lip to stop squealing.

What? Don't judge me. Every girl likes to scream if she finds out that her best friend has a crush on someone, right?

"No" She answered blushing. This is not the Evangeline Black that I know.

"OH MY GODDDDD!! I can see that he also likes you girl" By now Eva was red as a tomato

We sat at our usual table in the cafeteria, gossiping about our hot crushes on TV.

"Hey, my ladies" We turned around to see smiling Ava. She is kind of related to the Jones; Carter's mother which I haven't seen is Ava's aunt. So she sometimes hangs with us even though she is a junior. She also knows about my little secret.
