Chapter 10 - Leo’s Secret

After spring break was over, everyone returned to their normal routines. It was time to go back to school. As usual, Eva and Leo walked to school together and then went their separate ways when they arrived at the courtyard. Eva still didn't know what Leo did when they were apart. As leader of the bell tower kids, Eva was greeted warmly by everyone. She eventually made her way to Kiersten and Lisa. "Hey you guys!" Eva said. "Hey!" Kiersten replied. "That was some spring break, huh?" Eva asked. "You can say that again! I can't remember the last time I had so much fun!" Said Lisa. "This summer I'm going back to Spain for my birthday, and my brother's wedding! Would you guys like to come?" "Sorry, I can't." Kiersten said. "I keep a summer job to help save for college." "Oh, well, what about you, Lisa?" "I'm going to England to visit my grandparents." Lisa replied. "Oh, ok. Well I guess it'll just be Leo and I then." Said Eva. "I hope you guys have fun!" Kiersten said.

"Look at her, leader of the dorky bell tower kids." Kelly said watching from a distance. "Really, I don't see why Leo likes her so much." Haley added. "Let's see what happens when I embarrass little Eva in front of the whole school." Kelly said with a twisted grin. "Yeah, I doubt she'll ever want to be near Leo again after you get through with her!" Haley said laughing.

As the bell rang everyone went to their classes. Eva went to her locker to grab some books. She sighed. "I wish spring break didn't have to end. We were having so much fun!" Eva thought. As she opened her locker, suddenly, tons of photos fell all over the floor. "What the-?" Eva said as she reached for one. She looked in horror as she saw that the picture was Leo's face on a naked man's body. Everyone around her started picking them up and laughing. "My, my, my. I knew you liked Leo, but not this much!" Kelly said taking a picture with her phone. "Ooh, I can't wait to show everybody your newly found affections for the school hunk!" As Kelly said this, Eva burst into tears and ran away. She ran into the bathroom and started sobbing. "I can't believe Kelly would do this! And for what? Being friends with Leo?!" Eva said between sobs.

As first period began, Lisa looked worryingly at Eva's empty seat. "I wonder what could've happened to her. She was just at the courtyard this morning." Lisa thought. As first period turned into the second, Eva was still in the bathroom curled up on top of a toilet seat. "I should never see Leo again." Eva began to say. "If this is the way I'm going to be treated."

By lunch-time, Lisa turned to Kiersten. "Have you seen Eva?" Lisa asked. "No, why?" "Because she wasn't in Spanish class this morning and now she's not here at lunch!" "What? Really?" Kiersten paused. "I wonder what happened." There was quite a commotion at the popular table. Students were crowded around Kelly as she showed everyone a picture of Eva holding a picture of a supposedly naked Leo.

"Can you believe that slut?!" Kelly said laughing. Just then, someone grabbed Kelly's phone out of her hand. Kelly turned around. "Oh, hello Leo! There's something you should know. Did you know that Eva-" As she said this, Leo crushed her phone with his bare hand.

"My phone!" Kelly exclaimed with a horrified expression. "How dare you try to humiliate Eva." Leo said infuriated. "I-I didn't. Actually!" Kelly said composing herself. "I simply caught her in the act." She said with her head held high. "Oh really? You mean the way your mother caught you in the act?" Leo said staring her down. Suddenly, her confidence began to deteriorate. "Caught in the act of what? I don't know what you're talking about." Leo pulled out a police report and threw it on the table. "The act of making love to your father." Everyone was in absolute shock. Kelly panicked and tried to grab the report but one of the kids grabbed it first and started to read. "It really must have been the most horrific night of your mother's life." Leo said plainly. "Yo, it's true! Look at this seal!" One guy said. "It says here Kelly's dad has life in prison!" Another guy said. "How did you find this?" Kelly asked angrily as tears welled up in her eyes. "I have my ways." Leo said. Kelly ran off crying hysterically.

As the bell rang for school to let out, Eva cautiously walked out of the bathroom. She looked down as she walked quickly. As she looked up from time to time to make sure she didn't bump into anyone, she noticed that the students seemed intimidated by her. "Huh? That's strange. I would've thought they'd be laughing at me by now." Eva thought. As she entered the courtyard, Kiersten and Lisa ran up to her but she barged through. "I'm sorry you guys, but I gotta go!" Eva said running off. As she saw Leo waiting for her she looked away and ran past him, but Leo caught her by the arm. "What's the matter?" Leo asked. "Let me go! I gotta go home!" Eva said struggling to break free. A crowd began to form as this was taking place. Leo forcefully embraced her and refused to let her go as she struggled. Finally she gave up. "Calm down Eva, I know what happened to you." Leo said softly. "Which is why it would be better if we weren't friends anymore!" Eva exclaimed. "It's okay, I took care of it. No one thinks you took those pictures anymore. And I feel Kelly is no longer popular." "W-What do you mean?"

As they walked home, Leo explained what happened. "You did all that for me?" Eva asked. "I didn't want the likes of Kelly to ruin our friendship." Leo replied. "So wait; how did you know what happened between Kelly and her father?" "I just know." Eva stopped. "That doesn't make any sense." Leo sighed. "If I told you a secret, would you promise not to tell?" "Of course I wouldn't." Eva said. "Well." Leo began. "I'm psychic." Eva paused and laughed a little. "You're kidding!" She said skeptically. "It's true. I knew she was going to do this a long time ago. So I hacked into the police reports to find a statement of Kelly's incident." "Wait, so if you're psychic then what am I thinking about right now?" Eva asked curiously. Leo paused, then said, "You're thinking about a jade vase with five red roses." Eva's jaw dropped. "I told you." Leo said smiling as he walked away.

"Wait!" Eva said catching up to him. "So you really are psychic?" "Yes." "Then why did you never tell me?" Eva asked. "Because I figured a time like now would be the best time to tell you." "So the supernatural is real?!" Eva asked bewildered. "Of course it is." Leo said. "Wow, I'll have to look into this! As they stopped in front of Eva's house, Eva thanked Leo for everything and went inside. Little did Eva know that this day would be the day that turned Eva's whole world upside down!
