Chereads / The Inner Me / Chapter 6 - Evelyn, the outcast.

Chapter 6 - Evelyn, the outcast.

I then remembered that I didn't even talk to Linda today. I scanned the lunch room with my eyes but she wasn't there. I went back to the classroom but she also wasn't there.

I decided to look around the whole school until I've found her. I continued looking and it felt like endless minutes, I looked and look until I found myself on the roof.

I moved closer to the edge until I could see the ground. If only I could throw my past down here and it'll break into shreds. The thoughts of my past made me start to shed tears.

I wanted to move closer but then I suddenly felt someone's arms around me, I felt a girl's boobs at my back. I thought maybe it was Linda but then I heard a female voice "Please don't do this, please I beg you". What is she talking about?.

"I know you might be facing problems, I understand that but taking your life won't change it, you should be courageous and face your problems and not end your life like this " she added.

Then I finally understood, she thought I was trying to commit suicide. That annoyed me.

Why would I even do that?

That made me so annoyed that all I could think of was giving her a good piece of my mind and venting on her.

Alas, when I pulled her arms from around me and I turned to look at her, I saw a girl pouring loads of tears from he eyes and it melted me.

Before I even realized myself I already hugged her. "Hey, hey stop crying okay, am not gonna do that"

I looked around and I saw a bench so I took her there and sat her down. I let her calm down and stop crying. "You misunderstood me, I was only looking at the scenery of the ground" I said the moment she stopped crying.

"But then why were you crying?" she asked with the expression of not believing my explanation. "well, I kinda thought of something that made me cry" "Ohh, sorry for being too emotional there" she replied with a smile.

Woah! I didn't know a smile could change a person's appearance. She's pretty cute.

"yeah you were pretty emotional there" I grinned. "well it's just that I relate to things like this..uhm.."

I observed her expression and I was sure that there's something on her mind she didn't wanna say so I interrupted so she wouldn't feel obligated to say what she doesn't want to "oh where are my manners, My name is Ella and yours?"

She gave me that cute smile again "Evan, my name's Evan"

Evan? Isn't that a guy's name or have I been home for too long and now my head is screwed?

She caught me "Don't think it too much, you can call me Evelyn I just shortened my name to Evan"

I replied with a guilty smile "oh okay lyn"

Lyn? What was that? Giving her nicknames already?

She smiled again and this time with a blush. For some reason I felt so relaxed with her, like she's always been my friend.

The bell rang for classes to continue. Linda must be in class now.

"okay Lyn, I have to to class now and you should too, bye" "byee" she replied with her smile.

I ran off to class. I sat on my seat and I looked towards Linda's table and It was like she knew it, she turned back and smiled at me.

I found you!

The door of the class opened up and a girl came in. It was Evelyn.

Lyn is in my class?, how come I never noticed her.

My eyes followed her has she walked down to her seat. She had a special seat, it was detached from the whole class. I wanted to ask Cole about her so I turned to Cole's seat but I saw another classmate sitting there.

I looked around the class until I found him sitting close to Jerald and they were staring at each other.

Tch! I should've known

I held them both on their ears "y'all want to act all lovey dovey on me right, so since I helped you get to your Iove, am of no use anymore right Cole?"

"Am sorry great Uniter! Can you please let go of Jerald's ears" he replied with the fingers on his two arms interlocked.

I released my grip "Tch! So cheesy, well I wanted to ask if that girl over there has always been in this class and why is her seat detached" I pointed over to Lyn.

The expression on his face changed completely like some dark spirit entered him then he went quiet. In fact everyone went dead silent. It was like I triggered something on.

I noticed that Linda stood up and went out of the class.

At a flash, the lights in the classroom went off and a center light was turned on on Cole.

Okay this got weird fast. And where is that light coming from?

Then suddenly Cole started,

"it was two years ago, when a new girl came into this class, Evelyn. Everybody liked her especially Linda at least that is what we thought"

Huh?

.

He continued "one day, Linda suddenly picked a fight with her. 'stop calling me your friend, I can never be friends with a dweeb like you'"

Hmm.. Where have I heard that before? Oh well..

"After that, Linda warned everyone to not associate with Evelyn or they would be dealt with and that is how Evelyn became the outcast of the class. She became invisible"

Yeah, I surely didn't see I when I came into this class. But that really doesn't sound like something Linda could do. Is that why she left the class?

Suddenly the lights came on back and everyone continued there normal activities. Cole held my cheek "you must be very special because Linda isn't hard on you"

"Or maybe you're still in the early stage before betrayal" Cole said as he turned back to Jerald.
