A stalker's desire (gxg) ON HOLD

Chapter five: the present

* Tina

I know I've been gone for long but maybe the time I was gone, made you think about your theories on the stalker! I can't wait to read all about it, so please tell me :)

Eva's POV:

"Today I want all of you to show your best side of yourself. The new students will arrive after lunch and I want all of you to give them a warm welcome.", the principle said at the beginning of our purity class. "I heard one of them has a lot of psychological problems.", Aubrey suddenly whispered towards me and I just shook my shoulders.

I could just feel sorry for them. Today they would find out what it meant to be sent here just because they expressed feelings for the same sex. I remember the disgusted expression my parents had when they saw me kissing her... It was just a short kiss on the lips. Nothing more. I couldn't deny that I had feelings for her. I never felt such things for anyone, but it never seemed wrong to me.

I was so happy, so how could it be wrong? And yet this ended up being the biggest mistake of my life. Everyday, this school made sure to make me feel guilty for my feelings. So guilty, that I didn't even know what to think anymore. The principle held her typical speech about it as always but I was too trapped in my thoughts to listen.

After the class was finally over, Aubrey linked her arm in mine and walked me to the cafeteria for lunch. "The new students arrive after lunch, so I think we should advertise our cheerleader squad in the afternoon to them and have the tryouts tomorrow.", Aubrey suggested.

"Shouldn't we give everyone more time to practice?", I asked but she shook her head. "If they are worthy of being in the squad, then they should already be good dancers.", Aubrey replied and I just nodded. A lot of things happened today and I didn't want to argue with anyone.

We arrived at the cafeteria and today was the first day, where I wouldn't sit with Cecilia. I was still upset about what she said earlier and I really didn't want to deal with her. Aubrey noticed my unsure expression and put her arm around my waist. "You can sit with me. I'm sure Herriette wouldn't mind.", Aubrey said and I nodded.

Herriette did invite me to sit with her anyway and it could also be a good look for the principle when I sit with the most respected students. I had to proof to her that I was capable of being a captain. Aubrey and I stood in line for the food and I saw Cecilia walk to our usual table with her plate. I always asked myself why I was her only friend.

Sure she was sometimes hard to handle but other than that, she actually was a good student. She had good grades and was one of the best singers in choir. She wasn't like Rey or Cleo, who were basically outcasts. So what was wrong about her?

After Aubrey and I got our plates, we walked towards Cecilia's table. She looked at me very expecting and her jaw dropped when I ended up walking past her to Herriette's table. "Hey Herriette, I hope you don't mind that I bring Eva along.", Aubrey said while she sat down but Herriette just smiled at me. "Of course not. She is the cheerleader captain. She has a right to sit here.", she replied and I smiled back before I sat down next to Herriette.

"I'm very curious about the new students. I heard one of them has a lot of psychological issues but I'm sure the principle will take good care of her.", Herriette said. "How do you know about that?", I asked Herriette and Aubrey since both of them knew that. "Well, as the student council president and prefect we have a lot of trust of the principle. Sometimes we know things way earlier than other students.", Aubrey explained.
