You're Next |Billie Eilish

1: Meeting Eva

 

   "Ugh, I'm so fucking sick of this city!" I yelled out loud.

"You can't complain, I've told you to leave so many times," Jayla said as she rolled her eyes.

Me and Jayla used to be roommates, until she moved out. I don't know what mind control they used to convince my best friend to move out, but I need to get my hands on that.

Jayla finally came over though. Took so long to get her to leave her... group home? I'm not sure what it is. I think it's weird though. What's also weird is she can barely have her phone.

We were chilling on my bed, when I noticed she was starting to fall asleep. So I threw a pillow at her face.

"Don't sleep on me loser," I said.

"Mm I wasn't... just resting my eyes," she mumbled.

"Hm sure, didn't you wanna show me something?" I asked.

"Oh yeah!" She exclaimed as she jumped up from bed.

"You're finally coming to see where I live,"

Gross.

"I've already told you Jay, I don't wanna go to your little sleepover home," I replied.

"Pleaseeee, I don't know when the next time I'll see you will be," she said.

"You could always just come over... can't you?" I asked.

She didn't say anything.

Then she grabbed her keys and said "Let's go!"

*time skip

Once we got there, I could already spot someone.

I saw someone gardening. But all I could see was that she had blonde hair.

Once we stepped out the car, blondie immediately came to hug Jayla.

I stood there as they hugged.
Once they were done, Jayla walked inside and left me there with blondie.

I smiled awkwardly at her.

"I'm Eva, what's your name?" She said with a smile on her face.

"Um, my name's Jax," I said dryly.

She kept smiling at me all weird.

"Jax... you know, I feel like I have this connection with 'J' names," she said.

"Jayla... Jax... Jemma, it's almost like this was meant to be,"

"Um okay... do you mind if I get by? I'm just here to hang with Jay," I said.

Right then, I got a notification. When I opened it, I saw that my friend Ky sent me a video of him falling.

"Hahaha such a dumbass" I laughed.

I could feel her still staring at me.

"Don't let your phone consume you," I heard Eva say.

I looked up at her with a confused face.

Then she backed up to let me go by.
So I did.

Once I got inside I saw the other girls Jayla lived with.

"Jax, meet Jemma, Jade, Jules and Jasmine," Jayla said.

"What the fuck y'all got going on?" I laughed out loud.

"What do you mean?" Jade asked.

"I mean would y'all have even let me through the door if my name didn't start with a 'J'?" I asked.

Then Eva walked in, and everyone had their eyes on her.

"My name doesn't start with a 'J'," she said.

"What are you like the cult leader or something?"
I joked.

"What are you talking about?"

"This isn't a cult. Jax. Everyone here lives freely as we discover our true selves," she spoke.

I call bullshit.

I stayed silent as she walked past me.

"Have a seat," she said.

Everyone sat down. And so did I.

"Where's Maria?" Eva asked.

Which I found funny, but I tried my best to hold in my laugh.

"What's funny?" Jayla asked.

"C'monnnn Jay, this is ridiculous!" I laughed.

"I mean did Maria sneak in or some shit? How did she wound up here? Her name starts with an 'M' in case you didn't notice"

Then, Eva gave me a little smirk as she kept staring at me.

"You're funny, I like you Jax," she said.

"Great news! Did I make it into your cult?" I asked sarcastically.

She just kept smiling.

Then another girl walked in, which I'm assuming is Maria.

She walked right over to Eva before even saying hi to anyone else.

She leaned over Eva and then... kissed her!

Immediately no.

"Um, Jay, I got work in the morning, Imma head out," I said.

I was completely weirded out. I'm not staying any longer. I've seen the movies. I don't know how Jay ended up in a group home with a bunch of white girls. Hasn't she seen 'Get out'?

"It's late, why don't you spend the night?" Eva offered.

"Stay Jax, you don't even work on Mondays," Jayla added.

I guess one night couldn't hurt. As long as these other girls don't talk to me, I'm good.

"Fine, but I'm calling an Uber first thing tomorrow morning," I said.

"Yay, we can have a sleepover!" Jemma exclaimed.

Or so I think Jemma said that. All these names. It's hard to keep up. I knew Jade though. She's real pretty. She had dark hair and dark brown eyes.

"C'mon Jax! Let's go find you some pj's to wear," Jayla said as she grabbed me outta my seat.

As I followed her, I could see that Eva never took her eyes off of me. If she weren't so attractive, I'd be more weirded out.
