The next day Eve doesn't have any issues. She doesn't see Evan, or any of his buddies at all. She figures they must be in detention or something. She really hopes they aren't here because they're too hurt.

Another plus is that the principal doesn't bother her at all! No questions! Or summons to the office in the middle of class! Nobody seems to be gossiping about her or a fight, so she tries to have a normal day.

At lunch she thinks she seen Derek in the cafeteria, but he's walking away too fast to be sure. She's about to follow when she feels a hand on her waist. She looks up to see it's Danny. He smiles at her and leads her to a table in the back of the cafe. They have their lunch and then go off to their respective classes.

She makes it to the end of the day without any issues, and is happily leaving the school, when she sees Evan and his buddies waiting for her. She picks up the pace and tries to walk around them, but they follow her.

"Wait!" Derek says.

"We just need to talk to you for a second!" Evan says.

She spins around, so fed up with them. "What! Could you possible have to say?! That I would want to hear?!?!" She's shouting, but she doesn't care.

"We're sorry!" They say in unison, and they each hold out pieces of folded paper.

Her anger disappears, and is immediately replaced by confusion. She takes the papers, one at a time, cautious. As if they might explode at her or something. After she has read all three, and the surprise has faded off her face, she finally speaks. "Thank you. You can go now."

They walk away and she continues on her way home. "What an arrogant turdhead!" She mutters under her breathe. But her face is split by a giant grin.
