Zeya's pov

The outside world from my window is darkly cladded. The summer heat seems to be residing with us throughout this whole year. My thighs are sweating like crazy and even after wearing shorts, it's barely helpful.

Books sprawled in front of me have taken up the whole bed. This is what happens when I try to study.

I am forcing myself to study, but all I can do is keep on thinking about Ezra. The paper bag sits on my study table, and the handkerchief is still inside it. Another reason to keep being reminded about that moron.

I have tried to ask myself numerous times why I hate him. There are reasons, and it's valid that it was because of him I was drenched in dirty water that day. Also, he took my handkerchief without my permission.

The most important thing that ticks me off is his attitude. That's the sole reason why I can't stand him.

He was grinning at me while handing me the bag. I don't think I looked funny while riding my bike. And why is it that when I think of him, he appears out of nowhere in reality?

I had thought he would meet me at home itself. I guess he didn't want to explain anything to Mom or anybody in general. Looks like he didn't even tell this to Eva as well.

After leaving him behind, I sped up like crazy and reached home in two minutes when it was supposed to take five minutes to reach. All I wanted was to run as far as I could, and I did.

I was out of breath from cycling so hard. Mum was shocked to see my condition. My shirt was completely drenched with sweat, my face covered in perspiration, and I looked like I was going to faint any moment.

Either way, it's done with. Now we will have no reason to even think of seeing each other's faces.

I had been staring into nothingness who knows for how long, but I get pulled out of it when my phone starts vibrating.

It's Eva. I smile at the thought of her.

Her voice comes from the other way too loudly, almost crashing my eardrums.

"Zeeeeyaaa, I miss you. It's been so long since we saw each other. How are you and how's Sienna?"

She had always called my mum by her name and my mum was chill about it. Even though I prefer calling Aunty Eleanor, Aunty. I just can't simply call someone elder by their name.

" I am fine. And yeah, I also miss you.
What's going on with you? Did you go to school today?"

"I know that you can't miss me more than me missing you. School's just going more like I'm dragging by. It's so boring that I can't comprehend it. I don't get along with the girls in my class and the one I used to be friends with, moved to another school.

I can understand her pain. If it wasn't for Ster, I wouldn't have survived high school. It's hard fitting in with a bunch of people.

" It's really hard. Kinda sucks when you think of this cruel reality. But hey, now you have me. At least I'm at a reachable distance than being thousand miles away like before."

I can almost feel her smile through the phone. She's such a warm person. It's hard not becoming friends with her.

She suddenly proposes, " We can do a hangout at my house or yours each weekend. This way, we can have long nights of gossiping. Don't say no. Please, please, if you deny this, you will be accused of my death."

"You're threatening me. How uncouth of you, Ms. Eva. You love to twist me with your plans. Ain't you cunning little kitten."

I can hear her howling on the other end. Then she starts coughing from laughing so hard.
