The Girl who Never Noticed.

Chapter fourteen.

Evelyn.

After getting back home, i directly went to bed, not worrying about Zachary and Faith getting along. I'm sure they'll find a way to spend their time together.

---

I peeled my eyes opened as i was frustratingly awoken by the sound of my buzzing phone.
It was the unknown number again.

Hint #2: i don't only kill for justice, love plays a major role in this bloodbath too xx

Blood drained from my face as i felt my heart drop into my stomach.

A knock on my door broke my trance and i heard Zachary's muffled voice, "Eve?"

"Y-yeah?" I breathed out.

"Are you okay? Can i come in?" He asked.

"I'm fine. You can come in," i said.

With that, i heard my door click and he swiftly walked to my side of the bed, sitting down, causing the bed to droop. As usual, he wore a smug smirk and a glint of emotion was present in his dark eyes. His gaze fell on me and the atmosphere changed into something thick, intense.

I broke the eye contact and felt myself go red. I tried to hide my face with my hair that curtained it, but Zachary obviously had other plans when he tucked the strand of my hair behind my ear with a chuckle.

"Where's Faith?" I asked, trying to lighten the environment in the suffocatingly awkward room.

"Her mum called, she had to go back home," he stated casually.

"Okay," i mumbled.

"Anyways, i came to ask you; the text you got - it wasn't from some 'boyfriend', right?" He avoided eye contact.

My eyes widened as he had caught me off guard. I did not expect that question, not in a million years.

I mean, sure, he may like me, but that doesn't mean that he would invade my privacy because of his jealousy and possessiveness.

When i digested his question, i slowly answered, "no, it wasn't a boyfriend?"

He sighed in relief before asking again, "it was the unknown, wasn't it?"

I hummed my respond and before he could interrogate me further, i said, "we do have Spanish exam tomorrow..we need to study."

"Sure," he agreed.

"Just give me half an hour and i'll be ready," i smiled.

"Okay," he smiled back.

---

After taking a shower, i settled into my outfit of my black ripped skinny jeans and red V-neck shirt, leaving my hair in a fishtail braid, not really caring about applying make up.

Rushing downstairs, i saw Zachary sitting by the dining table with papers and the Spanish book scattering all over the table.

"Time to work," he enthusiastically clapped his hand.

---

I groaned before looking at Zachary. I pouted, "can we please have a small break?"

He playfully glared at me, "fine. And don't pout like that."

"Why?" For the sake of annoying him, i pouted again.

He rubbed his face before snapping, "just don't."

Surprised by his sudden shortage of temper, i mumbled, "okay."

After a period of silence, i decided to break it, "do you want to eat or drink something?"

"Water will do," he smiled.

I smiled and stood up, then he called out for me, "i'll come with you."

"Okay."

I threw a water bottle towards Zachary, which he successfully caught and i started grabbing berries and getting them ready to blend the berried into smoothies.

As i was working on the counter i felt a presence behind me and from his cologne, i knew it was Zachary. His breath fanned my neck and stirred my hair causing me to shiver and the hair behind my neck stood in attention.

His voice was husky and hoarse as he whispered in my ears, "eres muy hermosa"

I stiffened, and turned around, craning my neck in confusion as i looked at him questioningly.

He just sighed and shook his head before leaving to the living room without any other word uttered.

I stared blankly at the door where he was a minute ago before shaking it away. From his accent, i could make out that it was Spanish, but i did not understand what he meant.

I shook the butterflies that churned in my stomach away and prepared my smoothy to finish off the rest of Spanish.

---
I bid Zachary goodbye before making my way upstairs and changing into something comfortable, getting ready for bed.

Just as i was about to drift off to dreamland, i remembered the thing Zachary told me in Spanish and my eyes shot open.

After finding my phone and after a couple of tried, i was able to find the translation of what he meant. I gasped.

"You're very beautiful."
