Paige

Prologue

3 months earlier

"Ok class, today we have a new student with us, Paige! Could you stand up honey and say something about yourself?" A tall, black haired girl stood up in the back of the classroom with confidence. It was unusual for a new student to make a friend on the first day let alone be confident, yet somehow she had already done both those things within a matter of minutes.

"Hi," she said with a smirk plastered on her face, "as you know I'm Paige and I just moved here from New York." She stood there for a minute looking at all of us like she was superior but her eyes settled on me, and her smirk grew.

Across the lunch room I could hear laughs and Paige's name be said repeatedly until I could tell she was coming closer. There was a sudden tap on my shoulder . "Hi, I'm Paige." She said to me as she sat down.

"Uhh, hi."

"Well don't just stare at me what's your name." She said politely but you could tell she had underlying frustration with my hesitance.

"Eve"  I choked out as I tried to chew my sandwich at the same time.

"Eve. I like that. So tell me Eve why are you eating lunch alone?"

I shrugged and felt uncomfortable. It's not like I just met her and she already was getting into all of my business or anything. "Don't really have any friends" she gave me an indescribable look of confusion.

"Did someone hurt you?" I choked on my food a bit. This girl really had no boundaries.

"It's a long story.." I said trying to avoid the question as much as possible.

"Then give me the short version." Internally I gave up and began to talk seeing as she wasn't going to stop invading my privacy.

"Well I was friends with this girl an-"

"Who?" I sat there for a minute. I really didn't want to cause more drama for myself by telling her but she just stared at me waiting for an answer.

"Her names Holly, she-"

"Oh I know Holly. She sits next to me in Bio." Shit. Shit. Shit. She knows her, so now if she talks to her about it Holly will hate me even more.

"Oh.. Yeah. Um but long story short I wasn't 'cool' enough to be her friend once high school came around."

"Nonsense. Your cool enough for me. Let's do this again sometime? Tomorrow maybe?" She said just as the bell rang. With that she stood u land walked away before hearing my reply.
