Chapter 2 - The Tweet

Chapter 2 - The Tweet

"Eve! Oh my god, have you heard it yet?" Emma said, between her breaths. She accidentally slammed shut my locker while my fingers are still in there lingering for my books.

"Ouch, Em!"

"Sorry! But this is more important than your finger." She lets out her phone and began scrolling down. "Today, when i arrived, Rachel--our senior you know? she grabbed my arm and showed me this."

I lean in to get a closer look. In the screen was Finn Lloyd tweet saying : Going to sleep. Bye @Eve #oops

"WHAT!?"

In instant everyone around us turned to look. I didn't care about the looks they're giving me, i care about the tweet that Finn tweeted. Now everyone knew he got a crush on me! But isn't that a good thing? I'll get noticed by the whole school maybe by Zayn...no! i don't want to get noticed like this. What if everybody thinks that we're dating? that we're secretly in a relationship? oh no--i don't even want to think about it. God why did he has to say it on Twitter! it's like the most popular social media in this age! He just wants attention--But there's a lot of Eve in this school right? It's not only me. Wait, last i checked i'm the only one in the school with the name Eve...But i don't socialized much, everybody probably--

"It's over. They'll know." I slumped my head back to the locker. What a mess.

"Hey! at least he tweeted it past midnight. Everybody probably asleep that time right?"

"If everybody's asleep then why did you see it, Em?" I retorted. "Correction. Why did Rachel saw it? By the end of lunch the whole school will probably know. 100% positive." Rachel Morris is one of the popular girls in the school. No doubt, it will spread.

Emma grab my shoulder in a reassuring way. "Look at the bright side! Maybe you'll get noticed by Zayn."

I gave her a thin smile. "We'll see."

As school goes on, i started to receive strange stares and points. I  would sometimes caught someone pointing at me and whispering to his or her friend. It made me insecure especially when they began staring at me from up to the bottom. The only reason they're doing this is probably about that damn tweet. The one that Finn tweeted. If only he's not my senior, I would have punch him in the face.

It was lunch time and i could feel all eyes on me as i make my way through the crowd. I sit on my usual table, waiting for Heather and Emma.

"So," Heather said, slipping to the seat beside me. Her tray's full of vegetarian stuffs. Broccoli, carrots, tomatoes..."How are you handling the fame?"

I stab my broccoli as i imagine Finn's face in it. "What fame?"

"Oh please, everybody knows now that Finn is crushing on you." She said. "I'm surprise that you haven't told me yet about the tweet."

"I just found out about the tweet this morning."

Heather shrugged. "Well, the whole school probably knows." She began munching off her carrot like a rabbit. Heather might not look like it, but she's a 100% vegetarian. "Hey where's Emma?"

"Here." Emma slide herself to sit in front of me. "Eve, you'll be surprise when i tell you--" She didn't finished her sentence she was about to say. Instead her mouth started to part open in a surprise. "Oh god. Eve. Harry. He's pointing at you. They're coming."

I raise my eyebrow at Emma and decided to turned back to see what she's talking about. In asnwer, i found myself facing the One Direction boys minus Zayn and plus Finn.

Louis was putting his arm around Finn. Finn tried to let go of his grasp but Louis has secured him firmly in his arms. He smirked at the sight of me and said, "So, this is the girl?"

"Yeah." Harry said. He was giving me a devilish smile but his green eyes reflected...guilt, as if saying 'sorry but the boys wanted to meet you.' I've always liked harry since the first time i knew him. He's always been fun to be around with. And not to forget that curly locks and dimples. No wonder he's in the top five ladies man in the school. But at that time, i just wanted to yell at him for showing me to them. They'll probably teased me around afterwards. But it's not his fault either so i let it go.

"Wow going for the juniors aren't you Finn?" Liam said as he gave Finn a light bump on the shoulders.

"We should go." Finn suggest, barely a whisper.

"Go? We just arrived Finn! We should get to know the girl at least." Niall said. He was grinning at me like i'm a frisbee and he's a dog. Which i meant was cute if it wasn't in this situation.

"That is right Nialler!" Louis exclaimed. He let go of his grip on Finn, swept my hand to his lips and gave it a light kiss. "What's your name pretty lady?"

I stammered. Nobody has ever treated me like that. And to have someone like Louis Tomlinson do that to me...it's something i would cherish, if again, isn't in this situation. I could see that people have started to looked at my direction. Everybody's staring. "Evelyn. Evelyn Rose."

"Lou! Eleanor's looking." Niall alerted. Eleanor is Louis's girlfriend as i heard. She's apparently joining a modelling school, which gave off that nice body and pretty features. I looked at the direction Niall was looking and sure Eleanor's there, sitting with her friends. She has his palms over his mouth, giggling. She's sitting with Liam's girlfriend too, Danielle

"Hi babe!" Louis said, grinning and waving at Eleanor. In reply, she waved back. He's still holding my palm gently and i just realized that his palm is so...soft.

Liam cleared his throat. Louis stopped what he was doing and turned to looked at him. He let go of my hand which is unfortunate. "Eve--can i call you that?" Liam asked and i nodded. "Last night, i was looking at my twitter and i found a tweet. An interesting one perhaps, written by Finn Lloyd here who is by the way right beside me. He wrote..."

"Going to sleep. Bye at Eve, hash tag oops." Niall continued. He was still grinning.

I gulped and i know i just had to get out of here. I can't handle the pressure that the whole school are looking and that i am being investigated by these good-looking boys. If only there's Zayn maybe i could stay for a little while and enjoyed my view but there's no trace of him. And in his place is a 5 ft 5 boy, which i guess is an attention seeker, with no responsibility of the tweet that he has tweeted about me, with the name of Finn Lloyd

"I need to go." I turned and gather up my books and bags. "Sorry, but I--I need to go." I avoided their gazes and ran to the exit. I could hear Louis calling my name and Niall said something like maybe another time.

Another time? Good luck on finding me then.
