Second Period – ENGLISH

“Okay class, today I am going to start a new topic. Eva, pay attention.”

‘Yes, Ms. Evans.’

“Meet me after class.”

‘Uh, okay.’

After Class

“Eva, is something bothering you?”

‘No, Ms. Evans. Everything is fine.’

“You look so pale, have you been eating properly?”

‘Um….’

“Why have you been lying to me?”

‘I am sorry.’

“It isn’t about saying sorry, what if something happens to you?”

‘No one even cares.’

“I do.”

AFTER SCHOOL

“Hey, there slut.”

‘My name is Eva.’

“Duh, we like calling you names. They suit you better.”

‘Joseph, please.’

“This is your punishment”

‘NOOOO.’

“And this time there will be no Ms. Evans to protect you. She already knows the truth.”

Few Moments Later

“Oh my god, who did this to you Eva?”

‘Ms. Evans, I just fell. I will be fine.’

“No, you may not.”

‘I WILL.’

“I am taking you home, Eva.”

‘You don’t have to, Ms. Evans.’

“I even need to see your parents.”

‘Um, you cannot see them.’

“Why? Are they out of the station?”

‘Ms. Evans they left me alone when I was three.’

“They separated?”

‘THEY ARE DEAD, Ms. Evans.’

“Oh god, I am really very sorry Eva.”

‘You are not. No one is.’

“I am different.”

‘…’

“You know nothing about me yet.”

“Eva, whom do you live with?”

‘My aunt.’

“Is she home?”

‘Yeah, she is.’

“Okay, I will take you there. You won’t be able to carry yourself there.”

HOME

“Where is your aunt?”

‘She must have gone grocery shopping.’

‘You can leave now; I will go and take a shower. And then I will be perfectly fine.’

“Take care, Eva. See you tomorrow at school.”

‘Sure, Ms. Evans.’
