Eva's POV

Shit

Shit

Shit

Can this day get any worse? I just missed my bus and it is raining seriously like hell. Screw this weather. Ugh I hate my life now I have to take a taxi and the little money I saved has to go for taxi. I still hate my life.

It is not one of all these new model phones but it works for me. I call a uber and wait for it to arrive and I am getting drenched in the rain. I sigh of relief when the taxi pulls besides me. I enter and remove my coat that has been absorbing the entire rain. The driver cast me a look telling me you are definitely ruining the leather of my seat. I give him an apologetic look and he looks ahead and drives.

I drop at school and pay the taxi I scurry to the hall way and go straight to the nurses room. Miss.  Rachael our school nurse allows me dry my coat in her office. I look at my watch. I have 10 minutes to make it to my locker and class in time for my nerdy self to be in class.

My head itches and I thank God my hair is not wet only this black wig which  I use to cover my red hair.  Yes natural red hair. The heavy glasses on my face hides the sharp green eyes I have underneath them.

I enter my class it's Miss Brown's maths class. It's like my best subject. Okay all subjects are my best subject maybe because you can describe me as a nerd. I am studying here because of a scholarship. I don't know my parents because I came from an orphanage. I stay with a 22 year old Keeley.  She is nice but doesn't stay at home at all times so it's just me always.

Okay so typical nerd a wig and thick rimmed glasses. Okay this glasses are essential but I have been told that I can use contact lenses. But this glasses help me keep my sparkling green eyes in check.

I sigh and turn to see others in my class. Behind me is my best friend from the orphanage Emma Drayton. Emma's brown hair is packed up in a pony tail and her brown eyes compliments her skin that isn't all that white. She has a little colour in it. She smiles brightly when she sees me and I return the smile.

Well this class consist of the high class girls which is obviously cheerleaders Darlene Stone, Emerald, Candice Abigail and Hannah. Then we have the boys that play football Henry Bryan, Dylan Stone,  James Tyler and Zack Talon. There is this guy cannot be considered a jock but is super very hot. He is Bennett Sparks.

Ms. Brown writes our work for the day on the board and gives us some exercise. I have done this before so I set my work sheet and begin to do my work for next week.

Every other person is looking busy but not doing their work. Ms. Brown goes into a slumber and the class becomes a circus every one is making noise here and there. I feel a gentle tap behind me.

"Eva can I get help with this question?" Emma ask me.

"Of course" I say and help her with the question.

Okay Emma was adopted and she lives with the Drayton. She is so lucky so she is not that smart but she gets good grades. She was never going to Riverdale High school but she transferred so we can see each other everyday.

"Can you come over before you go for your work at the filling room?" She asks me.

"Do you need help with any subject?"

"Yes Algebra, very essential" she said and then stressed her statement to express her displeasure in learning. "Or I will stay at home for a year"

"Okay but I have to leave before five. Can you allow your driver drop me?"

"Do you even need to ask me?" she asked rolling her eyes.

"Thanks Em."

"No need to thank me your nerdy genius." she says a smile lightining her face.

I smile at her "you know that tautology" I tell her and she sticks out her tongue for no obvious reason before speaking

"Thanks for stating the obvious" she says rolling her eyes.

"You are welcome" I say with dripping sarcasm.

I continue helping her with the work before the bell goes off and I go to my next class.

Unfortunately I have only one class with Emma. I have with so many other random people I can't remember their names. Not that I can't remember I just don't care enough to know.

I want to pass through Riverdale go to a great university like Yale or Oxford and become an accountant or a business admistrator.

The day passes by and I get to see Emma waiting by my locker. I keep my books and take some essential I get my coat from the nurses office it is well dried now.

"Did you miss the bus today?" she asked as her eyes lands on the coat that Miss Rachael gives me

"Yeah" I answer Emma as we walk towards her car.

"Why don't you let me pick you up every day?"

"It's out of your way." I ask feeling uncomfortable accepting help from any one even if it's Emma. I just like to feel independent.

"I can make a sacrifice and consider it payment for your help okay?" she tries to reason. I know she won't stop bothering to accept her help so I give in.

"Okay." I say nodding

"Finally you agree." I smile slightly as she opens the door. We enter the car and she starts driving out of school to the urban part of town where houses are not in blocks or anything.

Okay Mr and Mrs Drayton are very rich people. Like you can almost called them Billionaires.

But they are sweet people and they take care of Emma like hell. They even asked me once If I wanted to come and live with them. They said that they can pay for everything thing that means I don't have to work in the filling office but if I had been taught one thing by living in the orphanage that is Independence.

It took me some time to get Emma sit and listen I tutored her and got ready to leave for my job. Walter Emma's driver dropped me off at my job. 

I thanked him and went inside. Evelyn was already waiting for me.

"You are late" she snaps at me.

I glance at my watch yeah 10 minutes late and for my lateness the world is about to end" I say with a lot of sarcasm. "It's the first time" I add when I see her fuming face.

"Whatever" she says and rolls her eyes. Evelyn and I are not best if friends you know. Like we can't actually stand each other. Being in the same room with her for more than five minutes is like being in a room with a gun being pointed to my head. Sometimes I imagine the holder of the gun threatening to shot out my brains.

She has very tall figure. I'm like a dwarf beside her. She is beautiful. Maybe she could pass for a model. But she isn't my type of person.

I go to the room full of files, you know in file the files according to date and purpose and I hate this job. But this can look good on my application.

At 9:30 I finish my work and with sleepy eyes I go to the bus stop and get on the bus. I entered the house and went up to my room. Okay I am damn hungry but I doubt if Keeley is around not to talk of preparing dinner so I change and lay on my bed drifting to sleep.

Okay there you have it's my typical day.
