ROMEO

20

E.V.A.

"Did you call him?"

"Yeah, he's on his way. He's angry though."

"At her?!"

"No, Calvin. He said he wants to kill him."

I peel my eyes open, a menacing ache pounds in my head. "Guys?"

No answer.

"She hit her head pretty hard on the table. You sure we shouldn't take her to the nurse?" A voice, I recognize as Zach's, says.

"I don't want her to freak out," Alex says, a loud sigh following.

I pull myself up, pulling up my phone.

Fuck.

My head aches as I remember the events that led me here.

Natalia and Calvin.

I slide from the bed, slipping my shoes on. I take a quick peek out of the door before I run to the front of the room.

"Eva!" Malcolm calls.

I ignore him, rushing out of the door into the hallway. Some students stare but most ignore me as I run down the hall, opposite of Romeo's room.

I speed around a corner, knocking into Amber. "Sorry."

"Are you OK?" She asks, looking behind her.

"I'm fine. I just want to find Natalia."

"Amber, what are you doing with her?!" Hannah yells, walking up beside Amber with her arms folded across her chest. "She's crazy."

Amber shakes her head with a sigh. "She's not crazy, she ju-"

"Um, excuse me?" Hannah asks, glaring up at her. "We're supposed to be friends. You're supposed to have my back!"

"Hannah, for fucks sake," Amber sighs, rolling her eyes.

"I see how it is. I guess fake bitches roll together," Hannah spits, walking off.

Amber rubs her face, walking after Hannah. "Hannah wait!"

"Hey, Eva!" Natalia greets, walking up to me, Calvin in tow.

"You are a bitch!" I spit.

"Woah there Nat, you might want to back up. She might beat your ass too," Calvin says, trembling.

"This isn't funny! Take it down!" I yell.

"No," She deadpans.

"Are you fucking serious?! What is your problem?!"

"I told you that Blair and Romeo were endgame. It's not my fault you decided to date him."

"What do you get out of their relationship?!" I ask, wondering what the fuck she was on.

"I get my brother and my best friend happy," She says, looking me up and down. "Do you even know what happiness is?"

"Do you?" I come back. "You are so wrapped up in your brothers relationship, I'm surprised you have time for your own."

"You don't know anything about my relationship. You couldn't even keep yours and if you think this thing with my brother will last, you're mistaken."

"Aww," Calvin coos, "She thought we would take it down."

"Oh, fuck you Calvin."

His amused demeanor falls, replaced my a menacing glare. "You are the worst person I know."
