The Hideous Maid ✔ #wattys2019

TWELVE

||The struggle is part of the story||

I waited eagerly for the bell so that I can get out of here. I had had enough of this boring lectures. It's like I'm drifting into the sleep. I glanced at Eva who was busy doodling in her textbooks with different colors of pens.

God must have sensed the boring environment and hence the bell rang. I smiled broadly and was ready to run away when someone stopped me.

"Hey," Vincent said. I watched him and carter leaning against the desk with Eva.

"Hey," I replied awkwardly, I don't know why. I mean he never speaks with me and suddenly today, out of nowhere he greets me. Weird.

I studied them intently as they were having some kind of eye conversation. Eva was giving them a warning look while Carter and Vincent were giving her a pleading look.

"What's going on?" I asked slowly, sensing the awkward tension between those three.

"Nothing, they are just going, right?" Eva glared them.

"No" Carter glared back at Eva. "We were going to ask-

"Ask?" Eva shouted interrupting whatever he was going to say. Carter rolled his eyes and continues, "We were going to ask you and Eva if you could hang out with us" He smiled and smirked at Eva.

"I don't mean to be rude but why," I asked. I know something going on between those three.

"You know, we three usually hang out because of the whole tutoring thing. So we just don't want you to miss it" Vincent scratched his neck.

"But you don't have to get tutored" I pointed out looking at Vincent.

"Exactly, but you know, how Carter and I am whenever we are alone" Eva shrugged her shoulder. "We can't focus because we are-

"Horny?" I interrupted her causing her to glare at me while Vincent snickered.

"We can't focus because we are always fighting and getting into some heavy arguments" She gritted her teeth.

I nodded my head slowly. "Okay, then. Let's go" I chirped and followed them.

When Vincent and Carter went ahead, I dragged Eva in the corner. "What's going on?" I whispered.

"What?" She questioned innocently. "We were probably going to have a reunion, right?" She changed the topic, avoiding me.

"Either you tell me what is going on because VIncent and Carter are behaving very strangely or I will tell Carter that you have a crush on him" I smiled.

"You wouldn't do that" She held a murderous glare. "Try me" I sang because I succeed in blackmailing her.

"You won't be mad at me no matter what, okay?" She said in her calm tone and I just nodded my head. "You remember Ava's party?" She asked while I nodded. "Yeah, so you were crying in the garden while saying how you can't tell Vincent and Carter about you and there was a shuffling sound-

Then it hit me. Of course, there was shuffling sound it means someone was listening. "Vincent and Carter were there" I widened my eyes and muttered.

"Yes," Eva sighed. "They heard everything and was about to ask you but I stopped them because I know you will be disturbed and all. And that's why carter called you 'Dimple' earlier and Vincent, well, he was acting weird." She admitted.

I bit my lip thinking of the probability that Sophia will know and if she knows, her parents will eventually know. This might cause harm to Vincent and Carter or maybe Eleanor.

"Relax, nothing will happen" Eva grabbed my hand and gave me a reassuring nod. "We will figure this out. Plus it's time for them to know that you are Lisa. You can't hide from them forever. They will be disappointed if you keep hiding." She squeezed my hand.

"I think you are right," I speak softly after thinking it hard. "But what about the whole maid thing?" I asked her. "Because I know if I told them they will lose their minds and god knows what they will do" I admitted.

"Then, we shouldn't tell them about the whole maid part for now" Eva suggested. I sighed knowing that the whole complication level begins.

"By the way, do you have a crush on Vincent?" Eva asked causing me to blush. "No," I said hiding my face. "Does he have a crush on you?" She asked again. Only this time I blushed harder.

"There's something between you two, whenever you two are near there's this heavy tension around you like-

"Carter and yours?" I smirked.

"Shut up" she mumbled. "Let's go, they must be waiting." She said and followed them.
