Lil Dumpling

It's Not All Butterflies And Rainbows.

The receptionist handed the young girl her brand new shiny ID and timetable with a bony, wrinkled hand. She looked her up and down, through the thick rimmed glasses placed upon her long and sharp nose - why was she so... Happy? Seeing someone smiling here was foreign to her, she didn't even know how to return the gesture. Little did she know, Eva's smile was just a mask to hide the pain buried deep beneath her skin.

What was a girl like her doing in a place like this? She was quite the opposite to... Well the whole of the southside.

"Are you Eva?" she questioned
