Chapter 9 - The Thing’s I Forgot

Eve yelped as she hit something and toppled over throwing the books in her hand overhead, she shut her eyes tightly, waiting for her body to meet the cold hard floor. she suddenly felt a strong arm around her waist, stopping her from falling down. She slowly opened her eyes to see her crush smiling down at her, she stared back at him lost in his eyes, "are you okay miss", he asked with her still in his arms staring at him shyly. Yes I'm fine, sad Eve as she regained her balance and picked up her books, he picked up a book and smiled at her, he asked with an interested voice. Do you like "The love of my afterlife", Eve's heart was beating rapidly as her crush finally talked to her, yes I love it, I'm thinking of reading it again.

Well if you love it that much, would you mind going to see the movie with me on Saturday, he said as he scratched the back of his head. Eve squealed with joy in her head, but kept her calm and replied. Sure, can I bring a couple tho, it's a double date then, he replied and winked making Eve blush. He stretched his hand forward contented with the blush he received, by the way I'm… Marcus, Eve replied and giggled awkwardly, you're here alot that's why I know your name. You're also here alot but I don't know your's, he replied with a smirk. I'm Eve, she said changing the topic, shaking his hand and then running off.

.... .....

Eden you wouldn't believe what happened, Eve squealed as she ran over to Edens desk excitedly. What's got you so happy, Eden asked smiling. You know that boy I like at Foyles bookstore right, of course, you talk about him nonstop, well guess what, Eden tapped her finger on her chin, hmm, she turned and pointed at her smiling, he looked at you. Eve lets out a cute giggle, even better Eden, he asked me out, Eden gasped, omg really, finally. The both of them stood up holding themselves, and jumping up squealing.

What's the gist, Louise asked as he came in, oh good you're here Louise, I need my girl so I won't stutter or disgrace myself, so I told him we're double dating, Eden furrowed her brows and proceeded to ask, with who. With you and Louise of course, Eve replied happily, Louise smiled at Eden who just ignored him, she hadn't talked to him since that passionate kiss, she couldn't risk getting back together with him, but now Eve had gone and set up a date without asking.

Esmerelda looked at them suspiciously, I just can't shake the feeling, what feeling, her friend Mia questioned. That Louise, he's very suspicious, any guy that has gotten remotely close to Eden either disappears, gets hurt, or dies, Mia folded her arms and let out a sigh. You're right, I saw him going towards Jordan's house, but I didn't really think anything of it until you mentioned. Don't worry Mia, we'll get to the bottom of this.

Shh the movies starting, said Eve excitedly, everyone was focused on the movie, Eden reached out to grab some popcorn, mistakenly grabbing Louise's hand, heat rushed through her body instantly making her blush, no matter how hard she tried she couldn't get that kiss out of her head. She turned to see Marcus and Eve kissing, "well she didn't need my help", she thought to herself and scoffed. She turned to see Louise smiling at her, which made her heart skip a beat, do you wanna do what they're doing, he said teasingly, Eden nudged him with her elbow. Ow that hurt, he said and giggling pleased with how cute she was acting, do you want to kiss me, he asked with a serious tone this time.

What, no we're in public, he pointed at Eve and Marcus, but they kissed so why can't we, he said pursing his lips and closing his eyes, Eden didn't reply. Lucas proceeded to raise the cup holder keeping them from each other and held the pop corn in his hand, Eden noticed what he did as she was playing with her hand. He suddenly reached out for her hand, and grabbed her interlocking their fingers, Eden felt heat rush through her body and the tingle in her stomach. Who knew just holding hands with him could be this intense.

Lucas turned to her and winked, shocked as she also winked back and looked away shyly.

No Louise don't kill me, Eden whispered to herself, you don't have to do this, please no. She jumped up front her desk, with hot sweat trickling down her face, out of breath.

Here you go, Esmerelda said with a friendly smile while handing her a handkerchief, Eden thanked her as she took it and wiped her face and neck. That was some dream you had there, she said in a more serious tone, why would you be begging Louise not to kill you, she giggled, did you cheat or something. Eden looked perplexed as this classmate of hers she doesn't even talk to was asking such questions. Who are you, and what are you talking about, Eden asked irritated with a hint of disgust on her face, my name is Esmerelda, the brown haired beauty said and smiled. You might not know me, but I know you and your boyfriend all too well, "mmhhmm",she stopped and cleared her throat.

Do you remember Samuel, Eden squinted in a bid to remember before answering, no I don't. Oh my bad, I forgot you lost your memory after that fall, Samuel is my brother, he was our senior when we were sophomores. He took a liking to you, you guys got close, and then all of a sudden he fell down the stairs and broke his neck in a freak accident, she said with air quotes, an arm, and a leg, everyone said it was an accident so it was just that.

Then there was Arlel in middle school, who was also really close to you. One day suddenly disappeared out of the blue, some say he switched schools, some say he died, some say he dropped out to be a drug dealer, we are yet to know the truth about that, Esmerelda giggled. Now the newest victim, Jordan, Eden knew where this was going at the mention of Jordan's name. He went out on a date with you the night he was brutally murdered and cut into pieces.

Now could you please tell me what all these victims stories have in common, oh no, she's unto us, but could Louise really have hurt the other two, she thought to herself panicking. I see your lost in thought, Esmerelda took a deep breath and sighed, you're what they have in common Eden, she said calmly. I know Louise did all that, and I promise you I will expose him in front of everyone, I won't rest until he pays for his terrible deeds.

Esmerelda points at Eden, closing the space within them,her eyes hardened, and if you're in favor of what he's doing. assured you'll go down with him. Eden looked a little shaken up as she stared at Esmerelda's luscious brown hair bouncing as she stormed off.i
