Chapter 22- Seriously, your reviews make me LOL so much. I love you.
The girls drove around for about an hour discussing ways to get out of the situation. They thought of changing their names and even murdering each other until they realised how stupid they sounded. Liza dropped Eva at her house and promised they would never mention a word of it to anyone when they set foot in school on Monday. Eva knew she was going to get a knock at the door late tonight and she wanted to open it up and stab him right in the chest.
Eva sat down watching TV filled with fury about the events realising what a lying jerk he was and just how stupid she was for getting involved with him. Sure enough the knock came at quarter to 12. It was funny how he always came late, almost like a booty call. Eva just turned the TV off but did not answer the door. The knock came again. She snuck over to the door and peeked through the keyhole and saw it was him. She leant on the door and continued to hear him knocking.
“Eva,” he shouted. “I know you’re in there.”
Eva silently pulled a face and stuck her finger up at the wood separarting them.
“Eva,” he said louder. “Let me in or I’ll smash a window.” He said that last statement as if even he didn’t believe he would do it.
Eva wondered whether Sam would be awake listening to the commotion and telling himself he was right about everything.
“Eva!” screamed Gerard again.
Eva opened the door rapidly.
“Shut the fuck up!” she whispered violently. “The whole street can hear you, you fucking loony bin!”
“I have never seen you swear so much,” he said shocked to see her standing there so suddenly.
“You haven’t ever seen me do this either,” said Eva pushing him so he fell backwards while she closed the door in his face.
“Eva!” said Gerard banging on the door again. “Don’t make me do this, I am desperate right now. This is not in my persona!” He had gotten quieter and she felt him fall to the ground and lean on the door.
“Eva, I know you’re mad. I know it,” he said desperately. Eva could hear him and she pressed her ear closer to the door so she could hear clearer. “Hell, I’m mad at you for spying on me in that crazy disguise with your fruit loop friend.”
Eva rolled her eyes at how he was passing the blame. She opened the door and watched him fall back on the floor.
“You disgust me!” she said looking down on Gerard.
He quickly got up and closed the screen door behind him and then the door. Eva stood with her arms folded.
“Eva, let me explain,” he said anxiously.
“Gerard, I’m going to be honest, I really don’t care but I will let you have your say and then I want you out. Got it?” asked Eva patiently. Gerard nodded and took a seat. Eva took one across the room from him and stared at his face in disgust.
“Eva,” he began looking down at the ground feeling awkward. “Don’t interrupt.”
“Get on with it, I don’t have all day,” said Eva sarcastically pointing to the clock noticing it was now 2 past 12 in the morning.
“Look, I don’t know what to say,” he said.
“Ok, get out then,” said Eva.
“Why are you so mad?” he said angrily.
“You know, you’re right I shouldn’t be mad. It’s my fault,” said Eva. “Get out.”
“Eva, Please!” he said again. Eva felt as if this conversation was going to go on for ages and she desperately wanted him out of the house. She couldn’t stand to look at his face.
“Please what, Mr. Way?” said Eva demanding to be heard. “Are you fucking serious? If you don’t get out of my house I will tell the school about you and your sex life with Michaela and then I will personally release a statement to the media. Now get out of my sight while I’m being tolerant.”
Gerard’s face looked vicious.
“I know you wouldn’t do that, you’re not that type of person,” he said.
“Watch me Mr. Way,” said Eva. “I wasn’t stupid either but I got involved with you, didn’t I? It seems I’m doing a lot of things out of character these days and that threat isn’t any different.”
“Eva, I don’t want to leave because I want to talk to you,” began Gerard. “So I don’t care if you ‘dob’ on me, at least I would have said what I had to say.”
“I gave you that chance and you said you didn’t have anything to say,” said Eva.
“Well now I do,” he said.
“Ok say it,” said Eva.
“I slept with Michaela again. I met her at the school and we did it in the staffroom,” he said.
“Well, duh,” said Eva fighting the tears coming out. She wanted to pinch herself so she could hold back the tears and keep any shred of her dignity.
“I am sorry,” he said sadly. “But I can explain.”
“Ok Gerard,” said Eva strongly. “Explain to me why you can sleep with her but you won’t even let me touch your dick!”
“Because I actually like you,” he said angrily getting out of his chair and grabbing his hair in his hands.
“Makes sense,” said Eva. “I now know so much about the male train of thought. You can go now.”
Eva got up and pointed towards the door.
“Eva sit down,” he said angrily.
“I am not in school, Mr Way,” she said.
“Fine! Stand,” he said. ‘Just let me finish.”
Eva looked at him sarcastically.
“Eva, I need a distraction,” he said. “I think it’s best we stop seeing each other.”
“I didn’t want any more to do with you anyway,” said Eva.
“I understand,” said Gerard sadly.
‘Don’t sound so sad Gerard,” said Eva sarcastically happy. “This is what you wanted right? You get to fuck a total babe, be a rock star, fuck student around and walk out the good guy! Go Gerard!”
“Don’t be so cynical,” he said annoyed.
“I’m sorry,” said Eva mockingly. “I thought I was being optimistic about everything.”
“You’re so immature,” he said quietly.
“Oh well,” said Eva. “If mature means fucking a 17 year old girl when then I’d rather stay immature.”
“I’m only fucking her to get over you!” said Gerard shouting.
“Over me?” said Eva sarcastically. “What a pathetic excuse. Everything was fine until you walked out of my house the other night leaving me wearing my underwear in an empty bed when I expected you to be there the next morning. Everything was fine between us! What was there to get over you fucking moron?”
“You make me crazy,” he shouted. He walked up to Eva and started shaking her. “I feel like I’ve met you somewhere before, and I want you so badly. So badly it’s not even laughable anymore. I walk down the street and I can’t even look at pretty women anymore because I compare them to you and scrutinise every possible thing wrong about them. I try and draw and all I end up drawing is something that reminds me of you. I need to write my album lyrics and all I write about is how I feel about you and it’s never perfect because I can’t write about how I feel about you. I am meant to be here getting over shit in my life, but then you are just another problem I need to fix.”
Eva didn’t know what to say. She was silent and Gerard’s voice was so loud it had filled the room.
Silence.
“I told you this in our argument yesterday,” said Gerard finally. “I woke up last night and your head was on my chest and I had to get out of there before I fell in love with you.”
The strange thing about the whole situation was that he was telling the truth but Eva wouldn’t hear a bar of it.
“Gerard,” said Eva quietly, tears pouring out of her eyes. “Get out. How dare you play with my emotions this way. Get out.”
“I’m not!” said Gerard desperately.
“OUT!” screamed Eva pointing to the door.
Gerard walked to the door, opened it, and walked out. Eva could hear a voice in her head that sounded like Sam’s saying “It’s for the best.”
________________________________________________________________________________________________
By the time Monday had come Eva had cried through enough to be ready for Mr. Way’s legal lesson. Liza and Eva talked all through the morning on the bus about their encounter and then swore it was the last time they would talk about it.
When Eva walked into school she noticed Michaela smiling and laughing to her ‘friends’ and Eva could tell she had enjoyed the weekend.
Roll call was interesting with Nick being extra nice to Eva but always throwing in a few nasty comments to keep his friends happy. The odd thing was that Nick had a private study the next period with Eva and asked for her to take him there as he had “never been before”. Eva felt a bit suspicious but she couldn't care to be cautious.
After roll call when Eva led Nick to the library where all private studies were held Nick stopped her.
“Want to skip it?” he asked. Eva was about to say no when she realised that she wasn’t even going to study when she went there, and so she said yes.
Nick led Eva to a clearing behind one of the school blocks. It made Eva a bit uncomfortable because the block belonged to the social science department and also contained Mr. Way’s room.
“Here,” said Nick taking a seat in a small dead end alley made of bricks. The area was secluded and not many people walked passed.
“Do you come here a lot?” said Eva looking around the secluded area.
“Actually, a lot,” said Nick. “Sometimes I just need to be alone so I tell my friends I’m going to meet a chick at the mall during lunch.”
Eva nodded. The conversation between them was fairly nice and something Eva would have loved to have happened a couple of months ago, but ever since Gerard had come to the school Eva didn’t care about Nick as much.
“I am sorry I am mean to you,” said Nick.
“Oh,” said Eva shocked. “It’s Ok.”
“No,” said Nick. “It’s not OK, but still, I think you are pretty cool for a weird chick.”
“Well, thanks Nick,” laughed Eva.
The most bizarre thing was to happen next. Nick moved closer to Eva and began to lean forward. His hand brushed her hand and Eva’s face stared like a dead fish. His lips touched Eva’s briefly and Eva was about to overlap her lips with his when a loud yelp came from in front of them.
“Excuse me!” said Mr. Way. Eva turned sharply and Nick looked petrified even though Eva was sure he had been caught in this situation many times.
“Come with me both of you,” he said angrily. Eva gulped. She had never felt this scared in her life. If Mr. Way called her parents she would be dead. Her parents were extremely strict and this would just make them angrier.
Eva and Nick picked up their things and followed Mr. Way who was storming ahead of them. He lead them to an empty staffroom and told them both to sit down while he turned his chair to face them.
“What are you getting angry for Sir? We are in our last year. People kiss all the time. We didn’t even kiss properly because you interrupted us!” said Nick shocked.
“Be quiet!” said Mr. Way. Eva had never seen him so angry, even the other night. “You are meant to be in private study! You do not skip a class so you can pursue a sexual liaison!”
“I beg your pardon!?” said Eva.
“Be quiet, Eva!” said Mr. Way sharply. “I am your teacher and you shall listen to me.”
“You are a joke!” said Nick angrily at Mr. Way. “Don’t talk to her that way! It’s not right to be caught with your pants down next to a student either- it could start rumours, but we keep your dirty secret!”
Eva tried not to smile at Nick's comment.
“Detention Nick,” said Mr. Way taking the slight smirk of Eva's face. “How dare you accuse me of sleeping with a student!”
“He didn’t you idiot!” said Eva angrily. "He merely stated that you were caught with your zipper undone and to be careful in case anyone thought it meant naything else like you're doing to us now you moron."
Nick turned to stare at Eva shocked at her comment. He had never heard Eva go off at a teacher before.
“That’s it,” said Mr. Way his nostrils flaring. “I am calling your mother.” He reached to pick up the phone. Eva paniced until she figured out what she had to say to get him to put the phone down.
“I have a neighbour...” said Eva quietly. “He watches everything that goes on in my house.”
Gerard stopped in his tracks and Nick looked perplexed.
“I will not call your parents,” said Gerard viciously to Eva. “I will however be putting you under an unofficial detention. If I ever catch you again I will make sure your parents are called and the school finds out about it.”
“As you wish,’ said Eva nastily her eyes burning into Mr. Way's soul.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Legal studies was possibly the most awkward situation. Gerard ignored Eva and Nick for most part and only acknowledged them when he wanted to tell them off.
When leaving he stopped them both and told them their detention was to be held after school. Nick would be helping clean the boys bathrooms and Eva would be taking gum off the bottom of the desks in his room.
Eva made sure to stick her finger up at him before leaving earning her an extra half an hour.
When the end of the day came Eva and Nick marched off to Mr. Way’s room and waited for his instructions.
“Nick,” he said. “You will follow the cleaner and he will instruct you on what to do. When he says you are done, you can go home.”
“I’ll wait for you and take you home,” said Nick to Eva before he left.
“No,” said Mr. Way. “You will not take her home as she is not permitted by her parents to get in your car.” After much debate Nick walked away with the cleaners feeling defeated.
“You,” said Mr. Way to Eva handing her a palette knife “shall start under the desks.”
The girls drove around for about an hour discussing ways to get out of the situation. They thought of changing their names and even murdering each other until they realised how stupid they sounded. Liza dropped Eva at her house and promised they would never mention a word of it to anyone when they set foot in school on Monday.
