Chapter No.20

Evelyn's POV:

Today, I literally sigh and groan both at once since today is the day I kind of regretted a bit more than intentional. Yes, today is back to school after the summer holidays... Of course, normal people spend it being lazy and just relaxing... I, on the other hand, spent it... Well, let's do a quick rewind!

After that day, I honestly don't know where my relationship lies with Archer... He completely disappeared. When asked granny she told me he has a lot of meetings. But on a positive note, my friendship Bella has improved a lot. Even Chris joined our group, including Seb, Hazel, and her twin Noah. Hazel and Noah are also Mr. and Mrs. Anderson's children.

And on a very big happy note, I mended my relationship with Uncle Bernard, Aunt Celia, and of course, Mommy. It's not been the easiest but I try my hardest not to shut them out. And the best outcome is that I've grown very close to the Theodore family. It scares me but at the same time fills me with happiness. And of course, Little Lotte is the princess for us all. Even more for my brother Ron. Call it a sister's hunch but I have a feeling that his feelings for Lotte are more than anyone is willing to see.

And that's about it. Currently, I'm confined to the vanity chair and Ly is braiding my hair as she wants. Before school starts we got a hair cut because my hair was growing too long. And I have a lot of work to do so it's a no-no. Bella and Hazel tagged along. I let my side bangs stay the same as they are growing now. But had my hair trimmed to 2 inches shorter. It was reaching my hip bones before now their back to their original length. Even this is more but the girls absolutely refuse otherwise.

"So what do you think?" Ly asks

I look into the mirror and smile, "Perfect Ly, when do you ever need my opinion?" I giggle.

She just rolls her eyes at my comment. My hair has been braided in a loose way to the side where my bangs are and has another side braid from the other side meet in the middle of the original braid. Making it look complex but simple at the same time.

But this is the last time I listen to her in the case of my shoe choice. Of course, they're super comfy but still, the heel irritates me. Since it was the first day Mommy made sure to make all my favorites which included chocolate chip pancakes with maple syrup and mango smoothie. It may seem unhealthy or something to folks but they can bite the dust. I kiss Mommy's cheek before leaving but she stops me, "Evie, dear..."

I halt my steps and look back at her, "I want to warn you, high school comes with its own set of problems. You're the most intelligent in the entire batch. There will be well people who want to take advantage of you. So if things get out of hand well you have permission to do whatever you want." She smirks at the end.

I giggle knowing what she means, "Sure thing Mommy! Bye, see you after school!"

Ly and Mark have already have left. They needed to check on something, so I'm driving on my own, but first I'm dropping my brother, "So Little guy ready for school?"

I asked putting on my seatbelt he just sighs sitting in the passenger seat and putting on his seatbelt, "You could say so."

I reverse the car out of the garage, and after 30 seconds we're out of the house, I look at him, then ask with eyes on the road again, "Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, it's just people, especially kids, tend to make really lame jokes that I don't have a Dad. It wasn't Dad's fault but who can make those kids realize. Only Charlie ever understood my situation..."

He calls Charlotte Charlie, since I started calling her Lotte, I nod, "Ron, why don't you tell your teachers?"

"Like they're any different, they try to console me but they're eyes say something entirely different. Lee you always told me that if I want to know the truth look into the person's eyes. The person can lie but not their eyes. Only Miss Hailey is different but..."

"But what?" I ask as we stop at the signal point.

"But she took maternity leave and or more 6 months leave. Since then, it hasn't been the same. They're really starting to get on my nerves, Lee." Ron says balling his little hand into a fist.

Taking one hand off the wheel I take his in mine and give a little squeeze, "Ron, always remember there will always be people who will try to undermine you no matter what. It's up to you how to deal with them. Sometimes, being silent rather than using words or even actions is far punishing than doing both."

"Lee... How can you always have answers to everything?" Ron asks.

"Because I was there for you when even Mommy couldn't be... So I understand you more than anyone else. I had noticed on the breakfast table you weren't happy coming back so I on purpose asked Mommy to let me drop you. It gave me time to talk to my little brother." I smile at him.

He nods and we reach his school, I get out of my seat and kiss his forehead handing him bag, "Evie! Cam!"

We hear a small voice and know who it belongs to, I look ahead to see Archer dropping his daughter, along with a surprised expression on his face looking at me, I ignore him and crouch down opening my arms for Lotte, she runs and jumps into my arms, "I missed you, Evie."

"I missed you too, Lotte. So what did your grandma make for breakfast?"

"Hmm... She made the recipe you gave her last you came over! It was really yummy! I don't know whose I like more?!" She pouts.

I kiss her cheek, smiling, "Well, you don't need to pick a favorite, sweetie pie. You can love them both."

She nods happily and I let her down and she hugs Ron. One thing I've noticed the people she likes she always hugs them. He returns the hug and the two talk animatedly when I interrupt, "Okay you two hyper kids. Time for school before the bell rings."

They both nod and head inside, from hindsight, I know he's still standing there but when he purposefully ignored me then why should I care? I get into my car and without as much as a glance left.

Reaching school I see the news reporters swarming the entire area. Oh Shit! I forgot Uncle Bernard has already had me introduced into the business world... Just frigging great! I get out of the car. Taking my bag I move forward and damn they spot me! I think I'll have to talk to uncle about some arrangements. The lights are quite literally blinding! I ignore all their questions and make my way forward.

I see they don't follow me inside, I see guards at the entrance, "This is why we left early. I asked Dad to arrange them. Don't worry they won't bother us from tomorrow onwards." Ly says coming to my side.

The entire student population is staring at us as we are the president's daughters. Seriously? People get a life. Mark, on the other hand, has already a fan club. But he looks the least interested. I admit he's handsome considering his sharp features, lean body but has muscles, no doubt in that. But not muscular like the jocks of this school. His forest green eyes with blonde hair make him really desirable.

I remember when I first met him. My first impression was that he's a playboy. But he proved damn wrong. And I couldn't be happier to be wrong. The moment he spots me and Ly his face brightens up, "Evie! You're finally here!"

He jogs up to us. Leaving the girls glaring at us. Hey, don't blame us for not being plastic, "I've got all our schedules. I and Ly are together in all classes. And you have us only in P.E. But the good news is that you have Bella and Hazy in all your classes."

At that moment he's hit by a book, we laugh knowing its Hazel, she hates the nickname but Mark won't call her anything but that. They have a Tom and Jerry sort of relationship, "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that!"

"Sorry, it's way too long. Anyways, guys, I'm out before I get murdered. I value my youth! I don't want to die too soon!" With that, the dummy grabs Ly's hand and drags her with him.
