No I didn't abandon "The Unpredictable".

I just had a rough week.I had exams.ONLINE EXAMS!!

I am okay with exams but let me tell you the process of taking online exams is too confusing and frustrating.

But i have a holiday for a week.Yes just a week. I'll be updating twice this week even thrice if possible.

Thank you for reading my rant.Now you can proceed with the story.

"Dad,Mom! Save me.I don't want to die.Please.The devil won't spare me.Goodbye World!!"El yelled as I dragged him out of the house.

"Shut up El.I will drive to school today.End of discussion."I said rolling my eyes.

"Bye son.We'll Miss You."Dad remarked sipping his coffee as mom sat beside him. .

"Fine. I'll drive carefully and slowly."I huffed.

"Last time you drove to the store 'slowly'.It took you an hour for a fifteen minute drive and i fell asleep."El scoffed and added."Why don't you just drive with Lou and Vani like everyday?"

"Vani's boyfriend Marcel is back in town so she is driving with him and Lou said he'll show up late."I replied.

"Vani's boyfriend's name was Chad right?"El asked raising a brow as he snatched the keys from me.

"Nope that was before Oliver.She says she is gonna keep dating until she finds 'the one' "I sighed.

"There are your friends.I'll see you later" El announces as he parks in he school and strides off.I walk over to where my friends are standing.Sus lets out a low growl as Luke pretends to zip his mouth.

I clasp my hand over my mouth in an attempt to stop my laughter remembering the time Sus chased Luke and me all over the school after we ruined her prank she set up for Trisha. We hurried off to our classes as Vani jogged off to us.

EARTHLINGS

12:08 PM

I check my phone when Lou texts in the group chat.

Lou-"Mission Abort! I repeat Mission Abort!!"

Gab-"Cut the crap and tell us what is going on there."

Jayden-"Yes.Is 'you know who' there yet?"

She isn't voldemort.You can just write Trisha.🙄-Veah

Sus-Where is she anyway?

Jayden-We don't name the Devil herself Veah!

Syd-She is just in front of us.

Us?-Veah

Davien-What are y'all upto?

Van(Weird ideas)-Who added this retard? Anyways where are you Syd?

Lou-Us is me and Syd.But i don't think Van might want to see who Trisha is with.

Gab-Who?

Van(Weird Ideas)-Idgaf i'll knock her out.

Davien-Woah easy there.

Vani you are gonna talk her out not kick her to death.-Veah

Sus-WTF! Trisha and Marcel are totally flirting.

Syd-Cafeteria..We are in here.

Shit.Everyone get there before Vani chops their head off.-Veah

Davien-That'd be fun to watch.

I shut my phone and run towards the cafeteria.I enter and see Luke sitting at our usual table inhaling a burger."What?"He speaks with his mouth stuffed as he stares at us olivious .Vani arrives,her eyes filled with anger and hate as she searches for them.I act quickly and step in front of her.

"Act wisely.You want to participate in the match right? Talk her down as planned." I say and she seems to relax hearing the match part.I follow her gaze and gasp as i take in the scene.Marcel has his hands around Trisha's waist and her arms around his neck.As Vani nears them Marcel pushes Trisha away abruptly."V-Vani?"

"Don't act like i didn't see it Marcel.I am not dealing with your crap right now so you better leave." Vani snaps and Marcel fleds off.

"Shrav i didn't mean to.."Trisha trails off and Vani cringes at the name.I see as Lou and Luke shoot a worried glance at Vani and look towards me probably thinking the same thing as me.

Back in middle school,Trisha and Vani were inseparable."Trish and Shrav"~Best Friends.Both of them having a strong dislike towards me.As we entered high school we met Gaby and Sus.Trisha started picking and bullying others and Vani called her out.There was a big fight and they are never on the same page from then on.

"Shut up Trisha.What'd you do with my boxing gloves?"Vani asked shooting daggers at her.All the color drains from Trishas face but she composes herself quickly."Boxing gloves?What are you talking about?"Trisha says cooly picking at her manicured nails.

"You know exactly what i am talking about."Vani spits.Suddenly Trisha smiles ear to ear like a maniac and looks at all of us stopping her gaze at me briefly.All of us take a step backwards as i feel Davien move beside me.

Trisha looks as if she will stab us with a knife any second.Then she looks back at Vani and almost whispers,"Let's assume i did that.But will your coach believe you?"I look over to Syd and she signals me a thumbs-up.

Vani plays the video that El showed us and shoves her phone in Trisha's face."Well mind explaining this bitch?" Trisha starts stuttering "T-that isn't me!"She exclaims.

"Really?"Vani smirks."I-i will get you back on this"Trisha yells and walks off.

"Oh yeah! Did you record it all Syd?"Gaby asks and starts dancing.We all laugh as Syd,Luke,Jayden and Lou join Gaby and they all sway their hips and dance weirdly.

From the corner of my eyes i see a small smile playing on Davien's lips.

____________________________________________________________________________

I walk to Basketball practice after class but to my surprise no one is there,the court empty. I start walking back as i feel a tug at my arm.I turn back to spot Trevor looking at me."I see you have a short term memory."He smiles at me as he lets go my arm.I give him a confused look and he huffs pulling me down to sit with him at the side of the court.

"Coach told us yesterday that there will be no practice today and yet you are here."He lets out a small laugh."You are also here."I point out."I came after you when i saw you walking over here."He explains and i nod.

I sit there picking at the grass beneath me when he asks "When did you start playing basketball?"

"When i was six."I replied smiling faintly at the memory of me grinning at my Dad after dribbling the ball."What about you?"I ask him.

"I was eight when i started"He replied "However the first sport i tried playing was soccer.I fell at my first attempt."I laughed and he grinned through his perfect white teeth.

"Eve!"I suddenly hear a familiar voice as Davien jogs towards us."This is very important,we need to go.Fast!"Davien says and holds his hand out picking me up and running towards the parking lot.

"Okay? Um bye Trevor."I say."Bye Veah."Trevor yells from behind me as Davien pulls me away.He takes me towards the far end of the parking lot and drops my hand shoving his hands into his pockets.

"What?"I ask him confused.He shrugs."Sit in the car.I am driving you home."He says as he opens the door to the passenger seat and asks me to get in.

"And why would you do that?" I ask.

"I'll explain you on the way. Now get in"

What if this is just his conspiracy to murder me?

"What other crazy ideas wander in your head?"

And I said that out loud. Way to embarrass yourself Neveah. My subconscious mocks me.

"Elij had to stay over at school to complete a project and Louie drove off with Syd and Vani. He asked me to drop you. You still think I will murder you?" He smirks at me.

I sigh and get inside the car.I turned to him as he pulled out of school "You said it's something important. What is it?"

"Oh nothing it was just I wanted to spend some time with you."He said winking at me.

I rolled my eyes at him.As he drives in silence i hear him hum a song. I lean closer to listen him.He sings "I like me better." softly. His voice was beautiful,magical sort of. The kind of voice you want to listen over and over.

The rest of the drive involved him making witty remarks and me rolling my eyes at him which I tend to do a lot nowadays.

____________________________________________________________________________

"Veah. Let's call someone today."El says to me as he lays upside down on the couch.

"Okay. Have you searched up anything?"I ask scribbling the last bit of my homework.He shakes his head.

"Random Number!" El yells and runs off towards the phone as I run after him trying to reach the phone first. But he grabs it first and dials a random number.

After four attempts,the number he dials turn out to be correct and it rings.I signal him to put in on speaker.

"What if it is that creepy guy who followed you home last month?"El laughs.

"Shut up El."I yell just as someone says hello from the other side of the phone.A deep voice of a man.

"Hello." El speaks into the phone forming a serious tone.

"Hello El."The man speaks calmly and I and El look at each other,shock evident on our faces.
