Chapter 2

***3 Months Later, In America***

The Evergreens had moved and settled down surprisingly fast. Gorge and Myra, which were the names of Evie's parents, had found jobs with great pay, probably because they were doctors. They had also found schools for all their kids. This was moving so quickly that Evie didn't like it. Luckily she adapted quickly, still she missed her old life a lot. Before she knew it, it was time to resume school. She wasn't at all excited.

*RING*

Evie woke in the morning to the sound of her 6am alarm.

"Today's the day." She said as she unhurriedly got up from her bed and headed to her bathroom.

" I'm sooo............ Not excited." She grumbled to herself. She took her sweet time in getting ready. Before she knew it she was done dressing up and even applying light make-up.

" Good morning darling." Her mum said stepping into her room.

" Good morning mum. I didn't hear you enter." She said looking at her mum through the mirrow on her dressing table.

" Well, I came to check on you. To see if you actually got up, because I know how much you don't want to go to school." She said, after a long pause spoke again. " Breakfast is ready."

" Kay mum. I'll be down in a minute." She answered and Myra stepped out of the room.

A few minutes later, Evie was walking down the stairs and towards the dinning room when she saw the feast her mum prepared for no reason.

She gave the food a long stare and said, "As much as I don't want to ask, what exactly is going on.....do we have a guest I don't know about?"

" Well, I just felt like cooking this morning and this happened." Myra said with a suspicious look on her face that Evie saw but ignored.

"Fine I'll just dig in then." As she took a spoon, her immediate younger sister, Susie, came downstairs as well.

She too only stared at the food and said," I'm not even going to ask. Good morning." then dug in.

Few seconds after that, Susie's immediate younger siblings, the twins - Joy and James, came along saying joyously, "Good morni- woah" their greetings cut short by the amount of food they saw.

" Just eat and don't bother talking." Evie said. After she ate in silence for a while she thought, * Well, I best not be late on my first day lest I give the wrong impression.* So she stood to clean up after herself and called out to her mum.

" Mum I'm ready."

" Okay sweetheart. Susie, I want you three to be ready by 7.30am sharp. Your bus would be at the bus stop down the street and you must not miss it. Am I clear?" Myra said to Susie, Joy and James.

" Crystal." Susie answered.

" Yes mummy." The twins said simultaneously.

" Okay then, Evie let's go." She said turning to the door.

In their way to Evie's new school, Evie was deep in thought. She seemed somewhat anxious about going to school.

* I wonder what I'm going to meet. I'd probably stand out too much.* She thought and sighed. What she didn't know was that she had been sighing once every thirty seconds.

" Evie. Don't overthink, okay?" In all honesty, Myra was surprised Evie even took the initiative to wake up that morning. She had known how much Evie hadn't even wanted to resume yet.

" I'm just~" she sighed, "I'm just....afraid, anxious, I don't even know what I feel right now. Indifferent maybe, definitely not excited. I don't know."

Myra could only glance at her daughter, after all she was driving. " Don't worry honey." was all she said. " We're here." She said after a while.

" Oh." Evie replied then started looking around for the name of the school. She never bothered asking for it because she really didn't want to know. She looked up towards the roof and there it was. Grandcrest High.

* What a name. Pretty big school too* She thought. " Is it a private school?"

" No, it's not." Myra answered passively.

Evie sighed at her mum's reply and after a long pause she stepped out of the car. " Ok then. Bye mum." She said and with one more self-encouragement, she walked into the school.
