LOVE MADE 19
Mira Lennox
Hmm..
*barely eyes opening*
Mira Lennox
Eva...are you still doing your assignment?
Eva Derrin
Yes, it will be done after few corrections
Talia River
Just sleep, baby. You can do it early in the morning
Eva Derrin
You two sleep, I will after I finish this
Talia River
Okay suit yourself
*goes back to sleep*
Mira Lennox
Don't stay up too late
Eva Derrin
It's finally done
*smiles*
The professor walks in, calm as always
Professor Kade
Your project files will be graded today. Submit them now.
Eva’s hand was already on her pendrive
She was ready. She’d worked for days, perfected every slide, every citation
Talia River
what's happening?
*whisper*
Eva Derrin
*She clicked again*
She could feel her heart drop like lead. Her fingers trembled. She refreshed. Once. Twice. A third time.
Professor Kade
Miss Eva?
*The professor’s voice cut sharp*
Professor Kade
You’re wasting everyone’s time
Eva Derrin
I—I had it. I don’t know what happened
Eva Derrin
It was there in the morning I--
Professor Kade
Then maybe next time, try not ‘losing’ your assignment a day before it’s due.
Laughter echoed faintly from the back.
Eva’s face burned.
Her eyes stung.
Mira Lennox
How dare they those bastards laugh
*standing up*
Talia River
Sit down, don't cause trouble for Eva
*pulls Mira back*
Eva Derrin
*Just stared at the screen with her hands in her lap and shame coiling around her neck like a rope*
Talia River
Let's go eat lunch Eva
Eva Derrin
I am not hungry
Mira Lennox
It's okay Eva, we will do something
Mira Lennox
Me and Talia will try to have a talk with Mr. Kade
Talia River
yes Eva, we will surely do something
Eva Derrin
It's okay
*faint smile*
Talia and Mira tried everything—jokes, snacks, comfort.
