Chapter 3

Evie was walking through the halls looking for her schedule. *It has to be on a notice board or something.* She thought.

After walking around for a while, she did find it but she also realized that since she missed orientation, she didn't know where she was going. *Damn. I hate being clueless.* She thought.

"Umm...excuse me." She said to the first guy who walked past her. "Can you please show me where class 4b is?" Evie asked the guy with an awkward expression.

"I'm headed there right now. That's my class you can just follow me." The boy said simply. " Also, you are new here, right? Never seen your face before and I know almost everyone in this school." The boy asked Evie.

"Yeah. My name is Evie, Evie Evergreen. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. The name's Chris Stunner." He answered.

"Cool name." Evie chuckled.

"Alright, this is our class. You can just sit anywhere you want. It doesn't matter." Chris said pointing to a random sit.

"In that case, can I sit next to you?" Evie asked meekly.

"Yeah, you can."

"Can you also show me around later?"

"Was already planning on doing that." He said and smiled. "Let me explain how this works. We have four classes in the morning before a short break then five more classes then lunch. After that, we have clubs, you'd have to choose a club later. It's not everyday we have clubs though. Just on Wednesdays and Fridays." He explained

"Ok. I get it, thanks"

The first four classes passed by like a breeze. Chris and Evie had talked and laughed and sometimes, secretly made fun of a teacher. They were focusing on the explanation a teacher was giving when the bell rang for their short break.

*RING*

"That's the for the short break right?" Evie asked with certainty.

"Yes it is." Chris answered with a smile. "Let's go get a snack from the cafeteria."

"Alright." She said as they stood up and walked out of the class.

"Oh yeah," Chris said remembering something."Before that, let me show you around."

"Right. Even I forgot about that." Evie laughed after her reply.

Chris started by showing her all staff rooms and laboratories then moved on to show her all the classes. He showed her the fields, locker rooms and every other significant and insignificant place in the school in little to no time. After fifteen minutes of walking around, they were on their way to their final destination, the cafeteria.

"Lord! That took all the energy I had!" Evie said with a loud voice after getting snacks and a drink and settling down at a table in the cafeteria.

"Tell me about it." Chris laughed and sat down opposite her. Evie stretched with her eyes closed and when she opened them there was one extra person at their table.

"Hi, I'm Caleb." the guy said before Evie could ask. "In Chris's bestfriend." He announced proudly.

"Nobody asked." Chris said with a smug look.

Evie just stared at them for a second and thought, *Well lucky me. I just happened to meet and make friends with the two most handsome guys in the school and probably the world too.* She wasn't kidding when she thought they were handsome. These were actually the most handsome and popular guys in the school who just happened to also be the smartest. *My luck.* Evie laughed in her mind.

"I'm Evie. Nice to meet you Chris's best friend." Evie finally spoke

"Oh, she talks." Caleb laughed. " Now explain. When and how you guys became such best friends that Chris actually forgot about me."

"Oh, that happened earlier. She's really fun to talk to might as well make her our third." Chris said then gave Caleb a look that he immediately understood.

"Alright. I trust your judgement. Welcome to the clique." Caleb said with open arms.

Evie had been smiling the entire time thinking she was actually really lucky to gain best friends within five hours of being in a school and these guys nonetheless. She really couldn't help but smile. " Thanks then."

*RING*

"That's for our next class. I'm sure you didn't know but Caleb is in our class too." Chris said as all three of them started heading for their class.

"Nope! I definitely did not notice that. If that's true then where were you earlier?" Evie asked

"At the back of the class, being quiet as usual." Caleb replied smugly.

" Of course, quiet as usual." Chris said sarcastically and they laughed.

When they arrived in class they sat side by side with Evie in the middle.

At another side of the class the trio were in, a group of girls were watching them and the one who looked to be the leader or proudest said, " Wow..." she rolled her eyes. " New girl made friends so easily with Chris and Caleb. It took me almost three months to even get their attention. How the hell did she do it?" she said with a very annoyed look on her face. She looked as if she was going to explode with the way Chris was giving Evie so much attention, even if there was no other intention behind it, She liked the guy and she was going to stop at nothing to get him.

"Looks like I'm going to have to have a little chat with that girl." She said.

Time went by very quickly for Evie. Before she knew it it was already lunch. Evie, Chris and Caleb were walking to the cafeteria again to get lunch.

"Finally! I'm starving." Evie said once they got their lunch.

" You really love eating, don't you?" Caleb asked with a laugh.

"Yup. You guys should watch out. I'm a total foodie." She laughed

"How do you manage a perfect figure then?" Caleb asked directly and Evie didn't really mind.

"Well if a girl's a foodie, she has to exersice pretty often don't you think?" Evie asked in reply.

"Makes sense." Chris commented.

After a while of chatting and eating, the three were done and walking towards their lockers to keep some things and take some things. By the Heavens blessing, their lockers were pretty close to each other. *Mother luck is in a really good mood today.* Evie thought, a smile on her face.

As they were walking towards the school bus while asking where Evie lived, a group of girls walked up to them. It was the same girls from earlier.

"Heyyy guys, girl I don't know." The one in front said.

"Oh, this is Evie." Chris stated pretty rudely.

"Alright, I'm Nevaeh, head of the cheerleaders." She said looking Evie up and down.

"No wonder you look so proud." Evie mumble and giggled to herself.

Up close, Evie looked even more beautiful than she did from afar. They were like the perfect friends, the most beautiful creatures in the school. This vexed Nevaeh even more.

"Well bye Chris. See you tomorrow. " She said and started to walk away but stopped right beside Evie and whispered. "Don't dare try to come in between Chris and I, or else..." then walked away.

Evie chuckled once she was sure she was out if earshot.

"Why are you laughing?" Caleb asked.

"Well, I'm sure you guys know that Nevaeh has a crush on Chris. She literally just threatened me to stay away from him." She couldn't stop giggling.

"Yeah. We know that." Caleb sighed in response

"I wish I didn't honestly. She's just so annoying. Yeah she's beautiful and all, She's just not my type. I swear I couldn't have made it clearer, but she just wouldn't go away. Tch, clingy." Chris said in annoyance. They were already on the bus at that point.

"Oh well. Got to admire a girl who doesn't stop at anything to get what she wants." Evie stated simply. " Anyway you said something about us living in the same estate."

"Yes I did" Caleb replied. " We actually do. You said you live in house 13 right?"

"Right."

" Well we live in house 24 in that same estate." He said.

" So we have the same bus stop. I swear I couldn't get luckier." Evie laughed "And also, we?"

"Oh yeah. Caleb and I live together."

"Oh, I see. I also see that we are already at our bus stop." She said then made for the back exit of the bus since they were closer to the back.

Chris and Caleb followed behind her. After walking and talking for a bit, they reached Evie's house. She stepped onto her Porsche and looked back to bid her new friends farewell.

"Bye guys. See you tomorrow." She said waving at them and they waved back.

"Bye."

"Bye."
