Eve awoke early the next morning from a fitful sleep. She dressed, ate, and did her hair and make-up. It was habbit now that she did all this. Most days though, she wasn’t sure why she bothered at all.

She took longer then normal to get ready today, forcing her to have to run to catch the bus. She sat with Tia, but they didn’t talk. Once at school Eve went to her locker.

She stood there, dazed. For some reason she could not remember what she needed for her first hour. The warning bell rang and she still stood frozen. A sea of kids pushed past her, ignoring her, and she took no notice to them either.

The final bell snapped her out of her daze. Quickly she grabbed her book, and turned towards her class. She bumped right into some guy.

“I’m sorry.” She muttered without looking.

“It’s okay. Hey do I know you?” The guy asked her.
This stopped her and she looked up. She gave him a once over and slowly shook her head no.

“Well, then. I would like to.” He said sticking his hand out. “I’m Dante.”
