Eve sat in her fourth hour, doodling. Mrs. Rim was blabing on about Shakespear’s marrage. Eve was fairly good at Engish, so she was only half listening. When Eve did look down and focus on her paper she saw four little hearts. Three plain and one with the letters: EL + DB inside. She also had written:

Evelyn Marie Brokes ♥

Eve’s cheecks flushed as she realized she had just written Dante’s last name instead of her own. She hurriedly smudged out the name and the hearts.

She looked around to find Gabby looking at her. Memories of what Dante did to her suddenly stormed her brain. Her heart felt heavy at the thought of him cheating again. Tears brimed in her eyes and threatened to spill over as the realization of just how much she loved him despite what he did hit her.

By now everyone was watching her and the teacher offered to let her go to the bathroom. She nodded and left the classrom quickly.

Half way to the bathroom she saw Dante.. with a girl she’d never seen before.
