2- Is karma a real thing?

Evy took a deep breath and entered the gate of the school. Yes! She was nervous. But unlike usual, it had nothing to do with fear. She can't think of a correct word to describe her feelings. One in all, she can say that she was excited. Evy was curious to see the reactions of all those people who had made her life miserable in this school. And most importantly, she was anxious to see her best friend. The one who was a rock for her. She was always there when she needed a shoulder to cry on. The one to whom she could say anything and everything. The one who didn't care about her reputation. The one and only, Evy's true best friend Hailey.

Evy has not been talking much with her in past one year. They did chat once in a while, but nothing major. Her best friend has no clue that she has enrolled her name in this school once again.

As she was entering the gate Evy got curious glances from the students here. The boys were shamelessly checking her out and the girls were glaring at her. Ha! First, they used to because she was a nerd and laughing stock of Woodstock High but now because the jocks were checking her out.

Losers!

Evy didn't even spare them a single look and confidently entered the school. As she entered, everyone passing in the corridor stopped. They all wanted to have a good look at the new girl. But only if they know who she really is. Evy went to the receptionist and asked for her schedule.

"Hello, I am Evelyn Brook." but she interrupted her.

"New student?" Mrs Brown asked. (The receptionist)

"kind of" she smiled politely. Evy instantly grew liking towards her.

"Here's your schedule and the school map along with your locker number. All your books are already kept in it. Enjoy your first day. Have fun." she said kindly with a smile.

"Thank you and I sure will have some fun here" Evy smirked.

She was walking towards her locker when she clashed into something or rather someone.

"I am sorr..." She stopped when she looked who was the person in front of her.

"I am sorry." She said coldly and passed through him without giving him a second glance.

The morning was going smoothly until Eddy clashed into someone. In front of him was the new girl. But something was odd here. He doesn't know, but he had a feeling in the pit of his stomach that he knows her from somewhere. Wished he had a better view of her face.

She gave him a cold shoulder and left. Hot would be an understatement. She was beautiful. She wore a skinny black jean with red top and above that a black leather jacket. She also wore boots which were screaming bad ass. She had an attitude which was telling him 'you better not mess with me'.

For some unknown reason Eddy found her Interesting. But there was something he was missing for sure. When she apologized to him without any emotions that she felt it knows something that he is not aware of.

Eddy met his friends in the boy's common room. Yes! They have separate rooms for boys were all the lockers are furnished. There is no entry for girls there.

Over there every single male species was talking about the new chick, but not a single person knows her name. Strange!

Evy went towards the girl common room to take her books for her first lecture. She was about to step in when her breath hitched. In front of her was her best girlfriend Hailey standing in all her glory looking at Evy's old locker. She could see that how much Hailey missed her and was missing her now.

"Looking at my old locker would not bring me back Hails." Evy smirked to which Hailey turns around.

"Evy" she said with a shocking expression on her face.

They both ran towards each other and gave one, another one of her our bone crushing hug. You might be thinking such a Lesbos move, but hey! She is her female soul mate. They both have been through hell together.

"Oh my god! I still can't believe you are here."

"Well, there is one way to make you believe." Evy smirked and pinched her cheek.

"Ouch!" she rubbed her cheek. "Ok I believe it now."

They both were laughing and hugging. Hailey is a bit shorter than Evy. She is 5'3 where as Evy is 5'5. She is not too skinny but not fat also. She is pretty and cute. She is not like other girls who love to expose and wear slutty clothes.

"You look so pretty. The past year has been good for you." she exclaimed.

"I won't argue for that. I hope I have not been replaced." Evy said.

"I missed you Evy. Nothing was same without you. I did make a few friends, but no one was special enough to take your place."

"I missed you too, and I did make a best friend there..." Her face fell.

"But you know I would call him my second-best friend. No one will ever take your position." She hugged here.

Their conversation was soon interrupted by the bell. It was the signal for their first lecture. Here in Woodstock there are three bell systems. First bell is significant for them to make their way towards class. Second bell is a warning bell which rings after five minutes and the third is the second warning bell which indicates if you are not in class you might get a detention slip.

Cool right!

On their way to class the girls compared their schedule and they both were ecstatic to find out that both of them head same lectures. As the girls entered into the class, everyone stopped doing their thing. They all were staring at Evy and giving her curious glances. Ignoring them all she sat on the bench with Hailey.

"Wow! Evy. You have changed. I mean you are finally your true self with everyone out there."

"It is time for me to get out of my shell Hails. You know there is so much I have to tell you about."

But Evy was interrupted by one of the popular and most arrogant jock.

"Hey Hailey, hey babes!" Victor said.

Mostly everyone knew Hailey because she is one of the sweetest people here. You can trust her with anything. She gives friendly vibes to everyone which attracts them towards her. But due to her down to earth and not so slutty attitude she isn't in IT group.

"Hey Victor." Evy said flatly.

"I see you know my name." he smirked.

"Well I always keep track of people who are on my hate list." she said innocently. Hailey was trying to muffle her laugh with her hand.

"Ouch! That hurts." He faked his hurt tone and kept his hand on his heart. She doubts if he even has a heart.

"And I care because?" Evy raise my eyebrows

"Who wouldn't care about me? Just look at me." he didn't know how dumb he was sounding right now.

"Whatever!"

"At least tell me your name?"

"Well just say I am your worst nightmare."

Their little talk was interrupted by the Ms Rose. She is their literature professor. Evy was thankful that this school doesn't have Introduction of new student thing. Yes, here the class starts directly. After five minutes there was a VIP entry of one of the most egoistic and arrogant jocks.

"May I come in?"

"Edward you are Five minutes late but as it is the start of new year, I would spare you from detention. But don't you repeat it again"

"Thank you, Ms Rose." he came inside and stopped. He was looking for an empty sit around the class. And soon his eyes met hers. Evy didn't want to flash any kind of emotion so she rolled her eyes and ignored him. After few seconds he went towards the back and sat beside one of the biggest bitch in this school, Madeline.

Edwards looked same as before. She can bet you that he is the same arrogant jerk.

The next three lectures went smoothly and soon it was lunch time. Yay! For her as she just loves eating. Unlike other schools is town their canteen provides really good food.

Edward was stopped dead on his tracks when he saw those familiar green emerald eyes. When her eyes met his, he could see hatred in them. The next three lectures were torture for him. Not because of the teachers but because his mind was filled with thoughts. Not once she glanced his way.

Finally, bell rang and she left the class. Eddy wanted to chase behind her but he was stopped by none other than Madeline. She is dam irritating and clingy. He doesn't even know why he stands her. She is the biggest mistake of his life.

Evy and Hailey sat on one of the tables of the canteen. She wasn't a loner in this school. From past year she had been part of the group in which there was all kind of people. Geeks, nerds, emo, and etc. And actually, Evy finds it cool. She thinks a person should befriend variety of people instead of hanging out with one type of people.

Evy was informing Hailey about her life back in her old school. During the whole three classes they had been chatting like maniac. She really wished Max was here. Max is her best friend from other school. He was his strength there. He is the only reason why Evy is able to face these monsters.

"Hails, I heard there is a new boy who has enrolled in the school?"

"Yeah there is but I have not seen any new faces...until now" Hailey was looking behind her.

When she turned back, she was not able to believe her eyes. Evy stood up and instantly ran towards him. She hugged him hard. He swirls Evy around and pecked her cheek. Evy grabbed his arm and pulled him towards their table.

"Hails remember I was telling you about my best buddy back in my old school. Well meet Mathew aka Max."

"Hello" she said shyly. Hailey is shy. But once she gets along with the person, then this girl could never stop talking.

"Hi, Evy told me so much about you. And finally, I am able to meet the famous Hailey." he hugged her.

She was blushing hard. And well even Evy was shocked because Max never hugs any random person. And he was giving her his famous hugs. She did know for the fact that Max would love Hailey and vice versa when they meet.

All three of them were chatting and laughing when they were interrupted by Victor again.

"Hey nightmare. What you doing here? A girl like you should be sitting with us. If you want your friends could also tag along."

"Well we are pretty fine here." Evy replied, frustration clearly written on her face.

"Oh, come on." Victor insisted.

"Dude just leave." Max intervened.

With that he left us alone. Max could be scary if he wants.

Then the bell rang signalling for the next lecture.

During break Evy found that Max shifted to Woodstock and wanted to surprise her. He was glad he did though. Both her best friends were with her now. And the best part of it was she could see Hailey and Max becoming best buddies soon.

The next lecture was Evy's personal favourite, Psychology lecture. And not only that, her favourite teacher Mrs Natalia was going to take it. She used to take the Psychology workshop in her old school.

"Look who do we have here? My favourite students. Max and Evy." Mrs Natalia exclaimed.

"The one and only." Max grinned.

"And you might be the famous Hailey, of whom Evelyn always used to talk about." Mrs Natalia spoke. Mrs Natalia also used to be Evy's counsellor. She always used to tell her all about Hailey.

"Well class I am Mrs Natalia Peters your Psychology teacher and the cultural head of this school" She exclaimed.

"Is she Evelyn Brook?" Madeline asked.

"Yes, she is." Mrs Natalia confirmed. With that everyone in the class started talking.

Evy was suppressing her laugh along with Max and Hails.

"So everyone you all can get along with Evelyn afterwards but before that I have various things to inform you. As you know Woodstock High is famous for is cultural activities and fest, so this year we have made some changes in the cultural team. Instead of Madeline, Evelyn and Max will be new cultural heads. And Edward and Carson are also removed from their assistant post"

"What!" Madeline shrieked.

"You might be Madeline. Calm down girl. You are already the head of cheerleader and Edward is head of football along with Carson who is Captain of basketball team. And looking at the past two year's record, the statistic has gone low." These made her shut up and shrunk down in her seat.

Mrs Natalia continued, "So now Evelyn and Max will be replacing you Madeline. Don't speak anything and let me complete. Evelyn and Max had done a wonderful job back there in old school and the graph is much higher from here. Hailey you will be assisting both of them and you are chosen because I have seen her portfolio and rest of the teachers have also recommended you. So, from now on these are your new heads. I want every one of you to corporate with them. And as for your Psychology class, well it will start from Tomorrow along with rest of the lecture. You all are dispersed."

With that everyone left.

Eddy was beyond hurt when he saw Evy hugging the new guy. When he entered the canteen for once he thought she was running towards him but she didn't even look at him. Instead she hugged that guy. Though the guy was good looking and all but still. He was their new football player. Apparently in his old school he was one of the best players.

Eddy was even shocked when he heard that she, Max and Hailey would be the new head of cultural team. He is not complaining or anything but he was feeling like he have been replaced by Max and it stung. And most importantly she talked about Hailey to Mrs Natalia but what about him? Is he nothing to her?

Each and every person was shocked when they learned the new girl is none other than their old Evelyn Brook. But when Eddy saw the beautiful green emerald eyes of her, He Instantly knew who she was.

She was the nerd and laughing stock of Woodstock high. She has changed a lot. Not as in change in bad way but now her true personality was reflecting which was only known by him and Hailey.

He is glad that she has changed within one year. She has changed for good because now not only Evy but even Max and Hailey will be considered in their popular crowd. And they do deserve it.

Evy have always been creative along with Hails and Eddy is glad that they are part of their cultural team. He has no doubt that Evelyn, Hailey and Max would be good head.

Evelyn, Hailey, Max. He sighed. It always used to be Evelyn, Hailey, and Eddy. They were like three musketeers till eight class. But after that also they used to hangout. Evelyn was closest to him.

But he can't blame her though. Eddy have been horrible to not only Evy but also to Hailey. He does deserve this.

Is karma a real thing?

Naah! He doesn't think so. Yes, Evy is angry now but once he asks for an apology everything will be back to normal. He knows her, she always forgives him. And he knows that she will forgive him again. But first Eddy needs to give her some space and let her calm down. Once she comes around, he will ask her for forgiveness and they will be best friends again.

Finally, Evelyn Brook his best friend is back.
