Chapter 663 - Six Hundred And Sixty-three: Good Friends
*Not edited
The third point of view:
Ailee got back to class and wasn't surpised by the absence of her brother since they didn't share the current subject. However, her searching gaze found Eve and guilt gnawed at her heart. She misjudged the girl from the first place thinking she got the hots for her brother.
With a sigh, Ailee headed in her direction and stood in front of her with, "Hi,"
Eve glanced up at her, looking quite surpised by her prescence. Her look was questioning, as if asking, 'are you talking to me?' However, in the next minute, the girl turned her gaze away from her disinterestedly causing furrows to appear on Ailee's face.
"If you're here to defend your brother, then I'm sorry to inform you that you're wasting your time with me. I didn't look into your brother's answer and would never admit that," Eve said firmly, her head held high.
All she had done was get a perfect score on a test and rumours had already spread across the school that she copied from Allen. The whole morons forgot the fact that she had been the only one who got a prefect score. Where Allen had failed, she had succeeded, so why would she need to peep at his work?
"I believe you," Ailee said.
Her head turned to the side, her mouth opened in surpise as she stared up at Ailee, "You believe me?"
"Of course," Ailee said, rolling her eyes, "My brother has an obsession with winning and like you said, he's just a sore loser,"
"Actually," Ailee added, "That's why I'm here," she confessed, "To apologize for his attitude. You didn't deserve what he did to you and it was disrespectful,"
"If anyone's going to apologize, it would be your brother," Eve insisted.
"In that case then, you shouldn't have your hopes high. My brother is a arrogant, haunty asshole and you would never receive an apology from him till the day he dies," she told her.
Eve sighed, wiping her face with her palm. She then asked Ailee, "How are you even twins with him? You both are so different from eachother,"
Ailee gave a heavy sigh as well, "Trust me, I keep asking that question everyday. By the way, how's your shoulder? I saw the way my brother gripped you, that must have hurt like shit,"
"Oh, this," Eve said and then flexed the injured shoulder, "It's nothing, doesn't hurt at all and I can't tell if there would be a bruise until I get a wound. But don't be bothered by that because this is the least injury I've experienced. I grew up naughty and injured myself a lot of time,"
"Gosh!" Ailee exclaimed, "It was the same thing for me as well. Trust me, Allen wasn't like this before and together we both were formidable pranksters as kids," She narrated her experience as well.
"Really, that's cool," Eve then lifted her kneel and showed her a scar across her leg, "I got this one in a water pistol game, I tricked and defeated the kids at the game. However, karma paid me back by making me trip and I cut my skin against the edge of a stone," She showed her.
"Wow," Ailee then lifted her sleeve and showed off her own scar proudly, "Tried to sneak into my father's office and got caught by the metal edge of the ceiling. This darkened patch was from an experiment gone wrong. This one here was a bite from our albino mouse, Mr. Smuff junior - may his soul rest in peace when I tried snatching his food from him, " she?went ahead to show her the rest of them.
"Wow," Eve was astonished as well, both girls smiling at eachother.
"You know I kind of like you," Eve admitted.
"Me too," Ailee admitted, even though her opinion of her changed at first. But then, she proved her wrong, so why couldn't she be friends with her?
"And we haven't even introduced ourselves properly," Eve said, composing herself by bringing down her leg and then readjusted herself on her seat before stretching her hand to say, "Hi, I'm Eve Donovan and it's nice to see you,"
Ailee gave her a warm smile and then accepted her handshake saying, "Hi Eve, my name is Ailee Spencer and it's my honour to make your acquaintance," She did a bow.
Eve chuckled at her gesture, "You know, you're not what I expected you to be,"
Ailee gasped dramatically, "I'm not? What were you thinking of me then?" she inquired.
"I don't know," She shrugged, "Well, I heard a lot of stories about you and how you all come from a powerful family. I thought you would be worse than your brother, Allen. Moreover you didn't seem to like me initially,"
"Oh," Ailee was stunned, the girl did discover her cold reception,"Well… " She scratched the back of her head, wondering what excuse she could come up with. However, the serious look on Eve's face made her think otherwise.
"I thought you were interested in my brother," she confessed.
"What?!" Eve looked as if someone just threw shit on her face, "What would you even think that? No offense, Ailee, but your brother is an asshole,"
"No offense taken," She said and went on,"But you sat beside Allen when you could have taken the seat beside me,"Ailee revealed the truth.
"That's why you decided you didn't like me?"
"I just thought you were the same like the others girls who threw themselves at my brother and was jealous over the fact that I lost a potential girlfriend,"
"That was the reason?" Eve laughed at her.
Ailee's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, she never knew how childish her action had been until now.
"Hey, the only reason I sat beside Allen was so my brother could have a chance with you,"
"W-what?" Ailee choked on her saliva. No way, that can't be true. Eve was pulling her leg right, or maybe she was just saying this to cover up her own motive at approaching her brother.
But then, what if she was telling the truth? Oh God, her heart missed a beat.
