An ugly reminder that although so much was occurring in the real world, the stress of High School was still impending doom on Monday. Sunday Jacob remained in his family’s basement, now having to deal with withdrawing symptoms, as Alexander remained loyally by his friend’s side. It was a rough day for Jacob, and it wouldn’t be much better Monday either. Terrance and Helene parted their separate ways come Sunday morning, as Terrance had to run around checking on Jacob and corresponding with his parents. Arthur and Eva were able to sneak out of the house while his parents were out, and his sister was too distracted by her cell phone to acknowledge them. They spent most of the day apartment shopping, though no place seemed good enough. Arthur kept his arms crossed, pointing out issues with every place they went to. Flimsy locks on doors, bad neighborhood, one place was specifically in Ricardo Munez’s “drug zone” and Arthur instantly turned it down. It felt almost impossible for Arthur to find an apartment that he trusted to be safe enough for Eva to stay in, and by the time he realized it- it was getting late again. At one point in the day, Arthur was able to take Eva to her home to gather her clothes, violin, and any other necessities. Arthur wasn’t sure if he was lucky or Evelyn was lucky, that the house was empty upon arrival. Arthur wasn’t so sure he would be able to hold back on strangling Eva’s mother if he saw her. But, it seemed that Eva would have to spend another night with him, not that he minded. But it was going to be difficult sneaking out Eva with him on Monday morning, while his mom and sister were both present in the early morning. But that was exactly what they had to do on Monday. As Arthur rose from bed and began to get dressed, gently stirring Eva beside him, so she could get dressed as well. Grabbing his backpack and taking Eva’s hand, he gestured for Eva to remain quiet as they descended the stairs to the kitchen. It was significantly quiet, so Arthur assumed no one was there, but upon turning the corner with Eva, Arthur saw his mother, Alyssa Myles, standing silently and staring at the entry way. She was waiting for Arthur specifically. There were three brown paper bags placed on the table in front of her, along with three plates of breakfast. One of which Lillian, Arthur’s sister was chowing down on. [color=dodgerblue]”Shit!”[/color] Arthur quickly turned, practically toppling over Eva in the process. [color=gold]”Arthur, you don’t have to hide. I’m not going to tell your father about your guest.”[/color] Arthur’s heart was pounding at the prospect of getting caught, but he trusted his Mother and slowly moved back into the kitchen, guiding Eva with him. How did Alyssa know that he had Eva over… How long did she know that he had Eva over? But as Arthur pondered these questions, it seemed his mother could read his mind. [color=gold]”A mother always knows.”[/color] Alyssa was playing with her hair, doing and undoing the many braids throughout her hair as her eyes jumped from Arthur to Eva, a smile growing on her gentle face, and her eyes lighting up. [color=gold]”It is nice to finally meet you, Eva… I’m sorry my son hasn’t been able to introduced us. My husband can be very… particular with his house rules. I’m also afraid that all I know about you is your name, from Arthur’s father.”[/color] A deep red flush returned to Arthur’s face, remembering how it even was that his father discovered about Eva and her name. It scared him to think if Noah told Alyssa about that event as well. Alyssa’s eyes quickly scanned over Eva, and she nodded, walking towards her. [color=gold]”And she already has such long, blonde hair… Do you mind if I braid it, sweetie?”[/color] But before Alyssa could allow Eva to answer, she was already running her fingers through Eva’s hair, braiding it. Arthur sat at the table, beginning to eat the breakfast of eggs and toast laid out before him. He still felt like he was on high alert, not completely sure if his father was already out for the day. But Arthur would also be surprised if he was home, as Noah tended to always get an early start on weekdays. [color=gold]”Your Father is too hard on you, if you ask me Arthur. I don’t mind that your little friend stays here for… whatever the reason may be.”[/color] Alyssa’s blues eyes seemed to flash to Arthur. It was obvious that she knew why Eva was here. Damn, it kind of pissed off Arthur that his parents knew so much more than him, and weren’t willing to share any of it. Lillian also looked at the new guest with curious eyes, but also seemed not very interested, as her phone was preoccupying most of her attention. [color=thistle]”If you don’t mind giving my clothes back too, Arthur. I’d really appreciate it. My clothes aren’t bathrobes handed out at hotels.”[/color] She didn’t seem to lift her eyes from her phone, just curling her pigtail hairs between her fingers. It clicked with Arthur that that could have been how Alyssa found out about the presence of another girl in the house… increased laundry. [color=gold]”She is welcome to stay as long as she likes… but you two need to continue being careful around your father. He doesn’t mean everything he says… But it is best not to push buttons. And so long as you both don’t bring me any grandchildren too early, I have no issues.“[/color] [color=dodgerblue]”We have to go.”[/color] Arthur said abruptly, stealing the two lunches from the counter for him and Eva, and then grabbing Eva’s hand and evacuating her from the situation, half of a braid done in her hair. Alyssa just smiled and waved as the two left. And Alyssa turned towards Lillian. [color=gold]”And you need to get going too-“[/color] Retreating to Arthur’s Volvo, he let out a loud sigh, holding his head. God, only his family could be so weird, he looked at Eva out of the corner of his eyes. [color=dodgerblue]”Sorry about that…”[/color] It didn’t take long for the Duo to arrive on campus, and it very quickly caught the attention of students in the parking lot, as Arthur and Eva both stepped out of the car together. Word travelled faster than a contagious disease, as murmurings began to spread about Arthur arriving on campus with [i]a girl[/i] Some people could identify her as Eva, many others didn’t even know who she was until they saw her standing next to the quiet giant, walking on campus. Arthur just sighed, rubbing his head. He wondered if this kind of negative attention annoyed Arthur as much as it did Eva. A few cars over in the parking lot, two bodies began to scramble out of a car, carrying a third one over their shoulders. None other than Jacob, Alexander, and Terrance. When Terrance locked eyes on Arthur, he began to yell out. [color=lightblue]”Considering you are the strongest of us.. and technically a bodyguard. I think you should be the one carrying this lump!”[/color] Arthur looked at Eva for a second then back to Jacob, who was barely standing on his feet. Arthur hadn’t told Eva anything about what occurred on Saturday, and he wasn’t sure if Alyssa had told her anything. But Arthur hurried over, and with one arm lifted Jacob over his shoulder, where he continued to lay limply. [color=dodgerblue]”Was it a good idea to bring him on campus?”[/color] Terrance waved his hand, dismissing the question. [color=lightblue]”He is fine. He was walking around and talking all this morning. Symptoms just keep hitting him in waves. He tends to bounce around from perfectly fine to practically manic-depressive.”[/color] Terrance’s eyes drifted and landed on Eva, where he locked up slightly, and laughed nervously. [color=lightblue]”Really bad case of the flu, this one… Best to keep your distance. Shouldn’t you be looking for your own friends?”[/color] Arthur shot a glare towards Terrance, though he seemed to ultimately ignore it. Arthur didn’t appreciate Terrance talking to Eva that way. But at the same time, it was a hint that Terrance didn’t want Eva within earshot of whatever he needed to communicate to Arthur. [color=teal]”You can put me down, I can walk myself…”[/color] Jacob’s groggy voice spoke up, and Arthur obeyed, steading Jacob on his feet. He [i]really[/i] didn’t look good. His face was significantly pale, for a Swede, his normally emerald green eyes looked faded, and his eyes look sunken in his eye sockets. He couldn’t have sleep within the past 24 hours at least. He really should have stayed home, but Jacob seemed to insist that he needed to come in today, for whatever reason. The campus was slowly filling with bodies again, and Arthur could hear again as rumor bounced from boy to girl to girl to boy about Arthur arriving on campus with [i]some[/i] girl.
