Elsword: Within A Thousand Heart Beats

32. A Friend To Save

A hero once told me to spread some happiness, someone needs it . . .

(Eve's POV)

Add and I are only a fake couple, but his actions are getting out of hand. First off he's actually scolding me for eating lots, and get me started on the clothes he's making me wear. It's to a point now where my mom is beginning to question my new looks. Yes, I know my crazy mom actually beginning to disapprove what I'm wearing! Can you hear the red flags going off; because I can.

Currently Add is discussing plans for Spring break. He dragged me away from the group just to ramble on about what he wants to do over the break. Honestly I don't want to do this anymore, this is getting too exhausting for me.

"Eve are you listening?" Add snaps.

Shivers crawl down my spine as I return to reality," er yeah," I reply with a shrug. "Can we go inside? I'm cold."

Immediately Add takes off his white hoodie and drapes it over my shivering body," you could've told me earlier, I would've given this to you."

"Maybe if you didn't force me to wear this awful crop top I wouldn't be cold in the first place!" I hiss back at him.

For a brief moment I could see a flash of anger in his eyes. Normally I would feel intimated, but I've received this look from him so many times that it has lost its affect on me," is that a way to treat your boyfriend?"

"You mean my fake boyfriend?" I remind him. As you can clearly see Add has been getting on my nerves, I'm actually quite surprised by my reactions to him now. "Listen, Add, this is beginning to get out of hand -"

"What are you talking about?" He rudely interrupts me. "How can we convince everyone that we're an actual couple without doing this! Don't you want Elsword to react to all of this?"

I cringe at his reasoning. He used this method the last time and we both know how well this method works on me. I simply look away from him in response, it's a simple way of admitting defeat.

"Good, now about our beach trip."

(Rena's POV)

"I can't believe we're this close to the end of the school year." I thought out loud while doing my Art assignment. "This year has certainly been an interesting one!"

Chung nudges me on the arm," are you done talking crazy cat lady?"

"No, Pikachu wanna be." Seriously though, Chung must really like Pikachus. "Y'know I'm surprised people are finally being more nice to us."

Chung sends me a questioning look," nice as in pretending we don't exist?"

"I mean some actually talk to me now," I explain while dipping my paintbrush into the blob of red paint. "Hey, I heard some popular kid is having a party tonight. I wonder if it'll be fun there."

Chung drops his paint brush once those words slipped out of my mouth. A trail of yellow paint is left behind as the brush rolls under the table," are you nuts?!" He snaps.

"What? I was just curious! After all all throughout High School I have never been to a party." I defend. All those stories I read make parties seem so fun! I've always wanted to attend one.

"Those things are dangerous!" The concern in Chung's voice begins to grow. "Just attend some 5 year old's birthday party instead! Whatever you do don't go!"

"Okay fine calm down father!" I put my hands up to surrender. "I don't get why your'e over reacting like this."

Chung's cheeks begin to turn into a light shade of pink. As if he's realizing his face is changing color he quickly looks away and ducks down to retrieve his fallen paint brush.
