Evelyn's POV

The next few weeks were pretty uneventful.

I was released from the hospital and sort of hit rock bottom.

I didn't eat and if I did I threw it up later.

I wasn't talking to anyone,

Alexis and her family were freaking out, insisting I needed a psychiatrist. Or in Alexis's case, an exorcism.

It was my last day of summer, I had finished high school and was ready to start college with Alexis.

I brushed my, now short, blonde hair in the mirror and noticed the dark circles under my eyes. I grabbed the foundation and powder and made myself look picture perfect.

Perfect, that's all I ever wanted to be.

Not the broken girl that only some knew, I wanted to be flawless.

I stepped back and examined myself, dark blue skinny jeans, a long sleeved grey V neck, and my favorite pair of purple converse. I put in my dark brown contacts and smiled, perfect.

I got a surprise hug from behind, I turned my head to the right to see Niall behind me, hugging my waist. I flashed a fake but believable smile and wrapped my arms around his neck. His eyes met mine and I saw a look of love, protectiveness, and safety.

None of the things I deserved.

He kissed me softly as I pulled him in closer, not wanting him to let go of that kiss. I could feel his hands leave my waist and travel up my back, his lips not once leaving mine. These were the moments I treasured, the ones were I felt like nothing else mattered except that kiss.

We parted and I stared up at him, he was nice, so funny, so sweet, what did he see in me?

Ugh, don't throw yourself a pity party Ev! New school, new you. Time to introduce Emma to the world.

"Did you eat," Niall asked concerned.

Niall knew about my problem and Alexis would give him updates.

"Yes," I lied.

I didn't want to eat, there was a giant knot in my stomach that was preventing me from eating anything. Niall gave me a stern look but then gave up on figuring out whether or not I was lying.

"Well, now it's my turn to eat". Niall said as he quickly rushed to the fridge. I laughed, that boy was never full. Alexis rushed up to my side and looked at me.

"You look fabulous darling." Alexis said in one of her trademark voices. I gave her a tight hug and smiled.

"Time for college," I said as we walked downstairs. I gave Niall a hug from behind as he was digging through the fridge.

"Bye Niall," I said as I kissed him on the cheek. He smiled with an orange in his mouth. I gave him another fake smile and walked out the door Alexis by my side. 

We walked onto the campus and got our schedules. We began to compare them to see if we had anything together.

"Okay looks like we have lunch, fourth period, and second period together." I said as I quickly stuck my schedule in my bag. I began to walk to my first class when I got bumped and knocked to the ground. All of a sudden his face appeared above mine, his obviously dyed black hair, his impeccable emerald eyes, his tan rich tan skin, those lips..... GET BACK TO REALITY EVELYN AND STOP DROOLING OVER HIM!

"Sorry," I mumbled.

He just smiled and offered me his hand, "It's okay, I'm James by the way."

He has a British accent too.

He is officially perfect.

Wait, I have Niall, and something about James seems so odd, so familiar. I smiled and took his hand.

"Can I help you to your next class?" James asked sweetly. "It's my second year here so I sorta know this campus."

I just smiled like an idiot.

"I'll take that as a yes?" James took my hand and led me to my first class. We faced each other again.

"Well, here's your class, if you need any other help. I'm usually hanging around the quad. I never got your name though."

My name. My name. What the hell was my name?

"E-E-Emma," I chocked out.

"Well okay, E-E-Emma," James said chuckling. He grabbed a pen out of his pocket and scribbled something on my hand. "If you need help with studies, or just want to talk or something, my numbers on your palm." I smiled and glanced at my palm. The bell rang and James sprinted down the hall.

Damn his ass looked good in this red skinny jeans.

Earth to Evelyn or Emma or whatever your name is now! You a) have a boyfriend and b) are a freshman. Oh and let's not forget c) you're late for first period!

I ran inside the door and because of my gawking at James, got a detention for being late.

Great start so far. Idiot!

I looked at palm and scribbled down James's onto my notebook. I wrote his name down too, a few dozen time.

Wait! You like Niall, Niall not this random James guy who is just so intoxicating. Focus Evelyn! Focus.

"Miss Charleston can you tell me the answer to problem three," called my professor.

Shit.

"Um 34.97," I said taking a stab in the dark.

"Well Miss Charleston, that would be right, if you were in math. This is English One. Now get your head back in the game."

Great, my first day isn't even over and I already have a professor who hates me. Idiot!

That's what I've been trying to tell you!
