Connor's POVThe party and graduation went well yesterday. However, my eyes opened to Eva last night. Eva was never catty. She was always a brilliant young lady who was quiet and clever but became a little snobbish since she got the scholarship. I couldn't believe it was the same girl I grew up with. Last night she was bitchy to some of our old friends. She acted like she was already a doctor. I will have to talk to her about it because I wouldn't say I like her new behavior. I do not know if I like this new Eva. However, I'm not going to think about it today. I want to go and see my new apartment. My parents have both for me and have given me an allowance to buy all the furniture I want. I can't wait to show it to Jimmy and Eva. I'm sure they will be happy for me. I also could have gotten a scholarship, but I refused it because my parents have enough money to pay for my studies, and I feel that the children who do not have enough money should get the scholarships.My parents went and

Eva's POV I don't get to do wealthy children whose parents care about them all the time. Why would Connor rub his new apartment in the faces of Jimmy and me? I thought it was different, but he always bragged about everything he gets. He thinks he shares it with his friends, but I don't believe so. I think that he is just showing off like the rest of the rich children. And I can no longer see him. He's just like the rest of them. He will fit better with somebody like Norma. She will be thrilled to see his new apartment and wear her beautiful dresses when they go out. I do not believe in love. I have seen how my parents acted not only to each other but also to their new partners. There is no such thing as love. I want to become a doctor. I want to become an independent woman to buy the stuff Connor and his wealthy friends get for free. I know a lot of people think that I am jealous, but I'm not jealous. I do not care what the wealthy people have in this town. All I know is I wanted some

Connor's POVI do not know where Jimmy went, but when he got back, he looked angry. I can see that he is very disappointed. And I understand that he must have gone and confronted Eva. To my surprise, I'm not very upset that we broke up. I saw it's coming a long time because Eva was changing overtime. It was like she was thinking that she was better than everyone else. I am not very thrilled about it, but what can I do? I always loved Eva, but more like a sister than a girlfriend. Eva was always jealous of the children whose parents cared about them and would vent her frustrations on Norma. Norma has gone quiet over the last few years. She had a few mean girlfriends but hadn't been friends with them the previous couple of months and was always sitting by herself. She always looked sad. But if somebody tried to talk to her, she was bitchy and drove them away.On prom night, she came with Johnny, one of our friends, and she looked like a beauty queen with too much makeup and a pageant ha

Connor's POVThe receptionist at my apartment called me and told me a young lady wanted to see me. She was here earlier today. I immediately know that it is Eva. I understand she will be angry with me for taking Norma's side. However, I couldn't help it. Norma looked so sad today, and I think her parents kicked her out of the house. Why else would she work in a diner? I wonder what happened, but I am sure Eva will tell me everything after she shouts at me. Jimmy is staying with me tonight, and we are playing games. I say to the receptionist to let her in. "Let me guess, Eva is here," Jimmy says. "Yeah, she is here. I think the two of us will get it," I say. We smile at each other because we no longer take Eva seriously. My door bursts open. This is supposed to be my first night in my apartment, and I'm already having drama."How dare you? How do you take that woman's side over mine? I lost my job tonight, or because of you! I thought we were supposed to be friends. How could you do

Connor's POVI want to find out what Norma's story is. Why is she working in the diner? And is Eva even telling us the truth? Eva has been very jealous of Norma ever since we started going to school. I think Eva did not care about Norma's parents, but she did not like that Norma won many beauty pageants. I know a lot of women are very jealous of women who are beautiful and when beauty pageants or become models or something like that. I constantly criticize those people who are attractive. I think it is human nature to be jealous of the most beautiful people around you. I always felt that Norma thought she was better than us. She never invited us to her birthday parties or her house. Now I wonder if it is because she was ashamed of her parents. Perhaps she didn't want us to see how her parents treated her. Maybe she didn't even like participating in beauty pageants. I remember that she always had to look like a doll when she was a little girl. When she was older, she always had to loo
