When he smiled at her, her heart fluttered inside of her chest. She smiled back at him before she ducked her head and listened to the professor for the time being. Something about Marco made her feel safe. Even if they didn't talk often, and she had a feeling he didn't want to be seen with her, because of her skin color. She didn't blame him though. Why would someone want to be seen with someone like her anyway?]]
[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 As the time ticked slowly by, she took notes and kept thinking about Marco. She had to admit to herself, she had a small crush on him, and has since high school. The way he would look at her, and just smile. That smile seemed to melt her heart, and she wanted to see that smile more and more. When the professor let them go at the end of class, she shut her notebook and packed up her things. That's when she saw a shadow fall across her desk, and she looked up to see Nadia again.]]

I just want you to know this nigger, he's not interested in you. No man would be interested in a woman with your skin color. If I were you, I would drop out, get a job where people can't see you, or better yet become a [i slave] like your ancestors were years ago"] she hissed. Nadia's words stung more than she wanted to admit. She bit her tongue a little bit longer.]]

She reached for her notebook and tried to put it away, but Nadia grabbed it and started flipping through it. [b "You are such a teacher's pet. Always taking notes. It would [i suck] if something happened to them"] she said as she started ripping the pages out of the notebook, and handed them to Celeste to rip up. That was the last straw. [#E37789 "Give those back! I need those!"] she nearly screamed reaching for the book. Nadia stood out of reach and finished ripping the pages out.]]

No one likes you, and I sure as hell don't want to call daddy and have him arrest you for hitting me"] she said as she tossed the notebook onto the floor at Eve's feet. Celeste threw the pages at Eve's feet as well. Nadia turned and looked towards Marco and winked at him. Eveleen didn't care. She felt tears stinging her eyes, as she got onto her knees to clean up the torn pages. [b "Leave soon nigger"] Nadia hissed, as she turned and kicked Eve's hand.]]
[google-font http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans][noto+sans [size12 Eveleen let out a small hiss as pain shot up her hand, and into her arm as she watched Nadia walking off. She tried to keep the tears at bay, but knew it wasn't going to work. Nadia was making her life hell, and she knew it would be better if she wasn't around. She gathered up her things, and ran out of the room and to the safety of her car. She threw her bag into the backseat, and sat there a moment to calm herself. After five minutes she started the car.]]

She backed out of the parking spot, and went to the [i Wrong side of the tracks] of town. Savannah's was her safe haven, and she wished she could just live there. She pulled around to the back, and parked in her normal parking spot. She shut the car off, climbed out and made her way inside. She felt at home here. Everyone had darker skin color, and white folks didn't come in often, and that's what made it her safe haven.]]
