Author Spotlight! Jennifer Sivec's Leaving Eva
Leaving Eva; The
Eva Series, Book One
Excerpt
Stacy
looked at her pretty friend with the dark brown hair, beautiful skin, and big
luminous brown eyes that seemed to stare right through you. Brynn was
completely oblivious to just how beautiful she was, and part of Stacy was
jealous, and the other part was in awe at how naïve her friend really was. She
had always known that Brynn would get out of their town. She never belonged
there to begin with. Stacy always knew that Brynn would leave, just as Stacy knew
that she wouldn’t. Stacy’s mother, and her mother before her, never left. The
kids who grew up in her town just stayed, married their high school
sweethearts, had babies, and then repeated the cycle all over again. But Brynn
was different from the rest of them. Never once in her mind did she accept that
fate, although Stacy had a long time ago.
“You
know that I’m not like you. I’ll never get more than a high school education!
I’ll end up marrying some boy like my Daddy, if I even get married at all.” Stacy
said trying not to sound angry. It wasn’t Brynn’s fault that Brynn was
exceptional. When she looked at Brynn, she was surprised that they were
friends. Brynn was even prettier than most of those stuck up cheerleaders, the
ones who made fun of her and called her “Stacy Pastry.”
Brynn
should have been friends with one of them, but instead she was friends with
Stacy Pastry. Stacy was always waiting for the day that Brynn realized that she
was friends with the ugly fat girl.
“You’re
always lecturing me on my grades, but I’m not going any- where! The only reason
you’re going somewhere is that you weren’t born in this shit hole like everyone
else. You’ll get out because Rose isn’t you’re real Momma.”
Stacy
knew that eating all those cupcakes would make her fatter. But she already knew
how fat and ugly she was, because Daddy told her all the time. He didn’t know
how he could have such a fat pig for a daughter. Stacy’s other sisters were
thin and pretty, and Daddy was nice to them, too nice if you asked Stacy.
She
wanted to be fat so that her Daddy would hate her. Getting a beating every now
and again was much better than the other thing. The thing her sister’s got.
She
knew that Brynn would get out. She never belonged there to begin with, and
Stacy dreaded that day. She knew that when Brynn left, she would be alone,
completely. Stacy didn’t know how she could make it without her best and only
friend.
