School was finished just like that. The day felt long, but now it was finally over. It was time to relax. Violet couldn't wait until she arrived home and could just lay down on her bed. As she walked out and farewelled her friends she went to where her mom usually parked. She still hadn't arrive. Did Dash get sent to the principal's office again? She thought he had learned better by now. Especially since now he was allowed to compete in sports and he could risk their identities. No. She shook her head. He knew better. They were probably just stuck in traffic. It was common for traffic jams and such around here. Nothing big. Unless if the pile up of traffic was caused by some psychopathic maniac. She hadn't received a call, so Violet stood by her typical traffic jam idea.
If it wasn't for the time machine he could've waited for the whole day for the school to finish. Then again he wouldn't be here either. Wilbur saw her again. The girl with the pretty, long hair. He was here to find The Incredibles and yet he was finding himself being drawn to the girl. Something about her remained a mystery. When there was a mystery he had to solve it. Why of all girls did she stand out the most? Maybe it was because she tried to blend in meaning she definitely had something to hide. He could just talk to her.
And what alter the time stream? Sure lets go with that idea. Nothing can go wrong.
Him being here was altering time, but since the events of altering his existence he kinda didn't interact so much with people or touched much. He just stood and observed most of the time. She would remain a mystery unsolved.
"Ow." He looked to see the girl had tripped and dropped her books. Without thinking he came to her side and kneeled down and helped her. "You okay?" He asked.
A rushing student ran past her and knocked her over. He didn't even stop to apologise. He just kept running. Violet felt pain in her leg.
Please don't be sprained.
Violet ignored it for now and tried to gathered her books and papers. She went to grab a sheet of paper when a hand grabbed it and handed it to her. She took the sheet and looked up at who it was.
"You okay?" She was staring into hazel brown eyes. It was the boy from earlier. "Hey you okay?" He asked again.
"What?" Violet blinked. "Oh yeah I'm fine." She nodded and went to pick up the rest of her stuff with his help. The boy got up first and she tried but the pressure on her leg was too much that she knelt back down. "Ahh." She said and looked at it.
Wilbur placed her stuff to the side and went down to her. "Is it bad?"
The girl shrugged. "I don't know. I hope it isn't serious." She said.
He grabbed her bag and placed her stuff in their neatly, since that seemed to be how she had things. "Come on." He put her bag over his shoulders and held out his hand to her.
Violet watched him and then took his hand, where he used his other hand and supported her back. Gently bringing her up.
"Can you walk?" He asked her gently releasing her but still having his hands out to catch her incase.
Violet tried to take a step but fell back and he caught her. "Your school has a nurse right?"
"Well duh." She replied. What school didn't?
"Ok ok. Just asking. Come on." He said and carried her so she wouldn't have to walk. "You'll probably have to direct me to it though." He smiled.
She held on to him. "It's just inside and through the office." She said.
Wilbur nodded and then carried her inside following her direction. Violet found herself looking at him again. She forgot about the pain until they arrived in front of the sick bay and he put her down again. Although gentle, the impact of her foot on the ground was a lot of pressure.
A woman passed before Wilbur could knock. "What's wrong?" She asked.
"She hurt her herself." Wilbur directed over to Violet. The woman looked at her. "Ok bring her in." She said hurriedly and opened the door. Wilbur again carried Violet and bought her in. "Place her there." The woman motioned them to a vacant bed. Wilbur carefully put Violet down and moved out of the way for the woman who was clearly a nurse.
"What's wrong Miss Parr?"
"I fell down and I hurt my ankle."
The nurse carefully removed her shoe and sock and examined her foot, careful not to hurt it. She laid a finger and pressed gently with a little force causing Violet to react. That was her sign to let go. She then moved over to a fridge and took out a blue ice pack and placed it on her foot. "Hold it there." Violet nodded and held it in place.
"And who are you? I've never seen you before." The nurse said turning over to Wilbur.
"That is an excellent question." He replied sheepishly.
"He's a friend from out of town who came to visit." Violet quickly answered.
The nurse eyed both of them but accepted the answer. "I'll just call your mother. I'll be a moment." She said and then walked out leaving the two teenagers alone.
It was a long silence. The silence was broken by Violet.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Who exactly are you?
Wilbur bit his lip and looked around the room. Should he tell her who he was? He didn't exist yet and neither did most his relatives. "I'm Wilbur. Wilbur Robinson." He introduced himself. He felt he could trust her.
"Then thank you Wilbur." She thanked again this time saying his name. "I guess I owe you now. For helping me out." She smiled
He found she had a beautiful smile. Why was he so interested in the way she smiled? "There is one way you could repay me." He smirked.
"What?" She looked at him confused.
"Tell me your name. I've told you mine so it seems fair that I should know yours."
"It's Violet. Violet Parr." She said with a small smile.
He wanted to say pretty name for a pretty face, but he held back as he didn't want to give her the wrong idea. He was also interrupted when the nurse came back barging in.
"You're mother will be here in a minute to pick you up." She said to Violet. "I also suggest you don't put too much pressure on your foot." She added.
Violet nodded. Guess she would have to be MIA for a while with crime fighting and other superhero business. Again the school nurse left the room.
"I think I should be going now." Wilbur said.
"Oh." Violet said a little upset. "Will I ever see you again?" She asked.
Wilbur was now at the door with is back to her and then he turned around with a grin to her. "Only time will tell." Was all he said and then he was out the door and she would not be able to see him for a while.
Like Wilbur had said "Only time will tell." And time would indeed tell, for time has and always been an interesting concept.
