Thank you for all the lovely reviews! ^^
Here's chapter 2 :D
Monday 17th May, 2011, 7:00am
Violet Harmon
She'd been up for at least half an hour just trying to perfect herself for her new school. She wanted to make a good impression, and felt that if she looked her best it would help a lot. She had just finished French braiding her hair to the side of her head when her mother opened her bedroom door.
"Vi'? Breakfasts done." Vivien said with a smile "You look nice."
Violet smiled at her "Thanks mom and I'll be done in a second; I'm just getting my stuff ready."
"Alright, well, you got everything you need? Pens? Pencils?"
Violet laughed at her mom's interest "Yes mom I have everything I need."
"Then I shall leave you alone now." With that said she shut the door and went back downstairs.
Violet stared into her full body mirror. She'd done a pretty good job with her outfit today and it matched the weather perfectly.
A beautiful light blue tea dress that came in at the waist and ended just above her knees with a pair of floral sandals. Perfect.
She applied a tiny bit of mascara before grabbing her bag and dashing down the stairs excitedly. She really hadn't wanted to start at a new school, but now she was thinking that it was kind of a good idea. Of course she missed all of her other friends deeply, but she knew she had to move on because they all probably had. Maybe she'd actually make a best friend this year, a friend who'd miss her if she went anywhere. Sure, her other friends had shed a couple of tears at her departure but none actually promised to stay in touch.
She got to the dining room and dropped down onto her seat, yawning. Ben turned around as he ate his daily banana and smiled at her
"I'm taking you to school today."
Violet looked up from her breakfast "Really? Oh my god how embarrassing." She smirked as she took another mouthful of cornflakes. Ben faked a hurt look
"That's it. You're grounded." He winked at her, taking another bite.
Violet looked down at her cereal, her smile fading as she replied "It wouldn't matter. I don't know anyone around here anyways."
Ben frowned "Come on Vi', you'll meet new people here! It's good to have a fresh start, right? I bet there's tons of people at that school waiting for a friend like you!"
Violet smiled feeling herself lighten up again "Yeah I guess you're right."
8:00 am
Tate Langdon
His music was blaring into his ears at full volume, the sound of teenage dirty bag almost deafening him but he liked his music like that. He was waiting for Billy to come pick him up.
His two best friends, Billy and Kieran, where…different. Indeed they were a strange little group of friends but Tate believed they were awesome.
Billy had rich parents, yet he was such a scumbag. He was always filthy with spots in random places on his face and his beanie hanging half way off his head all the time. He was a stoner and loved nothing more than getting high in his room and jerking off to girls he knew he couldn't have. But he had the greatest, most funniest personality out of anyone Tate had ever met. Kieran was the opposite. He was overweight with ginger hair and glasses and he LOVED Star Wars. He and his dad always played it in their separate rooms. He wasn't very rich but he could afford whatever he wanted with his allowance.
Tate had known both of them since pre-school; when they all used to play Power Rangers together.
Finally, after another five minutes of waiting, Billy's heap of junk car pulled up in front of Tate. Tate hoped into the front seat, shutting off his iPod so he could talk to Billy.
"Watch my door doesn't fall off." Billy said as Tate shut the door.
"I don't get it – you're rich and you still have a shit car."
Billy laughed "It's not shit. It's just…well, did it's time."
Tate laughed "Whatever. Get a move on; I'll get detention if I'm late one more time."
"Mrs. Caters a dick, huh?"
"Yep."
Violet Harmon
"Well, here we are." Ben said calmly as he pulled up in front of Westfield High.
Violet just stared out her window at the passing students. It was so goddamn big; how was she ever going to find her way around here?
"Thanks dad." She almost stuttered, opening to door and getting out. Ben smiled
"Have a great day sweetie I'll be here at three."
She gave him a weak smile as she closed the door. She watched him drive off until she couldn't see him anymore. God she felt like such a little kid.
She pushed aside her nerves, shaking off every bad thought she had before turning toward the building. Taking one deep breath she entered.
Some cars were pulling into parking spaces; teachers and students walked hurriedly around gossiping with each other. It was like her old school but bigger.
A car whizzed past her, pulling into one of the empty spaces quickly. She ignored it without another thought as she headed toward the building.
Tate Langdon
He and his two friends jumped out of Billy's car hastily.
"Shit; I told you to hurry your ass up! We're late again!" Billy snapped at Kieran. Kieran glared at him
"Don't you dare blame me. My mom was the one who shrunk my shirt I wanted to wear."
Billy rolled his eyes "She didn't shrink it, you just got fucking fatter than you already are!"
Tate laughed a little but stopped when he spotted Kieran giving him a dirty look.
He shrugged his 'Harry Pothead' backpack further up his arm. It had a picture of Harry potter smoking weed; no doubt that you can't guess who bought him it.
They basically ran to their class, busting through the door.
"You're late!" Mrs. Cater snapped as soon as they bust through the door "Oh it's the Back pack brigade! Well, you've all got detention."
"What?" Billy sighed.
"Sit down. All of you."
They all obeyed and took their seats that were separated away from each other.
About twenty more minutes passed before the door bust open again. Tate's eyes shot up from his book to see who it was.
His breath caught in his throat when he saw her. She was beautiful.
With her braided blonde hair and big brown eyes. He knew that with a face as pretty as that and her thin frame that she was almost guaranteed to end up on the cheer squad.
Mrs. Cater turned to her angrily, but when she saw her she smiled sweetly
"Ohh Violet; I've been expecting you!"
'Violet…' Tate thought 'what an awesome name.'
"Sorry I'm late…I kind of got lost." She giggled.
Mrs. Cater just smiled "Well class this is Violet Harmon. She's new here."
"Hahaha hey it's Katniss! Hey Katniss where's Peeta?" She heard someone yell, referring to her braid.
She laughed "Wow a Hunger Games joke. Cool."
"Take a seat in over in the corner next to Jameela. You don't mind do you, Jamie?"
Jameela, an African American girl, smiled "Of course not."
Violet smiled, and walked over to her chair stiffly. Jameela smiled
"Hey."
"Hi." Violet replied coolly, trying not to sound nervous.
"So, you're new here then? Would you like me to show you around after this?"
"Yeah that would be awesome!"
11:00 am Break time
Tate and his friends were walking along the corridor, but nothing else crossed his mind but Violet.
"Hey Tate! Taaaaaaaaate?" Billy waved his hand infront of his friends face. Tate turned to him, annoyed as they walked to the cafeteria
"What?"
"I saw that boner you got when the new chick walked into the room. Bow chicka wow wow! Someone's gotta crush." He grinned ear to ear
"Aww how feminine, want us to paint your nails for you so that she'll like you back?" Kieran mocked. Tate frowned
"Shut up. Both of you. I don't even like her." Biggest. Lie. Ever.
"Whatever – so Tate, I didn't smoke pot for a whole week and my mom bought me the whole Nightmare on Elm street boxset."
"What's Nightmare On Elm street?"
Billy's eyebrow rose "What? You don't know what it is? Um hello? Freddy Kruger? A child molester who killed kids."
"I didn't know your dad was in a movie!" Tate said, pretending to be shocked and smirking. Billy rolled his eyes and Kieran laughed loudly.
"So, do you want to?"
"You know I would but you also know how my mom feels about me going to your house. She thinks I'm gonna smoke something while I'm there."
Billy sighed stressfully "Fine. I'll come to your house then."
"Okay then."
"Cool!" Kieran chimed "I'll bring Aliens Vs Predator."
"Why would you want to come? There isn't going to be a free KFC all you can eat there y'know."
Tate laughed uncontrollably. Suddenly he felt someone bumped his shoulder quite hard
"Watch where you're going!" He snapped. He glanced back at the person; it was Violet. She turned slightly not all around facing him
"Sorry." He heard her say, continuing to walk away.
He stopped for a moment and just stared at her.
"Pooptash!" He heard Billy yell as he slid his finger under Tate's nose. Tate frowned and wiped his face quickly
"You're sick, you know that?"
Billy laughed "Hahahahahahha I know."
Violet Harmon
Jameela had shown her around nearly the whole school by the end of the day and she'd made it into the group of 'popular' people. All the girls seemed to enjoy her little jokes and gossip and all the boys seemed to accept her too.
"Hey Violet!" Jason, one of her new friends, yelled when he saw her. She turned
"Yeah?"
"Want a ride?" He asked flashing her a smile
Violet shook her head "Thanks but my dad's picking me up."
Just then she heard a beep that made her jump. She looked in front of her to see her dad's car already pulled up in the same place it had been this morning.
"See you later Jason!" She smiled before walking over to the car and climbing inside.
"Well, well, well. You look happy. Good day?" Her dad asked as he drove away. Violet nodded her head
"Awesome day."
Tate Langdon
7:30 pm
"No, Kieran, you can't kill me because I'm Freddy remember? I'm in your dreams!" Billy yelled as he ran forward, spearing Kieran onto the bed and pretending to rip him into pieces with his 'Freddy claws'.
Tate could not stop laughing at them from his computer seat. They'd started acting out scenes from Freddy Kruger now; scenes that involved a lot of fighting.
"No way Billy! This isn't fair!" Kieran screamed. He pushed Billy off himself and jumped up, pushing him into Tate's bookshelf.
"Watch it!" Tate laughed.
Suddenly, Kieran began to jump up and down which just made Tate laugh even more.
The door flung open and an angry Constance appeared.
"What in the devils name is going on in here?" She yelled, looking at all three of them.
"You, fatty," she snapped, pointing at Kieran "Sit down! It sounds like an earthquake from downstairs everytime you move!"
Kieran, a bit blown away, sat down nervously on Tate's bed. Constance heard it creek under his weight
"And DON'T break that bed or you'll be paying for it!"
"And you, you stoned rat, keep your damn voice down!"
Tate turned away, trying to hide his amused look. He couldn't believe he was actually laughing at this
"Sorry Mrs. Langdon." Billy said pathetically.
Constance glared at them all before slamming the door and leaving again. Tate let out all of his laughter
"You should have SEEN your faces right then! HAHAHAH!"
"Shut up, Tate!"
