Chapter 6: Good News?

Violet looked dreamily up the fungus-covered ceiling at the Orphan Shack. Even though it was a bit disgusting, she didn't mind, because today she felt different. It was as if someone had whisked away one of her problems. Violet picked up the red rose on top of her stomach and held it up to her nose. And that person was…

"Yo Violet!"

…Victor. Violet sprang up as soon as she heard his voice. He was standing by the door with Klaus and Sunny standing behind him, looking all exasperated and curious.

"Hey!" Violet stood up and tucked the rose inside her pocket. She skipped over to the door and greeted Victor. He was leaning back at the wall and was wearing a dark blue sweater and jeans. His dark brown hair was being blown with the wind. His grey eyes twinkled at the sight of Violet.

"So hey how are you?" he asked stepping up in front of Violet. He ran his fingers through his hair and smiled at her. Violet felt nervous all of sudden when Victor had smiled at her. She looked over at her two siblings and saw them glaring at Victor.

"Well, uh, I'm fine as usual. You?" Violet replied with a nervous tone. Victor smiled again. "Same here of course since you're the first person I saw today." he replied. Violet blushed. It was the first someone had told her something like that, especially at a time like this.

"Okay that would be enough." Klaus suddenly said. Violet frowned and glared over at him. "Can we go now 'because I'm really getting hungry."

"Plottna." Sunny also said, which meant she agreed with Klaus. Victor shrugged and said, "Whatever you guys say." Violet nod her head in agreement and followed the two, who was way ahead of her. Victor, on the other hand, stepped up beside her and walked all the way to the cafeteria with her.

"Don't worry, I'll be here to keep you company."      

*************************************

Duncan looked up.

Klaus and Sunny had entered the cafeteria and soon rushed to line up. Violet wasn't with them. Duncan was about to look back down on his plate when she entered, but not alone. She was with Victor. Again.

Duncan angrily poked the tip of his fork at the surface of his plate and did this all over again, it attempt to pick up the piece of meat he had sliced earlier. Isadora looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Duncan muttered. He finally poked the meat and placed it in his mouth. He chewed it vigorously and glared over at the two, who was now on line, waiting to be served. Isadora looked at where he was glaring at and saw Violet… with her secret admirer, Victor.

"Oh come on don't tell me your jealous." Isadora snorted and went back eating. "Unless you like Violet." Duncan looked over at Isadora and back at his plate.

"Of course I don't." Duncan mumbled. He leaned his head over his closed fist with his elbow on top of the table. It was hard for him every time he denied he liked Violet.

"Hey guys!"

Duncan looked up. Violet was standing in front of him while his two siblings immediately sat down. Soon the three—Duncan, Isadora and Sunny—were busy talking with each other.

"Can we sit here?" Violet asked, looking back at Duncan. "Uh, sure." Duncan replied, picking up the books lying across the table. Violet sat down and slid across the bench, as if making a space for someone to sit on. Duncan gave a confused look at Violet.

"Oh by the way, Victor is sitting with us today. He just told his friends." Violet smiled at Duncan and started slicing her meat.

Victor. Duncan thought. Ooooohhhh how I hate that name.

After a few minutes, Victor finally came. He sat beside Violet and started talking to her. Violet, on the other hand, was oblivious of her surroundings and seems preoccupied with talking. Duncan now knew the feeling of being alone. No one there to talk to and laugh with. Well, not until…

"Victor?"

*************************************

Violet stopped.

There behind Victor was a girl. Not just a girl. A really pretty girl. She had long, dark brown hair which fell behind her shoulders and her grey eyes twinkled…just like Victor…

"There you are!" she said. "Oh for pete's sake I've been looking for you!"

"Didn't the guys tell you? I'm eating with Violet here." Victor replied.

So he knows this girl???? Violet thought. Uh-oh.

"Who???" she asked, with an annoyed tone in her voice. "Violet." Victor repeated impatiently. He looked over at Violet and saw that she was looking back suspiciously at the girl.

"Oh I'm sorry." Victor said. "I forgot. Uh, Violet this is…"

"Isabella." the girl finished for him. "Victor Viloria's…"

Violet held her breath.

"…sister."

Phew. Violet gave a sigh of relief and looked back at the girl. She was looking back at her with one of her eyebrows raised.

"And Isabella this is Violet, a friend of mine." Victor added. "Hi nice to meet you." Violet said while nodding her head. "Pleasure." Isabella said in a cold voice. "Anyway, since you're here I may as well sit here too. Move."

Violet moved once more when Victor asked her to move jus a bit. She looked over at Isabella and saw her gaping when she saw Duncan.

"Well, well! And who may this lovely lad sitting in front of me be?" Isabella said. She flipped her hair back with her hand and smiled over at Duncan, who looked gloomily back at her.

Duncan! Violet thought. I forgot all about him!

"Duncan." Duncan muttered. "Duncan Quagmire." "Duncan! What a nice name!" Isabella said. Isadora caught her attention. "And she is?" she asked with her cold voice again.

"Who me?" Isadora said, turning around. "I would be Duncan's sister thank you very much." Isabella looked embarrassed, but hid it soon by covering it up with her equally annoying attitude.

"By the way, have you guys heard of the dance Prufrock Prep is holding next week?" Isabella asked. She looked over at Duncan and said, "Have you Duncan?" He immediately shook his head and went on eating. "No we haven't." Klaus suddenly said from beside Violet. "There is one?"  Isabella looked back at him with an annoyed expression.

"I wasn't talking to you…" she paused. "…whoever you are. I was talking to my brother." Victor nudged her at the side and glared at her. "Uh, that would be Klaus." Klaus said. It was obvious he didn't like this girl, and Sunny too because as soon as the girl sat with them, she was already glaring at her.

"Whatever." Isabella said. "So you guys wanna see it?"

"See what?" Victor asked.

"The poster for the dance! Duh."

Isabella stood up and pulled Victor with her. Violet then followed, having no choice and Duncan trailed behind her because she had pulled her too.

"Hey no fair! Wait for us!"  

*************************************

Duncan looked at the wall with great disbelief.

Stuck to it was a poster with a green and grey background and big fat words written across it.

ANNUAL DIVERSITY DANCE

When: next Saturday

Where: Prufrock Prepatory back lawn

Time: 7:00 pm sharp

Attire: anything. Just attend.

Below, in small fonts, were words so hard to read that almost everyone who saw the poster didn't get a chance to read it. it was a message from Nero.

This dance only happens every after 10

years in history so be sure to go. It is very

hard to hold a dance like this so anyone not

seen there would be considered an absentee

and would face certain consequences. And

besides, the ADMINISTRATOR would be

there and that's the main reason for this

darn dance.

"The Administrator???" Isadora asked. "Prufrock Prep has an administrator???" "Get off it Quagmire girl. It's as if it's your first time to hear it." Isabella blared. Isadora glared at her and crossed her arms across her chest.

Duncan looked at the girl and shook her head.

"A dance…" Violet mumbled. "…How…different."

"Yeah." Duncan said, finally catching a chance to talk to Violet. "I haven't heard something like this from Prufrock's history." Duncan paused. Violet was looking up and down at the poster as if not believing what was in front of her.

"So, uhm, Violet." Duncan said. "Would you…"

But Duncan was cut off when Isabella stepped in front of her and said, "So Duncan are you free that night?"

Duncan looked back at her with utter disbelief. Soon it all happened in a flash. His attention was caught between Isabella's hands that he didn't notice Victor pulling Violet by the hand and asking her something. He only realized it upon hearing the words Victor asked.

"So Violet! Would you like to go with me?"
