X Bare with me here! X
Violet must have dosed off, the TV was still on and she heard a conversation going on behind her. It was two male voices, it must be Logan and Duncan. She began to listen.
"So she's Veronica's younger sister?" Logan asked. "Yeah, and she might be mine too." Duncan replied rather emotionlessly. "Dude that's pretty messed up. Some people just don't learn." Violet turned her head so that she could see them talking. Duncan's facial expression was hard to read and Logan seemed to be amused but his amusement quickly turned into concern for his friend.
After a pause between them Logan broke the silence with a random thought. "That must have been why she was upset." He had remembered seeing an upset Veronica fleeing their hotel. Duncan looked at him confused "What?". Logan came back to reality "I saw her leave the Grand's entrance." He said. Duncan nodded, "Well I'm going to bed for the second time. Good night." He said turning away from Logan. Violet could see he'd been crying now because of the reflection of light off his puffy eyes and wet cheeks. Logan had a sincere look in his eyes, "Hey man, I'm sorry." He said to Duncan before he touched his bedroom door. He turned his head to Logan "Thanks." He said and walked into his bedroom closing his doors behind him. Logan looked down at Violet who had closed her eyes. "So that's why you reminded me… of them." He said to her "sleeping" body. He turned and went to his room accidentally leaving the door open a crack.
So, Violet thought, now that he know what does this mean for me? And by them I assume he meant Veronica but whom else? She wasn't quite sure of anything here in Neptune being that she knew nothing about it. She also knew nothing about Lilly. She wondered what was going to happen to her now as she slipped back into her restless sleep.
X That Morning X
That morning Violet woke up before Duncan and Logan. She looked to both of the doors and then she pulled her large navy blue backpack onto her lap. Lianne sent her a Christmas and Birthday gift every year this was last years Christmas gift. She undid the clips and opened the bag. In the bag were the contents she chose to take, the bag was big so there was plenty of room for things. In it there was a picture of Lianne and Veronica that she got from when Veronica was a freshman in high school for Christmas with a unicorn jewelry box, Veronica had changed considerably since then, a bundle of clothes, two three subject notebooks and a few random items. Violet pulled out underwear, a blue long sleeved v-neck shirt and a distressed mini-ish skirt. This weather was like spring where she came from. She hadn't told Veronica or the others that she is currently enrolled at Neptune High School. Go Pirates! She had no idea what school would be like here in Neptune.
She thought for a moment about a shower, she had taken one in the cheesy motel room that Lianne was staying in yesterday. She decided that she would ask Veronica about taking one after school. She quickly changed from her plaid pajamas into her underwear, shirt and skirt. She slid on her socks and just below the knee chocolate suede and faux fur boots.
She grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels to find a Buffy the Vampire Slayer rerun on FX. "Good morning." She was surprised to hear Duncan's voice behind her. "Oh, good morning to you too." Duncan pulled his backpack onto his back. "What are you going to do today?" he asked looking threw a few papers he had brought with him from his room. "I was hoping you could give me a ride to school." Duncan looked at her with a confused look "I didn't know you were going to school with us." Violet shrugged. "Did I not mention that?" she still waited to know if he could drive her. "Um, well sure if you need. I'm going to pick up something for breakfast on the way." Logan emerged from. "Good morning sunshine!" He said to Duncan. He gave Violet an acknowledging nod, which she returned. She stood and turned off the television with the remote. She tossed it back on the coach. "Alright then, I'm ready when you are." She heaved the bag onto her back. "See you later Logan" Duncan said as he left, Violet trailing close behind.
The whole time he looked at her he couldn't help but compare her to Lilly but mostly Veronica. Veronica, the girl he had loved after he lost his Lilly. He looked down, with sad and angry eyes, to the floor. Why can't I just get over her? She doesn't love me and maybe she never did. He thought.
X Wallace X
Wallace walked into the kitchen of his home, as usual Alicia was making breakfast and Darrell was sitting at the table waiting. He had confronted his mom about keeping secrets from him and the fact he was back didn't mean everything was ok between them. He had to come back not only for school but the e-mails from Veronica told him he had to come back, he couldn't be another person who let her down like most of the other people she loved.
Alicia gave him a kind smile when she noticed him standing in the kitchen. "Hey, you want some?" she asked pointing to the eggs she had made for them. Wallace looked at her and shook his head "Nah, I got a test I got to make up early this morning. But I will take a piece of toast." He said as he walked over to a plate with 5 still warm toasted slices of white bread. "Alright then, have a nice day." She said as he walked out the door a piece of toast in hand.
X Veronica X
That morning Veronica noticed Keith was unusually chipper or was it
just the fact that she was miserable that made it seem that way. "Hey honey, sleep well?" he asked. Veronica put on her usual fascad of happiness and smiled at her father. "Yeah like a baby with colic, you?" she asked picking up a bagel he had put cream cheese on for her. "I slept well." He said nodding at her. "Well I have to go, see you later." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek and walked out to her Le Barone. She slid into the driver's seat and started the car. She put her elbows on the steering wheel and held her head. When would life ever be simple? She thought. She lifter her head and put her hands on the steering wheel. Time to face the world Veronica.
X Violet X
The ride she had gotten from Duncan was sufficiently awkward. They had stopped at a coffee shop where he had gotten him and her cinnamon buns and a coffee for himself. When Violet arrived at the school she noticed immediate differences to schools where she came from. Their lunch tables are outside, the school was long and spread out, and all the kids either seemed to have lots of expensive cars and clothes among many other things or the normal necessities. Violet undid her seatbelt and hopped out of his car.
"I guess you'll need to go to the main office." He said walking in front of her. Violet walked quickly behind him. They entered the building to find a swarm of people and bright yellow lockers with stickers plastered all over them. Neptune fascinated Violet. He held the door to the main office open for her. "I'll drop you off here, they should tell you what to do." He said leaving her behind.
Violet looked around to the secretaries and walked up to the desk. "Hello, excuse me?" She said getting the attention of one with bright white hair. "Yes." She said irritated. "Hi, I'm Violet Mars. A new student." The woman took a packet of pale green paper and handed it to her. "This has your classes and supply lists. It also has optional clubs and programs you can join etc, etc. And threw there you must go see Principal Van Clemmons to tell him you arrived." Violet nodded and headed off the door that said "Principal Van Clemmons". She knocked and heard a muffled "Come in." and stepped into the small office. "Can I help you?" he asked. Violet sat down in the chair across from him. "Yes I'm Violet Mars. I was told to come in here." She said with an angelic smile. "Oh, yes you're the new student. Well all I have for you is this sheet which will tell the rules here in my school and a warm welcome." He handed her a pale pink sheet this time. Oh, the variety of colors. She thought standing up. "Thank you." She said and left.
As she walked amongst her classmates she flipped through the packet to find her locker. The packet stated that all textbooks were already placed in her locker. When she found the locker it was thankfully a top locker, which had one sticker on it that said Roxy written in blue. She carefully entered her combination and lifted the lock. She opened her locker to a few small textbooks. She looked at the schedule they had given her and took the textbooks she needed. Lianne had bought her two notebooks for school. She closed it and studied her classes and their rooms. She walked outside and sat down at one of the red lunch tables. It had the standard math, science, and English just like all schools.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Violet looked up to find a confused Veronica. "Lianne kind of transferred me to here." She said pushing the papers over to the opposite side of the table. Veronica sat down looking at them. "Huh… just about the same as last year." She said handing them back. "Yeah." Veronica looked at Violet seriously. "Why… Why did she keep me? But give you up?" Veronica had fallen to sleep last night asking herself that very question. Violet looked away. "I don't mean it that way it's just… I don't get it." She was trying to rephrase it but it sounded better in her head. Violet looked at her with pained eyes. "She said it was because she loved you… but also Celeste was involved. She told her that she wasn't having another dirty brat running around Neptune. She gave her money and a threat." She answered the question that she knew was coming. Though she knew that wasn't much of an answer, it was all she knew.
"Oh." Veronica pushed her canvas bag further up her shoulder. "I have to go to my locker." She got up and walked away with a fast pace. Violet lifted her bag and walked away in the opposite direction. If this is before school what's during? She thought.
X Veronica X
As she approached her locker she was happy to see the familiar sight of Wallace leaning against his locker. "Still got to get used to you being around again." She said opening her locker. "Sorry to disappoint but the invisible man thing just wasn't working." He looked to his left and their Jackie walked down the hall. She looked at him and caught his eyes with a pitiful sadness. He looked away quickly. As she passed she gave Veronica a dirty look. Veronica rolled her eyes but then remembered Wallace. "You ok?" she asked looking sympathetic. "Yeah I guess." He said as he began to walk with Veronica. "Oh I forgot to tell you, that girl Violet just started going here." "Oh, I'll just have to meet her then.
X Logan X
Veronica has a sister and she might be Lilly's too. Logan hadn't quite got that off his mind. He was standing by his locker staring off into space. Dick walked up to him with a huge grin on his face. "Dude, that party was rockin'!" Dick yelled in his special jack ass way. "So many hot girls, so little time." Logan guessed that he hadn't noticed Logan leave before the party set sail. "Yeah." Logan responded. "What's up with you man?" Dick asked. Logan snapped out of his zone and turned his attention to Dick. "Nothing, why you want to share feelings?" he asked trying to get back his cool demeanor. "I definitely shared a few feelings with her." He said pointing to some skimpily dressed girl complete with a cropped shirt, mini skirt and red pumps. "That lucky girl."
Duncan walked up to them and noticed that they were staring at some poor girl. "Hey try and put your tongues back in your mouths."
"Man, you missed one amazing of a fiesta!" He said turning his attention away from the girl. "How was the hang over?" Duncan asked. "Hell, but that just says it was a great party!" Duncan rolled his eyes, Dick is such a… dick.
X Violet X
Violet sat down in her first period class. Attendance was about to be taken. She wasn't sure what the Mars name would bring. "Mars, Violet?" the teacher yelled. Violet rose her hand "Here." She called out. And like magic a buzz came about the room. "Mars? Are they related?" said a few random girls. She also heard a few I was tolds, Did you hears and a few new girls thrown around. Violet let a smirk creep across her face as the teacher tried to regain power over the class, but it didn't look like she was getting anywhere. I guess this is why I was asked to be vague. It seems Veronica's pretty well known. She thought as the eyes of her classmates began looking her over. She then heard the two girls next to her begin a conversation. "Wait I don't get it what's so special about the name Mars?" asked one of them. "Oh it's Veronica, she was the girl involved with that girl Lilly's murder case thing. She's the one who accused Aaron Echolls of the crime." The other responded. "Oh the one everyone seems to talk about. She was the one who's been with Duncan Kane and Logan Echolls, right?" "Yeah that's her. And her dad used to be sheriff." Violet looked over at them confused. First who is Lilly and did I just hear about a love triangle? Violet had a few questions to ask her… sister.
