Chapter Four
Derek looked around in the Cafeteria, all the tables were taken.
"Hey, invite him over, Vi," Tria said, pointing at him.
"I dunno," Violet said unsurely, "What if he's looking for someone?"
"Oh, come on! You know you want him to join us," Tria said.
"You call him then if you're so brave!"
"Fine, I will!" Tria waved her hand in the air, "Hey Derek, wanna join us?" she said, making her voice loud enough for him to hear.
He moved closer to them and took a seat, "Gee, thanks," he said, "What was your name?"
"Tria,"
"Hey,"
"You remember, Vi don't you?" Tria pointed at Violet, who was desperately trying to lower her head and hide it behind her drink.
"Yeah, I do, she bumped into me yesterday, and she was with you," he said.
"So, what do ya think of this school?" Tria asked.
"Well… it's okay, I mean I still don't have any friends here," he said.
"Ya don't?" Tria said.
"No," he said, "Or at least not yet,"
"Violet say something! Be polite!" Tria whispered.
"Uh… I… uh… Whatever you do, don't befriend Robert Morton," Violet blurted out. "Oh my gosh!" she put both hands on her mouth, "Did I just say that out loud?"
"Uh… what she means is Robert Morton isn't the best person to hang with," Tria said.
"Why not?"
"He's… a bit… conceited," Tria said.
"Conceited… yeah… that's the word." Violet said. She sank lower into her chair.
"Uh-huh… yeah," Derek said. He looked at the pair. "So… what do you two usually do after class?" he asked, breaking the silence.
"I-I… uh… I…" Violet stuttered
"She works at her dad's shop," Tria said before Violet could blurt out the wrong set of words.
"Well, I'm done, gotta go, bye!" Violet stood up to leave but tripped over the leg of her chair and fell to the ground. "I'm okay!" she stood up quickly, and smiled sheepishly.
"Well, see ya, bye!" she said quickly. She walked to the comfort room. "Oh, I am such an idiot!" she said. "Why do I act like that around him?" Violet asked herself.
"Aw man! He probably thinks I'm totally weird."
"I don't think he does, Vi," Tria walked in and stood beside her friend.
"I blew it, didn't I?"
"You were okay, and besides, you weren't that bad," Tria said.
Yeah, I know, not much action, but it shows just how shy and awkward Vi feels around Derek. And this is also probably my shortest chapter. (And I'm having writer's block again)
