-VIOLETS POV-

I stood infront of my mirror, not that I cared about what anybody else saw me as.. I just needed to make sure I looked okay. I kept finding myself wanting to please that asshole neighbour of mine.

I nodded and smiled at my choice of outfit for the day, its outdated but its fucking cool in my eyes. *Outfit she wore when she overdosed in Piggy Piggy*

'Violet honey?' I heard my mom knock on the door.

'Yeah mom?' I replied, spinning away from the mirror.. I didn't want her to get her hopes up of me maybe.. MAYBE caring about looks and all that shit, she'd fucking throw a party in my honor.

'The Langdon kid is waiting outside, he said something about a lift to school? thats awfully sweet' She smiled, hugging the door frame.

'Thanks Mom, yeah he offered so I accepted. Free rides or whatever' I smirked, grabbing my satchel from the foot of my bed and walking to the door.

My mom stood in the middle, just enough so I couldn't get out of my own room.. what was she doing?

'Hes cute right?' She grinned

I found myself blushing. 'Yeah, hes cute.' I scoffed, pushing past her. I don't think she understood the sarcasm but she didn't have to; Her head was probably clouded with images of our fucking love child.

'Hey Violet' Tate sang as I ran down to the gates.

'Tate' I nodded my head, scooting past him and into the car. I didn't want to talk to him, I felt like whatever I said could be used against me.. now that he knew.

'I thought I was meeting you outside your house.. 7.40 sharp!' I imitated, burrowing my brows.

He chuckled. 'Yeah but I couldn't wait, I was already ready. You look nice' He smiled as he looked me up and down.

I blushed. 'Just fucking drive' I scoffed, putting in my earphones, ready to block out the world.

~10 minutes of silence~

I pulled out my earphones, leaving Hole playing as Tate pulled up to the school.

I sighed, I couldn't be bothered with today.. I just wanted to skip for the day, maybe go to the beach..anything. I looked Tate up and down eagerly but within a couple of seconds I shook my head. Nah, he doesn't look like one to skip.

'Violet can we hang out at lunch today?' Tate asked, holding my wrist to delay my getting out of the car.

'I dont know, can we? You'd probably already be following me around' I smirked, pulling my wrist from his grip and slamming the car door behind me.

I noticed Tate shaking his head and chuckling as he closed his door behind him. 'You're a tough cookie Violet' He smiled, walking besides me towards American Literature.

I found myself laughing at his remark. 'I may be tough, but I'm no cookie' I replied, walking into the classroom. I felt giddy inside, as if this was some sort of game.. was it?

'Settle down class!' yelled as we took our seats. 'Ahh ! What a pleasure to actually have you here on time! I can see befriending has done you some good' He pressed on, winking in my direction.

God what was it with adults finding me and Tate so fucking.. fucking.. I dont know.. compatible!?

'Why thankyou Mr.C! Violet sure is cool' Tate sang back, causing the whole class to go 'ooooooooooooooo'

'Oh calm down on the romance ! This classroom, as warming as it may seem, is not the place' exclaimed sarcastically, closing the classroom door as he spoke.

I dont get the stupid rules in this place. If the door of the classroom is closed its supposed to mean nobody else can enter but the faculty members, what kind of shitty rule is that? and why was Tate allowed to break it all the fucking time?

'Class, I'm going to pair you up for an assignment today..' He spoke aloud.

Suddenly the whole class started to chatter and scrape back their seats; it was like I was in some sort of zoo.

'Ah ah ah! Not so quick my peasants!' laughed manically, rubbing his hands together. This guy was cool, for a teacher I mean. He wasn't as stuck up as others.. like my linguistics teacher Mrs fucking Prince. 'I have already created some pairs, whether you like it or not, you're all going to have to get to know your classmates!' He exclaimed.

'Kevin, You will be with Chloe' He started. He got through about 5 other pairs before coming down to the last two pairs.. Me and Tate hadn't been called yet. I looked over at Tate, he was grinning like the cheshire fucking cat; I hate to say it, but it was adorable.

'Now Tate and Violet; I had originally paired you two together..'

'Alright!' I heard Tate cheer, causing me to go red in the cheeks.

scoffed and continued to finish his sentence. 'As I was saying; I HAD originally paired you two together but I don't want my class to be the reason Violet could end up being uh, knocked up. As you kids call it' He laughed to himself. 'So. Violet you are with Mason and Tate, you're with Stephanie.'

I didn't think this would happen, but I actually felt disappointed.

I grabbed my things from under my desk and dragged my feet to Mason's table. I've never spoken to anybody in this class other than Tate; I'm very much introverted so I don't know how I'm supposed to do these kinds of things. He looked cool though, quite attractive If I can say so myself.. Hes a grunge kid, I could tell. He had shaggy brown hair and the darkest brown eyes, He had a low v neck shirt on with dog tags hanging from his neck and black skinny jeans paired with some black all stars, old and worn like mine. I eyed his dark flannel shirt he had on, I wanted it, I wanted it bad. I kinda appreciated that he was socially grunge, he didn't need to hide it.. although Tate did.

'Sup, I'm Violet' I huffed, dropping into a nearby chair.

'Mason' He smirked. He had the cutest fucking smile ever, his lip curled up like an orange peel and he had the biggest dimples.

I guess I was staring for a while because he said something, again. 'I like your style' He commented, looking me up and down.

I smiled. 'Why thankyou Mason' I chuckled.

I felt eyes burning into the back of my head, practically fucking boring into my skull; I spun around. Tate was staring at me, I knew the girl he was working with, She was called Stephanie Boggs, she'd approached me in the hallway once to ask me where I got my accessories or some shit.

I instantly turned back around to see Mason looking at Tate.

'You know him?' He asked, bringing his attention back to me.

'Yeah, he's my neighbour' I scoffed, pulling out a pad and pencil.

'Alrighty then' He laughs. Within a split second I watched him grab my pad from my grib.

'Hey!' I exclaimed

'These are pretty cool, I love the Kurt and Courtney drawings' He complimented, flipping through page after page.

'Thanks' I smiled, pulling the pad back.

'I like Nirvana too, and Hole; although I definitely think Courtney stole a few of Kurt's unpublished songs. You can just tell y'know?' He picked up.

'Oh god, definitely!' I exclaimed, excited to be talking to somebody who for one, didn't know my secret so I didn't have a reason to be afraid.

He laughed at my enthusiasm. 'You know, You should listen to Morrissey' He suggested

I scoffed, although I guess he didn't know me that well..yet. 'Morrissey is the fucking shit, I love him' I announced.

'Well well.. You are an interesting girl Violet Harmon' He winked, sitting upright in his seat.

'How'd you know my last name?' I questioned, eager for our conversation to continue.

'Your pad, It had your name on the inside cover' He responded.

'Ahh' I smiled to myself, looking at my feet.. I didn't know how to continue this conversation.. I was never any good at socialising.

'Violet?' I heard him choke up, he sounded nervous.

'Mason' I replied sarcastically, causing him to laugh. He was so cute..

'Do you think, You could perhaps accompany me to a soiree tonight?' He asked politely, winking at me whilst taking a drink from his water bottle.. and to pull the whole posh act off, he even lifted his little fucking finger whilst doing it. I couldn't help but laugh at how cheesy he was being, it was so fucking adorable.

'Soiree?' I questioned, raising an eyebrow.

He threw his empty water bottle into the bin nearby and turned back to me. 'Oh you know.. a shindig, a bash, a riot, a blowout..' He dragged on

'So a party?' I laughed, a little too loudly.

'Yeah, a party' He grinned.

'I would love to Mason' I responded.

-TATES POV-

I watched Violet drag herself closer towards me, but instead to that Mason kid at the back of the classroom. God that sucks! I thought Mr.C would've been cool about it, I even showed up to class on time for gods sake!

Stephanie sat down beside me, or so I think she just did, she could've been there for 5 minutes or 10 for all I care.. I just wanted to be paired with Violet, I couldn't even take my eyes off of the two until Stephanie spoke up.

'So uh, are you dating anyone? Like that Violet girl?' I heard Stephanie question

I turned to look at her. 'I'm not dating her' I hissed.

She instantly recoiled. 'Jeesh, don't bite my fucking head off'

'I'm sorry Stephanie, Or Steph.. whatever.. I'm just not in the best mood right now' I responded. I really was sorry for snapping at her like that, I've never spoken to her before, I guess she was only trying to be friendly.

I turned my attention back to Violet and Mason.. They were clearly flirting, which fucking pissed me off. Why couldn't she act like that around me? what the fuck has he got that I haven't?! I felt anger raise inside of my body and I knew what that meant. I could snap at any second. And I fucking felt like it when I heard him ask her to the big party tonight.. Who the fuck did he think he was?! Violet was supposed to be my girl, not his. And to make matters worse, She fucking said yes. What the fuck?!

I was planning on inviting her tonight as my plus one.. I was going to ask her, I was actually going to put myself out there and ask her when I drove her home. Ugh god! Screw for not pairing us together! If I could, I'd fucking put him in a wheelchair right about now.

I snapped my head back around to look at Stephanie. 'Stephanie, come to a party with me tonight?' I questioned, putting on my charm.

'You mean the party Mason asked Violet to? like literally a second ago?' She responded

'Yeah, coincidentally' I scoffed. She wasn't about to turn me down was she? Fucking hell that'd make me look lame. I mean, I'm probably already going to get shit from my track mates for asking the goth to the party in the first place, but this wasn't about them, or Stephanie; as harsh as that may be.. its for her.

'Ofcourse!' She squealed, pulling me into a big hug.

I chuckled and patted her back for a few seconds before pulling away.

'Awesome, I'll pick you up at 7' I smiled, jumping out of my chair.

I knew it was mean to leave Stephanie to do the assignment on her own, but I wasn't sticking around in this class if I had to watch Mason flirt with my girl.. I'd get back at him eventually.

' , where do you think you're going?' I heard Mr.C question as I reached the door.

My eyes travelled over to Violet's, who were already attached to me. I shuddered at the eye contact.. She was everything I needed, Why couldn't I be the same for her?

'Out' I hissed, my eyes never leaving Violet's before I slammed the door behind me.
