Violet waited outside the school the next week for Elijah Douglas to come. As she brushed her hair back, Violet saw a car pull up and a woman leading Elijah over to the school. Violet went up to both of them.

"Hi. You must be Elijah. I'm Violet."

"Nice to meet you, and Eli will do."

"Alright. And you can call me Vi if you want; most people do."

"Well it's good you two are getting along." Said the woman, "I'll be at work if you need me."

"Okay, Mom." Said Eli.

"Here, let me take your hand." Said Violet.

"Actually it's best I hold onto your arm; it just makes things easier for me." Eli explained.

"Oh, right."

Violet held her arm out to Eli. He reached his hand over to Violet's elbow and held on. As he did, Violet couldn't help but blush a little.

"Umm, anyways, I'll show you to Algebra."
