THE NEXT MORNING, Miss. Lane's Art classroom, the Benton Gang and I, and with other high schoolers, are sitting at our desks, doing our Art exams.
Jonny glances at me. And I glance at him. He and I exchange small smiles at each other and we resume our exams.
Violet (VO) Perhaps, Jonny was right, there is still some romantic hopes for me and him. But I can't think about that. Not right now anyway.

In Miss. Sanchez's Science class, the guys and I are taking our science exams.
The intercom switches on. "Miss. Sanchez? Principal Bennett would like to see Violanthe Benton in her office, please?"
"Ooh, you're in trouble, Violet." Matt said, playfully.
"Hush up, Matty-Matt." I said, finishing up my Science exam, and getting up, and walking away.
a minute after...
In Principal Miss. Bennett's principal's office, I'm sitting in a sofa chair in front of her desk.
"With senior prom coming up and graduation afterwards, I would like for you to do a graduation speech." Principal Miss. Bennett said.
"Okay. Can I do a short one?" I asked.
"Of course, and as you may know, with your homeschooling, your grades are excellent." Principal Miss. Bennett said.
"Yes, ma'am, and thank you." I said.

SCHOOL GYM
Afterwards, I'm looking around at the college booths. Gosh. There are some college booths to check out.
"Hey, Violet." Jonny said, slowly approaching me. "So, have you decided what college you're gonna attend?"
"Hmm? Not yet." I said. "What about you?" I asked him.
"Dalton University." Jonny said.
I look at Jonny, surprisingly. "Really?Congratulations."
"Thanks." Jonny said, and becomes worried. "And are you okay? You know, with the convulsion?"
"Yeah. I'm fine." I said, reassuring him with a small smile. "By the way, Principal Miss. Bennett asked me to do a graduation speech, but I'm gonna keep it short."
"Can't wait to hear it." Jonny said with a smile.
Jonny and I exchange smiles at each other.

BENTON HOME
That evening, in the living room, I'm sitting on the three seat sofa, looking at some college applications.
Boni slowly approaches me, holding two purple prom dresses in her hands. "Okay, strapless or strap?"
I don't look at her, eyeing at the college applications. She sits down beside me and looks at me.
"You worried about college, aren't you?" Boni asked me.
"Maybe. With prom coming up at school, and then, graduation. I've haven't been thinking about college." I said to Boni.

"I get it. You're worried about leaving me, Mom and Dad here while you go off to college. But we're gonna be fine, Violet. There's nothing to worry about, Little Bit." Boni reassures me with a small smile.
I smile a little. And Boni gets back up to her feet and shows me the two prom dresses again.
"So, strapless? Or strap?" She asked me.
"Strap." I said.
"Okay." She says, and walks away.
Violet (VO) Gosh. High school can be a pain in the butt. Sometimes, you ponder about what happens after high school, right?
✧✧✧
That same evening, in my bedroom, I had fallen asleep. And then, I hear a noise from downstairs in the living room.
I sit up straight, frantically. My nightstand lamplight turns on by itself. But the bulb is red.
Violet (VO) Okay. Creepy.
I slowly gets up and slowly walks up to my bedroom door and slowly opens it. I slowly walks into the empty darkened hallway.
The hallway lamp turns on, and the bulb is red too. Just like my nightstand lamplight bulb was red.
The hallway lamp flickers on and off, making Boni and Me confused.
"Violet, what the hell's going on?" Boni asked me.
"I don't know." I said to her, not knowing myself.
