Violet saw him minutes before he saw her. That gave her time to get it together so she could appear as nonchalant as possible when he reached their table. She just prayed that one of the idiots that she was with would not make a scene by doing something stupid like mentioning John B, which she knew would piss JJ off.
Topper was sitting in the chair next to her, Bianca was sitting on the other side of the table and Kelce was next to her. They were a weird group. Usually, when they would go out, there would be a bunch of people with them, but this time it felt like their table was empty. Maybe it was the fact she missed Sarah talking since, most of the time, where one of them went the other followed.
"It is actually so cute that you guys invited us." Bianca gushed, but Violet barely listened to a word coming out of her mouth because she was too focused on somebody else. Her eyes followed JJ who was walking to the backroom. Two minutes later, he walked out in his uniform and that was when he took a look around the restaurant and laid his eyes on her.
Violet's breath hitched and she watched surprise flash across his face. She gave him a wave (which none of her friends noticed since nobody was looking at her) and the fact that she was acknowledging his existence made him swallow. He looked at her for a couple more seconds but then broke eye contact to talk to one of his co-workers.
She sighed softly ─ which made Topper look at her curiously ─ and looked around the restaurant. It seemed that for the past few weeks, everywhere she went people were talking about Sarah or John B. They had their theories and liked to pretend that they knew what they were talking about.
"I guess that John B got what was coming to him, and it even saved him the expense of a trial." Bianca stated bluntly. Her words made Violet instantly tune back into the conversation. Bianca saw the glare she sent her and shrugged. "I'm just saying that John B's going to hell for what he did to Sheriff Peterkin."
Violet scoffed and opened her mouth to snap at her just when JJ reached their table and started pouring water into their glasses. Topper shifted awkwardly and said, "Guys, they're still investigating."
"Yeah, I don't know why. It's obvious who did it."
"And we all know that you are just the smartest of us all, so of course you would be right." Violet snapped in annoyance. Bianca shook her head and stayed quiet. The girl failed freshman year and fit the stereotype of a dumb blonde perfectly. She always talked without even thinking about what was coming out of her mouth.
Violet looked away from Bianca and her glare softened immediately when her eyes fell on JJ. Despite his best attempts to avoid looking at her, he met her gaze. Wordlessly and with a clenched jaw, he turned on his heel so he could walk away, but Kelce's words made him stop.
