Tangled in Tension.

Chapter 18.

2 days passed and i made sure to keep my distance from everyone. I'd go to my classes but leave the school for lunch. Any classes i had with the group, they always tried to talk to me, ask what was going on but i ignored them. They tried talking to me when they seen me in the corridors, pleading with me to talk but i never said anything. Same with Clementine. She'd always plead with me to tell her what was going on, sometimes even grab my arm but i always just shook it off and kept walking, leaving her confused and upset. But it was better than snapping at her. They hung out at my dorm too after school, waiting for me to come but again, i ignored them. I just waited until i knew they had left to go to my dorm. I was distancing myself and i hated doing that just when i had finally made some sort of a relationship with them again but it was the best thing to do. I could manage on my own. This day, it was a friday and i wasn't going to my last class. Something about the teacher had to leave early or something, i didn't know nor did i care, but i did know i could go to my dorm early which suited me.

As i walking down the corridor my dorm was along though, i saw someone i did not want to see. Even if she told me the truth, or bullshit. I still hadn't confronted Clementine to know, but i was still just as angry.

"That face of yours could turn milk." Emily smiled, enjoying the whole situation.

I took a breath, steadying myself as i got closer to my dorm.

"You talked to her yet? Have you and your little girlfriend broken up now?" She chuckled, walking up behind me while i stood at my dorm door but her words completely threw me over the edge.

I spun around, grabbing her by the scruff of her collar and pushing her against the wall. "Would you ever shut the fuck up!?"

Her eyes widened for a brief moment before she laughed. "Look at you, acting all tough. Must be hard when your girlfriends playing you."

My grip tightened around her collar, pressing down on her as i felt my blood boiling. "Fuck you, you're just stirring shit up for your own enjoyment."

"Maybe, but it's working, from what i can see anyway." She grinned, leaning in closer. "Face it Vi, she's playing you. You're just too stupid to see it."

My fists clenched hard around her collar, almost ripping the fabric while i felt the urge to hit her. But before i could act, she pushed me back, hard, causing me to stumble. "What're you gonna do about it, huh?" She taunted, taking a step foward, closer to me.

The push and her words pushed me even further. I lunged foward, landing a punch on her jaw just as both of us heard a raised voice call out.

"Violet Adlon!" Both of us turned, seeing Mr. Harris storming towards us with a pissed look on his face while Emily stumbled back, clutching her jaw with a smirk playing on her lips as she stared at me.

"She hit me sir." Emily groaned, putting on her best act.

I didn't bother to argue. I knew i was already caught. Nothing i could say would help and minutes later, i was being hauled down the corridor with Harris's hand wrapped around my arm. I thought nothing of it, i'd be given detention or whatever but when the bell rang, indicating school was finally over, i knew they'd see me and i wasn't wrong. As Harris was pulling me up the main corridor in the school, towards Ericsons office, i saw them. Brody, Louis, Sophie and Clementine, all stood by the lockers with serious looks on their faces. Marlon was most likely on his way to football practice, probably why he wasn't there with them. They didn't notice me at first, but Clementine was the first to notice me. A confused and worried look formed on her face as she stared at me being hauled down the corridor. The group caught onto her facial expression and quickly looked too, all of their faces dropping into worry and confusion when they saw me, until Louis stepped infront of Mr. Harris.
