The Stars that bind us

The secrets that bind us

The bell rang and everyone burst out of the room like bubbles popping. I walked out of the room with Lys and made my way to the bus I was supposed to take home, both of us chatting about something random.

"Can I ask you something?"

"You just did." Lys stated the obvious.

I rolled my eyes.

"What's your zodiac?"

"Leo. Why?"

"No reason, just wondering."

"What's yours?"

"Aries."

We continued to speak of random things like why I moved to such a small town and whatnot.

When I asked why Lys didn't care what others thought of her, she simply flipped her hair sassily and said she was to fabulous for idiot who would judge her.

She is definitely a Leo.

*~*~*~*

"So what do you think of the school?" Red asked while we walked to art.

"It's definitely something different..."

"Oh! I almost forgot! Violet had mentioned you had met Jackson. Sorry about him, he's a prick sometimes."

"It's fine, Violet handled it pretty well actually." I remembered how Violet had acted like it was just another day at school.
"She's alway pulling Jackson out of the way of the Truck of Trouble, the guy would probably be in jail if it weren't for her."
"What could he have done to get himself in jail!? We're Sophomores!"
"Let's just say he did a lot of twisted shit." A voice said from behind the two of us and the purple haired girl fell into step with us.
"O-oh! Hey Violet!" I said to the Gemini.
"Hey losers."
We continued walking to the Art building and we parted ways, Violet going to Choir and Red and myself going to Art.
*~*~*~*
Violet was humming something as she sat down at the table with her tray.
"What's with you V? You're... Acting not like yourself." Lys said to the smiling purple haired girl. Violet promptly smacked Lys upside her head.
"What? Are you mad 'cause I'm more fabulous than you?" Violet said while smirking at the now fuming ravenette.
"Oh God..." Red said while rubbing her head.
"Why you little... I'll have you know I'm far more fabulous than you ever will be!"
"You wish!"
The two began to argue for the next five minutes while me and Red just stared at them while we ate our pizza. The two had stopped fighting by the time we threw away our trays and had arrived back at the table, and were now speaking to Jackson, whom was flirting with Violet. Red and I stared in disbelief as Jackson pulled Violet away from our small group, and she went willingly.
We sat back down at the table and started to talk with Lys while she ate her chicken nuggets (she has an unhealthy obsession) and the bell rang, signifying our next class. When Violet sat down next to me at the table with the rest of us, I noticed something on her neck under her choker. It was barely showing, but it looked kind of red. My train of thought crashed and burned when the bell rang and class started.
The teacher told us to work on our projects, and the male from yesterday walked over to our small group.
"DJ, go away." Violet said while keeping her eyes on her paper.
"What did I ever do to you?" He asked innocently.
"You know exactly what you did to me." Violet snapped, giving the male a glare that seemed full of hate.
"You know that was an accident." DJ (?) said to the now steaming Violet. Jackson, who I didn't even know was in this class, walked over to the table and stood in front of Violet, but before he could go off on the other male, someone interrupted them.
"Boys. Take your seats now." Out teacher said strictly. Both of the males quickly sat down at their table and began to work in their projects. Violet pulled out several papers that had bullets, drawings, and a few paragraphs scattered across them.
"Damn, V, you're really into this aren't you?" Lys said while looking through the papers.
"I knew you weren't going to do it, and Senpai over there was to busy fangirling over anime." Violet replied, snatching the papers back from Lys.
"Senpai?" I ask, lost as to what was going on.
"It's a Japanese title. It essentially means upperclassman or someone who is older than you." Lys said while doodling(?) on her own wrist.
"Damnit give me my pen." Violet said, and once more snatched the object out of Lys' hand.
"What crawled up your ass and died?" Lys asked while grabbing some papers from her binder.
"Probably Jackson." Red snickered. This proceeded in Violet blushing madly and then punching Red in the arm.
"S-so Liz, do you have any notes?" Violet asked, trying to change the subject.
"Uh, yeah I do. Here." I say while handing her a piece of paper.
"Okay, Lys, grab a pencil and Violet grab me some paper. I'm going to do this shit." Red said while grabbing a pencil from Lys and a paper from Violet.
She began to write rather quickly and pulled the facts together like pieces of a puzzle. I couldn't help but stare in amazement at the girl that was writing so quickly and neatly.
She flipped through a few of V's papers and wrote down that information. This process continued through the entire class period, and by the time the bell rang, Violet was taking the paper home to type it up.
We continued with our day and enjoyed ourselves, but when I reached my locker before 5th period, someone was there. The familiar blonde smirked as he saw me approach my locker, his white teeth shining in the light. I wanted to ignore him, but because I had some of my books in my locker, I had to approach him.
"U-um... Could you please move tha-" I am cut off by the male pinning me against the locker. My first instinct was to yell, but I instead pulled out of his grip.
"The hell is wrong with you?!" I nearly yelled, wanting to punch the male for what he had done. He stays silent, amused at my outburst. I push him out of the way of my locker and quickly spin the code, grabbing my books and locking it once more.
I quickly walk away from my locker, and began to head to my next class.
'Why that little... What the hell makes him think he can do that to me!?' I thought to myself while silently rageing through the halls. After nearly bumping into several people, I finally arrived at my destination, where I sat next to Violet.
"You okay? You look kind of... Ragey." She said while tapping her pencil against her lips.
"It's nothing."
Violet looked at the pencil I had just snapped.
"Doesn't look like nothing."
"You know that kid from yesterday? DJ?"
"Unfortunately, yes."
"So... He was at my locker, and he pinned me against it."
"Why that little... That prick should know better that to mess with my friends after that stupid stunt he pulled."
"Stunt?"
"Shit." I hear Violet say under her breath. "It's a long story..."
"I have time."
