Chapter 1

“Aah, Piss off” I screamed.

“Ya God, what happen now?” Starlet said blissfully.

Well, this is me, Violet’s the name, and making people laugh is my game. I’m 16 by the way and Starlet is 16 too. I know it sounds cheesy but she is my best friend. God knows how we met. But I love laughing with her, it was always something special! I always go on about how I will never get married. And oh god how things change!

“Hurry up Chloe! We are going to be late for school” I shouted at the top of my voice. I always thought I wanted to be the only child but I can’t change the past. No one can. Today I let my soft brown fall beyond my shoulders, just letting it rest on my mid-back; I made a medium-sized plait from the top left side towards the right, making it slide behind my ear. I was wearing my school uniform which was a black blazer lined with green outline. It didn’t look good but I know how to rock an outfit. So I customised it by adding a fitted wire around the waist and rolling the sleeves up, showing the green lining. I checked my timetable while Chloe was taking forever upstairs. I had history, Maths, Re and double Science, Starlet’s favourite lesson. Oh God, Starlet!

“Chloe I am going, I am suppose to meet Starlet at Edgeworth Avenue!” I ran for the door. Almost forgot, “see ya Mum” and I pecked her on the cheek, “oh and Mum, I going to be late today”. I dashed towards the door before she can say no. It was like half pasted seven, and I am going to be late on the first day of school ‘great thinking Violet’ I thought. As I sprinted towards EGA, passing every shop without a glance, but then something struck me, a familiar face. But I had no time, Starlet was waiting for me. I went past Poundland, and then my feet magically stopped, SWEETS! I suddenly thought. Starlet wouldn’t mind if I was 5 minutes late. I went in and out within three minutes; I was getting faster, my personal record. I ran across the road and then I saw a familiar car, it was silver and quite old, a few scratches inbreeded on it; I suddenly thought ‘how old is this car?’ M001BOP, that makes it a Audi A4, 2001, 2 door hatchbacks and a 1.2 petrol tank, I think. ‘Aah forget this rubbish car, I got a friend to meet’ I crossed the road and there I saw her. Her appearance, just brought me happiness, it was Starlet!  Her black hair rolled in curls just above her shoulders, while keeping her fringe straight which covers her right eye brow and slide off her deep hazel eye. She looked stunning. But there was something messing up the atmosphere. Who was the man next to her? ‘OMG it was Mr Morgan!’ I knew I recognised that car! What the flip was Starlet talking to him for? In the morning as well! He had two hours with him later, couldn’t she wait. But then I wondered what they are talking about. I creep behind a telephone box,

“No I am not doing it” I heard Starlet shouting at him,

“Do it! It’s simple” I heard him reply angrily,

there was silence.

“You can come out now Violet, I can hear your breathing” it was Starlet voice,

“Violet? Where?” Mr Morgan said confusedly,

The game was up. Sometimes I wished Starlet and I was not the best of friends, so I could get away with what I am doing now, only if I didn’t have a cold and only if Starlet didn’t know my breathing pattern, then I could have heard what my best friend and my science teacher was plotting. I came out of the shadows and dragged myself toward where the two people were; one I love and the one I didn’t mind.

“Hey, Starlet” I was going in for a hug, and then she suddenly stopped me;

“no hugs, Violet, SPUDS the new thing” Starlet smiled. As she forms her hand to a fist to spud me, we were suddenly interrupted by Mr Morgan.

“Should I take you two to school, I parked my car just over there.” He was pointing, where I saw the silver car. I wanted to go; there was a strong desire for me to be in his teacher car. But what will other students think? What will the teachers think? What will my mum think? But I still had a desire to go into his car. Just think about it, Mr Morgan’s car! Me! In it! It was going to be a dream come tr—

“No! Mr Morgan, we don’t want to go into your stupid car!” her voice was getting louder and angrier, “What were you thinking? You, stupid man!”

“Calm down Starlet! I was only asking!” Mr Morgan said worriedly, “I didn’t know you had such an angry voice within you” he mumbled,

“what was that?” Starlet snapped. I stayed quiet.

“Nothing” he said quickly, and he formed his hand into a spud, but was rejected by Starlet. He moved it towards me and I took it happily. Hoping he will ask the offer again, however I don’t think he was going to risk it with Starlet here. And he went, just like that. I had mixed feeling about this, but what I really wanted to know…

“What were you talking to him about? Starlet” I said a bit forcefully,

“don’t worry about it, Violet, hey where is Chloe?” she replied looking around,

I knew by the face, that it wasn’t nothing, and her pathetic ways to change the subject is getting predictable by the minute.

“Tell me, Starlet! What were you talking about?” I heard her mumble “nothing” and I suddenly got angry. “TELL ME STARLET!!! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?” she just stormed off, and got on the 41 bus without me.
