- I am the puppet master. I decide your feelings. I choose your fate.
You do whatever I say. You have no choice. There is no way out of my special kind of hell. Are you afraid? -

I walked to school, beaming, blasting the "CryBaby" album in my ears with the new earphones I bought in town with my friend Jess on Saturday. Today it was Tuesday and I could barely contain my excitement. Today was the last day of school... the last day that I'd have to deal with the patronising bitches that constantly pissed me off... well, at least I'd be rid of them for a few months, I thought to myself. That's not the only reason I'm excited for the holidays. For the first half of the summer, I'm staying at Jess' holiday house with her and her family. They have this super bomb pool that's always warm, and it never rains over there! I can't describe how much I love that place!

I strolled inside the school and took my earphones out of my ears. I walked to my locker, looking down at my phone as I turned the volume off and closed the music app. I opened my locker, about to take out the books I needed for the day, when suddenly, two arms wrapped around me and pulled me into a hug from behind.
I could tell who it was straight away.
"Violet!!!!" Jess exclaimed as she pulled away from the hug and smiled at me. Her smile spread out into a grin and she raised an eyebrow. "What took ya so long, eh?"
I couldn't help but grin and roll my eyes. "I'd apologise but you should know by now that when it comes to Melanie Martinez, I'm a trash bag that will walk slow as hell just so I can listen to the full album!"
She laughed. "This is why you're my non biological sister! Anyways, you excited for the holidays?"
"Pfft and have an excuse to stay miles away from the assholes at this place? Totally!"
We both laughed for a good few minutes. It was something that normally happened when we were around each other.
It rules.
"I'll see ya in class, Vee!" Jess smiled and walked away. She was joined by her boyfriend Kyle. I rolled my eyes and turned to my locker. Kyle.
What a freaking weirdo.
I shoved my iPhone 5c into my jacket pocket and closed my locker as I put everything I knew I needed into my bag. A few moments later, I was sitting at my desk, glancing at the clock from time to time, secretly praying they'd let everyone leave school early. I hated this place. I couldn't wait to get out of here! Even if it's for only 4 months, at least I'll spend more time with my bestie and my dad.
I can't wait.

- I bet you're all sooo happy for Violet. Aren't cha? You're so excited that she's gonna go on adventures with her friend and frolic in the fields with her dad! That's what you're thinking. But oh so wrong. I am the controller of her world. The creator. The destroyer. I decide what happens. And I won't let there be ANY happy endings -
