Don't Hide From Me, Please? |✔

Chapter 2| The Violin

Is there anyone who doesn't belong somewhere? I know that I don't belong anywhere. Aaron can go anywhere and he is automatically loved. For me it's a lot harder. I don't talk to anyone I don't know because I'm too shy to try a conversation. The one with Zayn wasn't so bad at all. One conversation done a thousand more to go. I don't why I felt regret when I broke from his grip. Was the electricity? Or the butterflies? Or maybe even both?

I do have to probably thank him for finding the one thing that's super close to me. It's needed more than because I left him alone at the cook out my little brother planned. It was nice to see him actually trying to be himself. I can tell it's been so hard for him even after five years. My mom just pulled us out of shrink visits a year ago. I never liked going anyways.

My legs fall over the bed and I walk to my dressers. I pull out a pair of pain gray sweatpants and a navy-blue tee-shirt. I brush my brown hair and I throw it into a ponytail. I sigh as I slip on my black Vans. I run downstairs. "Viola! Come on! Zayn and I have to leave!" Aron yells rushing back outside. Aaron has been catching rides with Zayn, I stick with the bus. I grab the Valentine chocolate from the refrigerator and I fast walk to his shiny black sports car.

I'm not big on cars so I have no idea of anything. I walk over to the driver side where Zayn is. "What can I help you with?" He asks. I smile as I hand him the chocolate that remind me of his gorgeous eyes.

"Valentine?" He questions.

"This has to be at least a year old!" He spats.

"It was frozen. It's still good. That's your proper 'thank you'." I reply with less confidence. Sudden anger washes over me and I yank the box out of his hand. "If you can't be grateful that I'm trying then get off this driveway now!" I scream. I march back into the house.

I forgot to bring a jacket or hoodie! Everyone is going to see my arms. Then everyone will hate me even more. Well they will use words to my face. I don't want that. I hold my arms in. I've made it to fifth period which is Physics. The nerves in my body jolt at any touch. I hope no one notices them. They keep the Science section cold on the third and second floor. So, it's freeze in here. Goosebumps begin to show up on my arms.

Zayn takes notice in this quickly. "Hey, Violet are you cold?" He asks. I stare at him blankly. "No Peterson I'm just shaking for the fun of it." I spit. I'm still mad that he thought I was going to kill him with frozen chocolate. So much for trying. I feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn to her. She smiles brightly at me. "Here you can wear my jacket. It looks like it will fit, not to mention keep you warm." She says.

I look at the peach color jacket and back at the girl. She has platinum blonde hair and dull blue eyes. I nod feeling Zayn's eyes on me. I slowly reach my hand to the jacket and I take it smoothly. The girl stares at me with shock. She seen them. My eyes widen and I drag to the lab side of the classroom. Mrs. Wolfe stepped out for a few minutes.

I showed the girl my arms. Her eyes widen at the sight clearly seeing how bad they use to be. "You can't tell anyone." I demand. The girl looks me in the eyes. "I won't as long as you keep me as your friend. I know you don't have any but I think that if I was your friend you would be interactive." She says with confidence. "Deal, but don' make me your mission to fix me because that's not how it works." I state my deal. Well, her deal.

We shook hands on it. "My name is Aurora." She beams. I nod. "I am Violet but people close to me call me Viola." I speak smoothly as possible. Together we walked to our sits with me wearing a peach jacket. I made a friend by myself today! I look down smiling. This would deserve a celebration, nothing too big or small. Maybe I will treat myself for frozen yogurt. The bell rings and everyone darts out of the room except Zayn, Aurora, and I. "I'll catch up with you Aurora." I smile. She nods and walks out.
