Fan Fic- All The Bright Places (Jennifer Niven)

Chapter 2

Emane

As soon as I saw her, all I could think about was how beautiful she was. Long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. I bet she could even make the most hot headed man fall on his knees! Who wouldn't? Before she could see that I noticed her, I quickly turned away and pretend that I was looking over at the sun. Being able to make friends isn't easy for me, each time I try to speak up, they end up just leaving, so why try? It's easier to just be alone. But someone like her, it's hard not to want to be friends. What's the better solution? Not be friends and end up a loser? Or be her friend and making her fall in love with me? Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but I thought I saw her eyes light up when she saw me. Probably my imagination. And being the idiot that I am, all I can muster up to say is, 'So you're that girl who 'saved' his life.', you stupid moron, I scold myself, this was most likely a sensitive topic for her seeing that she was on the verge of crying. Just when I think she'll explode, I quickly say, 'Please be my friend Violet. You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever met and I want to know more about you.', Violet sucks in a breath, for a split second I think she's going to say no, but to my pleasant surprise, she nods and says, 'Alright Emane. Let's be friends, but I'm warning you, if you end up thinking I'm mental, don't blame it on me.', and with that Violet Markey stalks away, with me right behind her, grinning as if I had the entire world.

Violet

This boy sure is strange. When I looked back to make sure he was still following me, he had this huge grin plastered on his face and was smiling and saying hello to every person we passed. If I were him, I would just hang my head low and walk without making any eye contact. As we walked down the halls, I heard a sudden THUD!, I look behind and see that Emane accidentally collided with Gabe Romero a.k.a Roamer, 'Well this is a disaster waiting to happen...' I mutter under my breath as I hurriedly make my way over before anything catastrophic happens. 'I was just following Violet man.' Emane says slowly, 'Well watch where you're going at least you halfwit.' Roamer seethes looking Emane up and down. It's funny to look at because Emane is at least 2 inches taller than Roamer, yet he looks like he wants to curl into a ball and hide in a corner. 'I'm sorry okay? I promise never to bump into you again.' Emane says quietly, I can tell Roamer is quite pleased with making the new kid cower and says, 'You better, or I'll beat you up like that all mighty Finch!'. As soon as that's said, my blood runs cold, so I say slowly, 'What did you say?', I'm cautious not to grab him by the hair and toss him to the wall, but in response to my question, all he does is bark a laugh and stride away and he continues to laugh all the way down the corridor.
