daniel took his seat next to me. i closed my eyes for a second. he was a weird kid. "where have you been?" i blurted our, not noticing that i had said that out loud. he looked at me with a confused look on his face. he didn't answer me and just sat in his chair, quietly.

"i don't know. why do you care?" he asked looking at me with his ocean blue eyes. his eyes were perfect. i didn't know what to say back so i just shrugged instead. "i guess i just didn't feel like coming" he finally said with a little laugh. i rolled my eyes at him and smacked his arm.

wednesday

yesterday was full of crap. daniel came back to school, corbyn and jonah were still bothering me about tom but i just ignored them. tom came over again and we actually got work done this time.

also, yesterday none of us had time to take the dog to the local shelter in the morning and after school i had swim practice. the dog is still with us at the house. we found out that he is a husky and border collie mix. i named him cooper.

anyway, this morning i felt like absolute crap. it was actually pretty hot outside and i didn't take a hoodie with me to school which was probably the biggest mistake i could've ever made. during class, i was literally freezing to death.

the bell rang, which meant our physics class was over. i hurried to my locker to grab whatever i needed for my next class, but tom was ready waiting for me by my locker.

"hey" i said as i gently pushed him aside to be able to reach my things. i guess he noticed that i was shivering from the air conditioning that my teacher wouldn't turn off. "you want my sweater?" he asked. i looked up at him with puppy dog eyes and nodded my head. he took his sweatshirt off and handed it over to me. i quickly put it on and immediately felt much better.

"thanks" i told him, pulling him into a hug. he was such a sweet and caring boy and even though i haven't known him for that long we already had so many good memories.

just as i pulled the two of us out of our hug, the bell rang which meant i had to go to class. which also meant i wouldn't get to see violet until lunch. i wish i was able to spend more time with her but i can't just ask her like that, she'd think i'm some kind of creep. i would never be able to tell her how i really felt about her because it would ruin our friendship. and i know we've only known each other for a few months but i haven't had such a good friend in a while.

i would invite her over to my place, but my brothers always ruin everything. they're so nosy and they always wanna know what's going on with everybody. if violet ever spends any time with them, i hope they don't make her hate them. or me.

lunch

violet's pov

i made my way in the cafeteria over to the table that the boys were sitting at. they were with tom and all i could think about was all the horrible things the three of them already told tom. i sat down at the table and took out a bag of chips from my backpack.

we had casual conversations throughout lunch, nothing too crazy. that is, until jonah mentioned the party. "hey daniel, violet's coming to the party you know" he said winking at me. i gave him a disgusted look.

"cool" daniel replied, he didn't even look up from his phone. there was a moment of awkward silence among us. i hated when this happened.

"i'm going to the library. tom you wanna come?" i asked standing up from the table and swinging my backpack on my back. he looked up at me with a confused look. "yes you do. okay let's go" i said, grabbing his arm and dragging him out of the cafeteria.

"okay what was that all about" tom asked me still very confused. i looked at him without an expression on my face.

"i didn't wanna go to the library alone?" i said it more as a question than a statement. we kept walking for a while in silence. i did not, by any means, actually think about going to the library. we walked outside to the quad area and i don't know what made me do it but i held tom's hand in mine. i didn't look up at him. he didn't pull away. i could tell that at first he was a little tense and i guess scared, but after a while, he let it go.
