Troubled Youth // A Violentine High School AU

Chapter IX: After-Prom

{ This is the last part of the 'Prom' chapters. This is going to be a pretty eventful chapter I would say. Also, before people comment it, I'm going to make Dorian the kids age as Minerva's friend. It will make sense later. Also, I'm going to make up some backstories for some of the kids who's stories weren't talked about in the game. }

The group wanted to go to 'After-Prom' because they knew that they could easily get a little fucked up while they were there. Omar didn't plan on drinking, not being that big of a fan of it, so he was their designated driver, however, Louis was driving there.

They always blasted music and crappily sang / screamed along to the words, unless something serious was going on. They pulled up, all scream-singing to "Sk8ter Boi" by Avril Lavigne. Louis found a spot to park and looked at the house. It was about half the size of his, and some people suggested he throw it, but he didn't have enough trust in his fellow classmates to do so. It was still pretty spacious, and not very many people went to it, so it wasn't a huge deal. The backyard and living room was where most people were.

The group walked in and were greeted by a couple people as they pushed their way through the crowd. Most people actually liked them, but others saw them as 'The Freaks'. They preferred to be called the 'Troubled Youth' which Louis always said over those types of remarks. He wasn't that much of a pussy, and would speak up and stand up for himself and his friends when he had to.

The group scanned their environment before finding the drinks. Once they all grabbed an alcoholic beverage, they made their way outside. There were some unoccupied chairs, so they snagged those. They resituated the chairs into a circle before sitting down. However, they were missing one chair so Sophie just decided to take a seat on Mitch's lap. He wrapped his arms around her, to help her stay on his lap. She hooked her arms around his neck, placing her head on his shoulder.

As time went on, they drank and started going over memories that they shared together. Most of them, Clementine wasn't a part of, but she wasn't complaining. She enjoyed listening to their stories. Ruby decided to make a suggestion, "Hey, how about we tell Clementine the reasons we are considered 'Troubled Youth'?" She made air quotes when she said 'Troubled Youth'. She knew she wasn't the game person, Louis was, but they all have never really talked about it.

They agreed, and Violet spoke up. "Well, Clem knows mine, so that leaves the rest of you." She informed them and got nods in responses. Violet's story was one-hundred percent the saddest out of all of them, so it was probably for the best that she didn't tell it again.

Marlon spoke up, getting the train rolling. "I was a super destructive child. I had so many anger issues, still do." He admitted. "It makes me do dumb things, and I act before thinking. I ended up hurting this kid really bad around second grade and he was hospitalized. I don't know why I did it, it was probably for a dumb reason. To this day I still regret it."

They went clockwise around the circle of kids, so Brody went next. "Mine's not too bad. Basically, I slightly have ADD, so I tend to go off into my own world. My anxiety also causes me to be impulsive when I get to that point. I've lashed out on people for dumb reasons. Marlon and I bond over that." She shrugged some, looking over to him and smiling.

Ruby nodded over Brody's story before continuing, "Welp, mine is very similar. I used to use vulgar language towards everyone and my parents sent me away to a camp for a while. Y'all better believe that I was not a happy camper when I came back."

Violet chuckled, "Yeah, you should have seen her back in the old days. She had a mean-streak a mile long. Just be happy you haven't seen that side of her." Clementine didn't expect Ruby to ever be like that. "Oh, have you ever seen those tasmanian devil cartoons? Yep, thats our Ruby."
