I got your back (Violetine)

Chapter 2

[Violet's POV]

I sat next to Louis as we waited for our teacher to enter the room from the door on the other side. She came out with a pile of paper, presumably our timetables, and some other girl.
I guess she must've been talking to the teacher in the other empty room.

"Class! Settle down! Cory, stop yelling! No Kassie don't put your pencil...there. For God's sake everybody shut up!"

Strange...the mornings in this room haven't changed since day one. Now it's our final year in this school before we go off to college. The thought of growing up is exciting and scary at the same time.

Everyone had calmed down after that and our teacher finally relaxed.

"Thank you...finally. I would like to introduce a new member to our school."

She looked down at the strange girl and gave her a reassuring smile. The new girl smiled back and got ready to introduce herself just when...

BOOM!

The small sound of an explosion came from down the hall outside. Everyone knew it was the infamous brothers, Willy and Mitch. Those two seemed to have some sort of crazy obsession with bombs and always had something to do with trouble.

The teacher sighed deeply and excused herself to go and check out the hallway. She asked the girl to continue with her introduction and that she would be back in a minute.

She seemed much more nervous but managed to speak.

"Hey. My name is Clementine. I...uh...moved here to Washington from Georgia with my parents and adoptive brother. Uh...I'm 16...and I guess that's it?"

As soon as she was done the teacher walked back in and let us know that the head of the school would be dealing with the Willy and Mitch situation. She handed Clementine her schedule and told her to sit next to Brody at the front.

I didn't like Brody, not one bit. And I had a good reason too.

"Uh...Vi? The teach wants you"

"Huh? Oh, what?"

I looked up to see the teacher glaring at me for not listening.

"Pay more attention Violet. I don't want this year to be like the last. I asked if you and Louis wouldn't mind helping Clementine finding her classrooms for the next two weeks"

"Yeah sure. Nothing better to do"

I wasn't exactly the best student here. I wasn't stupid or anything, I got good grades. That didn't mean I wasn't a trouble maker. Usually, I would get caught smoking on school property and I once got caught spray painted "Fuck Ericson" at the back of the building. Ericson was a total prick, he just stayed in his office all the time, I'm pretty sure nobody even knows what he looks like.

Homeroom was over and me and Louis waited for Clementine to gather up all her belongings before we went to her first class.

She approached us and smiled shyly. I'm gonna be honest...she has a really cute smile.

"So uh...I'm Violet and the tall dude is Louis."

Louis gave clem a closed eye smile showing his teeth.

"Hey y'know, if you don't have anyone to hang out with at lunch, you can join us!" Louis proclaimed. He just HAD to open his mouth. I liked our group, getting used to some stranger showing up wasn't something I was good at.

"Oh...that's really nice of you. I'll think about it"

Her voice was quite monotone but also very feminine. Unlike lots of other people I'd met, I couldn't tell what she was like from simply looking at her. She was a mystery to me. I didn't like that...I felt like I'd never understand her and I'd only just met Clem.

What a bother
