Recently, everything has been going so well between the pair. Clem and Louis had a brief rockiness in their friendship before being able to get through it.
There were no more bullying since Derek got expelled. It's almost as if everyone else only joined in because Derek got away with it for so long.

There was one burning question: why did Derek do that to Louis? Breaking someone's arm like that takes a lot of force, meaning that he must have been angry to do so. Or, maybe not angry, but wanted to severely hurt Louis. He had no remorse for it.
He didn't just cause immense physical pain, it was also a heavy emotional impact on the boy. It caused him to revert back to old ways, before Clem came into his life.

"What happened that day for him to break your arm? I don't get how people can be so evil." Clem said, while the pair were sharing lunch at school. Yet again, they were in the privacy of Louis's car.

'I must of provoked him.' Louis wrote, suggesting something.

She eyed him in suspicion after reading the note. "Explain. Now." She said, in a demanding tone.
Damn.

Louis sighed lightly, but complied regardless. 'He basically threatened me to stay away from you. Something about you being too good for me.' He noted.

Rolling her hand to signal for him to continue, Louis continued. 'I stood up to him. He got pretty mad. And, that's how I got this.' And waved his wrapped up arm around.

"So, the one time you stood up for yourself, ended like that?" Clem clarified.
Louis nodded to confirm. It was the only logical explanation.

Furrowed brows, Clem pinched her temples between both hands. "I can't believe this." She muttered, growing angry.

Louis wrote 'I'm fine now though. After all, I have you.' And passed it over to her.

Reading the cute note, Clem lifted her head to view the boy. "You're a real charmer." She giggled, growing hot.

'So I've been told. But, I've been called better things ;)' He replied in writing, smirking.

Looking at him, Clem eyed him with a foreign emotion in her eye. Jealousy. "Have you now?" She questioned.

Louis just snorted, shaking his head. Clem sighed and muttered "Asshole."

Louis just playfully nudged the 'mad' girl. 'Come on, you know I'm messing.' He wrote.

"I know you are. I just thought to get you back by pretending to be mad." She replied. She was the one now smirking.

Marlon and Violet had somehow found Louis in the school hallway, just after school had finished. They were around the boys locker, just chatting.

"Dude, I can't believe you didn't tell us about Derek. I would've sorted him out way before Clem did." Marlon spoke, with crossed arms.
