Teenage Love & Broken Hearts

Chapter 5

(Violet's POV)

I woke up to hearing my alarm going off like crazy, I sit up on bed going to turn off my alarm. I looked at my clock and see that it's 7:00. I get up and grab some dark blue jeans and a black shirt out of my dresser, I walk out of my room, to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Once I walk out I realized that I don't got a hoodie on, so I walk into my room to grab a hoodie, it was a Santa Cruz black tie dye. Great...looks like i'm going to look emo today. I grab my purple beanie and adjust it onto my head before I grab my backpack.

I walk down the hallway to see my dad sleeping on the coach and I don't see my grandparents around, I don't see my mom either. I walk towards my mom's room, I knock on her door. I heard an approving sound to go in. I walk in to see my mom sit on her bed, while she is on her computer.

"Can you drive me to school today?" I asked her, she looked at me with nervousness.

"Not today, can't you ask Louis, or t-that girl Clementine or something." She harshly said.

"Yeah, It's fine." I told her and walked out of her room, I heard a loud sigh as I closed the door.

I walk into the living room and sit down on the coach, I soon grab my phone out and call Louis.

(Louis): Hello?

(Me): Hey, I need a ride today..I was wondering if you could pick me up?

(Louis): Yeah, sure. I'll be there in 15 minutes.

(Me): Alright, bye.

(Louis): Bye.

I hear someone knock on the door, I quickly get up and open the door. I see Louis standing in the doorway motioning me to follow him to his car. I get into his car and buckle up and soon I see Louis getting into his car, on the driver's side. He backs out of my driveway and then we start to drive to the school, while I was looking out the window. About halfway to the school I hear Louis say something.

"So, why can't your own mother drive you?"

"Huh?" I ask him, after I get interrupted from my own thoughts.

"Why can't your mom drive you today? He repeats himself.

"I have no clue. She never tells me anything." I told him, I look at him and he gave nod in response.

Once we both get to the school, I see the others waiting for us. I grab my backpack out of his car and try to catch up to him.

"Hey, Violet" I hear a voice coming from behind me.

"Hey." I told her.

"So, I'm guessing you moved on, but really? To Clementine..?" She told me.

"I- Just fuck off, Minerva." I turn towards her, seeing a hurtful expression on her face.

"You know I was kidding, right?" She told me.

"I don't know.." I turn around to walk towards the group, but I hear footsteps coming from behind me. I was ready to tell Minerva to fuck off again, but then it was Clementine.

"Hey."

"Hey." I said.

"I seen you and Minerva talking, you alright..?" She asked, I tried to make eye contact with her, but I couldn't.

"Yeah, I'm fine. No need to worry about me." I replied quickly, I seen Clementine give an confused look.

"Alright, if you say so, I believe you." She told me. I was walking next to her, feeling guilty that I lied to her, she doesn't need to worry about me. I'm the least of her worries, right?

"We should catch up to the group." I told her.

"Yeah, we probably should." She responded, I gave her a nod.

We both were able to catch up to the group, but then they started to ask questions.

"Hey, you two, where were you guys?" Louis asked me, a shot him a glare saying 'Shut the fuck up'.

"I was walking with her because I got lost." Clementine explained to Louis, I let out a slight sigh of relief, but then I seen Louis look at me, he gave me a shit eating grin.

"C'mon, lets get to class, we only have 5 minutes left." Marlon told us. We all start to walk in the same direction, but then we split up and go to our lockers. I grab my notebooks, folders, and books before I could leave. I started to walk to science, as I walked into the classroom, I heard someone yell my name. I looked in the direction where I came from, It was Louis, telling me to get over there. As I walked over there I realized that I didn't see Clementine anywhere except for when we all separated. I had an worry look on my face, I seen Louis turn around and look at me with a caring expression.

"What's wrong?" He asked me, I didn't reply to him.

"Violet, can you please tell me what's wrong? I won't force you to answer if you don't want to, whatever you're worrying about is going to be okay." He reassured me, I gave him a nod, he returned it.

"It's tha-" I seen Clementine walk into the classroom, I sort of motioned her to come over and sit, but Louis on the other hand, was confused about what just happened.

"Hey." Clementine said while walking over here.

"Hey, feel free to sit here if you like." I told her.

"Only if you're here." She replied, I felt my face turn red, so I turned away just enough where it didn't look like I was being rude.

"That part is up to you." I replied, I got a chuckle, In return at what I just said.

"Are you two love birds going to actually do something or are you just gonna sit there and flirt all day?" Marlon spoke up, causing me and Clem to get somewhat red. I quickly turn the other direction, I pick up my pencil and start to do some of the notes that were on the board. I turn in the direction where Louis and Clementine were laughing at. I started to tense up a little bit, I feel my hand grip onto my pencil tighter than usual. I continue doing my work trying my best to ignore the fact that Louis and her were having a great time.

Am I jealous? No, I can't be, don't even know her that well, but I hate the fact that Louis is being around her more, making her smile, laugh, and seem she's enjoying his company. I-I think I am jealous..
