Part Ten | The Rainstorm

Mature warning for this chapter for a few paragraphs that include some aggression and hostility 

The rest of Clementine's day rolls by in a blur, after lunch her Monday classes pass by quickly and she's fortunate enough that Minerva isn't in any of her other lessons. She doesn't know if she could keep her cool if she came face to face with Minerva again, just thinking of the redhead leaves Clementine scowling.

Her last lecture of the day is an hour tutorial, she always liked this lecture because it faces the courtyard where students often sit between lessons the student union café offers ice cold drinks and smoothies. Clementine's seat is right by the window and while she often hated this because the light coming into the room blinds her, she's not so fussed today.

At every chance she gets she glances out of the window, laying her eyes on Louis and Violet who are sitting on the steps of the outside auditorium each cradling iced drinks in their hands. Clementine can't help but notice how effortlessly happy Violet looks as she playfully swats at Louis and throws her head back as she laughs.

"Miss Everett."

Clementine turns her attention back to the front of the class where her tutor Mrs Shaw looks at the brunette over her glasses, she clears her throat, "please pay attention Miss Everett."

"Yes, sorry Mrs Shaw." She replies, the older women turns her back to the class as she writes a section of text on the board. Clementine dares one final look out the window, her breath hitches in her throat as she notes that Violet is smiling at her. Upon being caught staring the blonde returns her gaze to Louis and continues their conversation. Clementine smiles reassured to know that Violet seems to be staring at her as much as she stares at Violet. The brunette picks up her pen returning her attention to the last thirty-five minutes of the class with a smile on her face.

She meets up with Violet and Louis once her class is over, watching as the carpark slowly begins to empty as students rush to get away from the building. This makes it easier for Clementine to spot Violet and Louis who are leaning against the black BMW the boy received as a gift on his 17th birthday. 

"Hi," Clementine calls, she grins with glee as both students turn to face the brunette and offer her wide smiles.

"Hey Clem," says Louis as he points to his car, "do you want a lift home?" Clementine walks over to Violet and smiles at the girl, taking in her soft features as she gently grasps the blonde's hand.

"I'm alright thanks Lou, my dad's giving me a lift." Louis smiles and takes in Violet and Clementine who are so engrossed in each other that Clementine doesn't even look at Louis to respond to his question.

"Hey Clem, me and Vi were talking about what we're going to do for Violet's upcoming 20th birthday," Louis says, pulling the girl's attention away from each other and towards himself.

Violet rolls her eyes and sighs loudly at Louis, "let's not make it a big deal okay," she says, as she looks at Clementine, "A night out with everyone and then maybe just a small gathering with you two and Brody," she looks to Louis who's pouting, "fine we'll invite Marlon so you don't feel left out" Violet says with a smile.

Clementine feels delighted that Violet wants Clementine included in this small selection of friends, but she tries to keep her cool and act as though she isn't over the moon at this statement. Louis smiles and stretches his hands out in front of him, "leave it with me" he says, "right, you ready to go Vi?"

Violet releases Clementine's hand as she approaches the passenger side door, Clementine follows her and watches as Louis and Violet throw their bags into the back seat. "You okay to wait here for Mr Everett?" Violet asks turning to face the brunette.
