new girl in town - violetta

four.

Violetta sighed when she returned to the party. She soon found Fede, sitting on the sofa with some brunette, making out with her like she was the last thing to eat on the planet. She quickly got out her phone and snapped a picture, just as a gentle reminder for him tomorrow morning.

She then saw Francesca, luckily she was on the edge of the dance floor so when Violetta approached her, it wasn't nearly as awkward.

"VIOLETTA! ARE YOU HAVING FUN?" Fran screamed above the music, Violetta laughed at her new friends excite and grabbed her hands, twirling her round. The two danced through the next three songs hyperly, jumping to the beat and singing along at the top of their lungs.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU LION!" A shout could be heard over the music, Violetta broke away from Francesca to oversee what was going on. Fran stopped dancing to and the two headed to the dining area where the argument was taking place.

"Who do you think I am? Do you think I'm stupid? I raised you up Lion, I made you who you are now and you betray me by talking to those lower than us, I don't know how many times that I need to scream it at you for you to get it into your thick skull but we can't associate with these sorts of people!! Federico Castillo is bad enough, but at least he's got some wealth and a bit of charm behind him, but these guys... Lion you can't be serious!" The blonde screamed, tugging at Leon's arm, trying to pull him away from Maxi and Cami who seemed to be innocent bystanders to the whole ordeal. Camila soon shot a look of hope to Violetta and Francesca, a look that screamed "save me!".

"You can't control who I am friends with Ludmilla, that is totally and utterly my decision!" Leon shouted back, the music had now been switched off and a small crowd was gathering around the argument.

"Well, if I can't control that then I can't control you and if I can't control you then I can't control our relationship and if I can't control our relationship then there can't be a relationship, yeah that's right, you heard me, it's them or me!" Ludmilla screamed, pointing at Cami and Maxi with every high pitched yelp for attention. She was so wrong in what she was saying but got so angry that it seemed like she was correct.

"Well then I guess we don't have a relationship anymore then, because I don't want to have to bury my friendships in the sand for you anymore Ludmilla," Leon sighed, grabbing his jacket and pushing through the crowds. Something in Violetta's stomach knew that this wouldn't be over but the crowds disbanded pretty quickly, a lot of people left after Leon, it was still relatively early but the argument had bummed a lot of the guests out, soon only Maxi, Cami, Fran and the twins remained, even Fede's girl had disappeared.

"Better start heading home, huh Vilu?" Fede looped his arm around Violetta's, a clear signal that she would have to navigate the walk home. She simply nodded.

"Thanks for the amazing party Francesca, hope to be at the next one," Violetta smiled, embracing Francesca in a hug before repeating with Maxi and Cami. She really hoped that she could find proper friendship within this group, she really liked them and it seemed like they really liked her.

"I don't know about any more parties! This will all take me a year and a half to clean up, I mean, look at the floor, people just can't keep their drinks in their cups!" Francesca exclaimed, pointing to the colour stains on the rug and the sticky leftovers of many, many spilt drinks.

The walk home was exhausting, Violetta carried most of Fede's weight trying to get him back. He was probably acting for a little bit as when she threatened to let him go and leave him to sleep on the streets, he put more effort in. When they finally got home, she couldn't be bothered to get him upstairs and instead left him on the sofa, he would be comfortable enough when he woke up anyway.

"Violetta, it's rather late, I was wondering when the two of you would be getting back," Ramillo appeared in a robe and without his normal glasses or briefcase. He was staying in the guest bedroom whilst Violetta's dad isn't here to keep an eye on the two of them but, isn't hardly as strict as him.

"Sorry, I would have called but... it was rather loud with all the music and stuff," Violetta sighed, perching down on the sofa next to wear Fede was now laying. Luckily, he didn't have to attend class tomorrow as he would be an utter wreck.

"Well, I think you should know that your father called, he's glad to know that you are here safe and that your making friends, he'll be back within the week and would like to apologise for not being here and not making this transition easier," Ramillo explains, concerned with the scowl on Violetta's face.

"An apology from German Castillo, wow, that's rare, I think I feel a little funny," Violetta chucked sarcastically. Ramillo frowned at her remark, she knew that he desperately wanted German and his daughter to get along, especially after the death of Maria, he was lost for a long time and took some of that loss out on his children.

"I'm just a little upset that's all, I mean he was so adamant that I stuck with that school, he told me it would turn me into a better person and all it taught me was how to keep my head down and repress any personality. Despite that, I kept going there because it made him proud, I really wanted him to be proud of me... and then I went and got expelled, seems like bad grounds for being proud of your daughter. I kind of feel like he's putting off coming back here, he's putting off seeing me again," Violetta rants, putting her head on Ramillo's shoulder.

She was desperate not to let her dad down again, not after everything. But she also wasn't the sort of person to stand back and not do what she wanted, she felt those two things were about to collide heavily.
