Violet POV
Walking out of homeroom, I trudged my way into first period, rubbing my eyes in the process. Last night around 9:30 I had remembered, while laying in my bed mind you, that I had that required essay to write for the essay contest.
The one I hadn't started yet.
Suffice to say it ended up being the worst essay I have ever written, I didn't even care about it. I ended up writing some persuasive on how environmentalists need to relax and stop worrying about everything. Throughout the time I was writing I was just praying my teacher wasn't some secret environmentalist.
I reached for my study hall classroom door handle only to then realize that it was actually first period, biology, which was on the other side of the school.
"Shit!" I cursed, ignoring the weird looks that the other kids gave me I sped down the hallways as they quickly cleared out. I opened my biology classroom door only seconds before the bell had rung. Of course the whole class was looking at me and of course the teacher had been paying attention and gave me a disapproved look at my entrance.
"Sorry" I spoke to her, she ignored my apology but responded,
"We have changed the seating chart, sit with whomever you would like." She said then turned around to her work. Other kids in the class had started their own conversations being that the class hadn't gone underway yet so I slowly walked up and down the isles of tables trying to find one open seat in the tables of two.
"Uh Violet..?"
Conner.
I turned around quickly at his voice to see him sitting in one of the back row tables by himself.
"You can sit here if you would like?" He asked nervously. Nervously? Why would he have any reason to be nervous? I should be the nervous one.
Nodding to him, I walked to the back row and sat down in the seat next to him, already my heart was beating twice as fast, and it wasn't from sprinting to this class.
"You're late" He whispered in my ear as I was getting my biology folder out and almost flipped back in my seat at the close distance. He just laughed and I gave him a look.
"I know, I was up late last night doing that dumb essay contest thing. Did you have to do that?" I asked him and looked over to him, he was just staring at me wide eyed before quickly looking back to his desk, only then did he respond.
"Eh, no, no I didn't" He said before looking back up to me.
"Well, lucky you, I wasn't as fortunate. Hey thank you for letting me sit with you by the way." I said smiling to him and he smiled back.
God if he only knew how many times I longed to see him smiling like that to me again. All I can do now is just relive all those memories of him and I in my head.
"No problem Violet." He says and flicks his hair out of his eyes making me laugh,
"You ever think of getting that hair cut, so you don't have to do the flick every two seconds?" I joke and he laughs before tilting his head.
"How did you know I call it the flick?" He asks and I can physically feel my eyes go wide but I try to compose it. I obviously have to lie to this, I could just tell the truth but I'm pretty sure saying "Oh only because in my dream while I was in a coma we were going out and I cut your hair for you and you told me that you called it the flick" would scare any normal person off. Its little stuff like this that just keeps reminding me that I really do not know him, or at least I am not supposed to.
"Well guessing off the fact that you are flicking your head to the side, it fits?" It was more of a question then a response but he seemed to accept it. Not before giving me a curious look though. Does he know? No how could he possibly have even guessed how I knew what it was called.
"You two in the back, quiet down please this will be on the test next week." The teacher calls to our attention and my hatred for her grows even more. "Okay so can anyone tell me the three different kinds of biomes?" She asks and calls on some kid in the front with their hand high up in the air.
"You would think the both of us being in a coma would have her act differently toward us." Conner whispers to me and I smile to myself and nod to him showing him how I agree.
"Conner? Is there something you would like to share with the class? I would assume that is why you decided to speak to Violet just now?" Our teacher asks and I feel my face heat up. I hope he has an answer for her because I certainly do not.
"Oh I'm sorry Mrs. Flynn, I was just asking my friend Violet here what biomes were since you know, I have just come out of a coma and all. My bad, I'm sorry" He says and I can tell half the class is shocked while the other half is trying to stifle a laugh.
"Very well, just pay attention." She speaks back, obviously embarrassed.
"Nicely done" I whisper to him making sure she won't hear. Not that Mrs. Flynn would say anything now.
"Why thank you very much" He whispers back.
Hes making it so difficult to not be head over heels in love with him.
Mathew POV
Not gonna lie, now that Conner and I have come to the conclusion that Ryan is okay, especially since he isn't dating Violet, hes a pretty chill guy. I mean yeah, I miss my empty seat that used to be next to me in government, but he really isn't that awful. That is, if he isn't the same kind of guy that he was when he brought those drugs into school sophomore year.
"Shit we had homework didn't we?" He says the moment he sits down. I just laugh at him and take out the worksheet that was assigned.
"Here man, he won't even check this for ten more minutes, you can just fill in what I had" I told him pushing my paper toward him,
"Really? Thanks dude" He said back
"Don't thank me too much, I'm not sure half of it is even right." I shrugged and pulled out my phone real quick to text Cassidy. I miss her so much it's crazy. In a way I think she is making me more mature, the fact that she is older and knows what college is like, I think I need that in my life, something to make me more mature.
I know it sounds sappy and meant to be put into a movie scene but this is my senior year, my last year of schooling, this is the year I have to get my shit together. I have no idea if I will ever get into any sort of college, especially because of my dropping out, but Ill figure something out I'm sure, even if I have to go to community school or something I really don't know, but knowing Cassidy and how much she has accomplished, I sort of want to be enough for her, make her proud. I swear to god if I get any sappier right now..
"Alright sweet, thanks man" Ryan said pushing my paper back to me after he finished writing.
"Okay class, I'll pass out your review sheet, do it or not, but it will impact your score on the test tomorrow so I advise that you do it." The teacher speaks and begins to pass out the packets to the class
"Mr. Howling, how are you liking the class so far?" Mr. Parkers asks when he gets to our table, giving both of us packets.
"Pretty good, I'm actually learning stuff and its only been a couple days so that's gotta mean something" Ryan says and smiles to the teacher, grinning a little too much but Mr. Parkers doesn't see through it and grins back,
"Wonderful news! Keep up the good work!" He tells him before walking away back to his desk.
"Wow kiss up much?" I laugh and he just shrugs
"Its magic my friend, quite magical." He responds making us both laugh.
