"Purple!" I called after Violet.

Violet turned and at that moment I jumped on her. I hugged her. I have no idea why, but I had a feeling that told me to do it. And maybe because I just wanted to hug her...

She was in a little shock for a while, but after a few seconds she hugged me back. We pushed away and smiled at each other.

I can't stop thinking about Violet. I think of her all the way home.

I finally got to my house and pulled the keys out of my pocket. Everyone is asleep, so I have to be quiet not to wake them.

Slowly and quietly, I unlock the door and go inside. I close the door behind me and walk slowly up the stairs to my room.

The lights turned on.

Fuck Fuck Fuck. I turn slowly back to the living room where I see Carley in her light purple bathrobe.

Damn! Do I have a problem? I've never been caught before! Also, I've never arrived SO LATE before.

I went down those few steps to be closer to Carley so I wouldn't have to speak so loud. "H-Hi, Carley."

Carley didn't look upset."Where have you been?"

I sighed. "Outside. I couldn't sleep."

Carley raised an eyebrow with a smirm. "All alone?"

Oh, I know what she's talking about. Carley has been asking a lot lately if K have anyone, because I often go out and stuff.

Carley and Lee know I'm into girls, too, and they were both fine with it. Lee even offered to go to Pride sometime, which would be great!

I stuttered. "N-No, I was with V-Violet." After this sentence and after the mention of Violet, I felt my cheeks turn red.

Carley made an 'oh' sound and smiled with a smirk.

"W-What?" I asked.

Carley's smile widened. "Oh nothing ... nothing. I won't tell Lee anything so don't worry about that, but go to bed now."

I smiled, nodded and went upstairs to my room.

I went into my room and closed the door behind me, which had photos on it. I looked at them and smiled at all those memories.

One of the oldest photos is a photo with my friend Sarah. A few years ago we were in the mountains with Lee and Lee met Carlos there, who have a daughter named Sarah. She's a little older than me, but we enjoyed those ten days at the cottage togheter.

Another photo is also a few years old. I was eight years old when we took the photo. In the photo is me, Lee, my friend Duck and his parents. Kenny and Katja. They're Lee's old friends, and before we moved with Carley, we went out a lot, and I often played with Duck in our old garden.

In the next photo, I was thirteen years old. It was me and AJ sitting on a bench eating ice cream while Lee took the picture.

There is a few other photos with Lee and AJ in which we all seemed happy every time.

I also have a lot of photos with James. Especially the selfies he takes pictures every time we're together. The worst thing what he does is to add a snapchat filter on it.

I stopped looking at the photos on my door and jumped right into bed.

In fact, I didn't wantto sleep anymore. All I could think about was Violet. I need to talk to someone about her... James!

I took my phone from my pocket and turned it on. As a wallpaper I have a photo of me, Lee, AJ and Carley. They mean everything to me...

I unlocked my phone and clicked on the 'call' icon. James's number was one of the most used, because James very often calls me out of nowhere and talks about gossip.

I don't complain though. I don't even go to that school and I slowly know everything about everyone.

I clicked on 'gAybOi😌✌' and put the phone to my ear.

It rang a few times. Please, pick up! I thought. When I began to lose hope, James picked it up. "Clem? What the hell do you want so late tonight? You got lost again? I told you not to go outside so late-"

I smiled at the memory when I went out at night and got lost. Then I had to call James to find me, I wouldn't lie, it took him a few hours.

"No no no, James. I didn't get lost again." I laughed a little. "And I really don't care if I woke you up I NEED to talk to you."

James gasped. "Is something wrong?"

"Yes. I met someone." I said with a smile.

James gasped again, but this time more suprised. "Normally I'd hang you up because you woke me up from my beauty sleep, but since it sounds interesting ... I'm listening. Tell me, Orange!"

"Wait! You hold hands ?!" James shouted into the phone after I told him everything that had happened with Violet.

I lay on my back, smiling, because all I was talking about was Violet. "Yes! And don't scream so much! Plus, I have one more surprise."

James made a 'oh' sound. "And what surprise is that?"

I could feel his stupid smirk even through the phone. "Tommorow. Sleepover at Louis's. That's Violet's best frien-"

"Louis Sulieman, huh?" James asked.

I was confused. "You know him?"

James dramatically gasped. "Really? He's the hottest guy at our school!"

"Wait! Is that THE Louis ?! Who you have a Crush on for the last one year?" I was shocked, but also somehow happy for James.

I remember when James told me he had Crush on a guy named Louis and now he's going to sleepover at his house tomorrow? Wow.

James and I called for another hour. I was working on a plan for James to admit his feelings for Louis, while he provoked me about Violet.

I looked out the window and saw the stars disappear from the black sky and the dark sky lighten. Shit. I should go to sleep.

I said goodbye to James and hung up the phone. I yawned and realized I was really REALLY tired.

I got out of bed slowly, took off my clothes, and threw it on the floor beside the bed.

I put on some pajamas and jumped into bed under the blanket. The second time I closed my eyes, I fell asleep.

~

"Clem... Clem, Clem!" Someone shouted at me.

I opened my sleepy eyes and saw AJ sitting on the other side of my bed trying to wake me.

I stretched and smiled at him. "Good morning Goofball. You need anything?"

AJ got out of my bed and headed for the door. "Good morning, Clem! Breakfast is in ten minutes!" He finished the sentence and ran out of my room with a smile on his face.

I sighed and turned my head to look at the clock on my bedside table. Damn, I only slept for three hours!

I stretched once more and climbed out of my bed. The sun shined from the window so much that it lightend up my entire room.

I picked up the clothes I had thrown before om the floor and put it in the dirty laundry basket in the bathroom.

I was too tired to change out of my pajamas, so I just washed my sleepy face with cold water and went downstairs to the kitchen.
