After meeting teacher after teacher and explaining in every class where I came from, why I was here, basically my entire life story it was FINALLY lunch time, something I always looked forward to, food.

The cafeteria was buzzing with gossip and PDA that I frankly would like to ignore. I spotted Lilly and made my way over to the table.

"Vi! Come sit with us!" I was so glad she offered because I would have sat in the janitors closet if I had to.

"Guys this is Violet, Violet this is Jo" She referred to a pretty girl with dark hair, eyebrows and eyes, she looked so exotic. She stood to hug me and towered of me, man she was tall.
"That's Ethan, don't let him near your pasta!"

"One time Rosy, one time and your gonna hold that against me? Whatever, Hi."

Ethan was good looking, like a boy-next-door type of cute with blond hair, blue eyes and dimples, aww.

Rosy carried on "Those are the twins, Meg and this," she gestured to the tall dark guy putting his arms around her," is my boyfriend Aaron."

I said hi's to everyone shaking a hand or two and poking my spork into the mack and cheese. I don't know what all the fuss was about, caf food wasn't that bad.

The twins came to sit on either side of me and my ears immediately started changing color, wow they were gorgeous. And smelled so good?

"Hi, I'm Chad"

"I'm Charles"

"What do you think Charles we got ourselves a taker?" He winked to his brother and my curiosity spiked. I gave them a confused look.

"I don't know Chad she looks a little... I don't know, like she looks a little, girly?"

"I'm right here, and I don't appreciate you judging me, you don't even know me?"

They gave each other a look and smirked incredible smirks in my direction.

Chad started "Well Vi, you see, we are part of a secret organization that is so top secret," Charles interrupted "TOP SECRET" whispering loudly in my ear, "that we need to be sure we can trust you before we fill you in on the details.

I looked from one identical smirk to another and nodded silently continually eating my Mac and cheese, amused.

"Well", Charles whispered "we meet up at..."

"Your not trying to get her to L.A.R.P with you guys are you?" Meg was standing in front of us with her hands on her hips.
She was very sexy, curvy in all the right places.

Wait. L.A.R.P ???

I couldn't contain the laugh that burst through my nose. As in like Life Action Role Play??

"Meg we were leading her into it!" Chad gave Meg a disgusted look of disappointment

"Guys, easing someone into it or not, nobody wants to play dress up with you nerds"

Charles looked genuinely hurt "I'll have you know, the LARPing community it not one to be mocked, if you don't watch yourself we will retaliate!" He pumped his visit in the air like he was going into battle.

Man these people were weird.

"Don't you guys play football?"

"Yeah but what does that have to do with anything?"

"I don't know I just wouldn't have thought football players should be LARPing that's all..." I look at Chad curiously sipping my chocolate milk... Mmm chocolate milk.

"There are lots of things you don't know new girl." Chad whispers so close to my ear his breath tickles my neck and I giggle a little.

Well its a good thing I probably won't be here long enough to find out.

"So, Violet, Where are you from?" I turned towards Meg, she was really pretty like a punk-rock but not to scary kind of girl. Her hair was dark brown with amazing curls that went all the way to her waist. She also wore Vans and a dark grey T that said, 'But first coffee', my kind of girl.

"Uuum, a little from everywhere I guess. I'm originally from South Africa,2 years ago my parents got an adventurous spike and since then we've never really stayed in one place longer than 4 or 6 months so kinda everywhere. Australia, Canada, UK even Russia but that didn't stick long."

"Wow, that's so cool, I'd love to travel the world like that! It gets so boring in our little town."

"Wait so does that mean your gonna leave in the middle of this year to?" Ethan looked totally confused. I mean I didn't blame him, new girl shows up and already she's moving ?

"Yeah probably."

"Well that sucks, you were the first person I wasn't tempted to strangle yet." Meg said with a puppy do face.

"Well then again you haven't really got to know me yet." I winked and everyone laughed as the bell went of. It was 5th period and one that I was actually looking forward to, Art. Yeah I'm an artist, I didn't think it was important to tell you cause I'll probably be leaving soon, but yeah.

The class was so messy, I love it. We all sat behind easels in a circle while the art teacher walked in, taking her place in the middle of the classroom.

"I hear through the grape vine that we have a new student," she wrinkles her nose and twirls around the class. I like her. She has big round glasses and none of her clothing peaces match, and yes she has paintbrushes in her hair, but I like her.

"Uum," cough cough,"that's me Miss"

"Jenna, I'm Jenna, Miss J, Miss Jenny and the occasional Mom"

"Uuu okay Miss J, I'm... "

"Violet! Yes yes I know now come here."

I'm very confused at this moment. I walk towards her and she gives me a very unexpected, very tight hug.

"Alright then, we have a tradition in art class, we usually do it in the beginning of the year but since you are new and this is your first day," she raises her eyebrow at me," we cannot stray from tradition." Okay I'm a little scared. "You see sweetheart we all find ourselves, and our tradition in this class is to find what color your name is associated with, but you see your name is so FANTASTIC its a color on its own. Now, come class." Suddenly I'm alone in the centre of the classroom.

"Don't worry it all washes out"

Washes out? Huh? What the F..root loops?

One by one I am marked, like this is f-ing branding! Each classmate takes their brush and draws a line on my body, face, thank the Cereal Gods nobody touched my hair. And its all the same color, purple, violet. Violet.

Miss J then gave us ketchup (tomato sauce) and told us to be creative and I was told to stay a pretty purple flower for the rest of the day, yay.

As I walk out the classroom I bumped into a familiar cinder blok body. SHI..erbit
Him.
