Clementine

Louis and Clementine were walking back to the school, done from free period. She looks at the clock on the wall and it seems to be early, Clementine sighs in relief. She feels her phone buzz in her pocket, she take it out to answer it, accidentally putting it on speaker mode

"Hello?"

"Hi Clemster, how's it going" Clementine gasps and realises it was Lee calling, She turns off the speaker mode and looks at Louis, who looks like he's about to burst out laughing, Lucky for Clementine, there wasn't much people. Unlucky of Clementine; Marlon, and Violet were right behind them

"Hi dad, Everything's alright" She grimaces, she looks at Marlon who looks like is about to laugh along with Louis, Violet elbows him

"I'll call you later dad, I'm heading back from free period and all" Clementine sighs and ends the call. She turns to Louis "Can you forget what just happened?"

Louis bursts out laughing "Clemster? That'll be a new nickname. Wow, how did I not think of that?" Louis teases

"It's alright, Clem." Violet smiles "Something like that has happened to Louis, His mom called him—"

"Shh." Louis shushes the blonde girl, She laughs and they decide to head back in.

Louis heads back in with Clementine, he will not tell anyone else that his mom called him LouLou, It was a embarrassing moment for him.

The school day has ended, Louis walked towards the girl with a baseball cap, Sophie; His girlfriend comes in a shoves the girl away "Want to walk back to the dorms? You have dinner right?"

Clementine falls back, and the force of the red head's push was enough for it to fall to the ground, Sophie kicks it on a near by puddle. Clementine blinks slowly and retrieves the now dirtied hat

Louis realises this and walks towards the girl, ignoring his rude girlfriend. Louis' eyes scan Clementine's hat, the 'D' covered in muck and moist dirt

Louis hands his handkerchief to Clementine so she could wipe the grime off of her hat "Apologise." Louis folds his arms, Sophie scoffs "Are you kidding me? Why are you angry? That hat was already dirty to begin with"

Clementine sighs, This isn't really knew for someone to dirty her dad's hat who's dead by the way. She knows how to clean it properly. But the only thing that doesn't wash off is the blood.

"Drop it, Louis" She gives a small smile "I know how to clean it." Louis smiles at the short girl, Sophie scoffs and hugs her boyfriend, pressing her non-existent chest on him "Let's go?"

Louis opens his mouth to reject his rude significant other, but the girl drags her away from the brunette, the red head sticking her tongue out.

Clementine walks back alone, holding her dirty hat in her hands, touching it with care, like it was broken glass.

She climbs up the staircase and unlocks the door, She's surprised to see Violet there before her, since she usually comes in earlier than her. Violet's very emerald eyes scan her "It's odd to see you without the hat" Clementine smiles, she brings out the small bottle of water and stands infront of her bed 

"Yeah, Sophie got it dirty." Violet's eyebrows furrow, she sighs. "Sophie's kind of like that, she changed after Grade 8." Clementine heads to the bathroom and dips the hat into the lukewarm water

"She has this habit of driving any girl out."

"Why hasn't she driven out Ruby, or Brody?"

"It's because they're dating someone, and clearly not interested in Louis." Clem opens her mouth the speak "Plus i'm not even interested in boys." Clem smiles, as she dries her hat with a cloth, the hat was clean now, it just has to dry now. "I know that"

Clementine sits down and eats a simple snack for dinner, She looks over at Violet and sees she's snacking on a nugget. "Sophie talked to me earlier, you know. And because I care about you, I have to say this, Clem."

"You have to keep a barrier between you and Louis, you know?" Clementine blinks, she has definitely heard something similar to that, from Sophie that is

"I know, Sophie told me. But in a different way I suppose," Violet hums, she continues to eat her chicken nugget "A lot of bad things happened with the girls that liked Louis, some moved states, some stayed hidden, some don't even have friends anymore" Clementine tried to imagine herself in the situation of having to move again, she didn't want to

"I don't think I want to move away again, My caretaker wants me to actually improve" Violet chuckles, she finishes her nugget

"Why were you sent here?" Clementine thinks for a moment, "I thought I told you?"

"Well, you just told us about that," She uses air quotes "But if you don't mind.. what's the full thing?" Clem takes a sip for water and crosses her legs and fiddles with her thumb

"Mmm," Clementine tried thinking of the simplest way to put it "I got into a car accident, which killed my real parents" Clementine breathed sharply "And I got sent here because of self inflicted wounds and all that crap, my dad wants me to stop but I-" Clementine sighs

"It's not something to be said easily" Violet gives a sad smile, she hugs her friend "If it makes you feel better, I got sent here for watching cartoons when I could of called an ambulance for my grandma" The way Violet said it, was too casual to be real

"But If you need to have someone to talk to, I'm here. And so is Louis and the others" Clementine grins, "Thanks, also if there's blood in the trash, I'm sorry about that" Violet blinks

Self harm was something close to Violet, she was stuck with something like that for the first few months she arrived into Ericsons, she stopped when Louis found her doing it in her dorm, Louis, Minerva, and Marlon helped her cope in a healthier way. But she couldn't believe someone so sarcastic and great would do something like that

Violet pats Clementine on the shoulder "I'll get Louis to hide all the blades"

"What, no. Don't do that" Clementine pouted, what was she she supposed to do?

"You need some serious help, take this as a friend saying this." Clementine chuckles "Everyone needs help in this school"

"But Clem, Please consider what I just told you?"

"What, about staying away?"

Violet closes her eyes "No, like give a little friendly barrier. Who knows what Sophie might do"

Clementine sighs "I guess I should, but I'm not that scared of Sophie"

Violet smiles, giving her finger guns "That's good, Clem. Then again, I might be contradicting, but you don't have to follow me." Clementine gives a short laugh "I might follow you, because you're Violet."
