Violet

•chapter twenty three•

-interested-

Walking into school I spring with a little pep in my step.

"Hey amigo!" I jump onto Grey's back as a greeting.

"Why are you so energetic." His boring monotone deep voice asks.

"Because," drag out. "Today I'm am setting you up with Opal!" I declare loudly to him.

"no."

"Isn't her name just so pretty! Just like her!" I gush. "Ugh, you would be the perfect fit for her." I wink.

"no."

"I just think with a little date and a nice talk and you two will get along just fine." I ramble, completely ignoring him. "I mean, just wait for eight more years, and I will see you down the isle with-"

"No." He says sternly looking deeply into my eyes. Which may or may not have caused a slight shiver down my spine.

"why." I whisper partly because of I am frightned of him, but I would never tell him that.

"Violet do-"

"V." I cough interrupting him.

"Violet." He emphasizes. "I am not. Interested." He slams his locker shut.

"Oh! I'm sorry, do you like boys?" I ask looking up at him.

"goddamnit." He turns to walk away.

"you do?" I ask trying to catch up to him. His long legs make it hard to catch up.

"No. Fuck, why do you fucking care." He snaps at me.

"Because... well, I want you to be happy with someone." I smile up at him. I'm just making crap up.

"I'm fine." He says like a girl who's been asked that all day.

"No you're not." I shake my head.

"Violet I'm already interested in someone, and I don't need you playing matchmaker for me."

"You do! Who?" I jump up and down.

"Like I'll fucking tell you."

Slightly offended I wince at the way he says 'you'.

"Fine." I say and debate on whether to stomp away.

"Stop biting your lip."

I release my lip unaware I was even bitting it in the first place.

"Or what?" I challenge him.

He walks away and I'm so infuriated.

"You wanted to be friends! So I'm trying to be a good friend. Why can't you accept my matchmaking abilities." I whimper out the last part.

"Get to class. The bell is about to ring." He yells back.

"Whatever." I roll my eyes and turn on my heel.

Glancing up at the clock I realize have one minute to get to class. Crap. I pick up my speed slightly, and once Grey is out of sight I sprint.

I wouldn't want to show him he's right about me being late to class.

"You're late Miss. Jenson."

"Sorry Mr. Langton." I say defeated.

I take a seat in my chair only for Kyle to lean over.

"I never took you as a bad girl Jenson." He says a little to close. I can feel his hot breath on my ear.

"Get away Kyle." I state, and focus my attention back to Mr. Langton.

"Kyle back off." Opal defends me.

Opal is in this class? Perfect! my matchmaking abilities might be back on track.

Oh, wait- Grey said he was interested in someone. I need to crack that Grey. He's too mysterious! It confuses me 24/7.

Who does Grey like?
