Darken my love

Chapter 3 (Part 1)

"Are you mad?" Vivan asked once Tom was out of sight the next morning in the school because I pretty much avoided any contact with my family after yesterday's incident. I had never been to such a condition before so it shook me but also felt kinda familiar. I stepped forward and briskly walked to my locker, not bothering to answer her. Near my locker, there was a mob of girls standing, probably waiting for me. I sighed and tapped on blondie's shoulder who let me had access to my locker. I heard some girl's sigh in relief when I turned around to them. I crossed my arms and leaned against the locker, ready to hear them.

"Violet, we need a tutor for Economics and I heard you are good at it. Can you help us after school?" The round glasses girl said as I looked at all of them, some I knew some I didn't.

"She is not a tutor!" Tom cut me in from behind girls, who scooted to make way for him. He stood by me and shook his head at me disappointingly at me then turning to them. "No, she's not. She usually helps people because she wants to, now don't suffocate her. Go away, shoo!" He said firmly. A girl was about to interject but he cut her in, too. "I said No! Economics is not even her subject but she will research and prepare it overnight for you people. You? Aren't you the one who threw her in the lake last summers?" he asked leaning forward and narrowed his eyes. The girl scoffed and all the girls scurried off.

I looked at curly platinum blonde hairs who was shaking her head in anger. I faintly remembered her from the previous year, she was in Agriculture and when we were on a field trip, she pushed me to the lake, I never got to figure out why I didn't know swimming when I was on the verge of drowning, someone informed Tom who saved me. I was on the bed rest for weeks due to my Aquaphobia. Now she dared to come to me and asked me for help in studies, due to her I'd never been able to enjoy our trip without my fear of water. I wasn't the one who hold grudges against someone but she had caused great damage in my life.

"Vi?" I snapped out of my thoughts and averted my gaze to Tom and a boy behind him, I didn't notice him before. I smiled assuringly to Tom who sighed and hugged me, tight. It was his version of saying 'Its gonna be Ok' Someone cleared his throat and we both pulled back, not completely, Tom had an arm around my shoulder and mine around his waist.

"Matt. It's Violet, my sister. Vi, It's Matt" He introduced us and smiled cheekily at me. I smiled at Matt in acknowledgment. "I don't think so, I have to say this but she is off-limits for you" Tom said pointing his finger to Matt who scoffed disapprovingly. "Of course, asshole" He said smiling at me. Tom then greeted me and went to his class with Matt who was chuckling and wrapped an arm around Tom's shoulder. He was a pretty good guy for Tom, I thought. Same personality. Almost the same appearance. Black hairs, white skin, maroon shirt with Neon green jacket on it, and black jeans. Somewhat similar to Tom. I never knew Tom's obsession with bright colors in his jackets and I guess Matt had the same obsession too.

....

The bell knocked me out of thoughts and I hurried to my third class before warning bell. I noticed red hair in the corner of the hallway with a black hoodie boy in front of her. Was he bothering her? But Vivan's loudest laugh said otherwise. I decided not to confront her as I was still pissed about yesterday's stunt so I decided to made my way inside.

"Hey?" A girl stood by my side asking my attention, I pulled ear pods out of my ears smiling apologetically at her. "You are Violet? Violet Somerhalder?" she asked scratching her arm with her hand in nervousness. Let me just say, she was prettiest, strawberry blonde hairs with bangs on forehead, light blue jeans, and dark blue sweater on a white shirt. 5'5'' with the prettiest figure ever. You know those kinds of people who gain the attention of everyone without even asking when they stand in crowd people look at them mesmerized. I realized I was staring at her as she shifted under my gaze, I nervously chuckled looking away.

"Yes." I cleared my throat and answered her, she blew air out sighing in relief.

"Actually, I am new here and they asked me if I know someone, I don't. So the lady on the front desk asked me to meet you as you'll guide me better." she gave me her map and class schedule. I read it, guided her through the map, and got up.

"Here. lemme show your 'Marketing Class' " I lead her to the class next door where the teacher hadn't come. I entered the class and opened the door for her, she got in nervously and studied the whole class who fell silent seeing us. I spotted Tom with Matt in the far corner of the class and lead her there. They both were laughing something on Tom's phone as I approached them.

"Tom, this is..." I trailed off looking at her and she quickly answered. "Elizabeth" I smiled at her in assurance.

"Elizabeth, this is Tom, my brother, and Matt, his friend" I introduced both of them as Matt stood up to bow.

"I am her friend too" he muttered mock glaring at me, I shrugged smiling sheepishly.
