THE FIRST German lesson Violet had was the plain old alphabet. "Is this fucking kindergarten?" Violet asked looking at the paper with the alphabet printed on it. "Es dauert so lange, bis Sie das Alphabet lernen!" Bill said in reply. (it is until you learn the alphabet)

"Nein." Tom laughed at Violets response. "The word 'no' can only get you so far." Bill said and Violet hated that he was right. Violet looked down at the paper again and laughed.

It was practically the same alphabet as the English one, with some special letters with accents. Bill went over the pronunciation of the new letters. Violet kept messing up on ß. "Here." Tom said and grabbed her hand to pull her closer. Tom put his hand on her stomach, "do it again."

Violet tried it again and Tom pushed her stomach and made her puff out air, nailing the pronunciation. Violet laughed and hugged Tom. "And what about me?" Bill asked and Violet got up and hugged him as well. Violet looked down at her watch, "shit, I gotta go."

Violet grabbed the papers and stuffed them into her backpack before hugging Bill goodbye. "Bye, rainbow." Tom said as the door was closing.

Violet grabbed another shirt. She was trying to find the perfect top to go with her bedazzled low rise jeans. She groaned and threw the top. Violet grabbed her phone and pressed on Bill's contact. "Bill, can I borrow one of your shirts?" Violet asked sweetly.

"It's the fact that I know you're doing puppy dog eyes is killing me. But yes." Bill said earning a big squeal from Violet. They didn't call her Violet Legend for nothing. "Pick me up?" Violet asked and Bill said a small 'yes'.

Violet hung up and grabbed her book bag that consisted more of makeup than books. Violet walked down the stairs to the kitchen and saw her mom making breakfast. "Did dad leave already?" She asked snatching a piece of bacon.

"Yes, he gets off early today." Her mom replied and smacked her daughters hand as she was trying to grab another piece of bacon. Violet faked cried and sat down at the table and went on her phone. Five minutes later there was a knock on the door. Violet got up and opened the door to reveal all of the boys. "Good thing my mom makes more food than necessary."

Violet let them in and Bill threw the shirt to her, smacking her in the face. It was a short sleeve shirt that had black and white stripes. Little emo for Violet's taste but it went perfect with her jeans. When Violet returned to the kitchen with Bills shirt on the boys were sitting around the table conversing with her mom.

"I swear if y'all ate all the bacon I'm gonna kill you." Violet threatened the boys, "Violet, me and Tom are vegetarian." All Violet could do was awkwardly laugh and sit next to Bill. They all ate breakfast, Tom and Bill staying away from the meat. "Bye mom!" Violet said following the boys outside.

"Shotgun!" Violet yelled and all the boys scattered. "What the fuck?" Violet shouted and went to the nearest boy. "Gustav, what in the fuck was that?" He said something in German before all the boys came back together, and out of breath. "You don't have shotgunning here, do you?" Violet asked and they all collectively agreed. "Well, it just means I get the front seat." She said, smiling.

Tom was quick to protest. "No way!" Violet rolled her eyes, "first one there gets it." She said and immediately took off running to the car. Tom cursed in German and went after her. Just as Violet was nearing the car, a crash sound occurred. She turned around and saw Tom on the grass. "Holy shit!" She laughed and took her phone out and snapped a picture. "Maybe next time, Tommy."

It was lunch time and Violet hadn't seen the boys since this morning. She just went to the lunch room alone and was getting her food. "There's the purple slut." Violet recognized her from their history class. "What can I do for you, Anna?" Violet asked setting the tray down. Out of the corner of her eye she could see the band walking into the lunch room and saw the group formed around the two girls. "Maybe stop being a slut." Oohs and ahhs were heard around them.

"But where's the fun in that?" Violet asked, purposefully agonizing her. "Just stay away from Bill, me and him have something special." Anna said in response. "Then why am I wearing his shirt?" Violet asked innocently. One second later her eyes were watering and her nose hurt.

Violet brought her hand up to her nose and felt wetness. She looked down and her finger was covered in blood. Violet let out a silent laugh before turning around. "That's what I thought." Anna said. Meanwhile Violet was taking out her belly button ring.

"You can hit harder than that." Violet said turning back around. Seconds later Anna landed another blow to her face. Violet regained her footing before reeling back with her left arm and then switching at the last second to her right one knocking Anna square in the jaw. Before Anna had time to process what happened, Violet landed another hit on her face causing Anna to fall to the floor.

Violet knew she should stop there but all she could see was red. She climbed onto Anna and landed blows after blows on her. Violets hands were covered in blood and aching. Anna's nose was bleeding profusely. Violet felt herself being lifted off of Anna and carried outside.

Violet was set down on a bench and her eyes focused in on Tom as he was the one that was carrying her. Violet blinked and looked down at herself and noticed Bills shirt was covered in blood. "I'm sorry for getting blood on your shirt." She apologized as Tom took her hands and started to clean them with the first aid kit he found. Bill said nothing. He took in her face, she had a split lip and a black eye that was slowly forming.

"Heilige Scheiße." Bill said and Violet looked at him. "You should see the other guy." She joked and winced as Tom poured alcohol on her hands. (holy shit)

"Where'd you learn how to fight like that?" Gustav asked Violet. Violet took a tissue and placed it on her bleeding nose before answering, "I lived in California." Violet tilted her head back to get the bleeding to stop quicker. Police sirens were heard, "shit!" Violet yelled standing up and knocking over Tom in the process.

Before she could make a run for it Bill grabbed her and lifted her up. "Don't make it any worse." He warned Violet and gently set her down before helping his brother up. "You're like a floor magnet." Georg joked seeing him on the ground for the second time that day. "Violet Legend. Come with us." The police officer said with handcuffs in his hands. She groaned and walked over to him and he proceeded to handcuff her.

After explaining herself to the cops she was free to go. It was counted as self defense and Anna would get a punishment for assault. Violet walked out of the station and her mom was waiting for her. With her dad. "Hi, dad." She said innocently.

"You were always a good fighter." Derrick, her father, said and gave Violet a hug and a kiss on the head. "You're lucky you weren't suspended either." Violets mother spoke up as they went into the car. "Who cleaned up your hands?" Violet looked down at her now bandaged hands, "my friend." She said simply.

By the time they got home Violet was exhausted. She hadn't fought someone in awhile. "I'm gonna go take a nap." She told her parents and headed upstairs. Much to her surprise, Tom, Bill, Gustav, and Georg were there. "I'm still taking my nap." Violet announced and walked into her closet and picked out a set of silk pajamas and walked to her bathroom to change.

Violet came out of the bathroom and saw the boys on her couch and the floor, already asleep. "Idiots." Violet mumbled before climbing into her bed and turning the lights off and drifting off.

It was 6:36 pm when Violet woke up. The boys were still sound asleep. Violet got out of her bed and tiptoed to the bathroom. She grabbed a bucket and filled it with water. When it was full she went back to her room.

"Wake up, bitches!" She yelled before dumping the water on them. They all jolted awake and looked at Violet. She cursed before dropping the bucket and started to run. She narrowly escaped Georg's hands when she went to the door. Violet ran out of her room and went straight for the stairs. She could hear the footsteps of the boys behind her. And they were gaining on her, and fast.

"Get back here, V!" Bill yelled out and Violet kept on running. She passed her parents in the kitchen and went for the front door. She didn't know where she was going to go. She barely made it a few steps until she was grabbed by Tom. "Tom! Put me down!" Violet yelled and he started to tickle her. Violet was laughing in pain from the tickling and her backside was getting wet from Toms clothes.

"You're so cold." Violet said in between laughs. Tom set her down and threw off his wet shirt and started tickling her again. Bill, Gustav, and Georg were still inside. They were filling up a bucket with water to dump on Violet while Tom distracted her.

"Payback is a bitch, babe." Tom said in Violet's ear before she was soaked with cold water. "I hate y'all."

"Du liebst uns, Regenbogen"

Violet was now dried off and was sitting in her room with the boys. Bill was sat next to her as she started to paint his nails black. Georg was sitting on the couch flipping through a magazine. Gustav was playing around in Violets makeup, with caution of course. Tom was on his phone. "So, what's it like being in a band?" Violet asked finishing a stroke of polish on Bill's pinky.

"It's amazing at times. But it can get overwhelming. We just got done with our latest tour." Bill said putting his other hand in Violets so she could paint it. Violet nodded softly while putting a layer of polish on Bills thumb. "Look." Gustav said and he had eyeliner all over his face. "Gustav, eyeliner is a bitch to get off." Violet said laughing.

Gustav ran to the bathroom and started to rub water on his face. Violet had finished painting Bills nails by the time Gustav got back. Spoiler alert, he didn't get the eyeliner off. Violet stood up and grabbed the micellar water and gestured to the bathroom.

Gustav finally had the makeup off with the help from Violet. "Let's watch a movie." Georg suggested setting the magazine down, being bored out of his mind. "We should!" Violet screamed unexpectedly.

She ran downstairs and started up the microwave for the popcorn. Violet put the popcorn in the microwave and went back upstairs. "Let's watch Mean Girls!" Violet said turning her tv on and grabbing her Mean Girls dvd and putting it into the player.

Violet ran back downstairs and grabbed the popped popcorn and put it into a big bowl then added extra butter to it before walking back upstairs. The boys were hogging her couch. "Fuckers." Violet said as she settled down on the floor with the popcorn.
