~~~Violet's POV~~~
My first lesson of the year, which was Spanish, was of course boring and no one is ready to start learning again. For me the class is pretty easy seeing as I'm Latina and both my parents speak Spanish. I was born in England but my roots are Hispanic.
We just went trough a couple of texts to make sure we didn't forget everything about the language and how to speak it.
Psychology was 2nd and it was so much fun like always,it's my fun subject.
I do Spanish,PE, Chemistry and Psychology for my A-levels.I am even doing all 4 of them for A2 which is absolutely crazy and I know that I am going to regret it in the future but for now I am motivated to make it work.
I need Spanish for Languages because Interpol and FBI like people that speak multiple languages. PE, obviously I like fitness and you need to be fit to be in that kind of work. Chemistry I wanted to do if my law stuff didn't plan out. Like I said Psychology is my fun subject that interests me but I don't necessarily need but want to study since I think it's going to be something useful no matter what my job is.
Our break just finished so it's time for 3 and 4th lesson which for me is double PE, but I don't mind. PE clears my mind and releases my anger and frustration that I have to hide otherwise.
I make my way to my locket to get my PE kit and when I have it I make my way to the changing rooms, because we are sixth former's and the oldest in the school, we are allowed to wear whatever sportswear we want and not the one we wore for 5 years while we were younger. Thank God, I hated those with a passion!
The changing rooms are nearly empty because not many girls do PE as an A-level, they are too lazy or don't need it for later.
I see Lea in out normal changing place so I make my way over to her.
In case you didn't guess, Lea is my best friend since we were born because our mothers and fathers have known each other since high school and yes my parents were high school sweethearts and had the love you watch and read about.
I have an older brother who is 21 and currently in his last year in uni. His name is Josh and he is the best brother you could ask for but I rarely even see him. He nearly never comes home from uni because dad is always working and not home and he doesn't have much to do other than babysit his younger sister, which is not his top priority or wish.
My mum died from cancer and we've all not been the same since.
I try and shake the sad thoughts from my head as I set my school bag and gym kit next to Lea. She still hasn't noticed me so I decode to give her a little scare. I stand behind her and poke her sides making her squeal and jump in the air and making me laugh like always,by the way she is REALLY ticklish.
She turns around and gives me a death glare that others would cower over but I'm still laughing.
"Hey bestie." I greet her finally after my laughing fit. She is still glaring at me but I can see her fighting a smile.
"Hey flamingo." she greets back with the nickname she knows I don't like. Stereotypical, yes but she calls me flamingo because I'm Hispanic and we dance the Flamenco which to her is close enough to the animal.
We quickly get changed after that, not needing pointless chitchat between us, we have learned to communicate with looks and body language.
We walk out to meet our teacher and to find out what we're doing but when we go into the hall we see the boys and their teacher and no sign of a female teacher.
You know when you were younger you hated having to walk past the boys PE class because you felt weird and like you were being stared at, well time that by 100 and you have my situation.
I can confidently say that me and Lea are the only close to normal girls in this class. All the rest are the school sluts, including Lacy and all her friends. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have Lea here with me.
Me and Lea are wearing sports leggings, you know the ones you can't see through. Mine are black and her's are purple and we have matching red tank tops over our sports bras.
The other girls however take advantage that we can wear what we want to dress like their reputation. They all are wearing the same black shorts that look more like underwear or a belt than workout gear and a tight pink crop top that is just a strip of material barely covering their push up bras.
Most of the boys of course are loving all the flashing of the skin but there is a group of 3 boys that have their backs turned to us and when the twins look up to what the commotion is about they don't stare at the half naked girls but at me and Lea.
That's when I recognize the twin with the browns eyes from Ashton's football team yesterday. He smiles at me but his twin has frozen on Lea and who could blame him.
I'm guessing that the 3rd guy with his back to us is Ashton and I get a little nervous walking to them, well more like being dragged by Lea.
The twins must have told him something or noticed that they are no longer listening to him because he turns around as well and my heart stops for a beat. I know, so cliche but I can't help it.
He is wearing basketball shorts and a white wife beater shirt that showcases his muscles to perfection.
He first sees the other girls because they are squealing and falling over the guys that are paying them attention and the look on his face is priceless, his face shows pure disgust. He then looks at Lea and back at the twin with blue eyes and smirks a little, obviously seeing what I did.
Finally he takes his eye off of the twin and Lea and meets my eyes with his startling green eyes and his face suddenly holds a massive genuine smile.
He stands up and makes his way over to me, meeting me in the middle. From the corner of my eye I can Lea looking at both of us like we are aliens but shrug knowing she will get all the information out of me later.
When we are close enough we look at each other for maybe 5 seconds, while still smiling like idiots, not quite sure what to do so we do what comes naturally.
He wraps his arms around my waist the same time mine make their way around his neck, the same warmth and shocks go through my body like this morning.
This morning I thought I screwed up and hugged him for too long and creeped him out but I'm glad that's not the case because I love being in his arms.
Everyone around us is suddenly quiet, probably seeing room for new gossip and I hear Lea whistling our private whistle, so I reluctantly pull out of his embrace again.
We smile a little at each other knowing that we were hugging for too long again. We turn around and make our way over to our friends. Ashton exchanges glances I can't understand with one of the twins, the one that plays football because the other is too busy talking with Lea.
I sit down next to her and she still hasn't noticed that we've joined them, I exchange a smirk with the brown eyed twin. I really need to learn their names, this is confusing!
I sit behind her so my legs are open and are at both sides of her hips and move closer to her back, when I'm close enough I carefully move my arms so they are nearly circling her waist and then quickly I wrap my arms around her and start tickling her but trapping her with my legs so she can't escape.
She screams and starts trying to get away from me and the guys are all nearly crying with laughter while the one she was talking to was smiling slightly and looked at her with adoration in his eyes. All the other guys in the gym are looking at us with a mix of amusement and lust while the girls are scowling and throwing silent hissy fits trying to gain back the attention.
I decide to grant Lea mercy and stop tickling her. The second I let go of her she turns around and scowls while hitting me repeatedly.
"That is twice you've done that today! I'm gonna get you back, flamingo!" She screams in my face while I'm laughing but I glare at her when she uses her nickname for me. She is only allowed to say it in private and she just basically screamed it to the people I have to see for another year.
That earned another round of laughs from everyone.
Finally the teacher Mr Dave made his way into the gym and silencing my embarrassment, for now.
"Ok, I know you are probably wondering why you are together and I'm going to tell you but I can see that you all get along so I hope there will be no drama in my lessons this year." he starts off his speech.
"This year we are mixing the girls and the boys, as you can all see. Now for the first sport of the half term you will be put into 4 teams of mixed genders. You will playing football so girls remember to bring football boots or something better than running shoes. You have 5 minutes to talk among yourselves so I can set up the field and then we will begin." With that he turns around and makes his way to the sports cupboard and the whole room explodes in sudden noise and chatter.
I turn back around to face the little circle we are in and see that I am next to one of the twins and Ashton, while Lea is nearly glued to the other twin's side.
Ashton turns to me and starts introducing me to the twins, but who can guess that Lea already knows one of their names?
"This is Blake and he is my best friend and that over there is Jace his twin brother." he says giving brief introductions.
So Blake is the twin with the blonde hair and brown eyes while Jace is the one talking to Lea and he has blonde hair as well but has blue eyes instead.
"Nice to meet you." I reply to Jace and turn next to me to add to Blake. "Nice to see you again." and he smiles at me, remembering yesterday.
"Nice to see you too babe." he replies making Ashton next to me frown. Why is he frowning? "I didn't get your name though beautiful." he smirks at me again, I get the feeling that he does that a lot.
"I'm Violet." I reply.
The first hour of gym class goes by pretty quickly with us just doing some warm up drills and we were a little slow because some of the girls were complaining why we had to do football. I mean how clueless can you be? It was the world cup a couple of months ago.
At the start of the second lesson we are put into our teams and thank god I have Ashton, Blake, Jace and Lea all in my team. What luck!!
The other girls are split into the other 3 teams. I think Mr Dave doesn't like the other girls so he let us stay together and kept his 2 best football players together, better for us. They are already used to playing together.
We only have 5 people in each team because there are only 8 girls and 12 boys. That makes it pretty easy to split into teams, having 2 girls and 3 boys in each team.
We are going to have kind of a tournament in our PE lessons and we have to play the other 3 teams and the team with most points wins. The scoring is the same as in the World Cup.
3 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss.
Of course I have the amazing luck to be playing against Lacy's team first. To be honest I only know her name from her group the rest to me are just bimbos that follow her everywhere. It's like they don't have their own life without her.
Talk about Mean Girls in real life.
I am going to have so much fun beating her. I mean I have 2 football players in my team while paying football, we pretty much have this in the bag.
Because there are not many of us, we are not playing in position but the only person that doesn't have to move is the goal keeper and in our team that's Jace. The rest of are just playing wherever we can.
I have been playing football with my dad since I was little so I knew a lot about the game and have had a lot of practice. Me and my dad play every weekend, well used to before mum died, now we haven't played since last October when she got sick.
I make my way to the field that has 2 goal posts and stand kinda in the middle , more in an attacking position. I don't really have a specific role, I like to play the whole field which is totally not a metaphor for my love life.
Blake and Ashton are in the middle because we won the ball, by playing rock,paper, scissors. I know how grown up are we?
The other teams are not playing because we only have one football field and the teacher blows the whistle and Ashton and Blake are off.
The other team's defence runs to them and tries to tackle them, not so gently if I might add. I just run ahead of them and look at Ashton because Blake is currently dribbling with the ball. Ashton sees that I'm going ahead and gives me a nod to say that he knows what I'm doing.
Lea has stayed behind as defence and probably to be near Jace, she is the flirty one of us, if you couldn't tell but it is awesome having such a confident best friend who can get whoever she wants.
I make sure to be on site but who cares, this is school not the championship's. Blake is really fast with dribbling the ball and passes it to Ashton who is in the middle and everyone thinks that he is going to take the shot but he angles his body to the right, where I am and kicks it up and into the penalty box, not aiming for the goal.
I run forward and I hear a couple of gasps but I ignore them. I stop the high ball with my chest and without it falling on the ground I kick it hard into the back of the net.
I hear more gasps and cheering from the other team, I guess they weren't expecting a girl to be able to play but to be fair I nearly didn't get it because the ball was a little too high and I had to jump to get it.
Then I feel arms wrap around my middle and lift me up to spin me around. The arms don't feel familiar so I'm guessing it's Blake that has confused me for a rag doll.
"Put me down! I'm not a rag doll!" I shout at the person behind me, making him laugh.
"OK, I think someone else what's to congratulate you." with that he is off and Ashton is standing behind me with his arms crossed over his chest, with a small frown on his face up until Blake let's go of me. I though they are friends?
Lea is hugging Jace and not having a thought to congratulate me, the person that scored the goal but I'm happy for her.
I make my way to Ashton and a smile graces his face making mine break out into a grin. He opens his arms wide and just stands there waiting for me.
I start running towards him not caring that we are causing a scene.I jump up into his arms that are around my waist and my legs are now around his.He spins me around, making me laugh with joy.
I haven't been this happy in a long time. He kisses my cheek and whispers in my ear.
"Well done, babe." with that he winks at me,sets me down and walks away.
The girls are giving me death looks while some of the guys still have their mouths open and some are looking at me like prey.
To say we won was an understatement. We won 4-0. I scored another goal and Blake and Ashton also scored one. Ashton's goal was awesome, it was a backward's scissors, bounced in front of the goalkeeper and into the net, I would be lying if I didn't say that watching him was totally hot.
We were now making our way to the changing rooms. Ashton had his arm around my shoulders and Jace had his arm around Lea the same as me.Blake was the only one without his arm around a girl. He was walking next to me and pouting like a little kid.
Then suddenly he wraps his arms around my knees and lifts me up over his shoulder. I was laughing while telling him to put me down but when he smacked my butt, my instinct kicked in and he was on the floor in a couple of seconds.
"Woah, I didn't mean anything by it."Blake looked at me alarmed while another pair of arms took me off of him and into his warm embrace.
"Shh, it's OK. Shh." Ashton was soothing me and gliding his arms up and down my back.
I relax a little but flashbacks are still playing through my mind. I faintly hear Lea saying something to Ashton.
"She doesn't let anyone touch her when the flashbacks start." her voice is only faint and the next second I see nothing but darkness.
*************
~~~Ashton's POV~~~
I am panicking!
One minute she was shaking in my arms and the next she is dead weight and unconscious.
I've never had anyone faint on me and the fact that I'm becoming attached to this girl is not helping lessen my worrying.
Lea is freaking out as much as me but she is showing it and right now is running towards the school to get a teacher. I currently have her in my arms and even though she is dead to the world, I feel so alive.
We reach the main office and I don't want to take her to the nurse's office because it's so small and she will feel worse and not better.
"Please can you call my mum and tell her that I'm going home and call Violet's dad to tell them that I'm taking her home with me." The teacher looks a bit taken back at me ordering her but she looks at the unconscious girl in my arms.
She quickly phones both our parents and they gives me permission to leave the school.
I get out the gates and put Violet into my car and drive to my house.
I go into my house with Violet still in my arms and she still hasn't woken up. I go up the stairs and into my room and place her onto my bed and take off her trainers as she is still in her sports wear.
I go downstairs into our kitchen to make her ice tea and something to eat before she wakes up.
She has been out for an hour now and I want to kill Ian for doing this to her. She might not be with him now but he still has an impact on her life.
I want to help her get her life back.
I know today Blake was being all touchy with her to piss me off and I'm reluctant to say that I was extremely jealous. How can someone I met yesterday have such a massive impact on me and my life? It's like I want to do everything to fit her into it and see her every day.
I am going to ask her to be my girlfriend but not today, I don't know if it's going to be this week or month but I just know that I want her in my life and no one else is going to have her.
I put everything on a tray and take it up to my room, she was coming back from the sounds she was making, I think she is dreaming now and not completely out. I put the tray on the bedside table and then sit down next to her on the bed.
I gently take some hair off of her face and start whispering to her to wake up and let me see her deep brown eyes.
She wakes up slowly as if she's not sure that she is really awake or still dreaming. She slowly opens her eyes and again I'm lost in her warm brown eyes.
"Where am I?" she asks softly and I wonder if she can sing with a voice like hers.
"You're in my house. You fainted." I say to her softly because I've fainted before and when you come about again every sense is in overload.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Is Blake OK?" she asks and is now leaning against the bedpost.She looks so right being here and it feels right, me taking care of her.
"Yeah, he's OK just worried about you." I had gotten a text from him on the way here. They all had to go back to lesson and for some reason I was allowed to stay with her, not that they would have been able to keep me away.
I take the glass of ice tea and hand it to her and she looks at me gratefully.
I stand up from the bed and make my way to in front of the bed to the far wall and put down the projector so we can watch a movie. I look back to her and ask her what movie we should watch, I don't want to think about how good she looks in here.
"What about a comedy?" she looks at me and when I was about to answer she looks like she has the best idea in the whole world.
"Do you have Rush Hour?" she leans forward on her hand so she is on all fours and I really don't want to think of the position, considering she just fainted and was out for an hour. She looks so sexy but adorable at the same time, like a little kid on Christmas.
"Yup, you like it?" I ask with a smile, that movie is a classic!
"Like it? I LOVE IT!" she exclaims and lifts her arms to clap but she wasn't leaning on her legs so she face palmed on the bed with a hear able OOF from her. I burst out laughing at her falling flat on my bed with her butt still sticking up in the air.
She lifts only her head and glares at me.
"Will you just play the damn movie." she huffs and leans back safely against the head board again, while I am still laughing at her.
I make my way to her and look at her to see if she is OK with me being in the same bed as her, with everything that has happened to her.She must have seen the question on my face because she speaks.
"It's OK. I trust you won't do anything, also you make me feel safe but if you try anything then get ready for a trip to the hospital." the last part she murmurs under her breath like it was only meant for her but I heard it and it makes me smile widely at her, well everything but the threat.
I lay down next to her and lean back into the head board as well and play the movie. We are close enough that our arms touch and that's sending electric currents through my body.
The rest of the night we are just content with being together and during the movie I couldn't resist doing the yawn and arm thing, just to make her smile, which she did.
At around 7pm I took her home and gave her a kiss on the cheek and make my way home. That night I slept better than I have in the past 2 years.
