SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

The Next Morning, in the Arts&Crafts room, I'm sitting at the round table, with my arms folded, spaced out.

Violet (VO) If I don't breakup with Aaron, Eleanor Reese will destroy him. So, I have to protect him.

"Violet?" Aaron said.

I look at Aaron. "Hey, Aaron." and gets up to my feet and slowly walks up to him. "We can't be together anymore."

"What are you talking about?" Aaron asked me, a bit confused, and then, he realizes what I'm trying to do. "This is Eleanor Reese, isn't it?"

"Aaron?" I said.

"She threatened to hurt me if you didn't breakup with me." Aaron said to me.

"Aaron, I kissed Jonny. I've always loved him. You've been nothing to me but a romantic distraction." I tell him with tears forming in my eyes. "We can't be together anymore, Aaron. I'm sorry."

"Violet?" Aaron said.

I walks away from him, walking out of the Arts&Crafts room and into Miss. Leuven's guidance counselor's office.

I pull my phone out and dials Eleanor Reese's phone.

"Hi, Little Brat. Is it done?" Eleanor Reese asked me on the phone.

"Yeah. I broke up with my boyfriend, Aaron. He and I aren't together anymore." I tell Eleanor Reese.

"Good. You're almost there to embracing your inner darkness, Violet. That cut wound on your right cheek is just the start of your dark transformation." Eleanor Reese said.

TAVERN BODGE LOCAL BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE

I'm sitting at a round lounge table with my ice cream sundae with a spoon.

"Hey, Tough Nut." Pinkie said, sitting at the round lounge table across from me. "What's the gloomy cloud over you?"

"Nothing much." I said.

"Really, Violet? Gloominess isn't a cute thing for you." Pinkie said.

"My life is becoming crap. My arch-nemesis is a sadistic diabolical psychopath. And I don't know what to do. So, pardon me, my gloominess, Pinkie." I said to her.

"You know, your older sister, Violet, talks about you sometimes. How tough you are, how smarty pants you are. And how much of a badass you are. But you, Violet Benton, you don't give up either. And actually, I admire you." Pinkie said to me, and looks at Cherry. "Who's the redheaded teen?"

I look at Cherry. "Cherry?"

Cherry walks up to me. "Hi, Violetquinn. I would like to chitchat with you."

"I'll see you around." Pinkie said, getting up and walking away.

Cherry sits down across from me at the round lounge table. "I would like to have a Cobra jacket?"

"You have to asks Boni." I said.

"What can I do to get a Cobra jacket?" Cherry asked me.

"I don't know, Cherry." I said to her, eating a spoonful of my ice cream sundae.

"You did a pole dance." Cherry said.

"Firstly, Boni had known that I've been wanting to become a Cobra for a while. And secondly, I did a pole dance to annoyingly spite her." I said to Cherry.

"So, I'll asks again, what can I do to get a Cobra jacket?" Cherry asked me.

"And I'll say again, Cherry, I don't know." I said, but a glint of mischievous occurs in my dark brown eyes. "But I may have an idea of how."

Cherry smirks.

a minute afterwards...

[Song: That's My Girl - Fifth Harmony]

Cherry and I slowly walks out of the changing room at the Tavern Bodge. She and I exchange smiles at each other as we slowly walks out of the Tavern Bodge.

[Song ends]

OAK VALLEY FOR TROUBLED PEERS

That afternoon, Cherry and I slowly walks into the back door of the Oak Valley. She and I slowly walks down the hallway.

"Why are we here again?" Cherry asked me.

"You know I get uneasy vibes, and so, I've gotten one from Miss. Bergstine. She knows something, but she's frightened." I said.

"So, you're doing your Scooby-Doo thing?" Cherry said to me.

"You can go home and Pictagram if you want, Cherrypoo and I'll do this myself." I said to her.

Cherry scoffs. "Fine."

Cherry and I slowly walks further down the hallway and into the main room. Miss. Bergstine is having one of her therapy sessions group.

"Miss. Bergstine?" I said.

Miss. Bergstine looks at me and excuses herself, getting up and slowly walks up to me. "Violet? What are you doing here?"

"Eleanor Reese threatened you didn't she?" I asked her.

"Yes." Miss. Bergstine said. "I have photos in my drawer. But Eleanor Reese has eyes and ears here in Oak Valley."

"Cherry?" I said.

"I'll get the photos." Cherry said, walking away.

"Do you know anything about a drug lab here in Oak Valley?" I asked her.

"There's a secretive small drug lab upstairs. Eleanor Reese has a few of her lackeys making some drug pills." Miss. Bergstine informs me. "Eleanor Reese would destroy me."

"I have a best friend of mine, she's a Special Agent. She put you in protective custody." I said.

"Protective custody will not keep me safe from Eleanor Reese. And you and I know both what she's capable of, Violet." Miss. Bergstine said.

"I got the photos." Cherry said, slowly walking back up to Me and Miss. Bergstine.

"Miss. Bergstine? I'm a Cobra. And I know two Cobras that can keep you safe." I said.

Miss. Bergstine gently nods. "I'll try, Violet."

TAVERN BODGE LOCAL BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE

That night, Cherry and I are sitting at a round lounge table with Boni and Pinkie.

"Boni? Pinkie? I need you guys to protect Miss. Bergstine from Eleanor Reese. Can you guys do that for me?" I asked Boni and Pinkie.

"Yeah, sure, of course." Boni said.

"Okay, and thanks." I said.

"You're welcome." Pinkie said.

HAYFIELD HOME

I gently knocks on the door. And it opens. Aaron is there. He and I exchange small smiles at each other.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey, V." Aaron said, slowly walking out of his house, closing the door behind him.

"I know we're temporarily broken up, but I wanted to check on you." I said to him.

"I'm okay. And I know that you said those false things to protect me from Eleanor Reese. I get that. And I love you for being my Knight In Purple Armor, but you can't handle Eleanor Reese by yourself." Aaron said to me.

"I'm not." I said.

"Just be careful, okay? You know what Eleanor Reese is capable of. And you, nor the guys, and not even Meredith, Maggie and your Uncle Sheriff Dave, doesn't have any idea of what Eleanor's up to or scheming, so, just be careful." Aaron said to me, worriedly.

"I will, Aaron." I said, and plants a kiss on his forehead.

Aaron and I exchange small smiles at each other.

I slowly walks inside my house, gently closing closing the door behind me. And slowly walks inside the living room and becomes annoyed at Eleanor Reese herself is sitting in a armchair.

"Hi, Violet. You and I need to have a chitchat." Eleanor Reese said.
