*Violet's POV*
(June)
You call it cowardice if you want, but hiding our relationship from our friends has been an amazing adventure.
We've literally been sneaking around all school year.
Now, it's summertime.
Nothing in my way to stop us from doing 18-year-old things.
We're big kids now.
Well, Clementine is 18, and I'm turning nineteen in like... 2 months.
So yeah, we're adults.
Clem is basically more adult than me because she has her own place, car, and cats which she treats like babies...
Sometimes I get jealous.
But that besides the point.
We all got accepted to Ericson's University, thanks to Clem making us keep up our grades, and we just graduated high school.
Can life be any better?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Even though Clem wanted a cup full of ice, she got a Slurpee.
It's not because I do what I want, it's because their fucking ice machine is down.
Like, what the fuck?
McDonald's can really annoy me sometimes, but they highkey have the best nuggets, so I stan them.
.............
All these steps...
The fucking elevator is down.
I can't even think right now.
I can't fucking breath. (vine reference.)
I knocked on the door to Clementine's apartment.
"Clem... Open... door." I barely got it out through the many attempts to catch my breath.
I could hear her soft chuckles through the door.
She cracked the door open and smiled.
"Hey, babe." I greeted her with a huge smile
"Hey. Ice machine was down?" She noted that the cup wasn't full of ice.
"You know it." I huffed, putting the cup and bags down on the table.
"I got you something to eat because I know you haven't eaten anything today... Well, you haven't had the chance until now." I explained my reasoning to her, sitting down on her couch.
"I could've just made something. You didn't have to do that."
"That's too much. You deserve to sit back and get treated like... a queen."
"You're so sweet." She sighed, knowing I wouldn't drop it.
"Did you eat?" She turned to me, eyebrow raised and a hand on her hip.
"No, but I'll be alri-"
"Did you get yourself something to eat?"
"No."
"I'm making you something to eat. You have no choice."
"Clem, just eat your food, I'm fin-"
"You have no choice." She cut me off yet again.
"What're you making?" I sighed in defeat.
"Your second favorite; oatmeal. And I'm making it the fancy way because you deserve it." She had a stern tone coating her voice while she stood on her tippy toes trying to reach the pots.
"What's the fancy way?" I chuckled at her randomness.
"Well, It's going on the stove... If I can reach the pots." She grunted, still failing to reach the middle of the cabinet, aka where the pots were.
"Can you help me?" She put her hands on her hips and turned around with her eyebrows furrowed.
"Customer service is on its way."
"You've been hanging around Louis way too much." She giggled, noticing his personality starting to rub off on me.
"Well, we have been best friends since we were like... 14. Its been 10 years. " I shrugged my shoulders.
"I kinda like it... " She watched me walk from the couch to toward her with a smile.
"Ew, why?" I cringed at the thought of me becoming a Louis 2.0.
"I don't know, but it makes me smile."
"Clem, wait, it's too hot for oatmeal. Just thinking about it makes me sweat. It's like 95 degrees outside."
"Pancakes and bacon?"
"YES. I fucking love your pancakes."
"What about my bacon?" Clem fake pouted.
"No shade toward the bacon. It's equally delicious."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Vi?" Clem turned around from the pancakes that were cooking.
"Yeah?" I replied, looking up from my phone.
"Do you think we should tell our friends? It's been a year going on two."
"It's been that long? Shit."
"Don't avoid the question." She flipped the pancake with a chuckle.
"Alright... Well um, If you're ready, then we can tell them. Louis is just gonna tease us endlessly."
"He's gonna get kicked in his balls every single time."
"Let's tell them!"
"Do you wanna tell them in person, or..." Clem started another topic.
"In person. I want you to kick Louis in the balls and it's been long enough... and I'm sorry if you didn't wanna hold it back for that long... I know you would have rathered to tell them sooner." I got more serious toward the end, taking her feelings into consideration.
"I know but, it didn't make me uncomfortable. It was fun keeping it a secret." She basically forgave me without saying she forgives me.
"What time are we meeting up with them?" I looked back up from my phone again while texting Louis.
"Two works for us. We don't have any plans." She shrugged her shoulders, putting the pancakes and bacon on the plate.
-------------------
Piano Bitch: what time are yall coming? 12:53
Piano Bitch: Hellooooo? 12:56
Me: We'll be there at 2. 12:57
Piano Bitch: See you then. I'll let the others know. 12:58
-------------------
"He said two is good."
"Yeah, I know. We're only 18 and 19. What would we be doing on a Sunday at 2 pm?"
I stared at her, fighting a laugh, thinking about Ruby who's faithful to church.
"Except Ruby." She put the plate down in front of me with a grin.
I eyed the plate down, barely even breathing, practically drooling before Clem laughed.
"Violet, go ahead and eat. We don't have all day."
"We've got 45 minutes to kill." I checked the time with my mouth full of pancakes.
"I know."
"Let me rephrase that... Quickie?"
"Violet, no."
-------------------
Every time I drive with Clem, I get carsick.
Well... I just get more dramatic because sometimes I swear I'm gonna die.
Of course, we showed up to our meet up ten minutes late because...
Turns out, the quickie wasn't so quick.
Clem is still red, I didn't get to brush my teeth, so my breath smells like- all I'm gonna say is that I have a strong aroma right now.
.....
We just walked into the mall and Louis already spotted us.
Especially Clem with her pink crop top and her light blue ripped jeans.
A white t-shirt and grey shorts worked out for me.
Louis' face lit up and he yelled, "Hey guys! We're over here!"
"So, quick plan. How are we gonna tell them?" I looked down at Clem because she's severely short.
"You can tell them whenever you're ready. Just let me know when you're gonna do it." She shrugged, still sipping on her slushie from earlier.
"wHY Do I haVE tO tELl ThEm?"
"Because you wanted to keep a secret in the first place and because you love me." She looked back at me, smiling over her shoulder which always made my heart flutter.
"Fine." I only agreed because I had a trick up my sleeve.
"Hey, guys." Louis jumped up and hugged us after we approached the table.
"Hey... HELLO TO YOU GUYS TOO." I looked at the rest of the group, catching their attention from their phones.
They waved and went back to texting.
"Violet, you smell like..." Louis started whispering in my ear, proceeded to look around to see if anyone was listening.
"Coochie." He giggled like a child.
"I know." I blankly replied.
"I wish I could relate. Aasim is going through this thing and suddenly he's saying he wants to wait till marriage."
"But you guys already-"
"That's what I said."
"That makes no sense."
"He said he grew his virginity back and wants to stay pure."
"wHAT?" I scream laughed.
I couldn't help it.
That was fucking hilarious.
"It'll be over in a day. He can't keep himself away from me. He tried so hard not to give in last night. He could barely resist these chizzled abs and good looking face." He gloated, earning a look of disgust from me.
"It's true. And couldn't resist me either. You still can't." He wiggled his eyebrows.
"Louis, I don't know where you got that shit from, but take it back." I shook my head.
"I see it in your eyes." He grabbed my chin, playfully attempting to swoon me over.
Until I punched him in the chest, catching everyones attention.
"Oh hey, Violet. Hey, Clem." Brody and Marlon waved, coming back to reality.
"Oh shit, you're here? Hey guys." Aasim put his phone in his pocket.
Mitch got up out his chair and stretched; "I didn't even know you guys were here."
He walked past me and stopped.
"You smell like pussy."
"And? You smell like ass." I tried my hardest not to laugh.
"Well, Sophie has this kink-"
"I don't wanna know."
He continued his walk to get a drink from the pretzel stand.
I sat down at the table next to Clementine.
Her cheeks are still pink...
And if I'm not mistaking...
"Clem? I think your neck is bruised." Sophie obliviously touched the love bites I left on her skin.
Louis' face frowned in discomfort when he realized it too.
Clem looked over at me while I was holding my laughter, making my chest hurt.
She narrowed her eyes at me and crossed her arms and nodded her head like it was a challenge.
"Violet, you smell like... vagina." She started our little war.
"You has mosquito bites on your neck."
"Yeah? Well, your face is red."
"And your neck is purple in certain spots."
"And I told you not to- nevermind." She looked down at her phone.
"You could've said no, but we both wanted-"
"Shut up!" She lightly punched my arm.
Everyone looked back up from their phones with wide eyes.
"She smells like coochie... you have hickeys..." Louis' jaw dropped.
"They were fucking!" He squealed, shaking Aasim's head off of his shoulder accidentally.
"Oh my god, they were! Look at their red ass faces!" Sophie added on with a chuckle.
"So, are you two together? Has the ship sailed?" Ruby grinned, hoping we'd say yes.
We both gave her quick head nods.
"MY PRAYER WORKED!" Ruby screamed Happily.
"VIOLENTINE IS IN FULL EFFECT!"
"They've been doing this for like... a year." Aasim sighed.
"He isn't wrong." Clem gave an innocent smile.
Louis gasped loudly.
"OH MY GOD, HOW?"
--------------------------------
Sorry if this was a little boring. I'm gonna start working on the knight AU afterward, then would you catch me if I fall because I have no life nor plans today. So, I appreciate you guys reading. Episode 4 is in F O U R days. By the looks of the trailer, I am not ready for it. I don't wanna say bye to Clem & my babies yet.
