It's our pleasure. -Ms. Frederica

Maria halted narrating the story, her smile shrank significantly, and she was very disgruntled, Violet pitied how Maria was slapped directly after only conveying a belief, but she suddenly determined something, another memory was unlocked. Ms. Charlotte was acting aggressively toward Violet, yelling at Violet "WHAT DID I TELL YOU? NO ENTERING THE BASEMENT, DIDN'T I?" "I-I will never wepeat that." Little Violet answered with a grimace and her head to the ground. "A kid won't learn if not taught" She fell to the ground as Ms. Charlotte was abruptly scratching her, cries and screams, unbearable to hear, pulling Violet by her clothes time after time after time, and repeating the same sentence over and over"WHEN WILL YOU LEARN, JUST- JUST DIE ALREADY!" " I SWEAR I WILL NEVER *cries* I WILL NEVER WEPEAT THAT EVER AGAIN, I SWEAR, I SWEAR." Violet zoned out completely, Maria waved her hands in front of her eyes, trying to grab some awareness.

Hello? Violet, hey Violet!, VIOLET! -Maria

Y-yes. -Violet

Violet was quavering nonstop as if she was getting a fever or suffering from hypothermia, her face, turned pale yellow, and her eyes began to slowly shallow beneath her face, "Wh-what was that" she couldn't believe what she had seen was her mind playing silly tricks, or it was seriously something Violet was remembering just now, it was making her feel sick.

within those seconds she saw those memories, she felt each scratch, each strand of hair getting pulled from its roots, and her heart was beginning to beat ridiculously fast like it had been a drum instrument playing its part. Her palms were sweaty, the cracks of her hands filled with water that had amounts of buckets, and her breath began to crop. Maria had been having her head leaning on her hand, ignoring the food that was by her. In addition to the chaos that Violet was going through hyperventilation was also taking over. Maria obviously heard and saw that Violet was not doing great, she bounced Violet's shoulder, then set the back of her hand onto Violet's wrist, the pulse felt like bubbles were being created every millisecond, Maria stood up from her chair concerned. Violet suddenly was staring blankly at the wall, with no response to what Maria was doing, "It's a panic attack" Maria assured, she looked around her searching for someone's help, no one popped into mind, but Darius and Garridan, to her it was a debate to who shall be picked, no time to squander, she head running to Darius, her legs jiggly like jelly.

D-Darius, I need you to come. -Maria

Not now Maria. -Darius

DARIUS IT'S IMPORTANT. -Maria

Just say it. -Darius

She mumbled into his ear like there was not a second left to spare "VIOLET, SHE IS GOING THROUGH A PANIC ATTACK, I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO" Darius stopped chatting with his friends, and seemed to find it consequential and that only for a couple of seconds, he responded back saying "It's not my business, I'm not a nurse nor a doctor, go ask someone else" Maria felt like pressing poisoning Hemlock down his throat, it was either requesting assistance from Garridan or humiliate Violet by disclosing that she is undergoing a panic attack randomly, "As if Violet needs any more rumors to spread about her" Maria considered, walking to Garridan. Violet was nowhere okay, it was like her vessels began to close and cut the flow of blood, she held the edge of the table, trying to catch her breath, "Sh-she is m-my mother, she- she would n-never damage me." her mind, overpowered, her reflections intimidating her. She stood up still trying to catch her breath. Aconite realized Violet struggling to do something, but she had no idea of why she was acting this way, pointing at Violet as if she was no one at all, "Wh-what is she even doing" she said teasing the situation. Maria did the same to Garridan, shaking him like he had been a salt dispenser, he turned his head to her, which was probably him saying "Spit it out" Maria said loudly "VIOLET, SHE ISN'T DOING ALRIGHT!" He just stared at Violet for a second, viewing all that she was feeling, turned his head, looked at Garridan, and just completed the discussion with his friends he then said not even looking Maria in the eye "Why are you asking me? Go call a nurse or something." "Garridan she is not doing okay, JUST STAND UP! I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CALM HER DOWN" No response was given at all, Maria wanted to rebuke him, but looking around, no one else that knows Violet well enough was around. "Aww, you okay? Something wrong? Need water? Well, you might as well just drink it from the ground" Aconite maliciously streamed a whole cold, water bottle on the ground while Violet just stood there not able to do anything but murmur a couple of words "I-I-I CAN'T- BR-BREATH" Aconite bumped her friend's arm, and whispered something that made them laugh mischievously, Aconite's friend, Clair, conveyed to Violet "Well, I certainly won't blow a fan by your mouth. What happened? Did you suddenly picture the misery you'll be having here?" Maria quickly clutched a cup filled with water from a random table, it was clean, and the cold fog was still seen on the cup intact. She walked back and without a doubt splashed most of the water onto the four girls: Aconite and the rest of her other three friends that were more like ducklings following each step of their mother. The four were astonished, the cold icy water was tingling their skin "ARE YOU INSANE?!" "You can call me many names but I know I'm saner than you." She then gave the rest of the cold water to Violet, and everyone in the cafeteria was giving stares. Violet chugged the water like it had been her last time to do that, Aconite picked a flower from Maria's hair and crushed it on the ground, Maria was held back by Violet before an argument would flash "She is doing this to gain awareness from everyone in the academy, so don't do anything." Violet said, while there was a tint of anxiousness in her voice, Maria agreed and just walked away, holding Violet's arm to oblige her in taking a few steps without tripping. Darius was still there, glancing at Violet while she was still inhaling very long breaths, did he run across the room to aid Violet? No, he was still chitchatting with his group, and so was Garridan.

Violet, we should go to the clinic, come on let's go. -Maria

N-No, I'm not going there. -Violet

Violet, this is not a choice to negotiate neither was it a request. -Maria

Maria, that- *points at the cafeteria from behind* was already a major catastrophe. You shouldn't even think I'm doing terrible.-Violet

Violet, you had a panic attack randomly in the middle of an ordinary conversation, that isn't supposed to happen, it's not mentally healthy. -Maria

I know that, but- it isn't easy to-

I understand what you mean, it isn't easy to go continuously from earth to Aquene it's challenging and rips your heart apart, however, you can't live like this. -Maria

It's not that. -Violet

Then what is? Violet answer what is-

J-JUST STOP ASKING ME THIS QUESTION, I WON'T ANSWER YOU. -Violet

Calm down, I just want you to feel better. -Maria

Violet placed her hands on her forehead, wiping the small sweat drops "Don't cry, don't breakdown, don't act like a dummy" she thought, curling her lips, and maintaining back a wave of emotions from emerging once again, she lightly hugged Maria "I-I am sorry" she apologized, she felt like she had been becoming a task to all who is around her, Maria hugged her back, primarily accepting her apology "It's alright, just- if you feel like your gonna begin to panic, inform me." She said sweetly, but something kept tingling in Violet's mind, something that annoyed her

Maria? Who were you asking for help? -Violet

u-um- just who I saw around. -Maria

Maria, who did you ask for help? Because I remember seeing them declining. -Violet

It was just a random student. -Maria

Who? -Violet

Why do you care about who it was? -Maria

BECAUSE IM SURE I SAW GARRIDAN AND DARIUS. -Violet

YOU COULD'VE MISSEEN SOMEONE FOR BOTH OF THEM, w-why would I even ask them for help? they are ineffective. -Maria

They aren't. Garridan has the ability to illusions, so he could've simply made Violet imagine something that's calming, and Darius, power of water and wind, could've just given Violet a cup of water without the effort. -Galena

Galena stated, cutting off the dialogue between Violet and Maria, her points weren't outlandish at all, if anything they were brainiacs, at least that was what Violet was thinking.

Galena, I didn't even question them in the first place. -Maria

Still lying, Violet, and Maria did request help, from both of them. -Galena

COULD YOU NOT INTERFERE? Violet listen-

It wasn't about saving anything private, since either way everyone witnessed Violet's panic attack, even though, it made Violet feel powerless, both Garridan and Darius were opposing her, that is how she sees them. Was she going to scream at Maria for asking for help? "FOR SURE NO." Her doing that was mindless, Maria doesn't know anything about how Violet thought about both of them, and as long as Violet did give a reply, Galena was throwing more at Maria.

Why can't I, I'm not wrong, it's not like you would've been able to do anything. -Galena

Yes, I could have. -Maria

Well if you were able to, why didn't you, maybe you could've given Violet a flower, to slow her panic attack *Chuckles* -Galena

What are you talking about? -Maria

I am saying that you found yourself to be unhelpful at the moment, and so you decided to ask for help. -Galena

You wish, looks like you don't know anything about everything. -Maria

Alright then, I have to leave. Oh, Violet, about that book I told you about, you shouldn't read it- It just doesn't fit your atmosphere. -Galena

Galena left. Violet just wondered what she meant by "Not fitting your atmosphere" "Is it unsuitable? Or just way too Violent?" Violet's thinking was surrounding that, whilst Maria seemed mad, not the mild type. The bell rang, "It's time for our next class." Maria said to Violet "What class?" "Drama class? I think?" Violet and Maria began making their way to the Drama class, Violet was curious, a drama class existing in Aquene would maybe be delightful to have, especially when it's a passing subject you had had for years, but Violet questioned whether it was optional or not, "Oh right" Maria was excited because that class is the class where they would perform their show.

After almost ten minutes, they had found the classroom, Maria opened the door using the doorknob, IT WAS A WHOLE AUDITORIUM, (It almost was as big as Violet's tangled life) Maria tugged Violet by the wrist, Violet let go feeling a hot sensation in her hand position, it was red as a Fierce rash. Maria questioned "what's wro-" she saw Violet's wrist, it was unanticipated, she then applied force on the wrist, checking if it was pigment or her actual skin.

You okay? -Maria

Ye-yeah, it's nothing. Just a scratch, look. -Violet

She was itching her wrist, acting like it had been only a small scratch, Maria double-checked once again, and still got the same explanation, what else can Maria do? They proceeded to head to the stage, where all were present.

Hello Mr. Bence. -Maria

Why so late? and who is this beside you? -Mr. Bence

MR. WE'RE ONLY THREE LIRS LATE! -Violet

Read the rule poster. -Mr. Bence

There was a huge, long poster located on the wall.

" Two to Three lirs late, means you have to-" Mr. your handwriting is nowhere clear. -Maria

Maria, resume. -Mr. Bence

Fine! "Means you have to clean the auditorium" I will not. -Maria

You will, you must follow the rules, same goes for you Vionet. -Mr. Bence

Father, Her name is Violet, not "Vionet", and she is new, so it wouldn't be fair to give her a punishment as well. -Maria

Hush, it's Mr. Bence. Nice to meet you, Violet, I think you're the only friend Maria lo-

Oh, Thank you! -Violet

FA- MR. BENCE! Just- Get over with it, what's the punishment? -Maria

Do you want it at home or here? -Mr. Bence

I'd rather do it at home. -Maria

Alrighty then. Class, is everyone present? -Mr. Bence

Yes Mr. Bence. -Lufian

Let's begin then, You all are excited to start working on the performance, I know that but I got an announcement last second today, study Kahilis can't do this together. -Mr. Bence

Who will choose then? -Aconite

Me. If any of you have an issue with the placements, deal with it, because once you grow of age, your opinions won't matter, nor will your urges, you must learn how to interact with new people you don't talk with, so NO OBJECTIONS, since I won't change anything: Duo one: Aconite and Claire, Duo two: Axel and Lufian, Duo three: Garridan and Bader, Duo four: Maria and Galena, and lastly: Duo number five: Violet and Darius. -Mr. Bence

Maria seemed like a tear was going to roll down her face, and Violet, was just disorganized, if that was not a coincidence, then what is the actuality of the word "Coincidence" Darius's head tilted immediately towards Mr. Bence, his very relaxed expression turned to its opposite. Violet wasn't satisfied, working with Darius would be hell, even though, Violet can't complain, but he would for sure.

Mr. Bence, I would like to switch my partner. -Darius

Darius, I have said this once, and I will repeat it. None of you are let to switch partners. -Mr. Bence

Violet wants to alter as well. -Darius

*giggles* She didn't even complain like you. Violet, do you want to change your performance member? -Mr. Bence

It was Violet's time to take avenge for her dignity, she was not going to stay shut about what he and Garridan had done, they exposed everything she went through, and still, no answer was provided. It's time for the bold Violet to rise, and not the wimpy one, "Time to oppose" She thought bravely.
