Von had been spending almost every waking hour either with Kenny or anyone else who she could. Mostly to keep her mind far from the topic of Marc, Vi and what Clarissa was doing. She'd even been studying and concentrating on her school work much to everyone's surprise, and had hardly touched her guitar. The days just kind of blurred together for her, well until today.
Today she woke and knew it was time to get back to her music. She'd dressed randomly and had stuffed the guitar into her pocket before heading out to breakfast. Everyone seemed shocked at her appearance and only nodded when she grabbed some goodies to go with the explanation of working on her music. She'd trudged up tot he 5th floor before hesitating at the door. It wasn't too late to go back and distract herself some more, but gritting her teeth she walked in. The room was the same as it always was but today it held something different for her. She'd positioned herself up on the stage and began playing. The song was slow and a bit sad as her mind wandered through the past week and she replayed everything that had happened.
She still didn't understand what Marc wanted from her and why he was using Vi, but she was missing his friendship terribly. She watched as she over reacted time and time again, but why? Why had she acted in such a way, why had Marc's feelings ignited such pain and yes a ton of fear. Why was it she was comfortable kissing Kenny, when the thought of kissing Marc had her fleeing . Could what that girl said in the main hall the other week really be true? Did she LIKE Marc. And if she did, what now?
She was so absorbed in her thoughts and playing she didn't notice the tears that silently trickled down her closed eyes. Though who cared no one else was around to see them. No shame in shedding them here, in her sanctuary.

Marc was fuming. He had finally gotten away from Clarissa. He grit his teeth as he walked back into the great hall. He said hello to some of his hufflepuff friends that hadn't gone to class yet. He assumed Violet went to class already as he didn't see her. He would have a bit of explaining to do for her...
Groaning he debated heading to class. He pulled a bagel off the table and took a bit of it as he headed to his new place. He had noticed Vonali had stopped using the 5th floor music room and decided that it would be safe enough. It was a good place to skip class.
He counted the stairs as he walked. Because of this.... he nearly tripped and fell on his face as the stairs shifted. He went the direction of the music room. He took another bite of the bagel.
As he reached the room he hesitated. There was music. It was Vonali. He threw the door open. "This is all your fault!" He was angry and she was going to be the other end of his anger. However he stopped. Von was crying. "What the hell.... that's cheating...."

Von stopped playing, her eyes widen in shock as the door burst open. She stared for a moment before his words hit home. Furious with herself she swiped the back of her hand across her eyes. " What's all my fault this time?" Her tone seemed so nonchalant as she finished wiping the moisture form her face and tried to regain her composure. "And I can't be cheating if I didn't plan on using tears against you. Not to mention I despise using tears to get what I want." It was taking longer then normal to get her barrier up as her previous thoughts bombarded her head with her heart sped up, maybe she just needed a good fight? " Speaking of which what do you want" Shouldn't you be in class?" She tried to force malice and taunt into her voice but couldn't come close. She had to get herself under control if she was going to face him today, here and now.

Marc watched her. What happened to the strong, uncaring, could take anything thrown her way, girl? He wanted to give her a hug and tell her it would all be alright.But then he remembered, He was down right pissed at her. "Why the hell did you bring Clarissa into all this? It has nothing to do with her... at all..."
He crossed his arms. "Yeah...but so should you." He raised an eyebrow. "Or have you given up on school completely?" He had completely ignored her statement about tears.
He wouldn't put it past Von... Not at this point.

Von snickered feeling more like herself and put the guitar away. " Wow it took this long for her to get to you? I gave her more credit then that." She shrugged it away. " I wanted information, she could get it for me. Or at least she said she could." Von reached around the mic and moved it out of her way before jumping down to the ground. " Actually I'm ahead enough that I have a bit of flexibility." She'd moved slowly towards him as she spoke. Though the closer she got the weirder she felt. When she figured she was close enough she plopped in a chair. " You didn't answer my question, what do you want?" She was trying so hard to sound like the old Von but inside she wondered if she was trying too hard cause she just couldn't hit that level of indifference. "Actually here's a better one, why are you using Vi?" She looked at her hands as she spoke, she knew Vi was totally into Marc and no matter what happened to her she didn't want anything to happen to Vi.

Marc was angry.... "You could have just asked me...thought i was supposed to be your friend. " He sighed. He could see her struggling with the facade of hating him... He knew somewhere deep down....She didn't hate him.
"Lets just start..." He broke off again. Anger filled his voice. "I.... am not...Using... Violet..." He frowned. "Why are you allowed to date someone and im not? Huh?You picked Kenny...So i chose Violet... simple as that... I have feelings for her... and you... You need to decide thats ok... Sure... im not happy with you and kenny and i still have feelings for you.But right now... Im Violets boyfriend... Deal..."

Von stood suddenly. " Ask you?! Ask you. after the way you were behaving, yea right how could I trust you." Now she was pacing back and forth clearly agitated. " I mean first you tell me that we're cool and then I hook up with Kenny. Then you HIT him and dash away, we talk and you tell me you need time. And then the Next day it seemed like you were with Vi. I mean seriously! How was I to take all that?" Her pacing increased til she stopped in front of Marc. " You wanna be her boyfriend then Fine but don't you dare lead her on. I mean you sit there and get upset that I got Clarissa involved when you went and pulled Vi into it." Now she started pacing again but this time idly. " You didn't even bother to give me time to think. I didn't plan to kiss Kenny, I didn't know he was gonna tell you we were dating, I was just trying to get over the idea you had a crush on me. I had no time to think." Now she plopped back down in a chair and stared at the floor. " And I haven't really thought at all since, til today."

Marc sat quietly in his chair. He could have yelled back. He could have screamed till his face turned blue and the it hit him.... like a fish in the face. "Im sorry."
He realized he was losing her... completely. "I really screwed up... I don't want you to hate me... or pick kenny so you can't have me too. " He glanced up.
"Lets rewind.... Lets....lets pretend that everything is normal...I have no feelings for you aside from those of friend.... And i have all the feelings i need... to be Violets Boyfriend... because thats what i want to be... I want to be able to hold a pretty girl's hand and kiss her on the cheek before class.... I want to carry her books as we talk about how boring History of magic is... " He stood. "It doesn't matter that i love her as a friend... that my tongue doesn't get thick and attempt to trip my words when i'm around her."
He reached out to take her hand. He would be surprised if she let him. "All that matters.... is i can still sketch your pretty face and know that when vi does something stupid and i need to tell someone... I can come to my best friend..."

Von looked up at Marc until what he said caught then her face got a bit stormy. "Rewind?! Are you serious?" She stood up quickly and began to pace again. He goes and makes her life horrid twice and wants to go for a third! " You go and make me feel horrid, tell me it's ok and do it all over again. Why should I believe this time's different? huh?" She started tapping her fingers as she moved between the stool she'd been in when he walked in and him. She'd just spent the better part of a morning thinking on this whole situation and he just wanted to wipe all away. Could she? Could she wipe everything she'd ripped out into the open of her mind. " Look I'm not mad anymore, but I'm not sure how ok we're gonna be." She stopped in front of him and just looked for a minute. Then raising one eyebrow and smirking she bent down and planted a kiss on his lips. After all she knew what kissing Kenny was like, would this be different?

He had seen his parents kiss. He had seen Von and kenny kiss. He had kissed vi on the cheek before heading to class. He had even been kissed by the woman in the kissing booth at the last mayday fair. But had he ever...kissed before.
Marc took a note from something had had seen in a movie once. he moved his hand to her cheek and kissed her back. However then a small thought crossed his brain. This isn't Vi. He tried to hush that voice put it made head way and he turned his head away from Von. "Im sorry....That was... nice... but... im...." he couldn't believe he was saying this... "But im..dating Vi..." He looked at her with his big expressive eyes. "I don't want to hurt her." He knew she felt the same. "So now we will be ok... You have kenny and... and i will have Violet!"
He pushed himself up. "So...You.... felt nothing right.... Kenny kisses better.... so you should be with him." He nodded. "So yeah...Lets all sit together at dinner" He nodded and then started for the door... "S-See ya later Von."

At his fingers her body shuttered inside but she'd regained her control. As he pulled away she kept her smirk in place. He was right of course Vi came first but now Von had proved something to herself. So she too stepped back and gave him room. After all they were just first years and if the last couple of weeks said anything life would have many twists and turns. " Sure, everything's peachy. No need to get all jumpy , Sug. She snickered and winked at him. " Like ya said there was nothin there. Dinner sounds dandy. Go enjoy your day. If ya hurry who knows ya might make class." Her tone was light and breezy but almost sarcastic as she pulled the guitar he gave her out of her pocket and headed back towards the stool and mic. " Ya know how to find me if you ever wanna talk." She sat and quietly played a few chords in scales, her fingers moving about playfully. Today had certainly cleared somethings up for her and she felt more like herself. Dinner should be fun, or if nothing else entertaining.

Marc watched her. So she hadn't felt anything....ok... He nodded and closed his eyes, he plastered a smile on his face and grinned at her. "One day i will get all you slytherins sitting at the hufflepuff table..." He glanced at his watch. "Oh yay... learning" He rolled his eyes playfully. So everything was right in the world... but now all his insides were a flutter... was that normal? He smiled once more and headed for the dorms.
