Von paced on the Astrology platform for a moment before taking a calming breath. Pulling out the guitar Marc had given her she sat on the floor and began playing in hopes of calming her nerves.
Once she'd talked to Kenny he'd let slip that Marc had been avoiding her, and that hurt almost if not more then Kenny avoiding her. She had wanted to work things out. Maybe Marc really didn't care about her friendship any more but gerfit he would tell her to her face if that was the case.
As she thought her playing got clipped and louder giving away her inner frustration. Taking note of the music she forced her fingers to relax and played softer and smoother. She would be calm during this encounter.

Marc ripped his arm from kenny's grasp and without a moments thought turned to land a right hook directly into kenny's face. He was pleased to see kenny's lip split. His eyes narrowed. "How dare you come into my common room...And how dare you even think about man handling me."
His green gold eyes blazed in fury. "Give me one good reason not to tell a teacher and have your a** put back into detention." He rubbed his arm slightly and frowned. "Im not talking to her and you can't make me... She picked you... obviously... and im not settling for second best... Its not my style."
He watched kenny for a moment and then was momentarily surprised when kenny reached out and grabbed his arm again to start dragging him. He threw another punch.

Kenny was ready this time. He blocked the punch easily. "Damnit marc... You know she cares about you... If your gonna be a jerk... at least let her know why... she deserves that much." He touched his lip where it was still bleeding. He sighed.
"She tried the docile way by sending a note... You didn't respond quick enough... so i came to get you. " He glanced marc over and then without warning he threw a fist that smashed into marc's eye. "Thats for my lip." He then proceeded to drag a sputtering marc to the astronomy tower. He pushed the door open and tossed marc into the space.
He gave a frown and then looked at von. "Sorry we are late." He put himself directly in front of the door so marc couldn't leave. But held open his arms for Von. HE had to have his pride babied just a little bit... He was hit first.

Vonali heard the commotion at the door and turned to stare at the two boys. With a raised eyebrow she put the guitar away. " Really, you two were all buddy buddy over the summer and suddenly I'm tired of you both avoiding me and you get in a fight? Gerfit." She didn't immediately go to Kenny but whistled at Marc's shiner and held out a hand to help him up. This meeting was for Marc, she'd have time later to make things up to Kenny. And with a look she tried to get him to understand that.
" I take it, you didn't want to say hello?" She refused to let the hurt show on her face. She'd spent most of the year without her friends and the fact that he'd been avoiding her stabbed right at her heart.

Kennedy's pride took another blow... He didn't care if she was trying to make things up to marc... Marc didn't matter when it came to them. He glowered for a moment and raised his eyebrow. They would talk later and then he would get what was coming to him... He crossed his arms and leaned against the door.
Waiting would kill him but he really was just the muscle in this situation. But he had to protest. "I only went over to his house to try and make things right..." he pouted slightly but promptly shut up. He licked his cracked lip and flinched slightly.

Marc glared at her hand and refused to speak. However when he saw she didn't run into kenny's arms he raised an eyebrow. He got up with out her help and walked to look out the window.
He grit his teeth a moment and then turned to look at vonali. He was still small but he was getting taller. "What do you want Von?" He frowned at Kenny and then looked back. "No...i didn't want to come... I don't want to play this game anymore... you made your decision... I can't play second fiddle... And this is where it leaves us... "
He made a sweeping gesture.

Von nodded at Kenny's words but kept her attention on Marc at his raised eyebrow she gave him on in return. Kenny maybe her boyfriend but right now she was focused on how things were between her and Marc. As he refused her hand she let it drop with a shrug.
" I don't want you to be second fiddle either, I want my best friend back." Her tone was chilly calm and in it's own way gave away how strongly she felt about that. " I never knew there was a game being played. If so I'd have surely won. As it stand we all lose." She began to pace slowly between the two guys. " Gerf you Marc, I miss you. I miss hanging out with you. And I'm sorry I hurt you. It was never my intent. But you are betrothed, there's no future for us. So a relationship with you never crossed my mind."
With that she stepped closer towards Kenny but kept her attention fully on Marc. " Please, can't we be friends?"

Kenny was watching marc closely. He didn't think that the other boy would become violent toward Vonali but he wasn't taking any chances. With a tiny rock forward he was using his presence just to back vonali up... he knew she could do it without him... he just wanted to be there for her.
With another glance at marc he watched von. HE could see just how upset she was and it was setting him on edge...if all didn't go well marc was dead meat.

Marc stared. "I can't"He sighed and his tensed shoulders dropped and he leaned against the wall. "Was i ever really your best friend?...First there was Violet... Now there is Kenny... Im not going to be the third wheel in all these situations... Im not going to follow you around like a love sick puppy... "
He smirked at her comment. It was true... if it was a game she would have won by now. He shook his head. "No... As it stands... you and Kenny live happily off without me... Im the only one who loses..." He frowned at her next statement though.
"You don't get to miss me... Im not going to let you." His eyes narrowed at kenny as he moved forward slightly. "My betrothal has nothing to do with anything... YOu know i got no choice...and i don't have to even pretend that im betrothed until im 17... and then i can break the contract... I'm not worried about it.. and before you knew... it was the same... You never thought of me that way... " He shook his head. "This is all just a game... Can't you see... its all just a juggling act... and if something falls... we have to stop... and start over... and where do we end up... right back here."

Von tilted her head to the floor, her breath shaking as she physically had to stop herself from crying. After a moment she looked up dried eyed. " Alright. If that's how you feel I'll drop it. Perhaps things will change." She walked up to Marc and held out her hand. " Can we agree to at least not hate each other?"
She was stepping down. She could see how much it was hurting the three of them to keep this going. She didn't give up easily and this was probably the hardest thing she'd ever had to let go, but if they could at least agree not to hate each other there was still a chance things would work out later on maybe in a few years.

Marc watched her sadly for a moment. His heart that he had so carefully glued back together was starting to fall apart again. "Its not what i want von... Its what we need." He reached out and held her hand. With a quick glance at kenny marc looked back at Von. "I won't ever hate you von..."
With a quick movement he tugged her into a hug and squeezed her tight. Letting go he moved his hands to her face. "Forgive me ok..." He moved forward. "But if you can't i don't blame you." And with that he kissed her.
It was quick for kenny had moved faster than light and then he felt his nose break. He flinched and the only thought in his head as he let kenny pummel him was it was worth it... anything for Von.

Kenny saw Von trying so hard to be strong. All he wanted to do was touch her let her know he was still here... But then marc pulled her to him and Kenny tensed. His eyes narrowing. With his fists clenched he was ready when marc kissed her. He pulled marc off before he could push her any farther. "You a**..."
With those classy words he proceeded to pummel marc into the ground. He heard a sickening crack and felt marcs blood between his fingers. Damn..he had broken the kids nose.... He couldn't stop though... The kid deserved it but one thought niggled at him... He had just gotten out of detention.

Von looked at him in the eyes deeply, if it wasn't what he wanted then they could make it work, least that was her thought as he took her hand. The feel of his warmth brought a small smile to her face. His hugging her had her arms move instinctually up to return the hug.
As his hands touched her face she looked confused and she raised an eyebrow as he asked for forgiveness and then stood in shock as he kissed her. It took her a moment to realize that he was ripped out of her arms.
Looking around she heard Kenny call him an a** and narrowed on the fight. She stiffled a scream as she ran over to try and get between the two. " Stop! Oh please stop!" Now the tears flowed freely. "Gerfit, get off of him, Kenny! KENNY!" She pulled out her wand and with a flick of her wrist forced the two away. With tears in her eyes she looked at the battered Marc and stepped up to his side. " I'm sorry." She didn't know any spells to help and that made her feel worse. She brushed the hair out of his face and kissed his forehead before turning to Kenny and linking arms with him. " Come on, let's go before the noise brings a teacher. She wrapped her arm around his waist and moved next to him to help push him out the door.

Marc opened his mouth to breath. He had tried to breath though his nose but that didn't work at all. He cringed as he tried to sit up. Opening his eyes just a bit he frowned. It hurt to breath let alone look around. "Von..."
Marc smiled when he felt her kiss him. But he sighed and watched her go back to kenny. With care he propped himself against the wall. He would head down once he got his barrings. He closed his eyes again and waited until he heard them lave to let himself cry. He had just been physically mauled but his heart hurt worse.

Kenny hit a wall. "s**t...That hurt..." He rubbed his skull as he stood. He looked at what he had done to marc and winced. The boy looked like his face had met a meat grinder. He shied a bit and watched vonali. He wasn't happy especially when she kissed him... well it was chaste... but he didn't like it.
However, when she wrapped her arms about his waist all was forgiven. He wrapped his arm about her shoulders. and rested his head lightly on hers for a moment and then nodded. "Ok... lets go."
