Violet's P.O.V

Why did people have children if they weren't going to pay attention to them? A lot more went into raising them. Other than financially providing for them. Buying them all they wanted. Designer clothing, limited edition handbags, heels, jewelry, exotic cars, and money were great and all but what about what I really needed now? When were my parents ever going to bond with me?

I couldn't even remember when was the last time they actually sat down with me for breakfast. On the weekends, it was just me and Rita. When she wasn't so busy with the chores of the house, she kept me company. Being in that mansion felt so lonely. Friends loved coming over but I saw nothing special to it. Just a building, not a home.

Don't know why mom spent so much time into designing, furnishing, and decorating it if she was practically never home. Might as well be a museum. That's how it was being treated as. For people to visit and admire it. Like I said, it was no real home.

Ten minutes since mom arrived home and I could already hear her keys jingling.

Mom peeped her head into my bedroom, "Going out for brunch with my friends," she informed. Typical of her.

I don't know why I skipped out on school today. What did I expect? For a miracle to happen? Mom was not going to stay in. I should have known better. No classes were taking place this Monday but I stayed home, wishing that mom would spend time with me.

Rosemary was in shock when I told her about it. She was under the impression that we had classes. Every so often, classes were put off on Mondays at Montgomery. Everyone looked forward to them.

"I invited Rosemary's mom out for brunch with the girls but she wanted to stay home and help Rosemary with a homework assignment," she elaborated. Nice to see that at least someone cared about spending time with their daughter. Wish my mom felt the same way. Never was going to happen though. "Rosemary continues to prove that she's disciplined," mom thought so. Blah blah blah! "Speaking of, you should follow her lead and get started on the assignment."

Oh please.

"After Netflix," I nodded.

Mom scolded me, "Get started on it!"

I sighed, "What gives?"

"Violet! It's an important assignment!" Since when did my mom care so much? Maybe her and Mrs. Myles talked about it more than I originally thought. Fuck Rosemary! I didn't even pay attention in class to know what the assignment was about.

I think it was something about teen pregnancy. Ugh, if it wasn't because mom knew that I was bisexual I could have easily been like mom chill, I'm gay!

Last guy I hooked up with had been a while ago. In general, it had been a while since I last hooked up with anyone. No one really seemed too interesting to me. Last time I hooked up with someone was a guy and he pulled out. Plus, I was on birth control. Even now because it helped regulate my period and in case I wanted another one night stand with a guy.

"Mom, you're giving it a little too much thought. It's just sex education and about not getting pregnant," I shrugged off. Yes, I wanted my mom to give me the slightest bit of attention but not like this. I wanted her to give me attention, not my assignments!

"Violet, it's not just about teenage pregnancy," she argued. "It's about safe sex in general!"

"Ugh, mom!" Eww, I did not want to have this talk with her!

Even though I took birth control, I also made the guys I hooked up with use a condom. They hated it but it was either that or nothing! Obviously, they didn't want to mess the chance of hooking up with me, so they listened.

"There's STD's!"

"Okay, I'll do the assignment!" I jumped off my bed to go to my laptop! "You win!" I groaned. Ugh! Anything to get her to stop about it!

Mom chuckled, "I tell you what, if you get at least a B on it, we'll go on a shopping spree together!" She bribed. "But you have to do it all on your own! No bribing someone else to do it for you!"

Together? Shit, I didn't even care about the shopping spree. What I cared about was that she was finally going to bond with me! We had never done this together. Honestly, I couldn't remember the last time.

Excited to hear her offer, I felt myself smiling from ear to ear! I could not believe my ears!

"Alright bet," I accepted the challenge.

Smiling, mom closed the door.

Eager for the assignment, I got right on it.

**********

Assignment all done and a complete master piece! All done by myself. Fine, from a little help from Rita but mostly from me. She only pointed me towards the right direction when I got stuck. Freakin' Rita, I loved that lady!

Last night, I forward the assignment to the teacher. According to the notes, the grades were going to be posted by this afternoon. Eagerly, I kept refreshing the page. What the fuck, she was late on it! Already, it was two minutes past afternoon!

Not seeing any new updates, I refreshed the page once again! "Where the fuck is my grade?"

Lucy came to the end of my bed and chuckled, "Why do you want to know so bad? Did you pay someone too much and want to make sure that they did it correctly?" She assumed that I had someone else do it for me.

Disgusted, Rosemary stared me down, "Do you take pride in that?" She questioned, disappointed.

Offended, I gasped, "FYI, I did the assignment all on my own!" I clarified. Ugh, why did I care what she thought? Her opinion did not matter. All I could think about right now was about bonding with my mom!

Sarcastically, Rosemary laughed, "Just like I'm going to star in Edgar's next porn film!"

"Whatever gets your career started," I played along and shrugged my shoulders. Eh, Rosemary could not ruin this day for me. Again, I refreshed the site. A new link appeared and I immediately clicked on it. In Alphabetical order, the grades were posted. I scrolled to my last name and saw my grade.

B+

Whoa, all on my fuckin' own!

To make sure that I wasn't dreaming, I looked at it again.

Delaney, Violet: B+

Holy shit, it was real!

Mom was going to be so loud of me! I could not wait to show this to her! I was not going to waste another minute, I was going to forward this to her this very instant!

"Lucy, I got a fuckin' B+!" I could not contain my excitement. It felt like my heart was going to pop out of my chest! Holy shit! I could not wait to see my mom's reaction! She was going to love it! Best part was that we were going to go shopping together! For hours! I was going to have her full attention!

Almost like a cheerleader, Lucy jumped up and down in excitement!

Skeptical, Rosemary came over to look at my laptop screen. "I mean, it shows a B+ but did you really do it on your own?"

"I don't got time for envious lowlifes but yes, Rosemary, I did the assignment with my own sweat and tears!" I assured. Not even she could ruin this moment for me.

Concerned, Lucy squealed, "You were sweating?"

"Lucy, it's a figure of speech!," I clarified, sighing.

Taken back by Lucy's comment, Rosemary paused to analyze it. Forgetting about it, she refocused on me. "I'm proud of you then, Violet."

Maybe I was still dreaming? There was no fuckin' way that Rosemary just told me that she was proud of me! Shit, this meant that I didn't have a B+? I needed to wake up this very instant.

Unexpectedly, a tingle traveled through my body as I tried stopping myself from smiling like an idiot. Someone was proud of me? And that was Rosemary? Out of everyone, she was the last one I expected.

"You are?" I had a hard time believing it.

"Yeah, you earned that all on your own," she reassured. "Keep up the good work!" She encouraged. "You have it in you, you just gotta push yourself more," she slightly smiled before turning around to head upstairs.

Now that she was out of sight, I let myself smile. Lucy was still here, so I didn't want to make it so obvious. So hard to stop though! The more I tried to hide it, the more it felt like someone was poking my cheeks. God, why did it make me feel all warm and fuzzy when Rosemary told me that she was proud of me? Nothing made sense to be honest.

"What made you want to work on the assignment?" Lucy sat next to me.

Lucy was my best friend and obviously, I was going to tell her, "Well, my mom promised me that if I got a good grade on it, we'd go shopping together!" I couldn't hold back my excitement.

Knowing how important that was for me, Lucy squealed out of excitement as well, "That makes perfect sense now!"

"Lucy, I have something to confess," I lowered my voice.

Her eyes widened, "You didn't actually do the assignment?" she assumed.

Playfully, I rolled my eyes and chuckled, "I did," I assured. "When I saw my grade, it made me feel proud of myself, like damn, I did that on my own!"

"I know! Even Rosemary was proud of you!" She chuckled.

All over again, I felt that warm and fuzzy sensation travel through my entire body. Almost causing me to get goosebumps! This was insane but I didn't even care. I was too happy to even get mad at myself for feeling this way, especially because Rosemary was making me feel funny shit again.

-

Mom hadn't responded to my message nor emails! Too impatient, I called her phone but it kept going straight to voicemail. I could not wait another minute. I was too excited!

Tired of waiting, I called her assistant and she had me on hold. Her own daughter!

Whatever, this was the quickest way to get ahold of her.

"Sorry for the wait, Violet," About time! Mom finally answered me!

"Mom, did you see my messages?" I could almost sing out of happiness.

"Yes and I'm so proud of you, Violet!" Mom congratulated. Um okay and she coudn't have answered my messages? I had to stop being this way. The good thing was that she knew about it.

"Thank you!" I was just going to focus on what mattered. "So when are we gonna go shopping?" Hopefully this upcoming weekend! Better yet, tomorrow!

"Speaking of, Violet, I, um," she paused. I did not like the sound of that at all... my heart stopped for a moment and I held my breath. "I'm going to be overwhelmingly busy for the next few weeks," she added, crushing my hopes and dreams.

"But you said-"

"I know, I know, and we'll make it happen but it'll take some time," sounded like complete bullshit to me.

"Like how long?" I could feel the knot forming in my throat. To distract myself from it, I bit on my tongue.

"Violet, I would have to look at my agenda," she sounded distracted. Background noise was heard. Some laughter. People talking to her. She sounded too focus on them. "I'll have my assistant get back to you by the end of the day-"

Fed up, I hung up on her.

Everyone and everything else mattered to her more than I did! How foolish of me to think that it would be different this time. That she'd keep her promise. How fuckin' stupid I was! Have her assistant get back to me? As if it were a business matter? I was her fuckin' daughter!

Gently, I tapped underneath my eyes to dry the tears from my face. No matter how hurt I was, I could not let anyone see me cry. After all, I was Violet Delaney and I couldn't let anyone see my vulnerability. Fuck what I felt! It didn't matter, right? By the looks of it, my mom sure didn't think so!

Time to go to this stupid class. Stupid ass assignment. Now I was gonna have to hear all about it.

Turning the corner, I spotted Rosemary and that Olivia girl talking by the classroom. Just what I needed. Disappointments all around. Flirtatiously, Olivia cleaned something off Rosemary's uniform. Watching it happen, Rosemary smiled and met Olivia's eyes.

I felt my jaw clench at the sight of that. Know what? Fuck my mom's false promises and fuck Rosemary!

Rosemary's P.O.V

No one in class was paying attention and the teacher looked dead serious. Leaning against her desk, she waited on the class. Rather taking it as a hint, my classmates jumped from desk to desk to talk more. In the back of the room, a group of guys huddled up around a phone. Moans came from it. They lowered the volume. I don't think they were being discreet in consideration of others. Only to avoid the teacher from bothering them.

Sitting on a girl's lap, Melanie tied the end of her button shirt up a little to expose her stomach. "Chantel!" Melanie giggled when her friend leaned in to kiss her neck.

Okay, I did not want to see that.

Making sure that no one sat beside her, Lola rested her feet on the second chair. I planned on sitting with her for a moment but she seemed too caught up with her phone. Video game gunshot effects blasted from it. "Die bitch! Die!" A little too intense, Lola groaned as her thumbs rapidly tapped on the screen.

"It's art," Edgar had his arms around two girls. "And I'm going to become the greatest name known in the film industry," he claimed.

At least he was ambitious. Porn was not art in my opinion. However, he seemed passionate about it and eager to start & grow a film production company. More than any of his friends had in mind for their future.

Disgusted, Rachel interrupted Edgar, "Shit pigs drool over?" shaming his dream business, she pointed to the boys in the back of the classroom.

Edgar shifted his attention to them and shook his head no. He defended, "My films will be created delicately. That shows the beauty of the human body and the pleasures they create!"

"You're going to be a porn director," Lucy backed up her friend.

"I don't argue with stupid," Done with them, Edgar adjusted his hold on the girls and turned them away from Lucy and Rachel. "Childish ass minds," Edgar murmured under his breath.

Rachel opened her mouth to snap at him but Lucy placed her hand over her arm, instructing her to let it go. Which she did. Not happy at all.

"Class!" The teacher had enough. "Class has began!"

Annoyed by her interruption as how they saw it, my classmates went to their seats.

I sat at my designated seat, which was next to Violet. Earlier today, she was overly excited about her grade. Seeing that she was kinda being nice to me earlier, I shot her a smile.

Annoyed, Violet rolled her eyes and looked the other way.

Okay?

Caught me off guard but I wasn't too surprised. One moment, Violet was in a good mood and then she switched up. Bipolar mood. Okay, something to not joke about but seriously, her moods changed constantly!

The teacher started the class, "Many of you did not understand the importance of the assignment," she started off. "Other than Violet and Rosemary, the rest of you blew it through it," she stated.

I leaned to the the side slightly, towards Violet, "Again, congrats," I was genuinely proud of her.

Monotone, she admitted, "I paid someone to do it," lowering her head, she randomly scribbled in her notebook.

Although, I should have expected this from her, I was extremely disappointed in her. For a moment, I really believed that she had done the assignment on her own. I was actually proud of her. Turned out that she was lying all along? Why lie about it? She always straight up admitted to paying someone off. Why lie now? I did not understand. In general, I did not understand her at all.

"Um, I think I did a pretty presentable report!" Lola defended her assignment.

The teacher pursed her lips for a second, "Miss Di'Lance, your whole assignment was about abortion," the teacher reminded.

"Perfect solution," Lola reinforced.

"Anyways," The teacher shifted her attention away from her. "Since most of you did not understand the purpose of the assignment, I've decided to partner you guys up and assign each pair a baby simulator," she stated, gaining huh's from the class.

"How about no?" Nick was not up for it.

"How much to get rid of the problem?" Edgar bribed.

Rachel mugged Edgar, "Oh that's what you've been doing?"

"Fuck no! My pull out game is strong!" Edgar bragged, proudly.

"Yeah, I would know," Chantel bit her bottom lip.

Grossed out, Melanie's face scrunched up, "We're gonna talk after."

Chantel gasped, "Oh so you can fuck whoever you want but I-"

"Enough!" The teacher didn't let Chantel finish.

"Who the fuck are we partnering up with?" Lola seemed scared of who she'd end up with.

"To not make it complicated, I've decided to partner you up with the person next to you," the teacher explained. Oh no. Violet was next to me.

Trying to beat the system, I looked to my other side.

"To your right, Rosemary," the teacher caught on to it.

Not having it, Violet requested, "Can I switch partners?"

"No switching partners," she stated to the whole classroom.

"But that would mean that my partner would be Edgar," Nick complained.

"As I said, no switching partners," the teacher stood her ground.

Edgar voiced to him, "It's going to be a soccer player."

Nick banged his head on the desk.

"Prepare yourself today, get a good night sleep because it'll be the last you'll get," the teacher advised. "Tomorrow, you'll be getting your baby dolls," she added.

Nick and Edgar. Melanie and Chantel. Lucy and Rachel. Lola and Ryan. Violet and I- I did not even want to imagine how this was going to end. Violet and I could hardly stand each other. Now with this? Being roommates with Violet was hard as it was and now having to co-parent? What did I do to deserve this punishment?

**********

The group was outraged about the whole baby stimulator and used it as an excuse to drink out. According to them, they only had one last night until becoming parents. To them, their lives were ruined. They were unbelievable! It was only as assignment. A few days! They acted as if it were for real. As if it were for a lifetime!

Did not surprise me at all that Violet organized it all. Easily, she could have called in any other vehicle to pick us all up. Even a party bus but no- she wanted to steal a van from the institution!

Sneakily, we all slid against the wall and around the corner. Freshmen distracted the security guards as we made our moves. Two vans parked right up front. Everyone ran into them. Without a care in the world, Violet swayed her hips side to side, confidently and sensually.

More confident than ever, she owned her beauty.

Dressed in a light pink pencil skirt and a black & sheer mesh long sleeve top, she stunned everyone with her beauty. I hated that I was lost in her. That I could not deny how beautiful she looked tonight! I just couldn't take my eyes off her.

Not only did I agree to sneak out with them to watch after her because her parents asked me to. But also because honestly, I had never seen anyone so pretty in my life before. God, she made me feel frustrated because of how gorgeous she looked!

To her bad luck, we got stuck sitting right next to each other.

To everyone's bad luck, Nick was driving the van.

"Hold on everyone!" Laughing like a manic, Nick made a sharp turn. Trying to hold on, everyone leaned to the left.

No control over it, I pressed against Violet.

"Eww! Get off me!" Roughly, Violet pushed me off, forcing me to hit Lola.

"Trust me, I don't want to touch you!" I remarked.

"Oh but you got me pregnant!" Stubbornly, Violet snickered.

"It's not real!" I exclaimed. God, she was delusional!

"Yet, we're having a baby!" Sarcastically,
