((Sorry I didn't post. Gone most of the weekend, but Katyd has pestered me well!)
"Where...?" The word's didn't get a chance to leave Violet's mouth before Calvin sprinted out of the auditorium. He seemed like he was always ready to do something, and in this case she guessed that it might be to win over Melody. I won't interfere, she promised, though I wish I could. Pushing her hands into the red velvet seats, she hoisted herself out of their cushy depths and walked slowly after Calvin and Melody, desperately trying not to be a clingy "third wheel". She stood off to the side, letting Calvin and Melody talk to the Frisbee people, and wondered how everything had dissolved so quickly. Zia was gone now, off to the dorms, Violet supposed, and then Calvin and Melody were holding hands and-she stopped, feeling a little crushed, her appetite vanishing. Calvin must have only been trying to be friends with her in order to get closer to Melody. Look how perfect they are together. And how happy they make each other. I wish... the thought trailed off, ending as it always had. Violet had done her mental game countless times before, and wishing wasn't going to make her any more likable, or any less shy. I should just go back to dorms, but... Curiosity flickered at the edge of her mind, overcoming shyness. What would happen between Calvin and Melody? Once the curiosity was established, Violet knew she would have to go with them, third wheel or no. She urged her feet into a sagging half-run, catching up to them and standing a little ways off.
