Brief Summary Of Deven Violet's Intrigued

I felt like a prisoner in my own mind, thought Violet. Violet Thompson was your everyday weird goth child. Her parents often seem like she’s not in the room. Her so called “friends” don’t seem to understand her. And sometimes gets bullied for being that weird kid at school. These causes have made Violet take the consideration of committing suicide, causing her to go at war with her mind. A few days later though, a boy named Zayn comes up to Violet and asks her if she would like to join a gang. Violet automatically refuses, but Zayn continued as if she didn’t say a word. Saying that when you have become a part of it, you are treated like one of their own, like family. Intrigued, Violet tells Zayn that she wants to meet them in person. Once found, the gang’s leader,

Deven, tells Violet the basic rules about becoming a part of the gang. The three most important rules were: do as told, don’t rat anyone out, and most importantly, don’t abandon your own for another. Violet has decided to join them.

Three years have passed and Violet has been with the gang ever since.Violet not only felt grateful, but appreciated for being with them. With the gang, she feels complete. She no longer feels like an outsider. She not only gained friends, but a family. Walking home to school, she sees Zayn approaching her. Ever since becoming a part of the gang, Violet and Zayn have become inseparable. Violet similes at him, he does so in return. “Hey, Deven told me that we are expected to sell some drugs after school”, he said. “Fine by me.” Violet replied. Violet knew that with joining the gang she would have to do some things that were illegal, but over the years she learned how to accomplish the orders without getting caught. After school, Zayn and Violet went to their hideout (an abandoned house) to collect the drugs. Once collected, they went straight to the neighborhood that always seems to want something from them. On the verge of giving some drugs to a crackhead, someone shouted, “Hey!”. Violet turns around to see two cops running towards them. Filling with panic, Violet turns to Zayn to see him reach for her arm and pulling her into a run. “Come back here!” yelled one of the

cops. They ran with all their might until they made sure that they were out of sight. Going back to their hideout, they made sure that the area was clear before entering the house. Entering the house, Violet says “You don’t think that they will remember our faces, right?”. “ I don’t even think that they saw our faces clearly enough to remember.” said Zayn. “So do you think that there is nothing to be worried about?”, asked Violet. “I’m just saying that when we go to school tomorrow, we try to not put that much attention to ourselves.” said Zayn. The following day, Violet and Zayn kept a low profile, but still acted as if nothing happened. Nothing seemed to go out of place, so they thought that they were in the clear. But a few minutes out of school, and they start hearing police sirens. Their first thought was that it probably was for some emergency that’s going on in the city, but then the sound of the sirens started getting closer. And before they knew it, they heard someone yelling, “After them!”. They started running as fast as their legs could take them, but it was no use. For the police were driving and they were running on foot. Once Violet and Zayn got caught, they were arrested and taken to jail. The police found that they have been in activity with a gang from the city for a while now and were sentenced to stay in prison for ten years.
