Bonfire novel Chapter 10

"Sit your ass down on the couch Piper. It's not going to hurt." Alex said as she walked into the room, holding two big bowls of popcorn. She walked past Piper, putting the two bowls on the table in front of the couch, and then sat down beside Nicky.

Piper stayed where she was.

Nicky turned on the TV. She had already loaded the first movie. "Okay so this year I thought we would do a whole 'original vs remake' and I thought The Grudge would be a perfect movie."

"You ever seen it Pipes?" Alex asked.

"I haven't no. I don't really watch a lot of horror movies. I was never really allowed too."

The movie screen loaded. Nicky hit the light beside her, turning it off. Alex grabbed Piper by the wrist, pulling her onto the couch. Piper ended up half on the couch, half on Alex.

Alex put her arm around Piper, who settled on the couch and rested her head on Alex.

They started with the remake of The Grudge. Within the first five minute of the movie, the three of them got scared. Nicky hid her eyes behind a blanket, while Alex and Piper hid behind each other.

During the clam parts of the movie, they all relaxed and ate popcorn. It got to a calm part of the movie, and the three started talking.

"So what is your opinion on Sarah Michelle Gellar?" Nicky asked.

"I think she's hot." Alex replied.

"Seriously? I get how she looked good as Buffy, but I don't know. I never really saw it." Nicky said.

"Weirdo" Alex threw a piece of popcorn at Nicky. It hit her in the face.

Nicky picked up a handful of popcorn and threw it in Alex and Piper's direction. Alex laughed and threw more popcorn.

Piper wasn't paying attention to anything that was happening beside her. She was too busy paying attention to what was going on in the film. She found it very confusing.

"What about you Piper?" Nicky asked as she threw popcorn at her face.

"What?" Piper snapped out of her concentration.

"Sarah Michelle Gellar, Do you think she's hot?" Nicky asked again.

Alex looked over to Piper and smirked, curious to hear the answer.

"Uh, I don't know. She's very pretty, but I'm not sure I find her hot." Piper answered.

"Ha. Well, look who sided with me?" Nicky said as she nudged Alex.

The three of them were interrupted by a loud scream coming from the movie.

"Fuck. That was terrifying." Alex said.

The three of them continued to watch the movie. There were some scary moments, but by the middle of it, it got less scary. They all started tentatively at the screen. They were all quiet for the rest of the movie.

While they were watching, Piper would occasionally look over to Alex. She would watch her. She would look at how Alex reacted to what was on screen. She would study Alex. Then she would look back to the screen. Whenever Piper wasn't looking at her, Alex would do the same thing.

Nicky sometimes looked over at the two. Nicky smirked a bit every time she was Alex looking at Piper. She was happy that Alex had actually found someone. Weather or not that someone would be a friend, or more, she didn't know. Nicky was just happy what her friend was happy.

Alex was never a relationship person. Nicky had known her since grade 3, and never once had Alex ever been this interested in someone.
