Bonfire novel Chapter 2

"Come on Piper, you know they're both on the soccer team. It really doesn't surprise me." Sarah replied.

"Okay while you two plan your entire evening, i'm going to go to the library." Kathryn stood up and waved bye. "See you two later."

Piper and Sarah waved back and then turned to each other, said nothing, and then burst into laughter.

"Shit I forgot she was there. Wow." Piper said.

The two of them continued to talk about Todd and Mark and they planned their evening.

Kathryn was in the library looking for a free computer. She needed to print off her paper for her history class.

She looked around and saw no free computers. "fuck" She said under her breath. She noticed Alex sitting at one of the computers. Kathryn walked over to her.

"Hey new girl. Wanna get out of my seat?"

Alex looked over to see Kathryn standing behind her. She rolled her eyes and looked back to the screen. "Bitch." She logged off and got up."I was done with it anyway." Alex shot her a glare before walking away.

Kathryn sat down. She noticed a phone sitting beside the computer. She picked it up and unlocked it. "holy shit. This is that girls phone, " she whispered to herself.

She logged on and printed her paper as fast as she could. When she was done she raced to find Sarah and Piper. Kathryn was dying to look through the texts, but she knew Sarah would kill her if she did.

She got outside and ran over to where she last saw the two. They were still there, but they moved over back under the tree.

"Hey guys!" Kathryn yelled.

"Hey Kat. what's got you so up beat? Oh god, it's not a triple date now... is it?" Piper asked. A worried look crossed her face, though it was barely noticeable. Piper had been looking forward to her date with Todd, and finding out it wasn't going to just be them, and at a soccer game, made her somewhat disappointed.

Sarah looked eager to know what was up with Kathryn as well.

"Okay so you know that new girl? Alice... Alexis... A-something...?"

Piper and Sarah nodded. "What about her?" Sarah asked, seeming a bit more disinterested in someone like her.

"I went to the library, and there was no free computer left. So I went over to her and got her to get out of the way so I could use it, and she left her phone there." Kathryn pulled out a small Nokia phone. It was a silver, and it had a touch screen, but it was fairly beat up.

"Holy. Shit. You took her phone!?" Sarah said as she grabbed the phone out of Kathryn's hands. "Please tell me you haven't look through it yet. Or if you have, anything good?"

"I haven't looked through it yet. I'm sure there is going to be something interesting on here."

Piper hated things like this. She really liked her friends, but every now and then they would do something like this, and it really bugs her. She wanted to speak up, but every time she did, they just ignored her. They could be very mean if they wanted to be.

"Guys maybe you shouldn't look through her phone..."

Kathryn and Sarah looked up at her for a second and then continued to look through her phone. There wasn't much on the phone. There were no photos, and almost no contacts.

"What a loser, She has about 5 contacts on here." Sarah said with a rather bitchy tone.

"Oh okay let's get to her texts." Kathryn took the phone and opened up Alex's messages.

There weren't many conversations on the phone.

"Damn this sucks." Kathryn said. She opened up a conversation with someone named "Nicky"

They scrolled up through some of the messages. She seemed to be a good friend of Alex's.

"Holy shit. Is she a lesbian!?" Sarah said so loudly that she was practically yelling. "Okay Piper, you seriously need to read this."

As much as Piper didn't want to look, she got kind of curious. Piper really tried to seem uninterested and act cool.

She closed her locker and then headed towards class. When she got there she noticed a lot of kids walking out of the class. She looked into the room and saw an older man sitting at the teachers desk. A fucking substitute? Great.

Piper walked into the room and saw a few kids sitting at desks just talking to each other. She spotted Alex in the left corner of the room in the back.

Alex looked upset. Angry. She was looking down, he legs stretched out, and one arm crossed holding her upper arm. She didn't noticed Piper sit beside her.

"Alex?"

She turned her head over to where the voice came from.

"Alex are you okay?" Piper moved her chair closer to the girl.

"Yeah, Some fucking asshole stole my phone. I know it's just a phone, but my mom saved up so much to get me one." She sighed and rolled her eyes. "I swear to god whoever took my phone will regret it."

Piper felt guilty about the fact that her friends took her phone. She felt bad. She was kind of scared to give Alex back her phone, seeing how angry she was, but she knew she had to do it.

"Here, My asshole of a friend took this... she found it in the library." Piper put the phone onto the desk in front of Alex. "Sorry."

Alex looked up at Piper. She didn't know if she should be angry at her or not. She decided that being grateful was better, as she trusted Piper didn't actually take it herself.

"Thank you. Wow. Most people would have just sold it and never think twice about it." She paused for a second. "hey, do you want to maybe, get out of here?"

Skipping class was something that Piper would never have thought of to do. It was something she didn't want to ever do. Her father always told her that she had to go to class not matter what. She had always done what he said, so of course, skipping class was something that she would never consider doing. That is, until she met Alex Vause.

"Yeah, Sure." Piper grabbed her bag in stood up. "I'm going to the washroom." She yelled to the teacher, who just looked up for a second from the newspaper, and then looked back down.

Piper left the room first, followed by Alex.

The two of them decided to go to a park that was just down the street from their school. No one was really around, as mostly everyone was in class.
