We watched Hannah walk back to Cabin One.
Then, to my surprise, Parker walked up to me and put his hand on my shoulder, before I could push him away he said, "Welp! You lived a good thirteen years! Too bad you'll never make it to fourteen but, if it makes you feel any better, most people don't live very long when they go to this school anyway, so we're probably not far behind you."
"Thank," I said sarcastically, "That made me feel so much better."
"Really?" He asked excitedly.
"No!" Piper and I replied simultaneously.
"Oh..." a disappointed Parker replied.
"So, what do you think Hannah is going to make me do?" I asked, turning to Rose.
"Honestly, Hannah is pretty unpredictable. She could make you do anything." She replied.
Before I could ask anymore questions, the guards yelled that it was time to head to our cabins for the night. We stood, said goodnight, and went our separate ways.
As we walked back to Girl's Cabin Four, I noticed Piper throwing me strange glances.
I ignored it for a while eventually, I just turned to her and asked, "What?"
"What, what?" She replied with a guilty look on her face.
"You were looking at me weird."
"N-no, I wasn't!"
"Yes, you were"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Fine, I was. Happy?"
"Why?"
"Why are you happy?"
"No! Why were you giving me weird looks?" I asked, frustrated now.
Piper sighed and said, "It's because... I'm... I'm worried about you, alright?"
We started walking again. "Why would you be worried about me?" I asked her.
"Hannah can be... tough... and I... I don't want you to getting hurt, that's all."
"You big softie! How on earth did you end up in a place like this?" I asked playfully.
"I... I robbed a book store." She said as we arrived back at the cabin.
"Something like that isn't enough to get you into a place like this." I replied.
"I know." She said.
"So, how'd you get here?"
"I refused to return them."
"That's it?!"
"They were expensive books!"
"Okay, whatever but... why a book store?"
She walked me over to her bed and pulled off the pillow, revealing a stash of books inside her hollowed-out mattress. "So i'd have something to read when I got here!"
"Really?" I asked.
"Yup!" She replied.
I sighed and put my forehead in my hand, "You know what... I don't care. Let's just go to bed." I said and climbed the ladder to the top bunk.
"Night!" Piper called up to me.
I rolled my eyes, still thinking of her stupid story. "Night!" I replied and attempted to sleep.
