The Runaways

Gathering

"Hey Chase, it's Alex. Do you wanna come over and stay the night at my place tonight? We need to figure out what's going on with our parents."
"Sure, why not. I totally agree, we need to get more information about Pride and their operation. They killed a kid last week."
"I know. Would you mind spreading the word to the rest of the group? I gotta go to a stupid school club meeting."
"Yeah, I'll tell the group."
"Thanks. Catch ya later."
I hung up the phone and started to alert the rest of the group the game plan for tonight. Even though Alex and I weren't on the best terms right now, we agreed on one thing, and that was finding out who our parents really were and what they were really doing. Obviously not running some charity group.
After I texted everyone, I quickly ran to class so I wouldn't be late. When I arrived to my Chemistry class, I saw that Nico was there as well. We exchanged uneasy glances and quickly looked away. Apparently none of us were on good terms anymore. Ever since Amy died...
"Alright class! Today we are learning about the separation of molecules and how they then work to form other substances!"
Great. And this is the part where I doze off, and don't pay attention, I thought. After listening to Mr. Whittworth lecture us for 45 minutes, the bell rang and I was off. I needed to get home and pack for Alex's house. I wondered what the night would bring. Hopefully it didn't include us getting killed.
