Asylum

Chapter 2

Present Day

Faith was looking in the mirror when she heard a car honking. It was her best friend Riley, the craziest person she had ever met. The brunette grabbed her bag and walked towards the front door. "I'm leaving!" She announced.

The teenage girl's mother peeked through the kitchen door and widened her blue eyes that mirrored her daughter's. "Alright, honey! Have fun."

Faith rolled her eyes and opened the door. "I'm not going to a party, mom." She chuckled and then closed the door behind her. Once she stepped outside, Faith waved at her best friend and smiled. "Riles, I love you but if you honk the fucking car ever again, I will gut you like a fish. It's not even a joke."

Riley raised an eyebrow and placed her hands on the wheel. "Are you on your period?" Faith chuckled and blasted the radio. The girls arrived at school and Riley grabbed her bag before climbing out of the silver prius. "Watch out for the sluts!" She tilted her head towards two blonde girls.

The brunette rolled her eyes and immediately put on her best fake smile. "Faith!" The shortest blonde, Brittany, greeted. "Nick told me you were having problems with Q."

"Not true." Faith stated. "Quentin and I are rock solid." She blew a kiss to the two blondes and turned around, followed by the very amused Riley.

The two best friends walked inside the school, heading towards the lockers. "Damn! You totally slammed that bitch!" Riley giggled.

Faith opened her locker and grabbed her History book. "Brittany and Cassie are fucking annoying!" She closed the locker. "It's like they're trying to break me and Quentin apart." They started walking.

Riley pinched her brunette frind and smiled. "Speaking of the very attractive devil..."

Quentin smiled as soon as he spotted his girlfriend and pulled her into a passionate kiss. "Good morning, babe!" She had her eyes closed and he was still smiling. "You look fucking sexy."

"Get a room!" Riley teased and the bell rang. "I'll see you two in class if you don't get lost." She winked and left the couple alone.

Faith intertwined her hand with her boyfriend's and smiled. "Riley and I are having a sleepover tonight. Do you mind if we hang out tomorrow?"

The muscular boy kissed her cheek and nodded. "It's okay. I understand that whole 'chicks over dicks' stuff." He pulled her closer to his chest and leaned into her ear. "But you better make it up to me." He reached for her ass and squeezed it. "See ya later."

The brunette blushed before walking to class. Riley saved her a seat and the teacher stepped inside the classroom. "Good morning class!" She put her books on her desk and took a deep breath. "Today we're discussing our local history. So, a few decades ago, Wakefield was known for the unfortunate fire at Wakefield Asylum."

"It wasn't some random incident!" Dylan stated. "According to the local paper, the patients rebelled against the administration of the asylum and caused the fire that killed everyone."

Cassie raised her hand and the teacher sighed. "Isn't that place like haunted now?" She asked.

The teacher adjusted her glasses. "We're discussing History, Cassandra, not lore."

"Yeah but the lore is far more interesting." Brittany said while smirking at her classmates.

Dylan rolled his eyes. "Either way, I think we should learn more about the old asylum." He raised both his eyebrows. "It is part of our local history."

The History teacher sat down and sighed. "I want an entire essay about the Wakefield Asylum by tomorrow. Focus on the lore, the real history or the stories you made up to spice up your lives cause this small town is a drag." She popped a pill and took off her glasses. "Assholes!" She whispered to herself.

At the end of the school day, Riley and Faith arrived home and decided to work on the History essay. "The History teacher is a major drug addict." Riley teased. "She doesn't even try anymore to teach us anything."

Faith chuckled and tucked a piece of her brown hair behind her ear. "Well, try teaching a boring subject to a bunch of hormonal teens. I would be popping pills like crazy."

Riley nodded in agreement. "I would rather slit my wrists before turning into her." She stretched her arms and cracked her neck. "Fuck! I'm so tired of studying. Can we do something fun?"

"Like what?" Faith looked at her friend with a raised eyebrow.

The dirty blonde haired girl wiggled her eyebrows and smirked. "What if we sneak into the asylum tonight?"

Faith widened her green eyes. "Are you fucking joking? My parents would flip!"

Riley stared at her best friend. "Don't be a pussy! Besides, I dare you to spend the night at the haunted Wakefield Asylum." She licked her lips and grinned. "I'll bring my flashlight."

"You're ridiculous! But I'm down as long as you come with me." Faith challenged.

"Fuck yeah!" Riley clapped her hands in excitement.

After dinner, Faith was in her bedroom getting ready to leave when she heard a noise. "Riles!" She shouted but no one answered. The noise was coming from the window and the brunette grabbed a baseball bat.

"Wait! It's just me!" Quentin entered his girlfriend's room through the window. "Why do you have a baseball bat?" He asked in confusion.

Faith dropped the bat and took a deep breath. "In case a creep like you decides to sneak in through my window." She rolled her eyes. "What are you doing here?"

Quentin held her by the waist and kissed her lips gently. "I couldn't sleep without tasting your lips."

Riley burst through the door with a frying pan in hand and a very serious expression. "What the fuck is going on here?" She shouted.

Faith and Quentin had a fit of laughter while Riley looked at them confused by the whole situation. "Were you going to beat the crap out of me with that frying pan?"

"You bet your perfect ass I was!" Riley tossed the pan away and placed her hand over her chest. "I heard my best friend screaming so I came running. Good cardio, though!"

Quentin kissed his girlfriend's head and smiled. "Are you two having fun?"

Riley nodded. "Fuck yeah! We're going to the old asylum for research." She put her arm over her friend's shoulders. "Our essay is gonna blow everyone's minds."

"I'm coming with you two." Quentin said and the girls shared a look.
