The Joys of Arson

12

    Two weeks have passed since Alix's revelation about Judd's family. 

    Judd hasn't been showing up to his homeroom after taking Alix home, nor has he tried to contact her at all. 

    As fall break was rapidly approaching, and most importantly, Halloween, Alix was stuck in a rut, secluding herself from her classmates, especially Lia; the bimbo has been nonstop on Alix's ass over the most minuscule things, such as being late to their photography class, even though the fragile girl was hiding in the red rooms, keeping to herself and developing film while the rooms weren't occupied.

"Listen here you emo bitch, I'm having a Halloween rager and you should be lucky that I'm inviting- no, TALKING to you because I hate your guts and my brother has been down in the dumps. Aaanyway, it starts at 8, BYOB and BYOW. Be there in costume, and DON'T  be late"

    Gawking at Lia, Alix walked past her and sat in her seat, and shifted, adjusting her shorts every so often because of the weather

    As the eccentric photography teacher lectured on about the importance of roadkill and how it's his favorite subject to take pics of, Alix had other things to think of that were more important; like the boy with raven hair with electric blue tips and sharp green eyes.

    Deep into her thoughts, Lia intruded Alix's mind, snapping out of her trance-like state,

"Earth to bitch?"

"What is it this time, Lia?"

"Why haven't you been hanging out with my sociopath of a brother? He finally dump you like the rest of the girls he 'hangs out' with?"

"I don't know, Lia, why don't you hang out with your beloved Daniel anymore? Did he finally get tired of head-pushing you?"

    And just like that, the blonde stormed back to her seat, shooting daggers with her eyes back at Alix and making crude gestures at her

    Class eventually ended, camera in hand, Alix rushed to get out of the room and to her truck, and eventually home to figure out what exactly she was going to do for Halloween.
