Chapter 6

"Hey Perri wait up!" I turned to see a beat up Clay rushing up to me

"Jesus Clay are you ok?"

"I'm fine."

"Who kicked your ass this time?"

"it wasn't that, I was ran off the road last night, while I was riding my bike."

"Jesus, did you see them? Did they stop?"

"No but it was a big truck so I can only guess." He said looking across the parking lot at Bryce's truck

"Do you think it was him?"

"I can't say for sure, but I don't put anything past him."

"Yeah.." I said as the bell rang

"Hey, wait a second, I really need to talk to you about something. Can we meet up later?"

"We can meet afterschool, is that ok?" I asked as final bell rang and he nodded as we walked inside.

I walked into first and spotted Alex he gave me a small wave which I retuned and then took my seat.

After class I walked out and went over to my locker.

"Hey Perri."

"Hey, Alex it's good to see you." I glanced behind him, where Zach was standing looking stupid. Alex looked at him

"Dude go ahead I'll catch up." He said to Zach who nodded then handed Alex his backpack then looked at me again, he sighed then walked away.

"It's still weird not seeing you two together."

"Yeah well that's not my fault. Did you need something Alex?"

"How was court?" He asked I rolled my eyes

"It sucked, is that all?"

"No what did they ask you?"

"Same stuff, were Hannah and I friends, the tapes, the list you wrote, and if she was sleeping with my boyfriend."

"What?" He laughed then he stopped when he saw I was serious

"No way Hannah and Zach?"

"Yeah, Zach told they hooked up he said it was once, but yesterday they showed me these texts they were pretty much messing around the whole time I was gone last summer."

"Shit."

"Is that it?"

"About court yeah, but my mom let me see the note I wrote... when I you know. Anyway I'm asking the whole group I wrote 'I could've stopped it'. I just can't figure out what it means."

"I think it's pretty clear, don't you?"

"I think so, but I can't help but feel like it's something else, but my memory is shit you know."

"I get it, but this Hannah thing is not on you. You need to remember that, one thing I have learned is that Hannah is not as innocent as she seemed." I said then slammed my locker and walked away

Tyler

I walked into the yearbook room to find it trashed, pictures were ripped, my cameras were smashed 'Pervert' was spray painted on the board.

"Fuck!" i said picking up the camera pieces it didn't look like anything in here was salvagble

"Holy shit!" I turned to see Kyle

"What the fuck happened here man?" He asked while picking up a stool

"It's Bryce and those guys!"
