The punk rocker put her stuff down on the floor, then leaned forward, whispering into Louise's hat covered ear. "Hey, cutie. Where have you been?"

Louise turned bright red, and a few of the students around her took notice of this. Louise quietly groaned in aggravation, ignoring the girl. Alexis waited a few minutes before trying again. "Bunnyhead, I was talking to you," she whispered into her ear once more.

Louise turned around angrily, snapping at her, "Louise! My friggin' name is Louise! Happy now?"

When she turned back around, Mr. Buntley was towering over Louise. "Louise. Alexis. Hallway. Wait for me to come get you."

Louise rolled her eyes, getting up and walking out to the hallway. She leaned against the wall, sighing and sliding down onto the floor. Alexis soon came out after, sitting next to Louise and grinning like a hyena again. "You never told me your last name, Little Lulu."

Ignoring Alexis's nickname, Louise mumbled, "Belcher."

The redhead started giggling, "That's a pretty weird last name, Lulu."

Louise smirked, feeling a sort of attachment to her already this early in the game. "Yeah, well, it's not the worst. At least it isn't Butt. My sister would have a field day with that one."

Alexis started giggling again, "Your sister has a thing for butts? How old is she?"

"She's in college. I don't know, she's weird. You have no idea what it was like having to live with her," Louise smiled a bit.

"Well, no, but I can imagine," Alexis burst into giggles once more. "Did she look at your butt, or everybody's?"

"1. She looked at everybody's, but she has her favorites. 2. Why do you suddenly care so much about my ass?" the girl with the bunny hat questioned the redhead. Alexis blushed.

"You brought it up, babe," she smiled, looking at Louise with bedroom eyes, then continuing, "So why do you wear that hat? Do you ever take it off?" Louise backed up a bit.

"None of your damn business." She simply refused to talk more about it. Alexis put her left hand on Louise's arm, using the right to lift up her chin. "Feisty. I like that in a woman," she whispered.

Louise blushed but kept her angry demeanor. "Are you hitting on me?"

Alexis grinned, "I'm a dyke, Louise. I thought it was pretty obvious by now. Didn't you see my tattoos?" The redhead started to pull off her shirt. Louise frantically looked away. "No! No, I don't- Damnit Alexis, I don't wanna see that! I get it! You're a lesbian…"

She pulled her top back down, giggling. "What about you?"

Louise said nothing, looking down at the floor, only just now noticing the tattoo of two Venus symbols interlocking one another on the other girl's arm. …Oh.

"Let me guess, you're still in the closet? Well, maybe I can help with that…" And with that, Alexis leaned forward slowly, closing her eyes and-

"Belcher, Damara. Get back in here."

Louise hadn't even heard the classroom door being flung open. All she had heard was the sound of her heartbeat going a thousand miles per hour, her nostrils inhaling the oddly comforting cigarette smell coming off of Alexis. Mr. Buntley stood there in the doorway, blushing lightly, knowing he had interrupted a special moment between the two. He professionally kept his calm stance, just barely.

Alexis stopped and gently let go of Louise's chin, getting up. "Alright, sir. I'm sorry I caused all this…!" Before she finished her sentence, she bolted off down the hallway, calling after Louise, "Hold onto my shit for me, Lulu! Put your number in my phone in there! Later!"

Louise stood there, still registering what happened. She had pulled this escape plan a million times before in middle school, but she stopped in high school when she realized there was an influx of security guards prowling the school's every corner. How the fuck is she gonna make it outta here?

Mr. Buntley, on the other hand, was already racing to try to catch the rebellious redhead, his fat little body comically bouncing as he ran. Louise looked back into the classroom at the students staring at the door, wondering what happened. "Go! Go! Go!" she shouted, knowing how much the others needed to get out of that hell hole of a classroom. The remaining students quickly grabbed their things before running past Louise. Louise spotted Alexis's bag being carried out by a boy, but she grabbed his arm and rose her arm, her hand balling into a fist. The boy laughed nervously and dropped the bag, running off when she let him go.

Picking up the bag, Louise waltzed back into the now deserted room to get her things. A loud vibrating noise was coming from her own backpack. Louise pulled out her phone:

1 New Message

Logan

Louise sighed and opened it.

I'm sorry.

Louise hastily closed her phone in annoyance, putting it back in her pocket. "I don't need you anymore, Logan, just…step off," she mumbled to herself before leaving the classroom.
