chap 1 fire - Ash

Luke

August 10 6.pm

I can't wrap my head. Around this what is going on. who how why those are all the thoughts running through my head right now. Like how do they know I talk to them. Dose have anything to to do with what I saw today. They know all are addressed. What do they think I know to send threats. Is the secret society really just a rumor. If so who in the school is apart of it. How did they cut off my power. I just don't get it more importantly what's so worth hiding that your threading kids and what actually happened today. I was soon bought back to reality when

-Ash: what the hell is this

     - Me: I don't know

-Ash: Me either .

       - Me: I don't know yet

-Me: I don't know about y'all but I have a million thoughts running in my head and I think it's better to discuss this somewhere they don't know where we live

-Ash: I agree what about the old library

 - Twins: that's fine with us as long as we figure what the hell just happened.

   - Me: how's 1 tomorrow school closed for at least a couple of days

-Twins: what is this

-Ash and Twins- Good with us

     - Me: alright see you guys tomorrow

I closed the chat I'm trying to get my thoughts together and prices today day in my head and I only saw two odd things but they shouldn't have anything to with each. But the question I have just goes deeper and deeper. It could be anyone who sent this letters but how could they cut my power. Just think is make my head hurt. "Ding dong" it better be my food this time and it was. what just happened earlier has me questioning everything I try not to think about to it much trying to enjoy my food but it's still there. After eating my food I went up stairs and trying to figure out the game plan for tomorrow or how to start tomorrow conversation. I want to write it down but that didn't seem like the best idea. Then my power comes back on. Just great. I here a notification go off my phone but I can't be bothered to check. I have some many thoughts going through my head I just laid down on my pillow and trying to sleep this off.

                             Flash back

 I woke up to my 4:30 alarm this morning.still pretty tired from last night dinner at the twins house. Whe didn't leave until 10 to 11 ish. But what every I got up and began my favorite part of the day. I grab my phone and called my baby. Knew dam well I might just woke her up but who cares. Especially since she LOVES to hear my morning voice.I put my phone on speaker and began looking for what to wear today.

-Baby:umm you just woke me up

  -Me: I'm sorry about that baby (in my morning voice)

-Baby: wait give me a second I need to put my headphones on

  -Me: alright (morning voice)

 I was going through my closet wonder what I should where today or more importantly what would my baby like to see me in. I'm think grey with some black today

I then set up my so she can see me. I can already tell she already look at me. More like my arms she loves to look at it looks like she in her bathroom doing her skin care. Aww I finally see my cute little baby

-Me: Alright here's what I'm where ( as I but the clothes on top of my body)

I was ready for her to complain app my sweat pants

-Baby: are those gray sweatpants I see you know I only want them for me eyes only

I knew dam well but just wanted to tease you her. As I'm looking her I can see her looking me up and down. oh how I love her eyes on me.

-Baby: your package is for me and I don't like others to see what's mine

-Me: I keep that in mind but I'm wears this

She rolled her eyes

  -Me: rolled your eyes again and I give the a reason to role back

  - Me: Anything you want (morning voice)

 -Baby: I that silly. Is there any thing you want me to see today.

  -Me: Yeah It looks nice

-Baby: good i have to look good for you( she says as she winks

As soon as I saw her looking I began changing my clothes give her a nice show. I can feel her eyes on me as I change.

  -Baby: I love a show in the morning

  -Me: I know do. What do you think

-Baby: you look real hot ( as she slowly licks her bottom lip)

 - Me: Thanks baby if you don't mind my eyes are up here

 - Me: I know baby but I'm comfy and have no intentions to change them. plus I love to see your jealous face.

- Baby: yeah it's all fun and games until some random trys to holla at what's mine

  -Me : I promise I won't allow someone to get that close and why would I bat a eye when I have you. Especially since you know I liked you for a long time.

-Baby: aww I know

I started putting on my sliver jewelry and picking out my shoes.

- Me: How are you feeling about today

  -Me: I feel the same way your way to beautiful and popular

  -Me: stunning

- Baby: giggle. thanks anyways I have to go I see you soon I love you bu bey( she says as she ways and makes a hand heart)

-Me: bey baby see you soon love you too

 like that I hung up and texted Luke. It almost time to head to our bus stop. Time really does fly by when your having fun. I grab my stuff and head out the door. it's a long walk from my house to the bus stop. After some time I reach there my baby and Asishia was there.

 -Baby: oh your all ready here

   - Me: yeah hey Asishia

-Asishia: hey how are you

   -Me: im good

Like that we just had small talk. Nothing real important the whole time I was just looking at my baby. Time to time I her looking at me. Oh how I wish I could hold her right but I can't. We are planning to tell them about us sometime this week. why can't the time go by fast I just want to tell everyone but I have to have patience. Especially since everything is that happens this summer. Soon I heard foot step form behide it must be Luke. I was mid conversation so I did say anything to him. But I keept feel like some was starting at me so I turn around. I saw the look of shock on Luke face was. I mean I be shock if I was him to

- Me: hey man it's been a minute. I know I look like a complete difference person since we last hangout

         - Luke: you can say that again, but you look great man

-Me: thank you too

That was a little awkward. But then our conversation ran smoothly until the bus came. I think that's when the thought it's my first day of highschool and the fact I don't look the same. A little social anxiety kicks in for a second. but then I thought who really cares. As I walk in the bus I can feel eyes on me. Then I see whispers as people are look at me. But I didn't really care I just wanted to start the long bus ride. I sat down where Luke was like we normally sit. It was a little of a tighter squeeze to sit down but other then that it was fine. I took out my phone just distraction my self when I get a notification from baby.

-Baby: did you see how shock they were when they saw

  -Me: yeah I know can't help to look I'm so fine

- Baby: 🙄🙄

  -Me:Aww come on you know you love me

- Baby: I do but don't let it get to your head

-Me: I won't i can't wait until it's just us I'm tired of pretending your not my girlfriend

-Baby: I know let's tell everyone one tomorrow. We can ditch everyone once we get to the school just wait a little longer I'm not going anywhere

  -Me:ok

 like that I close the chat and close my eyes. I was tired to this morning. I got some sleep but the bus was loud and I didn't have my headphones today so I didn't really sleep. Soon enough we arrive at school. Finally I was sick of being on this bus. Like that we all made our way off the bus. We stay to the side of the bus waiting for all of us to get off. Then we went to find a spot to have small talk before going to class.

-Asishia: guys are you ready for the first day of

 highschool

- Luke: not really but it's whatever

-Baby: yeah it's just going to be a day for us being lost and listening to boring lectures.

- Me: Yeah I can't agree more

We all some little conversations before parting ways. Luke we heading straight for class. Asishia was meet up with her friends and me and Yamya went to the cafeteria for breakfast. Like that we all parted our own ways. Finally we can kinda of be alone. As we make our way to the cafeteria. I can feel people look at us. I'm not use to people looking at me. I just brush it off because I barely know where I'm going to and the hallway was really crowded.

   - Me: stay in front of me. I don't want to lose you in the crowd

- Baby: ok but I don't know where I'm going

  - Me: I guide you ( I say as I put my hands on her shoulder)

Like that I guide her to the cafeteria. The cafeteria is packed with a lot of people.

- Baby: I didn't think there be so many people

  - Me: either which line do you want to inv

I say as I see the lines grow with each passing second.

- Baby: i don't real care( she says as she makes her way to the right line)

-Me: How are your really doing today

  - Baby: I'm doing alright. I guess I in haven't seen you know who and I hope I never see him.but I think I'm going to be ok

-Me: Even mentioning him pissed me off. I swear to God it's his death bed if he comes anywhere near you. ( I say with a huff)

-Baby: It's ok( she says as she gives me a hug) I'm going to be ok.

 I can feel her slightly shaking in my arms as she says this.

-Me: hey it's ok I'm here.i promise I won't let anything happen to you.( I say as I rub her back)

  -Baby:I know. I'm ok just a little scared

  - Me: he should be in juvie right now for what he did to you

that thought all made me tense up but I took a breaf

   -Baby: yeah he should. I don't want to talk about it anymore

  - Me: if you every need me I'm just a call or text away. I be there I promise.

  -Me: I know and I'm sorry

- Baby: It's ok ( she says as she breaks the hug)

that's when we both get a ding notification. We took out our phones to see. It was just the group chat.

 -luke:Where is Everyone at 🤔

-Me: Me and Yamya are at the cafeteria get breakfast.

-Asisha: hangout with my girls😜

-Yamya: without me 😮😢

- Asisha: we are in the lobby waiting for you for the group photo to hurry up.

-Yamya: alright 👌

                        -Luke: I'm in my home room and no one here🫠

 like that we had some light heart conversation as the line kept moving. I was happy to see her smile and be the bubbly girl I fell in love with. We soon left the cafeteria after get breakfast and start looking for Yamya class.

   -Me: Do you remember where your class is

- Baby: Not really I remember going this way

   - Me: Ok led the way

Like that after get lost for a little bit I walk her to her class.then we both head back up to the lobby. She want to see her friends and I need to find my class.

The lobby was packed again we couldn't find Asishia for a second. But we soon found her.

   -Me: I have to go now I see you later bye

  -Baby: Bye see you later

Like that I make my way looking for my class. I eventually find my homeroom. I pick somewhere random to sit because I didn't know or care who I had homeroom with. The bell soon ringed. Then soon after came the morning announcements.the Loud speaker had the ringing sound for a minute before it worked. I didn't appreciate that at all. Then began the beginning of the same thing I'm going to hear all day. role call, safety, expectation and a whole other blah blah blah blah. I don't really want to hear. I l listened to this one because it's the first one and if I listen I don't have to for the most part of my other class. Like that school began look for class meeting up with Yamya between classes. Finally it was 3rd block and almost lunch time. I get to see my baby and the rest of the gang. We all share 4th blocked together and some of us have class with one or two of us. I waited in the lobby until I saw my baby and then we walk to the cafeteria together. with Asishia side by side Yamya. We then made it to the lunch line Luke was in. We wait for each before get a seat outside. We sat down and began talking about each other's day. it nice all of us being together having fun it's been a while. Soon lunch was over and me and Yamya walk together to class since hers was on the way to mine.

- Baby: I missed you( she says with a little pout)

-Me: me too so everything going good so far

-Baby: yeah all my friends our in my class so I'm happy ( she says while smiling)

-Me: that's nice I made some new friends I think

- Baby: that's good. Did any girls talk to you today

- Me: a few acutely they where really pretty

I can see the anger or jealousy rise as she elbow me in the rub

 -Me: ow that hurts I was just joking I didn't pay them any mind

- Baby: but you still think there pretty hmm( she says as she walks ahead

-Me: Nobody could even compete with you

-Baby: I know thats right

I chuckle w e soon reach her class

-Baby: bye

- Me: bye

I then make my way to my class. I started talking to some of my new friends before the bell rings again. We soon began class again. When a couple of minutes later the fire bell alarm rings. Then everyone started get up and running.I don't even know what happened a couple seconds after I heard it I got up grab my bag and basically bolted to Yamya class. I can see people started make there way to the exit soon I see Yamya

Me:Yamya.

she turn her head to meet my eyes. I start make my way quickly to her.

- Baby:What's going on

-Me: I don't know we just need to get out. don't let go of me

I say as we run to the nearest exit. Once we were falling out you could see where the smoke was come from.

-Me: are you ok( I say as I look at her head to toe)

- Baby: yeah just shake up

 she had tear weld up in her eyes. I pulled her in for a hug. what most people don't know is Yamya is very sensitive.

-Me:it's fine it's ok.

- Baby: I'm ok I need to call and find my sister( crying voice)

Like that we began calling Asishia and look if we can spot her. When finally out of nowhere we she tap Yamya shoulder.pp

Asishia: Yamya it's ok I'm here

 Yamya broke the hug and hug her sister

-Baby: I was so worried when you didn't pick up my your phone ( crying)

-Asishia: I'm sorry I I didn't get anything it probably because other people are jamming up the land line

Asishia look at me and mouthed.

-Asishia: thank you

-Me: your welcome.

Now all where waiting on is Luke. Where is Luke. it's hard to tell if he's already out or if he still in there so we just waited. until eventually Luke found us

-Me: what took you so long we were all getting worried

- luke: sorry it's a little bit of a story, but I'm good

-Ash and twins: that's good

Then we all begin talking about were we where and how we felt. We all took turn until it was mine

-Luke: So I was in the science hall when it rings. It wasn't serious to us until people began running, and then we all begin running. People began to push and and I fell hard on the ground and became disorientated and couldn't get up as the smoke grow closer before I pass out I … I

He stop for a couple of seconds I don't know if it was nervous or what. Then he began talking again

Luke: And before I pass out I saw someone sprint from where the fire was.

that's a little weird but maybe they fell asleep in class or forgot something I don't know or care. I just cared if Yamya was ok.

Ring ring ring I get pull out of my thoughts when my phone rings it was Yamya

-Me: hey baby how are you doing

- Baby:I don't know at this point I'm confused and scared.

-Me: me too but it's going to be ok

- Baby: what if it's not

-Me: Don't worry about the what ifs it's all going to be ok we figure it out

-Baby: ok if you say so I really miss you.

-Me: me too baby but don't worry I see you tomorrow

-Baby: and. Why not right now

_/-Me: I would if I could but my parents are freaking out about the fire and I were still together on the down low remember.

-Baby: Yeah I know I have a feeling that it's going to be a minute before we tell anyone about us

-Me: yeah

-Me: I got to go

-Baby: ok bye I love you

-Me: I love you too

I hung up the phone and head to go eat dinner. Dinner was silent with them ask me here and there about the fire. After dinner I cleaned the dish then went to bed.
