MAIN Julie makes new friends

Day 35

A couple of hours later Julie was just getting out of line with her lunch. Scanning for a place to sit, she first looked for Ashley. She had decided that it would be best to avoid her, Julie even considered skipping English just to be sure Ashley had no chance to inconveniently bump into her at the end of the day.

Her eyes settled on a sparsely populated area, someone that she had been better friends with in middle school was sitting alone.

"Hi Cassie, is this seat taken?" she said sitting down next to Cassie.

"Oh hello Julie, no one normally sits there so your fine." Cassie replied with a smile. Cassie and Julie had been closer in the past but had grown apart over the years. Cassie wasn't very out going and still spent a lot of her free time drawing and working on art. Her parents were both professionals and were pretty well off, they had high expectations for Cassie but seemed resigned to her trying to become an artist.

Julie chatted up her old friend. There was something very reassuring about how easily the old connection that they had had been reborn. Julie decided that of all the people that could help her out Cassie was one of the most likely to help and least likely for her mom or Ashley to send Crissy after.

"Are you still painting? I used to love looking at your art." Julie asked.

"Oh yeah." Cassie said with a grin. "My dad finally gave up on the idea of turning the spare room into his library and lets me use it as a studio now."

Julie saw her opening, "think I could come over sometime and take a look?"

"Sure anytime." Cassie answered. She only had a few friends and although she was shy about most things she loved for people to see her art.

"How about after school today?" Julie said with a nervous smile.

"Ahhhh... I don't know, let me text my mom and see what she says." Cassie said pulling out her phone. "Do you still have the same number? She won't get back to me til noon so I'll let you know what she says then."

Fortunately the answer was yes. Julie took the bus to Cassie's house after school and was truly impressed by Cassie's art work. Julie had never been artistically inclined and had always felt like life to this point was just her time back stage. Waiting for the day when she would find what she was here to do on earth. She knew she would find her place eventually, just not in high school.

At dinner Cassie's father was absent. He worked for the government and since the terrorist attack had spent many dinners and even some entire nights in the office. Cassie's mom was a plastic surgeon and although she made enough money to hire a staff for the house they lived in she still enjoyed making dinner for her family.

"That was great Mrs. Lane, thank you" Julie said politely as she finished the last of her meal.

"Thank you, it's one of Cassie's favorites so I thought you would enjoy it also." She said with a grin. "Let me know when you need to get home and I will give you a ride."

Julie had already been hinting to Cassie how fun it would be to have a sleep over just like when they were younger.

Julie decided to play her hand. "I was hoping Cassie and I could study a little bit. My mom works over night at the hospital so it's just an empty house waiting for me. And Cassie and I have a lot of catching up to do."

"Maybe you could stay the night." Cassie piped in, as if on cue.

Cassie's mom gave her a bit of a stern look. "It's a school night. I remember how whenever you had friends over you would be up goofing off half the night."

"We are a lot more grown up now mom, we know that we need to get up for school. Trust us." Cassie said, almost sounding like she really was all grown up now.

"Fine. But lights out by 10 and you two need to be up by 6 to get ready for the bus. Alright?"

"Yes mom," Cassie said eagerly. "Of course." Julie echoed.

Day 36

Julie was once again surveying the cafeteria for a place to eat. No one stood out and she had already spent the last night with Cassie so decided that she couldn't try that again. Her feet started moving and she found an empty table, "good enough", she thought. She had only eaten about half her french fries when a really perky voice chirped behind her.

"Hey bestie! Long time no see!" Ashley plopped down next to Julie. "You mom and sis really missed you yesterday, they were SO worried." She said with faux concern. "But don't worry those two forgive you. They love you a whole lot and know you will come around to our way of thinking sooner or later."

A chill ran down Julie's spine as Ashley softly put her hand on Julie's knee, hidden under the table. "You REALLY don't know what your missing." She said in a low, almost conspiratorial voice. "I mean you know I've had a lot of boyfriends. And let me clue you in, I've also had A LOT of sex. But this blows all that away." As she said this Ashley was slowly sliding her hand up Julie's leg sending, this time more pleasant, shivers up Julie's spine.

She gave Julie's upper thigh a firm squeeze, still in a low voice she said. "Look, I get that your a virgin and the whole lesbian thing might be a little scary. But I'm actually glad that you ran away from Crissy. If you hadn't I wouldn't feel this great. For the first time in my life I know my place in this world. I'm not worried about the future or what people think of me. I have no fear of the future after high school, so thanks for that Julie." All the time Ashley's hand had been slowly moving up and down caressing Julie from her knee almost to her most private place. Julie trembled just for a moment.

Ashley continued, a bit more naturally. "Everything will work itself out sooner or later. You'll see that things aren't so bad. And we can be besties again. I wouldn't want to have to find a new bestie after all!" she said with a grin, pulling her hand back. "Well if you need a ride home I'll give you 10 minutes after the final bell. And I'll stop by your house every morning whether your there or not. So don't be a stranger bestie!" Ashley bounced up and sauntered off to get her lunch.

Julie shivered one more time. It was like they were the League of Evil Lesbians or something. She knew that this was somehow sinister but it was also very enticing. She knew in her heart of hearts that if Ashley had talked to her at lunch the day before she probably would have let Ashley take her home to Crissy. And who knows what they would have done to her, but she would have been a part of the League herself by now, another shiver. Julie wrapped her arms around herself, trying to keep from shivering again.

Her eyes caught Ashley walking over to the table that the cheerleaders that had lunch this period always sat at. Ashley was friends with them all and she didn't hesitate to sit down with them. Her back was to Julie, but within second Amanda, the head cheerleader was smiling and laughing at whatever Ashley had said. Ashley had found a new pond to swim in, one with more willing and unsuspecting fish.

At the end of the school day Julie had no idea what to do. She walked the halls and ended up in the library. At 5 o'clock the librarian kicked her out and said to go home. She found her way back to the cafeteria. A lone lunch lady was still there cleaning up, she scowled at Julie. Julie got a water from a vending machine and glanced back at the lunch lady as she drank. The lunch lady was staring Julie down, clearly she wasn't welcome here either.

Julie wandered the hours for the better part of an hour, truly clueless as what to do. She went into a bathroom and locked herself in a stall. Sitting down she broke out her phone and searched the web for any other odd happenings since the bomb went off, she found nothing. It was impossible to avoid news of the attack, but it all focused on authorities trying to figure out who did it and the tragedy of 10's of thousands dying in an instant. Nothing about Evil Lesbians or little black aliens or strange viruses, just the latest new normal.

The door to the bathroom opened, Julie tensed, who could it be? "Your not supposed to be here." A voice said. The first thing that struck Julie was that it was male and sounded more like a teacher than a student. "Your not in trouble but I have to clean so you need to come out. I'll give you a minute"

Julie was almost reassured that the voice wasn't female. It wasn't the League, hot on her trail, it was the janitor she supposed. She flushed for no reason except to continue the charade that everything was normal. When she stepped out an old man, mop in hand, gave her an appraising stare.

"Come with me," he said setting his mop in it's bucket. Julie meekly followed him expecting to be in trouble, imagining someone calling her mom to come get her. Rather than turning down the hall to the office she found herself at the teachers lounge.

"I figure you don't wanna go home for some reason, ain't none of my business though" the old janitor said, fishing out his keys and unlocking the door. "You aren't be the first and won't be the last. Kids need a way to get away sometimes just like everybody else. There is a couch in the back to sleep on. Vending machines in the cafeteria have some snacks, but I lock that up at 10 when I leave so don't forget. And you got to be out of here BEFORE 6am, that's when staff starts to show up." He was pointing a finger at her now and shook it sternly with the word "before".

"Just go out by the gym and when school starts pretend like you got here like all the rest. And don't forget tomorrow is Friday so whatever troubles you have this is a one night thing. I find you here tomorrow and I'll have to call your folks." With that he walked off. Julie was so thankful that she had gotten lucky again and avoided her fate one more day.

Day 37

Second period study hall, time to check the cam again. Crissy hadn't even been in her room to trip the sensor since the time Julie caught her and mom plotting and doing the nasty. Julie didn't expect that there would be anything new and first took a look at the room live. She saw the top of Crissy's head as she sat at the desk. Music was blaring in the background, it was loud even over the security cam. Crissy must have been using that dusty old desktop that she left behind when she went off to college. Julie checked the times on what the camera had recorded and realized that Crissy must have just gone into her room a little bit ago since the only recording had started less than an hour ago.

Suddenly the door flew open. A police officer gun drawn came into the room. Was this it? Had the evil plans of the League been foiled? Julie couldn't hear what the officer shouted but the look on her face was serious. Crissy stood slowly, hands up, she was of course naked as the day she was born. With Crissy standing up she blocked Julie's view of what was happening. Julie saw Crissy turn to face the officer and slowly walk towards her. As Crissy reached her the police woman spun Crissy around, quickly holstered her pistol and started to put hand cuffs on Crissy.

"This is it!" Julie thought happy at the idea that she could go home and that all this was over. Was the same thing happening right now in the school? Ashley had algebra second period just down the hall. Were police even now rounding her up too?

But then right after cuffing Crissy, the police woman pushed her down on the bed face first, a smile on her face. Julie's dream of the League falling came apart as the officer unfastened the belt with her gun and taser and let it fall to the floor. She now had a mischievous grin as she quickly unbuttoned her shirt, revealing a very hefty pair of breasts in a black lacy bra. Julie noted that she had matching panties as she watched the officer drop them to the bedroom floor.

By this time the still handcuffed Crissy had squirmed around onto her back and was saying something to the officer, her legs spread wide. The cop dropped to her knees and began to eagerly tend to Crissy's snatch. As her blond ponytail bobbed up and down and all around Crissy began to arch her back, Julie closed the laptop. Julie was recalling Ashley telling her how great it felt. Remembering the feel of Ashley's warm soft hand sliding up and down her thigh, getting so so close to her own snatch.

"Mr. Cooper! I have to go to the bathroom" Julie shot up out of her seat, laptop under her arm. What she did in there as she watched her sister was something she had never done in the school before. She was only mildly surprised when the buxom blond officer pushed Crissy back fully onto the bed and straddled her. A black root like thing pushing out of her folds to meet and intertwine with the one coming out of her sister. But then as Julie's fingers began to hit all the right spots she closed her eyes and let all of the tensions of the morning, and it's new revelations, fade away.
