Alex in Wonderland- Part 24

Though it seemed empty, they still walked in warily. Jessica spotted a row of lockers and went straight for them. “There’s bound to be a pair of sneakers in here,” she said as she proceeded to open the unlocked boxes.

“Oh my God! Are you serious?” Becky gasped.

“Yes, I am totally serious. Don’t be a spaz,” she snarled back over her shoulder.

Alex was pulling out a chair and sitting down to the break table. Finally a chance to look through the Omni. Amanda stood before the vending machines. “Anyone have any change?” She asked.

“Aha!” Jessica exclaimed pulling out a pair of Keds, “Size 6 too!” She quickly yanked out a chair and pulled on the shoes.

Becky shook her head, handing Amanda a handful of coins, “How cute.”

His grey eyes wandered over them as he lit a cigarette. Exhaling he asked, “Who are you?”
