So I watched "Orange Is the New Black" the day it was released and fell in love with it. I had an idea so I decided to post it here. It's my first attempt at fanfic and hey! The first fanfic for the show so yay! Hope you like it, let me know what you think.

I apologize ahead of time because the first chapter kind of sucks but all well...I'll probably go back and change it but here it is anyway!

P.s. this doesn't pick up exactly where the season ended, I decided to not include what happened at the VERY end of the season. Also, there is no femslash in here, just pointing that out.

Piper and Alex still weren't speaking. Alex had made it clear that she didn't want Piper to even go near her anymore. Piper had attempted to start conversations a couple of times but the only words Alex would ever tell her were always either "get the fuck away from me" or "drop off your laundry and leave".

Piper tried to get over it and move on, but something inside of her needed forgiveness or something with Alex. She just needed to be okay with her. She didn't know why but she needed it.

"Yo Chapman!" Piper snapped out of her day dreaming by her new roommate, Taystee. "You headin' to lunch or what? All you do anymore is sleep and work and maybe eat if you can get yourself out of bed in time."

"Uh, yeah. Yeah Taystee, I'm coming." Piper stood up from her bed and followed Taystee and Poussey into the cafeteria for lunch.

"Cheer up Chapman!" Poussey nudged her. "You'll get over that girl of yours. You should be happy you got whatever the fuck your fiancé's name is." Piper ignored her and walked over to the line, waiting for food.

Piper noticed a new face to the prison at the front of the line. "No… fucking… way…" Piper muttered to herself.

"Everything cool, Chapman?" Taystee asked. Piper ignored her and walked over to the new girl. Taystee shook her head saying, "Man, Vause really fucked with that girl's mind."

Piper noticed Alex had already seen the new girl and was now talking to her. "Sid?!" Piper interrupted.

The girl turned around with her tray of food and smiled, "Fuck me, this douche nossle's here too?!" She asked Alex, smiling. Alex just awkwardly nodded at Sid. Sid's smile disappeared as she whispered to Alex, "Are we still made at her for leaving ten years ago?" Alex shook her head no. "Great!" She looked past the two confused women and found Nicky. "Hey, there's my new roommate. Come join me, I can tell we've got a LOT to talk about." She pulled Alex and Piper to a table that Nicky and Morello were sitting at.

"Sid, this is Morello. Morello, Sid." Nicky said, introducing her. "I see you've already met Chapman and Vause."

"Oh shit, right." Sid said sitting down, "I forgot you guys call each other by last names." Sid looked at Piper and Alex and forced them to sit down on either side of her.

"So what's yours?" Morello asked.

"I don't go by mine. My name's Sid, nice to meet ya. Sid is all I go by." Sid explained.

"Sid, what are you doing in here?" Piper finally asked.

"Yeah and how long are you here for?" Alex also spoke up. Piper looked at Alex but Alex just looked away and looked towards Sid.

"Something stupid, I'll be here for a while." Sid shrugged and took a bite of her food. "I want to know your story Pipes. Why are you in here?"

"I… uh…" Piper started.

"Carried a suitcase full of drug money ten years ago." Everyone else at the table finished her sentence for her, including Big Boo who was sitting down.

"Who's this?" Big Boo asked.

"I'm Sid." Sid answered Big Boo then looked back at Piper, "Seriously? How much time you got left?"

"About a year." Piper answered.

"And how much you serve?"

"A couple of months…" Piper quietly answered.

Everyone at the table rolled their eyes at Piper. "You get busted for drug dealing and all you get is a year? You fucking kidding me?" Sid asked. "And you," Sid turned to Alex, "How much time you got? Because I know you're in here for that whole drug thing, you have to be."

"I have too many to count." Alex answered.

"At least you two still got each other for another year, right?" Sid asked, taking another bite of her sandwich. She looked up and saw everyone looking at her and the other two beside her awkwardly avoiding eye contact. "What? What'd I say?" Sid looked at Alex and Piper but they just looked away. "Holy shit, you two split? Or you never got back together from ten stupid years ago?"

"Oh they got back together all right." Nicky absentmindedly said.

"We're not together…" Piper interrupted Nicky.

"Wait, how did you even know we were ever together?" Alex asked. "We never acted like a couple around you. We had rules."

"Oh come on Al, I was eight. I wasn't retarded. I didn't know what a lesbian was, but I still knew you two were doing each other." Sid replied, making the others laugh slightly. "I mean you can try to hide it all you want but it was a little obvious when I would only be a wall away at night and all I here is Pipes here moaning and screaming 'I'm cumming! I'm cumming!' I mean it was very…distracting." Everyone laughed at Sid except for Piper whose cheeks were bright red as she looked away.

"So you knew these two ten years ago? How?" Morello asked Sid.

"Sidney here was a stupid runaway. Eight years old. Helpless as hell. Didn't know where the fuck to go." Alex answered for her. "If it wasn't for how bad I felt or how adorable she was back then, I would've just left her."

"Bull shit." Sid turned to Alex, "I'm still adorable." She joked.

"Yeah, yeah." Alex looked at Sid somewhat upset, "I always hoped you wouldn't end up in a place like this." Sid looked down at her food.

Red walked up to the table and passed Nicky and a couple of others a yogurt. She looked at Sid and gave her one too, being nice. "No thanks. I don't want to be in like your debt or something." Sid slid the yogurt back to Red. "Besides, this food is delicious. I'm glad someone knows how to cook around here because I need good food to get through my day."

"Take the yogurt. Free of charge." Red slid the yogurt back to Sid, smiling then walked away.

"Way to go, new girl." Big Boo said. "Red runs the kitchen."

"Seriously? She already likes you?! She starved me for days." Piper complained.

"You insult the food on your first day or something?" Sid asked her. Piper nodded. "Never insult the food my friend. Food is food. You don't like it, you starve." Sid opened her yogurt and started eating it, somewhat mocking Piper and making it hard for everyone else not to laugh. "So…when do I get out of this orange crap and get into the khakis like all you cool kids?" Sid joked.
