"You two, shall be ashamed of yourselves." Headmaster Monroe scolded us.

Josh and I were sitting in his office, in front of his desk on red chairs. The reason we're here? Well, maybe because we were caught making out in the Art Cemetery while Mrs. Lewis-Hanneman was giving a group of people a tour of Easton. Great job, Brennan. Now I knew I was going to be expelled. I could feel it.

"We're very sorry, Headmaster Monroe." Josh apologized for the 5th time.

I couldn't say anything I was so scared. If I were kicked out of Easton, what would I do in Croton? Sit around and watch Scott bring girl after girl home for dinner? Yeah, sounds great.

"You two should be. I'm sorry to say this, but, Miss Brennan, you may no longer be at the Art Cemetery while Mr. Hollis is. Take this as a warning, if this happens again, I will have to take away your keys. And I would hate to do that." He sighed.

"Yes, sir." We both said. I tried to calm my shaking.

"You two are dismissed." He said we both got out of there as quickly as we could. As soon as we were outside of Hell Hall, we snuck around onto the side of the building and just took a minute to figure out how this could have happened.

"I thought… I didn't think anyone would be in there. I never go there when someone's gunna be in there." Josh shook his head. Just as confused as I was.

"I know… I know you wouldn't intentionally get us in trouble." I told him. Putting my hand on his arm.

"What are we going to do?" He asked.

"I guess… we have to find somewhere else to meet." I shrugged a shoulder.

"And where is that going to be?" Josh smiled a bit and walked towards me.

"Well, for now?" I turned and looked around the corner to see if anyone was coming. I then placed my arms on his neck. "This is fine."

I leaned in and kissed him. As we kissed and touched, I started to feel somewhat violated. I pulled away.

"I can't do this." I looked down.

"I'm sorry, we're going too fast." Josh apologized.

I giggled a bit. "No Josh, we've gone way farther than that." We both blushed a bit. "I just… it's weird being out here in the open. For everyone to see." I looked out into the quad.

"I know. What? Would you rather go back to my room?"

I bit my lip smiling and looked up at him. "I should just get going." I picked up my backpack from the ground and looked up at him. "Call me, 'kay?" I asked, looking into his deep blue eyes.

"Sure." He told me. I kissed him on the lips again and turned to leave. As I walked back to Billings, I silently thanked god that we didn't get a whole bunch of trouble. We just got a slap on the wrist.

I opened the door to Billings, walked up to my room, and laid down in my bed. I slapped my hands on my face and dragged them down.

"What hit you?" Noelle asked when she came out of the bathroom.

"The new Headmaster caught me and Josh in the Art Cemetery. Well, actually Mrs. Lewis-Hanneman did. And then she told, but, ugh. Now I can't go to the Art Cemetery, not while Josh is there." I sighed. Wait. Noelle?

"OHMYGOD!" I shouted. I ran up to her and gave her a hug.

"God, Reed, you're like a little Yorkshire terrier." Noelle said sarcastically.

"I'm just! God, why didn't you tell me you were back? You weren't here this morning." I asked.

"Well, I lied. I was actually in Easton when I called you. I wanted to get back and redo my make up before anyone saw me. So I slipped in here and then went back out. I need food, real food. So we went out to eat once we got here. And then we got all my bags here and me. I said bye to Dash, and then I was officially back here in this dump until Spring Break. Woo hoo." Noelle said sarcastically.

"I would have done something for you." I sighed.

"It's fine. Trust me, there was enough done at Hawaii." Noelle smirked.

Oh kay.

"Well, it wasn't the same here with out you." I said sitting back on my bed.

"So, I've heard. Latest news, Reed Brennan gets kicked out of Hollis' favorite building on campus." Noelle smirked.

"Ohmigod, you're making me feel worse." I moaned and fell back.

"Who cares, Reed? Seriously, there are so many other places to hook up with Josh." She said.

"Like where?" I asked, propping myself up with my elbows to look at her.

"Lunch." She smiled.

"Noelle!" I shouted dramatically and fell back on my bed again.

"What? It's not my fault that you guys aren't careful!" Noelle said, walking over to her closet.

"That's the thing! We are. We always make sure nobody's there." I sighed.

"Well, then let it blow over." She waved the situation away.

"Well, this is my last year with Josh, at school with me. I want to make it special." I sighed.

"It's also your last year with me at the same school but you aren't throwing me a party aren't you?" Noelle said sarcastically.

"Well, I would of if someone wouldn't have lied to me about when you were going to come back." I told her and I rolled my eyes. "And, Josh is different."

"I can tell." She put her hand on her hip. "And you just have to know by now that I'm full of surprises."

I pulled out my book and attempted to do my homework for the rest of the night. Josh called; I was distracted and talked to him for about an hour. I stayed in my room with some other Billings girls for a while, just so I wouldn't have to run into Headmaster Monroe.

He was so much better than Crom. If Crom were to deal with me and Josh today, we would be in so much more trouble. And I couldn't handle that right now.

Spring break was in about 2 more months. It was horrible. The first week of February was just around the corner. I couldn't wait until April 1st. Then I could officially leave. I couldn't wait to go back home and see my family. I was finally catching up on my calls back home. Two every week. My mom was getting excited. But I had to keep reminding her that it was only for a week that I was there. And then I was in Italy for the next one. Then on the 14th, I was back in school.

"So, how was it here without me?" Noelle asked. She was unpacking her stuff.

"It wasn't bad. But one person tried to ruin that." I said in a sarcastically happy voice.

"Let me guess." Noelle laughed.

"Amberly's here!" Just then, Queen know it all barged in our room. She threw her arms out and breathed in the air. Then she looked over at Noelle. "Oh, Noelle! You're back!" She practically jumped on Noelle and hugged her.

"And there's the answer." I folded my arms over my chest and smirked at Noelle. Amberly ignored my comment and Noelle pushed Amberly off her.

"Whoa!" Noelle snapped and backed away. "I'm not your older sister."

I lightly giggled.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so happy you're back. I have to go over so much with you. Especially, one thing. When you go away again, I believe that I should be put in charge." She placed her hand on her chest.

I was inches away from just kicking her in the back.

"Well, Amberly, Reed's been here longer than you have. And she's much more experienced with Billings than you will ever be. And she certainly doesn't loose her virginity to random guys, who she doesn't know." Noelle said in a sweet voice. But if you were smart, you'd know she was being sarcastic.

Uhm, about that…

"Oh, so you heard!" Amberly gasped.

"Tell me exactly what happened." Noelle said sitting on her bed. Amberly clapped and sat on Noelle's desk chair.

What?! Since when was Noelle so nice the Amberly? She was just telling everyone to vote her out in Billings. Why am I always the one who's confused?

"Well, my friends dared me. I knew him when I was in middle school." She began.

This was only last year. Oh, go on.

"And I and he used to have this really strong connection. So when I saw him at the party, I knew something was going to happen between us that night. It so totally was!" She said giddily.

It so totally was! Hahahahahaha. I mocked her in my mind.

"So my friend was like go up there and start dancing with him! So, I did. And let's just say, it got hot!" She gasped. "So he kissed me. Hard. I was amazed. After that he took me to this secret room, I had no idea how he found it, but it was amazing. Perfect for us. So we began kissed, and then he slid his hand down my—"

"Ok!" I said loudly. "I am just going to save myself from having to hear anymore and go." I picked up my book and backpack and left the room.

"Ugh, fine, now you can't eavesdrop anymore!" Amberly spat. I swear she was going to stick her tongue out.

"Oh my god! I think I might die!" Then I shut the door and walked down the hall to Constance Talbot and Kiki Thorpe's room. I knocked on the door, thank god Constance answered.

"Hey." I said.

"Reed! Do you need something?" She smiled. Her freckles seemed to move on her skin.

"Uh, Amberly invaded my room. Do you mind if I study in here?" I asked her.

"No! Come in!" She let me in and shut the door behind me. I sat down on her bed and placed my book and backpack on the ground.

"Kiki's out right now. I think the library getting something." Constance shrugged. "So what was Amberly doing in your room?"

"Welcoming Noelle back." I said, picking up my book.

"She's back already?" Constance asked confused.

"Yeah, she's in my room. And Amberly's telling her about loosing her virginity on New Years." I shuddered at the fact.

"Ew, gross!" Constance laughed. "So what are you working on?"

"History. We're in the same class. Did you finish the reading?" I asked.

"Yup." She smiled.

"Lucky." I sighed.

I stayed in Constance's room until I thought it was safe to return to mine again. I thanked Constance and then left around 10.

"Noelle?" I asked.

"Reed! Where the hell did you go? You missed a good story." Noelle raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, I can only imagine." I sighed.

"She's a very graphic girl." Noelle said.

"Let's just stop there." I told her. Noelle laughed at my reaction to this whole Amberly and some random guy having sex at the New Years Party, that I helped plan. Nightmares…

"Why are you so uncomfortable when it comes to talking about this? You've done it with Hollis." Noelle pointed out.

"How did you know that?… Wait, never mind." I sighed. She laughed again. She really did know everything.

"Please, you were almost too happy the next day on the phone." Noelle smiled.

"I was happy." I stood up a little bit more straight. "But, I'm not uncomfortable, I'm just grossed out. And speaking of, why are you being so nice to Amberly?" Then I said in a more hushed voice, "I thought we were kicking her out."

If she is going to say I changed my mind, she's in for it.

"Reed, its all part of the plan. I act nice to her, and she never suspects it. Then, one day, she's gone! I think I'm just going to say, Billings seems a little bit too crowded. Someone has to go. And no matter what the votes are, I'm saying Amberly's out. And, daddy said I had to be nice to her. But, how many times do I get so see him?" Noelle said in a whisper. We couldn't talk very loud because Amberly was next door.

She was all by herself, just because Sabine was gone. She was sleeping in my old bed. Using my old desk. Oh well, it's all in the past Reed. You don't have to worry about that stuff ever again.

"I'm gunna go to sleep." I told Noelle.

"Ok, I'll be right back." She slipped out of the room and closed the door. I turned off the light and got under the covers. I just wanted to go to sleep. I can show my face tomorrow morning.

"Can you guys believe this weather? It's like we live on an ice cap." Portia shuddered. She was referring to the freezing snow we've been getting mountain loads of. They've had trucks come and clear the snow out 3 times a week. If they didn't, we wouldn't be able to leave our dorms. That would be bad.

"I know. Why didn't I go to school in California?" Rose asked, we laughed.

"Thank god they serve something hot." Vienna rolled her eyes.

"I'm not up there." London joked. They both laughed and high fived.

"Has anyone seen Noelle?" I asked.

There were heads shaking and a few no's. I sighed. She was there this morning but she took a shower after me and I was so hungry I left. She said she'd meet up with me at breakfast. But she wasn't here yet.

"I bet she's just talking to Dash on the phone." Tiffany shrugged.

"Ohmigod, can you believe their getting married?" Vienna squealed.

"She's so going to pick me as a maid of honor!" Portia flashed a smile.

"Says who?!" Tiffany asked, "I've known her since we were in diapers." Tiffany put a grape in her mouth and made a 'so there' face. Oh here we go.

I smiled at them and Josh took a seat next to me just like every other morning. I turned and smiled. He gave me a quick kiss on the lips. We never kissed a whole lot around our friends. It seemed weird. Especially at breakfast. And the last thing we needed was headmaster Monroe to see us doing anything again.

"Hey." I smiled again.

"Hi." Josh replied. He seemed tense.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

"Uh…" Before he could finish, someone slammed down a newspaper across from me. I jumped a little. The whole table did.

"They let her go." Noelle had the most evil look on her face. She was leaning on her right leg, arms crossed over her chest. She looked to mad. "They let that bitch go!" She said louder.

Josh put his elbows on the table and placed his head in his hands. He ran them down his face. "Noelle, put it away." He told her.

"Why? Shouldn't we warn people?! What if she comes back, Hollis?"

"Who?" Tiffany asked, she grabbed the newspaper. All of the Billings girls crowded around her. Then they all looked at Noelle, then to me.

"What?" I asked. I didn't get it. "Let me see the paper." Wait, it couldn't be.

"No, it can't be possible. I mean, she almost killed me. And— I— just let me see the paper." I asked. Portia handed it over to me. They all stood up straight to see my reaction.

TEENAGE GIRL RELEASED

Sabine DuLac released to house arrest back in home state

I couldn't breathe. I was going to faint. I scanned over the article. She was going to come back. House arrest wasn't going to do anything to her. She was going to come after me. And finish off what her sister started. I slammed the paper down on the table. I stood up, and left the room. I couldn't deal with this. This wasn't real. I was just dreaming.

"Reed!" I heard someone call my name. I ignored them. Someone grabbed my arm. I turned around and screamed. If that was Sabine, or Ariana, or someone else trying to kill me, I just wanted someone to stop them. But Josh grabbed me and I tried to fight him off.

"Reed, it's me!" Josh said. "Reed, its Josh."

I stopped and I wrapped my arms around him quickly. Someone came up behind me and put their hand on my shoulder.

"Reed, we're going to get you through this. We won't let her possibly get near you." Noelle told me. I new it was her hand. I let out a sigh and buried my head in Josh's chest. He only brought me closer to me.

I needed to know that this time, someone was there for me. I needed to know, that I wouldn't have to be scared. At least not alone. I didn't ever want to do this alone.

"Let's take her back to Billings." Noelle told Josh. He wrapped his arm around me and led me back to my dorm. We were soon walking up the stairs, and I was sitting on my bed, laying my head on Josh in seconds. He wrapped both arms around me.

That's when the tears came.

"What am I going to do?" I whispered. Tears leaking down my cheeks.

"Reed, you're never going to leave my side." Noelle said.

"Mine neither." Josh added.

"We're here for you, Reed. But if you get any e-mails, any text, or you see anything, you have to tell us." Noelle said seriously. She was trying to be sincere. She seemed like a completely new person.

Josh turned so we were looking at each other. He whipped my tears away on my cheeks. Holding my face. He kissed my forehead. And that's when I really started to cry. That just did it. I have no idea why. Josh pulled me to him and I cried on his chest.

"I don't want to go through this again, Josh." I cried.

"I know you don't, Reed." He kissed the top of my head and placed me in his lap. I put my head on the spot between his neck and his shoulder. I couldn't breathe in his scent, which didn't help. I was too busy crying. I ended up crying myself to sleep in Josh's arms.

I woke up and I was lying on my bed. I heard people talking. I wasn't facing them, so they couldn't tell I was awake.

"What are we going to do?" Noelle asked.

"We can't let anything happen to her." Josh said.

"Well that's for sure." Noelle spat. "I just, why can't Easton do anything? They are the ones who let that psycho in here. They should get a squad around here."

"I know, but they don't think she'll escape. I don't even know how she got out of that crack house she was in."

"She used her 'fake' I'm a sweet little girl Sabine act." Noelle scoffed. "She should be thrown away somewhere."

I decided to just turn around and talk. I sat up.

"How are you feeling, Reed?" Noelle asked. She came and sat down next to me on my bed.

"Horrible." I mumbled. I slouched over and played with my bead spread.

"Reed, she's not going to be going anywhere. They have cops around her house and everything. She can't possibly escape. She'd have to be able to kill them all at once." Noelle smirked.

"Noelle, it's just the whole fact! She tried to kill me, she drugged me, oh and my boyfriend, and she… she's sisters with Ariana." I whispered the last part.

"I know, Reed." She said she gave me a sympathetic look. "I won't let anything happen to you. Same with Josh."

I looked up at Josh. He was standing at the foot of my bed. He went and sat down at my desk chair next to my bed.

"I know I know you guys will. It's just her. She's too smart for us." I told them.

"We'll make it through this. We'll get her back in jail for good." Noelle said firmly. Like she would do it no matter what it takes.

"I don't know if you should stay at Easton." Noelle finally said.

I put my head in my hands. "I knew you were going to say that."

"She's got a point. You need to stay somewhere with an alarm system, and locks." Josh said.

"Where though? And how could I possibly keep up on my school work?" I asked.

"We'll work something out with the Dean. Once he hears our situation, he'll definitely do something." Noelle said.

I could only hope. Now I really couldn't wait for spring break.

Well, what did you think? First chapter, to my first sequel! How exciting. No really! I am!

So, I was reading my Paradise Lost story today. Yes, I'm just weird like that. I like to take a look in the past sometimes. Scold myself for the horrible writing, and bad plot line! And still wonder why people read my story. LOL, I can just say you guys are the best! Anyways, lol i'm getting off topic! I was reading it and my authors note on the last chapter said I last updated on my birthday... Yeah. My birthday was five months ago... This is bad. I now apologize

I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SORRY! :[ I didn't realize it was that long.

I finally put it up though! And you guys may have noticed, but I have Reed's stalker in here! And it will definitely not be who you thought it was! mwahahah! I'm so excited to see if anyone guesses who it is!

But, in my last story, it was more revolved around Josh and Reed.

Now decision time!
Do you want a lot of Josh and Reed in this story, since it's their last year together at Easton?

Or

Do you want a lot of drama, and stalker action, because lauren forgot to put it in the last book?

Tell me what you think!

Oh, and reviews? The more I get, the faster I will update! Trust me!

And it helps if you guys update your stories too. I love them all! :] And it gets me out of any possible writers block.

Let the story begin!
