Private

By: Ari Baecker

Please Note: This is my first story, and I hope you like it. But all the outfits that Reed is wearing when I describe them will be on my profile, including this one. Anyway, on with the story! Oh, yeah… And Billings doesn't get torn down until later.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own the Private series, but would gladly take over if Kate Brian wanted to hand it over to me. What im saying is, I don't own nothin'.

"Wake up, lazy fat ass!" Noelle screamed in my ear. I could hear laughing at what must have been my face. I felt my eyes bulge.

We had moved my things back into Billings yesterday.

So, I got up and went to take a shower. I stayed in there for a half hour before getting out and drying and straightening my hair. I left the bathroom and went to pick out my outfit for the day. I settled on a pair of distressed jeans, but because of the cold, put on grey leggings underneath, I white shirt with Minnie Mouse on it doing a pose that looked like they got it from Betty Boop, a leather jacket, and my tall brown Uggs. To go with it, I chose a brown a Mark by Mark Jacobs brown Ukita leather over the shoulder bag. I also put my Burberry scarf and my Aviator sunglasses by Betsey Johnson.

I then proceeded to go back into the bathroom and do my make-up. Which by the way, I failed at, causing Noelle to come in and take over. Once she was finished, she looked at me through the mirror with a satisfied grin. I rolled my eyes and walked out of the bathroom without saying thank you.

"Hey!" Noelle yelled at me with mock hurt.

"Yeah, I can tell you're devastated."

"Hmp." She said, turning her head from me. Just then, her phone rang.

"I'll catch up with you." She said and ran to get her phone. So, I walked out of my room and down the stairs. As I was turning the corner out of the building, I ran into a body with a familiar scent… paint.

"Josh." He caught me so I didn't fall and was still holding onto my waste and arm.

"Um, you can let go of me now…" I told him and his face immediately turned red.

"Listen Reed, I – " I cut him off, by stepping around him and running out the door. Immediately missing the feeling that he gave when we touched.

By the time I finished my breakfast and made it to the chapel, I was already late, so I snuck in through the side doors, that led to a hallway, which at the back had a building entrance. When I got in, I was immediately satisfied with the warmth. Slowly and unnoticeably, I sank into my normal pew beside Constance Talbot. One of my best friends from when I first came to Easton and was shoved in Pemberley.

As I was taking off my jacket, I looked around at all the faces watching Headmaster Cromwell introduce our new Headmaster; Headmaster Hathaway, and noticed one face in particular looking at me…

Gage Coolidge?

When I looked at him, his face turned red and he turned around to face the front. But I noticed someone else looking at me too. But when I looked at him, he was shooting daggers at Gage. For staring at me? What does he care? He's with Ivy now. Gage didn't seem to notice though.

Wonder what that was about…

That sucked… I just needed a way to start the thing. So, after about an hour of trying to figure out how to get the stupid thing up, I posted. Hope you like it! Anyway, ideas! This is your story, not mine. Well, technically its mine. Well, even more technically is Kate Brian's. WHATEVER! You know what I mean… I think I forgot the disclaimer… Imma go do that. Berb. Okay, back. SO… REVIEW!
