Note: I don't own anything. Kate Brian does. Now enjoy the first chapter!
I couldn't believe it. It was January 25th. It had been exactly one month since I had talked to Noelle Lange. I thought back on the conversation that we had. She wanted me to return to Easton. It was hard saying no to Noelle, so even I was surprised when I said I wasn't going back. But how could I go back? Sure, I was a Billings Girl, but that wouldn't stop the painful memories from returning. The girl I thought was my friend, Ariana Osgood, had turned phsyco killed my boyfriend, Thomas Pearson, and then she tried to kill me. No, I could never return to Easton. It was way too painful.
Besides, things were actually starting to get better at home. My mom was actually sober, and I felt like for the first time, I was really starting to get to know her. Things were actually normal.
"Hey Brennan, you up for a game of soccer?"
My heart fluttered for a moment. It couldn't be--was it--Josh Hollis? I shook my head, getting rid of that ridiculous thought. Of course it wasn't Josh. It would never be Josh.
I looked up form my book, which I hadn't even begun to read, and looked instead into the green eyes of Alex Prescott. He was smiling and holding a soccar ball, leaning against the table I was sitting at inside the Croton High library.
Alex had moved to Croton while I had been at Easton. With his good looks and charming personality, he was like the Thomas of Croton High, only with less money and less of a drinking problem. And just like Thomas, he seemed to have fallen for me on the first day he met me. However, unlike with Thomas, I just wasn't interested in Alex. After all, I was still crazy about Josh, even though I had left him over a month ago.
I did have to give Alex credit, though. When the boy wants something, he won't stop until he gets it. This was his fourth attempt to ask me out this week, and It was only Tuesday. I had lost track of how many times he had tried in the past couple of weeks.
"I would, Alex, but I've got a lot of work to do." I said. I felt bad as I saw his bright green eyes, which had been full of hope, darken with sadness. "Maybe another time!" I hadded, trying to make him feel a little better.
He smiled as he pushed his shaggy brown hair out of his eye. "Yeah, maybe." he said and then turned to leave. I sighed and closed my book. I grabbed my black Dior coat, something from the Billings Girls I actually kept, and walked outside into the cold air.
The sky was grey and it looked like it would start pouring at any second. I prayed it wouldn't as I began walking down the street. I knew my parents weren't going to be home until late tonight, so I was heading straight for Wendy's.
When I got there, I walked inside the warm building and was relieved to see that the line was short. All I wanted to do was eat and then go home. And now my eyes were really playing tricks on me, because the guy standing a few feet ahead of me looked like Josh.
OH great. I was actually going crazy. Everyone I saw looked like Josh to me. The guy who worked at the gas station, the ticket taker at the movie theater, and even my math teacher looked like him. Only none of them were him, because what would Josh Hollis be doing in Croton, Pennsylvania?
I laughed to myself at the thought of Josh, a rich Easton Academy student, being inside a Wendy's in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, right, like that owuld ever happen.
And then the look alike turned around. I nearly choked on my spit. I would recognize those blue eyes and blonde curls anywhere. This wasn't just a look alike.
Josh Hollis was actually in Croton.
