A/N I changed one thing in chapter one, so it fits along more with my story and Private itself. And even though I know how the fell in love, I'm still going to continue this story because I love writing it, even though I can't seem to find the time to update.

Disclaimer: I don't own them, Kate Brian does.

Walking back across the quad I felt like I was on cloud nine. If I wasn't Ariana Osgood, and I wasn't in the middle of the quad at Easton Academy, I would skip. But then I realized that if I didn't hurry up I'd be late to class, well later than I'd ever been.

When I got there I saw Taylor trying to make up some excuse for me being late.

"Sir, I swear she went back to the dorm to get something, and she had to walk all the way back across the quad and-"

"-Save it Taylor, I'm here professor, I just had to get a book from the library." Proving my little lie further by holding up the library copy of Wuthering Heights.

"Oh, well then class lets get to work."

Wow, only I would be able to pull the library excuse. But since the Professor was watching me like a hawk for some reason I had to pay attention.

"As it is the last three days of classes…" HOLY CONOLI! I completely forgot it was the last four days on campus, until summer! For the rest of the day and the day after I didn't pay attention to anything during class, nobody did, I noticed that even the teachers stopped trying to get us to pay attention.

The second to last day of school was taken over completely by finals but as I finished mine early, I headed back to Billings to pack. Well if you could call having my mom's new nanny pack for me, packing. Yeah, nanny, but that's a whole completely different story. I just told her what to pack and what to leave then I left her to go downstairs to where every one else was hanging out.

I decided to take a walk around campus, clear my head a little before the party in the woods tonight. I was just beyond the quad when I noticed someone following me, then I felt his arms around my waist and I leaned into him. He pulled me behind a building and turned me around, and pushed me against he wall. He was wearing a dark blue and white striped polo and plaid shorts.

I looked into his eyes and he kissed me, not your average kiss by Thomas Pearson, but it was more, soft, gentle like you kiss someone you love. Did that mean Thomas Pearson loved me?!

"Hey, you know how I wanted you to only spend part of the summer with me."

"Yeah." I said nervously.

"I was thinking it'd be better if you stayed the whole summer, what do you think?" he said looking hopeful. Instead of saying yes, I kissed him on the lips.

"I take that as a yes?"

"Duh." Then I leaned into him, and he wrapped his arms around me. We stood there locked in each others embrace, my head on his chest and his head on mine for a few minutes. Then my phone rang.

"Ariana where are you?" Noelle barked.

"Oh, I was just taking a walk around campus, why?"

"We are having a meeting about where to have Kiran's party over the summer."

"Oh, I'll be right over. Sorry I have to go, Billings stuff." I kissed him on the cheek before he could say anything and booked to the dorm.

When I walked into the parlor, Noelle was at the head of the table and they were debating the pros and cons about either Milan or Pairs.

"Finally decided to grace us with your presence?" she joked.

"Funny, but I think we should have it in Greece."

"Hmmm… Kiran?"

"I like it, Greece it is!"

For the rest of the evening we talked about our plans for the summer, I told them I thought a bunch of us should get a hotel in Greece for the summer, and just stay there, but there was only one problem. My parents thought I was going to Martinique with them, or at least my dad did. My parents didn't really do things together anymore after what happened.

"Ariana. Hello?! You there?" Noelle said, snapping her fingers in front of my face for effect and successfully bringing me out of my trance and back into reality.

"Uh, yeah sorry just exited for summer." I said with a completely fake smile. Noelle must've noticed but she kept quiet.

"Enough about summer. Let's talk about the new girls." Noelle started to bring up but was shut down when the Cromwell walked in.

"Hello ladies, I suspect you're all exited for the upcoming summer. But I have decided to have a last minute meeting in the chapel as it is the last night," In response, we all groaned. "I expect to see you all in the chapel at 6 o'clock sharp." Then he left with not so much as a good bye.

"Well, we'll just have to have that little discussion in Greece. Now onto the meeting." We all gathered coats because its always freezing in there.

I can't believe that Crom planned a meeting at 6, on the second to last night and decided to notify everyone at 5:45. Crazy. When we got there we sat down by grade, girls on one side and guys on the other. When he started talking I didn't really pay attention until the Taylor started jabbing me in the side, I looked over and everyone was getting up, the meeting must be over and I looked at my watch, it was only 6:05.

"Taylor, what did he say, I wasn't really paying attention," I asked her.

"I know but all he said was that if we really wanted we could leave tonight, instead of tomorrow. Weird though, but I'm off to call a car. Bye." And she happily walked off toward Billings. I on the other hand went back to where I was with Thomas earlier.

Like he knew I was going to go there, he was suddenly behind me.

"Hey, so do you mind leaving tonight, I had it arranged to get us a private jet."

"No, not at all, I was really hoping to spend as much time with you as possible." I said.

"Great, I'll meet you at the circle around eight, sound good?"

"Yeah, I'll just have the nanny get my things to the circle. I'll see you at eight." I gave him a quick peck and was off. Fantastic one extra day with Thomas and I still can't believe he chose me.

But there was still one problem I had to take care of, my Dad and Martinique. How will I get out of this one?
