Here it is!! The 7th chapter!! Please leave reviews!! I really help me a lot!! It gives me ideas!! And please tell me if you like Sawyer for
Reed because I noticed a lot of people who wanted him for Reed. But, of course, it still didn't beat the reviews cheering for Josh!!
OH.
MY.
GOD.
For a second, nobody moved. It's as if all the air in the room had been sucked because nobody breathed. Everyone just plainly stared at me
and Josh. Even Ivy has a shocked reaction on her face. They know it. They know all that has happened between me and Josh. They know that
me and Josh are one of the longest couples in Easton but our relationship had been ruined by that two-faced psycho bitch Sabine. They know
that this task is just pure torture. They know that we both cannot stand being near each other because of all the drama we had. And I, for one,
can't stand being near him because I still……love him. And he doesn't care about me anymore. And now, this? That new headmaster just
expects us to get over it and always be together even if it's just a few short days? That will just seem like a thousand years for us.
So this is what Noelle's surprise had been. I'm sure she has something to do with this. Because even if my eyes were blurred with
embarrassment, I can see her smile at me meaningfully across the pews. Why Noelle,why? I made a note to myself to immediately ask Noelle
about this after morning services. She has a lot of explaining to do. Headmaster Hathaway noticed the sudden silence and the building tension
in the room. "Ms. Brennan, it's okay with you, right?" Headmaster asked with hope present in his eyes. Right, be strong Reed. You cannot be the
first one to give up. You can't show Josh that you haven't moved on. I reminded myself.
"Of course Mr. Hathaway, it's perfectly fine with me. I'd be honored to help. I'm just not so sure if Mr. Hollis agrees to work with me in helping
your child." I replied as I put my chin a little bit higher. Everyone's eyes darted to me. "Reed, looks like there is some people reuniting on
Valentine's." Constance nudged me teasingly on the side. I decided to ignore her remark because I know that it won't happen..ever. They're
shocked with my response to the Headmaster. What did they expect? Did they expect me to decline and wallow here all day? Well, they're in
for a big surprise. I'm a new Reed now.
"Oh, good. Mr. Hollis, aren't you willing? If you disagree I can just pick someone else to help him. But still, of course, it won't change the fact
that you and Ms. Brennan will still be partners for the dance." Headmaster drifted his attention to Josh.
I noticed Josh's head that was bent down a while ago suddenly shot up. I don't know if who's more surprised with his response, him or me. "I'd
be glad to work with Ms. Brennan. Thank you Headmaster for trusting me with this opportunity." Josh unexpectedly said. "Well, then all is
settled. You two will always be with Sawyer to help him adjust to Easton. I'm grateful to both of you. I also hope that you will enjoy this
experience." As he said that, I can't help but see a twinkle in his eye. With that reaction, I know that he knows that Josh and I had something
in the past. Noelle, what had you done? "Okay, everyone, you're dismissed. Don't forget to check the list of your partners for the dance. Good
day." With that, the headmaster left and so did the students that kept at glancing at me and Josh. But with that encounter with the
headmaster I am starting to think that things won't be that bad after all.
OR NOT. Two minutes after morning services, my pulse already started to race. I can't do this. I can't always be near Josh. I can't be near him
and not touch him in any way possible, because there is always the issue about Upton and Ivy. I haven't even called Upton. I can't. I just can't.
Even the strong Reed can't handle this situation. I need to find Noelle. I need to find her and tell her to stop whatever she is doing and just tell
the headmaster to assign somebody else. I just didn't have the guts to tell that to the headmaster's face a while ago when he asked me. After
scanning the dismissing crowd of students for a while, I can't find her. Maybe I'll just talk to her at Billings. Besides, she has a LOT of explaining
to do. I didn't even bother to check the list of partners for the dance because it would just remind me all over again like a slap in the face on
what a horrible night that would be.
As I was fast-walking alone towards my class at the side of the driveway in the quad, I noticed some blond hair in the bushes. Blond hair, yes,
blond hair. My thoughts were suddenly diverted to the picture taken by Tiffany's father in St. Barths. There was blond hair there coming from an
unidentified person, the person who is possibly my stalker. ..God. Why is my stalker here? I suddenly felt a rush of fear.
As I noticed a big SUV approaching, I thought that I need to catch this stalker. I need to catch this stalker in action and all of this will be over.
But before I could move my feet, the blond hair in the bushes was gone and somebody pushed me. I fell flat on the ground. I felt a twinge of
pain because as I fell with my upper body first, my ankles twisted. The big SUV is approaching and if I don't move right now I will be crushed to
death. I can't move. I can't even crawl to the side because the SUV is fast-approaching. I don't have time.
So I just closed my eyes and waited. But just before the SUV hit me, I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around me and lifted me out of the
driveway. I was saved…….by who?
That's it!! I really hope you liked it!! Leave reviews!! Review!! And please also tell me who you think saved Reed!! And do you think her
stalker is!! I know that I'm asking you a lot of question but I just really like to compare your ideas with mine!! Please review!!
