"You did that to my room?" I whispered in a low voice, "what the hell is your problem?"

"I didn't do that to your room" Leanne said in a pleasing smile, "but I know who did"

"Who?"

"Why should I tell you?" she scoffed, "what did you ever do for me?"

"Leanne, I'm not kidding" I said stepping closer to her, "who did that to my room?"

"I'm sure the police will find out and tell you" she said while stepping away from me and towards the table, "but until they do… you better keep your trap shut"

"And if I don't?" I asked whipping around to face her. She had nothing on me, she couldn't do anything to me that would make me back down, and knowing that made me feel a little more sure of myself.

"I'll tell your boyfriend about your little secret" she said slowly.

Except that.

"How did you know?" I said lowly, "who told you?"

"There are no secrets in Billings" Leanne said simply.

"But your not even in Billings, you got kicked out, remember?"

"I got kicked out" Leanne said, and then she changed her gaze from me to someone pass me. I followed her gaze to the front door of the restaurant where someone was just walking in. Natasha. "But she didn't" Leanne said, "and because she's a Billings Alumni, she knows everything that's happens in Billings. Which means she knows everyone who's hazing. And we all know how much Josh hates hazing, especially since its his little sisters that are being hazed."

I looked back from Natasha to Leanne. She wasn't bluffing. She was seriously going to tell Josh that I was hazing his sisters, if I told anyone that she knew who did that to my room. She was going to ruin my relationship, if I ruined her life.

"Fine" I said in a hushed tone, "I wont tell anyone"

"Good" she said with a devilish smile on her face, "oh and don't forget, we still have that thing with Noelle"

I completely forgot about that. Of course she would still want revenge on Noelle, and of course I had to do as she said because she still had that Josh thing on me.

"What are you going to do with her?" I asked.

"You'll see" she said. It looked like she was going to say something else, but she stopped.

"Hey Reed" a voice said behind me. I turned around and Michael was standing right in front of me, his once curly black hair was now replaced by a Hollywood type hairstyle. His hair was still black, but instead of being curly it was flat, and instead of going in all different directions, it was parted down the middle and looked like it had been volumized on each side. Only it didn't look like it was parted down the middle, if you got really close you could have seen it was. He looked kind of like Dash, not the hairstyle, but both Abercrombie and Fitch model worthy. All in all, he looked much better with this hairstyle.

"Hey" I said smiling up to him, his gray eyes were still as piercing as I remembered them, "you changed you hair?"

"Yeah" he said, running his hands through his hair, "I liked it better this way"

"Yea" I said agreeing, "it looks amazing"

"Thanks" he said, causing a blush to seep across his face.

"Hey, Reed" Natasha said stepping next to Michael.

"Hey, Natasha" I said smiling at her.

Natasha looked from me to Michael and back to me.

"I'll see you later" she said stepping away from us and towards the table.

"So, um" Michael said, "I heard about Billings. Sorry"

I looked up at him, and he smiled down at me.

"Uh… thanks" I said, "So, you're here with your family?"

"Yea" he said smiling, "my mom, dad and sister."

"Cool" I said smiling.

"Yeah" he said, "Uh… what about your family?"

"They aren't here" I said, "they're in Pennsylvania"

"Then what are you doing here?" Michael asked curiously.

"I'm with Josh and his family" I said turning around to point to Josh. He was looking back at Michael and I, and he was trying to look like us talking didn't bother him; but I could see that it did.

"Oh" Michael said, "well I guess I'll see you around"

He must have noticed how Josh was looking at us.

"Yeah" I said, "I'll see you later"

I walked back to the table and sat down next to Josh.

"Reed" Natasha as she sat down next to Leanne, "you know Michael?"

"Yeah" I said, "he was the other guy when I did the ceremony thing"

"Aww" Natasha said, "it looks like he likes you"

I snuck a peek at Josh, and he suddenly became interested in the salt shaker.

"So how about we go to the mall after breakfast" Kiran said, "I mean Reed does need new clothes"

"Actually" Leanne said interrupting, "Reed and I are going by my house after breakfast. I need her help with something."

My head snapped in her direction and she smiled sweetly back at me.

"With what?" Josh asked, looking surprised at me.

"She can't say" Leanne said, "but you'll see, eventually"

Josh looked at me confused.

"When were you going to tell me that you had to go to Leanne's house?" Josh whispered, obviously upset.

All I could do was shrug. I didn't even know that I had to go to Leanne's house myself. But I was scared for the reason.

"Okay" Natasha said, she was also confused, "so we'll meet you two at the mall?"

"Actually" Leanne said, "its might take all day. So we'll just meet you guys for dinner"

"Reed and I already have dinner plans" Josh said, then he turned to me, "dinner with my family"

"Its okay" Leanne said, "we'll be done at around 4 anyway"

I looked down and kept my eyes trained on my breakfast, but suddenly, I was so hungry anymore.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We're here" Leanne as she pulled into the driveway of a townhouse, "my home"

I opened the passenger's door of her cherry red Porsche and got out of her car. Her townhouse had a brick look to the wall, and had a white point roof.

Leanne got out and walked up to the inside her house, I followed.

She walked up her long white swirly stairs and into her room. It was filled with white and red everything. She sat down on her computer chair and I sat down on her desk. She twirled around on her chair to type something into her iMac computer.

"So…" Leanne said typing away on her computer, "I was thinking more along the lines of humiliating Noelle. I don't want to hurt her, I just want to get her back for what she did to me"

"What exactly did she do to you?" I asked.

Leanne stopped typing, and it looked like she was debating whether or not she should tell me. Finally, she took a deep breath.

"It was the night before the test" she started, "I was cramming before the test because I didn't do much studying the day before, and Natasha was out with Kiran doing something, God knows what. Then Arianna and Noelle came in my room and shut the door behind them. They told me that they needed me to get caught cheating on a test. At first I was very reluctant. I don't cheat on tests" she turned her chair around and faced me, "I Leanne Shore do not cheat on tests! But they threatened me. They said if I didn't, they would tell my parents about Natasha, and you already know what affect that has on me. So I had no choice. The next morning, when the teacher handed out the test, I pulled out a piece of paper with all the answers. I made no attempt to hide it."

"Wait" I said stopping her, "how did you get the answers in the first place?"

She turned back around to face her computer, "They made me steal it the night before. Anyway, I got caught. I got expelled for not only cheating, but breaking into a teacher's room, and stealing. 3crimes. That was the most humiliating day of my life" she turned to me, "and I want Noelle to feel exactly what I felt"

"So what are you going to do?" I asked a little frightened, the vengeance that was once in her eyes came back again.

"We're going to embarrass her, in front of everyone" Leanne said, "and then she'll know how I felt"

She turned around and faced her computer again.

"Come here" she said.

I got up of the bed and walked towards here computer.

"This is what your going to do to her?" I asked.

"This is what we're going to do to her" Leanne said.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I spent a little longer at Leanne's house than I expected, actually 2hours longer. By the time Leanne dropped me at Josh's house it was 6:45.

"Your late" Josh said as I walked into his room. He was sitting on the bed, watching the door. It was like he had been sitting in that exact same position for hours. He probably was.

"I know" I said dropping my purse on the floor and walking over to give him a kiss on the cheek.

"My parents left 20mintues ago, dinner is at 7:30" he said.

"I'm going to take a shower right now" I said. I walked into the bathroom and started the water.

Josh walked in behind me.

"Are your parents mad?" I asked turning to face him.

"No, they said they'll just meet us at the restaurant"

"Good" I said smiling, "then I'll be done in 10minutes"

Josh walked out and shut the door behind him. I hopped into the shower and took a bath for 10minutes. When I got back out, Josh was out of the room. I looked on the bed to see which outfit he had chosen for me. On the bed was a backless beige halter top with gold bedazzled straps, black skinny jeans, golden wedges, and black two button blazer.

I quickly got out of my towel and changed into the clothes that Josh got for me. I curled my hair and put makeup and accessories on. And then grabbed my purse.

When I went downstairs, Josh was standing in front of the front door waiting. I walked up to him and smiled, he tried not to smile, but eventually a smile was plastered on his face.

"Are you still mad?" I asked wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I'll get over it" he said kissing me on the neck, "but we have to leave, now"

Josh opened the front door for me and we left his house.

We drove down the highway until we reached a restaurant. Josh pulled into the parking spot and stopped the car. I got out, and walked around to meet Josh still in the car. I opened his door, and he was fumbling with something in his hands.

"What is that?" I asked. He opened his hand and there was a small box in it. I took the box from him and opened it. A blue topaz engagement ring was inside of it.

"Josh…" I said, looking at the ring. It was the most beautiful ring I've ever seen, "its beautiful"

"Yeah" Josh said getting out of the car. He took the ring from me and placed it inside his pocket, and then he took my hand in his.

"Who is it for?"

"For Gia" Josh said.

"Gia?" I asked confused, why would Gia need a wedding ring?

"You'll see" Josh said.

We walked inside the restaurant where the entire place was completely fancy. It had chandlers everywhere, and slow music was playing from a violinist.

Josh walked up to the front desk, and said something to the man.

"Follow me" the man said in a thick English accent. We followed him to the table where Josh's entire family was sitting.

"Its about time" Lynn said, and got up and walked towards us.

"Hey Reed" he said smiling.

"Hey Lynn" I said, and then made my way to the table. I sat in front of Gia and beside Tori. She was playing on her phone, as usual.

"Hey Reed" Gia said smiling at me, "what's up?"

"Nothing" I said smiling back, I was going to ask her what the ring was for, but Lynn interrupted me.

"Can I have your attention, everyone?" Lynn asked as he stepped up behind Gia. Josh came and sat on the other end of me, and took my hand.

"Watch" he whispered.

"I met this beautiful lady 5years ago at a Thanksgiving party" Lynn started as he put his hand on Gia's shoulder, "and today I want you all to witness something"

Lynn got down on one knee beside Gia's chair, and Gia turned her chair to face him. He pulled out the small box that Josh had in his hand before, and opened it.

"Gia, this ring has been passed down in our family for generations. Each son in our family gives the love of his life this ring. My grandfather gave it to my grandmother, my dad gave it to my mom, and now, I want to give it to you" Lynn said, "Gia Elizabeth Manning , will you marry me?"
