Fifth grade, OSS, 3rd day
Ashley's POV (the one mean to Gracie the first day)
I look down at Amanda on the bottom bunk. She had been poking my mattress, which was our code to talk. She was pointing to the door, signaling to go outside. I quietly got out of bed and grabbed a jacket and walked out the door.
"What?" I asked in an annoyed tone. I had been asleep and it was cold out here.
"I need to tell you a secret, but you have to promise not to tell anyone" She said. Her eyes had a mischievous look to them and she had a smirk on her face.
"I promise," I say with my fingers crossed behind my back. I didn't feel bad about lying to her. After all, we weren't friends. We just went to the same church together.
"Its about Ivy" She said with a grin.
Ivy's POV
I woke up with a start. I had been having the worst dream. Amanda was telling someone my secret and making fun of me. I rolled into Gracie more and felt better. I wonder what she would do if she knew?
Well I never have to find out. It was just a dream.
Amanda's POV
I heard the cabin leader saying it was time to get up. At first I didn't remember last night, then it all came flooding back to me. I smiled. Of course Ashley's going to tell everyone. She can't keep a secret to save her life. Everyone will probably know by tonight. Then Gracie won't want to hang out with her anymore. It's all so perfect.
Gracie's POV
I woke up cranky. I was fast asleep but then I woke up when Amanda and Ashley went outside in the middle of the night. I couldn't hear what they were saying but they sure thought it was funny. I quickly go to the bathroom so it won't be taken again today.
When I come back out I see that Ivy is gone. It's a one-person bathroom so she couldn't be in there. Then I notice that both Amanda and Ashley are gone too.
I walk outside and hear voices coming from behind the cabin. I hear Ashley.
"You are such a freak" she says and gives a bitter laugh.
"I can't believe I was ever friends with you" That one was Amanda. I thought she was nice. They are leaving now. I hear one last comment "And don't bother with Gracie, she's not like you".
I have a feeling Ivy wouldn't want me to be eavesdropping on this. As I go into the cabin I think, me? How am I any different than Ivy?
Ivy's POV
I sit on the ground crying. I can't help who I am. How did they find out? Then Gracie runs up to me. Oh god, how much did she hear?
"Ivy, what's wrong?" she asks, her voice full of concern.
Thank goodness she didn't hear what they said. I bury my face in my hands and tell her to go away. But she doesn't. She sits down next to me and rubs my back.
I break then and just cry into her shoulder. She makes a calming shhhhhhh noise. Not like telling me to be quiet but to help calm me and get me to stop crying. If only she knew. Then she would never hug me again.
