Chapter 14! Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I've been really busy with school:)

Meredith's POV:

"Did you hear what happened?" I hear a girl whisper to her friend.

I pull my hood up trying to cover my face. The whole school heard what happened. My break up with Drew is the latest gossip at Rosewood.

"Did you hear?" Maddie asks

"Obviously." I roll my eyes, "I was the one who got dumped."

"Not about that. Someone stole the answers to the history test." She exclaims.

I swallow hard. How did they figure it out? I thought I was careful.

"Do they know who did it?" I ask her.

"No, but whoever did it, is going to be in big trouble."

I try my best to act normal, especially walking into Mr. Lee's class.

"As you all know, the answers for your test today have been sent around the school." He tells us, "Principle Thompson is doing a locker check as we speak. If any of you know anything, speak up."

The whole class sits in silence, we are all too scared to move.

"Now, your test will be postponed until further notice ." He continues.

"Sorry to interrupt, but could Meredith Cavanaugh come to the office?" Principle Thompson says over the intercom.

My whole class erupts into a chorus of 'oohs'. I look at Drew who refuses to look at me and leave the room. I open the door to the office and peak my head in.

"Ms, Cavanaugh, please sit." Principle Thompson tells me.

I sit down across from him.

"It has come to my attention that you were the one who sent the answers." He says.

"Yes sir." I reply.

"Why did you do it?" He asks, "You're one of our top students, you don't need the answers."

"With university applications and everything, I am really feeling the pressure." I tell him, "I wasn't thinking."

"Speaking of universities, Harvard has been notified of this." He tells me, "And, you'll be suspended for the rest of this week."

I nod. I could feel myself starting to cry, but I fought back the tears. I walk out of the office to find a bunch of people staring at me. I look for Drew's face in the crowd, hoping he'd show some sympathy or provide some comfort. He looks at me with an expressionless face.

Oops. xoxo.

I shove my phone in my pocket and walk out the doors. This A person is seriously ruining my life.

"Meredith." Aubrey follows me outside.

I turn around, "I'm not in the mood right now."

"Too bad." Cara tells me, "We need to talk, all of us."

"About what?" I ask her

"You know what." Tessa joins in, "We need to figure out who A is."

"Bu-"

Aubrey interrupts me, "I'm not A."

I nod, "I'm heading to the brew if you want to join."

"I don't think this conversation should take place in public." Tessa points out.

"I'm just grabbing a coffee then we can head to my place."

My favourite liars are all together. Looks like it's game time bitches. Xoxo.

We all look up and gasp.

"Game time?" Cara shutters, "Does this mean the torture is only going to get worse?"

"We need to stick together." I tell them, "We have to be completely honest with each other."

"No secrets." Tessa agrees.

Get home now!

I look down and see a text from my mom.

"I have to go." I tell the girls, "I think my mom just found out about the suspension."

I take a deep breath and walk into the living room.

"Care to explain?" Mom asks

I sigh and sit down.

"Well?" My mom says waiting for me to say something.

"I messed up."

"Obviously." Mom rolls her eyes

"What do you want me to say?" I ask her

"Nothing." She sighs, "Why'd you do it?"

"I was feeling overwhelmed with school and I didn't have time to study." I lie

"This is because of Drew isn't it?" She sighs

"I was just too upset to study." I go along with it.

"Meredith honey, you can't let boys have this much influence on your life." She says hugging me.

"I know." I tell her, "This will never happen again."

"It better not." She tells me, "Now go to your room. You're still grounded."

I give her a small smile and head up to my room.

You better practice lying, with me around you'll be doing lots of it. Xoxo.

I let out a frustrated sigh.

"Looks like you need this more than I do." Nathan laughs handing me a bottle of alcohol.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him, "I thought you hated me."

"Aubrey told me what happened." He tells me.

"I really don't want to talk about it." I tell him.

"Relax, I'm not here to question you." He laughs, "I figured you'd be upset."

"I just ruined my life." I say trying not to cry.

"How?" He asks

"I'm pretty sure Harvard and every other university won't accept a cheater."

He moves to my bed and sits down, "Is that such a bad thing?"

"If you mean me not being accepted into any university, then yes it is a bad thing." I roll my eyes.

"I mean Harvard. Is going there your dream or something you wanted because my brother wanted it?" He asks me

"I'm not that pathetic." I tell him, "Not everything revolves around your brother. I am or I was able to make my own choices when we were together."

"I'm sure." He smirks.

"You know, this isn't making me feel better." I tell him.

He laughs, "I'm not great at the whole comforting thing."

"I can tell." I smile.

"Did Meredith Cavanaugh smile?" He gasps, "I thought she was too upset?"

I punch him in the arm.

"Ow!" he cries

"That's what you get for mocking me." I shrug, "Now what has you drinking in the morning?"

He sighs, "My parents."

"What about them?" I ask.

"You know how they are." He tells me, "They expect me to be someone I'm not. Everyday is the same thing. They yell at me for not doing anything with my life and for not being Drew."

"Why didn't you go to school?" I ask him.

"I did." He sighs, "It just wasn't for me."

I could feel myself starting to relax. Talking to Nathan made me feel calm, but also nervous. After this weekend, I thought for sure that I had lost both Nathan and Drew.

Someone moved on rather quickly, but then again you started this before your other relationship was over. I think Rosewood has found it's new town slut. Xoxo.

I look down at my phone and feel my face drain of colour.

"Meredith are you alright?" Nathan asks.

I move away from him and nod, "You should probably go."

"What, why? Who texted you?" He asks trying to look at my phone.

"No one." I tell him, "Today is just starting to sink in and I need some time alone to sort through what happened."

"Okay. Text me if you need someone to talk to." He says giving me a small smile, "I'm here for you."

He gets off my bed and climbs out my window. I feel my heart break a little at the sight of him leaving. A is right. I can't start anything with Nathan, he's Drew's brother.
