A/N: I got 1 term paper out of the way. I just took my last mid-term yesterday morning. I finished writing this story 4 days ago. I'm glad because I've been working on this story off and on since May. Now that this story is done I can work on my next one. It's going to be a Backstreet Boys one. Ok let's stop talking about the end of this story because this point in the story is nowhere need the end.

Best Friend

The next morning Daisy was still upset. She put on her gothic clothing and make up to hide behind.

"Daisy what's up? Why are you back to this? Something is obviously bothering you," Shelby said concerned.

"It's nothing," Daisy replied dryly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Ok."

With that they both walked into the cafeteria. The others were surprised by the way that Daisy was dressed.

"Why are you dressed like that?" Kelly asked.

"Well if you must know I'm goth. That's how I dress," Daisy said bitterly.

"Geez I didn't know," Kelly replied.

"Are you going to be dressing like this from now on?" Scott asked.

"Maybe."

"Daisy," Sophie said while walking up behind her. "I want you to go get washed up and changed. Then you can go to Peter's office.

After Daisy cleaned up she went to Peter's office.

"Daisy why did you dress like that?" Peter asked.

"Because I wanted to," Daisy responded dryly.

"There has to be more to it than that."

"No."

"Well you're punishment will be to write a 500 word essay about masks by tomorrow morning."

"Fine."

"You can go back to breakfast."

"Did you get punished?" Auggie asked.

"Yes."

"What is it?" Shelby asked.

"I have to write a 500 word essay about masks by tomorrow."

"That's not too bad. I've had worst," Scott said.

"I think she's snapped," Juliette whispered to Auggie.

"I think you might be right," he replied.

After breakfast Daisy was walking to the dorms when Ezra stopped her.

"What's wrong Dais?" Ezra asked concerned

"Like you don't know," Daisy replied.

"What did I do?" he asked confused.

"You kissed Kelly. I saw her leave the dorm and I went to go check on her to make sure she was ok. When I saw her you were kissing her."

"She kissed me and I pulled away."

"I bet you pulled away. I saw all the time you spent with her. All that time you forgot about me."

"I didn't forget about you."

"Well if you didn't, how come you didn't show me any attention as soon as Kelly got here? You know why I was hesitant about being with you?"

"No. Why?"

"Because I was afraid of getting my heart broken and have yet another disappointment in my life. I hope you're happy Ezra. You broke my heart," Daisy said holding back tears.

"Daisy I would never hurt you."

"It's too late Ezra. You already did," she said before she walked away.

Daisy walked to the girls' dorm where Shelby was sitting on her bed. Daisy threw herself on her own bed.

"What's wrong?" Shelby asked.

"My life," Daisy replied.

"What about your life specifically?"

"Ezra."

"What about Ezra?"

"Let's see he broke my heart when I saw him and Kelly kissing at the docks last night."

"I'm so sorry Daisy," Shelby putting her arm around Daisy.

"Yeah well I shouldn't have even become his girlfriend," she said crying. "I don't even want to look at Ezra and Kelly again."

"Well it's inevitable. We're in the same group as them and Kelly sleeps here."

"I wish she would go home already."

"Yeah."

Kelly walked in and saw Daisy crying.

"What's wrong Daisy?" Kelly asked concerned.

"You should know," Daisy replied.

"Know what?" she asked.

"How could you do that to her?" Shelby asked glaring at Kelly.

"Do what?" Kelly asked growing impatient.

"I saw you and Ezra kiss," Daisy said wiping her tears.

"Did you see him pull away? He doesn't like me. He cares about you," Kelly replied.

"If he cared about me then he wouldn't have done that to me."

"I can't believe you kissed him Kelly. Why don't you just go. You've done enough damage," Shelby said angrily.

"This doesn't concern you Shelby," Kelly said calmly.

"It does when you hurt my best friend."

"Kelly just go," Daisy yelled.

"Fine but Daisy I'm sorry," Kelly replied sincerely. Daisy looked the other way.

Meanwhile Ezra was on his bed crying.

"What's wrong EZ?" Auggie asked.

"My relationship with Daisy is over," Ezra replied wiping away tears.

"What happened?" Scott asked.

"She saw Kelly kiss me. She didn't see me pull away."

"Did the kiss mean anything to you?" Scott asked.

"No. In fact I think I'm in love with Daisy."

"You should tell her that," Auggie said.

"I can't. I'm gonna go for a walk," she said getting up.

"Ok," the two guys replied.

While he was walking he ran into Kelly.

"Thanks Kel," Ezra said sarcastically.

"For what?" Kelly asked.

"For ruining my relationship with Daisy."

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah well you should be," he said angrily before walking away.

"I guess this is hate Kelly day," Kelly said out loud frustrated.

"Aww feeling sorry for yourself skank," Shelby said coming up behind Kelly.

"Shut up Shelby. You think you're so tough," Kelly said turning around to face her.

"Problem girls?" Sophie asked.

"No," they both said in unison.

"Good. Now get in the lodge. We're having group."

They both walked in to see the others already sitting there. Kelly sat by Juliette and Auggie on the couch. Shelby sat down between Daisy and Scott.

"Ok the topic today is how are you feeling in one word. Juliette start us off," Peter said beginning the group.

"Happy. Auggie?"

"Good. Ez?"

"Hurt. Kat?"

"Fine. Kelly?"

"Hated. Scott?"

"Good. Shelb?"

"Angry. Daisy?"

"Betrayed."

"Good. Now would any of you like to expand on those feelings?" Peter asked, looking around the group. No one said anything. "Ok. Next topic. The feeelings that you're feeling, are they by another person? Same order."

"No."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Ok. I guess that's it. You can all go to dinner now. Kel stay a sec."

"Yeah Peter?"

"A man from CPS comes tomorrow morning."

"Ok Peter." she said before leaving the lodge,

"Hey Daisy," Ezra said trying to talk to Daisy.

"Why don't you just leave her alone Freakin. You've done enough damage," Shelby snapped at him.

Shelby and Daisy kept walking, leaving Ezra standing there looking after them.

"Ezra..." Kelly said quietly.

"Kelly leave me alone," Ezra said walking away.

A/N: We'll end that chapter here. Will they get along? Will Daisy and Ezra get back together? What will happen when the man from CPS gets there? Important questions which will be answered in another chapter. Thanks again for the reviews. I will try to get the rest of the chapters up sooner than I did with this one.
