"Um, yeah. I invited him. He's been a good friend to me ever since." I replied, uninterested with their sudden excitement. Now THAT
made Josh stare even more at me. I wonder why. His stare is making me melt inside. I can't wait for winter break now.
Going to St. Bart's with the Billing's girls and their friends? Including Ivy and most especially Josh? This is going to be fun.
As I woke up exactly a week after Sabine's attempt to kill me, I realized that this is also the day we will all go to St. Bart's. All of us had
beatified ourselves for the past week. We went shopping almost everyday since it's almost winter break and the Crom knows that we got into
all sorts of trouble so he let us. A week has passed and we still haven't heard from Ivy or Josh since the last time we visited her and told them
that they can come with us. As I thought about them, as usual, I felt the tingling sensation inside my chest. What had they done for the past
week? I felt extremely curious about what they've done since. I heard that Ivy had been admitted out of the hospital the other day but they
didn't even bother to call or visit us here at Billings. I guess she doesn't have time to do that since she and Josh are always having their
intimate moments at Pemberly. The thought made me want to throw up and slap her face. But, of course, I wouldn't do that. After all she has
done for me; I have no right to do that. And when I do that, Josh will also be hurt because he loves her so much. So much that he already
forgot about me and didn't even bother to call or ask if I was okay after everything that had happened. I know that we're already over. Well,
for him we are. But I still expected some care from him since our confrontation at the hospital a week ago. I guess it's just my wishful thinking
that made me think he still loves me. Only in my dreams would that happen. I guess that doesn't matter now that he's with Ivy.
My thoughts were interrupted by a loud bang on the door. Of course, it was Noelle. "Reed! Get you big butt off the bed and get ready! We're
leaving in an hour!" Noelle shouted at me. "An hour?! Is everybody already there? Are they all ready?" I asked her, surprised. What time is it by
the way? "Well, almost. All the girls and their friends are ready. Even your Mr. Dreck boy is here already. But we're still waiting for Ivy and Josh.
Maybe Josh is with Ivy at Pemberly and they're getting ready." Noelle replied with a knowing twinkle in her eye. "Oh, okay. I'll be down in an
hour." I replied her resisting the urge to cry. Ivy and Josh are not yet here. They're not yet here. Will they come? What are they doing right now?
Those were the first words that came to my mind. I also noticed that this always happen to me. Noelle always knocks on the door and tells me
that I should get up and be ready in an hour. Am I having a major sleep disorder lately? Or this thing just related to the fact that bad things
always happen to me?
An hour has passed and I'm ready. I'm just rechecking my luggage that I packed 3 days ago to see if I forgot something. As I went down the
long stairs of Billings I noticed that they're not yet completely ready to leave. They're designer bags that cost ten times more than mine are still
disorganized on the floor and not yet loaded to the limos waiting outside. Marc noticed me and flashed me a huge smile. "Hi Reed! Thanks for
inviting me, again." Marc told me enthusiastically. "No problem. "I told him halfway across the stairs and I flashed him the same smile he gave
me. "Oh, hey Glasslicker! Since your here already let's start loading our bags in the limo. We don't even have to hurry because we're still
waiting for the "lovers." Let's give them another 15 minutes. If they don't come after 15 minutes then we'll leave them already." Noelle said
staring at me with a load laugh. What's wrong with her? It's like she went back to her bitchy side again. But maybe she just said that to make
the mood happier and at ease. So I just changed the topic. "Noelle, for how long will we stay at St. Bart's? Maybe Ivy will need some rest after
what happened. And that will apply if she and Hollis will ever come on time." I told her with a fake chuckle. I even adopted the way she calls
Josh to show her that I totally moved on. Not.
We loaded our luggage at the trunk of the limos. Marc is talking to me right now while we're waiting for our turn to enter the limo. Of course
we'll be sitting with Noelle. Fifteen minutes has passed but Josh and Ivy are not yet here. Maybe they won't come after all. "Okay. Times up!
Hollis and Ivy are not yet here so its time to leave." Noelle said. As we were all entering our respective limos, we heard someone shout. "Wait!
Sorry we're so late!" Ivy shouted three paces away. Josh is with her looking as handsome as ever. His curls are dancing around his adorable
face. His cheeks were red because of all the running they've done not to be left behind. He is even carrying their entire luggage. Although it's
not that many, it just means that he doesn't want Ivy to carry anything because he loves her so much.
"Finally. You two came. I thought you weren't going because you would just want a winter break together without all of us." Noelle told them
with a wink. While Noelle was saying that, I noticed that Josh was staring at me and Marc. His eyes were the same ones when he stared at me
last time we met. It is full of something I can't explain. Maybe full of love? I guess not. Or maybe full of disgust that he hoped that with that
stare I would melt in the ground and never appear again? I guess that is the best explanation I can think of. But why is he also staring at
Marc? That is something I need to figure out.
Everyone was already in the limo except me, Marc, Noelle, and of course Ivy and Josh. "Come here quickly! Load your bags on the trunk! It's
already late. We need to get there immediately because I have a surprise for Reed." Noelle looked at me and gave me a hopeful smile. I
wonder what that surprise will be. "And guys….." she said looking at Josh and Ivy. "….since there's no more space in the other limos, I guess
you can just ride in ours since we're only five in here." she continued. "That would be great!" Ivy replied and grabbed Josh to go inside the
limo. And with the extreme bad luck I have, I somehow ended up smashed in between Marc and Josh. I didn't even let this happen for a
reason. Why would I ever do that? That would literally end my life. We are even so smashed together because all the bags didn't fit the trunk
so some should be inside the car. I can barely breathe in here. And that is because of the tiny space and the fact that I am so smashed beside
Josh. Bad luck always comes after me. I really think that this would be a very long ride.
