Chapter Three: Reality

As I sat on a bench in the middle of the quad, it finally sunk in. this would be my last night on campus, my last night as an Easton student, my last night as a Billings Girl. I guess I could always go to a different boarding school. But I didn't want to, I wanted to be at Easton. It was always my grandmother and mothers dream for me to live in Billings, Graduate at Easton with honors, just like they did. I had completed 2 out of 3 and with Taylor, Noelle, and Ariana gone I could have completed the third. Oh why oh why me!

After about 45 minutes of sobbing on a bench I realized I should probably go pack. I wanted to get as much sleep as I could for my last night here at Easton. I think I deserved that much.

Now that I was back into reality, I was not looking forward to telling the other girls that I was expelled. Think of the mayhem that will happen. Reed will probably be elected at president of Billings and she will run it right into the ground. She doesn't know a thing about Billings.

I was just about to turn the corner when out of the corner of my eye I saw something move from one of the windows on Billings House. Was someone watching me? Waiting for me? Probably the Twin Cities waiting to hear the gossip.

I was walking up the walkway when I say Reed sitting on the window sill talking to Rose. I quickened my pace, I just wanted to get this over and done with. I threw open the door and saw the doorway to the stairs. All I had to do was get there before anyone came up to me.

I already knew that that wasn't going to happen.

"What happened?" Rose asked.

Just keep walking Cheyenne, just keep walking

"I'm out, I'm expelled."

Tears silently flowed out of my eyes and I finally admitted to myself it was over, I was back in reality; I was going to have to start all over again.

Portia gasped, "But you didn't do anything! At least, nothing we haven't always done. Did you tell him-"

I couldn't take this anymore. I stopped her mid sentence, "They don't care," I looked up and around the room, and I saw the love from my Billings sisters. "They didn't even want to hear it. I have tonight to pack my things, and tomorrow I'm gone."

I finally reached the door to the stairs and I slamed it behind me. I let all the tears go as I ran to my room. I heard Portia screaming my name behind me but I just ran. I just I was hopeing I could run away from all this, run away from reality.

But I should have known better. Because from past experience, karma always seems to catch up with you.
