I forgot to do this first chapter so here it is I DON'T OWN PRIVATE! That's the wonderful Kate Brian that brings us tons of joy.

The next morning I woke up to the sounds of the Billings Girls getting home. That couldn't be right they were supposed to spend the afternoon in New York. I looked at my clock on the nightstand. It read 2 in those neon green numbers. I sighed knowing I'd slept the day away. That was surprising knowing my usual response to bad news was not being able to sleep.

Noelle walked in the room glaring at me, "When's your Dad coming? Don't you need to pack or do you not want all your shit? I wouldn't blame you if you didn't?"

"My Dads not coming to pick me up," I declared looking her in the eye trying to stay strong.

"How are you getting home?" she questioned.

"I'm at home," I replied.

She laughed humorlessly, "You think this is your home? Reality check you're not welcome here. Why don't you get your little ass down to Buck Fuck Pennsylvania and out of my life because I never want to see you again."

"Noelle I'll be your slave for a month I'll do anything to get you to forgive me. I'll steal the answers to all the tests, but I'm not throwing away my future," I declared.

"You don't have a future. Ivy League, that's out. Do you really think Billings will give you recommendations after that stunt? I really think you should go home and then go to some Community Collage that no one has ever heard of because that's your future weather you stay here or not," She snapped back.

"I still have my senior year to win the Billings Alumni over. I'm not done Noelle. I've lived through Thomas, Arianna, and Cheyenne and I'll live through this," I replied.

Noelle rolled her eyes, "There's a big difference between all of those situation and this one. I was on your side. You know when you're not on my side you're hopeless. I always win."

"Whatever you say I'm not changing my mind," I declared.

"Fine, but don't get in my sight and if I need you to do something you do it. Don't expect it to be easy. Your life is over slut," she said as she walked out of the room.

I let out a deep breath. That was harder then I thought. I knew Noelle was mad, but to call me a slut. That hurt I wasn't used to being called a slut. I thought Noelle would have a little more respect because I was defending myself, but I guess I couldn't get out of this too easy. I'd lost all respect last night. Damn Ivy I'd have to bring her down, then that'd give me respect.

Sabine walked in, "So you're still here?"

"Yeah and I'm staying," I informed her.

"So I'm a roommate with a betraying slut. I hope it doesn't rub off," She snapped.

Wow when had she become so mean? I thought she liked me more then Noelle. "It dose, but you don't have to worry you can sleep in the lobby if you'd like."

Sabine grabbed her mattress, "I think I will." She began filling her suitcases with everything she had. I couldn't believe she was actually moving out of the room. Don't you think that's taking it a little too far?

I didn't talk to here instead I got a text that surprised me.

Taylor Bell- heard the news don't feel bad. Stay strong.

It seriously felt like something was going on now. Noelle's two best friends were on my side? The only bad part was they weren't here at Billings. This was seriously crazy.

U on my side? I asked back. I couldn't believe we were actually choosing sides. It was so middle school.

Taylor Bell- Yep and lucky 4 u ur not alone at Easton.

Reed- ? ya I am

Taylor Bell- No you're not I'm coming back, public school was too easy. At least that's what the collages say anyway.

Reed- So basically if you want to get into Ivy League you have 2 come bck to Easton.

Taylor Bell- Yep, but don't worry ur not the only one that got dirty with Dash.

Reed- IK Kirin told me.

Taylor Bell- not just her, me 2, plus Arianna.

Reed- No!? How'd u guys get Noelle 2 forgive u?

Taylor Bell- Slavery, but what's more important is stay strong.

Reed- I'm so glad ur coming back when will u be here.

Taylor Bell- turn around.

I turned around to see Taylor Bell in all her beauty holding her designer luggage. She was smiling at me. I leapt up and hugged her smiling. Sometime in between all those texts Sabine had left to go make herself comfortable downstairs.

"Oh my God I'm so glad you're here," I shrieked.

She laughed, "Me too bring on the drama Easton."

I laughed with her, "So seriously you slept with Dash?"

She shook her head, "No not all the way we went about as far as you did when Josh walked in."
I held up both my hands, "Wow Josh walked in on you too."

She nodded, "Yeah he walked in on all three of us. FYI him and Ivy dated before you got here. I'm not sure Ivy had anything to do with him walking in on us."

Everything was starting to click. I now understood why Josh and Thomas didn't want me to become close friends with Noelle. It seemed like all her close friends slept with Dash. That was a curse, poor Noelle, and evil Dash. Then an idea hit me head on.

"Is this a scheme Noelle put together?" I questioned.

"You'd think," Taylor answered.

"So you're moving in?" I asked.

She nodded, "Yep we're going to be roommates. I kicked your old roommate the French girl out."

"Oh I was wondering why she was so eager to get out of my room. So what dose Noelle think about you being here and being on my side?" I asked.

"She's happy I'm back, but she's pissed I'm on your side. We're still friends though. I just wish it could be you, me, Arianna, Noelle, and Kirin again. Well I mean if Arianna wasn't a murderer. I miss those days," Taylor sighed.

I nodded, "I know what you mean. So tell me about Ivy did you like her?"

Taylor's eyes widened, "God no she always had guys in our rooms. I was the only one who knew she was secretly dating Josh. I never told any until I told you today. It wasn't that I was loyal to her or anything I just didn't tell because no one asked."

"What a slut," I muttered. "How was public school besides overly easy?"

She rolled her eyes, "I wasn't popular there. Get this they considered me a nerd! All the popular girls were like the Twin Cities. If you ask me London and Vienna love them, but I don't need anymore of them. Oh and it was so dirty, the food don't get me started on it. What was it like when you went there?"

"Easy, dirty, you know a whole different world. I didn't even have many friends. I was considered one of the guys," I explained, wow that was weird I just let Taylor see a little of my past.

Taylor looked me up and down, "You one of the guys no way. You're the president of Billings not just another one of the guys."

"I think I've been impeached," I muttered.

She laughed, "Yeah probably. There's only one way to find out. Noelle"

Noelle stuck her head in my room and glared at me before smiling at Taylor, "Hey I've missed you. Easton felt a little stupider."

Taylor laughed giving Noelle a hug and a kiss on both cheeks, "Wow Reed write that down Noelle said something nice. That's never going to happen again."

Noelle glared at me, "Not for Reed." Then she turned back to Taylor smiling, "Come with me you can unpack later. I want to hear all about that guy on the plane." Taylor and Noelle walked out of my room together talking in hushed voices.

It figured that Noelle kept in touch with Taylor. She seemed to keep in touch with everyone, weather or not it was reading their email or actually talking to them. She must have called everyone when the news about Dash and I came out. Then I began to wonder if she told Ariansa. Did she talk to Arianna anymore? I mean they were best friends. It'd be weird if Noelle did or didn't keep talking to her. There was only one way to find out. Well actually there were two, but talking to Noelle wasn't really an option for me.

I picked back up my cell phone and went to the contacts. The first one was Arianna. I pressed options and I decided it'd be safer to text her. I didn't really want any death threats.

Reed- Hey just wondering do u know? I had to think hard before I hit the send button. I wasn't sure what to say to someone that was in a nut house, still crazy or better yet, hey sorry u didn't get away with killing me.

Almost instantly she text back Oh I know. I know everything slut.

Reed- so Noelle told u?

Arianna- Who else?

So Noelle did keep in touch with Arianna. That made me sort of pissed. She gossiped with the girl who tried to murder me and blame Thomas's death on me. What the hell was up with that? Truthfully she shouldn't be calling me the slut. I should be calling her the slut. She also slept with Dash, so did all of Noelle's close friends. Truthfully was there a pattern here or what. I didn't respond to her text I didn't really want to talk to her. Would anyone want to talk to someone that wanted them dead. She really did have me fooled being so nice to me. Too bad it was all lies. Man I could imagine how nice life would be for me if it wasn't a big lie. I'd still be dating the perfect Thomas. I'd still have my best friends. There'd be so much less drama.
