I'm always forgetting to do this, but just incase anyone was confused (which I'm pretty sure no one is) I'm not Kate Brian so I don't own Private.
Here I was in the cafeteria for breakfast and everyone was staring at me. You'd think I'd be used to being stared at and normally I was, but this time I knew why I was being stared at. It wasn't fun the dread and guilt filed me like a bag of heavy weights in my stomach. I felt sick, but what made it even worse was that evil glint in Ivy's eyes as she looked at me. Josh had the same glint in his eyes and I began to feel like what Taylor said might actually make sense.
I'd just filled my tray with a cream cheese bagel and some fresh fruit when I realized I had no idea where to sit. I couldn't possibly sit with Noelle she'd give me the worst welcome ever. There was nowhere else to sit though. All the tables were filled and the ones that weren't were full of people I didn't know or Josh and Ivy. There was no way in hell I'd eat with them.
Taylor saw my dilemma and tapped me on the shoulder, "Come on let's sit and eat I'm hungry."
"I can't just eat at the Billings table that's exclusive and Noelle will kill me!" I exclaimed giving Taylor a look like she was crazy.
She shook her head, "No she won't she'll need someone to get all the food for everybody else. Don't worry I'll help you." At that she began walking to the table. I didn't have any choice, but to follow her.
As I sat down Noelle gave me a wicked smile and said, "Don't get comfortable, now why don't you get us some food? I'd like a waffle and some vanilla yogurt with strawberries and granola. Girls?"
"Oh I'd like some toast and a muffin," London sang like a morning person.
"Sounds delic I'll get what she's having," Vienna snag in the same tone.
Tiffany thought for a bit before she said, "I'll have a doughnut and a latte."
Rose who was usually so nice fell and decided to be caddy as well, "French Toast please."
Constance smiled at the thought of actually being able to order me around, "I'll get some lucky charms and apple juice."
Noelle glared at her, "No you won't this is for seniors only well and Taylor of course."
"Why only seniors," Sabine questioned glaring back at Noelle.
"Because the juniors this year didn't really get picked to be Billings it's more like you won the new Deans draw. FYI you can't get all the luxuries unless you're real Billings," Noelle answered back with acid in her tone.
"Yeah you can't just walk in unless you actually are someone of importants and you're not ," Vienna said agreeing with Noelle.
"Don't worry though were planning to get this Dean fired so next years junior girls will actually have earned it," Noelle informed them.
"Shouldn't you be getting their food?" Missy asked me with contempt in her eyes.
"Yeah she should," Noelle said glaring at me.
Taylor got up with me and we went to get the food. Thank God Taylor had a photographic memory because I would have definitely forgotten something. I filled up three entire trays with all the food I had to get for Billings.
"You know I fell like it's the beginning of last year," I told Taylor as we walked back to the lunch table.
She laughed, "Don't worry it won't last forever. I can already tell Noelle hates Sabine, Constance, and Missy more then anything. She can't sand that they made it into Billings. She told me her confessed hatred last night. She'll probably forgive you just so she can start ordering them around. She really doesn't want them to feel more welcomed then you an actual Billings Girl. She may hate you now, but trust me Noelle can't stay mad at her friends forever. Take Arian for example. Noelle is already emailing with her."
This was news to me even after texting Arian last night. How could Noelle already be talking to that murderer? I couldn't bring it up to Taylor unless she was talking to her as well. I sighed, "I hope, but knowing Noelle it'll get worse way before it gets better."
Taylor nodded, "It probably will, but just remember, I'll be here to help you. I probably shouldn't tell you this it's supposed to be a surprise."
"What's supposed to be a surprise?" I asked nervously hoping it wasn't something about Arian.
Taylor sighed, "Well Kirin has to come back to school, not soon because she has her photo shots and projects she has to finish, but she'll probably be back by spring brake and if Noelle is still mad at you she'll help you out. Plus next year it'll be so much more happy and fun, you me and Kirin. Too bad we'll lose Noelle and Arian."
"Wow I can't wait until she comes back. So I'm guessing you two keep in touch," I said trying not to show my disappointment that I didn't keep in touch with Kirin or Arian. Well I wasn't too disappointed I didn't keep in touch with Arian.
"Well yeah we went to trial together so we were able to swap our new numbers. Sorry that neither of us called you. We weren't sure you were ready," she admitted.
"You know I wish someone would have warned me about Dash," I replied.
"We wanted to, but we couldn't," Taylor half whispered.
I lowered my eyebrows, "Why not?"
We reached the table and she simply answered, "We just couldn't."
I handed out the food silently having to meet everyone glaring eyes except strangely Noelle. She was smiling like she'd concurred the world. Knowing Noelle that smile couldn't possibly be good news for me.
Then Ivy and Josh walked by holding hands. They looked like such a happy couple I could kill them. I really hated both of them right now, well maybe I didn't completely hate Josh, but I was furious with him right now.
Ivy stopped right next to Noelle and looked in her eyes, "You may have been able to save Billings last night, but you can't keep safe forever."
Noelle rolled her eyes, "Was that your pathetic attempt at threatening me?"
Ivy took a step closer, "Oh no, that wasn't a threat that was a warning that if you want to stay alive you better leave campus right now."
Noelle sighed, "Ivy, Ivy, Ivy, you know I would of thought that you would realize that I always win. Why don't you just give up before you get hurt? Billings is what word am I looking for oh yeah I remember, untouchable."
Ivy crossed her arms and took advantage of Noelle sitting down and made a strong effort to show that at this moment she was taller then Noelle. "I don't think you always win Noelle. If you always won then why did your boyfriend mess around with Reed?'
Noelle smiled, "Don't talk about things you don't know. Now I suggest you get the hell out of my sight before I have to start casting death threats. Don't be fooled we both know what kind of evil I'm capable of."
Ivy met her gaze, "Oh I know you're capable of evil that's why I'm taking you down. Enjoy your final hours." With that she swiftly walked away with Josh without looking back at the horror struck Billing table.
I love getting reviews and or questions. Thanks I-lOvE-eDwArD-yEs-I-dO for your question about Thomas.
