Hello again! I'm actually going to be leaving on Wednesday after all, so I might update tomorrow, too! Depends on creative I'm feeling :D I dunno about you, but the prospect of having a whole summer ahead of me always makes me really happy Anything can happen, right? xD Alrighty. Rambling over. Onward, to chapter 11:)

Disclaimer: Not to worry, I'll own dearest Orlando soon. My friend that I'm going to the beach with and I are coming up with a plan to kidnap him. Victory shall be mine! Well, it will be when I steal him and head to Mexico ;) She'll never find us there!

Chapter 11.

"…Really?"

"…Yeah… 'e was smilin' all morning. ALL morning. Bloody annoying, it was…"

"Whoa… that's so weird…"

Elizabeth cracked an eye open to find out where the whispers were coming from. Standing in the doorway was none other than Jack, an amused look on his face, talking to Rachel. Elizabeth looked over at Angela's bed and saw that she had already left.

"Well, look who's finally awake," Rachel said with a smirk. Elizabeth got out of bed hastily.

"What time is it?" She asked, gathering some clothes so she could change out of her sweats and T-shirt.

"Nearly noon."

"Weird…" Elizabeth murmured, squeezing past Jack to get to the bathroom to change. She got to the bathroom and changed quickly. From what she had heard in her half-conscious state, Will had not told Jack about the previous night. Elizabeth sighed; just remembering the minute-long conversation with Will made her feel as if she could melt. She shook her head after a moment and walked back to the room, where Rachel and Jack were smirking at her in mock accusation.

"So, any particular reason why you didn't get up until just now? You were always an early riser before," Rachel asked casually. Elizabeth turned her back on her roommate to put her pajamas in her closet. She decided that if Will didn't want to tell Jack yet, she wouldn't tell anyone either.

"Nope. Just didn't get much sleep last night, I guess," Elizabeth replied nonchalantly. Jack snorted.

"Would your unusual sleep patterns have anything at all to do with Will's unusual mood this morning?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Will was in a weird mood?" Elizabeth asked, feigning ignorance. A look of annoyance came over Jack's face.

"Bloody aggravating! I was waiting for 'im to break out in song and start skipping around the dorm!" Jack said irritably. Elizabeth couldn't help but smile.

"Well yeah, they did make out-"

"We did not make out!"

"-Kiss, whatever, last night," Rachel laughed. Jack fell off the doorway that he had been leaning on.

"What? Well, that explains it…" he said, shaking his head and turning to Elizabeth. "You lit'l slut!" He said jokingly.

"I am not! It was one kiss!" Elizabeth said in frustration. She glared at Jack. "Who are you to talk! What with being drunk out of your mind last night!"

"So I may have a slight alcohol problem. That doesn't make me a slut," Jack argued casually.

"Actually, it does. You're a manwhore and you know it," Rachel pointed out.

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Am not!"

"Both of you, shut it!" Elizabeth yelled. Her head was pounding at this point. The siblings stopped and looked at Elizabeth incredulously.

"Sorry…" Elizabeth muttered. Rachel laughed after a moment, though Jack continued to look resentful.

"I am not a manwhore…" he said grudgingly. Suddenly, a scene that had been forgotten until just then popped into Elizabeth's head.

"Actually, you kinda hit on me at the party after you had enough alcohol in you," Elizabeth said, raising an eyebrow at him. Jack's eyes widened.

"I did?"

"Mmhmm."

"Did Will see?" He asked, attempting and failing to sound nonchalant.

"He was standing right there," Elizabeth said, smirking.

"Will already knows you'll hit on anything with two X-chromosomes when you're drunk, Jack," Rachel reminded her brother. He regained his usual swaggering air in an instant.

"Not like he could do anything to me, anyway," he said arrogantly. Elizabeth opened her mouth to argue, but caught herself just in time. Luckily, her stomach growled, giving her an excuse for opening her mouth.

"I'm gonna go get some breakfast," she said, pushing past Jack. She didn't bother to look back as she made her way down to the cafeteria. She had scanned half of the room, routinely looking for Will, when she remembered that he was visiting his mother that morning.

"Oh yeah…" she whispered to herself, her face falling a bit.

I hope he's okay today… she thought, biting her lip.

"Hey! Elizabeth!" Said a voice, jerking Elizabeth out of her thoughts. She looked up and saw Angela waving her over to the little table she was sitting at.

"Hey," Elizabeth said, sliding into the seat.

"You just get up?" Angela asked, a laugh in her eyes.

"Yep…" Elizabeth said. Angela continued to giggle for a minute or two until Elizabeth smiled as well, asking, "What's got you in such a good mood?"

Angela quieted herself for a moment to answer.

"I heard the most interesting conversation last night-"

"No!" Elizabeth interrupted, horrified.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Angela assured her. Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief and felt her heartbeat slow down, as it had been racing a second before.

"You were supposed to be asleep!" Elizabeth whispered. Angela rolled her eyes.

"Please… A pin dropping could wake me up. But enough about me, how about you?" Angela asked excitedly. "Did you tell anyone yet?"

Elizabeth shook her head. "No, apparently Will didn't tell Jack this morning before he left to visit his mom, so I'm not going to tell anyone yet, either."

"Wonder why he wants to keep it a secret?" Angela asked. Elizabeth smiled.

"I don't really think it was so much a matter of keeping a secret as him not wanting to deal with what was, I'm sure, an extremely hung over Jack," she explained. Angela laughed.

"You've got a point. So, what are you going to do today?" she asked, spreading cream cheese on a bagel she had gotten for breakfast.

"Not sure. Do you have any idea when Will is going to be back?" Elizabeth asked. Her stomach growled again before Angela could answer.

"Not too late, I'm sure. His sister is living with his mom for now, I think. You'd better get some food," Angela said, nodding back at the cafeteria. "All the breakfast stuff is gonna be gone soon."

"Thanks," Elizabeth said as she left in search for something to eat. She picked up a blueberry muffin and a bottle of water, deciding to take a drive around the city. She hadn't really explored since she came to Port Royal less than a month ago.

Wow, is that all it's been…? Elizabeth thought to herself, paying for her food. She walked out to her Jeep, eating her muffin along the way. As she opened the car door, she spied a slip of paper fluttering on the driver's seat. She got into the car, putting the keys in the ignition, and read the paper with a smile on her face.

You really ought to lock your car at night! I'll be back around 5. Meet me in the park? Missing you already.

Will.

Elizabeth reread the note three times before putting it down, sighing slightly. She smiled and put the note in her pocket. She was still smiling secretly as she backed out of the parking lot and sped down the road.
