The time I had been dreading was to start the second we got home. Hazing week. I knew I had to, but I seriously wasn't looking forward to torturing these poor girls. But it was tradition. Stupid, stupid tradition. Ariana opened the door and by the expressions on the girls' faces, I could tell they didn't see this coming so soon. Well guess what, neither did we.

The furniture was knocked over, and someone had painted the wall. A scream escaped my throat. It said:

Miss me? Xo, Sabine

My life, the horror movie.

Ariana looked like she was about to cry. And then she did. Tears escaped her eyes, one by one. I hadn't seen her like this since she was arrested. She limply reached for her phone.

"Don't worry," I said, even though my teeth were basically chattering. I reached for the phone. "Sabine DuLac was here." I said into the receiver when the police picked up. I hung up once they told me they would be right there. I looked at Ariana, in a crumpled ball on the floor.

"Ariana?" I asked comfortingly. She looked up. "Its going to be okay."

It better be.

Sabine DuLac ran silently away from the Billings house, and turned to the person on her right. "Thank you for breaking me out." She said in a French accent.

The person smiled. "Well, we both want revenge, don't we?"

The police came a half hour later. We were careful not to touch anything, but after standing for about a half hour, we HAD to sit down. So we sat on the floor. When the police came in, they were mobbed by the press that was still there. One paparazzo was so determined he rode in on top of a police car, and we saw him get escorted off campus, clearly pissed.

But the bad news was yet to come. Sabine had been missing from prison for three days. I felt the air quickly knock out of my lungs, but it was Ariana who was most upset. It was her sister, after all. But everyone was upset, especially the new girls, who had no idea how much drama there was in Billings. I took note that Amberly Carmichael was mysteriously absent.

"We need to talk to Miss Brennan," the police said gruffly.

I stepped forward, nervously, "That's me," I said.

The police snorted, "We know."

"Someone's here." The next police said, seeing the car pull up to Easton. He drew his gun. Taylor, Kiran, Noelle, Tiff, and Natasha stepped out.

"We came for moral support." Was the first thing Taylor said once she came through the door. "Holy crap, Ariana!" she screamed, reaching for the door.

I looked at Noelle. "You didn't tell them?" When Noelle shook her head I said, "Guys, Ariana's not the murderer." No one spoke for a while, until Amberly burst through the door.

"Where have you been?" I snapped. Different emotions swept across Amberly's face.

"What are you my keeper?" she snapped back, and then reminded herself to suck up to me. "What happened here?" And then she saw Noelle. "NOELLE!" she screamed, running over to her, "How's Yale?"

"Get off of me, Kindergartner." Noelle snorted, prying Amberly away from her. Amberly pouted.

"Girls, this is no time for fighting." Kiran said, putting herself between Noelle and Amberly, I noticed that she inched toward Noelle and away from Amberly, like she was some sort of virus she didn't want to catch."

Kindergarten-itis. Or even better, Suckup-itis.

The police sighed. "Miss Brennan, please come with me," he said, walking upstairs.

My room was set up like a police questioning room. Maybe I should say Ariana and my room. There was no more room in the house, so unfortunately I was living with someone who had tried to kill me. Well, that right there is my life in a nutshell.

"Miss Brennan, who exactly is Sabine?" he asked.

I snorted, "Sabine DuLac, sir. Don't you know that?" My expression was incredulous. I couldn't believe my life right now.

"Yes, well," he said, picking up his walkie-talkie. "I'm afraid you and your friends will have to cut for Spring Break early."

"Okay." I said and headed downstairs.

So sorry about the delay! I wrote this chapter a LONG time ago and then my computer broke! Supid computer :[ Okay, so, how do you like Sabine now? I'm kind of hating her. Any new ideas on the murderer? Also, I might have them go to Croton while they're not allowed in Billings. But how could they do hazing? Ugh, I don't know. So uh, yeah! Thanks so much for the great reviews! Especially ILoveButterflies! Also I MIGHT change who killed Thomas. Might. I'm flip-flopping between two people… make that two GROUPS of people :]

Review Please!
