When I opened the door to my room it was horrific. There were pictures of me everywhere. Pictures of me with Thomas, with Whit, at the legacy with Dash, and with Josh. There were pictures of me with everyone I knew. All of my clothes aside from the one suitcase I got pack were torn and shredded.

"Oh my god." I said.

"Wow, this is ridiculous." Josh said.

"When did this happen?" I asked Noelle.

"I don't know when we came home I thought I heard something coming from your room. I went to check it out and well I found this and an open window with a note that scares me." Noelle said and then handed me the note. It read:

Dear Reed,

Miss me? I missed you well I have a little present for you. It's a project I have been working on. Hope you like it. Tell Taylor that I will see her soon

- With love,

AO

"Oh. My. God. How could this have happened and is it really Ariana?"

"Well we don't know. I mean chances are no because it is probably the same person as before," Noelle said, "and that wasn't Ariana."

"Ok that is really not helpful" I cried out.

"Well Reed let's see if you have any pajama's in your one suitcase and come into my room for an emergency meeting." Noelle said.

I was able to find a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. In my suitcase I had a skirt, shorts and jeans, also one sun dress, a bikini, and a few shirts. It wasn't much but it would last me. Considering I had more than half the clothes I owned here and much of them were ruined I needed a shopping trip.

"Hey Noelle." I said as I entered.

"Hey Reed." She replied

"So what should we do?" Kiran asked. I hadn't noticed her and Taylor until she spoke up.

"Well I was thinking we are stuck here the next couple of days so why not shop. Not tomorrow because you are going to the beach but how about the day before we leave?" Noelle suggested.

'That works for me. I am fresh out of clothes." I joked.

"I mean what are we going to do here?" Kiran said.

"But the shopping does sound fun!" Taylor added.

"Well instead of thinking hard I figured we could all use some true girl time so a Fat Phoebe party was in mind." Noelle said. Then she revealed various trays of chocolates and a bottle of champagne.

"So let's start with gossip." Noelle said.

"Well I really like Scott." Taylor said while blushing.

"I don't even know what to say, he is my brother but yeah that's cool." I joked.

"So how are things with you and Josh?" Kiran asked.

"Actually, things are going really well." I said.

"That's good." Kiran said shyly.

"I thought you didn't like Sawyer." I said

"Well he is cute. He is nice and I like him so, well, I just do." Kiran replied.

"Hey Noelle how is Dash?" Taylor asked.

"Eh, I guess you could say we are good." She said.

"What do you mean you guess?" I asked.

"Well he has been weird lately but well, he is just different. He does still adore me, maybe just more than before." She shrugged.

We stayed up all night and gossiped about everything. When I went to bed Josh was already asleep. I tried to get in bed quietly so I didn't wake him. Almost instantly after I laid my head down on my pillow I fell asleep. I woke up to the sweet smile of Josh.

"Hey, good morning!" He said cheerfully.

"Morning," I replied.

"When do you want to go to the beach?" He asked.

"Um, let me get ready then we can leave." I said.

"Works for me," He said

I went and got changed. The only swimsuit that wasn't torn to shreds was a silver metallic bikini. It was cute but I still wanted the one that Josh had bought for me. When I walked out of the bathroom Josh was all dressed and was getting sunscreen on. He had orange and brown plaid swim pants and an old t-shirt on. I grabbed my sundress and put in on over my swim suit.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked

"Yep, let's go." I said.

The beach was looking great. The water was a mixture of blue and green making a beautiful shade of turquoise. The sand was white and soft and it felt good between my toes.

"It's beautiful here." Josh said

"Yeah it is. This is like an awesome beach." I said.

We set up our stuff and then lay down in the sand.

"Do you want to put some sun screen on my back?" I asked ad put on a fake puppy dog face.

"Sure, I would love to." Josh said half jokingly.

After he rubbed the sunscreen in we saw some of my least favorite people coming down, Poppy, Upton, Paige, Sienna, and Daniel. I didn't mind Poppy ad Daniel but the others I could do without.

"Oh it is here." Paige said.

"Like didn't you have to go cry home to that place where you don't belong?" Sienna said. She laughed at that with Paige and Upton, who laughed a little bit too hard.

"No I figured I didn't get to see the good of this place. I'm surprised you fit in." I said.

Both Paige and Sienna shrieked and walked away. Paige made sure to kick a ton of sand on me first. They all laughed except for Poppy and Daniel who both slapped Paige and Upton.

"Forget them, they are jealous losers." Josh said.

"Yeah I know but they annoy the crap out of me." I said.

"Want some drinks?" Josh asked.

"Sure, thank you." I said. Josh gave me a quick kiss and walked away about 5 minutes later he returned with a virgin strawberry daiquiri.

"Thank you. Do you want to go for a swim?" I asked.

"Sure let's go." He said. I slipped out of my sundress and Josh took off his t-shirt. His chest was glistening in the sun. We raced towards the water and Josh pushed me in. We splashed around for a bout 15 minutes before Upton dragged Poppy in and started a heavy make out session.

"Let's go, it looks as if that is getting intense." I said. We walked out and lay down again. I fell asleep in the sun. It was so warm. Poppy and her crew were getting ready to leave.

"Oh guys let me just throw this in the garbage." Paige said as she walked over towards me. She then poured a smoothie on me.

"Ok the garbage is all together." Paige said and laughed with Upton, who again laughed too hard, and Sienna. Then again Poppy slapped Upton and Daniel slapped Paige.

"Oh look at that. You are obsessed with me. How cute, you try so hard to get my attention and annoy me." I said.

"Whatever loser," Paige said making an L with her hand and putting it up on her forehead.

"Oh, she is immature and obsessed. Well we were just leaving so bye." I said as Josh quickly grabbed our things and we stormed off.

"Nice job standing up to them." Josh said.

"Thanks," I said as I started to have tears, "They just… It isn't right. This is so gross." I said pointing to where the smoothie was al over me. Josh hugged me even though I was all gross and sticky.

"Like you said they are jealous." Josh said. Then he passionately kissed me and held my hand as we walked home.

When I walked in the door Noelle burst out in laughter. I think I saw Dash hide a laugh too. No one else was there but Noelle laughed enough for everyone.

"What happened to you?" Noelle asked.

"Paige Ryan happened to me." I said.

"What did she do?" Noelle asked.

"Well after she kicked sand on me when she got up to leave she dumped her smoothie on me too. I did tell her off though." I said.

"Good for you. Now go take a shower, you look like you need one." She joked. I stormed up the stairs and Josh followed me. I was really mad but, if anyone could make me feel better it would be Josh.

"Hey so what do you want to do after you get out of the shower?" Josh asked.

"I don't know maybe start looking for my new wardrobe?" I asked him.

"Whatever you want is fine with me, as long as you let me pay." He said.

"Ok I can live with that." I said. After that I kissed him before I went to take a shower.

I came out of the shower 10 minutes later and Josh had laid an outfit out on my bed. He picked my white skirt and a pink shirt with plain white sandals. He had really good taste.

"Josh I am ready." I said. He entered the room and sat down on the couch.

"Ok, Noelle said that she was taking you shopping tomorrow so I figured I would take you out for a little bit then we could go to dinner?" He asked me.

"That sounds absolutely wonderful." I said.

We arrived at the mall and guess who we saw…

So I was going to go on but I decided not too. Sorry I like cliffhangers.

Now I have a question. Should this be a good group of people or a bad group of people that Reed sees?

I am really tired from track and what not so I going to be done for tonight but I will try to update again tomorrow.

Review or I won't know what to do!!!
