I was so mad and upset at the same tie. How could Josh care more about Ivy then for me? I mean I know he liked her and all but still, how could he say that? He was worried about me but he only specifically mentioned Ivy. He was so worked up about all of this. As if I wasn't. I was so mad when I heard what I had to do but I wanted to help my friends, now I don't even know what he is going to do.
"Are you still mad about Hollis?" Noelle asked.
"Well, yeah, he hurt me." I said.
"Well our plane lands in a few minutes so you better figure out what you are going to do because we don't want this going on for our plans. He will be able to do it right Reed?" Noelle asked.
"I sure hope so." I said.
I leaned forward to look out the window. It was truly beautiful; the snow covering Easton reminded me why I came here. It wasn't enough to erase everything else but it sure helped. As we rounded over the campus of Easton Academy there wasn't much buzz. Only the few exchange students were there. Mostly everyone else had gotten the memo to stay on vacation for a little while. School was going to be back again but not for a few weeks. The only other people on campus were a few Billings girls who were on lock down for now.
"It's beautiful." I said.
"Yeah it really is." Noelle said. She had a look on her face that was pure admiration. Something you didn't normally see on Noelle. It looked like it she just enjoyed the sight of snow. It could easily make her happy. Seeing her happy made me smile because since everything with Dash she has been pretty depressed although she may not show it I know it.
"Please remain seated while the plane is in motion we will be landing momentarily." A voice over the loud speaker began. I looked back and Josh looked upset and angry. His eyes were filled with confusion, hut and anger. This wasn't going good.
A few minutes later we were on the ground and a voice came over the loudspeaker saying to retrieve our things and we could get out luggage at the back of the plane. As soon as the doors opened Noelle pulled me up and I grabbed the carry-on luggage we had. She ran outside to get our bags and I met her there.
"Let's go put our stuff in Billings and go to the hospital." Noelle said.
There were three cars to take us back to Easton. Noelle and I grabbed the first one and when Kiran and Taylor came in we told the driver to drive. About ten minutes after an uncomfortable silence we arrived in Easton and at Billings.
"Home sweet some." Noelle said.
"Are we still kicking Amberly out?" I asked.
"Not yet." Noelle said.
"Let's go to our rooms. Reed you and I will be in my room, Taylor and Kiran will be in there old room." Noelle said.
We unloaded our luggage and stepped inside. It was almost dead. Only Missy and Lorna were there.
"Hi guy's." Missy said completely unexcited.
"So nice to see you too." Noelle said.
"OMG! Seriously Kiran and Taylor are here?" Missy said.
"Hi Missy." Kiran said emotionless.
"Hi," Taylor said blandly. Missy's face showed a little bit if hurt. We ran up the steps to our rooms. My room had been redone and there were too beds. Noelle's was purple and pink and mine was green and blue. It was awesome. I looked at Noelle and she nodded.
"Thank you so much." I said.
"No problem. Now let's go to the hospital." Noelle said.
We waited in the car for Kiran and Taylor. As they got in Josh ran out of the other car. We told the driver to drive but josh got over to us to quickly.
"Reed, we need to talk." He said.
"I'll meet you guys later." I said.
"Ok, Reed, be careful." Noelle said.
Josh pulled me over to the Art Cemetery.
"What do you want?" I asked really mean. Meaner than I meant to be.
"I wanted to work this out." Josh said.
"Well…" I said.
"Well what?" Josh asked.
"I am waiting for my apology." I said.
"Why do you think you are getting an apology?" Josh said.
"Well maybe because you openly said what happened to Ivy but didn't think of what happened to me." I said.
"Why are you so self centered?" Josh said with a lot of venom.
"Really, I am self centered. Ok then you are a two timing jerk who doesn't care about other people." I said.
"You know Reed I can't believe I took you back." Josh said.
"Josh I didn't mean it like that." I said.
"Yeah you did." Josh said.
"Well I did take you back." I said.
"Whatever…" Josh said.
"You know you are being such a…a…" I said.
"A what Reed?" Josh asked.
"An overreacting jerk, I can't believe I chose you." I said. Shit. I didn't mean to say that. It was word vomit. As soon as I said it Josh's face fell.
He started to walk out.
"Josh I didn't mean it like that. It just came out." I said.
"Whatever. We are done for good. Have fun with your little plan to help those bitches but don't expect my help. Don't expect anything from me. Don't worry I wont tell anyone your dirty little secret." He said and stormed off. I fell to my knees and started to cry. I stopped myself.
I ran to the car that was about to leave and jumped in. Astrid, Trey, Whit, and Constance were inside.
I couldn't hold the tears anymore. They all came flowing out.
"Reed, what's wrong?" Constance asked.
"Josh." I said.
"Reed what happened?" Constance asked in a motherly sweet tone.
"Something just recent. Like plane ride recent." I said and Astrid and Trey knew what I was talking about. I sat silently in the car for the ten minute drive. When we arrived at the hospital I mindlessly ran into the office. I saw Noelle sitting in a chair.
"Where is Dash?" I asked.
"He is ok, he just fell asleep and I told him I would wait for everyone else." Noelle said.
"That's nice." I said.
"Reed, you r face is red, what is going on?" She asked.
"Well, as soon as we get back we can have a fun round of FYB." I said.
"Oh god. No. He didn't take it that bad?" Noelle asked.
"Well we both got nasty but he made it pretty clear that we were over." I said.
"You know what Reed? This will be better than FYB. It will be GROYOB." Noelle said.
"GROYOB, what is that?" I laughed.
"Get revenge on you old boyfriend. We will get him back Reed. You guys will make up. I know it you always do." Noelle said.
"I sure hope so." I said.
I started planning right then what I wanted to do fro my revenge. This could get interesting.
"Miss, the young boy you were with is asking for you and possibly a Red and Josh?" A doctor said.
"Ok and its Reed." Noelle said laughing.
"My apologies." The doctor replied and led us to Dash's room.
"How are you?" I asked.
"Good but about what happened." He said.
"Dash let's not worry now." I said.
"Ok but where is Josh?" He asked. I quivered at the name.
"Being a baby about some recent events. Not you so don't worry but we need to get him back." Noelle said.
"What did he do?" Dash asked.
"He broke up with me over something stupid." I said.
"Well I can tell you it is his loss. So do you want me to help plan your revenge?" He asked.
"Sure," I said laughing. He really was a good friend. He always made me feel better.
"Noelle do you have any ideas?" Dash asked.
"Well I have a few up my sleeve but I would like to hear your ideas." She said.
"Ok well I was thinking you could make him insanely jealous with someone at school. Also you could just avoid him and not even look at him. Make it look like you don't care. You can have parties and things like that without him." Dash said.
"Well maybe the first to but I was thinking more like completely ignoring him, never even looking at him, and this one you might oppose to but you could go get into his house and steal all of his paintings and pictures of you and stuff." Noelle said.
"Wow you are evil." Dash joked.
"I don't know. Is it too mean?" I asked.
"Not if you return it." Noelle said.
"Yeah it will be one big practical joke. I will distract Josh whenever you guys want to go." Dash said.
"Well how tomorrow. Trey said Josh was going to his house for a little while." I said.
"Perfect," Noelle said with her eyes lighting up. She really lived for this stuff.
"Then I will call Josh tomorrow and ask if he wants to hang out here." Dash said.
"Cool," I said. It was like nine o'clock and I was getting really tired. I yawned really big and caused Dash and Noelle to both laugh.
"Well why don't you guys get going and I will see Josh tomorrow, let's say around 5-ish." Dash said.
"Ok, see you later." I said. Noelle walked out with me. Everyone else had left and there was one car left. I had fallen asleep in the car practically so Noelle might have talked to me and I just didn't realize it. It seemed routine to go up to my new room already. I barely go into my pajamas before I drifted into a deep, heavy, dreamless sleep.
"Reed wake up." I was pushed off the bed by Noelle. I heard her laugh and then she came to help me up.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"About ten, but we need to go shopping for some spy clothes." She said.
"Why, I mean I do own black." I said.
"That wouldn't be fun." Noelle said.
"Fine let me shower and then we can go." I said.
"Ok you have fifteen minutes starting…NOW." Noelle said. I got into the shower and let the warm water inhale me. It felt so good. About ten minutes later I was out with my hair done and I was dressed in my favorite sweater and jeans. Noelle texted me on my iPhone saying she was waiting in her car.
"Hey," I said approaching her.
"Hey yourself." She replied.
"Have I mentioned yet that I miss the warm sun?" I said.
"I know what you mean. It is so cold here." She said. We had a bunch of small talk for a while and we arrived at the mall not too much later.
As we were walking in I saw someone I didn't want to see. To my surprise there were two people I really didn't want to see. My mouth dropped open.
"He really is a heartless kid." Noelle said.
Who is there?
What is Reed so shocked about?
Is she upset?
Will it change her plans for later or make them more severe?
Update and you will find out!!!
