Chapter 10

AN: Okay so I haven't been getting very may reviews for the last chapter. Hopefully these next few chapters will inspire you to tell me what you think… just so you know these next chapters especially, were co-written with little-miss-bella-cullen.

I had to talk to Josh. I was harsh yesterday. I'm just scared of being hurt, and Josh needs to know. I walked to Ketlar, and stealthily snuck up the stairs. I got really lucky because Josh's room was right in front of the stairs. Right then I was terrified of being caught. I knocked on the door with the number Josh had given me. I think. I prayed I was right. I was not getting expelled. I could not go back to Croton. Not now.

Thomas answered the door. Crap. I hoped he wouldn't report me. At that point, that was all I could do. "Well, well, well. It looks like I have a visitor."

I knew Thomas now and I knew that he was arrogant and egotistical. I couldn't bruise his ego, or he might report me.

"Actually Thomas, as much as I like you, I need to talk to Josh." I hoped I was letting him down easy enough without giving him the wrong impression.

"Yeah, yeah. You keep thinking that, New Girl."

New Girl? Thomas had never called me that before, strange. I said nothing to Thomas about it though.

"Is Josh here?" I asked, stepping past Thomas into their room. Josh wasn't there. I tried to ask Thomas again where Josh was, but he wouldn't listen to me.

"Thomas! Listen to me! I need to know where Josh is." I yelled at him for the tenth time.

"Why?" Thomas asked yet again. The other times I hadn't answered, I was scared of breaking down, but now it looked like I didn't have another choice.

"Josh and I got into a fight and he exploded. So I left. I feel bad about it. Now where IS HE?"

Thomas still wouldn't tell me. He was intent on not letting me leave to find Josh. I was annoyed with Thomas, but I kept answering questions, hoping eventually he would tell me where Josh is. I didn't really pay attention to what he was asking and why, I just fired out answers. The conversation slowly drifted from Josh to me and the things I like. When he asked what boys I liked I zoned back in and drew the line there. "No Thomas. I draw the line there. I'm not telling you."

"Come on New Girl. You know you wanna tell me. Please?" Thomas begged. I wasn't budging. He was too close to Josh to know the truth.

"I know why you won't tell me. It's me isn't it?" Thomas asked.

Yeah, right. "I like you Thomas, but not like that." Or not at all "It's someone else."

Thomas leaned in, "You'll come around." Our faces were only an inch apart.

Then the worst possible thing happened. Josh walked in.

AN: Sorry this one is short but the next chapter is in Josh's POV. It's should be up soon. I'd love to know what you think of the AN: Sorry this one is short but the next chapter is in Josh's POV. It's should be up soon. I'd love to know what you think of the real Thomas (at least the real Thomas in our heads).
