Chapter 15
AN: So, since I took so long with the last chapter, I decided to update already. I hope you like the interruptions, well, I'll say no more.
Reed POV
All of a sudden I felt a hand clamp down on my wrist. I was pulled into Josh's chest. He leaned down and I knew exactly what was about to happen. Josh gently kissed me. While it was light and airy it was full of passion. I slipped my arms around Josh's neck. He pulled me tightly into him, elevating the levels of passion. Josh and I broke apart but stood there in each other's arms.
"Hey! Hollis Hugger!" I heard behind me. I didn't need to turn around to know exactly who it was. Josh pulled away from me regardless. He was evidently embarrassed.
I spun around and gave Noelle the worst death glare I could manage. "Noelle! LEAVE!" I yelled at her. "What are you doing here?" She was in the worst possible place at the worst possible time.
"I came to see you Hollis Hugger." Noelle said happily. "Just come talk to me. Please?" Noelle definitely wasn't her usual, cocky arrogant, self.
"Noelle, what's wrong with you? Why are you acting so strange?" I asked.
"I just really need to talk to you Hollis Hugger."
"ENOUGH with the Hollis Hugger thing!" I yelled. I was really irritated. Noelle needed to leave, NOW. "Please Noelle, just leave."
"I'll leave when I'm done talking to you, alone." She said, dragging me by the arm further into the library. "Listen, I know you said no to Billings already, but I want to give you another chance. Just hear me out, I want you to come to our party in the woods, then back to Billings. Maybe then you'll finally change your mind." Noelle said hopefully.
"If I go, will you leave me alone?" I asked exasperated.
"Only if you really party and consider our offer." Noelle agreed.
I thought about it, it'd be worth it. She'd finally leave me alone. I'd never have to deal with this again.
"Fine." I agreed "When?"
"Tonight," Noelle replied
"Where do I meet you?"
"Outside the Caf. After dinner."
"Okay, I replied." As I started to walk away
"Reed," Noelle said "Dress nice."
I nodded and started walking back to Josh.
Josh POV
I felt bad for having to ditch Reed at dinner, but Thomas suckered me into going to a stupid party in the woods tonight. Thomas always gets wasted at them so I have to be there to get him back to our room. I had to miss dinner to help bring all of Thomas' alcohol to the usual clearing at the edge of campus. I couldn't believe that I had agreed to this. I never actually drank anything at these parties. You never know what Noelle and company might do. I don't trust them. Never have, never will.
As I lugged case after case from Thomas' car, I hoped that maybe Thomas would get wasted earlier than usual and I would still have time to see Reed tonight, even if only for a little while.
AN: I know this is short but this is my second update for the day so get over it.
Also from now on my chapters will have song titles, so I may ask for some help if I can't come up with one.
