Chapter 18: The Library Meeting: Part 1

( In Ember's and Dylan's Dorm )

( Ember's POV )

Recap:

And all I could think was.

Oh shit, I'm in deep trouble.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What are doing outta the room so late and, why do you have a bag on?", the security guard asked and thought of an excuse.

"Well I had to go to the bathroom and the bag had my clothes in it with some girl products and my shower soaps.", I say hoping the security guard would by it, at first it looked like he did until he had a suspicious look on his face.

"Why are you in day time clothes instead of pj's.", the security guard asks and I give a seriously look.

"I have insomnia is another reason why I'm still up and if didn't hear me the first I said I had my clothes as in clean clothes in this backpack and girl products.", I tell him again and he makes an "oh" expression.

"Uh, okay. I'll get outta here and let you guys be goodnight.", he says and leaves the room and I walk in closing the door after a few seconds Dylan starts to laugh and I glare at him.

"Did you seriously pull the "girl products" card on him?", he asks still laughing.

"It was the first thing that came to mind okay.", I tell him still glaring at him and then I walk over to my bed.

"Goodnight Dylan, sweet nightmares.", I tell him and he laughs a little

"Goodnight Ember, sweet nightmares to you too.", he says pulling his covers over him and turns towards his wall.

I change back into my pj's really quick and get in my bed I pull my covers over me and hug my stuffed animal as I think about what happened. The events that took place last night.

Now they're gonna know that there's a fifth person in the group and they'll stop at nothing to find out who it is. I think to myself as I hug my stuffed animal tightly. I think about mom and what she would says.

She probably would've said something along the lines of "Do what you think is right.", or "Pull your big girl panties on and do what you think is best to do."

I laughed a little thinking of the things my mom would've probably said. I sigh turn looking up at the ceiling.

I grab my phone and Bluetooth earbuds connecting them to my phone then I turn my music on. I don't turn it on to where it's blaring in my ears.

I close my eyes and think of all the consequences that are to follow tomorrow.

( The Next Morning )

( Tuesday, I think )

( Still Ember's POV )

I'm still awake and listening to my music and then my ear buds die. Damn it. I think to myself as my favorite song "One" by: Creed, turned off thanks to my ear buds dying.

I look at the time and see that my alarm is gonna go off soon. I dismiss my alarm and walk over to Dylan's side putting the speaker part up to his ear then I turn on

"Are You Ready" by: Creed.

As the sound of what I think is an electric guitar blares and he springs up hitting me with a pillow..... again.

"Seriously, it's a good song.", I say as I get up off the floor and turn the music off.

"Come on it's 5:50 and if you want breakfast I suggest you start getting ready and go get some.", I say as I walk over to my closet and pull out a school uniform. I grab my bathroom soaps and a towel and walk outta the room and to the girls bathroom.

I walk in and walk to the very last shower stall. I honestly wish that they had doors on these stalls but, I guess it's whatever as long as nobody decides to peak at me I'm good.

Anyways, I strip my clothes off and turn the shower on mainly cold with two turns of the hot water knob.

After about thirty minutes I turn the shower off and dry off then get dressed really quick. After I walk outta the stall and to the sinks I brush my teeth then look in the mirror to see my hair looks like it just went through a tornado. Do I honestly care, no not really but I figure, might as well look pretty while I see the looks on the teachers face as they see what happened. What I did.

I hear the door open up and I look up in the mirror to see who it is.

"Hey guys.", I say turning around and waving at Aaron and Yasmine.

"Hey, what's up?", Aaron asks and I just had to be sarcastic

"The roof and above that is the sky.", I say sarcastically and she just rolls her eyes.

"So, we heard that you almost got caught?", Yasmine says as more of a question and smiles.

"Let me guess, Dylan told you the whole story?", I ask rolling my eyes as they busted out laughing.

"You pulled the period card on him.", Aaron laughs out.

"What?! It was the first thing that came to mind. My mom used to use that card all the time to get outta things she didn't wanna do.", I say with I slight giggle.

"Okay, okay. Now, we need to hurry up we only have like 30 minutes.", Aaron says walking over to the showers and so does Yasmine.

"Okay, I'll see ya guys in the library.", I say walking outta the bathroom and then bumping into someone. I look up and groan.

"Ugh! You again!", I exclaim getting up quickly.

"What?!", Chase exclaims back at me.

"Why can't you just leave me and my life alone?!", I ask frustratedly

"Hey, I'm not that bad.", he says with a smiles and leans down next to my ear.

"Well, at least not as bad as you.", he whispers in my ear and I push him away from me.

"Just the fucking hell away from me!", I yell and storm off outta the dorm building and to the library where almost everyone is already at.

I walk in and sit at the front four seats open next to me. I hear someone sit down next to me and look over and see Blake

"Thank God it's only you.", I say in a whisper.

"Why what's wrong?", he asks in a whisper tone

"The one guy that you guys call "that Chase dude" is what's wrong.", I say in harsh toned whisper.

"Okay, well, I won't let anything happen to you neither will the rest of the group.", he says and I nod taking a deep breath and hugging him.

"Thank you, so so much.", I whisper as I hug him and he hugs me back

"You're welcome.", he says and we pull away from each other as the bell rings and the rest of the group sits down.

"Read the papers.", I tell them and they do just as everyone else does. I do the same thing so none of the teachers suspects me.

Oh boy this gonna be a fun meeting. I think to myself as I finish rereading the page I have in my hand
