CHAPTER FIVE
Family
The next morning, i woke up with adrenaline coursing through me. Secrets..... The shower was on which meant Elena was in there. I quickly ran to the treasure chest and took out the laptop. I clicked the acount and felt my confidence level go down. The account was called Secrets, why would she have the same password? I tried it anyways. Secrets The screen loaded for a moment and then it accepted. I grinned in joy and then gasped when the shower turned off. I turned it off and hid it back in the chest and then started making Elena's bed. Elena stepped out of the shower and smiled at me. She grabbed a skirt and a t-shirt and then walked back in the washroom. I took a deep breath and started doing random things waiting for her to leave the room. 15 minutes later, Elena finally left the room and i opened up the laptop again. There were folders and folders named with initials in the account. I opened up one folder that read HT. I rolled my eyes when i only found some typed up history notes for a test. I looked at the other folders in disbelief. SS, DS, TP, EG, KG and IS. Isabella Swan.... I clicked open the IS folder. I gasped in shock when a MSN conversation popped up. It was between Noelle and Elena.
Noelle: You're job is to bring her at the front gate at 5.
Elena: How are we going to get her caught though?
Noelle: I will get the Cromwell to follow Isabella through the woods to the party. Make sure you leave as soon as you drop her off at the gate. Tell her you forgot something in the room.
Elena: Got it.
Noelle: This will be exciting. Nuper did an awesome job at arranging the party.
Elena: Smart of us to choose her huh?
Noelle: Totally. G2G.
Elena: KK. Bye
Noelle:Bye
I took a deep breath as i closed the saved conversation. Another moment, and i'd start hyperventilating. I got up, my hands and legs shaking and I started off to clean everyone's rooms. I took a deep breath and walked to my room. After taking a shower and dressing i sat down on my bed because i was all of a sudden feeling very dizzy. I groaned and hid my face in my pillow trying to stop my dizziness. My stomach felt all queazy. I knew i'd puke soon. It was 8:00. Everyone was probably having breakfast and not even caring where i was. Tears poured down my cheeks as i lay down on my bed. About a few minutes later, my door flew open and in stepped Elena, Nuper and Noelle. Nuper walked over to me and gently put a hand on my forehead. "Kripa? Are you okay?" Elena asked concerned. "Your face is all pale." Noelle muttered walking over to sit on the other side of me. Before i could speak Nuper spoke up. "No she's not okay. She has a high fever." Elena walked into the bathroom and came back with a wet cloth. Nuper took it from her and put it on my forehead. "I'll go get the nurse." Elena said and she quickly ran out of the room. "I'll get you some water." Noelle said gently before getting up to leave. "Does your head hurt?" Nuper asked. I nodded. "Do you want an advil or something?" She asked. I nodded again. "I have some in my room." She muttered walking out. I lay for a while waiting for my friends to come back and then gasped. I ran to the washroom and leaned in front of the toilet. I flushed after vomiting and then stood in front of the mirror trying to calm myself. I washed my face and hands and then sat down on the bed, with my head resting on the headboard. I felt much better than before but my face and ears were burning like hell. I heard some heels clicking on the linoleum floor just around the corner. And then the nurse walked in. She smiled at me. "Oh dear. How are you feeling now?" She asked, her voice motherly. I smiled weakly. "I'm better now. Just tired." I muttered. She popped a thermometer in my mouth and nodded after looking at the temperature. "You should be fine soon. Take some rest. I'll have some soup sent to you in a while. Okay?" She said. I nodded and watched her leave. Elena bent down and helped me lay down. I thanked her quietly and she just smiled. She sat down beside me. "You don't have to clean the rooms and stuff anymore." Elena said with finality. Noelle walked in with a glass of water. "Yeah. You don't have to." Noelle said putting the glass of water on my desk and then sitting down beside Elena. "Do you want the advil now?" Nuper asked coming. I shook my head. Nuper put the advil down beside the water and came to sit down with the other two. I groaned inwardly. I had actually been snooping around in these girls rooms! They cared about me so much and i went and betrayed them i thought miserably. I slowly drifted off to sleep with the girls talking quietly in the background. A little while later, i woke up again. I sat up and let out a shriek out of surprise when i found the girls sleeping beside me. I groaned upset of what i had been doing behind their backs. I looked at the time. 11:00. I had been asleep for 3 hours! They'd been here for 3 hours! I could feel the guilt course through me as fast as lightening. I got up and saw the bowl of soup, water and advil lying on the desk. Noelle stirred a little and smiled at me. "Yeah you should eat. I made the soup myself because i didn't have anything to do." She said getting up and fixing her beautiful blonde hair. She looked at the other two girls and smiled fondly. "I can't believe we had fell asleep." She said laughing slightly. "For three hours." I said. She looked at me surprised. "Really?" She asked looking in the mirror. I nodded. "Thank you." I said my voice filled with emotion. Noelle looked at me again and walked toward me. She gave me a side hug. "What are friends for sweety." She said sweetly before walking out of the room. I took a deep breath and after eating the soup, decided to join everyone else for lunch in the cafateria. After lunch i walked back to Billings and sighed. I had to tell them. I walked into the parlor of our dorm and took a deep breath when i found the three girls sitting there. "I need to tell you guys something." I said quietly. Noelle, Nuper and Elena looked up at me curiously. "I did something really horrible you guys." I muttered. And then i told them about their secrets i discovered and the MSN conversation i had found. I waited for them to yell at me, be angry and then kick me out but instead i found them looking at me with amused expressions. "You aren't mad?" I asked surprised. Elena laughed. "Why would we be mad?" She asked. "Well i was snooping around your rooms." I said puzzled. Noelle rolled her eyes. "First of all it was all our plan. This was the last test. Natasha already deleted those pictures. We needed to know if you were loyal and if we could trust you. Which we've discovered now, that we can. So just chill out. Oh and by the way, those "secrets" were planted by us on purpose." Noelle said. "You didn't really think i was anorexic did you? I eat anything when i want." Nuper said laughing. I felt anger surge through me. "I went through all that and all that guilt for nothing?" I demanded. Noelle raised a perfect eyebrow. "What do you mean "for nothing"? You're offically a Billings Girl Kripa Sharma and that is everything." Noelle said her eyes twinkling. I sighed and blew out a breath. I sat down on one of the chairs and covered my face with my hands. Nuper walked over and put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry. Every one of us had to do this Kripa. You're not the only one. We know how it feels but what you get in return is something you'll cherish your entire life." Nuper said hugging me tightly. I wiped my tears and smiled at her. "You're right." I muttered. Noelle and Elena smiled. "Group hug." Noelle said laughing. She wrapped Nuper, Elena and me in a tight hug. From this day on, i knew that i was one of them. I knew i had friends i could rely on whenever i needed to. We were sisters no matter what, we were family. And now i was part of that family.

What do you guys think? Oh and heres the thing. I'm upto Chapter Five and it was all in Kripa's POV but the next five chapters will be in someone else's POV and you guys get to choose. So pick one person from whose POV you'd like to read the next five chaps in. Choose wisely. Think of the person who's the most mysterious or who can give you more info on other things. My best choices would be: Noelle, Elena, Ariana, Damon, Angad and Stefan!😉 Sooo go ahead and choose people!!
Love,
~Jot~
