Secrets

2. Briar's Back

"Uh here's the office." Ashlynn said trying to change the subject.

Briar nodded and walked in she walked up to headmaster Grimm.
"Headmaster Grimm I'm back from my travels."Briar said.

"Good. How have you been. Ashlynn step inside too." Grimm requested.

"I've been good I guess."

"That's good and you Miss Ella?"

"Good." Ashlynn replied.

"Also nice to hear. What are you here for?"

"My dorm number and schedule." Briar requested.

"Oh yes. Here they are right on top." Grimm said

"Thanks. We'll be on our way now." Briar said walking out.

"Your welcome and have a good day." Grimm said.

Briar pulled out her schedule that had her room number and roommate on it.

"So who are you rooming with?" Ashlynn asked.

"Well the paper says Melody Piper. Let's see if it's right." Briar suggested and Ashlynn nodded.

The two walked in silence for a while. They were really good friends before but it was just awkward.

"So other than the uh break up what did I miss." Briar asked.

"Duke and I started dating 2 months ago." Ashlynn said.

"Really that's awesome."

"Yeah it is. So what about you. Who did you meet?"

"Lots of people. Most are coming here this year."

"Names?"

"Oh right. Chris Pan, Cory Hook, Hazelbell Fairy, Zella Wicked, Dakota Gale, Sage Scarecrow, Tim Tinman, Abby Lion, Terra Dee, Tessa Dum, Whitney White, Mason Hare, Carter Piller, and I was traveling with Clara Green uh the Princess from Hoppers story." Briar listed.

"Wow was that awkward traveling with Clara?"

"Yes. She's obsessed with him and she knows he likes me. It was so weird. But she was still nice to me."

"Well that's good at least."

"Yeah I also traveled with Jaskson Capulet the next Juliet, and Rowan Montage the next Romeo."

"That's cool."

"Kinda. But Jackson and Rowan hated each other. They kept yelling at each other for no reason."

"Ok that's weird."

"Ya. You and Hunter would have been better for that role." Briar stated then Ashlynn gave her a glare. "I forgot you guys broke up."

"Whatever." Ashlynn said then looked around."I think we're here."

"Oh yeah." Briar said pulling out her room key and opened the door.

Inside the room there was a DJ table set up in the corner and Melody was sitting on the bed.

"Yes! Am I rooming with Briar or Ash?" Melody asked.

"Briar." Ashlynn said smiling.

"Awesome! Where's your dorm Ash?" Melody asked.

"It's room 315." Ashlynn said.

"Awesome! That's right across the hall! Who's your roommate?"

"Cerise."

"Again Awesome!"

"Mel. Stop saying Awesome your going to make me puke." Briar said while she started unpacking.

"Oh sorry."

"Well I should get going now. Bye." Ashlynn said.

She then walked to her room across the hall. She opened the door to see Cerise talking to someone. Ashlynn didn't see who but went straight to her bed and flopped down.

"Uh sorry Hunter I forgot I was rooming with Ash this year." Ashlynn overheard Cerise whisper to Hunter.
Ashlynn sat up laying on her stomach and turned around to see Hunter standing next to Cerise. Then her eyes widened.

"I should leave now."Hunter said walking out the door.

After the door was closed Ashlynn asked "are you two dating?"

"What? No." Cerise said in a squeaky voice that didn't sell Ashlynn.

"It's ok if you are. I don't care. I'm over him."

"If you say so then yes we are dating." Cerise said walking out of the room to keep things from getting awkward.

Ashlynn opened her phone and looked at a folder she hadn't looked at in months. She scrolled to the top. It was a folder filled with pictures of Hunter and Her. She managed to shed only one tear.

She knew she shouldn't be upset. She moved on. Right? She was with Duke now. So Hunter could be with whoever he wanted to be with.
Ashlynn's phone then buzzed.

Jealousy isn't a good color on you.-A

Ashlynn looked around and saw no one there.
