"Hurry up Jade! We are all waiting for you!"
"I said I wouldn't go!"
"If you don't open that door I will ask Cedric to knock it down himself!"
"Go ahead!! I don't care!"
I heard her loud heels clanking against the floor in a furious way. She was definitely infuriated that I didn't want to attend yet another distasteful dinner with the Wesleys. I suddenly heard a low whisper against my door "Jade it's me Britney..Quick open me before she comes back". I rolled my eyes and ignored her. As if I was gonna fall for that trap. She was like Petra's puppet. However the urge in her tone somewhat alarmed me. I was curious to know why she was avoiding to be seen by Petra. So I got up and opened the door. To my surprise she was indeed alone as she hurried inside my room.
"Close it hurry!"
"Okay okay..Why so secretive?"
"Jade there's something I've been meaning to tell you.."
"I can tell but every time something happens..What is it?"
"I...Um...I..."
"Yeah Brit??"
"Well first can I ask you a personal question? And you promise to answer me with total honesty?"
"Yes go on with it already"
"Do you really love Landon?"
"What?? How did-"
"I've been knowing for some time now..Just answer the question"
"Of course I do..But that doesn't matter anymore"
"What do you mean Jade?"
"It's been over..A long story I really don't want to get into"
"No..No you can't let him go! Listen to me if you really love Landon go look for him and fix it! You both need to stay with each other"
"What the heck has gotten into you Brit? Why do you care so much?"
"I..I-I'm just looking out for your happiness..If you stay Father will have you marry Cedric! You'll be unhappy for the rest of your life Jade"
"Listen to me! I will NEVER marry that bastard!! I hate him with all my might!"
"I understand but Father is having a major financial crisis that will no doubt turn into our tragic drop & who do you think offered a hand of help?"
"Those assholes! Why are the Wesleys tormenting me this way!"
"I'm not sure but I'm here to offer you my help.."
"How can you help me?"
"I will distract everyone at dinner tonight while you excuse yourself to use the ladies room. Use that time to escape Jade! Go look for Landon and leave together before it's too late!"
"Why do you say that?? What else do you know Britney!?"
"Um.."
"Cmon spit it out!"
"I overheard Petra and Mr. Leon speaking over the phone last night..They will make the engagement official today...With or without your consent"
"WHAT!? No...That evil bitch! I will not marry him!!"
"Listen to me Jade! You need to leave!"
