Poison Ivy: The Secret Society Page #4

You know what, forget it.

Oh, and some guy named Will called.

He sounded nice.

Hello.

Hey, it's me. I got your message.

I really miss you guys.

It's so big here, it makes me

realize how small home is.

Perspective does amazing things.

It's so different.

I'm just starting to make some friends.

That's great, Daisy...

...really.

So maybe we'll be lucky enough out here

to get a visit over the next summer.

- Yeah, how's your home coming along?

- It's coming along great.

I should probably have

the foundation of our...

Of the, uh, ahem, place done by then.

I miss you, Daisy.

I miss you too.

Look at you.

Heh. What?

Daisy, I'd like to see you

in my office, please.

Is something wrong?

It's about your scholarship.

Your application was reviewed,

and, well, they awarded you one, in full.

Congratulations, you deserve it.

It must be a relief

not to have to work here anymore.

Wow, I mean, I don't even know

what to say.

This is incredible,

but I would still like to work here.

I'm not the type to quit

in the middle of something.

Well, we would love to keep you on.

You've been a valuable asset to us.

You replaced the dean mid-semester

last year, right?

Yes.

Was that because of the death

on campus?

Yes, that had something to do with it,

but not everything.

Why do you ask?

Well, I'm rooming

with her old roommate, Magenta Hart.

It was an accident, right?

I've heard all the rumors too, but, no,

in the end it was a terrible accident.

Unless, of course,

you've heard to the contrary.

No.

Congratulations again, Daisy.

Thank you.

Ladies.

Come to honor our agreement?

Only if you've honored yours.

You're serious.

And you weren't?

- Heh.

Lea told me all about it.

I'm totally into it.

Well, then I think we should find

a place a little more comfortable.

The minute my grades are changed,

we're all yours.

So, what's the holdup?

The passwords change every week.

I don't know what time they change, so...

Is little Blakey scared?

It's big Blakey, remember?

And you rocket scientists

are confusing smart and cautious for scared.

Smart and cautious or just stalling?

Not stalling.

So then you have the passwords?

I might have this week's password.

Where might that be?

It might be in my pocket.

Ooh.

Nothing there, Blakey.

Oh, there's something there.

Check the other.

If you're messing with me...

I mean it.

Let's go, Issy.

You're reneging on our agreement.

No.

Just making sure everything's

on the up and up.

Oh, it will be.

And, uh...

...even if you do manage to get your grades

changed, there's still Daisy.

Daisy's an Ivy, just like I said she'd be.

Well, just because the empress

has some new clothes...

...doesn't mean she's gonna fall

on her sword.

She'll fall, they all do.

I can make her do whatever I want.

- Really?

- Mm-hm.

And you just better make sure those

passwords are right, and I won't have to.

Bye.

It's nice to have Blakey

wrapped around your finger.

Isn't it though?

And...

Sure beats studying.

Oh, no, he didn't.

What a liar.

That really pisses me off.

It's time for plan B.

I think that's why Blake

has to sleep with every girl he sees.

He's making up for the fact that his father

can't even get with his own mother.

Pathetic.

Sorry, Daisy, we didn't mean...

No, it's okay. I'm so over it.

What's going on?

Daisy.

Daisy, wait.

I'm sorry you had to see that.

I can't believe he taped us.

He's a man.

How could he stoop so low?

He taped you, Daisy.

You have to hit him back, hard.

No, just... Just drop it.

I don't wanna make the situation worse.

If someone throws eggs at your house...

...you burn theirs down.

Now, are you truly...

...ready to become an Ivy?

Yeah, so make sure you do it.

Here we go.

Four minutes? Let's go.

It's clear.

This is your thing. Do it.

I can't.

There is no can't.

Did he hesitate

when he took advantage of you?

Blake doesn't deserve this.

Wrong answer.

I'm out of here.

We'll be taking a closer look

at governmental policy...

...which maintains a separation of power

through checks and balances.

- Not a good show last night, Miss Daisy.

- What you did was wrong.

- What he did was worse.

- But he did it to me.

That's where you're wrong.

You belong to a family now.

I thought you knew that.

Well, maybe I didn't quite understand.

Well, now you do.

Don't you? This is for life.

You better get used to that.

Sorry.

We forgive you, Daisy.

You're young, and you don't quite

understand how it all works yet.

But...

...if you ever cross your sisters again...

...it will be, oh, so ugly if you do.

Everyone get your questions together.

Your opening statements.

That's enough for today.

Try to read through to chapter 27

before the next class, and thank you.

Ms. Brooks.

Can I speak to you for a moment?

Everything okay?

Usually a point of mine doesn't go by...

...without you coming up

with some new question.

Yeah, yeah, I'm just cramming

for another class.

The majority of the essays

have been turned in.

I heard,

and I'm just finishing mine up.

There's two weeks left before the exam.

Let's pull it together.

- You gave my car a nice paint job.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

I get it. Azalea put you up to it.

Yeah, just like that video

you leaked on the Internet.

There's no use explaining

that I had nothing to do with that.

And I had nothing to do with your car.

Now we're even.

Bye, Blake.

Hey.

- That's that Internet girl.

The girl from that...

Oh, yeah, ride me, baby, yeah.

- Oh, my God.

She's, like, strutting her thing. I swear.

That was a 10.

We need to talk.

Yes, drama.

My father had dinner

with Senator Mitchell last night.

They got to talking

about the internship...

...and it seems somebody's

already been chosen.

And it's not Daisy.

Well, who is it?

It's not you, Azalea.

It's Magenta Hart.

What? That rainbow-haired corpse?

I know, Blake flat-out lied to us.

He lied about the passwords

and about the internship.

Maybe he's been playing games

with you all along.

Really?

The Graves have declared war

on the Ivys.

If it's war they want, I'll give it to them.

Have the police questioned you

about Blake's car?

No.

Good. Honestly, I'm relieved.

Look...

...Daisy...

...in life, you'd hope that people

do the right thing, and rarely...

...that's the case.

But you're being used by people

that are trying to take us away from you.

Do you wanna be an Ivy?

Well, you said it was for life.

What choice do I have?

There's always a choice.

You just have to be able to deal

with the repercussions.

Is that a threat?

Sweetheart...

...who do you think made

your financial-aid problems go away?

Who do you think gave

you your scholarship?

And it doesn't end there.

What about your little Will back home?

Are you ready for that?

Ready to take the innocent down

with you?

How do you know about Will?

It's called leverage, Daisy.

I have stashed away

this piece of paper...

...and at the top it says "Land Deed,"
