Insane, that was the word he tended to use to describe her, yeah she was sugar, spice and all things nice…but insane nonetheless.

I feel my latest stories/chapters have been lacking so I'm trying to get my groove back by doing writing this little thingy here, it will be an easy going kind off playful story.

Sort off a love triangle between Reid, a girl and Aaron,

The title is based on the Him song: "Wings of a Butterfly" kind off in reference to the strange sort of flirting/game between Reid and the OC

Yes I tend to over think things, but enjoy!

Ripping Out Butterfly Wings

Chapter One: Chelsea, Chelsea...

Tyler with his baby blue eyes, gentle, patient smile and passive acceptance of whatever occasionally dangerous situations Reid's thrown them in. Tyler with his steadfast friendship who made it almost difficult for Reid to lash out at him.

"Tyler for fucks sake!"

Yes Tyler made it difficult for Reid to lash out at him…but not impossible.

But honestly Tyler disserved it this, because well he had pestered him into agreeing to got to the library with him, while everyone knew Reid Garwin didn't go to the library, and for what? To make puppy eyes at some chick!

Tyler gave him a reprimanding look. "I know you're not familiar with your current surroundings but this is a library Reid, shouting is a big no-no."

"Fuck it," Reid stated. "What are you doing?"

Tyler frowned. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

"I'm not blind Tyler," Reid stated leaning back in his chair, linking his arms behind his head and staring up at the ceiling.

"You're going to make me ask aren't you?" Tyler said shaking his head.

"You've been making puppy eyes at that chick instead of making our assignment the entire time we've been here, what's up with that?"

Tyler looked at him, his jaw slightly dropped. "No I haven't."

"Sure, than how about I prance on over to Lindsay and ask her out?"

Tyler frowned. "You wouldn't."

Reid just gave him a smirk that insured him that: yes he would.

"You know, you're the only guy I've ever heard admit to prancing," Tyler grumbled.

Reid just shrugged. "So why are you swooning over Lindsay Harry?"

"I don't know...does there have to be a reason?"

Reid rolled his eyes. "Idiot," he muttered before giving the girl who was actually getting some work done with the help of one of her friends a not so discreet once over before concluding. "I'm not that into redheads but if it floats your boat…But I gotta admit she's truly blessed in the ass department and the rest of her is okay too I guess."

"Oh brother," Tyler muttered staring at the ceiling obviously annoyed.

Reid grinned. "What don't like me giving Lindsay a little once over?"

Tyler scowled making a face as if he was in great pain. That's when he noticed Lindsay, who was sitting roughly twenty feet away from them, had heard Reid's little outburst of her name because she was staring at them questioningly.

"You're such a pain in the ass," Tyler muttered.

"What I made her look at you!" Reid stated amused before getting up.

"Oh that's just typical," Tyler snorted. "Getting up and leaving as soon as you have succeeded in fucking up my life."

Reid looked smirked. "Oh I'm only getting started baby boy," he said before stalking off with that up-to-no-good-smirk of his plastered onto his face.

Tyler shot up. "Reid! Get your ass back here!"

But Reid wouldn't be Reid if he actually listened to what Tyler had to say. Maybe he was being a jerk, maybe he should just let baby boy make puppy eyes at the redhead, but where's the fun in that?

"Lindsay," Reid said dropping himself gracefully onto the chair opposite of the two girls who were eying him warily. He propped his beaten shoes up on the table and leaned his chair on his back two legs.

"Sure you can sit with us," the other girl, Reid knew to be called Chelsea said dryly.

Lindsay chuckled. "What do you want Reid?"

"Nothing," Tyler budded in, "he's just being an annoying prick."

"At least I have a prick," Reid deadpanned.

Tyler violently knocked his feet off the table nearly causing Reid to fall out of his chair.

"Jeez thanks baby boy," Reid drawled while the girls just stared at him, or well Lindsay was staring at him, Chelsea was busy studying the ends of her ponytail which had a strange orange colour to them while the rest of her hair was a normal dark brown.

"Uhm, what do you guys want?" Lindsay asked pushing a lock of auburn hair behind her ear.

"Nothing," Reid said grinning like a Cheshire cat. "Why would we need a reason to talk to a couple of pretty girls?"

"You're too kind," Lindsay said rolling her bright blue eyes.

"Yeah I'm just a big old teddy bear and you know you love it," Reid said causing the other girl, Chelsea to dissolve into giggles.

"Chelsea?" Lindsay questioned arching a thin red brow.

"It's silly," Chelsea said through her giggles before clamping both hands over her mouth affectively killing the sound but from the shaking of her shoulders, it was clear she was indeed still giggling uncontrollably.

"Just enlighten us will you," Reid snapped a bit too quickly, his blue eyes narrowed annoyed by her behaviour and remembering she had a reputation for nutty behaviour.

"He said bear!" She eventually blabbed out still giggling.

"So?"

"That's slang for a manly gay guy! I know it's not funny it's just," she let out another burst of giggles. "The school's biggest manwhore just sort of admitted he was gay, oh the irony!"

"You're so weird," Lindsay stated laughingly while Tyler had trouble oppressing his own laughter.

And Reid? Well Reid was just trying to make sense of the nonsense the girl had just spouted. Something happened here…and he had an inkling she had won.

"Don't mind her," Lindsay said still visibly amused. "She tends to blab out everything that floats around in that bubble head of her."

That was two weeks ago, only to weeks ago, but to Reid Garwin it seemed so much longer ago. Two weeks, two long weeks he had spend obsessing over her and everything she did.

Insane, that was the word he tended to use to describe her, yeah she was sugar, spice and all things nice…but insane nonetheless. She put Allison from the breakfast club to shame. So when Aaron Abbot, yeah of all people it had to be him, dumped Kira for her…the gossipers of Spencer were starting to think he wasn't that sane anymore either.

He could get it though, Reid Garwin wouldn't let insanity come between him and a girl either. He had always thought this Chelsea person was cute, but now she was dating Aaron, she was simply irresistible…or to him anyway. Everything she did got to him: how she bit her lip during class, how her hips swayed when she walked, how tight her clothes were in all the right places, how her shirt always rode up showing just that little bit of tummy. Yeah, she got to him that badly and if he didn't act on it soon…he'd be in the nuthouse before she was!

They were at Nicky's, had been for about half an hour, and Tyler had spend half that hour watching Reid stare at Chelsea with the unfaltering attention of a stalker.

"You disgust me," Tyler said evenly while Reid intently watched Chelsea sucking on a lollipop that was so big it probably could cover half her face. She was sitting with Lindsay, Aaron and a couple of his friends and they seemed to be having a much better time than they were having at this point…

"I disgust you?" Reid repeated tearing his eyes from her to glare at his friend. "She's the one sucking on that thing like she's staring in a porn movie!"

"It's just a lollipop Reid."

"It's not just a lollipop: it's a diabolical instrument they use to get to us!" Reid muttered before taking an angry swig from his beer bottle.

"They?" Tyler repeated rolling his eyes.

"Women, baby boy, I'm talking about women. Do try and keep up will you."

"I don't think it's normal to see lollipops as one big female conspiracy," Tyler said shooting, the pool table Pogue and Caleb were currently playing at, longing looks. Why oh why was Reid so obsessed with everything that looked good in a skirt?

"It's her fault!" Reid stated moodily. "Her crazy is rubbing off on me!"

"She's not crazy Reid," Tyler said but as soon as the words left his mouth Chelsea climbed up on a table waving her lollipop around while singing some cheery song causing her friends to burst out into laughter and earning herself some amused looks form Nicky himself.

"Yeah cause it's really normal for people to break out into song like their in fucking-high-school-musical," Reid said dryly glaring daggers at a laughing Aaron.

Okay maybe Chelsea wasn't the sanest of people…but at this point Reid wasn't one to judge.

"I hate her god, I fucking hate her!' Reid muttered slamming his fist on the table.

"Than stop staring at her!" Tyler said through gritted teeth; he hoped and he prayed every day that this was just a faze Reid was going through but every day…his hope faded slightly.

"I can't," Reid stated. "If I do I'll be letting her win."

"Win?" Tyler said incredulously. "You're annoying the fuck out of her by your stalker behaviour, you're wasting your own time staring at her, and you're driving me completely insane! Tell me who is winning here?"

"You don't get it baby boy," Reid said. "She's playing with me, she knows I stare, she does this stuff to get to me, she is enjoying this."

"Oh brother," Tyler muttered rubbing his brow while Aaron helped Chelsea off the table.

Reid watched her make her way over to the bar, alone. She made small talk with Nicky before he stalked off to the kitchen to get her order.

This was his shot.

Wordlessly he got up and walked over to her, eyeing her like a predator stalking his pray…sadly enough for him, this little rabbit would never go down without a fight.

"Hey Chelsea," he purred into her ear.

"Reid," she said flatly. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I saw your little porno act over there,"

"Porno act?" She repeated raising a single dark thin eyebrow. "I was just goofing around."

"While sucking on a lollipop," Reid said with a smirk.

"I like lollipops," Chelsea said with a shrug.

"I can tell," he said giving her a pinning look.

"Pervert," she stated dryly. "And besides the lollipop isn't a tool to drive that puny little mind of yours wild, Aaron gave it to me to celebrate our one week anniversary."

"So Aaron has you sucking on his lollipop?" He questioned laughingly before letting his gaze drop to the large heart shaped lollipop. "Wow he's really overcompensating isn't he?"

She just stared him up and down for a moment with her large pale eyes: "I was wrong about you," she finally concluded.

"Oh?"

"You're really bad at picking up girls," she deadpanned.

Reid stared at her dumbfound, his jaw dropped and there was a rather unintelligible expression plastered onto his face.

Yeah she was right, he admitted it: He, Reid Garwin was horrible at picking up girls! But people weren't supposed to know that, let alone say it out loud! Girls were supposed to see his fumbling and stumbling as a suave strategy, not see right through it! That was not part of the plan!

"Hey Reid," she said interrupting his train of thought. "This is the part where you spout a clever comeback, otherwise it's a monologue, not witty banter."

"I've got more notches in the bedpost than Casanova," he stated lamely. But honestly you try coming up with a clever come back when you had just had the shock of your life.

"Hate to break it to you, but I think the girls see you as the notch in the bedpost sugar," she retorted as Nicky came over to them, she handed him a couple of bills and in return she received a basket of fries.

Reid glared at her but she just smiled.

"Score for Chelsea!" She said cheerily before walking off leaving him to stare at her swaying hips.

Okay, it was 1-0 for Chelsea, but if she thought he was going to leave it that way, boy…was she wrong he was just getting started.
