Chapter 1

Sitting in history class for more than one hour was the worst possible torture for Reid Garwin. He hated the teacher and just hated the damn subject.

"Tyler" whispered Reid as he elbowed his friend, like usual he got no response. Tyler was busy paying attention in class.

"No wonder he doesn't get the chicks, too geeky" muttered Reid as he chewed on his pencil.

Eventually the bell ran, "Thank God" muttered Reid as he grabbed his belongings and shot out of the classroom. It was Friday and school was over, Nikki's night.

"Hey Reid" said Pogue, one of his four best friends. Pogue was a big bloke, longish dirty blonder hair; captain of the swim team and a very muscular and big physique.

"Hey Pogue, hey Caleb what's up guys?" asked Reid as he shuffled his hair and a couple of girls walked past them staring at them.

"Not much, lessons been a real drag this week, so Nikki's tonight right Reid?" said Caleb who was tall, short brow hair with piercing eyes, he was another of the schools knock outs and part of the group called The Ipswich Sons which Pogue, Reid and Tyler belonged to.

"Dam right man, I got to go, I could do with some sleep" said Reid and waved good bye. He was known as the player of the four, dirty short blonde hair, blue eyes, a killer smile and well built body, was on the swim team, rich and popular, so that made him a knock out an done of the most wanted guys of Spencer Academy. Every single girl at the Academy wanted to go out with him or had already been with him. Lately the lack of new blood at Spencer was making him bored. He was tired of all the preppy and little rich girl and wanted something new.

Soon all four of the boys were at Nikki's together with Kate and Sarah, Pogue's and Caleb's respective girlfriends.

"I am getting bored with the selection of chicks in this place" whined Reid as Pogue burst out laughing.

"Well, you have about tried every single girl here" said Pogue with a smiled as he kissed Kate gently and tickled her.

"Yeah Reid, I honestly think it's about time you changed a bit and start looking for something more than a one night stand" said Sarah

"Nah, don't want to end up like you two" said Reid with a grin as he pointed at his two friends. Caleb gave him a punch and they all cracked up.

"It's not as bad a it looks" grinned Pogue as Kate scowled at him.

"Yeah right"

"Well Scarlet, this is your first night here so I hope you do a good job. It's not hard and I don't want you messing around or I'll fire you" said Nikki as he handed her an apron and a pen and pad.

"Don't worry, I've worked as a waitress before" and took off to her first table.

Her first table was the Ipswich Son's table; she walked over to them with a friendly smile and asked "So what can I get for you guys?"

Kate looked up at the young waitress she couldn't be more then eighteen, probably around their age. She had dark brown hair which was curly at the tips and honey colored eyes. She had red full lips, the lover being bigger than the top one, long and curled eyes lashes, pale skin that shoed no imperfection and very a nice smiled showing white teeth. She was medium stature, nice athletic body and a big front gear.

"Uh I think I'll have a coke and fries" said Pogue

"I'll have a diet" said Sarah

"I pass" said Caleb

"Me too" said Kate "I'll pick at your food"

Pogue made a face only to receive a gentle push from his girlfriend.

Reid had spaced out, "Uh what about you?" asked Scarlet as she wrote everything down not quite taking notice of Reid.

"Huh, what?" asked Reid as he nearly fell off his chair and looked up at a grinning Scarlet who was trying hard not to laugh together with the rest of the group.

"I said what are you going to order?"

"Uh sorry, a coke" said Reid eventually trying to regain composure from his embarrassed near fall.

"Ok then, it won't take long" as she walked away.

"That was so funny" said Tyler as he was still trying to stop laughing.

"Shut up" said Reid as sat straight on his chair and turned around to take a look at the waitress.

"Pretty girl no Reid?" said Sarah

"What? Nah, she's a waitress Sarah for god's sake" said Reid in an apprehensive tone.

Sarah raised and eyebrow and shrugged her shoulders.

"Whatever you say"

Soon she was back at the table with everyone's orders.

"Thanks" said Sarah

"So, what's your name?" asked Tyler

She smiled and said "Scarlet"

"Nice name, how old are you? I mean you can't be more than eighteen you look our age" commented Kate

Scarlet nodded and said "Seventeen and a half, what about you guys what are you names?"

"Kate"

"Sarah"

"Caleb"

"Pogue"

"Tyler"

Scarlet nodded her head and noticed the blonde boy who had nearly fallen off his chair hadn't introduced himself. He had a real cocky look on his face, not a look she liked. She didn't ask his name.

"So you guys go to Spencer Academy?"

They nodded, "What about you?" asked Sarah

"I go to the local high school here"

"You look it" muttered Reid under his breath.

Scarlet heard what he had said and decided to ignore him. She his type, spoiled little rich kids who thought they were better than everyone else.

Caleb gave Reid a piercing look and smiled at Scarlet.

"No problem, don't have to apologize for assholes" said Scarlet, Reid looked up at her and their eyes met. He tried intimidating her but she didn't move an inch.

"That won't work with me" she said and walked way.

"Bitch" muttered Reid

"Dude, what's your problem?" demanded Tyler

"She is"

"Why the hell do you have to be so fucking rude to people?" cried Tyler as he got up and left the table leaving all awestruck for his sudden outburst.

"What's his problem?" said Reid

"Oh come off it Reid, grow up for God's sake" said Pogue as he munched on a French fry.

Tyler had walked to the bar, where he was talking to Scarlet.

"Great, the bitch has worked her charms on him" murmured Reid as he started at her.

"Would you just shut up Reid?" said Sarah as she sipped at the soda and smiled at Tyler talking to Scarlet.

After a while of sitting around, talking and drinking and dancing a couple of songs they all went home except for Reid and Tyler.

"Tyler, go home. I am going to be here for a while longer" said Scarlet as she shooed his out of her way.

"I'll wait" as he sat on one of the stools and she went to the back door to take out the garbage. She opened to trash can and dumped everything there and saw Reid wandering there.

"What are you doing here?" she demanded

Reid turned around and saw her standing on the door with her hands on her hips. She looked so arrogant that he just wanted to step all over her. She was annoying.

"I go wherever I want to and when I want to, what you are going to kick me out of this shitty little place?" he said.

"Whatever, no point asking you a question because you are too stuck up and self absorbed" she said and turned her back to him and closed the door.

He stood there processing what she had just said to him; she hardly knew him and was already insulting him.

"What nerve, arrogant little bitch" he said to himself as he kicked a can of soda.

He was going to show her who he was, no one insulted Reid Garwin and especially not a girl.
