FRIDAY

It was quickly approaching the last half of class. It was a sunny Friday afternoon and the students began getting rowdy, just waiting for last period to finish. Caleb, Pogue, Tyler and Reid had been sitting in class listening to their monotone teacher talking about various authors they should be aware of for their final examination.

Caleb had been listening attentively and took notes, while the others all dozed off. Suddenly, Reid awoke to a voice of Marica Xavier, who was sitting beside him. She had whispered something into his ear, and then gave him a big smile.

Reid then turned to the other guys and whispered "Hey, party at Andrew Marques' house. Seven o'clock," a big grin came across his face.

"Mr. Garwin," the teacher said, giving Reid a stern look, "is there something you would like to share with the class?"

Reid's smile grew even wider, "Uh, yes! Party at Andrew Marques' house, seven o'clock."

The students all laughed, but Caleb and Pogue had shook their heads, not approving of Reid's joke.

"Thank you Mr. Garwin for that announcement," the teacher responded with a stern look as he continued.

Class finally ended, and the students were all rushing into the hallway. Caleb was still packing up his book and pens while Reid spoke.

"Are you guys going to Andrew's party? You know it's going to be good." Reid said.

Caleb, Pogue and Tyler looked at each other and nodded. Andrew's parties were always good. Andrew would have a party at least every weekend. The Son's knew Andrew through the swim team.

After school, Caleb, Pogue and Tyler went home to get ready for the party. When it got around seven o'clock, Caleb and Pogue had left to go to the party while Tyler went to get Reid from the dorms.

Tyler and Reid walked into Andrew's house a half hour after Caleb and Pogue had arrived. Reid was wearing dark blue jeans with a long sleeve dark green shirt. He was also wearing his black beanie and black fingerless gloves; as well as black sneakers. Tyler was wearing dark blue jeans with a black shirt under a navy blue jacket. He also wore these blue and white converse sneakers.

Tyler and Reid walked in and saw Caleb with Pogue, Andrew and a girl that they had never seen before. Reid knew most of the girls at Spencer Academy, and he swore that he would have remembered this girl, if she sent to Spenser.

She was an attractive girl. She had light brown hair that was wavy and fell to just below her neck. She wore black pants that hugged her body to show off her curves; she also wore a brown long sleeve shirt over a white tank top. She had a petite frame, her height was 5'0. She had dark green eyes with a little bit of brown that fit nicely with her fair skin. She wore this amazing smile, with the cutest dimples.

"You guys are finally here," Andrew spoke, over excited, Reid could tell that Andrew already had a couple of beers. Suddenly, there was a loud crash coming from the kitchen.

"Shit, uh…I should go check on that," Andrew spoke, with a sudden change in his attitude. He turned to the girl standing beside him and said, "Stay here, you'll be fine".

Awkwardly, the girl agreed while Andrew left. For a couple of seconds, nobody said anything, then Reid spoke.

"I'm Reid, Reid Garwin" Reid said extended his hand, greeting the girl.

"I'm Eva," the girl spoke, extending her arm out to greet Reid, she then looked at Tyler and spoke, "and you are?"

"Tyler," Tyler replied, shy. Once again, there was an awkward silence.

Caleb finally spoke, "So Eva, I um…I've never seen you before, are you new in town?"

"Yah. I just moved in with Andrew's family," Eva replied.

The guys eyes widen. And bluntly Reid asked "Are you guys dating or what?"

Eva's eyed the guys in shock almost in disgust.

"He's my cousin," she laughed it off, "My parents like to travel a lot, and they felt that I was just in the way. So basically they got tired of having me around, and felt that they would have better trips without me. So they moved me her…"

She then paused, almost in shock.

"I don't know why I told you that. But anyways…" she trailed off. Just then Aaron Abbott walked into the house. He walked into the room as if he owned the place. He stopped at the doorway with his boys, and looked around the room, scouting out his target. Then he eyed her, he had seen Eva. He made his way over to Eva with Kiera following him like a lost puppy. He nudged Reid out of the way, and Reid tried to retaliate, but Tyler held him back. Aaron's friends, even stepped in between Reid and Aaron.

Aaron looked Eva up and down and said, "Hi. I'm Aaron Abbott".

Eva knew about Aaron, how he thought he was the shit, and that Kiera was attached to him like an extra limb. She smiled her sweet smile and replied, "Am I supposed to be impressed?"

Aaron looked shocked, he's usually not address like that, and even worse was he was humiliated in front of his boys and the Ipswich boys.

"Well usually hot girls are impressed by me…Scratch that, most girls are impressed by me," Aaron said, with a cocky smirk and laughing.

The Ipswich boys were amused; Caleb had even choked on a sip of his drink.

"Well I'm not like most girls," Eva replied, putting her hand on her hip, "Besides, I'm sure that your girlfriend over there wouldn't want you to flirt with another girl right in front of her." Eva stated, acknowledging Kiera who was standing just behind Reid and Aaron, while eying Caleb.

Aaron leaned one hand on the wall behind Eva and leaned in to whisper in Eva's ear, "She's not my girlfriend." Then he winked.

Eva smiled her sweet smile once again and spoke "Well, in that case-", she then leaned into Aaron and whispered just loud enough for the Ipswich and Aaron's friends to over hear, "I'm still not interested."

By now Caleb and Pogue began to stand up on the stairs, almost in defense for Eva; Reid and Tyler were also beginning to get defensive, slightly twitching and just waiting for Aaron to make a move so that they could make their move. Just then, Aaron had griped Eva's arm. Aaron was the type of guy who never heard 'no'. The Ipswich boys knew it Aaron wouldn't take rejection well, but it still came to them as a bit of a shock, for him to grab a girl like that. Eva's eyes grew wider, kind of in a fascinated but also shocked expression.

"I always get my way," spoke Aaron while gritting his teeth; with anger in his eyes which were now fixated on Eva.

Caleb took a step down the stairs to come to Eva's defense, and Pogue followed suit; Tyler and Reid even shoved some of Aaron's friends out of their way. But Eva put her hand up to stop them from moving any further. Her eyes which were focused on Tyler and Reid; who had even shoved Kiera out of the way. Her eyes had now met Aaron's and became fixated, with still shock in her eyes.

Eva looked at Aaron and spoke, quite sweetly, "Not this time." And she griped his arm and put him in and arm lock in a quick second. Now, standing behind Aaron and still holding him in an arm lock, she leaned close to his ear and spoke, with anger and determination in her voice, "Never, ever touch me again. Understand?"

Aaron winced and nodded as Eva released him. Aaron walked off, once again, humiliated. He decided to move on to another girl in the room with Kiera and his boys treading right behind him. Eva turned to the Ipswich boys, who now had shock come across their face. Eva raised her eyebrow, wondering what they were shocked about. Reid read the expression on her face and openly said, "Holy shit. That was awesome, first of all, no girl ever talks to Aaron like that and second, that arm lock move was…unexpected."

"Thanks I guess,' she smiled, "I don't know, it just…happened."

Reid, who once seemed interested in what Eva was saying, turned around and had spotted a fit girl, with a super short miniskirt. He turned to the guys and Eva and said, "Time to make my move. See ya later. Oh, Eva, Nicky's tomorrow at 8:30-ish." Then he left, almost running after the girl.

Caleb then took a look at his watch and with astonishment said, "Pogue, we have to go pick up the girls. Sarah said she would be home by now-"

"And Kate said that her parents would be dropping her off at the dorms by now," interrupted Pogue.

Caleb and Pogue walked off the stairs said a quick goodbye to Tyler and Eva; and with that, Caleb and Pogue were gone out the door.

Tyler and Eva stood there, in awkward silence until Eva said, "So…who's Nicky?"

Tyler, who hadn't spoken a word to Eva since telling her his name spoke, "It's this really awesome bar that we go to, it has foosball, pool table, music and food."

Eva smiled, "Sounds interesting. I'll come."

Once again it grew quiet between them. Occasionally, Eva would take a sip from her drink and Tyler would scout around the room looking for Reid.

Then Eva said, "So, I heard that the Hummer outside is your car."

Tyler nodded. Again silence. He then felt someone grab his hand. Tyler looked up at Eva, and she had a small smile on her face.

"C'mon show me your car," she said, while dragging Tyler outside. They walked to the end of the extended driveway, gradually getting farther and farther away from the music and the lights.

They finally reached the end of the driveway and it was now darker because they were so far from the porch. Tyler took out the keys from his pocket and unlocked his car. Eva then let go of his hand and jumped into the passenger seat and closed the door. To be honest, Tyler had never had a girl in his car before; well, a girl that wasn't interested in Reid. Tyler sat in the front seat. Eva had turned one of the lights in the car. She placed her drink in the cup holder at the front. Eva then turned around to analyze the back seats of the Hummer. She had a huge smile on her face.

"This is…amazing. I absolutely love your car," Eva spoke, as she touched Tyler's hand, "My parents bought me a car too, it was kind of a don't come back present. A bribe to keep me out of their hair; but my car isn't as nice as this one. Sheesh".

She rested her head on the passenger car seat, and just stared at Tyler. Tyler was still admiring his car's interior and then finally realized that Eva had started looking at him. Tyler didn't know what to do next. He wasn't sure what was going through her head, but he was quite fascinated by what she was thinking.

"You have really nice eyes. They're so blue," Eva said smiling.

Tyler was caught off guard, he is always shy and awkward around girls was really confused. Normally he would watch girls compliment Reid or even watch Reid hit on girls. But he was always the single one, the shy one.

Before Tyler could say anything, Reid had made his way down the driveway to Tyler's car. Reid then opened the passenger's seat and was shocked to see Eva.

"Eva! Hey. I thought you were back at the house. Um, baby boy, I have something to do at the dorm, can you drop me off?" spoke Reid.

Eva smiled a little smile and replied, "Nope, I've been here with Tyler. Just…hanging out," she then looked at Tyler and continued, "I should be going, to check on the party and such. See you guys at Nicky's."

Eva then got out of the car, and with that, Tyler had started the car and had left Andrew's party.

"Why are you leaving so early? What is so important that Reid Garwin has to rush to the dorms?" Tyler replied confused and with sarcasm.

"It got boring, the girl I was hitting on was more interested in Aaron…quite surprising actually," spoke Reid with a sense of defeat in his voice. Tyler laughed.

"So you really want to go back to the dorms?" Tyler asked, not sure if Reid was joking or not.

"Ya man. That totally killed my game tonight. I don't know, I just don't feel like going out tonight. Besides, the party wasn't as great," spoke Reid, again with some defeat in his voice.

They finally reached the dorms. When Tyler dropped Reid at the dorms Reid turned around and asked, "So what's the deal with you and Eva? Anything 'magical' happen between you guys in the car?" he said winking.

"Not really," spoke Tyler, clearly lying, but not wanting to talk about the awkward moment they shared.

"Oh well, you can make your move tomorrow night at Nicky's. Besides, she's a total hottie. I would tap that. But, she seemed more interested in you," spoke Reid as he started walking up the stairs to the dorm entrance.

Tyler smiled as Reid left. Had Eva really been more interested in him over Reid? If so, that would be the first ever for Tyler. Maybe Tyler would make a move on her tomorrow night. Not a chance, Tyler thought. Tyler was too much of a timid guy to ever pursue a girl. Whatever, he shook off the idea and cranked the music as he left the dorm driveway and went home.
