chapter 1

Reids P.O.V

My name is Reid. Reid Garwin. I am one of the infamous sons of Ipswich, there are four of us although we aren't related we are as close as any siblings would be. There's Caleb Danvers who is the oldest of the four of us he's tall and has dark brown hair and quite tan. Pogue parry is the next oldest with his tall muscular frame and longish brown hair. Then there's me with my shaggy blonde hair and blue eyes all the girls think I'm to die for and if I'm honest I love the attention. Tyler Simms is the youngest of us and is often referred to as baby boy his short brown hair and kind warm brown eyes make up his friendly persona.

Its Monday morning and I wake to the sound of Tyler calling my name telling me that yet again I'm late getting up.

"Reid. Come on get up man you're gonna be late. Were supposed to be meeting up with the guys in like 20 minutes."

"Mhmmm" I grumbled as I was drifting back to sleep but my roommate had other ideas as a pillow hit me in the head.

"Reid this is the last time I'm gonna tell you get up or I'm gonna kick your ass and then Caleb will give you the all mighty lecture on being on time and actually remembering about others that have to wait for you. Again."

"Alright I'm up. I'm up. Geez give a guy a break would you" I said as I headed towards the bathroom to grab a quick shower before heading out. When I got out of the shower Tyler was pacing back and forth waiting for me.

"Nervous about something baby boy" I asked him smirking knowing the reason. Tyler hated to be late he was always on time for everything.

"No. I mean I just don't want to be late meeting up with Pogue and Caleb. I don't know how you can always be late on a morning anyway. Pogue is always here on time and he lives in an apartment across town" Tyler stated.

"Spare me the lecture and let's go" I sighed exasperated.

On the way to the cafeteria I slipped on my trademark black fingerless gloves and black beanie. When we got there Caleb was already there waiting for everyone and smiled once he noticed us walking to him.

"Hey there. I'm actually surprised that you two actually got here before Pogue did." Caleb said this while trying to suppress the smile creeping onto his face.

"Some of us had a sleepy start this morning and was reluctant to get out of bed." Tyler told Caleb.

I walked over to the coffee machine and got a coffee to try and wake me up enough for this morning's class.

"Hey where is Pogue anyway. He's normally here by now." I asked curiosity getting the better of me.

"He's helping the new girl carry her boxes to her room he'll be about 10 minutes." Caleb informed us.

We talked a little about Pogue helping out some random girl when he cam into the cafeteria and sat down beside Caleb.

"So...?" I pressed.

"So what?" Pogue asked looking towards me.

"So what's up with new girl? Come on man dish it out. What's she like?" I asked him.

"Nice" he said "she's really nice but kinda shy. I invited her to Nicky's to tonight and to eat lunch with us today" he told us all.

"Since when do you talk to new girls let alone invite them to hang out with us?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah and what will Kate think when she finds out your making new lady friends" I asked him waggling my eyebrows suggestively as an answer Pogue just punched me roughly in the arm.

The bell rang and we all went off to maths.
