Opportunities For Eternity
Chapter One : Arrivals with revelations
Looking up at the tall building that was Spencer Academy, Ree Kacey shook her head; her body leant against her black Honda Civic. She knew prep schools, down to the very last detail. They were all the same, filled with stuck up rich kids, deluded into believing they were better then everyone else. She rolled her eyes as she laughed lightly. Ironic that she was one of those kids, well used to be, until everything that happened last year. She shook her head to clear the memories, knowing it was no good to be thinking about them. She had already decided this was what she needed, a fresh start.
Sighing, she took in one last breath and made her way up the steps, and to her new beginning.
Glancing around the crowded corridor she frowned, this was not what she had been expecting. At her old school, the students definitely did not mill around the corridors gawping at the new kid. Raising her chin, she placed a smile on her face.
At least she could look confident even if she didn't feel it. Pulling a piece of brunette hair behind her ear, she glanced around the hallway. If Spencer was anything like Red Ridge the office should be right near the front doors. Giving a quiet triumphant 'yes' she stared up at the office doors, smile still plastered on her face as placed her hand on the door and entered.
"You must be Miss Kacey," the petite secretary droned mechanically,
"This is your schedule and spare key to your dorm room."
Ree nodded her head, feeling slightly overwhelmed as the woman thrust her schedule and keys into her hands. She looked down at them with a raised brow, feeling more overwhelmed then she had in her 17 years of being alive. Staring at the woman in front of her, who by now had gone back to staring at the computer, she shook her head and turned. So much for showing the new kid the ropes, she thought before exiting the office. Closing the door softly behind her, she silently prayed that she never would have to go back there again.
Studying her time table, she walked haphazardly down the hall, looking up occasionally.
"Hey! You're Gabriel right?" a deep voice asked. Startled, she looked up from her time table, her eyes landing onto two pairs of chocolate orbs. Staring from one man to the other, her brow raised in questioning. The taller of the two had long hair, while the other was short and styled like most of the male population in the school.
"Err… yeah?" She said nodding her head numbly, no one tended to call her that, she had gone by Ree for so long that any other name sounded foreign to her ears. She looked from one to the other as she awkwardly waited for one of them to speak.
"Mrs. M. didn't tell you, did she?" the one with the long hair said with a chuckle. Ree shook her head meekly, not entirely sure what he was talking about.
"I'm sorry, let us introduce ourselves. I'm Caleb Danvers and this is my friend Pogue Parry. You should have been informed that as a new student, you are assigned a guide for a couple of days. You know, to show you around the school and make sure you're at home here," he explained smoothly. Ree raised her head, nodding slowly as she registered all of this new information.
"Right," she said with a sigh of relief looking down at her schedule once more, a really good idea, considering she had no idea where she was going.
"Let me take a look," Pogue said pulling the schedule out of her hands, as she watched Caleb lean over and examine it himself.
"Your first three lessons are with both of us, then you have Math with Caleb and your last one with the both of us again," Ree nodded her head; at least she would know two people in this school, even if they were being forced to be kind to her.
"Well looks like I'm stuck with you guys," she observed. Caleb leant back over and nodded his head.
"Looks like," he replied with a quick chuckle. Ree nodded her head, maybe this year wasn't going to be as bad as she thought. Taking back her schedule from Pogue she looked down at it one last time. She frowned as she finished her quick look. Taking her last classes into consideration, she took everything back she just thought, this year was going to suck.
"You okay?" Pogue questioned seeing that she had made know attempt to follow them to their first lesson. Ree lifted her gaze from her schedule, her eyes slightly clouded as she forced herself to calm down. Breaking down into hysterics was not a good thing, not on the first day of a new school.
"Yeah, there's just been a mistake with my schedule is all," she reassured. Caleb furrowed his brow, knowing that he had checked her schedule and it was seemingly perfect.
"Let me take a look," he said as he held his hand out for the paper. Ree willingly handed the piece of paper over to him, and waited for his response. Caleb furrowed his brow in confusion as he rechecked the classes, everything seemed fine to him, noting that she had taken up swim as one of her electives as well as art.
"It was agreed that I wouldn't have swim, " she said, nodding down at her last lesson of the day. Caleb raised his brow, turning his gaze to Pogue as they both shrugged their shoulders in confusion, it was an elective after all, something that you yourself chose and not the school.
"I err, there was an accident when I was younger, guess my mum thinks its time for me to get back into the water, guess she went over my head."
she let them know, while biting her lip. It was her first day at a new school and she was already lying to people she could quite possibly become friends with, well half lying any way. Both Pogue and Caleb nodded their heads in understanding and turned to each other, it was quite apparent that she wasn't ready, no matter how much her mother seemed to think she was, all you had to do was look at her and see the apprehension in her eyes to see that.
"How bout I have a word with coach, if your not into it, he should let you change to another elective"
Ree smiled up at Caleb with a smile of relief, she took back her schedule and folded it neatly before stuffing it into the front pocket of her bag, her gaze flicked between Caleb and Pogue.
"Thanks" She smiled back over at Caleb and he nodded his head, offering a quick no problem, there was no point forcing someone to do what they wasn't ready to do.
"You good to go?" Pogue questioned. Ree smiled over at him and fell into stride with them as they led her to her first class in the new school. Her mind wandered to the fact that at the end of the day she was going to have to walk into the natatorium.
Reid plonked himself down into the vacant chair next to his best friend Tyler, smiling tidily at him as he rested his head on the table in front of him. Tyler shook his head in amusement. It was always the same with Reid; he only ever came to lessons because he actually had to in order to graduate. Otherwise, Tyler was sure he would just sit in his room, or be somewhere that would allow him to get laid.
"Caleb and Pogue seemed to have made friends with the new student," Reid smirked. Lifting his head, he turned it so he was facing their so called 'leader' and best friend. Sure enough, a brunette was sitting between them. Scoffing, Reid shook his head.
"Kate's going to love that," Tyler said as he cocked his head to the side. As much as Pogue got jealous over the amount of time Kate spent with guys, she was just as bad if not worse. But Pogue's fears were almost always justified. Tyler really didn't no why Pogue stayed with her when he knew, just like half of Spencer, that she slept around.
The girl turned her head at the two of them, obviously Caleb or Pogue had pointed them out. She smiled slightly, nodding her head as she took in their features. After a few seconds, she turned her attention back to the two eldest sons of Ipswich.
"I'll be damned," Reid sneered. Tyler rolled his eyes, it had taken Reid longer then he had thought.
"You know you could try and not hit on all the new transfers, some of them are yet to be tainted," Tyler said disapprovingly. Reid smirked over at his friend, his blue eyes lightening up with mischief.
"That's where I come in baby boy! Who better to be tainted by then me?" Reid raised his brow confidently. Tyler wasn't able to hold in his laugh as he rolled his eyes. Sometimes he really wondered where Reid got his big headed nature from. But he supposed that's why all the woman liked him, he had to be doing something right, right? After all virtually all the female population had been with him.
"And for once baby boy, I wasn't checking her out. Although she is something, but she's a little too innocent for my liking. But a night's a night." Tyler cut him off, really not wanting to listen to another tirade of how amazing a night with him was.
"Ha! You weren't checking her out!" he laughed heartily, "I find that very hard to believe!" But Tyler had to admit that the girl was hot, in an innocent 'I don't know how hot I am' way. Her hair was currently sitting in soft waves around her face, pulled away by a cute red headband.
"You're telling me that you don't know who that is?" Reid rolled his eyes at Tyler as he spoke. Tyler turned his attention back to Reid shaking his head. Turning back to the new girl, he tried to remember if he had seen her somewhere before, maybe at one of Reid's party's or maybe even Nicky's.
"No, I really don't," he admitted truthfully, "But I'm sure you're about to elaborate" Reid smirked and nodded his head.
"That's Ree Kacey, she's the captain, or I guess was the captain of Red Ridges swim team."
Tyler furrowed his brow, slightly shocked as he turned back to her. And even though he could only see the back of her head, he began to think, he still remembered her face, she was beautiful in a plain kind of way, but Reid was right, that was defiantly Red Ridges captain, well he guessed with her being at Spencer ex Captain.
"Then what is she doing here? I mean Red Ridge's girls team beats Spencer every year. Why transfer to the loosing team?" Reid laughed, slightly shocked that he obviously didn't keep tabs on the outside world or lead a healthy social life. Though, he still managed to get girls, even if they were few and far between. Reid sometimes wondered just why he was friends with him. Shaking his head, he smiled. He wouldn't trade him in for anything. Tyler was his brother, his best friend, and his confidant. He was the one person who kept him out of trouble, and had his back, unlike Caleb.
"Guess she couldn't handle school after what happened. I know for sure I wouldn't be able to," he admitted. Intrigued, Tyler turned to Reid, raising his brow in silent question.
"She was driving the car that killed her entire team," Reid quietly confessed. Tyler raised his brow in silent disbelief.
"She was the only survivor."
