Disclaimer: Honestly, if I owned anything, I'd be spending money, not wishing I had some. I OWN NOTHING. Now that that's all cleared up, on with the story!

This is more of an action/adventure fic, not a romance. However, if you readers decide you would like it to be a romance, then I might be able to work something in. Read and Review!

Just Let Go

"Mr. Garwin!" Reid's head snapped up as the professor called his name. He had fallen asleep during History class again. He looked over to Tyler who simply shook his head and smirked. "Would you care to answer the question?" Reid stared blankly at the professor.

"Um, no thanks," he replied smugly. Caleb, who was sitting a few rows away from Reid and Tyler, sighed.

"Well then thank you for volunteering, Mr. Garwin," the professor said just as smugly as he closed the book on his desk.

"Volunteering? For what?"

"To help our new student get adjusted," he said flatly as the bell signaled the end of the day and the students all got up to leave. Reid walked behind Caleb down to the front of the class towards the professor. "Mr. Garwin, you've fallen asleep in class almost every day this week. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"

Reid shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's a good thing it's Friday?" Tyler laughed, and even Caleb chuckled a little before walking out the door, but the professor was not impressed.

"Our new student's name is Sam and you will meet her at the front gate at 6pm tonight. And you, Mr. Sims, can join him." Tyler rolled his eyes at Reid. His friend always seemed to get him into some kind of trouble. The professor handed Reid a sheet of paper and motioned for them to leave.

"Nice going, dude," said Tyler as they walked down out. Reid just shrugged his shoulders again.

"We going to Nicky's tonight?" Caleb asked when the other two walked out the door. He didn't need to, since he already knew the answer.

"Duh," said Pogue, who had just walked up behind them. "I've hardly seen Kate all week. I need some TLC." The rest of them rolled their eyes. Caleb said goodbye, claiming he had a late lunch date with Sarah, and Pogue went off to get his bike fixed…again.

"Hey, don't forget we've got to go get that Sam girl at six," said Tyler as Reid walked away towards the dorms. Tyler turned the other way and went to his locker and stuffed the rest of his book inside.

Reid groaned as he unlocked the door and plopped down on his bed. The last thing he wanted to do on a Friday was play tour guide. Although, he had to admit, he was a little interested in meeting this "fresh meat." Hell, maybe he'd get her to go to Nicky's if she was hot.

The car door slammed shut as Sam climbed out of the taxi. The driver got out of the front seat and opened the trunk to help the young lady with her bags. She had just arrived at Spencer Academy, dreading every step she took towards the main building. It was just after 6pm on the late September evening. In her hand Sam held a letter from Spencer Academy that she had received the week before. It was a letter informing her that there would be someone waiting for her to show her around Spencer.

Sam looked around. From the front door of what she guessed to be the main building came two boys, a blond and a brunet. 'That must be the welcoming committee,' she thought. She paid the taxi driver who promptly drove off, grabbed one of her bags, and waited for the two boys to help her. There was no way she was going to lug all her luggage by herself.

Reid and Tyler were both checking Sam out. She wasn't too tall, only about 5'4. She was slender, but not too thin. Her wavy brown hair went down just past her shoulders with short bangs going off to one side almost covering one of her emerald green eyes. She smiled at the two of them as they approached.

"Hey, I'm Sam," she said sweetly.

"I'm Tyler, this is Reid," said the brunet, pointing to his friend. "Welcome to Spencer." He held out his hand and Sam shook it, and then Reid's next.

"Thanks. This place sure is big. Do I get a map or something?" Reid laughed as he grabbed the biggest bag.

"Don't worry, that's what we're here for babe." He said. Tyler picked up the rest of her luggage and they led her towards the dorms. "What room are you in?" Reid asked.

"Um," Sam shifted through the bag she was carrying for another piece of paper that had all of her school information on it. "216" she said.

"That's right across the hall from Sarah and Kate," Tyler noted. Sam gave him a questioning look. "They're friends of ours," he said, answering her unasked question. They brought all of the bags up to Sam's room and she unlocked the door to find the room empty.

"Guess my roommate's not here. Oh well, gives me time to unpack," she said. "Thanks for the help guys." Reid and Tyler put Sam's luggage on the empty side of the room and stood back.

"Unpack tomorrow," said Reid. "Come to Nicky's with us."

"What's Nicky's?" She asked. Reid and Tyler smirked.
