: P I wish though... I wouldn't mind meeting any of the four hotties!
Hope you like the story. I am going to try to write a sequel to this if you guys like it and review.
It hardly seems worth it now. Getting close to someone and then having them rip your heart out. It seemed so easy too, he was like some god; having powers to persuade and charm you right into his arms. I learned the hard way. Like most of the girls that fell into the trap I did too, like some bird that was being preyed by a predator.
For two months he worked his charm and in the end of it he had me where he wanted me, in his bed.
It wasn't like I didn't know what was being said about him or what I was getting myself into. I knew, but I choose to just go through all the emotion that was over taking my body. I wanted him to like me, no I wanted him to love me, want me. Just like I wanted him, needed him. Or so I thought.
"Wouldn't it be nice to be liked by one of the Ipswich sons?" Said Amy dreamy, as she came up to me by my locker while staring at the boys that just walked by. Just like most of the females at Spenser Academy, Amy was always talking, gossiping about the boys. Everyone couldn't get enough of them. Sure I thought they were incredibly good looking, smart and charming. It didn't hurt that they were also kind and friendly towards everyone, unless you were a friend of their arch rival Aaron Abbot.
Unlike Amy who always lived in Ipswich, I moved here in ninth grade from Washington. Over the years I had come to acknowledge, accept and love Ipswich as my hometown.
While Amy had blonde-brownish hair that went to her shoulders, blue eyes that looked like the bottom of the ocean and legs that could go on for days; I had golden brown hair, warm captivating green eyes and a great smile. I also was short, I use to hate it; not being able to reach the top shelf, but I guess that's why you have tall friends to help you with getting the water cup.
"Sure Amy," I stated. "We should probably get going if we want to make it to English in time." We made our way to English; personally I think I could do without it. The only good reason on going there was to be seated so close to Reid. Amy always teased me on how much I liked him and over the years it was only becoming worse. When ever he would make a sarcastic comment on what we were learning that day or making fun of Tyler while giving his famous smirk, I would always get huge butterflies in my belly and get giddy like a young school girl. I couldn't help it. He was just so interesting and handsome.
It didn't help that he knew that every girl wanted him. His pride was always on the line, he would ask out every girl he thought were hot just to get another notch on his bed post. He was always kind about it though, more subtle about it unlike Aaron. Aaron was always demanding and wouldn't take no for an answer, always use corny pick-up lines and hoping you would fall for him. Reid would always tell you the truth, if he thought you were smart, caring or hot he would tell you. And deep down he knew that that was what you wanted to hear.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your seats and opening your textbook to page 394." Mr. Contours said. "I would also like to point out that we will be having a quiz about Shakespeare on Friday!" Professor Contours boomed out. He was a short hard nosed kind of man that always told it how it was or going to be. He didn't like change or disruptive kids. It was a wonder why Professor Contours like and tolerated Reid. Even as he would drone on through the lecture you could always see him trying to hide his smile and smirk to something Reid would say.
As I slipped into my seat for the second time that week, I couldn't help but wonder if Reid ever thought about me. He sat in front of me right by Tyler, while Pogue and Caleb sat right behind me. I could always catch a few things that they were talking or whispering about and on occasion I would be asked to pass a note back and forth to both set of boys. Secretly I adored these moments, hoping every day that one of them would ask me to pass a note or to tell something to the others.
Half the class had already passed by the time I knew it. I lost track of time, always did in this class. I really did like English, but my thoughts always strayed to the sons of Ipswich especially Reid. I was interrupted from my thoughts as my name was called to the front of the room by Mr. Contours.
"Ms. Sampson," Mr. Contours said again. "Please come down, it looks like it's your birthday today!" Without even realizing that my name was called I looked up and everyone was looking up at me including Reid and Tyler. I could feel my classmates' eyes burning into my skin. Unconsciously I became beet red from embarrassment, and if even that wasn't enough Reid had to make a sarcastic comment.
"Oh, little Mara has grown up, we are going to have to beat off all the old men in their wheel chairs!" Reid commented, while everyone roared with laughter and I becoming even more embarrassed.
When I was walking down the isle I became aware of what he had said. My name, He knows my name!!! Sweet Jesus! He knows my name, this is the best birthday I have ever had! But not only does he know my name, he knows when my birthday is!
A/N: Aww until next time. You will just have to wait until then to see if Reid actually talks to Mara.
