Chapter 2: Cari's POV

After helping me unpack, Supria and me started our beautifying regime. "So what more can I learn about you?" asked Supria who seemed truly interested in my life story.

"Well I was born and raised in the Upper East Side in Manhattan. My parents are both lawyers and I have the most amazing boyfriend named Michael," I explained while shoving a picture of her and Michael to Supria. "Ya'll are absolutely adorable!" "Thanks."

We finished getting ready and we definitely looked ready to party. She had one a cute mini sundress and with some heels and I had on a denim mini skirt and a black top which Supria found with my black Converses. I usually didn't wear it because of the plunging neckline.

As we were riding in Supria's car to the party she asked me if I had met anyone else at Spencer since I had gotten here. "Yea. I met a guy named Reid Garwin and he –" she cut me off with a gasp. "OH MY GOD! You met Reid Garwin. He might be crazy sexy but he is the Spencer Academy Playboy." "Well thanks for letting me know, but you don't have to worry about me I'm still madly in love with Michael," I answered her which was met with awws and coos.

When we got to the Dells it was already a pretty hopping party. I was just looking around trying to get a good feel for the type of kids that went to Spencer when Supria pointed out a nice looking guy with a really stuck-up looking girl on his arm that was in my line of vision, "That is Aaron Abbott and that girl next to him is named Kira. They are both horrible jerks or as Reid likes to call them 'fuckfaces'. Oh and here come the 'Sons of Ipswich'". "Who are the 'Sons of Ipswich'?" I asked wondering if it was like a boy band or something.

When I turned and looked the way Supria was pointing I saw that familiar shaggy blonde hair and striking blue eyes. I also noticed how three other very, very attractive guys surrounded him, though not as attractive as him in my eyes. "The 'Sons of Ipswich' are the boys who are descendants from the original families of the town during the Salem Witch Trials," Supria answered as if reciting from a book. After watching my face for a while she added, "Yea they are also pretty damn good looking."

When Reid saw me he gave a little wave and I saw him ask the other guys something and they started to walk my way. Automatically without thinking I asked Supria, "Do I have something in my teeth? Is my hair alright?" "Remember Michael?" Supria teased me back.

When the boys reached us they all greeted Supria with a hug and I noticed that she and one the boys with brown hair lingered a little while on their hug. Reid then went into all of the introductions that had to be made, "CariAnne this is Caleb, Pogue, and Tyler (the one who lingered on his hug with Supria, I made a mental note)." "It's nice to meet you all. You can call me Cari if you like."

The party was such a blast but since I hadn't eaten that much earlier the four beers were definitely starting to get to me. As I was walking away from the ice chest I started stumble and almost fell on the ground when a hand reached down and got me. "Hi I'm Chase or you can call me your knight in shining armor if you would prefer," he said with a smirk as he pulled me up. As he pulled me up I again stumbled but this time into his chest, which was nicely toned.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry that I cannot stay on my feet. I guess I had a little more to drink than I remember," I said into his chest. For some reason I had this feeling that a pair of eyes were burning into my back.

"That usually happens when you drink – forgetting what you had, that is," Chase answered as he instinctually rubbed my back with a little laugh in his voice.

Did you forget all about your wonderful Michael in Manhattan, a voice screamed inside my head.

"Well thanks so much from saving me from the evil mud I was about to fall into but I better be off and find my roommate, she's my ride back to the dorms," I told him with a blush starting to form on my cheeks. "Do you think I could hitch a ride back to the dorms with you? I took the bus here and I'm not sure if it'll be really sketch or not," he asked before I had a chance to walk away. "Yea sure, no problem!"

As Chase and me were looking for Supria we ran into Reid. "Hey sexy!" I said without any filter on my mouth because off my buzz then. He just smirked and answered, "Well I can definitely show you more of my sexy body when we get back to the dorms." "I somehow don't think that is necessary," Chase answered to the naughty conversation that was definitely about to get started. Reid was about to answer him when the DJ cut him off warning all of the partygoers about the police who were on the way.

Just at that moment Supria found us and we ran to her car, during which I introduced both her and Chase to one another and told her he was hitching a ride with us. When we reached Sarah's car we all jumped in as quickly as we could only to find the car would not start.

"FUCK!" Supria said and banged her hands on the steering wheel, as police sirens got closer. All of sudden out of nowhere Reid was in front of her car asking her to pop the hood. He looked so sexy in the moonlight and I think he just caught me checking him out. If he is the playboy Supria said he was then I will never live that down, my sobering thoughts told me.

After a whole 5 seconds passed Reid told us to start the car and like magic it started. I mouthed thank you to him and he winked back sending shivers up my spine. We raced to the dorm to evade any cops that were coming to break up the party.

When we got back to the dorm we found out that Chase was on our floor and actually just next door. Something about that information made me a little uncomfortable but I just shook it off and told him good night and also thanked him for helping me when I was tipsy.

"Well now that you know how it is to party at the Dells, you need to go to Nicky's with me one night," Supria told me as we undressed for bed and was getting comfy. "What's Nicky's?" I asked. "It's just the local bar and hopefully that night won't end with cops," she answered and we both fell asleep after a little giggle fest.
