Chapter One: Time to Party

"Well if it isn't my favorite six," Nicky says as he puts two Sprite and four Cokes on the counter.

"Hey Nicky, how was your summer," Nat asks accepting a Sprite.

"Boring without all of my favorite High School kids here," he says working away.

"Is Abbott here," Reid asks looking around.

"Not that I know of, and no trouble tonight," he says looking at him.

"Please Nicky that is impossible for Reid to accomplish," Nat says sipping her Sprite as it was only her and Reid now at the bar.

"It is not," he says looking at her.

"Fine, if you can manage to not get into one fight with Aaron, even if he starts it, I'll," she starts.

"You'll what," he asks looking at her.

"I'm not going to tell you, you are going to have to wait and see," she says sipping her drink.

Reid takes the op before placing it on the counter before turning to Nicky," what these Nicky," before dragging her on to the dance floor.

"What are you doing," she asks him as they reach the ares of the bar where everyone was dancing.

"I wanted to dance and I didn't want you to say no," he says putting his hands on her hips.

"Reid what are you thinking," she asks looking at him.

"I am thinking that I have missed you all summer," he says as they dance.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"I was also thinking that I was very stupid and made a terrible mistake last June."

"Oh no, oh no you are not going to go back to that same old speech. No way, no how."

"I don't want that either, I miss our phone calls, e-mails, texts, web cam conversations. I miss you and me, I want us together, all the time, full time and not apart."

"You have said this before and I believed you and than you broke my heart for the third time in ten months."

"I know but I'm being serious, tell me what I need to do to make you believe it this time."

"The Fall Duke Basketball Tournament for Varsity is in two weeks, we will see how you do there, that is if you decide to tag along," she says before leaving him on the dance floor.

He looks around before walking over to the guys as she walks over to a group of girls.

"Who wants to tell me what the Fall Duke Basketball Tournament for Varsity is and why it seems like a test," he says sitting down at the table.

"Her brother got moved up to Varsity this year, so he'll be there, with probably her father and grandfather," Caleb says looking at him.

"It's the earliest scouting for Duke University's Basketball team and fully ride sports scholarships," Tyler says looking at him.

"So the three of the most important men of her life will be there," Reid asks looking at them.

"Definitely a test of commitment," Pogue says looking over at the girls.

"I don't think he is going to go, he doesn't have the balls," Kate says looking at her.

"Even if he did they would destroy him. Now Nathan maybe the star attention of the family but no one is good enough for Natasha Mae Scott," Nat says.

"Not to mention he knows nothing about basketball," Kate adds.

"Doesn't stand a chance with those three," Nat says smirking.
