There stood Tyler Simms; the youngest of the Sons of Ipswich. He was standing next to his aged father and worried looking mother. They waited in the parking lot of Spencer's Academy waiting the arrival of his sister. Taylor Simms use to attend a girl's prep school until an unfortunate fire forced her parents to move her to Spencer's.
Taylor brought her pearl colored Chrysler 300 to a stop in the parking lot of Spencer's. She slowly stepped out being greeted by her mother and father. It had been four years since she had seen set foot in Ipswich. Once her brother and his friends had developed their powers she was sent away only seeing her parents when they drove up to see her. She had golden brown hair just a shade darker then blonde. Her blue eyes shinned in the sun.
"Honey it's so good to see you." Taylor's mom said pulling her into an awkward hug.
"Hey, mother." Taylor said softly.
"I hope the drive wasn't too bad." Her mother offered.
"It was fine." Taylor said. She always felt her mother pushed her away believing that her brother and his powers deserved more attention.
"Well since you're here, I guess we should let you settle in." Taylor's father offered hugging her.
"Yeah, I have my schedule and dorm assignment already." Taylor smiled fakely as she flipped her over sized sunglasses on to her head. That's when her eyes made contact with her twin brother. They had the same blue eyes and golden brown hair. But Taylor was slightly shorter. Her slightly tanned colored skin shinned in the high sun and her round pink lips cracked a smile.
"Well if it isn't my big brother?" Taylor smiled.
"Hey Taylor." Tyler smiled hugging her. They had been extremely close growing up and he had never really forgiven his parents for sending her away. Tyler visited Taylor at least three times a year without his parent's knowledge. And Taylor always drove back to Ipswich at Easter to spend some time with Tyler. Other then that she was either at her old prep school or staying with her mothers youngest sister and her four young children.
"Well now that you're here and safe I guess we can go." Taylor's mom said walking off towards her car.
"Shall I escort you to your dorm?" Tyler asked offering her his arm.
"As long as you grab a bag." Taylor smiled. She walked to the back of her car and opened the trunk. Inside the trunk where three large suitcases and in her back seat was three large moving boxes. Tyler reached down and grabbed two of the bags while Taylor grabbed the other.
"So how was your first month back at the Lovely Spencer Academy?" Taylor mocked in a British accent.
"The usual. You know party at the Dells and bar fights; defeating an evil fifth blood line. Nothing out of the ordinary." Tyler replied smirking as he led the way to her dorm room. He told Taylor all about Chase in their weekly phone calls. Taylor slid the dorm key that was sent to her into the door knob. She unlocked the door and pushed it open. Luckily since she was a late transfer she was able to score a single room.
"Well look who has their own private party pad." Tyler smiled.
"Well being tardy dose have its perks." Taylor smiled. "So when dose class start around here?"
"In about ten minutes so I would get changed if I were you." Tyler answered.
"Fine, if I must." Taylor said sounding dramatic. He grabbed the Spencer uniform out of her bag and went into the bathroom to change. Two minutes later she emerged. Her hair was still in a messy pony tail and she had no make up on except eyeliner and mascara. Truthfully she didn't need make up. Her skin was blemish free and her complexion was flawless.
"Hey, hey button your shirt." Tyler said covering his eyes and turning away.
Taylor walked out of the bathroom with the last couple of buttons undone on her shirt. Tyler could see the top part of her lacy bra sticking out.
"Damn, they keep coming undone." Taylor moaned buttoning them again.
"Just make sure they stay closed I don't want to see my sisters…" Tyler trailed off before he could finish.
"Breast?" Taylor finished his sentence.
"No, no my sister dose not have …those." Tyler replied waving his hands in the air.
"Come on Tyler every girl has them." Taylor added slipping on her shoes.
"Well for now I'm still going to picture you as a five year old little girl with pig tails and lollipops." Tyler replied fallowing Taylor out of the dorm room. Taylor laughed as Tyler led her to her locker.
"Well, well if it isn't the littlest Simms." A strange voice echoed from behind Taylor. Taylor whipped around ready to smart off before realizing who it was.
"Pogue?" Taylor smiled in shocked.
"Hey Taylor." Pogue Parry smiled at her. Taylor reached up and gave him a hug.
"Wow you just get better looking every time I see you." Taylor joked.
"Well if I didn't have a girlfriend I would total be all over you." Pogue winked.
"Dude that's my sister." Tyler cringed, slapping Pogue across the chest.
"It looks like the daughter of Ipswich has finally returned." Another voice rang from behind. Taylor turned to meet the intense eyes of Caleb Danvers.
"Caleb!" Taylor smiled hugging the tall dark and handsome boy.
"Oh this is Sarah, my girlfriend." Caleb motioned to the pretty blonde standing next to him,
"Hey." Sarah smiled holding her hand out to Taylor.
"Hey." Taylor replied taking the blondes hand. "I'm Tyler's sister."
"Oh. I didn't know Tyler had a sister." Sarah replied.
"Well I generally don't like to acknowledge her, but…" Tyler started to smart off but Taylor smacked the back of his head.
"I've been away at school for the past couple of years." Taylor informed her. "Due to a little fire I was sent back home."
"Well then welcome home." Sarah said.
"You know Caleb, I like this one." Taylor said pointing to Sarah.
"Tyler, where did you go this morning you where suppose to give me your British Lit notes." A blonde haired blue eyed boy yelled walking up to the group.
"Hey Reid aren't you going to say hi too little Miss Simms." Pogue said pushing Reid towards Taylor.
"Who is this?" Reid asked pointing at Taylor then turning towards his locker.
"Reid Garwin some things never change." Taylor said turning to her locker and closing it.
"Taylor?" Reid said as his jaw dropped.
"The one and only." Taylor shrugged.
"Woe you've… you…grown up." Reid stumbled. He was staring at Taylor as if she had put him in a trance.
"That's what teenagers tend to do."
"Well…it's… it's…." Reid stumbled some more.
"Wow Reid Garwin speechless." Pogue joked. "I thought I would never see the day."
"Come on we better get to class." Caleb said ushering to group. "What class do you have?"
"Um…British Lit." Taylor said reading her schedule.
"Great then your with the rest of us." Tyler said putting his arm around Taylor. Taylor allowed her brother to walk her into the class. She sat down on in between him and Pogue. Caleb and Sarah sat just in front of him and the girl who was introduced as Kate sat on the other side of Pogue. As the class dragged by Taylor noticed Reid lay his head on the desk and look over to her for several minutes.
Reid had grown to be extremely hot. His eyes where just as blue as hers. His blonde shaggy hair and posture made him come off as a bad boy with an attitude. Little did she know that Reid was thinking similar thoughts. He stared over at Taylor carefully not to be noticed by the other boys. She had really changes over the years. The last time Reid laid his eyes on Taylor she was lanky looking, but now she looked like a …women. He remembered the day her parents shipped her off to boarding school. It was shortly after Tyler had received his powers. Until that point Taylor had been like a sister to the boys. Each one was protective of her including Reid. Tyler refused to talk for a week after she left; his relationship with his parents was never the same.
The boys made it a tradition to visit Taylor every year before school started but the past two years Reid had other plans. But now he couldn't take his eyes off of her.
When the bell rang Reid was snatched out of his dream like state.
"Where too next? Tyler asked Taylor as she packed her bag.
"History with Hanson." Taylor replied.
"Good Reid has that class he can take you." Tyler said slapping Reid on the back.
"Gee can I really?" Reid mocked Tyler in a baby voice.
"Just watch out for her." Tyler said seriously to his best friend. Reid nodded his head towards the door and Taylor fallowed. Reid kept about three feet in between him and Taylor at all times.
"Well look what we have here." A cocky voice echoed from the side of Taylor. "Another new girl."
Taylor stopped as a hand came down on her hip. Before anyone could blink Taylor smacked the hand away.
"Wow, I like them feisty." The shaggy headed boy laughed shaking his freshly slapped hand.
"Aaron back off." Reid demanded pushing Aaron back away from Taylor.
"Why? I was just saying hello." Aaron winked at Taylor.
"Don't ever touch her." Reid demanded.
"Why is she yours?"
"Just don't touch her." Reid repeated pushing Aaron back again. Aaron looked like he was going to attack but Taylor quickly jumped in the middle.
"Let's just go to class." She said looking Reid in the eye. Reid stared intensely at Aaron popping his knuckles before finally looking at Taylor. He caught her eye just for a second then backed away. Reid never back away from a fight before now.
"Hey when you want a real man, give me a call." Aaron yelled to Taylor as she walked with Reid to the next class.
"When I see one I let you know." Taylor replied sarcastically at Aaron.
"I could handle myself." Reid said through clenched teeth.
"I know I just didn't want a fight on my first day." Taylor said taking a seat in the history class. "By the way…" Taylor reached out and grabbed Reid's arm as he tried to walk past. Reid paused and looked where Taylor's hand rested. "Thank you for standing up for me." Taylor said.
"My pleasure." Reid smirked giving a little bow.
"Now there's the smart ass Reid I know and love." Taylor commented.
"Just needed a little time to wake up." Reid smirked.
Taylor managed to make it thorough the rest of the school day with no fights. She spent lunch getting to know Kate and Sarah and catching up with the boys. After school Taylor worked on moving all of her stuff in to her room. With the assistance of Kate and Sarah Taylor's new room was set and organized in no time at all.
