Tyler quietly shut his door and slumped against it. He was so nervous. He had told Cam that he was going to Nicky's with Caleb, Reid, and Pogue, but now he wasn't even sure if they were going. And if they weren't he was going to be so embarrassed when she showed up and he was alone.
Retrieving his cell from his pocket, he set it on the charger, and sighed. He didn't even have anything to wear.
"Oh my god I sound like a little girl," he whispered to himself. What do I care anyways, he thought. She probably only accepted my invitation to be nice.
Stripping down to his boxers, he set his alarm for 9:30. That was when he usually left for Nicky's. Pulling the covers over his head, he quietly drifted to sleep, thinking about Cam.
Tyler sat up abruptly at the sound of whispers outside of his dorm room. Looking at his clock, he found it to be 11 minutes passed 9. Curfew was in effect. Silently creeping up to his door, he listened intently at the whispered conversation.
"Remember, we run in and grab him. Cause you know he's going to fight us on this." An oddly familiar voice whispered.
Another voice whispered "On three….one….two…."
The stranger never got to three because on two, Tyler flung the door opened and released his power he had been building up. It sent 3 boys flying into the wall across the hall. Horror flashed across Tyler's face as he realized he had just flung Caleb, Reid, and Pogue into a wall.
"Holy shit man!" Reid groaned, standing on shaking legs.
"Damn!" Pogue yelled. "Never knew you had it in you." He slowly stood up and slapped Tyler on the back. "I guess you're not as innocent as we thought."
"What the hell are you guys trying to pull off? Trying to break in? All you had to do is knock." Tyler said, crossing his arms across his chest, trying to put on his best intimidating look. It never worked because Tyler had the whole innocent look. Unlike his friends, he was shy and always tried to avoid danger.
"Well, you see, the thing is…" Pogue began but was cut off by Tyler's look of fury.
"My, my, my, what has got you in the foulest of moods?" Reid smirked.
"Nothing, except I probably just blew my only chance at this girl." Tyler responded and Caleb's eyebrow rose in curiosity.
"Oh really…" Reid began. "Well what do you say we all go have a drink down at Nicky's…"That was when Reid first seemed to notice what Tyler was wearing.
"After you get dressed, of course." They all laughed when they realized he was wearing red boxers with pink hearts on them.
"Ha ha, very funny. I just so happen to care about the presents I get." Tyler said and slammed the door with a muffled "I'll be right back."
