Chapter Three: Showers

It was night by the time I finished unpacking, Amber had left the room to go the library but now she was back, and studying… again.

While I tucked my oversized sheets under my mattress I took quick glances at my new roomie. She hasn't said a word to me since I got here, besides when she mumbled she was going to go to the library. And I don't think she was even telling me that, I just overheard her saying it to herself.

"So…" I started as I lay my comforter over my bed. Another glance at her and she didn't even lift her gaze from her book. This was not how I expected a new girl friend would be; even the maids spoke more to me. "Are there any good places to eat around here?" I asked.

Silent seconds passed before I heard her speak. "I don't know really, I only eat in the cafeteria."

I almost gagged at the thought of eating cafeteria food. It was bad enough in public school, and I had gotten very used to fine dining. My brother and father ate nothing less than high quality. We even had our own personal chef.

Hearing the turn of her page I snapped back to our conversation. "Cool." I said. "What about if you wanna do something fun?" I put my pillows onto my bed and took a step back to see my work. So the comforter touched the floor on either sides of the bed, at least I'll have enough blanket.

"I spend most of my time in the library." She spoke flatly, still reading her book.

"Oh, that sounds…" My words fell short. "Fun." I then laughed trying to break some of the tension I accidently built up. Looking at Amber I realized that there was probably only tension for me, I don't think she even heard what I said last.

I decided that I would just brush my teeth and try to go to bed, I had a long day and I was wiped.

Walking into the bathroom I remember how there was no shower, sticking my head back out the door I looked at the, still reading, Amber.

"Hey, um, do you know where the shower is?" I asked.

This actually made her look up from her book. Her green eyes looked at me curiously through her glasses. "The shower?" She asked and I nodded, she didn't think I was being serious. "It's down the hall and to the left, then the first doors on your right."

"Down the hall?!" I asked and stepped out of the bathroom completely. She nodded. "Why would the showers be down the hall? I don't get it? Are we supposed to walk there and take a shower and then walk back, what about our shower stuff? What if something happens? Really, down the hall?" I ranted when I was surprised sometimes and I was definitely surprised now.

"Have you ever been to a private school?" I heard her ask something for once. I shook my head no.

"So you never lived in a dorm?" She questioned again.

I felt a blush come to my cheeks. "No, not really." I said looking down at my feet, I felt rather incompetent at the moment.

I heard a small giggle and looked up at Amber who actually smiled. She had two rows of perfectly straight and white teeth. I've never seen such a beautiful mouth before.

"Yeah, well the showers are down the hall."

I looked away from her nodded. I was about to walk back into the bathroom when I heard her say something else. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it."

Smiling I went to the cupboard and got out my tooth brush and tooth paste. I closed the mirror and looked at my reflection. I glanced down at my necklace, it was an old cross passed down through the woman in my family, and it was supposed to protect us from damnation.

I remembered why I was there. I remembered my family name. Rischer. We had powers that no one knew about, except some of our own kind. Of course, the only power I had was to pass down the power to my own children. My heart sank at the thought.

Shaking my head I decided not to think about that. I was at a new school. Tomorrow would be my first day of classes and I needed a good night's rest. Looking at the mirror I wondered what the bathrooms down the hall looked like, maybe I would go check them out.

Tooth brush and tooth paste in hand I made my way towards the door. I saw Amber glance up at me but she didn't say anything. As I opened the door I turned back to her. "I'll be right back."

The hall was dark, and eerily quiet. 'Down the hall and to the left' Amber's words ran through my head as I made my way down the hall. I could hear my footsteps echo the whole way and it made me walk slower, breathe harder, and my heart beat faster.

A giggle stopped me in my tracks. I looked behind me and saw no one down the hall. Okay… maybe I didn't hear a-

Another giggle sounded and I realized it was coming from the hallway up to my left. Gulping I walked slowly towards the hall, making sure that I was closest to the corner so whoever was in the hall wouldn't see me.

My back against the wall I held my breath and heard another giggle with some light whispers. Slowly I peeked my head around the corner.

There stood a guy and a girl. Whew. The guy had the girl up against the wall furthest from me; I couldn't see much of him because his back was to me. He had shaggy blonde hair that I saw from under his beanie and his head was buried into the brown haired girl's neck. She giggled once more.

I let out a breath and leaned back towards the wall I was against. Ugh, I was always freaked out about something. Looking down I noticed I practically squeezed my tooth paste to death.

I smiled and was about to walk away when I heard a cough from behind me. And no, it wasn't a normal cough, it was an 'excuse me I know your there' cough.

Casually I walked from around the corner to make it seem like I didn't peek and watch them make out for a second.

The girl had a huge grin on her face while she held the guys shoulders. She eyed me up and down and smiled wider and I quickly looked away from her to the guy who glared at me.

His eyes were dark in this light and his jaw clenched which made him all the more freaky. Strangely, I noticed he wore fingerless gloves, which held the girl by her waist. Who wears gloves at night? Indoors? Ignoring my thoughts I smiled slightly and continued to walk by them.

The girl gave me a grin back and laughed into the guys shoulders. His head turned to watch me walk away and that's when I felt something odd. Like his vibe or aura felt different somehow, well not actually different. It felt familiar, which was different in this case.

I quickly pushed open the woman's bathroom door which wasn't far passed the love birds.

Once inside I let out another breath and made my way to the sinks. "That was weird." I said to myself. There was something so weird about that kid. He seemed so off, so strange.

Looking at myself in the mirror I noticed how panicked I looked, no wonder she laughed at me. I then smiled and shook my head, just me freaking out again, I thought. There was no sense in freaking out about people making out in a hallway. Granted I'm not very used to it, but this was high school.

Laughing slightly I turned on the sink and began brushing my teeth.

After checking out the bathroom I slowly opened the door and looked out with just my head. Thank God, I thought as I stepped out into the hallway. They were gone. Laughing again I started back towards my room, already feeling the excitement of the new day ahead of me.

~ Reid's P.O.V ~

"Hello? Reid?" I heard an annoyed voice next to my ear.

After we ran into that chick we moved down the hall right next to my girl's door, where she said that if we were extra quiet we wouldn't wake her roommate up if we fucked in there.

I smirked against her neck and bit onto it once more, making sure that there would be a hickey tomorrow.

She sucked in a breath and forgot all about why she was annoyed while my hands ran up and down her thighs. I licked the soft skin on the crook of her neck which made her moan and claw at my shoulders. Putty in my hands, I thought smirking once more.

She then lifted my head and looked at me sexily. "My turn." She practically groaned before her lips latched onto my neck. You can try babe, but no one is as good at sucking skin as me.

Pulling her hips into mine, the friction and heat built between us. Good, cause that little twit earlier ruined it.

Thinking back to the girl who had walked by us and into the bathroom I felt myself smirk again. She looked so scared, like she belonged in grade school or something. The poor girl probably hasn't even been fucked good yet, or even at all.

I gripped my girl's hips tighter thinking about this other girl, for some reason she was making my blood boil more than the hottie in front of me. I couldn't even remember my girl's name. Fuck who cares?

I closed my eyes and leant against her body, putting my arm against the wall while her hands made their way down my abs to my belt.

There was something about that other girl, as she kept walking by, she changed in a way. She looked at me as if she knew me. Fuck, maybe I already fucked her. That was a possibility. But even for me, to completely forget wasn't normal.

You think I would remember those eyes. Even in the dark they were a brilliant blue, shiny and all. Hell, they were big too, or maybe that was because she was scared. Either way, I shrugged. Her hair was a golden blonde, not light like mine, but more honeyish. Looked soft also. I wouldn't mind tugging on that shit while I fucked her senseless.

"Oh Reid." I heard a moan and realized where I was again. Ah forget it; I know what floor she's one now so I can go for her later, I thought as I opened the door behind us and pushed her into the room with a satisfied smirk.
