Scarletts POV

Pogue led Scarlett through the halls of Spencer and she couldn't help but feel bewildered by the fact that he knew where he was going. He led her into one of the classrooms and she was momentarily taken aback by the size and shape of it. The front of the room was small but the seats were on a steep angle. Noticing her pause he turned to her and asked "Everything alright?"

"Yeah, I'm just glad I'm not afraid of heights is all." She laughed.

"Yeah don't worry it takes a little while to get used to it. Come on." He led her up the stairs to where a crazily good looking guy sat. He turned to face them and flashed Pogue a smile, they bummed fists "Hey man." He said.

"Hey," Pogue replied with a smile, nudging Scarlett forward he introduced her to the guy. "Caleb this is Scarlett, Scarlett this is Caleb."

The guy, Caleb, put out his hand and Scarlett shook it. "Nice to meet you Scarlett, have you been going to Spencer long?" he said politely. Scarlett groaned internally, 'time for the life story'.

She shook her head, "No first day. And before you ask, my last school was in Chicago, I have an older brother who doesn't go to school, so far my opinion on Ipswich is that it's cold, but" she glanced at Pogue, who was watching her with an amused expression. "The people are nice, I have a pet python and yes I have been to a lot of schools in the last year so I don't mean to come off as a bitch but the amount of times I've had to tell people that I figure that it's easier to get it out of the way." She finished by smiling politely at Caleb who seemed to be frozen with a bemused expression painted on his face.

Before he had a chance to reply a tall guy with long hair walked up to her and took hold of her waist, "Hey, I'm Aaron, I take it your new here. Why don't you come and sit with me and we can get," he looked down at her breasts, "More acquainted?"

Turning to face him she gave him a seductive smile. Lifting her hand she gestured with her finger for him to come closer, when he did she told him quietly: "We could do that or…you could run along and leave me alone, because if you ever touch me again I'll rip off your balls and shove them down your throat. How about that?" she gave him a deadly smile and watched as he raised his hands and walked away muttering 'crazy bitch' under his breath. She turned back to Pogue and Caleb, "Sorry about that, where were we?"

Pogue looked about ready to stab Aaron and Scarlett had to admit it was nice to have someone who actually wanted to protect her for a change. Caleb on the other hand was smiling from ear to ear, "Any girl who can answer twenty questions in one breath then threaten Aaron into submission with as much skill as you just did, in my books is awesome!"

His positive attitude seemed to flow into Pogue and he relaxed enough to smile and nod his agreement, though he still watched Aaron until he was satisfied that he wouldn't be coming back. Scarlett smiled, it was absolutely adorable, and completely in vain. She couldn't help but wonder would he still act this way if he knew the truth about her?

Pogues POV

Pogue looked back to Scarlett, "Why don't you take a seat? I just have to talk to someone first." He gave her en encouraging look. Caleb moved over and she sat down. As he walked away he could hear her and Caleb talking about her python.

Walking up a few more stairs he walked over to where Kate was sitting with Sarah. "Hey babe." He said with a forced smile hoping that he could avoid a fight. It was all they seemed to do ever since the whole ordeal with Chase and he didn't know what he could do to change that, he had tried agreeing with her, not speaking at all and switching topics but to no avail. He was starting to wonder if they would ever be as close as they were before.

Looking past him to Scarlett, who was laughing at something Caleb had said, she demanded "Who is that?!"

He sighed "Her names Scarlett, she lives in the dorm next door to me and it's her first day." He shrugged, "I promised to show her around."

"That's nice of you." Sarah said trying to ease the tension and failing.

"Yeah, very nice of you." And with that simple sentence it was on. Suddenly it wasn't just about Scarlett it was about every girl Pogue had ever been nice to. 'Here we go again!'

Scarlett POV

Raised voices coming from the back of the room caused Scarlett and Caleb to pause. Turning around she saw Pogue, his face, which she had gotten used to see smiling was now angry, arguing with a pretty brunette. From next to her she heard Caleb mumble "not again."

Turning she looked at Caleb. "What do you mean 'not again'? Who is she?"

"Her names Kate, she's Pogue's girlfriend, but the way they've been fighting of late I don't know how much longer." He sighed.

She didn't know why but when she heard he had a girlfriend Scarlett couldn't help but feel jealousy stab at her heart. 'Ok so I guess I know why.'He was gorges, funny and kind so it made sense that someone would have claimed him by now. Still that didn't mean that it didn't suck.

There was a loud slap sound from the back;she turned back in time to see Kate get up and storm out of the classroom, leaving Pogue standing there with his eyes closed and his hand on his now red cheek. After a few seconds he opened his eyes, glaring at the other students who had stopped their conversations and were now watching him.

Angry at them Scarlett got up and walked to his side. "What? You bitches never seen someone have a hisyfit before?! Grow up!" she yelled the worlds with enough venom in her voice that everyone turned away whispering to each other quietly. Looking at Pogue she tilted her head towards where Caleb sat waiting "Come on." Anger still present inside her she rubbed the gem of her ring. Feeling its familiar cool and with its magical properties her anger was quickly cooled to annoyance.

Caleb had moved over so that Pogue could sit in between them. He sat heavily but didn't speak. Just at that moment the teacher entered.
