A/N: this chapter's longer, sorry for the delay, R&R please!

Aaron glared at Charlotte from across the classroom,

They always chose Garwin over him. He really didn't get it why did Garwin always get the girls? Reid was just as much of a dick as he was, even more sometimes. But he had the right friends and that made everything go his way.

And this one was so damn perfect.

Charlotte bit her lip making Aaron notice the tiny freckle in the corner of her mouth.

Damn.

The teacher was saying something and glaring at Aaron but all he could see was Charlotte's perfect neck when she flipped her hair over her shoulder and then continued with her notes. She was probably smart too; she'd have to be to get into Spenser.

The teacher began writing names of group partners on the board; he tore his eyes away from Charlotte to look at the names.

He had to be dreaming, that was the only explanation. There was no way that the teacher had actually paired him and Charlotte together. People were moving but he sat still in his desk staring at the names. He'd get to look at Charlotte for three weeks while they did whatever project this was.

He definitely had to be dreaming.

!!!!!!!!!

Charlotte rolled her eyes and got out of her seat to go sit by Aaron, this had to be some kind of sick joke the teacher was playing. He was making her work with the guy whose only intention was getting into her pants.

Well, it'd actually be up her skirt with the uniforms, Charlotte mused. Skirts were well good on occasion, but she knew she'd get sick of it after a while.

Sitting in the empty chair next to him, Charlotte pulled out the notes she'd taken on the assigned project, Aaron kept staring at her with his mouth slightly agape. Her nose crinkled in disgust,

"Look," Charlotte started, smoothing her skirt; Aaron stared at her petite hands moving over the pleats, his eye caught on the white gold band adorned with a beryl gemstone and diamonds around her left ring finger. "I don't care if you don't contri-"

"You're married?" Aaron said loudly and crudely, he said the word like it was the worst curse word he could think of. Charlotte thanked God that the classroom was loud and Aaron's voice didn't carry.

Charlotte rolled her eyes and continued,

"Yes, as I was saying I don't care if you don't do anything on this project bu-"

"I thought you said you were going out with Garwin?" Aaron said furrowing his eyebrows at his enemy's name

"I lied. Can we move on? As previously stated I'll do all th-"

"Why would you lie someone you don't even know?"

"Because I didn't want to talk to you, I didn't even want to talk to Garwin but he's harder to get rid of. Anyways, I'll do the work if you'll st-"

"But I do-" Aaron started again

"I swear if you interrupt me one more time I will shove your foot up ass so far you won't know whether to go to a Podiatrist or a Oncologist to get it out." Charlotte said looking pissed off. Aaron's mouth shut with a click and Charlotte resumed her sentence.

"I'll do all the work if you'll stay out of my way and don't screw this project up for me. sound good?" Charlotte finished

the bell rang shrilly , Charlotte stood up,

"Good, I'll keep you posted on how it's going." she turned on her heel and was gone

"Shit." Aaron muttered, he gathered up his stuff and walked out of the classroom

!!!!!!!

Weeks went by, nothing happened, she was a model student, had a couple of friends, but when word got around that she was married, the couple friends she did have shied away, that made her too much like their parents too mature.

!!!!!!!!!

"There's no way you can make that shot." Tyler said shaking his head at Reid, Reid raised his eyebrows slightly, "Without cheating." Tyler added, Reid chuckled and leaned down on the pool table setting up his shot. he concentrated on the exact way to hit the cue ball, he pulled his stick back and was about to set the ball forward when she walked in,

She was dressed in a white halter top and a black skirt that went to her knees, she had a jean jacket on over her halter, and high heeled black boots on, Reid accidentally tapped the cue ball making for a scratch. but he couldn't take his eyes off of her, even as Tyler was laughing as telling him 'I told you so' her curly hair was up in a messy bun but curls framing her face.

"Damn," Reid said softly as he stood up, tiler came to stand next to him, she looked so serious and solemn as she walked up to the bar and talked quietly with Nicky. her head turned slightly and Reid caught a glimpse of a row of earrings going all the way up her ear. she looked around the bar, it was a Saturday afternoon so business was light, but all Sons plus Sarah and Kate were there. Charlotte's eye caught on Sarah, shock then anger played across her face

Reid tapped Tyler's shoulder,

"Baby Boy i think some shit's about to go down." they set down their sticks and walked over to where the Sons and company sat. Charlotte made her way over, anger radiating off of her. Sarah looked up at the last moment, shock rippling over her face

"Charlie..." Sarah said in a small voice "I didn't mean to-"

"Don't fucking ever talk to me, you've talked too goddamn much it's time you started listening." Sarah stood up and tried to start talking again, but Charlie shut her down.

"You tried to ruin everything i ever had and everything i ever cared about, all for what? now where's that picket fence love? now where's that shiny car? i hope you've realized that all that material shit that meant so much to you means nothing." Charlotte turned on her heal and made like she was going to leave but turned back around

"When you see my face hope it gives you hell, when you walk my way hope it gives you hell," Sarah looked more upset than she'd been during the entire Chase debacle. Charlotte's face seemed to soften for a moment "Truth be told I've missed you."

Sarah's face lit up with hope,

"Really?"

Charlotte laughed, and continued

"Truth be told I'm lying!"

Reid laughed in the background, he'd never really liked Sarah, at first he thought she was hot but then she got annoying; he didn't know how Caleb put up with it. Charlotte was still going off on Sarah

"When you find a man that's worth a damn and treats you well," Caleb stood up net to Sarah, trying to make the peace. Charlotte glanced at him and laughed. "Then he's a fool, you're just a well, hope it gives you hell." Charlotte turned and walked out of Nicky's still fuming(lines from "Gives You Hell" by All American Rejects, no copyright infringement intended).

Sarah sat down and put her head in her hands, Reid walked out of the bar after Charlotte.

"What happened between you two? Jesus she was mad as hell." Caleb said sitting back down next to Sarah.

"It's a long story."
