Kat had found out that week that with the two classes she had on Tuesday Caleb was in her first one and Reid was in her second one. They both had decided to sit right beside her and it drew a few eyes in their direction. This is not exactly what I expected. She felt a sense of nervousness from all the eyes. The whispers drove her insane. Class with Reid though was….how could she put this…horrid. One, he'd decided to sit right by her to get under her skin no less, two, if he wasn't making smartass comments in which he didn't seem to think about before speaking he eye fucking other chicks in the room. Kat sat at the edge of her seat trying desperately to pay attention even though the professor was only going over what they would be doing during the semester.
"Isn't it great that we have the same class?" Reid said with plenty of sarcasm as he followed Kat from the class. He eyed a blonde in a mini skirt and tank top as she walked past. It was clear that she was dressed like that for the attention, sexual attention anyways.
Kat only shrugged. She just wanted to get to point B from point A, which was to get to Qwerty who was at the local café on campus. Reid seemed to be following in step though.
"Why are you following me?" she asked stopping abruptly
"Let's see…" he trailed off "I am going to the pool for swim practice."
Kat looked around and notice the phys ed. Building wasn't far from where they were.
"Why would I follow you anyhow? You don't hold that much intrigue." He smirked
He brushed past her chuckling. Kat could feel her cheeks reddening. In an instant before she even thought it fully through, she took off her flip flop and threw it at him. It hit him on his shoulder. He made a ducking gesture after being hit and looked back at her. Kat just wiggled her eyebrows with such attitude that said asshole. Reid looked at her long and hard then picked up her shoe. For a split second she thought he'd throw it back at her, but then he just stuffed it in his bag and continued on walking.
"Reid!" she yelled
He just waved her off grinning as he did so.
Qwerty looked at Kat as she walked in the café with only one shoe on.
"Did you lose one?" she asked trying to laugh.
"Not exactly." Kat said
Sure, it was partially her fault. Okay it was completely her fault; she did throw it at him.
"So how did class go then?" she asked
Kat glared at Qwerty. That's a dumbass question.
"Right." She laughed
The two talked like they were best friends. There were several things they talked about. Dinner had past and they grabbed something from the menu. Kat liked it a lot. She could only think one other person that could even think about coming close to this new friendship. Qwerty's eye were always right. Maybe she was thankful not to be alone when just starting out. Kat was pretty thankful as well.
"And here comes Reid." She said
The two are on first name basis? Kat turned in her seat as he made his way over. He nodded lightly in acknowledgement and took the seat to the left.
"What are two up to?"
"Girl things. You know talking about periods and such." Kat said
Reid nudged her nearly knocking her out of her seat. Qwerty started laughing hysterically. It was only the second day and she knew where to go if in need of entertainment. Kat was laughing as well.
"Seriously." He said
"Nothing important."
"So it's not about me?" he said as wiggled his eyebrows at them
"No absolutely not. Well, except that you took my shoe." Kat said flatly
"You threw it at me so I took it as a gift." He said
Kat snorted at him. Yeah, whatever. Reid just bugged her. He seemed like the type who got anything he wanted like a spoiled brat.
Kat bugged him. She seemed like she was all high and mighty. He bet that if she knew why she'd really moved in she'd run away. Reid actually contemplated telling her so that she would leave. Her screaming made him laugh then again it depended on what she was screaming for…it still made him laugh inside. Breaking his train of thought his phone vibrated.
"What Caleb?" Reid said into the phone
Kat and Qwerty ignored him not that they even paid attention to him before that. Caleb was ranting in his ear.
"Yeah, I got it." Reid said irritatedly "I'm on my way."
He hit the end button before Caleb could continue.
"Sorry ladies you'll have do without my presence." He said as he stood
"We were fine before your presence." Kat said
Reid swatted her on the back of her head. She gave him a death glare now. He didn't seem intimidated in the least.
"Has it really come to that?" she asked darkly
"Maybe. Then again I'm all for kinky foreplay." he said
Kat didn't have a comeback for that. There just didn't seem to be one that fit. Reid smirked as he walked out knowing that she just couldn't find any words to something like that. He could also feel her judgmental eyes on him. If she really did know him at all she'd know that he'd never really dated. Hell, he'd never even really screwed around. Sure, there were a few, but that was when he thought he could try to be serious with those girls and it ended up with him breaking their hearts. However, there were no rules against flirting. He did plenty of that to let any and every girl know what they were missing out on. Every girl except his housemate.
After about nearly an hour Kat and Qwerty split and headed back to their own quarters. As Kat came up to the house she looked at more intensely. It looked like an old frat house. She trotted up the porch steps and through the front door. She moved to go to the living, but was stopped by the blackness of the entire house.
"Well, this isn't creepy."
As Kat made her way through the house she ran smack into a door. It was really a door. If it was she would've seen it clearly in the past few days. It was a secret hatch that opened up into another room. Kat rubbed her head a little from having run into the door. Ow.
She kept quiet being she wasn't entirely sure what the hell was going on. It was like a haunted house and it felt like it too. Kat started feeling cold as she started to walk into the hidden room of the house. Overall she should've figured that there'd be one. The house was gothic and large and it screamed creepy…sort of. She still kept walking and came to a set of spiral stairs. Not only that, but she could feel something else…it was scary like someone was near her or watching her. Yes, let's go down the creepy stairs. It's not like that isn't in the rules of horror movies.
The weird coldness stuck with her as she crept down the stairs. A slight glow was emanating as she went further down. When she made to the bottom she froze. Caleb and Reid sat across from each other with a book on a stool in between them. Candles lit the room making the situation all the more awkward for her. What the hell are they into?
Both Reid and Caleb's heads shot up and looked at her. They had the same look that was on her face. Oh shit. For what felt like several minutes when in actuality it was only seconds they just stayed where they were as if afraid to move. Then all of the sudden Kat scoffed into a laugh. I knew there had to be some flaw to them. Caleb and Reid looked at her with even bigger eyes. Was there something they didn't and she did?
"Wow, I knew that there had to be something." She said trying to breathe
Then after her laughter died down she continued. Reid had his fists clenched thinking that she might know something she wasn't letting on. It would be like the Chase incident all over again. The name made his skin crawled. Caleb's jaw clenched unsure of what to make of the intrusion by his housemate. They'd been caught.
"It's just too funny is all. You two into the whole occult thing." She still struggled not to laugh "Just don't volunteer me for being the sacrificial lamb."
Kat turned and walked out on catching them down there. She didn't know what they were really discussing. If anything she was completely oblivious. Both men just stared after her.
"That was close." Reid said
"Too close…and now she thinks we're freaks." Caleb said
As the two continued went to continue their discussion with the book of damnation in between them a scream reached out through the entire house. A young woman's scream, Kat's scream.
