Ch. 3

First Day Fun

After meeting with Provost Higgins Lily spent all of Sunday gathering her uniform, books and other supplies necessary for her first day. So sadly she was unable to spend anytime with the guy, namely Tyler. She wasn't sure why, but the whole day she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. Yet there was never anybody around.

Monday morning came with the speed of a lighting bolt, or at least that was what it felt like to Lily when her alarm clock fired off with the sound of Kate Vogeole's song 'No good' blaring through the radio as the alarm clock struck 6: 30 am. Lily reluctantly got out of bed, showered, got dressed in her bran new Spenser uniform and pulled her hair into a ponytail before heading for the door.

She opened her door and found Tyler with his arm raised in mid knock. "Good morning handsome, I missed you yesterday."

"I missed you t…" his words were halted as Lily pulled him into a kiss that would put their previous kiss in the PG category. Tyler came out of his daze and smiled brighter than the lights of Las Vegas at nighttime. "So, you uh, ready to go to class." Lily nodded her head and they began to make their way through the crowded hallways.

As they walked, Lily found herself to be the center of attention, the guy's were eyeing her and the girls were looking at her with curiousness, hatred, confusion and if she was positive, a bit of jealousy and every now and again she'd here things like.

"Who the hell is she?"

"What is she doing with Tyler Sims?"

"Why is it that only new girls are the ones that get to hang out with the 'Sons'?"

"Damn, she's hot."

"Um, Tyler, why is everybody looking at us like we're a Roswell science project?" she asked in an escalated tone, to get her point across to everyone that's eyes lingered on them for to long.

Tyler gave her a knowing look. "Ah that's right, we never did explain our history with this town did we?" Lily shook her head no so he continued, " Well, mine, Caleb's, Reid's and Pogue's ancestors were four of the original families that founded Ipswich in the 1600's, so naturally people sorta see us as a group, as the sons of Ipswich and we enjoy having it that way."

"Ah, I see, so that explains why I kept hearing people refer to you as the sons, I'd thought you'd gone of and started a band or something." Lily said laughing.

Tyler laughed too. "You wouldn't be the first to think that."

"Yeah, but anybody who knows you, knows you cant sing to save your life," Lily nudged Tyler playfully before letting seriousness take over her tone, " But that doesn't explain why they're so shocked to see me with you."

Tyler seemed to be lost in thought for a moment before he spoke up. "Probably cause none of them have ever seen me in a relationship before."

Lily quickly covered the smile that crossed her face. "Why haven't they?"

"Probably because I haven't thought about being with anybody but you since we were thirteen years old." She could no longer control the smile that lit up her face. Everything in the way his piercing blue eyes held hers to his tone when he said those words to her screamed honesty. That alone made her love him even more.

"Well in that case," she pulled him into a long and sensual kiss before pulling back and looking deeply into his eyes, "Let's give them something to talk about."

They walked hand in hand all the way to their first class, talking and laughing the whole way. They didn't even have to worry about ignoring the curious onlookers and the glances they were receiving, because to them nothing else mattered but each other.

As they made their way to their seats Tyler's phone began ringing. Tyler checked his caller I.D to find that it was Reid calling. He let out a bored sigh and answered the phone, "Yes Reid?" He asked not bothering to hide his annoyance.

"Don't start baby boy, just put Lily on." Reid shot into the phone.

Tyler handed Lily the phone, "Reid wants to talk to you."

Lily gave Tyler a calculating look and put the phone to her ear. "Good morning sunshine," she said cheerily into the phone, "did you mix the vodka with red bull again, cause, I've told you not to do that on school days."

"I must've been to drunk to remember, look Lil can you please just stall Mr. Burrows so I'm not marked as tardy?" Reid asked with a hopeful tone.

"Reid it's my first day for God's sake and class is about to start in three minutes, I can't just stall the teacher." Lily could practically hear Reid wince as she shouted into the phone and gained the attention of the whole classroom.

"If anybody can think of something to stall the teacher in three minutes its you," after a moment of silence Reid felt that begging was his only option, "come on Lil please, I'll be your best friend?"

Lily couldn't hold back her laughter at the sound of Reid begging as if he were a five year old. She let out a defeated sigh and responded. "Fine, but I can only guaranty ten minutes at most, so you'd better move your ass."

She could hear Reid's breath's quicken as he began to run, "thanks gorgeous, I'm on my way," with that he hung up and Lily was left with about a minute in a half before the teacher would reach the classroom and Reid would be screwed.

Tyler examined the smirk that graced Lily's face, a smirk he'd seen many times before, a smirk that said she'd just thought up something devious. Clearly he wasn't the only one who noticed either, cause in an instant the entire class had fallen silent and all eyes were on Lily as she opened her phone and pressed nine on her speed dial.

"Hello, this is the Spenser Academy main office, Cathleen speaking." A softly aged voice said into the phone.

Lily took in a deep breath and began speaking with a thick country accent. "Hello Cathleen, this is…" Lily glanced over her shoulder and sent Pogue a wink, "Pogue Parry's mother Georgina."

Pogue sent Lily a questioning glance as Caleb began laughing hysterically. "Ah yes Mrs. Parry, I didn't know you were back in town, what can I do for you?" Cathleen asked kindly.

"Oh, I'm not back yet, I was just calling to talk his science teacher Mr. Burrows actually." Lily looked down at her watch and cringed as she saw that she had thirty three seconds in counting left.

"Oh o.k. well I'll just see if I can reach him for you." She could hear Cathleen set down the phone and get up from her desk.

Lily began tapping her foot anxiously as she waited for Cathleen to reach Mr. Burrows, but as she waited the doorknob began to turn and all eyes turned to the classrooms entrance. Lily drew in a deep breath as the door began to slowly open.

'Mr. Burrows please report to the main office there's a call for you' relief washed over Lily as the intercom rang out with Cathleen's voice and the classroom door closed.

It took Mr. Burrows around five minutes to make it to the main office and to phone. "Hello, this is Mr. Burrows."

It only took Lily a second to get back into character, "Hello Mr. Burrows, this is Georgina Parry and I was wondering about my sons behavior in your classroom?"

"Um, Pogue behaves fine in my class, he's a little on the quiet side, but that's normal." He said in confusion.

"Oh, really, cause you know I got a letter from his math teacher, Mr.…" this time Pogue was the one laughing hysterically while Caleb and Tyler just shook their heads. Lily shrugged her shoulders at them and found herself getting cut off by Mr. Burrows.

"You mean, Mrs. Tate?" He asked

Realization hit Lily like a ton of brick and she had to hold back her own laughter. "Right Mrs. Tate, sorry you have to excuse me I'm just a bit flustered. Anyway like I was saying, she sent me a letter saying that my Pogo was a disrupt in her class, and that just didn't sit right with me." Lily took a breath and continued. "I mean lets be honest, the boy doesn't talk that much to begin with, I've checked with his doctors and so far they've told me there's nothing wrong with him not being socially developed. Only thing I can think of is that I dropped him on the head one to many times as a baby but that's hardly cause for his behavior to be disruptive."

Lily could once again hear the confusion dripping from Mr. Burrow's voice, "Um, Yeah, look Mrs. Parry, as far as I'm concerned Pogue is a perfectly behaved student, but I'm afraid we'll have to finish this conversation another time, I have a class to teach."

Lily looked up as Reid came running into the classroom. "Of course, you go fill those kid's heads with knowledge, thank you for your time, bye now." Lily hung up her phone and glared at Reid. "Dude you so owe me."

Reid took his seat on her left placing her between himself and Tyler. "Yeah, yeah, I'll buy you a pony, nice work though, couldn't have done it better myself."

She gave him a small smile. "I'm sure, although to be completely honest with you I wasn't planning on pulling out my bag of tricks this early into my stay here, I want to at least make it to graduation without getting booted."

"Ah come on, you had fun, made a name for yourself," he scanned the room and gave a few of the male students the 'Don't Even Think About It' look, "you made a couple of admirer's, I'd say you've had a good start, and trust me as far as getting booted goes you've got nothing to worry about."

Lily only caught the last part. "What do you mean I have nothing to worry about?"

Reid shrugged his shoulders. "Caleb's great, great something aunt Eleanor Spenser founded this place in 1831, so unless they wanted to take it up with his mother, you've got nothing to worry about."

Lily tried to refrain from her comment, but the temptation was just too great, "So I'm guessing that's why they haven't saw fit to throw your ass into public school yet, meaning that there was really no point for me to stall for you was there."

"Mm, more or less," he lightly nudged her shoulder, "you did have fun though right, that is the whole point of your first day?"

Lily smiled brightly, "Of course I did, Casanova."

"Hm, Casanova… I like that," he said smugly before turn and looking over his shoulder, "hey Lil, why is Pogue giving you the death glare?"

Lily didn't even bother turning around, she'd seen that look before. "Because I posed as Georgina in my, under new knowledge, pointless attempt to cover for you and made, in my mind, hysterically funny comments about him being socially undeveloped, and something along the lines of, dropped him on his head to much as a baby."

This time Reid was the one laughing. "Yeah, that will do it."

The rest of Lily's day went by rather quickly, most of her classes had either the 'sons' as she now jokingly called them or Sarah and Kate whom she was becoming fast friends with. Now she was making her way towards the pool to check out the guy's swim practice like she'd promised Tyler and Reid she would. Not that she needed a lot of convincing to go see her new boyfriend swimming in tight Speedo, more commonly known as a 'hardly there', nope, she didn't need any convincing. She reached the bleachers where Sarah and Kate were in the midst of a heavy debate.

"Nope, Pogue definatly looks better." Kate said evenly

"Uh, Uh Caleb's got that natural tan that brings definition to his abs." Sarah said in a somewhat dreamy state.

Kate looked at her as if she'd grown another head. "Are you kidding me, Pogue's got abs of steel," she looked up when she saw Lily, "Hey, who do you think looks better in swim wear Caleb or Pogue?"

Lily looked between the two girls as if they'd both asked her to perform an autopsy, "Ew, there like my brothers, besides, Tyler looks better than both of them."

Sarah and Kate both shouted 'Blasphemy' and they all had a great laugh. They talked as they waited for their men to start their practice but were interrupted by a tall, well built guy with long curly hair.

"Hey, I haven't seen you around here before," he said addressing Lily.

Lily immediately took a disliking to the curly haired guy. "That's probably because I'm new, but in this town you'd have to be either deaf or just plain stupid to not know that, so which one are you?"

Kate and Sarah who were about to step in before Lily spoke concluded that she could handle herself so instead they just decided to sit back, laugh and enjoy the show.

"Aw, come on, I'm just trying to be friendly here." He said trying to sound seductive, but failing miserably.

"Go be friendly with someone else, cause I'm not going to waist my time getting hit on by a jerk," she cast a quick yet humorous glance at his Speedo and then looked him dead in the eye, "especially one in short supply."

With that, he got up and stormed off. "You are my new favorite person." Kate said laughing.

"Hey, who was the jackass?" Lily asked motioning her finger in the direction the guy stormed off in.

"That was Aaron Abbott, and yes he is a total jackass." Sarah said but her vision trailed off as she spotted the 'sons' making their grand entrance.

Lily's heart skipped a beat as Tyler gave her one of his heartbreaking smile's, him being in a Speedo didn't help matters much either but she wasn't complaining in the least. They spent ten minute's before practice talking about their days and Sarah and Kate went into great detail in their retelling of the Aaron Abbott situation, which Reid said had definitely made it's way into the top twenty dis's worthy of remembering, gaining extra points for timing.

Half way into the guy's practice, Lily said her good byes to the girls and made her way to the library to pick up a copy of To Kill A Mockingbird for her English class. Do to transferring in almost midyear she was the only one in class without her copy.

She heard the constant whispering about her, most of which revolved around her apparent closeness with the 'sons'. For the most part she just shut them all out as she made her way through the massive library in search of the book. Not long after she began her search she found herself in the stacks holding a well-preserved copy of To Kill A Mockingbird. But then the strangest thing happened, that strange feeling she'd felt the previous day, the feeling that she was being watched. It was strange though, she could see other people in the library from where she was standing and half of the student body had been watching her all day because of her closeness with the 'sons' but this.

This feeling had seeped into her gut and made her feel sick, it made her feel uncomfortable in a way she wouldn't even be able to describe. She started to make her way towards the check out counter but was stopped when someone tapped her shoulder.

She let gasped and turned around, " Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," said a guy who stood a bout Caleb's height and had short sandy hair and stunning green eyes, that had a weary look to them and had made him look older then the eighteen year old she assumed he was, "I just noticed that you looked spooked and wanted see if you were o.k."

She looked at him for a moment and let out an exasperated laugh. "If you saw that I looked spooked than it was probably not a good idea to surprise me, don't you think?" She immediately felt bad for her harshness when a look of heart crossed his face. "Look, I'm sorry, that was rude of me I'm just a bit jumpy is all."

His lips curved up into a smile. "It's o.k, you were right it wasn't the smartest thing to do, I was just a little nervous to approach you, your beautiful."

Lily felt her cheeks get warmer and she new her face was probably an embarrassing shade of red. "Thank you."

"So it's not much of a guess cause word in this school travels ridiculously fast, I'm assuming your Lily Davis a.k.a. the new girl?" he asked

"That's me." She replied simply

"And you're a friend of the 'sons'?" He asked eagerly

"Uh, ya, we met each other at camp when we were younger and kept in touch, and as I'm sure you've already guessed I live here now but I'm actually only friends with Caleb, Reid and Pogue, Tyler's my boyfriend." She added in hopes of knocking the hungry look he was giving her off his face.

He looked taken back for a moment and then composed himself. "So shy Ty finally got a girlfriend."

"Yeah, he did," Lily, snapped slightly offended, "what's it to you?"

"Oh, no offence, I'm just an old friend of the guys and I was curious about how they were doing." He said taking on his former nice guy demeanor.

"Then why don't you just ask them?" Lily asked

"Because they wouldn't be to happy to see me." He said without any hint of emotion.

"Can't say I'm shocked." Lily said under her breathe before speaking up and asking him, "why?"

"All good things in time, beautiful," he gave a look that sent chills down her spine and not in a good way, "tell the guys I said hi, would you?"

She looked at him oddly as he began to walk towards the stacks where she new there wasn't an exit. "Hey, I didn't get your name."

"It's Chase." He said and before she could blink he had disappeared in the stacks and was gone.

There was that sick feeling again, only this time it was because of the name, Chase was the guy Tyler had told her had died. 'So that couldn't had been him' she tried to reason with herself but she new when she had asked Tyler about it before that he hadn't told her the whole story, but why would he want to keep it from her. In that moment she new that no matter what, she was going to find out what the hell was going on.

I should have the next ch. up soon if i'm lucky. P.S. I hope you enjoyed it.

and if you were curious, the teachers prank call was inspired by one of the many things me and my friends have done because of our strong issue's with authority figures. Plus the teacher was an ass.......
