Summary: A new girl arrives at Spencer only days after Chase's disappearance. She comes with a secret but starts to find it very hard to keep with a very annoying boy following her around. Reid/OC

Notes: Here's another. Thank you everyone for your reviews. I really appreciated them, which is why I'm putting up another chapter. Everything been pretty fluffy up till now but by the next chapter some more will be revealed about Breanna and a certain enemy will make a reappearance.

Breanna opened her door to her next class then screamed. "Stop it!" With her hand over her heart she looked up and glared at the amused blond. "Can't you knock instead of scaring the hell out of me?"

"I was about to but then you opened the door. Can I come in?" Before even waiting for a response he stepped around her and entered her room.

For a moment she just stood there starting at the empty doorway. He was absolutely impossible she realized. She had never met anyone so frustrating in her life. She was resolved to end whatever was going on once and for all but when she shut the door and turned around she suddenly felt a little doubt. "Add rude to your horrible qualities."

"Really?" Reid smiled. "You seemed to like my qualities last night."

Breanna rubbed her face with her hands. He was impossible to get rid of.

"So tell me, what was so wrong with kissing me that you had to run from me last night?" She seemed to hesitate for a moment and he swore to himself that he wasn't leaving until she answered him.

She couldn't very well tell him that she knew he was losing control of himself because of his coming ascension. "Because you have problems."

"What?" He asked and for a moment was genuinely confused. He had to admit it was the truth but any problems he had she had no idea about.

"This is ridiculous, I've got to go, which means you have to also." When she headed to her door he didn't move. "What?"

"Nothing." Reid shook his head and walked to her door. He'd had every attention of leaving but when she reached for the door knob he instinctively grabbed her hand to stop her.

There was a flutter in Breanna's chest when his hand closed over hers. When she turned to look up at him he was closer than she originally thought. "I've got to go." Breanna knew her words weren't very convincing because of the shaky whisper of her voice. Again his lips descended on hers but this time she didn't let him. She put her hands on his chest to keep him back and narrowed her eyes at him. "I told you that you can't do that." His hands covered hers and when he stepped forward she couldn't make herself push him back again. This time when he tried kissing her she let him.

This time a little more planning went into kissing her. The previous night had been on impulse. At the time he hadn't even realized that he had been following her around because he was attracted to her. Now he knew she'd push him away if he moved to fast. So he kissed her slowly and eased the school bag off her shoulders. After it fell to the floor he settled his hands on her hips and pulled her closer to him. Being in her room was much more tempting than being in the hall way. Not only were they away from prying eyes but there was also a bed that he couldn't seem to forget about.

When he pulled away he had that sneaky smile on his face that she hated. At that moment all she wanted to do was hit him.

"Thanks." Reid winked at her and opened to door. He was counting on her being offended and he wasn't disappointed.

Once he exited Breanna stared at where he once stood in shock. She couldn't believe he had the nerve to come in her room, kiss her when she told him not to, and then say thanks. Without thinking she threw open the door and stepped into the hallway. "Thanks?!" The other students in the hallway turned to stare at her but she didn't notice. All she noticed was the superior smirk on his face when he turned his head. He didn't stop walking though. When he disappeared around the corner she walked back into her room and slammed the door behind her.

After studying for a while Breanna gave up. She needed help. She needed to talk to some one. Usually the first person she would call was her father. In this case she wasn't so sure though. She couldn't exactly call her father and tell him that Reid Garwin was hitting on her in a stalkerish kind of way. Instead she opted for her uncle.

When she got back to her room she pulled out her cell phone and dialed his number.

"Hey kid."

"Hey."

"Oh I know that tone of voice. What's up?"

Before even beginning Breanna sighed. "This is getting a little more difficult than I thought it would be."

"Oh come on. It's not that bad. You really don't have to do anything. Just watch them and do your best to remain unseen."

"That's my problem. I'm having trouble remaining unseen." There was a short silence and Breanna began to get nervous from her uncle's lack of response.

"What do you mean?"

She sighed again. "Reid Garwin. He's been talking to me."

"Okay Breanna, just spit it out."

Breanna fell backwards onto her bed and closed her eyes. "Alright he's been coming on to me and it's bordering on harassment."

"I thought you were going to avoid them?"

"I am! The more I avoid him the more he harasses me!" There was a groan on the other end of the phone and Breanna winced. "That's not all it."

"Oh come on Breanna!"

"He kissed me."

"Breanna!"

"I know, I know." She rubbed the bridge of her nose and began to wonder if calling her uncle had been a bad idea. "But you can't tell my dad."

"Breanna…."

"I'm serious!" She sat up quickly when she heard the hesitation in his voice. "I'm doing everything I should be doing. It's not my fault Reid Garwin is bothering me. How easy do you think it is to avoid a seventeen year old boy?"

"Alright, alright. Well just tell him you're not interested."

Breanna couldn't respond to her uncle. She wanted to lie to him. Tell him she wasn't interested or maybe just lie to her uncle and tell him she tell Reid she wasn't interested. Her silence obviously said a lot though.

"Don't tell me you are interested. Jeez Breanna. You know what it means to be involved with one of them. You can't do this. Not only do you risk exposing yourself but other things."

"I know."

"Alright, alright. If you tried do you think you could somehow make him uninterested?"

"No. The more I avoid him it gets worse."

"Alright. Well then let whatever it is happen. We have to look at this from a different point of view. If you can get on the inside then you have a better idea of what is going on."

"You're serious?"

"Yes. But if you're going to do this make sure he isn't going to change his mind. Keep doing what you're doing. Obviously he likes you because you're hard to get. Don't change that."

"This is ridiculous. I can't believe you're telling me how to flirt." A smile crept onto her face and for the first time in days she was able to make light of the whole situation.

"I'm only twenty-eight Breanna. I may be married now but it wasn't so long ago that was a seventeen year old boy also. Which reminds me, he's seventeen, so his thoughts are usually on one thing so be careful."

Breanna groaned at what her uncle suggested but the conversation slipped to unimportant things and she soon hung up with him. For a few moments she sat on the bed in silence. Suddenly it occurred to her that at that particular time they would be on the quad, at the usual spot they sat at for lunch.

She was always there at the same time everyday. He'd counted on it for the past week. When she didn't show up at her usual spot he began to wonder if she was actually avoiding him. For a moment he considered going to find her but quickly dismissed that idea. Making her uncomfortable was one thing but turning into a stalker was different. Then suddenly she was coming down the steps and a smile spread slowly over his face. "I'll be back."

"Where are you going?" Tyler waited for an answer but none came. Reid just kept walking. He turned back to Pogue and directed the question to him. "What the hell is he doing?"

Pogue only shrugged and watched Reid's progress across the yard. Eventually he came to a stop in front of a girl. "Isn't that the girl that Caleb was suspicious of the other day?"

Tyler groaned and watched as the girl looked up at him. "Yea. Reid's been checking her out lately." He thought it wise not to mention the library and hallway incident.

"I thought he said she was mousy?" Pogue continued to watch the situation unfold. She stood up and shoved Reid backwards. Reid getting shut down was always funny watch which was why Pogue couldn't help but laugh.

Regardless of what Tyler knew he couldn't help but laugh also.

"I never get tired of that." When the girl tried to walk off Reid grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. At that Pogue expected Reid to graduate to getting slapped but the girl didn't move or even try to pull away. After a few moments she sat down and he sat down next to her. "I thought you said he's just been checking her out. He seems like he knows her."

"Well he's talked to her a couple of times." Tyler lied and continued to look at Reid and the girl, hoping Pogue wouldn't realize he wasn't telling the truth.

A figure stood in front of her and without even looking up she knew who it was. Regardless of that fact her breathing still picked up when she saw him staring down at her. "What do you want?"

"You say that like me being here is a bad thing."

"Well let's see, within the past week you've teased me, scared me, and kissed me when I've told you not too." For a moment Breanna thought she might have taken it too far but he smirked at her. Regardless of the fact that she was trying to make him like her by being hard to get she still couldn't help but get angry by the look on his face. Without thinking of the repercussions she stood up, pushed him away, and tried to walk off. His hand on her wrist stopped her though.

Reid knew some kind of retaliation was coming after his behavior over the past few days. When he grabbed her wrist he expected her to hit him. Luckily it never came. "Okay, so I haven't been very nice. You must have liked something though. You don't usually kiss people you don't like do you?" She glared at him but didn't try to pull away. "Just sit down. Because if you don't I'll follow you and then we'll be alone again and you know what happens when we're alone." There had been a frown on her face but he could see she was fighting not to smile.

"Fine." Breanna plopped back onto the bench and looked around the campus while trying to control the nervousness that was beginning to take over. "So what do you want?"

"Nothing." Reid shrugged and sat next to her.

"That's what you said this morning and then…." Finally she forced herself to look at him and found him watching her with those same eyes that made her uncomfortable. She always felt liked he was looking through her for something.

"You can't say I kissed you?" She turned away again and he watched her with amusement.

"Well it doesn't matter. Because it isn't going to happen again. You can't just go around kissing people you hardly know."

"So if I knew you then it would be different?"

Breanna turned to him in shock. She hadn't expected him to get that out of her statement. Breanna suspected that he really didn't want to know her and was more interested in other things. "What? No. I mean-."

"I know what you mean. So if I need to get to know you to kiss you how about you be dressed for eight. I'll swing by your room and collect you." With that he stood up and began to walk away.

"Wait!" Breanna stood up. "You can't just tell me where I'm going and when!"

"Are you saying no?"

Something in her wanted to just to be spiteful but when it came down to it she really didn't want to say no. "Do I at least get to know where I am going?" He smiled and she had the urge to hit him again.

"A bar." With that he turned again and headed back to Pogue and Tyler. When he noticed them watching him he frowned. When he reached the table he glared at them and dared them to question him. Tyler didn't have the nerve but Pogue did.

"You know if Caleb saw you talking to her he'd flip."

"Well he'll have to deal with it. She's coming with me tonight." For a moment there was silence and Reid just wanted one of them to start an argument. Instead Pogue smiled.

"I thought she was mousy?" Pogue knew the look on Reid's face and knew he was looking for a fight. At this point Pogue wasn't in the mood to deal with Reid's temper tantrums though and decided to let it drop.

During Breanna's raid of her closet she wished she'd had more girl friends growing up or at least a decent room mate. Her room mate's boyfriend was down the hall, which meant she was never in her own room. It was probably best though. With the secrets that Breanna had she needed to be alone.

When she did decide on what to where she settled on a sweater, jeans, and boots. It was cold and misty out which meant she wasn't forced with the decision of wearing anything revealing. It was before eight when there was a knock at her door. She opened to door and wanted to roll her eyes. He looked almost exactly like he usually did. She was glad she hadn't put to much effort into getting ready. "Hey."

"Ready?" Reid looked down to her sock clad feet and back up to her face.

Breanna just shook her head, walked back to her bed, and sat down to put her boots on. "You could say hello."

"Why be predictable." She didn't respond to him that time which was slightly disappointing. He waited in silence while she pulled on her boots and zipped them up.

Breanna tried to resist a groan when she stood up. Not having much of a social life meant that she didn't dress up for anyone often and didn't wear painful shoes. The heels were high enough that she could feel the pressure building on her feet. "Alright, lets go."

Reid opened to door and held a hand out. "After you."

Even though the words were courteous there was still something teasing behind them that annoyed the hell out of her. It was ridiculous that she could actually like a person that was as infuriating as he was.

It had only been school uniforms that he'd seen her in up to now. When she walked out the room in front of him he couldn't resist watching her backside with a smile. After she locked the door they walked down the hall in silence. He was beginning to think he was crazy being attracted to her. She was much to shy for his taste. "You're nervous aren't you?"

At first she didn't want to admit it but considering she really had no one else to talk to she decided to give in. "I don't get out often."

"Well if you didn't always have that nose of yours stuck in a book."

She looked up at him with the beginnings of anger but there was a joking smile on his face and she decided to drop it. "Well there is that. I was home schooled too."

That did finally begin to explain her shy standoffish attitude. Reid almost shook his head at what he'd gotten himself into. "This counts as me getting to know you right?" She looked up at him and it was the first time that he'd ever seen her actually laugh.

"It's not that easy." He opened the door and she stepped outside into the cold air.

"Yea, I've noticed." She didn't look back at him but he glanced over at her and noticed the smile on her face.

There was a black truck outside the gate to the school with three people standing out front. Breanna's heart began to pound a little faster. She was just getting to know Reid and that was bad enough. The prospect of having to meet other people was unnerving. She knew a lot about the others but that wasn't enough to make her comfortable around them.
