I woke up early, and had a shower and got dress, in my favourite faded jeans and Abercrombie pink sweater and brushed my teeth, before us girls and Chase went into town to re-stock our rooms.
We found ourselves, in the local drug store, when we ran into Caleb.
'Hey Caleb'
'Hey Kate'
'What ya up to'
'Stocking up our room
'Did you hear about the dead kid?'
'Ya, he lived on Reid and Tyler's floor' and the sound of Reid's name made my head snap up
'Did you know him?'
'No'
'Hey Caleb' I smile
'Hey Aly'
Then Sarah came up behind us
'Hey'
'Hey'
'Boo' Chase said popping in front of me trying to scare me and Kate
'You scared me' Kate laughed
'I'm going to ask Pogue if he wants to see that new Brad Pitt movie later, who else wants to come'
'I will' Chase said willing
'I've already seen it' Sarah said
'I have to run errands for my mother' Caleb said casually
'I'm not really into Brad Pitt' I said hastily
So Sarah and Caleb went to go run errands, and I didn't want to be a third wheel with Caleb and Sarah, I told them I wanted to go back to the dorms to finishing unpacking my clothes.
After I put the last of my clothes in my closet, there was a knock on my door and I went to answer it, was surprised to see Kate and Chase standing outside of my room.
'Hey guys, how was the movie?' I ask
'Good' Kate said 'Now go get ready'
'Why?'
'We're going to Nicky's'
'I'm 16 guys, I can't go'
'No it's ok, I'll get you in no problem' Kate reassured me
'OK then' I nod
At Nicky's:
Kate and Chase were talking about something and Sarah and Caleb were flirting and so at least I could see Reid from here and they wouldn't have anyone notice that I was checking out the older 17 year old.
It looked like Pogue and Tyler and Reid, what looked like a bet and wasn't paying too much attention to either of my new friends.
'What just happened? Sarah wondered out loud after noticing that Pogue had joined Caleb playing pool
'You know boys and their toys' Kate sighed as she looked at Caleb and her boyfriend play foosball
'I guess, but we were having fun and now were watching them have fun'
'Give me a quarter' Sarah asked Kate
'Why?'
'I'm going to how what us girls do for fun'
Then the music started playing
'I love rock and Roll'
The music stopped and Reid and Aaron got into a fight and Caleb and Pogue followed them outside.
After 5 minutes, Reid comes storming in, with Tyler right behind him and glass all over his back, and his facial expression was angry.
I nervously got up and asked Reid what was wrong.
'Aly, I wouldn't' Kate said shaking her head.
'I'll be fine' I said with my eyes still on Reid
'Are you ok Reid?' I asked nervously, not expecting what his reaction was going to be
Reid turned to look at me, and he grabbed my hand and led me outside.
'It's nothing, just me and Caleb had a fight' he said after 2 minutes of silence
'You want to talk about it?'
'It's complicated'
'I know complicated' I smiled
'You're not going to believe me... but swear to me that you're not going to say anything... Not to anyone'
'Don't worry... who'd believe me' I said giving him a reassuring smile
'At thirteen we get our powers but it's more of a test... we fully ascend at 18'
'Wow' is all I could say after he told me bits and pieces of their family history.
I know it's hard to believe, but Reid and I had become closer, and I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not, but for once- I'm going to listen to my heart.
