Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN anything but Cassie.
Summery: Cassie Delaney is attending Spencer Academy on a scholarship and is instantly taken under the wing of none other then Reid Garwin. Their friendship causes her to become friends with the other sons and as her feelings towards Tyler grows, she can't help but wonder it they're keeping something from her. Something huge.
Laughter filled the room, echoing through out the house, it came at different octaves. Some rather deep while others were high pitched, it was uncontrollable but it felt good. Laughing felt good.
Cassie held her stomach, head leaning against the back couch as she watched the video, it all seemed funny to her. The way they talked, the looks on their faces. Who would have thought, that the Sons of Ipswich could be so hilarious, but then again in the clip she was watching they were rather young. She looked over at each boy, the looks of horror and amusement etched onto their faces.
Pogue looked mortified that his mother had caught that on tape but at the same time, he had a smile on his face, as if also glad to have that memory with him forever. His brown hair, the color of chestnut with streaks of blond looked darker under the dim light, his piercing hazel eyes were focused solely on the TV.
Caleb had his arm wrapped around Sarah, who sat nestled against him, his black hair, the color of choral was slightly disheveled, the intensity in his dark, dark eyes made her feel something, it was as if there was something, something he wasn't telling her. He bit his bottom lip, a long, lean finger brushing away an invisible speck of turn on his golden, tan skin. She was jealous, jealous that some boy could have that nice of skin. It was naturally that color, unfair really because she had tried for so long to get her skin that color.
Reid was sitting on the far couch, a look of curiosity filling those dark, blue eyes of his. It seemed that every time she looked into them, an image of ice seemed to form in her mind. They were that color of blue, icy blue. He had one hand propped under his chin while his head was slightly titled to the side as if he was examining the TV, every once and a while a smile pulling at his slim, pale lips. Cassie had to wonder if he had always been the way he was now? A man whore, someone who didn't date, she wondered if he had ever had a girlfriend?
The last was- Tyler. Innocent, shy, adorable Tyler. Except she knew he was the complete opposite. Underneath his shell he was not innocent, he was not shy and he was hardly adorable. Tyler was Hot, he was funny and he was sneaky. She just wished that she could get to know that side of him, the side that all his other friends saw. He let out a laugh, his head falling backwards as he watched the TV screen in amusement. Cassie watched, mesmerized by the fact that he did not have a girlfriend, how could someone who looked like-that, not have someone?
Cassie sat up as the screen went blue, indicating that the short film was in fact done. The lights slowly grew brighter, illuminating everything. People blinked, letting their vision readjust and once everyone had gathered themselves, Caleb and Pogue rose to their feet, both tall and broad shouldered.
The eldest boy glanced around the room before landing on the girls, who looked back at him, waiting for his instructions. He gave Sarah a white, toothed smile causing her to grin. The connection they had made Cassie feel somewhat jealous because she had never been good in that department, both her old boyfriends had something wrong with them. She had been unable to find someone that had good values, both of them had been assholes, just guys wanting a girl to get a free fuck from whenever they wanted but she was glad that her relationship with each one of them had ended.
"Okay so guys," Caleb spoke. "We are going to gather a bunch of stuff, pillow, blankets and whatever then bring it downstairs so we can all sleep in one room. There we can watch a few movies before going to bed."
"Okay." Everyone said at once, then without another word they all got up and went in different directions except Cassie who tagged along with Reid, him leading the way up the grand staircase that led to a narrow hallway at the second floor. Large, white doors could be seen down the hallway, each separated by a good 5 meters. He showed her down the hall and then motioned to the second last one on the right, grasping the silver knob, he turned it, pushing the door open as he did. It swung open, revealing a bright, cream colored room, a large window giving the room light. The bed looked to be king size, plush pillows placed neatly on the top, an expensive comforter covering, mostly likely, silk sheets.
"Wow," Cassie whispered. "This is beautiful."
"Most rooms are like it." Reid stated. "Pogue's mother had all the rooms done by a decorator, making sure they all looked rather fancy."
"So, do you want me to grab anything?"
"Take the pillows, I'll get the blankets." Doing as told, she gathered up some of the pillows from the bed, placing them in a pile then wrapped her arms around them, pulling them into her chest as she lifted. Unable to see where she was going, Cassie stumbled backwards, tripping over her own feet and landing hard on the floor, her butt breaking the fall. Reid stared over at her from his spot across the room, his blue eyes searching for any signs of pain but when she cursed, he only shook his head, silently laughing at her.
"Not funny." She grumbled, once on her feet, she lifted the pillows back into her arm and stretched her head to the side, walking slowly out of the room and back down the hall only to stop as she reached the stairs.
"Just throw them down." Reid instructed. Cassie glanced over the railing, making sure no one was there before tossing each pillow over, watching as it hit the ground softly, bouncing only a few times. Then, when she was done, Cassie raced after Reid, hands having to hold onto the railing to steady herself only a few times.
She picked the pillows back up once again when she reached the bottom only to pass a few over to Pogue who had met up with them on the way to the basement. Cassie stayed silent, listing to the two boys as they joked around, some words being exchanged making her laugh. Reid sent her wink as he passed by, his blond hair once again being hidden by that beanie. She, personally, liked it when he wasn't wearing it because he had really nice hair, for a guy at least. Platinum blond hair that shone under any light, the right length that it sometimes got in his face, giving him a sort of bad boy look to him.
Reid plopped down on the couch, upon entering the large room. He kicked off his shoes, hands going behind his head and he then closed his eyes. She tossed a look at Sarah, who had come down with Caleb, and the look in the blond's eyes meant that they were thinking the same thing, it was a look of mischief.
Bending down, she grabbed a pillow from the ground, the soft material feeling rather heavy in her hands. She walked slowly and quietly around the couch, giving her access to her target. Sarah had gone for the front, then with a single nod both girls went for it, only to have Reid open his eyes at the last second.
Sarah stopped mid swing, her arms locking in place bringing the pillow to a stop. He cocked an eyebrow, lips forming a smirk, still not noticing her behind him. Cassie crouched down, signaling Tyler-who had just entered, not to make a sound about her being there. He simply nodded and placed the pillows he had fetched on the nearest chair, joining Pogue, Caleb and Kate in the corner so they could watch it all go down.
Cassie heard Sarah laugh, the noise sounding weak and then taking a deep breath, she moved, the pillow flying outwards, a thump sounding, meaning it had connected with it's target. Reid whipped around, his eyes narrowing and she knew from the look in his ice blue eyes that she was in trouble. He shook his head, making the tsk,tsk,tsk, noise mothers gave their kids when they acted bad.
"Baby Doll," He spoke. She gave him a smile, her green eyes full of hope that he wouldn't do anything but when he swung himself over the couch, landing right in front of her, she took a step back, hands raised in front of her.
"Um, Reid." Cassie said. "You aren't going to do anything are you." Reid sent her a smirk, hands behind his back as he stared down at her then she noticed Sarah behind him, the pillow back in the blond's hand. It came flying, hitting Reid square in the butt, he jumped slightly giving her enough time to make her escape. She darted forward, fingers skimming the door knob before she was swept off the ground and into the arms of Reid. He laughed in her ear, the sound overlapping her squeals. She cried out his name when he tossed her over his shoulder, hands playfully punching his back.
"Reid Garwin let me down now!" She pleaded. Reid, who never took orders from anyone, walked around the room a few times before tossing her lightly onto the couch, her head bouncing against the pillows. He took a seat on the ground in front of her, chuckling as she grabbed his beanie from his head and tossed it across the room. "That was not funny." But even as she spoke those words, a small amount of laughter seemed to escape her lips. Everyone was laughing, maybe at her or the way Reid had acted.
"You learn your lesson?" He asked, she gave him a small glare but nodded. She had learned her lesson: never again team up against Reid with only two people. The next time, she was going to make sure that one of the boys were included because they could protect her.
"Nice you two." Kate grinned at them, her eyes focused solely only Cassie though, Cass knew that look too. It was questioning and again, she knew the question. No, her and Reid weren't together, that was what she was hoping her look to Kate said. And, No I don't like him.
Tyler took this time to grab Reid's beanie but instead of giving it to his friend, he gave it to her, a smile playing at his lips. She took it from his hand then pulled it on, flashing a smile to the brunette boy before laughing at Reid, who just raised an eyebrow.
"You look pretty hot in that." Reid teased, she rolled her eyes at him and gave it back, not wanting Tyler to get the wrong impression but she knew it was too late by the way Tyler quickly looked away, hands going into his pockets. She wanted, so much, to jump up and tell him how he was wrong. How there was nothing at all going on between her and Reid. Everyone seemed to think so except the two victims of these rumors.
"Shut up Garwin," She shoved him lightly.
Caleb coughed, bringing the attention away from them and to him. "So, let's set up then we can start our movie day." Cassie watched as everyone did their own thing. Pogue grabbing some blankets and unfolding them, Kate and Sarah slowly sorting out the movies, from first to last in order of them watching. Reid had gone and appeared sliding an already blown up mattress into the room. She noticed a look from Caleb being sent to her new friend, it was the kind of look someone would give to a person if they had done something wrong, very wrong.
Tyler was placing pillows on the ground which gave everyone an idea of the possible spots for sleeping, he kept looking at her though, she guessed he thought that he was doing it sneakily but it was very noticeable.
"Cass." Reid shouted. She blinked, looking over at him. He was holding a glass out towards her. Her water, the one he had drunken out of. Getting up, she took it from him then claimed her spot on the floor which happened to be right in between Tyler and Reid. How had she gotten so lucky, though a part of her was kind of scared to be so close to boys. If her father had found out, she would have been in a lot of trouble.
Cassie jumped when something was tossed at her head, it was soft and light and when she reached up to grab it, a smooth material slid in between her fingers. Looking at it, she realized that it was cloths, her pajamas. They was shorts, very small shorts and a black wife beater that had to belong to a guy since it was to big for either Sarah or Kate.
She looked over at the girls who were all leaving to chance, so getting up she headed after them.
"You should get cozy with Tyler." Kate smiled at her.
"Again," She sighed. "Like I said before, I do not like Tyler." Both girls looked at each other before laughing. "What?"
"You-" Sarah squeaked.
"Don't like-" Kate interrupted.
"Tyler." They said at once, returning to laughing once the words left their mouths. Cassie rolled her eyes, pushing past the so she could continue on but they caught up.
"Come on Cass," Sarah said. "You like him, that's okay."
"No."
"You do." Kate pushed on.
"No, I don't."
"Cass."
"No."
"Admit it."
"I do not like him!"
"Just tell the truth and I will-"
"Fine!" She turned on them. "I like him okay. I don't know why but I do. He's nice and amazingly attractive so yes a million times, I have a crush on him."
"See, it wasn't that hard." Came Reid's voice. She froze, eyes wide and mouth open. She had not meant for him to hear it. That was supposed to be her secret and it was bad enough that Kate and Sarah knew but not him, he was best friends with Tyler and as she turned, she knew that her secret crush on Tyler might not be a secret much longer.
