The first day of school started off slow. Onyx, Kate and Sarah quickly got dressed and at 8:30 headed out of the door. Reid and Pogue were waiting outside the door patiently, pulling at their ties and collars.
"I hate these uniforms!" Reid grunted. "Morning babe. What do you say to switching to a public school? No more uniform!"
Onyx rolled her eyes. "I am not speaking to you!" Stomping pass him. Kate, Sarah and Pogue watched in amusement.
"What the hell did I do?" Reid asked, following her.
"You kept me up all night!" Onyx walked outside and started for the school building.
"You were the one who wanted to sneak off to Baby Boys truck." Reid smirked wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
"But I didn't want to wake up there." Onyx grumbled.
"Come on, Elf. Lets go achieve some education." Reid laughed, leading his girlfriend to the school.
They parted ways to go to their separate classes. Onyx strutted down the hall. Working her natural badass catwalk, she put on her evil face when passing Aaron and his cronies. Of course, they didn't make eye contact with her because of Caleb's warning from the previous night. Onyx turned the corner only to be stopped by a towering figure. "Hey Chase." Onyx smiled up the giant. Well, actually most of the boys in school were giants to her. "On your way to class?"
"Yeah, having some trouble finding my class." He chuckled, scratching the back of his neck.
"No prob." Onyx took his schedule out his hands. "You have Richmond. Thats the way that I'm going, come on." Onyx walked normal down the hall. The night before last her and Chase were kinda hitting it off well. She felt bad for using him. But she didn't want to give him any reason for him to think she was trying to be sexy. Reid would not only kill her but Chase as well.
Chase followed quietly behind her until asking her. "So you and Reid huh?"
Onyx turned her head to take a quick peak at him. She couldn't help blush. "Yeah its been almost a year now."
"But I thou-"
"No, he didn't notice what he had." Onyx said hurriedly. "It wasn't until he thought I was getting a little to friendly with you, that he realized that I could have anyone I wanted."
"I thought we were getting friendly too." Chase mumbled.
"What? You thought?" Onyx shook her head in faux surprise. "No, Chase. I was trying to make you feel comfortable… not that comfortable."
"Oh, I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable." Chase said, scratching the back of his neck.
"Like I said before, no prob." Onyx laughed. She stuck out her hand. "Friends?"
"Um yeah, sure, Friends." He replied, shaking her hand. They continued to walk down the hall.
"Well, this is your class. See ya." Onyx turned the corner and finally continued her catwalk. Walking through the doors, Onyx took her seat with Joanne. "Hello, Professor Barone." Onyx batted her eyes at the elderly Italian geology professor. "How was your summer?"
"Quite well." The professor chuckled, not noticing Onyx adoring looks. "Spent time in Spain and Hawaii. A little warmth for these old bones."
"Glad, you had a good time." Onyx replied as she watched her teacher walk to the door and greet the other students. "Isn't he adorable, Joanne?"
"Um yeah, in a 'Grandpa I love your suspenders' type of way." Joanne looked as though she was going to be sick. Ever since last year when they first laid eyes on the anorexic, bald headed, little white man, Onyx fell madly in faux love with him. Joanne thought she was going to be sick but… If it made Onyx happy.
"No, he's so cute." Onyx said her doe eyes growing larger. She plopped her head in her hands staring adoringly at Barone.
Joanne was having trouble with her gag reflex when she mumbled out. "This is going to be a long year."

Reid sat in class, ignoring all the teacher was saying. He was thinking about Onyx. His elf. They had been out in the open for three days now. Reid always underestimated the power that Onyx held in Spenser. Not one girl had tried to flirt with him. And it seemed like every guy that looked at him was holding in some amount of pent up anger. Reid chuckled on the inside. He was literally dating the most popular girl in Ipswich. But he was happy. More happy than he had ever been in his entire life. Onyx was a breath of fresh air. She was wild and free, just like him. Adorable and cute. She was kind and understanding. Blunt and Sarcastic. Of course, she was a bit of a brat. That trait came from being the youngest only girl. Like the stunt she pulled last night. Onyx cried her little heart out to get him and the boys to not commit murder. Shaking his head, he pulled out his phone and began texting.
To Onyx
'Having fun appraising Barone?'
Reid knew that Onyx had a big crush on the science professor. She use to babble on and on about him last year. Onyx was clearly blind. Maybe she thought Reid was a muscular old looking dude.
'I am, he's like the shorter version of you!'
From Onyx
What the hell? Did she just call him a skinny bald headed old guy?
To Onyx
'Im taking you to the doctor.'
His girlfriend was insane. Not that he didn't know that but… wow.
'No, I meant when your old and helpless. Your going to be so adorable!'
From Onyx

The day continued to be as boring as when it started. It wasn't until Onyx, Kate, Joanne and Sarah were walking down the hall laughing and giggling did things get interesting. Kira, followed by her lackeys, stepped in front of the group. "Hey guys, may I have word with Onyx?"
"How about you ask the lady in question?" Onyx said pushing past Kira.
"Well I wanted to talk to you about our boyfriend." Kira said smugly.
"Who? Reid?" Onyx rolled her eyes. "I don't know what this obsession with the Sons of Ipswich is but you need to end it. They. Hate. You. Reid hates you the most."
"Oh Onyx stop pretending that your end all, be all. You saw Reid and I making out near the locker rooms."
"Kira I also saw him push you away. His back was facing me, that means he didn't see me. Face it, none of my boys like you. At least you have Aaron to hang off of." Onyx turned to walk away again but Kira would have non of it.
"How can you be so sure that Reid id completely committed to you?" Kira said turning red.
"Other than the fact that we've been going together for a year?" Onyx pulled off her fingerless gloves and thrusted out the ring that Reid had given her two nights ago. "He gave me a promise ring."
Kira's eyes went wide. The Onyx ring with the diamond scrawled Reid made her squint. "A promise ring?"
"You know a promise ring? Guy gives it to his girlfriend to show that they are going to be together forever? He gave it to me the night of the party. To prove that he wasn't interested in you."
"Well-" Kira started again but was cut off by Onyx.
"Oh please get over it, so that we can go to lunch! I'm little… I need nutrition!" Onyx giggled. She turned and continued to walk. The group of girls laughed and turned the corner and continued their way to lunch.
Conveniently, the Sons were waiting for the girls at the door. Reid sauntered over to Onyx and wrapped an arm around her. "You know, I'm starting to like this whole 'Onyx doesn't jump into a fight a soon as someone insults her.' I mean really babe, I've never seen a girl as violent as you use to be."
"Actually, I'm done with the repeated fights." Onyx said walking through the door that Tyler was holding. "Those fights were to demand respect. And now, I have the most respect in the school."
"What are you going to do about Kira?" Kate asked in distaste.
"I'm going to kick her ass." Onyx shrugged.
Sarah stared at her weirdly. "Wouldn't that be redundant?"
"No" Onyx said tossing her bag on the lunch table. "Kira is an exception. She is going to continue until I put my foot down… On her. Then she'll start up again."
"Hey Chase!" Caleb yelled to the entrance doors. "Come sit with us!" Both Reid and Pogue ground their teeth,pulling their girlfriends to the lunch line.
"Golden boy… always lending a helping hand." Reid growled, behind Onyx.
"I really don't like that guy!" Pogue muttered.
"C'mon Pogue, stop being jealous!" Kate laughed. "Caleb was just trying to make Chase feel welcome."
"Reid, I really don't know what your problem is." Onyx said with raised eyebrows. "Chase has done nothing to you."
Reid rolled his eyes. "Nothing but ask me and the boys fifty million questions about you in class today."
"What?" Onyx turned, to face him. "Your kidding!"
Both boys spit out that that was the truth, even Kate nodded her head. "Before you got to the cinema, Chase asked me about you. I told him about that you were serious with Reid."
"Well, thats awkward." Onyx said not meeting the eyes of her brother, boyfriend, or best friend. She hated when guys (Other than the Sons) gave them her attention. Not that she would tell anyone except for the boys but Onyx didn't believe that she was as pretty as everyone made her out to be. Onyx hid behind hair playing on her phone making it seem as though she was preoccupied. Reid was standing behind Onyx so he didn't notice the embarrassment clouding her face. Pogue and Kate distracted themselves. Walking back to the table, Onyx still hid her face. The table thrived and laughed, except for Onyx who continued to pretend that she was on her phone. She threw in comments, gave her opinions but kept to herself most of the time.
Reid leaned on Onyx from laughing so hard at a joke that Tyler had told. "Babe, babe… did you hear what Baby Boy said?" Reid peaked over her shoulder, looking at her phone.
"No, I'm- I'm playing a game." Onyx lied. She didn't know but Reid could see that Onyx was still on her home screen.
He leaned into her ear. "Oh really?" Onyx tensed up, knowing that she had been caught. Looking up at Reid's raised eyebrow. "Whats wrong, Elf?" he whispered. She shook her head, looking back down. Reid clear his throat. "Me and Baby Girl are going to the Vending Machine. Anybody want anything?" After getting the list, Reid pulled Onyx up and across the cafeteria. "Now tell me… Whats wrong?"
"Forget it Reid, I was just being-"
"Don't tell me you were being stupid."
"I hate getting the attention that I do." Onyx said turning away from him and hitting buttons on the vending machine. "Why do boys act like I'm this perfect specimen. Kira's right I'm not end all, be all."
Reid hadn't said anything. "This is what your upset about?"
"I told you that I-"
"Your not being stupid!" Reid ran a hand down his face. "I just don't understand why you don't see what we see."
"Reid, I'm not calling myself ugly I'm just saying that… that there are a lot of prettier girls in Spenser. Why give me all the attention?"
"There is no girl on earth, prettier than you." Reid said wrapping an arm around her. Moving her hair out of the way, he kissed her neck. "You are so beautiful."
Onyx giggled. She had finished getting the gangs snacks. "Reid, stop… we're in school!"
"I don't care. And I mean it Onyx. You are so pretty." Reid laughed into her neck.
"Your making me blush!" She hissed.
"Thats wrong because?"
"I don't want people to know that I have feelings." Onyx mumbled. Reid didn't stop his actions.
"Mmm. I like how your feeling." He sighed. His hands glided down her arms and around her waist. Onyx and Reid felt a slight push of power. Reid groaned, dropping his hands and leaning his head on hers. "Your brother is such a cockblocker."
Onyx giggled. "We better get back." She peaked back at their lunch table to find Pogue looking at them with a red puce face. Taking Reid's hand, Onyx strutted back to the table.
Reid started mumbling under his breath.
"What?" Onyx said taking her seat next to Kate.
"Nothing" Reid answered, glaring at Pogue. "I was just saying I wish I could have gotten some at the vending machine." He said, smirking.
"Gotten what?!" Pogue said turning a nasty shade of pinkish green.
"Cake of course!" Reid laughed throwing an arm around Onyx shoulder.
"Reid, leave him alone." Onyx laughed.

Onyx left the boys to go to the locker room. She walked to the locker that she shared with Kate and began to change into her bathing suit. Onyx didn't have a lot of friends in the female population. Only Kate, Joanne, and Sarah. The girls in Spenser acted as if they were afraid of Onyx. It didn't make sense since she was nice to most of them. Still, Onyx did feel lonely when it came to the girls locker room and girls bathroom. These places were places where girls bonded and broke. Onyx never experienced these feelings since her entire life she was surrounded by boys. From her father to her boyfriend, Onyx didn't have the same issues as other girls. She didn't need to complain about her sister stealing her clothes or her boyfriend. The only thing that the boys stole was her peace of mind, and Onyx could hardly talk to the other girls about the Sons throwing kegs at each other.
Onyx took off her jewelry but stopped holding her mothers locket between her fingers. It had been eleven years since her mothers death. Since Pogue's biological mother forced her to kill herself. Onyx felt tears sting her eyes. Before she realized what was happening, Onyx felt the necklace being snatched out of her hand. "Ooh, is this another one of your gifts from Reid?" Kira laughed dangling the locket in front of her eyes. "Oud Africanus magikē? What the hell is that?"
"Give it back!" Onyx demanded, taking off the promise ring so that she could punch Kira in the mouth.
Kira held the locket higher."Come and get it." She smirked.
Onyx pulled her hair back."Kira we both know I'm going to knock shit out of you! I'm giving you one. More. Chance." The other girls in the locker room were crowding the corners and looking at the scene before them.
Kira rolled her eyes, turned and ran out the door with the locket trailing behind her. Onyx was hot on her heels. Kira continued to run, laughing. Onyx ran faster, however she was still short, she wasn't as fast as Kira. Kira ran into the hallway. Onyx didn't care that she was standing in the hallway in her bathing suit and sweats. She didn't care that she might get detention for not being in appropriate uniform. Onyx was going to get her mothers locket back. To her luck Kate, Sarah and Joanne was in the hall, she was in the direction that Kira was running. Seeing Onyx running after her, Kate and Joanne caught up with her. "What the hell, Onyx?"
"She has my mothers locket!" Onyx said starting to slow down from being tired. Kate on the other hand, being the tall athletic goddess she was dropped her bag and ran down the hall. Sarah grabbed her bags and began to run as well. Joanne cut the corner and disappeared from sight. Both Kate and Onyx ran past the boys who began running behind them. Kira had turned the corner then disappeared but she was thrown back. Joanne was on top of her trying to grip the locket out of her tight fist. Joanne then began to grow impatient, so she began to pound Kira in her head repeatedly. Seeing that Kira had been caught Onyx and Kate skidded to a stop. Tyler ran past them and pulled Joanne off of the slut.
Pogue grabbed Kate, she struggled against him. "I'm gonna BEAT THAT BITCHES ASS!" Reid tried to grab Onyx but she was much quicker than him.
Kira made to make a break a for it but she didn't get to run far enough when she was pulled back by the hair by Onyx. Onyx swung her around connect her fist with the girls face. She then proceeded to slam the girl on the floor. Onyx wrapped Kira's long hair around her wrist for a strong hold and pulled both hands toward Kira's tight fist. Why didn't she want to give it up? Since Kira's hair was knitted around Onyx arm, every time Onyx pulled and tugged at the fist, Kira's head jerked in that direction. Reid had finally gotten a good grip on his little girlfriend and pulled her up. Onyx wasn't going to give in. When pulled her away her hand was still smothered with Kira's hair so she decided to push away, pull her foot back and then while tugging Kira back by the hair, Onyx kicked her in the face. Finally the locket dropped into her hand.
Onyx then let Reid carry her away. "Lets get you out of here, before the teacher comes." Kate was still screaming and Joanne continued to struggle but instead of screaming she growled out curses. The boys carried them out the doors of the school building and across in front of the dorms. Pogue, Tyler, and Reid put down the girls, Caleb gave the girls a stern look and Sarah stood on the side looking scared and lost.
"What the hell was that?!" Caleb yelled at the three girls.
"The bitch had it coming." Kate said darkly.
"You didn't have to jump her." Tyler mumbled.
"We didn't jump her." Onyx grumbled. "Joanne and I clearly beat her up at different times."
Reid pulled Onyx to him, examining her for bruises. "You seem calm. What did she do to make you beat her up like that."
Onyx opened her hand and allowed the locket to dangle off her middle finger. "She took it and wouldn't give it back."
Joanne nodded her head. "When I was trying to rip it from her, she wouldn't open her hand. Even when I started pounding on her."
Sarah shook her head. "You kicked Kira in the face for some locket?"
Onyx sighed, understanding that Sarah was new to the clique. "It was my mothers locket."
"So-?" Sarah began but was cut off by Onyx.
"Caleb get your new girlfriend the hell away from me." Sarah looked taken aback but consented when Caleb pulled her back toward the school.
Kate shook her head. "So what are you going to do when your Dad gets here? He's going to kill you. It's the first day of school!"
"Oh well!" Onyx grumbled. "I'm going back to the dorms until they call our extension."
"I'll come with you." Reid said as Onyx led him upstairs.
"Joanne I suggest you head to your dorms and wait too." Onyx said over her shoulder. Kate and Pogue walked back to the school.
The walk to Onyx room was silent. They sat on her bed and stared out the window.
"I wonder why she wanted it so bad." Reid asked taking the locket out of her hands and putting it in her rightful place around her neck.
"I don't know. But I do know that it was bullying." Onyx growled. She touched the locket and felt the tears forming in her eyes.
"I remember her, you know." Reid said looking down as he brought op the touchy subject. "Your mom, I remember everything about her. I actually had this huge crush on her."
Onyx laughed. "I remember that too. Tyler said that you were going to marry her. I remember you crying and hugging my moms leg begging her to marry you." Onyx shook her head. "You better not be dating me to fill that void."
"I don't know…" Reid said in a joking uneven tone. He laughed and wrapped his arms around his girlfriend. "God, your dad is going to kill you. Its only the first day of school."
"Not this time. He's knows how much this locket means to me. Just like I know how much this locket means to him."
"I guess We'll just have to wait and see." Reid mumbled into her hair, drifting off to sleep.
