Sorry I took sooo long with this chapter… School's a bitch and that's all I can say... Even with days off, there's still a lot to do… Hopefully the fact that this is the longest chapter I wrote for this story will make up for my prolonging your wait for it..

I own nothing but my OCs…

The next morning, Kelsey and Brooke were in the lobby, waiting for Reid and Tyler, when Kate and Sarah came downstairs. "He's being overdramatic." Kate said to Sarah as she rolled her eyes. "He's your boyfriend and he's jealous, Kate." She said, spotting Kelsey and Brooke and rushing over to them. "Tell her she's being overdramatic." Sarah said to Kelsey as the other girls greeted one another. "Being overdramatic is kinda Kate's thing." Brooke said, smiling at her former roommate. Kelsey laughed and turned towards Kate. "What's the problem?" She asked, not really sure how she could help her, seeing as she just met Kate a few days ago. "Pogue doesn't want me hanging out with Chase anymore." She said, and Kelsey nodded. "He says that Chase wants to be more than friends." Brooke looked over at Kelsey, not sure how she was gonna react. Kelsey had just started getting over Pogue a few hours ago and hearing about the relationship that killed all hope for her might not be best for her at the moment.

Kelsey took a deep breath and looked at Kate. "I get some creepy vibes whenever Chase is around me, so personally, I don't recommend anyone being around him. Especially with no one else around." She said and Sarah, Brooke and Kate laughed. "But you know as well as I do that Pogue is extremely territorial. All the guys are. And if they feel like someone starts moving in on what's theirs, they'll fight for it. When things start getting physical between Pogue and Chase, that's when you have a problem, but until then, at least try and take what he says into consideration." Kelsey said and Kate nodded. "Thanks, Kels." She said and started walking away.

"We're going to get breakfast before class starts. You guys wanna come?" Sarah asked, backwards walking towards the door. "We're waiting for Reid and Tyler." Brooke said and Sarah nodded. "But I do wanna hang out with you since you are kinda dating my brother." Kelsey said to Sarah. "Mall?" Sarah suggested and Kelsey nodded. "Shopping sounds fun. Tomorrow after classes?" Kelsey suggested and Sarah smiled. "See you in class." She said before waving and turning to catch up with Kate.

"I'm proud of you, Kels." Brooke said, turning to her and putting her arm around her. "You could've sabotaged their relationship and you didn't." Kelsey chuckled ad shrugged. "That thought crossed my mind, but I decided not to. There's no reason for me to break them up." Kelsey said and Brooke smiled. "That's very mature." Brooke said and Kelsey nodded. "I know. The bitch could've said goodbye though after I gave her such good advice." She said and they both laughed, only to be interrupted by someone clearing their throat behind them.

"Hello ladies." They heard, making both Brooke and Kelsey instantly roll their eyes in disgust. "Abbott." Brooke said not turning to acknowledge him. "Hello to you too, Brooke." He said and Brooke cringed at the way he said her name. "And look who finally decided to grace us with her presence." He said and Kelsey turned towards him, folding her arms across her chest as she did. "What the hell do you want, Aaron?" She asked, feeling the anger of being around him run through her body. "Just to talk. Calm down, Kelsey." Aaron said and both girls rolled their eyes. "So I hear that you have a little thing going on with a certain blonde we both know." He said. Kelsey, even though she was thrown off by the fact that he was right, maintained her composure. "Yup. Me and Brooke couldn't deny our feelings for one another any longer." Kelsey said and Brooke laughed. "Nice. But that's not who I meant and you know it." Aaron said. Kelsey was about to respond, but was stopped when she heard voices from behind her and Brooke.

"Is there a reason your bothering them, Aaron?" Tyler asked stepping in between Brooke and Kelsey. Reid appeared by Kelsey's side and looked questioningly at Aaron. "We were just talking. Was I bothering you two?" Aaron asked, making Brooke and Kelsey look at one another and nod. "Everything you do either bothers or annoys people at one time or another." Brooke said and Kelsey laughed. "This is true. Although the only non annoying thing you do is breath." She said and the others laughed. "You still didn't answer the question, Kelsey. Even though I already know the answer. Aaron said and Kelsey stopped laughing. "Which is…" She said and Aaron took out his phone. "Wouldn't you rather me show you instead of tell you?" He asked, handing Kelsey his phone, revealing a picture of Reid and her kissing from the night before. "Don't bother deleting it. It's already viral." he said. "By now, I'm guessing the entire school has seen it." "How did you get this?" Kelsey asked, examining the picture very closely. "Kira has a friend who lives across the hall from Tyler and Reid. She snapped it and sent it to her." Aaron said, making Reid chuckle and take the phone out of Kelsey's hand. "You sent it to the entire school?" He asked and Aaron nodded. "Kira did actually." he said and Kelsey tensed up. "Fine." Reid said, handing Aaron back the phone and shocking Aaron. "You don't care that its all over the school?" He asked and Reid shook his head. "Go before I make you go." He said, and Brooke waved him off.

"What took you guys so long?" Brooke asked and Tyler looked over at Reid. "SOMEONE overslept this morning." He said and Reid smiled. "Has anyone checked their phones yet this morning? You know to see if it was really sent to everyone." He asked and everyone shook their heads no. "I'll check mine now." Brooke said, taking her phone out her purse and opening her message. "I got it." She said, showing the message to the three of them. "You okay with that, Kels?" She asked, and Kelsey nodded. "Are you?" Kelsey asked, turning to face Reid. "I'm actually kinda glad its out there." Reid said, putting his arm around Kelsey and the four of them started walking towards the parking lot. "It saves me the trouble of having to tell Caleb about this. He's gonna be mad as hell though." Kelsey nodded and took her phone out her bag, looking at the many messages on her phone. "Caleb's already mad. And he's not the only one." She said, going through the messages. "What do you mean?" Brooke asked, looking at Kelsey's phone when they got to Tyler's car. "Caleb, Pogue, Henry and a whole lot of other people have been blowing up my phone, texing me about this picture." Kelsey sighed got in the car. "I'll deal with them later, I actually wanna enjoy my breakfast." She said, closing the door behind her and they drove off campus for food.


After breakfast, the four of them walked into their first period class and were immediately met with glares. They separated, going to their usual seats, trying to ignore the murmurs and whispers as they walked pass, most likely about the picture of Kelsey and Reid. "It's like being famous." Brooke whispered to Kelsey and she laughed. "True. With stalkerazzi watching your every move." She said and Brooke nodded. "Big Brother's watching you." Brooke said sing-songlingly as they stopping walking when they got to their seats. "So you and Reid, huh?" A voice behind her said, startling both girls as they turned around, revealing Chase standing behind them. "Chase, you scared the hell out of us." Brooke said, laughing off the fear she felt a moment ago. Chase smiled at them both and ran his hand through his hair. "Sorry about that." He said and Kelsey and Brooke both nodded. "I didn't know you were seeing Reid." He said as Kelsey and Brooke sat down. "Well, we're just starting…" she said, but stopped herself when Caleb came down the stairs and stopped in front of her, making Chase walk away to an empty seat, not wanting to involve himself in the current situation.

"You and Reid?" Caleb said in a hushed tone, but the anger still evident in his voice. "Caleb, I don't wanna…" Kelsey started but Caleb put his hand up. "You're not doing it. Your not dating Reid." He said and Kelsey stood up. "I don't need your permission to date Reid and I sure as hell don't have to listen to anything you say. Your not my father and our alcoholic mother couldn't care less about what I do or who I do it with. I don't tell you who to date so you don't have the right to tell me." Kelsey said and Caleb shook his head. "Reid is just doing this to get back at me. He's using you, Kels." Caleb said and Kelsey chuckled. "Why is it so hard for you to believe that Reid might actually not have some major devious plan to get under your skin? He's always the first person you blame, throw under the bus, or think the worse of for anything and everything and it's not fair." Caleb wiped his hands over his face in frustration. "Now your defending him?" He asked and Kelsey chuckled. "When have I not, Caleb?"

Brooke looked on in fascination as the two siblings continued their argument in hushed tones so not everyone could hear what they were saying. "How long has this been going on?" Caleb asked, quickly glancing over at Reid, who'd been staring at them the entire time. "A few days, Caleb. That's all. You're overreacting." Kelsey said, rolling her eyes in frustration. "I'm overreacting? You're dating Reid, Kelsey. Reid. Why him?" Kelsey folded her arms across her chest. "Because I like him. And the only reason your acting this way is because it's Reid. If it were anyone else, you wouldn't be going berserk like you are." Caleb shook his head in disagreement. "That's a lie, Kels." Kelsey tilted her head to the side and looked at her brother questioningly. "Really, Cay? So, if I were to tell you that I was dating… Tyler, you'd be doing the same thing your doing now?" She asked and Caleb didn't say anything. "Or if I told you that me and Pogue were together, you'd be telling me not to date him like your trying to do with me and Reid?" She asked right as Pogue walked over towards them. "Those are two completely different situations, Kels and you know it." Caleb said and Kelsey let out a frustrated laugh. "It's only different because YOU say it is, Caleb! You'd be fine with me dating anyone but Reid. Just admit it!" She said as their teacher entered the room. "Everyone take your seats, please." He said and Caleb headed up the stairs. "We're not done yet, Kels." He said, quickly turning to Kelsey and watching her nod before continuing back to his seat. "So Reid was the guy who asked you out?" Pogue whispered in Kelsey's ear and she nodded. "And now you two are dating?" He asked. "Yes. And unlike you, he has no problem with other people knowing that." Kelsey said, taking her books out her bag.

"Kelsey…" Pogue started but was cut off by their teacher clearing his throat. "Your seat, Mr. Parry." He said, pointing to the empty seat next to Caleb. Pogue nodded to the teacher and walked up the seat, anger growing inside of him because Reid did what he couldn't: he manned up and asked Kelsey out, despite the backlash he knew he'd get from Caleb.

"I don't believe he's doing this, man." Caleb whispered to Pogue once he sat down. "Using Kelsey to get back at me? That's too far." Pogue lightly cleared his throat and took his books out his bag. "Maybe he actually likes Kels, Caleb. I mean what's there not to like about her?" He whispered back and Caleb chuckled. "Even if he's not doing this to get back at me, you've seen how he is with girls. And he's not doing that with Kelsey. I won't let him." Caleb said and Pogue nodded. "I won't either." Pogue said, turning his attention towards their teacher and the lesson.


After classes ended that day, everyone separated and went to their after school activities. Cheerleading ended early for Brooke and Kelsey, so they decided to go crash the swim practice, running into Kate and Sarah when they got there. "Hey guys." Sarah said, as the two sat next to them. "Didn't expect to see you two here." Kate said, turning towards them. "Cheerleading ended early." Brooke said and Kelsey nodded. "You're a cheerleader?" Sarah asked, looking at Kelsey and she just nodded. "She practically begged me to join the squad." Kelsey said and Brooke laughed. "She did gymnastics for years, so it's practically the same stuff and you know you love it. So stop complaining." Brooke said and Kelsey held her hands up in defeat. "Yes Oh Fearless captain." She said and Sarah, Brooke and Kelsey laughed. "So I didn't know you and Reid were a thing." Kate said to Kelsey. "Well, we just started a few days ago." Kelsey said and Kate nodded. "I can totally see you two together. I mean at first, I thought you had a thing for Pogue, but now I know you and Reid have something going on." Kelsey and Brooke both nervously laughed it off and turned towards the water, seeing Caleb and Chase both dive in.

"Are they racing or something?" Brooke asked and the other three girls shrugged. "Looks like it." Sarah said. A few minutes later, Chase emerged from the water and Caleb seemed to be sinking deeper into the pool. Pogue quickly dived in the water and Kelsey and Sarah rushed from the bleachers over to where the rest of the boys were. Pogue pulled Caleb out the water and everyone circled around him, waiting for him to regain consciousness. "What happened?" Caleb asked when he finally came to. "You blacked out under water." Pogue said and Reid chuckled. "Right after Chase kicked your ass." He added and Kelsey hit his arm. "You okay, man?" Tyler asked as Pogue helped him up. "Yeah, I think so." Caleb said and their coach walked over to them. "Well, we're gonna end practice early just to make sure." He said, sending the boys into the locker room.

About 10 minutes later, Caleb walked over to his car and Kelsey was standing there waiting. "You sure you're okay?" she asked and Caleb nodded. "I know you're mad at me, for reasons I don't understand, but you're still my brother, Cay." Kelsey said and Caleb smiled. "I know, Kels." He said and she smiled. "So besides the obvious, what's bothering you? Because it's unlike you to blackout underwater, big brother." She asked, knowing her brother all to well. "Someone used on me." He said, and Kelsey sighed. "If you say it was Reid, Caleb…" She started and Caleb shook his head. "No, it wasn't Reid this time, Kels." He said and Kelsey got confused. "Then who do you think it was?" She asked and Caleb sighed. "Chase."
