Bailey felt herself being shook awake
"Bails, Bailey," I heard Jenna anxiously.
"Oh my god, what?" I asked with annyonce very intended
"I totally think...Reid is breaking up with Rachel right now." She said, eavesdropping by our door. I jumped up quickly eager to see.

"Reid, you didnt see anything, I can't believe you are doing this I...thought I was different.
You could hear her and he was staring her down with no emotion but anger.

Reid stiffled a slight chuckle " You were given the chance to be different, and you just thought I would be stupid and go with it , nope, not happening you see I don't hullicinate or lie so if you could get out of my eyesight. Bye now." Reid shut the door in Rachels dumbfounded face, I tried not to smile as she started walking our way and she stared at me.

"Bet you loved that." She muttered.

"Oh we both did" Jenna chirped in, I laughed at shut the door to that.

At lunch period when Reid still hadn't been seen since his public break up, I decided to go to his and Tylers room to check on him. I opened the door finding absolutely no one, I had a slight suspicion so I turned and headed toward the pool. I walked in to find him never the less up on the high dive

"Ahh...I knew it, came to check up on me. I'm fine, just a piece of ass" He said before diving off the board and swimming to the edge of the pool to pull his lean muscled hot , hot body out.

"Oh I know, I just wanted to uh, see if you wanted to come hang out for a bit , get out of your own head and whatever your thoughts currently are." I said mustering lies as I was trying to control my roaming eyes.

"Listen, I don't really need you making a big deal out of this right now, I'm over it. So why do you even care?" He bit out harshly.

"Because of regardless how much of a dick you can be, I always care, Reid. " I turned to walk away

"Bailey-"

"No, its cool. I get it." He quickly was now in my view talking

"Its not cool, you don't deserve my shit Bails"

"No I don't, thanks now go put some clothes on." I said and we both smiled as he went to walk into the locker room.

Not even an hour later I heard a knock at our door and in emerged Reid

"So we are going to Nicky's , come along?" He asked and I smiled.

"Give me a few minutes, I'll be right there." I said

"Alright, Baby Boy and I will be in the hummer." He said turning and exiting the door.

This was the perfect oppurtunity to wear my new black floral skater dress, it showed a little more cleavage than I would normaly expose. I took a few more minutes than I normally would, I put on some leather boots and put my hair up in a high pony tail with a few strands loose cascading down with very light make up.

I hurried out quickly not wanting to make the boys wait any longer, Baby Boys eyes widended when he saw me, Reid just looked angry.

"Whats the special occassion?" Reid asked not realizing how insensitive he sounded.

"Maybe I just felt like being cute for myself Reid, " I said deffensively

"Well you look more than just cute , and if I didnt know better I would say are you looking for someone to hook up with."

His words both grew to annoy and confuse me as I dwelled on them. He always did this mix signaled thing, that made me feel insane at times but than the moments of his over protective, jealous gestures make me wonder.

The ride was quick as we hopped out of the Hummer , Reid had instantly left, I knew what he was doing and my hear instantly sunk. Scoping out girls.

Jenna came up to me all smiles "Okay, soo..what did he say?"

"Are you kidding? He didn't even compliment me I mean he said I looked better than cute but he was angry." I said discouraged.

"Over protective, he should of said something more, go talk to him about it." Jenna said she knew more than anyone else, I needed this even if it hurt at least than I could get over it and move on.

My face got instantly red as I tracked him down and realized he was talking to an attractive blonde well in her 20's, oh typical and now I have to intrude.

"Reid, can I talk to you for a second?" He looked over at me kind of annoyed and than kindly excused himself and came out side the bar with me.

"Okay, Bails whats up?" he asked

"Reid..." I got silent not knowing how to address any of this without it being akward "What do you think of me tonight?"

He smirked " I find it inappropriate." He said

"But why?" I ask feeling offended

"Because, your like a little sister in my eyes and its strange knowing guys and men are gawking at you." once the words ecscaped I felt an instant stab knowing the truth "Are you okay?" He asked suddenly

"Yeah lets just go inside," I said quickly trying to brush past him

"Hey, Bailey, you're not okay. Whats going on with you?" He asked pulling my arm back so I would face him.

"I was hoping your response was going to be different," My voice was soft as I didn't want him knowing this. His facial feautures sofetened, and he looked to the ground thank back up making eye contact with me.

"You're beautiful, and maybe I just am not ready for the rest of the world to see it." He muttered, his words shocking me.

"I don't know how to take that." I said honestly

"I'll always have this feeling you know, to protect you, "

"Thats where the little sister view comes in..." I said to him, I could tell he was growing anxious.

"Yeah, its something. Lets go play some pool." He said and we both went in to find our usual group.

"Looks like Baby Boys got you beat tonight, Reid" Caleb was picking and I was enjoying there minor bickers at eachother, finding it amusing.

"I'll take a swing at it with you Simms," I turned hearing a familiar arragant voice to see Aaron, not just Aaron those he had 3 guys with him that I didn't recognize.
One of them spoke up he was as tall as Caleb but more lean with a light blonde ginger complex, I could read him as a hippy, but why was he with Abbott?

"Since Aaron's not going to introduce us, I'm Sky, this is Tim and this kid piece of work is Johnny." This Johnny kid had some gnarly dread locks.

"I'm sorry you but you seem chill, how are you associated with Abbott?" I couldn't help but speak up and I instantly offended Aaron.

"Hey fuck you too"

"Don't talk to her like that. I'm his cousin, we grew up together at times. " Tim said, he was the most clean cut and more jockish like Aaron with short curly dirty blonde hair. Jenna came over to my side as I was taking all of this in, this could be great to have more friends and boys at that, she smirked at me as if she were reading my mind.

"Well we don't associate with Aaron unless we are owning him at pool but you guys seem like you could be alright," Pogue said causing the group to chuckle and Aaron went off with a flash huffing his way to the bar.

"Sorry we are just as bad at introductions," I said making eye contact with Sky "I'm Bailey, guys introduce yourselfs," I said, Skys eyes stayed locked on mine for a brief second and I had to look down as my face grew hot. I looked around and saw Reid watching me, his jaw slightly clenched and his voice was a little bitter when he introduced himself.

"So you go to Spencer Academy also?" Sky asked me, I felt myself almost stuttering he was a cute boy.

"Yeah, what about you guys?" I asked

"Boston Republic."

"Nice, sometimes I wish I went there just for the wider selection of people." I said

"Yeah, sometimes it can be too populated." He grinned at me and I was growing nervous as I was beginning to find him attractive and Reid had been the only crush I had for 2 years. This boy was different he was still her type but he had his eyebrow , his lip pierced and gauges.

"Hey dude be my partner?" Johnny asked Sky, it was Johnny and Sky up against Baby Boy and Pogue, Reid brushed past me and towards the bar, I sighed he wasn't going to keep confusing me.

"Lets take a potty break," Jenna said, I smiled as we made our way to the rest rooms

"So...I totally saw you checking out Sky, hes pretty hott!" She gushed instantly and it made me sigh "Yeah he is." I admitted in a sad voice,

"Don't be down about this, this is a great thing" Jenna said and I knew deep down she was right maybe this would stop my obssesive behavior with Reid. Maybe.

After watching 2 games of pool, which within the first I had yet to realize as Sky rolled his sleeves up that he appeared to have tattoo's and lots of them. This just made me more attracted to him, but I soon felt that stabbing feeling when I realized sometime into the second game that Reid was nowhere but last seen with some women.

"We should get going," I said to Jenna and I knew she agreed before she nodded,

"Before you go can I get your number?" Sky said, I smiled and of course we exchanged numbers and watched as our group snickered.

"Oh and before we forget guys, theres a party you are invited to Saturday at my house." Tim said to us, usually the group stayed within the school district but this could be interesting.

"It was nice meeting you all," I said and my lingered on Sky last.

"Same. "
