Liam still refused to loosen his hold on William. Instead, he whispered in William's ear, "Don't worry. I'll walk you to class."

Liam turned and said out loud to his other friends, "Guys, y'all go to class first I'll catch up in a while. I'll just walk William to his next class." And with that, Liam and William walked toward where William's next class was supposed to be.

Chapter 2

The whole day was a blur to William, one minute he was walking to his morning classes, and before he realized it, he was standing by his open locker, placing his books neatly inside and thinking about what was going to happen next. Quite frankly, ever since he came to America, he'd always imagined being in a secret society where he could experience the things that he had dreamed of. But actually being in the society and being an immediate high member never drifted through his mind.

Liam arrived just in time to see William close his locker; he didn't wait for another second to plaster himself to the blonde and give him a huge hug.

"God, I missed you baby!" Liam said gladly as he sighed into William's hair and then inhaled the unique scent of William.

Being suddenly hugged tight and lifted off the ground surprised William so, that his head seemed to spin. .

Liam noticed the lack of reaction from William. Deciding to give his little boy a shake, he, once again, lifted William off his feet and swung his around while saying, "I. missed. You!" before setting him down again, arms still around William's waist.

Finally, William's head swirled back to its proper place. He looked up at Liam's face and smiled blandly. Seeing William's weak smile sent Liam into a sudden panic, and he flooded William with questions.

"What's wrong Will? Did the teacher give you a hard time? "Did Ms. Calendar threaten you?"" Do people give you odd looks? Who are they?" Liam asked in one breath.

William was taken aback at Liam's over protectiveness of him. Not knowing what else to do, he settled on just smiling again and said, "Thought you're taking me shopping?"

That got William a cheery smile from Liam and an evil glint. "Oh, I am…just wait and see what I've got in stored for you…" Liam released William's waist and lifted his arm to William's shoulder and stalked out of the school.

As they reached the student parking lot, William saw the same cars from the last time he was here, plus a new one. He was really shocked to see a female come out of the car. The girl waved at William and Liam with a seductive smile and a very hot "Hello."

Liam was glad Faith had arrived. He really didn't want to spend all that time picking out clothes. He knew Faith would save them a whole lot of time. Mostly because he wanted his sister to know his new companion, he just had a feeling that Faith would like William just as much he did.

"Will, that hot chick is my sister, Faith. She's gonna help us with shopping. With her here it's gonna save us a hell of lot of time!" Liam said out loud.

"Save the praise Angel, I'm here to save you time, not to waste them on me. And ooh, did I mention, that boy there is really pretty." Then she crossed her arms over her chest, "So, are we gonna get goin' or what? I know just what hair color suits pretty boy there, Bleached Blonde White!" She exclaimed as she slid back into her car and revved up the engine.

Liam wasted no time; he took William's hand and headed towards his car. As soon as Faith saw her brother get into the Viper, she sped off, leaving Liam to follow her. As she drove off of the campus grounds, she saw her brother's Viper catching up to her very fast. They drove toward the mall like they were in a drag race and parked side by side in their reserved parking spaces.

Faith was the first one to get out of her car. Walking over to her brother's, she saw William holding on tightly to the car seat as if he holding on for dear life. She witnessed Liam looking very much like a high school boy apologizing to his date for being an ass. She couldn't help but smile; she'd never seen Liam get serious with a partner since… Darla. She hated her dearly.

"Will, I'm sorry… I…it's just Faith and me always drive this way… we're always racing against each other. Will, please, calm down, your knuckles are goin' white, Will." Liam soothed his scared-shitless passenger. Seeing Faith stand by his car, he gave her a sheepish smile.

Liam finally pried William's knuckles from his car seat and somehow managed to get him out of the car. Perched on the hood of Liam's car, William was slowly getting back to his skin.

Faith decided to talk to William a little, since she was the one who was going to be picking out William's outfit. "Hey there, pretty boy, got scared shitless with me and my brother's driving, didn't you!"

Liam noticed that Faith was teasing Will and told Will quickly. "Baby, I'm sorry…I didn't mean it. I didn't know you'd get scared with my driving."

William was finally feeling more like himself just as Liam finished his latest apology. "I-It's ok. I just… it's just… did you see the old woman there? She almost got hit by you…" He stammered.

Liam smiled at William and dropped a kiss on his forehead.

"Don't worry William, Liam is a good driver, he didn't hit the woman, though…I almost hit her. Don't worry, it's nothing big. So let's get going shall we?" Faith said as she pulled William away from the car and dragged him toward the elevator.

They rode the elevator with Liam's protective, or rather possessive arm draped over William's slender shoulder and Faith chattering about how cute Liam was when he was little and how he always managed to get hit by her whenever they were racing in go-carts.

As the elevator opened, Faith was the first to step out of it with Liam and William following behind her. As they strolled along many clothing stores, Liam was enjoying the attention they were getting from Faith's hot leather figure to William's innocent boy looks to his own, hard and muscular body.

William really felt awkward with most of the people staring at them. He was not used to people looking at him from head to toe. He felt Liam's arm tighten around his shoulder as they came to a halt. He looked up at the store's name and was really shocked to see it was one of the most expensive stores in the place.

He whipped around to face Liam and said quickly. "Liam, what are we doing here?"

Liam looked down at William with a smile, "Shopping. What does it look like?"

William ducked his head and said shyly, "Liam, i…I can't afford it."

"Don't worry, William, take it as a gift from me." Faith said as she entered the shop and asked the manager to close the shore for two hours. When the manager nodded her head, Faith handed her a fat roll of cash as an incentive, and told the woman, "We'll be using credit card for the purchased clothes."

The manager smiled at her and nodded again as she walked away asking the other customers to leave for a while, and leaving the three of them on their own.
