Changes

Disclaimer: Only own Casey but if I could buy Reid I would.

I got up at the ungodly hour of four so I could get my morning workout in before I had to get ready for my flight. After I finished it was 5:45 and I groaned seeing as I had to get ready right away if I wanted to leave on time. I took a quick shower and did my morning routine and by that time it was 6:15.

"Perfect timing." I stated as the doorbell rang. I ran down the stairs and shouted "Come on in." knowing it was my good childhood friend Casey. All I saw was a mass of multi-colored hair before being tackled to the ground.

"Oh my God 'Mione. It feels like I haven't talked to you in ages. I love your hair."

"Thank you." I replied. My hair had changed. It was in soft ringlets with honey blond and purple highlights running through it. "And it's probably because we don't talk that much at school which is amazing."

"I know right. Are you ready?"

"Yep let's go." I said grabbing my bags and getting into the driver's seat of Casey's customized, are you ready for this, Lamborghini.

We reached the airport in record time and quickly went through clearance. We took our seats in first class as I prepared for the twelve-hour flight that wouldn't begin for another fifteen minutes.

"Wake me up when we get there." I mumbled to Casey settling myself into a comfortable position for sleeping." I felt Casey nod before slipping into a deep but unfortunately not dreamless sleep.

I was roughly shaken awake by Casey. I rubbed my eyes said in a haze "Are we there yet?"

"No, but you were having a nightmare. I figured you'd want to get out. What was it about?"

I lied and said, " I don't remember."

Casey gave me a scrutinizing look but nodded nonetheless. "We only have ten minutes until we land."

"Wonderful." I muttered. It wasn't that I was scared of flying. It was that I was scared of flying when I, or someone I knew was the pilot. But in this case I didn't know the pilot and was very nervous about the landing. Casey noticed and attempted to comfort and humor me by saying, "Breathe 'Mione. Breathe in and out."

I glared at her due to my state and irately replied, "Not helping Casey.

Casey just chuckled and returned to reading her book. I braced myself for what was thankfully a smooth landing and waited for the "You are now free to leave this airplane. Thank you flying American Airlines and join us again."

I quickly got up and headed to the luggage cart hoping we didn't get in a mix up. After we got our bags we got into my Ferrari that my mom had driven up here.

We drove through the gates of Spencer Academy and noticed we almost had the whole place to ourselves, which made sense since school didn't start for another month. These students must be the ones who stay here over the summer.

I turned to Casey while driving and said, "Great. It's a fucking rich priss school. I mean I knew it would be for the rich. But these are like the really rich. The students are probably stuck-up and only think about money and shit like that."

"Probably. But we should find out first. And even if they are like that we should still be nice. Right 'Mione."

"Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know no fights."

"Good girl." Casey said as she patted me on the head. I shook my head and parked as close as I could to the dorms. Casey looked at me questionably.

"What? I may be fit but I don not want to drag all our shit up to the dorms."

"Fine. Let's just go." We got out of the car and grabbed some of the stuff that was jammed in my car. We got to our dorm room that was near the showers and opened the door. We looked around and weren't surprised nor impressed. It was just a standard dorm but me and Casey were going to make it awesome. We looked at each other each with a mischievous glint in our eyes.

We said together, "After this, shopping!"

We quickly got everything in our dorms and determined what we need which was a lot.

"I say we get food first. And some other minor stuff and get the major things tomorrow that way we have all day to set it up and have time to enjoy it." Casey suggested.

I nodded in agreement. "I saw a convenience store when we were driving through town. Why don't we just go now?"

"Sounds good." Casey said as she headed to the door.

The drive to town was relatively quiet considering it was us. We got to the convenience store and I immediately noticed a blonde haired boy with an earring and at least two tattoos. There were also two other boys with him and one darker skinned girl. They all looked to be about our age. I didn't really notice much about the others because Casey turned to talk to me. "I think the taller one with dark hair is cute. I can already tell you like the one who looks like a complete badass."

"Oh you know me. Always looking for trouble."

"Whatever let's start shopping." We started walking down the aisles and Casey left to go to the bathroom. I was about to turn a corner when I was stopped by three guys. I could already tell they were cocky as shit and probably thought they could get anything they wanted especially the one who looked to be the leader. He had curly dirty blond hair and was over all kind of cute but definitely not my type. He was way too preppy and seemed too into himself.

"Hey there. I haven't seen you around before. Are you new? If you are maybe we could hang out you know, just the two of us."

I scoffed not believing how naïve he thought I was and the way he was trying to sweet-talk me. "Honey, you couldn't handle me if you tried."

"Oh yeah, and why's that?"

"Because I could kick all your asses and I need somebody who will actually present to me a challenge in that department."

"Cute. The girl is very independent and wants to act tough." He said to his cronies. He turned and addressed me, "Look baby, why don't you drop the tough act and come and take a ride with me." He smirked as he said this but it wasn't a playful one that turned me on it was a victory smirk. The dick ad thought he already won and I hadn't even said yes.

"Go away Abbott. The girl has already expressed she doesn't want to go out with you." I turned around about to say I can take care of this myself, but stopped when I saw it was the cute guy from earlier. His friends and Casey I noted were all behind him. He walked up to me and introduced himself. "I'm Reid."

"Look Garwin, this ain't none of your business."

"Oh really. Do you want to go out with him?" He asked me.

"Hell no."

"See Abbott. Now why don't you go back to your hand like it has always been and leave the poor girls alone."

"This is over Garwin I will get this one." The guy said attempting to size up Reid.

"Go ahead and try but I doubt you will if she has a part in this argument." The guy and his cronies gave Reid one last glare before pushing passed all of us and exiting the store. Before I had a chance to talk to Reid the girl stepped to me. "I'm sorry about Aaron. He's a prick and treats girls like dirt. I like you already though you had enough sense to turn him down and you are definitely not like most of the stuck-up bitches I know I'm Kate by the way and you are?"

"I'm Hermione."

"That's a cool name. I wish I had a unique name like that but no I got stuck with plain old Kate." I looked at her not knowing quite what to say but then decided, "I like it and you. Please tell me you go to Spencer."

"Yeah, we all do." A look of realization crossed her face. "Where are my manners I should have introduced you to everybody else. Casey already knows everyone."

"We were wondering when you would remember us." A boy said. His features were very strong and very handsome. He had had brown hair that was barely tinted blond that briefly touched his shoulders. He behind Kate and put his arms around her waist. I smiled knowing that they made a great couple. "I'm Pogue." He said briefly.

Kate finished for him. "This is Tyler," She said pointing to the tall boy Casey had picked out earlier. "And you already know this is Reid." Reid gave a small wave.

"Hey aren't you supposed to be at home right?" Tyler asked.

Reid shrugged and responded, "Yeah my parents are actually home and we're supposed to be spending 'family time' together. Bullshit if you ask me. It's going to be my dad droning on about something or another and my mom's going to be bitching about other bitches in her circle of 'friends.'"

"Good luck with that." Pogue said patting him on the back.

"Thanks. I'll see you guys at Nicky's?"

"Yeah. 'Mione, it is okay that I call you 'Mione right?" I nodded my approval and Kate beamed. "You and Casey should come with us."

I looked towards Casey and saw her wanting eyes. "Sure what the hell.

Just give us directions."

"Awesome are you guys already in dorms?"

"Yep." Casey voiced.

"Cool so am I. Maybe we could get ready together?"

"Sounds good to me and then we can drive you too." I said already really liking Kate.

"Good. "I'll see you guys at five and then we'll leave at about seven. Sound good?"

Casey and me nodded knowing it was going to be a long but probably fun night.

A.N. So what did you think? I thought this was pretty good once I got into it. Please review it helps me know what to fix and whatnot.
