Chapter 20: I Will Never Be Ignored
-Reid's POV-
"Sup man?" Pogue said pulling up a stool next to me in Nicky's. Caleb did the same, handing me a coke. I had been sitting alone at a table, watching while Baby Boy got schooled in pool by Red. Ha ha. Girl's got spunk. Lux was dancing around with Sarah and Kate. I thought she didn't like Kate, but whatever.
"Not much boys," I said, leaning forward and accepting the soda, thanking Caleb with a nod of my head. I watched her dance around with my friend's girlfriends. I was the only one without a girlfriend… I think. I don't know. I guess sleeping with only Lux kind of makes her my girlfriend, right? Don't know how I feel about that.
"You're really into her, huh?" Pogue asked, a smart-ass smirk on his face. The smirk is my thing douche.
I shrugged. "What can I say? She's fucking hot," I answered, leaning back into my chair and sipping my soda again. Reid Garwin Golden Rule #1: Never let your guard down, especially for a girl. Pogue chuckled and Caleb shook his head.
"You know, we aren't going to think you're any less of a man if you say you like her," Caleb informed me. I just rolled my eyes.
"Seriously Reid, you're my brother, but if you hurt her I'm going to kick your fucking ass good," Pogue said suddenly turning very serious. I raised my eyebrows. I wanted to punch that fucking look right off his face.
"That's priceless coming from you of all people. If I remember correctly, she couldn't stand being in the same room as you before yesterday because you apparently fucked her over that bad. Don't think I forgot Pogue. I remember her freshman year. Not exactly the same girl you dated anymore, huh?" He was getting nice and pissed off. Good. "I remember Lux when you dated her. Perky, social, blonde. Now she seems to think she's the Queen of Darkness. Granted her tits got bigger and she got a pretty nice ass, she also got all weird. Didn't that transformation happen right after you broke up with her?"
"Reid," Caleb warned me.
"No Caleb, shut the fuck up! He's no one to talk!" I snapped. Now I'm getting pissed off. Losing my cool. Shit.
"Fuck, this morning you were avoiding her! Sorry Reid, it's just that you're notorious for fucking girls over," Pogue argued.
"Not her, alright man!" Fuck. My guard fell down.
I saw that stupid smirk on Pogue's face again. "That's all I wanted to hear dude."
"What's wrong?" Lux asked, coming up beside me and placing a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and immediately softened my expression when I saw her concerned face. I really hope she didn't hear any of that.
"Nothing baby. C'mere," I assured her, pulling her onto my lap and replacing my brooding face with my smirk again. That's right Pogue, my smirk.
-Lux's POV & The Next Day-
"What's going on?" I asked Reid, pushing my way through the crowd of people that were gathered in a circle in the hallway. It was a passing period and I was on my way to study, but I wanted to know what was going on.
"In a minute," Reid said and I joined him in looking on at and arguing Kate and Pogue.
"Baby, just-" Kate tried.
"No! Go to hell!" he said in a dangerously quiet voice, then turned and passed through the circle. Everyone parted like the Red Sea for him and Caleb followed after him, like a true best friend. Kate started crying and ran off in the opposite direction, having to push her way through people, unlike Pogue. I was surprised when Sarah made no move to go after her.
"Nothing to see here," Sarah said, drawing the crowd away until all that was left were Reid, Tyler, Sarah, Mel and I.
"Is she okay?" Mel asked, just as lost as I was.
"Who cares," Reid said, crossing is arms over his chest. "She fucking cheated on him." I raised my eyebrows in shock. Didn't see that one coming.
"Yeah… with Chase. Of all people," Tyler added, saying the last part quietly. My eyes widened and I put my hand over my mouth. Wow.
"Wait. Before or… after?" I asked. Chase's body was never found, so who knows.
"No, before. It must've been the night she said she was staying at Pogue's. I should've known. He always comes up to the room to get her and say hi. He didn't that night!" Sarah said, obviously feeling bad. As if she could've known. "How am I supposed to be her roommate now?"
"I'll trade Kira for you," I said with a small laugh. Everyone looked at me strangely. Right, not the time. I do feel bad. I really do. I was just trying to get everyone to… lighten up a bit. "Sorry," I muttered, shifting uncomfortably.
"You know what she said to me? She said that maybe it was time for something new! When Pogue was mad because she was hanging out with Chase! God I should've said something to him!" Sarah went on blaming herself.
"Don't make it out to be your fault. It's no one's fault but Kate's," I said, crossing my arms over my chest. I knew there was a reason I didn't like her… besides the fact that she talked mad shit about me when she started dating Pogue.
"Shit… I need to get to study hall before Reynolds gives me a tardy," I said when the last bell rang. "You too Reid." I grabbed his arm and pulled him towards class, knowing he's on thin ice with all his teachers.
"Alright, coming. Relax," he said, sighing and waving his goodbye to everyone.
-Reid's POV-
We snuck in through the back door of the classroom and took our seats in the back. I'd personally let everyone know that this table is mine. No one even thinks about sitting here unless I say differently. Mrs. Reynolds, old bat, was only on the C's in attendance so far, so we were set. I sat back in my chair, kicking my feet up on the table and locking my hands behind my head.
Immediately, Lux took out some homework and began doing it. I rolled my eyes. Why wouldn't she? Sense the sarcasm?
"Mr. Garwin, please remove your feet from the tabletop unless you'd like to clean every one of them after class," Old Bat Reynolds threatened when she got to my name and looked up at me.
"Sounds… thrilling, really. But I'll pass," I remarked, putting my feet on the floor and leaning forward, folding my arms on the table and putting my head down. I could almost feel her shaking her head at me. Heh, good.
I'm not tired. I don't want to do homework. And of course we have a 'silent study' so I can't even talk to anyone. I sat up and looked around the room, wondering what I could do to pass the time.
My eyes landed on Lux. Look at her, sitting there, tie loose, top three buttons undone. That's right, three. That's a good amount of cleavage. Towards the end of the day, most uniforms start to diminish. Because of the way she was sitting, her skirt was hiked up a bit, conveniently on the side I next to me. That is one tempting thigh.
She rested her hand on her temple, holding her head up and seemed to be reading something. Her pen tapped the table lightly. She had her hair clipped back, but a few strands were falling in her face. The way she was leaning made her shirt open a bit so I could see down it. She must've felt my eyes on her, because she looked up at me and raised her eyebrows. I just smirked and she shook her head, continuing to do her homework. Oh yeah, she was just begging for it.
-Lux's POV-
'-and proteins. The two membranes, however, have different properties. Because of this double-membraned organization, there –' Alright Reid, I can't concentrate on my Bio homework when your hand is on my thigh. I swatted it away, not even bothering to look up at him again. Right back where it was. I sighed and looked up at him, giving him my best 'stop it' face and removing his hand from my thigh and placing it on his own lap. I went back to my reading.
Fucker! Forget it! I'll just ignore him. He'll get bored and stop if I don't react. Or his fingers will slip under my panties! I sat up straight and looked at him with wide, horrified eyes. Is he fucking crazy?! He put his free hand to his mouth, giving me the signal to be quiet. I shook my head furiously, but stopped when his fingers brushed my clit because I had to bite my lip so I wouldn't make any noise. Oh God. This isn't happening.
He moved his fingers faster and I tried my hardest to look as though everything was normal. Luckily, the teacher wasn't paying attention. She was too busy typing on the computer. I almost gasped as his fingers slipped inside me for a minute, then went back to their quick assault on my sensitive nub. I clutched the table as I felt a wave of pleasure approaching. That only encouraged him to move faster. I ahd to stop this. I had to… oh no. Black eyes. He is officially in-fucking-sane!
Thankfully, it was as overwhelming as the day before, but it was still an amazing feeling. I suppressed my final moan by nearly biting a hole through my lip and cupping my hands over my face. Reid stopped and pulled his hand out of my panties, realizing I was done.
"Bless you Ms. Proctor," Mrs. Reynolds said, noticing the slight noise I made when I came. She thought I sneezed.
"Th-thank you," I said, slouching in my chair. I looked at Reid with a glare and he just smirked, displaying his two glistening fingers to me before putting them in his mouth and removing them again. Thankfully the bell rang and I quickly gathered my things and got out of that room as fast as I could. I could feel my face flushing.
"Hey, where you off to in such a hurry?" Reid asked, jogging to catch up to me. I turned and whacked him hard in the shoulder.
"Don't ever do anything like that again!" I hissed. He's fucking nuts! It's the only explanation.
"You seemed to enjoy it. And hey, it killed time," he said nonchalantly. What have I gotten myself into?
A/N: Yeah so if you can't tell, I'm not the biggest Kate/Pogue fan. I don't really like Kate. She's annoying. She's pretty, but she's stupid haha. So I made her a cheater.
