I can't get them evicted, because I've grown addicted...
To laughing through my floors.
If they move out, I can't live here anymore.

"If it isn't the prodigal Son of Ipswich," an arrogant, but familiar voice rung out through the nearly empty halls of Spencer. Tyler shut his locker and turned around with a roll of his eyes. "Still remember us little people?" he asked as he casually leaned against the locker beside Tyler's and crossed his arms firmly over his chest, Pogue, Caleb and Sarah crowding behind him. The blonde chuckled. "Heard about your little run in with Abbott," he reached over and playfully punched Tyler in the shoulder. "Way to show the girls what you're made of, Baby Boy."
Tyler shut his locker and rubbed his upper arm self-consciously. Sarah shot Reid a disapprovingly look before turning to the youngest of their group, a reassuring smile surfacing on her. "I thought you were brave, Tyler," she assured, her smile widening. Tyler's cheeks flushed in return. "Besides, up against the Incredible Hulk, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, you and your orbs of Jell-O wouldn't stand a chance." She smirked as scowl marred his once arrogant features as Tyler turned an even darker shade of red, Caleb and Pogue suppressing their laughter in the background.
"The Incredible Hulk?" Reid echoed. "Is that what people are calling her these days? I was thinking something more along the lines of the Juggernaut, the guy from X-Men that's got a dick for a head? Fitting consider-"
"Come on you guys," Tyler interrupted, stepping in between the two-heated blonde. "I know you guys didn't come over to hear to argue about Adelaide-"
"Actually we did." Caleb piped up from behind the three some.
"Everything all right with you two?" Pogue asked. "You haven't come running to us with your tail between your legs in a couple of days. And I know you're gonna make me say it, so … you know you can talk to us, about anything, anytime …"
"Everything's fine." Tyler said a little too quickly. "Its just Adelaide, being her regular self multiplied by about infinity. I know that if she doesn't want to hang out with me I shouldn't push it, the girl's a time bomb, I get it, but I feel like I . . . I owe her one, you know." He almost groaned.
"Would it help if I told you to forget about her?" Pogue asked, his eyebrows raised in both amusement and question.
"Not really."
"Well then, all the Power to you." He punned.
"That was weak, man, even for you." Reid quipped from Tyler's side before he pushed off the locker and brushed by them. He rested his hand on Pogue's shoulder and started dragging him away. "See you in the dorms, Baby Boy." Reid called over his shoulder, Pogue sending him shrug.
Caleb chuckled softly before looking at Tyler. "Good luck." He wished before he cast his eyes onto his girlfriend. "You coming?" he asked.
Sarah shook her head. "I'll be there in a minute." She assured as she pecked her boyfriend on the cheek and watched as he followed after Reid and Pogue. She turned back to Tyler. Her voice dropped to a whisper. "You can lie to the guys all you want, Tyler, but I'm a woman and while you were talking my Spidey-sense was tingling. So I'm going to pull a Mary Jane and remind you that everyone needs help sometimes, even the Sons of Ipswich. There are some things in this world magic can't fix . . . and I guess you were luck enough to find it. Have fun."
And with those soft words, a soft kiss on the cheek and wave good bye, she was gone.

I bought the new Boy's Night Out CD so expect to see a lot of their lyrics in here. Sorry this chapter is really short, I just couldn't bring myself to make it any longer. But the next one will be longer, I promise.
