Not For Him"Okay, what the hell happened two years ago, Reid?" Caleb asked Reid, looking very suspicious right now.
"Nothing, she ran all the way to Ohio on her own free will!" Reid, although knew he was lying, looked straight into Caleb's eyes.
"Reid, the way she acted is enough to let me know that something happened, now you're going to tell me now!" as you could probably tell, Caleb was getting pretty fed up with Reid's attitude.
Reid, fed up with all the pressure, yells, "Fine, you wanna know what, I fucking cheated on her, and she caught me cheating on her, with guess who? Ding, ding, ding, we have an answer! I cheated on her with Kira! Now, do you wanna know why?" Reid, officially pissed off, in anime, he'd have about five or six veins in his head right now.
"You idiot! No wonder she ran away!" Caleb's nerves had now been officially shot.
"You think I don't know that? I've lived every part of these two years wondering if I'd ever see her again, if I'd get to apologize royally, like I tried to that night! Key word tried." With that, Reid pushed Caleb out of the way, walked into his dorm room, and looked down to the ground, wondering what could've happened had he not did what he'd done. Maybe they'd still be together. Maybe they'd be engaged, or he'd be proposing to her this year, and getting married, and having an heir to the Garwin powers.
Hailey, back into her dorm, luckily with no roommate, looked around at the dull paint. 'If only we could decorate… Of course, what they don't know won't kill them… Urg, should I, or shouldn't I?' Finally deciding, she started to decorate, putting up some pictures of old friends, some pictures of Jrock bands, and putting up Presidential Awards she'd been awarded in Intermediate and Jr. High. Of course, having Presidential Awards at Spenser was quite important, not at the top. Mostly, because the students here at Spenser are the smartest, richest, and snobbiest as they get. It's almost as if rumors fly around here more than in Public School. Finishing putting up a picture of a topless Reita, from The GazettE, her pink Katana II started vibrating, indicating a text message.
It had been a message from one of her friends, Sara, asking how it was back at Spenser. Laughing, Hailey replied, "Good, I ran into HIM, though. Wanna c a pic of mi room?"
After, Hailey realized it was past five o'clock, which meant she needed to head to Subway to get a BLT, and fast! Most Spenser students went to Nicky's, but Hailey knew just who else would be at Nicky's, and Hailey planned on avoiding him as much as possible.
Leaning over the pool table, going for a combo shot, Reid could feel heated stares that could kill him into his back, or what back that could be glared at. Making the combo shot, he looks, noticing Caleb was the one who was glaring at Reid. Almost as if he was saying, 'You did it. You did Hailey wrong, you cheated on her. You're lucky she's even talking to you.' Reid, though a little saddened, couldn't blame Caleb. I mean, you spend half of your life with someone, and that person leaves, but comes back, and you figure out that your childhood friend left because of a dimwitted move made by a friend by default, and not by choice, you'd be pissed off at that friend by default, too!
Kate, realizing tension thick enough to take a butter knife and cut through, whispers to Pogue, "What's with them two? Not another fight… God, can't those two get along, ever?" Pogue just shrugged, only knowing this tension revolved around a certain brunette haired girl with the name of Hailey Matthews. Finally, rolling his eyes, he told Kate, "I'm going to play foosball with Caleb, later." And with that, he walked over to the foosball table, motioning for Caleb to follow.
"Alright, what'd Reid do this time?" Pogue said bluntly, while striking the foosball toward Caleb's goal, almost making a goal, but didn't. "Nothing, just something Reid did when we were younger, nothing important." Caleb replied, not sure if he should be the one to tell of Reid's betrayal to Hailey, or how to, in fact. The foosball, landing a goal in Caleb's side, caused Pogue to temporarily forget his questions.
Sarah, who just came in, asked Kate where Caleb was, though internally already knew where he was.
Getting her BLT, Hailey sat down at an empty table, which was pretty much anywhere, as everyone was at Nicky's. As she started eating, her phone vibrated again, this time a text from another friend, named Hannah. The text, though funny, Hailey couldn't believe that she'd made President of the school president! Sure, it was expected, but the campaign poster she'd made was so funny, it was kind of hard to believe it was for real. Happily, though, Hailey replied that it was good for her, and that she'd better run the school well, as a joke, and sent the text back. Once she finished her BLT, Hailey got her purse, got out her keys, and walked to her Acura RSX, otherwise known as her baby. Once in her baby, she sped off to go see her mother, as her mother made her promise to see her every once in a while.
Arriving at her mother's house, Hailey walked up into the house, greeting her mother, who was standing in the doorway, waiting for her. "How are you," Hailey's mother greeted. "I'm well, just Reid being a jackass, nothing has changed, has it?" Hailey replied.
After spending a few hours at her mother's, catching up, Hailey returned to her dorm room, it being almost midnight.
Reid, after more games of pool, decided to leave, after almost getting into another fight with Aaron, key word almost.
Arriving at the dorms, he was walking, when he bumped into a wall, or something. Falling to the ground, Reid noticed that the wall had also fallen. "Ow," said the wall. Looking across from himself, Reid noticed just who it was. "Well, just can't keep your footing when I'm around, can you, Hailey?" Hailey had just gotten out of the shower, coming back to her room in nothing but a fluffy white towel around her body, and her dirty clothes in one hand. "Oh, I'm sorry, you just disgust me so much that I want to get so far away from you that I'd fall flat on my ass. Feel lucky, I don't fall away from your disgusting site to just anyone." "Well, if I disgust you so much, then why do you have your legs spread open for me?" Reid retorted.
Hailey, realizing her position, blushed a deep red, stood up, hmphed, and turned away. "Geez, I was so naive then. To think you'd be any different in the two years. You're pathetic Reid, get over yourself." And with that Hailey walked away, not turning to see Reid so affected by her words.
Deciding to go onto bed, Reid walked on into the boys' dorms, went up into his dorm room, and went to sleep.
The next day, it was thunder storming, but rarely anyone came in soaking wet. When Hailey walked into Trigonometry, everyone turned, only to see a soaking wet version of Hailey. She looked almost like the girl in The Ring, 'cept her hair wasn't in front of her face, and she wasn't chasing people to kill. Taking a seat, Trigonometry began, with Caleb and Tyler in that class.
Once Trig was over, Hailey went on into her day, trying to forget what happened earlier, or the night before, however you look at it.
At lunch, she decided to go to Nicky's and get some food, because she wanted to. Of course luck just happened to not be on her side, and whoa and behold, there Reid was, racking up to play pool with his partner in crime, Tyler. Though, they were playing some other students, though Hailey couldn't remember their names. As she walked over to the counter, to order some fries and a diet coke, she felt a pair of eyes in her back. Not a big lunch, but she had to stay fit for tennis and basketball.
"Well, I knew you'd come chasing after me. I know I'm handsome, but no need to get stalkerish, babe," Reid stated, in a cocky tone. "Really, I think that night two years ago showed I will never go chasing after you again," Hailey retorted, turning back to her fries, and taking a long drink from her Diet Coke. "Really, then what about last night, you looked really, open to running back to me," Reid replied, with that cocky smirk planted onto his face. Hailey thought, 'God, what I wouldn't give to take a butcher knife and cut that smirk away from his face! And I'd make it very slow and painful!'
Reid, noticing the dark look in Hailey's eyes, decided now wouldn't be a good time to mess with Hailey. Though it was quite fun, when she gets that dark look in her eyes, back away! So, Reid said, "Well, I've got people to hustle, money to make, and pool to play, later." and with that, Reid walked away, leaving Hailey to her dark thoughts.
