"Well, it's strange. First it's showing Hailey and me together, but then after a while the dream gets weird." Reid stated.
"What do you mean, it gets weird?" Pogue asked, continuing to work on his motorbike.
"Well, then the scene gets darker, and I'm getting knocked to the ground, almost like how at Nicky's when Caleb threw me into the bottles. And a boy, probably no older than sixteen, and he starts trying to choke me." Reid answered, before going back into his dream. "And he starts saying these things like, "She'll never love you. She is just a fling, another notch on your bed, just like all the rest! Give her up now, and make her leave," and, "Give up! Hand over the powers, it's not like she'll even welcome it! She'll be repulsed by it, and all your witchiness," and before I wake up, I always hear, – Almost like I can hear the thoughts of the blonde – "Good-bye, Hailey," and then the blonde starts saying, "I will you…"
"You don't think he's back, do you? I mean, Caleb killed him, he can't be alive!" Reid yelled, suddenly a little frightened of Chase coming back. "Dunno, maybe he is, and maybe your conscience is just working to make you feel guilty," Pogue replied, before he walked back into his apartment, washing his greasy hands. Once done, Pogue proceeded to remove his greasy shirt, with Reid commenting, "Pogue, I don't swing that way," and went to his bathroom. "You dumb ass, I have a date with Kate later! Now leave my apartment before you never have kids!" Pogue yelled, turning the faucet on, and letting the water run.
"There, see how having a First Aid box helps, Hailey," Kate said, closing the First Aid box up and placing the box back into the cabinet it was mostly located at.
Hailey replied, "Whatever, it doesn't matter, I'd still lose the son of a bitch within two minutes." She then stood up, and hopped to her shoe, almost falling on her face when she reached for the shoe. Too bad for Kate and Sarah, they giggled. Hailey said vehemently, "What, is seeing an injured person almost get even more injured funny? Because I know it sure isn't to me!"
"We're sorry, it's just so funny. Again, sorry!" Sarah replied, not wanting to be on Hailey's bad side. Hailey answered, "It's alright, just you guys shouldn't laugh at other people's pains, it's not nice," and started walking out of Kate and Sarah's dorm, limping down the hallway.
But, as she was walking down the dark as the midnight sky, despite the light in the rest of the school, Hailey's phone vibrated, indicating a text message.
Text Message
From: Seth Dubrinksy
To: Hailey Mitchell
Message: OMG, Hail, guess wut! We're coming to Ipswich!!!!! Sarah and I will be arriving in a few days, Sarah needs to finish a few assignments first, and she's in the Homecoming Parade, 'course I am 2, but oh well! How r u? I'm good, Sarah still having boy trouble though… I just wish there was 1 nice guy out there 4 my older sis, sucks that she has bad tastes in men… Shit, gotta go, Mom will have a cow if she catches me using a text just 2 tell u this. Well, c u!
Seth
Reading the text over, Hailey screamed, and started jumping up and down, but then shrieked when her left foot touched the floor. With throbbing pains shooting through her leg, Hailey limped to a bench or someplace to sit, and to get off of her feet. "What's wrong, is something the matter," Sarah asked, panting because she'd went back to Kate and her's dorm, forgetting her cell phone, and ran to catch up to Hailey to see what's happening.
Hailey replied, "Oh, nothing, other than my friend from Ohio, Sara Dubrinsky, and her younger brother's coming to Ipswich! I can't wait, and maybe hook Sara up with Tyler." Hailey thought, 'Yes, she's been needing a good boyfriend, and Tyler's just ripe for the picking. Heh, I'm such a matchmaker! Of course, Reid's the reason for that. Guess I have some reason to thank Reid…'
At school, Hailey was walking up to her seat, and the World Lit. Teacher called Reid out, saying the Provost wanted to see him.
Reid thought, 'Is it just me, or is God taunting me with my bad deeds? God, Hail looked so hot, why must you taunt me God! Damn, I know I've done wrong, but this isn't fair!' As he neared the Provost's office, he became a little nervous. 'What would he want? I'm pretty sure I didn't get into any fights in the past two days, of course it could be about Aaron, Kira, Hail, and me…' Reid thought, knocking on the Provost's office door before opening.
"You wanted to see me, sir?" Reid asked, sitting in the seat as the Provost asked him to.
"Yes, and your teachers have brought to my attention that you have not got all of your credits to graduate. Have you any reason of that, Mr. Garwin?" the Provost replied, pushing a grade report of what Reid's grades were.
"I'm not going to graduate?" Reid replied, a shocked look at all the dreadful grades on the grade report. He stared, almost afraid to look away for the black ink might run down the page in taunting.
"Not unless you can get these grades up, and ask your teachers if you can do anything to make the credits up. I'm guessing you'll have to have a tutor, as that's what your teachers agreed on. You have one week to pull those grades up, or you won't graduate, and be kicked out of Spenser. You very well know, Mr. Garwin, that Spenser's known greatly for their swimming, but also in academics. I won't have a student of mine ruining that because he can't stand school, and we won't try for a student that doesn't want to work. If you do not bring these grades up, you're wasting this school's time. Good-day Mr. Garwin." The Provost answered, before picking up the grade report, and sticking back into a manila folder.
Tyler, standing next to Reid, who was fuming, glaring dangerously at the pool water, asked, "Dude, what's wrong? What'd the Provost want?"
"Oh, nothing much," Reid replied, "I just won't be graduating, unless I find a tutor to tutor me in all of my fucking subjects, and I have practically no mother fucking time to find one!" Tyler replied, "That sucks… Wait, isn't Sarah a four point oh student? Can't you get her to tutor you?"
Reid, chuckling a little, replied, "Right, if I do that, Caleb will literally kill me, bring me back, just for asking Sarah to do that. And, she's to busy with Caleb to… Tutor me!" Tyler, chucking, nodded, before saying, "Well, what about Hailey? I know she hates your guts, who can blame her, but, maybe, just maybe, she'll help you… You know she can't say no to frie-" and was interrupted by Reid stating, "We're not friends. Who'd want to be friends with the same guy you once dated, and found cheating on you?"
