Side Note: This story used to be called "I Caught Myself" But then I noticed someone posted a story the same day as me with the same title? Weird. But Enjoy.

I looked around my empty room and wondered if I should text Reid back. I needed to tour the school and I didn't want to get lost, but that fear came upon me again.

I'll just do it myself and tell him tonight before classes start. I thought to myself.

I grabbed my dorm key and locked the door behind me. I started walking toward the main door pulling my schedule out of my back jean pocket.

"English 201." I read quietly to myself.

I looked around at all of the old looking buildings trying to decide which one looked more like an English wing. They were all so big with huge old bricks making up the outer layer. This whole place was filled with old bricks and stones and I bet on a foggy night this place looked really creepy. I decided to try the larger structure to my left. It was raining so I was walking fast down the cement pathway.

I was shielding my eyes from the rain with my schedule. I bumped into someone and the shield fell to the ground.

"Hey sorry about that." A male's voice spoke.

I was looking at the ground and I hastily picked up my semi-wet piece of paper. "It's alright, I wasn't looking ahead of me."

"Is that paper important?" They guy asked.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I suppose so. I just transferred in and this is my schedule." I said holding up the paper and smiling at him.

"Oh, well sorry again. Did you need help finding anything?" He asked nicely.

"No thank you, but if I ever do need help I'll be sure to come ask you bub." I declined.

"Bub?" He asked jokingly before turning to walk away.

That guy sure reminds me of someone

I thought to myself as I headed to down the path I was before with a slight run this time. I quickly opened the heavy entrance door with more trouble than I had expected. I shook off the rain drops when I entered the lobby and glanced around.

"Geese she's good." I very quietly whispered to myself.

It was the English building and I was proud that I still was very good at guessing. I began to walk up the stone staircase looking for the classroom I would need to report to the next day.

"Gabriel? Gabby! Miss. Gabby Ward!" I heard a guy shouting from downstairs.

I was confused and ran down the steps I just climbed.

"There you are! Why didn't you say anything! I knew you knew it was me." The guy explained.

I looked at him harder trying to figure him out, then I realized. "Ahhh! Tyler!" I screamed jumping at him for a hug.

He hugged me back and then looked at me. "Is there a reason you haven't told anyone you were coming back?"

"I just didn't think it would matter." I shrugged. "How did you know it was me?"

Tyler smiled. "I haven't heard the name "bub" since middle school. Then I got to thinking about your smile outside in the rain. Then I realized it was you. Now, stop questioning me. You didn't even tell Reid you were coming home?" He asked.

"Home?" I questioned more to myself than him. "No I didn't tell him because I thought it wouldn't matter. Both of us have probably changed a lot and I wouldn't want to impose on the way he is now." I calmly explained.

Tyler shook his head at me. "Reid turned out the way he would have turned out no matter what."

We both began laughing.

"Well, what are you doing running around campus?" He asked.

"Nothing at all but trying to make sure I know how to get to all my classes tomorrow." I looked at the black smudged writing.

He seemed to notice it also. "I'll show you were they are. It's weird though, I never took you as much of a planner."

"I'm not, but this time I am alone so it is different. I want to have certain things figured out." I stated.

"You're not alone anymore Gabbs." He countered walking me over to a small table. "Let me see your schedule." He asked with his hand out.

I gave it to him and he pulled out a fresh loose leaf and a black pen. Tyler began studying the ruined schedule and copying things onto the new paper. After about 10 minutes my schedule was completely re-written and readable. I thanked him and we headed on our way through the rain to look at my other classrooms.

Tyler had changed in some ways but for the most part he seemed the same. His hair still stood up somewhat, he still talked in that voice and walked with a hint of self consciousness. I smiled at the fact we pretty much picked up where we left off. Tyler showed me to all my classes and I was confident that I would not get lost tomorrow. After we were finished he walked me back to my dorm.

"Hey, did you want to go meet up with the others? I am going to go meet Reid at Nicky's and I am sure they would be glad to see you." Tyler invited.

I thought for a moment before replying. "I am actually going to head over to the showers. I'll defiantly come next time though." I gave Tyler a hug.

"Okay, well I'll tell them that you are here." He said before turning away.

"Wait! TY, could you do me a favor?" I stopped him.

"Hmm?"

"Could you not tell anyone I'm here just yet?" I hoped he would agree.

He smiled and nodded before he turned the corner. I was happy about that and unlocked the door to my room. I gathered some comfortable clothes before heading off to the shower. I had gotten some glances from some of the other girls in the hallway and I tried my best to ignore them. The bathroom was pretty nice but I didn't like the fact that the shower stalls were so big. I felt like anyone could walk in with me before I noticed the stall even open. I stood with my back to the water fall and my eyes to the door. I guess you could say I was somewhat of a paranoid person. Once I was done with my shower I stepped out feeling refreshed. I changed in the changing area and put my towel in a small laundry bag I was planning to keep in my closet until I figured out where the laundry room was.

I looked at the clock and it read 8pm and it seemed like the minutes were going by faster and faster. I decided to lay down and text Chase to tell him how everything was going. His birthday was coming up soon and I still needed to get him something. I wasn't sure what I could get him that wouldn't get broken or stolen in the mail but I am sure I will think of something.

TEXT MESSAGE

REID: So I hear your back in Ipswich. I can't wrap my head around why I didn't already fuckin' know. I have to hear it from douche bag over here.

"Ughh!" I let out a groan.

There is another thing that hasn't changed with Tyler. He still crumbles under Reid's pressure and can't lie to save his life.

Buzz buzz buzz

INCOMING CALL

REID

"Hello?" I answered.

"What is this I hear from Baby boy?" He asked surprised.

I sighed. "Yes Reid my parents have sent me to attend Spenser." I explained.

"About damn time isn't it!" He stated.

Knock Knock

"Ugh hold on someone is knocking on my door." I told him.

"Well hurry up!" I could hear Reid say.

I cautiously opened the dorm door.

"Reid what the hell." I said slamming my phone shut.

Reid broke out in laughter before embracing me in a hug. "Now sit here on my bed and tell me about why you didn't let me know you were coming home."

Home? These guys really thought I was away on vacation or something.

I quietly chuckled. "I believe that the bed you're laying on would be my bed."

Reid grinned at me before speaking. "Yep you're right; it would be your bed if I didn't just claim it."

"Well then where is your room so I can claim your bed?" I joked.

"Believe me Gabbs you do not want my bed." There's that grin again.

I rolled my eyes "I can only imagine Reid."

He shrugged "If you say so."

I sat down on the bed with him and explained everything my parents said and everything that I left behind. I told him about Chase helping me pack and how awesome he and his car were. Reid seemed more interested in Chase than Chase was him. Reid let me know how he was the playboy of the school, told me about the classes here, how much they sucked, and filled me in on Pouge and Kate. He also mentioned how awarded himself and the others are on their great swimming team. I remember Caleb telling me about how he was the freestyle man once in a letter he wrote me a while back. Then Reid mentioned the hot chick that Caleb met last night at the Dells.

"Reid, I'm tired." I mentioned after about an hour of talking.

"I guess I'll let you sleep but you have class with all of us tomorrow so be prepared." He warned before hugging me and leaving my dorm.

I locked the door and got under my covers.

A/N: As you can tell this story will be sort of following the story line but I am going to flip some things and reasoning behind some things around to fit my original plan. Thanks for the reviews, keep them coming and I'll keep the chapters coming. I like to hear feedback so let me know how I am doing. If you're going to be mean, I would rather you not. Just tell me what you feel in a professional way. Thanks all.
