I had already been here for two days and no one would look at me

It was if I had been declared taboo. No friendships were attempted to be made. No one asked if it was really true.

They took Sarah and Kate's word as if it were holy.

Dumb asses.

I knew they talked about me though. The silence I inspired whenever I walked into a room was proof enough of that fact. It never failed to make my day.

I did, of course, have my fair share of horny teenage boys try to hit on me. But I didn't really count that interaction as anything more then....well I didn't really count that as anything.

I enjoyed my new found popularity. It may have been negative popularity but hey at least I was being talked about. Being remembered.

I was making my mark on the world. Making sure I would never be forgotten.

It was kinda like writing your name on a bathroom stall. You know the whole "I was here" thing that most people write if they happen to have a pen handy at the time.

It really wasn't any different. At least not in my mind.

And that was all the mattered.

Friday rolled around faster then ever before.

With no plans and no one nearby to score anything alcoholic from I knew this week end was bound to blow.

Walking to my dorm I tried to come up with at least one thing to do. Read maybe? Maybe get some more Cd's?

Then I saw it.

The package in front of my door.

It was just a regular fed ex package but I knew, I just knew that Travis had sent me something. Something awesome. Something that will make this weekend go by so fast I'll barely be able to stand.

I grabbed it and went into the dark, empty room. Kira hadn't been back since to whole Aaron incident.

At least not when I was here.

Sitting on my bed I lifted it up to my face and tried to guess what it could be. Although nothing came to mind Travis had never let me down before. And ripping open the package I realized he had completely read my mind.

My fake ID fell out followed by a letter that I knew would have the explanation for this miraculous gift on it.

I quickly put the ID on my bedside table and eagerly reached for the letter.

Dude,

Saw this before your mom started going through the stuff you left behind. I figured you had to be dieing so I thought I'd take it unto myself to make sure you got it. Things really suck around here without you. Wish I could say more but even with express delivery I'd be surprised if this made it over there by Friday and I can't shake the feeling you're needing it.

I miss you,

Travis.

Short, sweet and to the point. Damn I missed him. And even though the letter he sent was pathetically small it was still so Travis.

I swear him and me are gonna grow old together. I mean he's the only one who could ever put up with me.

Ever.

Still drinking alone did sound kind of sad to me.

I waited a few hours before grabbing the fake ID and bolting out the door.

I was dancing when the mustang came flying down the road. The bottle of tequila I had bought was already gone so when it pulled up next to my car in front of the burnt out barn that I was at was more than a little surprised.

I was already slightly trashed so when a dark haired boy stepped out of the car I had to stare a minute before I recognized him.

Caleb Danvers. He was pretty much the schools god. What the fuck was he doing here at two in damn morning.

He looked at me when angry eyes. "No one is supposed to be out here." He spat out. His commanding tone frighting in the dark.

The fear didn't register but the humor did.

I laughed. "What the fuck are you doing here golden boy." I asked as my world went a little wobbly.

Driving back was gonna be fun.

"I should be asking you the same question. This is private property, you're trespassing." He said curtly. He gave me a long stare before adding. "Don't I know you from somewhere?"

"No you don't. Now go away, you're ruining my fun." I said, dismissing him with a wave of my hand.

He stared at me for a few more seconds

"You're that new girl August. The one who slept with her teacher." He said more to himself than me.

I laughed. "I did didn't I." I said coyly as I walked up to him. "No I don't think I did."

He gave me one of those what the fuck are you doing looks when I grabbed his arm and pulled him into the light coming of the head lights of my car.

"You Spencer kids will believe anything. I just thought it'd be funny to mess with that Sarah chick and her bitchy friend." I said with another laugh. "Wanna dance golden boy."

He walked closer to me a for a second I thought he actually might dance with me.

"You're drunk." He said impatiently. I could tell I was pissing him off.

"Only a little." I replied with a small laugh. It was just so surreal. No one talks to me and then I just randomly get into an argument with the schools god while I'm trashed. It was like a bad romance novel. Now all he has to do is tell me that he's been watching me and believes he can make my world a better place by dumping Sarah and steering me on the course to the redemption of my peers. We would of course fall madly in love at the end after facing some untold obstacle.

Hahaha.

Yeah like that's ever gonna happen.

He put his hand on my arm and started ushering me back to his car. "I'm taking you home." He said flatly, controllably.

And even though I knew he was looking out for my safety, something in his tone made me snap.

"No you're not." I said jerking my arm back. I stumbled back a little. Looking up into his dark face I was pleased to see that he was fuming.

He grabbed my arms again. "You are in no shape to drive. I'm taking you back to the dorms."

I laughed meanly. "Get you hands off me macho man. I can take care of myself." I said as I pushed him forward. Surprised he stumbled and only barely managed to stop himself from falling.

I grabbed my empty tequila bottle and made my way to the front seat of my car. I was at the door when he grabbed my shoulder.

Pissed I turned around and rammed my fist into his nose. "I said get your fucking hands off me." I got into my car and speed off a little unstably at I watched the figure of Caleb Danvers stare after me in my rear view mirror.

XOXOXOXOXO

I was at my first class early on Monday. Sitting in the seat that I'd pretty much declared mine, I went over my notes from last week. I was sure we were gonna have a pop quiz and I needed all the chances I could get to study.

When a shadow fell over me I immediately looked up to see Reid Garwin's smirking face."August, my man heard what you did Saturday night. I must say I'm impressed."

I looked at him blankly. What is he talking about?

"I mean you got Caleb good and hard. I thought it was haliourious myself." He said as he took the seat next to mine.

Oh yeah. I hit his best friend in the face. Wait. Why was he sitting next to me? Smirking? God he was annoying

"Please go away." I said evenly. Reid Garwin's smirk grew wider if possible. He leaned closer to me as people started coming into the class room.

"You know August, I'm wondering when you're going to drop this whole charade you have going on." He was right in front of my face. One more inch and we could kiss.

I leaned back a little. "Charade?"

"You know, the whole nonchalance, I'm better then everyone here thing you have going on." He replied, moving even closer then before.

" Dude, ever heard of personal space?"I asked him, severely annoyed at his proximity.

He chuckled a little before backing off. "You know most people would kill to be in your position."

I looked at him, more then slightly confused. "What do you mean in my position?" I swear if he was about hit on me I would break his hands. I mean eww....blonds are just not cool. And I'm so over bad boys.

He sighed a little before answering. "You have all of my friends talking about you. Thinking about you. Trying to get your attention." He said while reaching up to scratch his head.

What a second what? The little lover boy gang was doing what?

"I fail to see why this would interest me." I manged to state flatly after a few thoughtful moments. I mean this is what I wanted, to get people to talk shit about me so I wouldn't fade into oblivion.

I was creating my own homemade immortally.

Making sure people wouldn't forget me, even if the things they remembered weren't exactly good.

A little shit eating grin spread across his face a s he replied quickly "And that is what has everyone so captivated. You don't care. You spread rumors about yourself instead of trying to stop the one thats are already floating around. And everyone, especially my group of friends, would like to find out why."

I smiled.

"And how do you know I was making up those rumors doll face. For all you know I could easily be fucking the Provost himself and you wouldn't know about it." I said seductively, one hand twirling my hair. My body going into what I called my tease pose.

Boobs out, head tilted, lips pursed. It made me look like I had the IQ of about 50.

It's never failed at distracting the opposite sex though.

Reid was quiet for the few seconds we had left until the bell ring. The noise that it cause finally jerked him out of whatever fantasies I knew he was starting to have about me. He shot me a completive look before rushing to his own seat.

God guys are so easy.
