I need to get a little bit more familiar with them seeing how I always focus on Reid and Tyler. I hope you like this I've been trying really hard to incoporate everyone in each chapter. Thanks, and enjoy!

chapter three; little of your time

Riley was late. "Shit shit shit shit shit!"

Quickly, she pulled on her stiff uniform, rolling and tucking till it looked semi-attractive. She ran her fingers through her blond hair, and quickly applied light makeup so she wouldn't look like a complete corpse. Shoes in one hand, bag in the other, she quickly ran out the door and out to the science building. Once she was outside Professor Jefferson's class, she sighed "He'll kill me if I'm late again."

She sighed again; she had no other choice but to use. Shutting her eyes, she let her blue eyes fade to white for seconds, orchestrating her plan to sneak in. Within seconds, she could hear a loudspeaker call "Professor Jefferson, we need you in the office." Swiftly, she hid behind a row of lockers across the hall and watched the confused professor walk down the hall and out the door. Quickly, she ducked into the classroom, but no one in the talkative class noticed. She scanned the room for a seat, and found one conveniently next to the attractive Caleb Danvers. She smiled wryly, and casually walked up to him, sitting her next to him at the lab table.

"No partner?" she asked

He grinned at her "You have phenomenally good timing. Jefferson just left."

"Lucky is all. So, what, are you really that bad at physics that no one wants to be your partner?"

"Haha, no. Sarah's usually my partner, but she said she was feeling under the weather today…"

"Yeah, I noticed that she always looks so stressed lately."

Caleb shrugged "And when I ask her, she always says its nothing. I've been worrying."

Riley gently patted his arm "Don't worry about it, she just needs to relax."

Caleb sighed as he twisted his watch around his wrist "I hope so…So, do you like Spencer so far?"

"It's okay…but, what do you guys do for fun around here? Other then wild alcohol filled house parties?"

Caleb grinned "Basically those…well, we go to Nicky's all the time."

"Nicky's?"

"It's a bar, but they let us in even though we're underage. Not everyone goes, but we do, almost every night. As a matter of fact, we're all going tonight. You guys should come."

Riley smiled brightly "Sounds like fun."

"Yeah, it's usually a good time, until Reid gets into a fight."

She chuckled "Sounds like something Taryn would do. And usually I'm the one who has to break it up. It's really ridiculous."

He nodded "Don't you hate it?"

"Hate what?"

"Being the one who has to break it up?"

"Yes! You feel like you're being an overpowering ja-"

"Jackass! Exactly. Being the oldest of the group isn't a very rewarding job. I can't even have a good time cause I worry if Reid and Tyler are going to get themselves in trouble. And then in the end, Reid ends up more pissed at me then the guy he was fighting. It's fucking ridiculous."

Riley chuckled "Why are you my exact twin? That happens to me all the time with Taryn. I swear she loves pissing me off the most."

He chuckled "Maybe we just need to stick together and let them fend for themselves for once."

"I completely agree…shit."

"What?"

"Class is over in 5 minutes and we have a paper due next class."

He ran a hand through his dark hair "Why don't you come over tomorrow night then? We can work on our project and I'll give you some real food. Cafeteria food never compares to my home cooking."

She laughed "Okay Martha Stewart, sounds good."

i just need a little of your time to say the words i never said

Megan ambled out of her Statistics class and into the crowded hall. She glanced up, staring at the passing faces and trying to memorize their features. An arm swiftly slung itself over her shoulder, and she looked up, hoping it wasn't Abbott, that obnoxious prat. She recognized the green eyes, cropped brown hair and small grin; it was Ryland. "Hey creep," she laughed.

He rolled his eyes "How was Stat?"

"Mind numbingly confusing. My brain is fried."

"You have lunch right now, right?"

She nodded, and he continued "C'mon, we're taking a walk…you know, to clear your head," as he led her out the door and onto the expansive campus. They continued to walk till they reached a small clearing with trees and flowers.

Megan sighed, readjusting her ponytail, and dropping her bags, plopping herself on the grass. He laid down next to her and asked "What are you so stressed about lately?"

She shrugged "School's killing me, I need a break. And it's just weird…all the girls here hate me. Like Kate, I swear she's planning my death in English because I sit next to Pogue. And Kira makes it clear she doesn't like the fact that Abbott is like a leech on me every time I walk down the hall. I'm not used to this…"

Ryland laughed "Megan, are you seriously worrying about if the catty, insecure girls hate you? It's just because you're unbelievably gorgeous, and you're charming boys left and right."

She giggled "Oh, I am now? Like who?"

Ryland grinned brightly, sitting up "Like me, Miss Szhor."

"Is that right Mister Kennedy? Do I dazzle you?" she said jokingly

"Frequently…" And with that, he gently leaned in towards her, kissing her lightly.

When he pulled away with questioning eyes, she laughed, and kissed him again. He gently tugged at her ponytail until it fell out, still kissing her and now running a hand down her back. He pulled away "I like you, you know that right?"

Taking in a deep breath of air, she replied "I like you too…but…"

"But what?"

"I don't think a relationship is what either of us need."

He smiled "I think we should just see how things go like this…good?"

She replied with a sweet kiss instead.

i'll make you feel it, can you still feel it?

Lia sat in History class, staring at the clock, silently cursing the obnoxious couple making out next to her. On the other side of her, sat the equally as obnoxious Reid Garwin. He was currently having text sex with the girl sitting in the row behind them, but every so often he accidentally-on-purpose brushed his hand against her leg. She sighed, twisting her hair into a bun, sticking a pen through it to entertain herself. Reid glanced at her, smirking, before reaching up and pulling the pen out, letting her dark hair tumble out onto her shoulders.

"Was that really necessary?"

"As long as I'm touching you."

"Do you practice those lines in your mirror?"

He grinned, "Why, yes I do. Actually I do it naked. Wanna watch sometime?"

"If I could gouge my eyes out first."

"Baby, you know you think I'm sexy. It's okay. Everyone does."

She smiled wryly, she had to admit. He was extremely attractive. His gray blue eyes always glowed with mischief and his messy blond hair tempted any girl with half a brain to run her hands through it. His smell overtook a girl's senses, and his fingerless gloves and black beanie just made his look even more desirable.

He smirked "Aw, baby, are you daydreaming about yours truly?"

She scoffed, "Keep wishing Garwin."

"I think it's you that's wishing Roberts, you've heard about my phenomenal skills and we both know you want some. And, frankly, I'm up for it, if you are baby."

"By wanting some, do you mean syphilis and gonorrhea, because if so, I'll pass."

He crossed his arms, making an hmfp noise with his thin lips "Why do all girls always play the STD card? I'M CLEAN. Jesus!"

"Okay baby, are you gonna cry now? Do you need your diaper changed?"

He smirked again "Baby, I'm all man. Wanna check for yourself?"

"…it's like the innuendos never stop."

"Don't stop? I know baby, I can go all night long…" he laughed.

nice try, for these games, i do not have the time

Taryn leaned into the front seat, where Riley was keeping her eyes on the road. "I'm seriously starving. Can you go any faster?"

"Why didn't you just eat before you came, you little baby? I have no idea where this place is."

"You have GPS. Fucking use it once in a while."

"I CAN DO IT TARYN! Sit the hell down."

Megan sighed, "Where are we going again?"

"Nicole's or Nikki's or something." Riley replied

Taryn responded, annoyed. "You don't even know the place of this dump? What if you go us all dolled up to sit in a damn pool hall?"

"Who cares anyways?"

"I DO! We could be at that guys party right now... You just want to go because Caleb invited you and you want to fuck him."

Riley rolled her eyes "First off, you don't look that cute, so shut up. Second, you are disgustingly crude."

"But I'm so right. If Caleb would dump that zombie girlfriend of his, you'd be all over him like white on rice. You love that good boy thing."

"You are absolutely ridiculous."

"It's really obvious, maybe you should work on your subtlety."

"Shut up. Hey Megs, is Ryland coming tonight?"

Megan ran a hand through her dark hair "Umm, well I don't know really… He's not really into to this scene…"

"So what, is he socially awkward or something?"

"Nooo, he just doesn't really get along with the Sons, supposedly."

Lia nodded, "I can understand. If I was a guy like Ryland, I would definitely be intimidated by the sheer attractiveness of the four of them…"

Megan huffed "You guys are so ridiculous! Just because he's a little different doesn't mean he's insecure or -."

Taryn rolled her eyes "BLAH BLAH BLAH, we're here."

Megan narrowed her green eyes "Just because you're excited to see your kinda-sorta-not really boyfriend, doesn't mean you can CUT ME OFF!"

well i've got nothing to hide, dip down and come for a ride

Nicky's was indeed something of a pool hall. They walked in and their senses bombarded by the smell of smoke and alcohol, the loud sounds of pool balls breaking and the loud chatter that fought the thumping music and most importantly, the very wonderful sight of the Sons of Ipswich.

Taryn flashed a smile towards the group, and made a bee line for the bar with Megan, Riley and Lia in tow. A big burly guy turned around, smiled "How may I help you guys?"

"Hi, could I get four burgers with beers please?"

He laughed "How old are you kid?"

She insisted "Old enough."

He laughed loudly again "Alright kid, four burgers & beers comin up."

While waiting for their order, Tyler walked up, plopping down next to Taryn. "Hey guys, I'm glad you could make it."

Riley smiled warmly "Yeah, well this sounded way better than sitting in our dorms watching old reruns."

"Yeah well, it's not as exciting as the ragers that happen sometimes, but we usually have a good time. Till Reid does something stupid."

Taryn snorted "Leave it to Garwin to screw up someone's night."

Appearing out of what seemed like thin air, Reid scoffed "Phillips, the way you talk about me, it almost seems like you like me or something."

Taryn rolled her eyes "In your dreams Garwin. Don't you have some freshman slut to screw?"

"Please, if you were in my dreams, you'd have to be a hell of a lot hotter then that. And I'm the one trying to get with Baby Boy, now am I?"

Tyler flushed slightly "Hey Reid, I think Abbott's up for another go…why don't you go set the bet and I'll be over in a few."

Reid adjusted his black beanie and winked at Tyler "Sure thing lover boy," before turning to Lia. "Would you care to join me?" as he outstretched an arm to her.

Lia rolled her eyes, but slinked her arm, so they were intertwined, and let him lead her to the main pool table.

Pogue yelled over "HEY! GUYS! OVER HERE!" Megan and Riley made their way to the table Caleb, Pogue and their girlfriends were sitting at, but Tyler and Taryn stayed behind.

Tyler said softly "You know, Reid only says those things to piss you off. He likes getting you riled up."

Taryn exhaled "Yeah, well, he's been doing a pretty good job lately…'

"Don't let him get to you, he's just being Reid. He's probably just pissed you rejected him."

She smiled "Yeah, well, I just like guys with dark hair better."

He laughed "Yeah? So Nicky's got a chance right?"

"He could, but I think I've got my eye on someone much younger…"

"Well, I could probably hook you up with some freshman. All on the down low though, we don't want all of them to pounce just yet."

Taryn laughed "Once you find him, be sure to let him know that I'm in Room 301 and I'm free anytime.

"BABY BOY! TIME TO PLAY!" Reid yelled loudly.

Tyler nodded, and looked at Taryn, "Come cheer me on?"

Taryn smirked "Well, I left my pleated skirt and pom poms at home…"

"You can put those on for me some other time," he replied, grabbing her hand guiding her to the pool table.

Once they arrived Reid smirked "Oh, hey little miss sunshine."

Taryn glared "Bite me douche bag."

"Kinky…I'll let Ty know you're into that kinda stuff."

"Really, are all your jokes that original?"

Abbott snapped "Garwin, stop talkin and start playin! I'm ready to beat your ass."

Reid laughed, making eye contact with Tyler, and set up for his first shot.

if you want me, call me, come and take a risk

Aaron Abbott was good at pool. But somehow, Garwin and Tyler were better. Lia and Taryn watched the game closely from behind, drinking beer after beer, and were amazed by their sheer luck. Reid and Tyler sunk it in, shot after shot, while Abbott grew frustrated with each 20 dollar bill he withdrew from his pocket. After Reid sunk his last ball, he smirked "So, do you want to get your ass beat again, or is it too sore by now?"

Abbott glared "Fuck you Garwin. I think we should up the wager a little, right boys?" His cronies sniggered and nodded, attempting to look intimidating.

"What, do you want to start losing hundreds too?"

"I'm thinking more of your girls over there…"

Lia said obnoxiously "How gross!"

Reid smirked "You're on."

Tyler sighed "Reid…"

Lia glared "Reid. What did I just say!"

"What, you think we're gonna lose now?"

Abbott laughed "What Simms, scared you'll lose the hottest piece of ass you've ever gotten to a stud like me?"

Taryn rolled her eyes "Stud? Please, you probably couldn't last over three minutes Abbott."

Aaron winked "Once I win, I will gladly prove you wrong baby girl."

She crossed her arms "You're disgusting."

As the game went on, Riley squeezed her side, "Hey, we're gonna go."

"No way, you aren't driving like that. You and Megan drank a little too much to drive back."

"Pogue's gonna drive us all to the dorms in our car…you comin?"

Tyler interrupted "I don't think so, you're my lucky charm!"

"But…"

"No buts. Do you really want me to lose this game against Abbott? Come on, I'll drive you home afterwards."

"Fine. You're lucky you're cute. Riles, I'll just see you later. Lia and I will be fine."

He beamed "I'll make it all up to you, promise."

"I'll be thinking of all the ways you can while I'm waiting."

He laughed, and walked back to the front of the table, grabbing his stick and aligning it for his next shot.

Lia blurted "Taryn if you don't get laid tonight, then there's obviously something wrong with you," before dissolving in a fit of giggles.

She rolled her eyes and said "Lia, if you don't end up on the bathroom floor in front of a toilet tonight, then there is a big chance you're gonna puke in your sleep and die."

"HAHA, so fucking funny."

please don't leave, stay in bed, touch my body instead

Throughout the game, Aaron and his cronies gave the two girls seedy looks, smirking to themselves. They really thought they were gonna win. And even worse, they thought that even if they did when, they'd be able to hook up with them. Finally, the last shot was underway. Reid didn't even take it seriously, strolling up to the table with his stick and lazily placing it in a good angle to sink the last ball. His hair fell into his blue eyes, and he didn't bother to brush it away, but continued with his shot, overshooting, causing it to slowly roll into the hole across from it.

Aaron yelled "BULLSHIT! YOU FUCKING CHEATED! HOW ON EARTH DID THAT FUCKING HAPPEN?"

Taryn sidled up to Tyler and Reid, smiling "Maybe you just aren't that good Abbott," before leaning up and giving Tyler a congratulatory kiss on the lips. Shocked, Tyler flushed slightly, before snaking an arm 'round her waist and kissing her back.

Aaron fumed "That's complete bullshit!"

Reid rolled his eyes "Man up Abbott, you lose again. Maybe Kira will feel sorry enough for you and give you some. Though, I wouldn't take it if I were you…"

"Well what about you Garwin, I don't see a girl jumping to go home with you, asshole."

He grabbed Lia, smirking "This cutie right here is my date for the rest of the night," leaning in to kiss her cheek. She whispered "I am NOT sleeping with you Garwin."

"I know that Gasparini…"

She grinned at him, playing along before kissing him chastely on the lips.

Aaron fumed before stomping out of the still crowded pool hall.

Reid nudged Tyler, who was still kissing Taryn "Come on Baby Boy, I'm driving home."

He quickly pulled away "WHAT?! It's MY car!"

"Life sucks, huh?"

Tyler sighed, grabbing Taryn's hand, following Lia and Reid to his car.

Once they got to the dorms Lia whispered as quietly as she could "I'm gonna crash in Meg and Riles room. Don't do anything I wouldn't!"

Reid quickly went into his dorm, smirking at Tyler before he closed his door. Tyler smiled "Here I'll walk you to your door." She laughed, and walked with him down the hall. The awkward silence was broken by a loud exhale of breath from Taryn, and Tyler quickly said "So, did you have fun?"

"Yeah, Nicky's is pretty cool…let's just not play pool all night next time."

"Promise. Well, here you are."

"Here I am…"

"Mmmh-" he began to say, before he was cut off by a kiss from Taryn. Once she pulled away, he smirked "You are quite the instigator today."

"I can't help it if I know what I want."

"I love a woman who takes charge."

"Good. You know, you're really starting to grow on me Tyler."

He laughed "Is that your way of telling me you like me?"

She huffed "Be a little less conceited mister! Don't be like Reid now, that's really not cu-"

He cut her off with a kiss. As he pulled away, he murmured "It's okay, I like you too. A lot actually."

"Good, because I've been craving a cuddle with you, but I only cuddle with my boyfriends."

"Is that so? I've been told that I'm a great cuddler."

"You should have told me that earlier. It's a key quality."

"I wish I did. I better get going though, before the guard comes and does his sweeps of the dorms."

"Why don't you come in for a little?"

"Or I could do that…" he smirked before following her into the dorm, shutting the door and locking it behind him.
