"Goooood morning, Riley! How's my best friend doing this lovely morning?"

Ugh… not this early. Please?

Slamming my locker door shut, I find Reid smiling at me. "Cut the bullshit, Reid. I know it's the last day of fall term. You don't have to remind me."

"Aw, why so bitchy, Riles? Bad night last night?"

"You don't even know."

"What happened?"

"Well long story short, Keith told me last night that he hooked up with his ex when he went home for the weekend. So I broke up with him."

"Just in time for our lovely date."

"Yeah. Shit happens. He was too nice anyways. Well, besides the cheating part. Plus, things were getting boring. I need a little spice in my relationships."

Reid smirks, but my eyes don't catch it. Instead, I catch a glimpse of Keith walking towards me.

"Hey Riley."

"Keith." I say, glancing at Reid, who immediately steps between Keith and me, blocking my view.

"Reid, its fine."

"No. It's not, Riley. He's not gonna talk to you after what he did." Reid says, never taking his eyes off of Keith.

"You know Reid, I've never liked you. You walk around like you own this fucking place. If you died today, I could give a shit less. I think that'd be the best day of my life. The only reason I put up with your ass is because I care about Riley."

Reid laughs. "Well apparently you don't care about her too much. It took you one weekend trip home to cheat on her."

I glance around the hallway, noticing the crowd surrounding us.

"No one treats my best friend like that and gets away with it." Reid shoves Keith back. Keith returns the shove, pushing Reid into me.

"What's going on here?" I glance past Reid to see Caleb, Pogue and Tyler stepping into the circle of people around us.

"Hey bro! I'm actually fighting with this dickhead right now. He wasn't very nice to Riley." Reid says, smirking while his hands ball into fists by his sides.

"Well why don't you cut it out Reid? No sense on beating his face in. It's not like they're dating anymore." Pogue says, stepping between Reid and Keith.

Gee. Isn't this a lovely family moment. Let me tell you, I'm really feeling the love floating around us. I feel like I'm involved in that 'train' dance. But, to be honest, I'm not minding this position.

Being crammed in between cold lockers and a hot Reid gives me a little warm sensation. It's really not as bad as you would think. It's actually quite nice, being that my face is practically resting against his gorgeous, muscular and sexy back.

Oh and no pun intended on the sexy back part. He does have a sexy back, YUP!

In attempt on preventing anymore of the fight, I place my hand on Reid's side. His head turns slightly, glancing at me, and then he looks back at Keith.

Pogue grasps Reid's shoulder and pulls him away from Keith. I follow closely behind them. The crowd breaks up slowly. Before too many people can move, Reid pulls out of Pogue's grasp. He slightly pushes me out of the way, causing me to fall into Tyler.

Reid runs up to Keith, who is looking in the other direction, and shoves him into a nearby set of lockers. Keith quickly gets up, throwing a punch at Reid, who falls into the opposite set of lockers. The two boys, more like idiots, fall into a punching match on the floor.

Caleb and Pogue run over to the, pulling them apart as teachers rush out of their classrooms into the crowded hallway.

"What is going on here?!" Provost Higgins yells, running into the middle of the circle. Me and Tyler push through to see the scene.

Keith's nose is bleeding and he keeps wincing. Reid on the other hand, well, doesn't look much better. He has a bloody lip and his cheek is already starting to swell. That'll be a big bruise tomorrow!

"Everyone get out of here now! Don't you all have some studying to do for your exams in a half hour?" Provost Higgins yells out. In result, everyone splits; except for the boys and I.

"Mr. Danvers and Mr. Parry, thank you for breaking this absurd fight up. Now as for Mr. Garwin and Mr. Biles, I realize that this is the last day of fall term. But that is no excuse for this behavior. I suspect that it was over something very little; therefore I'm letting it slide. I also realize that tempers are running thin due to the exam stress and all, so I'm just going to assume that your stress levels are unusually high. But mark my words, if this ever happens again, you will be severely punished. Now go wash up. You have 25 minutes before you're needed in class for your exams."

The provost leaves the hallway. Reid pushes Caleb off of him and walks up to Keith. Pogue quickly steps in between them again.

"This isn't over you fucking, pussy."

"Reid." Caleb says warningly.

The blonde walks past me and Tyler, heading into the boys bathroom. I glance at Caleb, who nods towards the bathroom.

I sigh… Why do I have to go? It's not like I started it! Well, kinda… Maybe it was a bad idea to tell Reid the Keith cheated on me.

Ok For future reference, don't tell Reid about my relationship problems.

I walk towards the door Reid entered seconds ago and push it open with my hand covering my closed eyes. Yeah, I'm using double eye protection. I'm entering the unsafe zone.

"Reid?"

"I'm the only one in here. You can look."

I listen, and uncover my eyes, seeing Reid slouched against the sink, staring down as the water runs. I grab some paper towels and walk over to Reid, placing them under the running water.

"Turn around."

He complies, and sits on the sink, spreading his legs enough for me to fir in between them. I reach up, wiping the blood that has run down his chin from his busted lip.

He stares at me as I clean his face. For a second, our eyes lock, but I quickly break the uncomfortable contact.

"You shouldn't fight, Reid."

He scoffs. "Then what should I do? Let him walk all over you? Let it slide like its nothing. Fuck that shit, Riley."

"Yeah you should let it slide. Fighting doesn't solve anything, Reid. It's not worth getting expelled for. He's just a guy."

"I don't care Riles! He shouldn't have fucked with you! He fucks with you, he fucks with me."

"But I took care of it, Reid!"

"And I made it stick in his brain to not fuck you over!" He says standing up and looking down at me.

"Look Reid, I can handle myself. You know that. You're lucky you got off with a warning!"

He rolls his eyes. "You sound like fucking Caleb. I don't need this shit. I fucking stick up for you and then you bitch me out. It's fucking ridiculous!"

"Reid! I'm not bitchi-"

I stop mid sentence as Reid kicks one of the bathroom door stalls, making it fly off the hinges. He turns around, making his black eyes present.

"Reid… calm down." I hold up my hand slightly.

He moves towards me and I quickly move out of his way. He stares at me and then punches one of the mirrors. It shatters, leaving piece strewn all over the bathroom floor.

"Reid! Stop it!"

He doesn't listen to me as he pulls the paper towel dispenser off of the wall, throwing it on the floor.

"Reid!" I back into the corner, sliding down the wall, and sitting on the floor. I pull my legs up in attempt to shield my face from the chaos happening around me. All I hear is Reid continuing to demolish the bathroom as I close my eyes against my knees.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Come on guys. Riley will handle it. Let's go get something to eat real quick." Caleb says to Pogue and Tyler. The boys walk down the hallway, arriving in the cafeteria. Sarah and Kate are already sitting at their normal table when the boys sit down.

"Hey you two! Why are you so late?"

"Reid decided he was going to get in a fight with Keith because he cheated on Riley. So we got a little side tracked."

"Oh my god! Is everything okay?" Sarah asked quickly.

"Yeah he just-" Caleb stops mid sentence.

"You felt it too didn't you?" Tyler questions.

"Felt what?" Kate asks.

"Someone's using." Caleb says, "I I think I have a pretty good idea who." He turns to Pogue.

"Reid."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He forms an energy ball in his hands, sending into the trash can.

"Reid! Stop it!" I yell from my balled up position. He punches another mirror. I push myself up from the floor and run up to him. I wrap my arms around his torso as tight as I can. I lay my head on his back.

"Please Reid. Stop it. You're scaring me so much right now."

He turns around, staring down at me with his black eyes. I bring my hand to his face, rubbing his unswollen cheek. "Come on, Reid. Change your eyes."

Fire presents itself briefly and the bathroom returns to its previous form. His eyes return to their normal shade of blue. He reaches up, pulling my face to meet his lips. He gives me a few strong kisses before brushing my lip with his tongue.

The bathroom door swings open revealing the three other boys. They see us making out and quickly shut the door.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Those two are so confusing." Pogue says.

"Well, they're crazy about each other. They just don't realize it yet." Caleb says. "I guess Reid cleaned up before we got there. I'm still going to have to have a talk with him."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We break apart minutes later.

"So Riley… how many guys did you get?"

"Reid…"

"Aw come on! Let's just get it over with now. I got 42." He says, smiling brightly.

"What? 42?" I'm in complete shock.

He smirks. "Yep. And I'm not even counting the 2 girls that I brought to the shore; we just fooled around a little bit."

"Damnit." I say quietly.

"So, how many Riles?"

"Keith was my 41st. Meaning…"

"I WON! Hell yeah!!! You know what this means, Riles!!!" He says pinching my cheeks.

"Yes Reid." I swat his hands away.

"Come on Riles. Say it."

"You, Reid Garwin, won the bet."

"And."

I glare at him. "And you really know how to ruin a moment."

"Say it."

"AND…" My eyes narrow at him, "I have to spend one night with you, doing whatever you want."

"And?"

"Sex included."

"Yeahhhhh. Well let's see here. What night Riles? I'm thinking Friday. No Saturday. Or how about Sunday, cause we won't have school."

I begin walking out of the bathroom with Reid following closely beside me. He casually places his arm around my shoulders as we walk to class.

"Or wait! I know, we could go out tonight! You'd like that wouldn't you Riles? Well, no, maybe we can wait a couple days. You know, give me time to plan-"

"Reid!"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up! You're already driving me crazy!" I glance up at him.

"Does that mean you wanna go out tonight?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
