Jamie amazed everyone when she woke up at eight the next morning without any signs of a hangover. Unlike her, the boys all had to start their last week of school before Christmas Break. Otherwise, she would have been the only one awake for hours.
"What are you doing today while we all study our asses off for our exams?" Reid asked as Jamie lay covered up in his bed still.
"Please, like you've ever studied a day in your life!" Jamie retorted, throwing a small pillow at him as he worked on tying the tie for his school uniform. "I'm re-decorating for the holidays. I called Daddy before the party last night and he said I was more than welcome to hire a new decorator and get my mom's old furniture out. He says he'll be home by Christmas Eve too."
"You excited to see him?"
"He's my dad. Of course I am. Besides, it's been three years since I saw him last time."
"Oh well. I'm off to school," Reid announced more than a little apathetically.
"Do you want to meet for lunch maybe? The decorator won't be here until one."
"Yeah. Come by the school at eleven," Reid agreed.
"So, you want to tell me why my sister woke up in your bed this morning?" Tyler teased his best friend. He knew Reid wouldn't mess with Jamie; they were just friends. Besides, he would rather see Jamie with Reid than Aaron after what Aaron had said about Jamie the night before.
Reid's cheeks started to glow pink slightly. "I'm safe apparently. That's what she said anyway." Reid knew he would be teased for the rest of his life about that comment. All four boys burst out in laughter.
"Reid The Womanizer is the safest bed she could think of?" Pogue scoffed. Reid had a certain reputation with the girls around town. He wasn't exactly a charmer, or nearly as smooth as he thought he was, but he was known for having some rather unique "talents."
"What can I say? The ladies love me," Reid smirked.
"Hey! My sister doesn't count Dude!" Tyler corrected him. Tyler and Reid separated as they headed to separate classes across the hall from one another. Caleb and Pogue kept walking down the hall.
