"Parker, please remind me why we're doing this again" i sigh and roll my eyes at Peyton. She's probably the dumbest smart person i know.
"because Peyton, we're going to Nicky's" Pandora looks up from her book.
"what's Nicky's?"
"well aparently it's the place to be, just think of it as Ipswich's equivelant to Sanfran's P3" i said shruging and putting the finnishing touches on my outfit.
"riiiight, but why do we have to go?" Peyton asked refering to Pandora and herself.
"because, you need to stop acting like your eighty and need to stop worrying about demons and potions, you're seventeen, enjoy it, and because Pandora here needs to get out of her shell. We're in a new place, with a new start, lets not waste it, besides it'll be fun ...please?" i give them the puppy dog eyes which works everytime. Never fails. Peyton just rolls her eyes and start to get ready. I look over to Pandora who is still looking at me over the edge of her book.
" and what do you think you're doing? come on get ready, we're leaving soon!" Pandora smiles and jumps off her bed to get ready.
I end up wearing a pair of tight black jeans with a studded belt, a black tank top with a black half corset over the top, my black converse, a few multi-colored bangles, a necklace with the charmed symbol on it and i've left my haif down and wavy. Peyton ends up wearing a white long sleeved low cut top with low rider light blue jeans, black high heeled boots and her hair tied in a messy bun. And Pandora ends up wearing a tight grey turtle neck type sweater, tight black jeans and red ballet flat shoes while pinning a little bit of her hair back.
"well girls, lets go"
I walk into Nicky's first, being as i'm the only brave one in the family, nah just kidding. but i walk into Nicky's first, followed by Pandora and Peyton. Even though no one has stopped what they're doing, i can feel every males eyes on me and my sisters. It's kinda creepy. But on the bright side, this place looks pretty cool. They have a jukebox and a dance floor, food, fooseball and pool tables. ...i think i just might like Ipswich.
"hey, me and Pandora are going to get a table, would you get us two cokes?"
"sure" Peyton and Pandora go off to find us a table while i walk up to the bar. A big man, who i'm guessing is Nicky, walks up behind the bar.
"hey, what can i get you?"
"umm, three cokes and one side of fries"
The man nods and goes to get my order. Just as i'm about to turn around to get another look at this place. I feel someone lips next to my ear. "hey there beautiful" someone whispers. I slowly turn around and see a guy about my age, a little taller, blonde hair and blue eyes. not bad. he's actually quite hot. but he gets points taken away for thinking that i'm going to fall for that.
"can you tell me, honestly, how many girls have fallen for that?" He smirks. He looks even hotter when he does that.
"alot, why, you like what you see?"
"yeah, just not what i hear" He tilts his head to the side and looks confused. awwww. that is really cute!
"huh?"
"look blondie, you're hot, i know it, obviously you know it, and im sure alot of people know it, but i can tell already, just by that cheesy 'pick up line' that chances are...you're a complete jackass, so if you'll excuse me" I pay for my drinks and food, pick them up and brush past hot blonde guy and over to the table where Peyton and Pandora are.
REID's POV
"look blondie, you're hot, i know it, obviously you know it, and im sure alot of people know it, but i can tell already, just by that cheesy 'pick up line' that chances are...you're a complete jackass, so if you'll excuse me" She pays for her food and brushes past me. I watch where she goes. She sits at a table with those two other girls, her sisters i think. They're all in one of my classes. I only paid attention to her though. Parker Halliwell. Nice name.
No girl has ever done that to me before. She wasn't even slightly affected. Not even when i did the cute confused puppy look that the girls usually go ga ga for. This girl is going to be a litte difficult to get...a challenge even. maybe the God's finally answered my prayers.
I walk back over to my table where Caleb, Pogue and Tyler are sat.
"hahaha! did you just get turned down?"
"shut up Pogue! i did not get turned down"
"it sure looked lik it from here"
"look i didn't get turned down, she's just going to be a challenge that's all. im happy she's going to be a challenge, things around here were starting to get boring anyway"
"so if you didn't get turned down, who are those guys?" Tyler said while pointing over at Parker's table. I looked over and saw two guys sitting down with them. One with dark hair and one with blonde. what the hell? oh i don't think so, no body moves in on my girl! wait, did i just say 'my girl'? what the hell? she's not my girl, what is wrong with me? Reid Garwin does not have girlfriends! So why the hell am i getting up and walking over there right now ready to beat their brains out? Luckily the guys are following behind me so hopefully they'll stop me from doing something stupid.
"so i see you were flirting with that blonde guy at the bar" Peyton said to me.
"haha! flirting with him? i don't think so"
"oh come on, you can't say you didnt think he wasnt hot" oookay, this is not like Peyton. but okay.
"i never said that, i mean, yeah, he's hot, but it's just blantently obvious that he's a womanizing jackass, and for some weird reason, that just turns me off" that sarcastic comment earnt me a roll of the eyes from Peyton and Pandora laughing halfway though taking a gulp of her drink, so it was more like a choke from Pandora.
"not even one say here and you're already trying to off one another? wow, im proud" wait a minute, i know that voice...
"Wyatt!!" i shouted with a huge smile on my face. I turned around and saw my 'brother' stood with a smile on his face and his arms wide open. I jump up from my chair and immediatly hug him.
"hey Parksey" that's what he's always called me. kind of a silly nickname i know but i love it all the same.
"what are you doing here? wait, where's..." i didn't get to finnish my sentence before i see Chris walk out from behind Wyatt.
"you looking for me?" he said while smiling. We immediatly hug each other. Peyton and Pandora follow suit. Wyatt and Chris sit down with us.
"what are you guys doing here?"
"well, we just thought we'd come and see how you guys are doing, and we wanted to see what this place looked like" Wyatt said. Chris looked a little unsettled and i wasn't the only one who noticed.
"Chris, you okay?" Pandora asked him. He leaned into the table a little and lowerd his voice.
"there's magic here...there are other witches here, i can feel it" we all sit a little shocked at his news.
"what? are you sure?" Peyton never believes anything.
"of course i'm sure, can't you feel it? ...it feels like four seperate energies, could be five...two are stronger than the others, i think two of them may have already come into their powers..." Chris is immediatly cut off by the blonde guy from the bar walking over and with his friends too. He grabs a chair and sits down next to me.
"hey sweets, miss me?" At this, Chris and Wyatt go into over protective big brother mode, but Chris has more of a short fuse than Wyatt, less patience too.
"and who the hell are you?!" now you see, it's stuff like this that makes it obvious me and Chris are related. But i don't think blondie quite gets it.
"i'm Reid Garwin and i want to know why you're sat with Parker, here" okay, now this i have to roll my eyes at, but atleast blondie has a name now.
"if i want to sit with my sister, i think i have the right jackass!!" Reid's face was a sight to see. He was so shocked it took all my strength not to laugh and looking around it looked like everyone else was having a hard time not laughing too.
"b-b-brother?!" Reid looked shocked and relieved? while Chris was fuming angry.
"yes, my sister, now could you please tell me why the hell you're talking like you own her?!"
"look, man, it was my mistake i just thought that ..." Reid was strugaling to explain himself but luckily one of his friends came to his rescue. I think his name is Caleb or something. He leaned over and held his hand out to Chris.
"hi, i'm Caleb Danvers, sorry about my friend here, he doesn't really have any people skills" Chris looked at his hand before turning and looking to Wyatt, who was sat back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest.
"why aren't you bothered by this?" Wyatt just laughed.
"Chris, he's completly harmless, Parker could take this guy with her hands tied behind her back and eyes closed, there's no real need for concern...no offence" he said over to Reid who just shrugged. Wyatt held out his hand to Caleb, who shook it. "hi, i'm Wyatt and that's Chris, we're Peyton, Parker and Pandora's brothers, it's nice to meet you, and sorry about my brother but he has a tendency to be a little over protective sometimes" Caleb just smiled and introduced his friends.
"nice to meet you, these are my friends, Pogue Parry and Tyler Simms"
"hey, why don't you guys pull up a seat?" Wyatt offered, which earned him a glare from Chris. "oh stop glaring, Peyt. Park and Dora are going to be living here for a while now, i think it would be nice for them to make some friends"
"yes, it would be nice for them, but i'm sure they can magically make their own friends without having to have us hover around" (translation - are you stupid? these are the 'magical energies' i could feel earlier, they have magic!!!) Peyton, Pandora and Wyatt immediatly got what Chris was trying to say, but to not draw attention they went along with it.
"im sure they can but i'm just trying to help"
"maybe you need to read up on your people skills" (translation - we need to go through the book of shadows and see what's up with these guys).
"ha ha real funny Chris. Well look, we only cmae down to see how you guys are doing so we'll leave you all to it, but we'll 'pop' back in to keep in touch" We all nod and Wyatt and Chris get up and walk out side after giving us all a kiss on the cheek. As soon as Chris walked out the door, Reid immediatly moved closer to me.
"so Parker, how about you and me go play a friendly game of pool?" he asked me with a smirk.
"maybe that's not such a good idea, Reid's kind of the un defeated champion" his friend Tyler said. Pandora finally decided to talk.
"well i wouldn't be so quick to write Parker off, she's pretty good at it" Aww they both looked at each other and blushed, i think love may just be in the air.
"well what do you say Parkie?"
"as long as you never call me 'Parkie' again, sure"
We walked over to one of the pool tables and he racked up.
"how about we make this a little more interesting?" he asks me with a smirk.
"...sure"
"if i win, you have to kiss me, on the lips, and then go out on a date with me, if you win...i'll stop calling you Parkie"
"no, if i win, you stop calling me Parkie and you have to do anything i say for a whole week" Reid looked in deep thought for a minute before looking straight at me and smiling.
"deal"
The last ball on the table was the eight ball. We are both tied. "well baby girl, it's your shot" He smirked again. I bent over the table, very aware that Reid was openly staring at my ass, and lined up my shot. I hit the ball and it went straight towards the pocket but it veared off. Immediatly i knew that it was in fact him and his friends who were the other witches. And if Reid wants to play dirty, fine, i'll play dirty. I used my magic to sink the ball into the pocket. I stood up and turned around to face a shocked Reid. "what?...how?...huh?"
"aww, looks like i win...since tonight is monday, that means you doing anything i say, starts right now" Reid still looks completly shocked. But since we both used our powers, we can't really be sure who would of won sooo...i grab him and kiss him. It takes a moment for him to realise what's happening before he drops the pool cue on the floor, grabs my waste pulls me closer and kisses me deeper.
Ipswich is looking better everyday.
