A/N: Wow! Thanks to Niffer01, Raging Raven, and Angelsgift00 for their reviews. Also to everyone who put this story on their alerts list. I know there are a lot of questions to answer, but the truth will come out slowly. I know her name's a little weird but...whatever. Sarka is a real last name, is Czech and means 'grey'. Enjoy!
"I swear, it'll take me like two seconds to change, and then we'll go to Nicky's," Sarah said, smiling sweetly at Caleb.
"Since when has it ever taken a girl two seconds to change?" Reid asked, smirking.
"Man, shut up, and let her change," Tyler said, "I'll call Pogue and tell him to meet us there,"
They quickly walk towards Sarah's dorm room, the echoing silence only broken by Reid dragging his feet and Tyler talking quietly on his cell. I'm sooo bored! Nicky's again? Not like it ain't fun taking Abbot's money, but it'll probably end up a repeat of last Saturday. Well, hopefully not with the mystery girl and a trip to hospital. Maybe I'll piss of Caleb and get into a fight. That'd liven things up.
The cops had called a couple days later to explain that they still hadn't found out who the girl was, or how she had disappeared. They couldn't figure out how she had managed to stay under the radar. The doc said that even a week later, the girl would still be a walking bruise. Reid and the rest of the Sons knew that Chase had something to do with it, but until he made a move, there was nothing they could do. The girls probably dead – or worse.
Reid was pulled out of his musings by Caleb's confused voice. "I didn't know you had a new roommate,"
"Neither did I," Sarah replied, equally confused. They all looked for a moment in puzzlement at the lights glowing behind the frosted glass of Sarah's room. Sarah opened the door cautiously, peering round before opening it completely. She stepped quietly into the room, followed by the boys.
Holy Shit!
They were greeted by the sight of a girl, maybe 5'6", dressed in men's boxers, slouchy socks and a long sleeved t-shirt, dancing crazily to some fast-paced acoustic guitar music. Nice ass.
"Um, hi," Sarah said, startling the girl and causing her to spin around in shock.
Hello, baby!
She had full very kissable lips and thick, straight, and choppy blue-black hair that just touched her shoulders. Icy-grey eyes surrounded by long, black lashes, currently widened in surprise. Not my normal type, but hey! I ain't complaining.
"Hi," she squeaked. Then apparently finding her voice, she replied much more calmly, "You must be Sarah. I'm Talia Sarka, your new roommate," She said walking over to shake Sarah's hand. "I just transferred in today, I guess they didn't tell you huh?"
"No. Well welcome to Spencer!" Sarah said, ever cheerful and polite. "I'm Sarah Wenham, but I guess you all ready know that," she laughed, "This is my boyfriend Caleb Danvers, and our friends Tyler Simms and…"
"Garwin, Reid Garwin," he said, pushing past and taking her hand.
She cocked her head to the side for a moment and then replied without blinking, "Is that like Bond, James Bond?" Huh. Smart ass. I think. There was something about the innocence of her expression that made him wonder if she was actually making fun of him.
"Uh, sure. Talia Sarka, hmm? That's a weird name," he commented, giving his best charming smile. It wasn't working.
"It's not weird, it's eastern European," She frowned, then turning to Sarah, said, "I took the bed to the left, it seemed to be unoccupied. I can turn the music down or off if you want," she smiled, ignoring Reid.
"Actually, I was just stopping off to change, we're going to Nicky's. You can come if you want, it's where everyone hangs out. You can meet out other friend, Pogue," she said, with a knowing look in her eyes. She's trying to fix them up. Great. Baby Boy's no competition, but Pogue'll give me a run for my money if he's in the mood.
"Uh, okay. That sounds nice. Just let me change," Talia replied looking a little unsure. She grabbed a duffle bag from next to Kate's – her – bed, moving quickly into the small bathroom.
"Great. Baby Boy, call Pogue, tell him we'll be a couple hours late," Reid sighed flopping on to Sarah's bed.
Sarah shot him a glare, saying, "Kate was nice to me when I transferred in. Don't be a jerk," A scorching insult from Sarah.
"Whatever." Just as Reid had resigned himself to wasting the night waiting, the door opened and she walked back out, wearing jeans and a red long-sleeved flowy blouse-thing. Her hair was down, but pinned back from her face. She didn't appear to be wearing any make up.
"You look nice," Sarah said, before grabbing her own clothes and quickly changing. There was an awkward silence.
"So. Uh, where'd you go to school before?" Tyler asked softly.
"Chicago. My brother moved to Boston for his work, so I transferred here to be closer," Talia replied, smiling gratefully at Tyler.
"Your brother? What about you parents? Didn't they want you or something?" Reid asked, pissed at her for snubbing him.
"Reid!" Caleb scolded. Reid shrugged, Whatever.
Sarah walked out of the room the find Caleb and Tyler glaring at Reid, and her new roommate staring at her shoes. Choosing not to ask what stupid thing Reid had said, she grabbed her purse and hooked her arm in Caleb's, saying, "Shall we go?"
Talia looped her arm though Baby Boy's whispered something apparently funny in his ear, then shot Reid a glare over her shoulder as he followed them out of the room.
This should be fun. Not.
