Hannah modeled her outfit to Alissa and Jayne, the hacker had joined their video chat and given her own advice.

"I have no idea what the typical average teen boy likes, you remember I've spent the last two years holed up in my house correct?" Jayne asked.

"Yeah but that doesn't mean you can't tell me if I look like a hot mess at least. Do you think I should wear my hair up?" Hannah asked her friend for advice, ignoring the girl's attempt at getting out of friendship duty.

"No, I'm telling you wear it down. You want to show your vitality and fertility," Alissa said excitedly, happy that her friend was branching out and meeting new people; not to mention incredibly good looking new people from Hannah's report.

"Is she going to dinner or an insemination party?" Jayne asked sardonically.

Alissa rolled her eyes at the girl with rectangle framed glasses, slightly annoyed that both of her friends were so out of touch with the social world.

"It's just a dinner," Hannah answered, hoping to mitigate possible conflict. "But I do want to make a good impression at the same time not seem like I'm trying to make a good impression."

"What kind of parameters are those?"

"This isn't an experiment, this is a social situation that needs to be handled delicately," Alissa replied.

"Yes, exactly. I haven't been around the general population since first grade, I don't know how to talk to them."

"Try using small words," Jayne advised, Hannah was unsure if her friend was being serious or sarcastic.

"Well you're well versed in football, so maybe you can talk about that. Boys like football right?"

"Yeah that should be a safe topic, do I bring it up or should I wait until they bring it up?"

"Why are you dumbing yourself down for social acceptance again?" Jayne asked.

"I'm not dumbing myself down, I just won't bring up certain topics I'm sure they might not..." Hannah tried to explain without sounding officious.

"Have any clue what you'd be talking about?"

Doubt and insecurity started to seep into Hannah as her friend's pessimism got to her. She sat down on her bed, her shoulders slumped, and she lay her head in her hands.

"I'm starting to think maybe this was a bad idea."

"NO! It's a great idea, Jayne's just being a Negative Nancy. Don't listen to her, listen to me. You'll be great. He asked you out, there were literal sparks between you; it's meant to be," Alissa said to encourage her friend.

"What is she talking about?"

"When I first met Tyler, we had an instance of static shock and she seems to think that the discharge of separated electric particles is somehow indicative of some sort of predetermined meeting."

Jayne thought the very idea was preposterous and instead of replying with some snarky remark, she settled with a raised eyebrow and an incredulous look.

"Don't give me that look, did you also tell her you haven't experienced a hallucination since your serendipitous meeting with the boy?"

"There was nothing serendipitous about it, he made an appointment for tutoring and showed up," Hannah replied, avoiding Alissa's valid point.

"Yeah that you said was last minute. Face it, you can try to logic your way out of this all you want but you have to admit that there is something going on that science can't explain."

"What are you studying at Peabody again?" Jayne asked, wondering how someone could be a genius and believe in such nonsense at the same time.

"Chaos and game theory."

"OK that explains a lot."

Alissa stuck out her tongue at Jayne and continued to talk to Hannah,

"Stop avoiding the issue at hand Hannah. Didn't you tell me while I was saving your ass from the horde, that you hadn't had a hallucination in hours? Basically since you had met Tyler? When's the last time you had gone without one for so long?"

Hannah remained silent as she tried to remember a time when she had gone for so long without seeing something that wasn't there and she was coming up blank. Even when she had been on medication, she had glimpses of hallucinations and her friend was correct. When she was with Tyler, all she could remember was his intense blue eyes and ionic charged scent of ozone and sea water.

"I don't think Tyler is the cause of it, at least not in the way you are suggesting," which was Hannah's way of conceding without acknowledging that she believed in any type of destiny.

"It's very possible I was distracted so much by his eyes and utterly manly scent that I could have missed hallucinations."

"OK, I'm looking this kid up. If he's that good looking then I need to see him," Jayne said at Hannah's confession.

"Come on Jayne, don't do that. I'll get pics or something but don't invade his privacy."

"Han, I'm a teenage agoraphobic shut in. I need this to keep me entertained."

"Fine, just don't tell me anything you find."

"You sure? What if he's a serial killer? Or worse, what if he listens to Nickelback?"

All three friends snickered at the joke, the tension eased.

"No, I don't want to be that creepy girl who stalks the beautiful people...no offense Jayne."

"None taken...wow. OK I see what the big deal is about," she said as she pulled up his picture.

"Ohhhh let me see," Alissa commanded the hacker.

Jayne obliged and put a picture of Tyler onto their chat window. The handsome student appeared in his school uniform, Jayne had found a school photo of him. Alissa saw that Hannah had no over-exaggerated any of her details on the male and he was indeed as beautiful as she made him to be.

"Holy shit...I'm transferring to Spencer. Fuck Peabody."

"See! I told you. Do I look OK?" Hannah asked as she twirled her final choice.

Alissa and Jayne looked over Hannah and contemplated their friend's wardrobe. She had chosen the navy blue baby doll t-shirt that had a TARDIS and gray weeping angels statues holding the time machine with the caption "The Angels have the Phone Box." She finished the outfit with a simple pair of jeans and matching navy blue chuck's. Her hair was down, as Alissa had insisted, with a dark blue flower clip with a single white rhinestone in the middle above her right ear.

The shirt was small enough that it accentuated what little curves she had on her chest and highlighted her small stomach. Alissa knew that the dinner was important because not only could Hannah make new friends but it was possible her friend could end up with a male suitor. She wanted to give Hannah the best chance possible with the sexual competition so she made another suggestion.

"I think you should wear a skirt, do you have that loli netted skirt from Nekocon?"

"Really? You think it'll go with the shirt and my shoes?"

"Yeah because the shirt is girly in its cut and you have the flower in your hair. The shoes could be better but I know you don't own anything other than sneakers and chucks."

"What about my kilted skirt with the buckles? Wouldn't that match better?"

"Yeah but you don't want it to seem like you're wearing another version of the uniform."

"That's true," Hannah conceded as she changed into the suggested clothing. "OK, how's this?"

"I like it! It shows off your runner's legs."

"I don't know, seems kind of 'easy access' if you know what I mean," Jayne said, giving her opinion.

"No it doesn't. Don't listen to her Hannah, you look hot."

"Well she doesn't want to give off the message that she's going to just have sex with this guy."

"But I do want to have sex with him."

"OK, yeah but not right way. Let him work for it at least. Take you out to a real dinner and not the cafeteria."

"But she does want to subtly say that she's sexually available with subliminal messages such as her clothing. Her attitude is what is going to let them know that she's not just going to jump into bed with them."

"Yeah I mean I don't care about societal expectations about virginity but I would like my first time to be in a nice hotel or something."

"And from my research, men are easy to the point of being whorish so it's going to be up to you to set the pace."

"If that's what you really want to do then yeah, the outfit is perfect."

"Thanks guys! I'll see you in an hour or two and fill you in on what happened."

Meanwhile in the boy's dorm...

Reid and Tyler made a quick stop at the communal showers to wash off the chlorine smell of the pool and swiftly went to their room to change for dinner.

The blonde could tell his roommate was nervous by his wardrobe choice.

"Man, you're trying too hard. You're way to dressed up for the mess hall."

He was talking about Tyler's choice of khakies and button down shirt. The color looked amazing on him, making his eyes pop but it was too dressy for just the cafeteria. Tyler looked his choice up and down and realized the blonde was right. There was no way he wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb when every other student was going to be much more casual.

"You're right. I don't know what the hell I'm doing," he said slightly frustrated and began to change into something else.

"Relax, it's just a dinner. It's not even a date, we're getting to know her. Slowly and all that jazz, isn't that what you wanted?"

"I did...I still do but..." he struggled with how to explain his new feelings when it came to the witch.

"It's hard to explain. I want to go slowly but my body...my magic doesn't. When we touched it was electric."

"You're such a romantic Tyler," Reid teased.

"No seriously, there was an actual spark between us when we touched. And my body recognized her as a witch before I could. You don't know how badly I just wanted to kiss her right then and there in the library. And she smells like coconuts, it makes my mouth water."

"So that explains why I was really hoping they'd have coconut scream pie at dinner tonight."

"I'm serious Reid, I'm thinking taking a page out of your book and trying to seduce this girl as quickly as possible but at the same time I don't want her to feel like I'm just using her for sex."

"That's really sweet of you but you can't really have it both ways. I mean, are you looking for a girlfriend?"

"No not really. I like the freedom of being single but I guess with the way we're made, we're supposed to be with someone."

Reid shook at the frightening concept. Being a one woman man was not something he had ever plan on being, especially if he had to share said woman. He didn't know Hannah but in his experience it was impossible to find a girl who would be cool with just the sex. Especially in the upper echelon of their economic group where every girl was looking to become a Mrs. and secure her lifestyle.

"And at the same time I do want her for myself. At least at first, I had this intense possessive craving for her when we were together," Tyler went on. He stood up and walked to were the blonde was standing, getting close to him as they were getting into the habit of doing. He placed his head against Reid's, trying to convey how much he wanted to be with Hannah first.

"I know that you need her too and I'll still stay away from her if she rejects you but I need to at least taste her. I need to feel her under me, at least once."

Reid understood what Tyler was trying to say. He was starting to dread the meeting with the witch, not liking how hooked his roommate had become after one meeting. A fear started to build within him, worried that he too would unwillingly produce emotions he had never had for a female and had only started to feel for Tyler. Wanting someone that badly was not something he was ready to feel, especially since he had already felt it for his friend. Needing two people was a terrifying concept because he knew that in the end, all he could depend on was himself. In the end he would prove too selfish and conceited to give Tyler the love he deserved. He knew that one day the brunette would see all that Reid lacked and look elsewhere but in the meantime he was going to take whatever Tyler was willing to give him.

"Hey Baby Boy, don't worry. You're the best man for her and I won't get in the way of that. Wear the dark blue jersey shirt with jeans, it'll make your eyes stand out," Reid suggested with a kiss.

The two warlocks stood in their intimate embrace, kissing and enjoying the feel of each other. Tyler felt a closeness that he had never felt with anyone. He felt an instant lust and admiration for the witch but it didn't compare to the content feeling he felt with the blonde. He knew the situation could get messy and complicated quickly but it was something he knew he had to explore. It could be the best thing in his life or ruin a lifelong friendship but with how Reid made him feel in that moment, he felt it was worth the risk.

They finally parted and finished getting ready.

Tyler stood in front of his best friend and nervously asked if he looked alright.

"Well I want to fuck you, so I'm sure Hannah won't be able to help herself," the blonde said with a wicked smile and lewd wink.

All Tyler could do was laugh and give Reid a quick kiss as they left to meet the girl that could save them from a dire fate.

Hannah stood at the entrance of the mess hall, hoping she didn't look as lost as she felt. She cursed her need to be punctual because for five agonizing minutes she had to stand by herself in an unknown place while other students passed by her. She self-consciously smoothed out her clothing, second guessing her choice in what to wear. She wasn't dressed up but everyone else was dressed in jeans; she wondered if she looked out of place.

Tyler and Reid met Pogue and the girls as they left the dorms and went to the mess hall.

"So Tyler, Pogue tells me we're meeting the new girl? Have anything to add to that?" Kate asked teasingly, treating him as a younger brother who had a crush on the new girl.

The youngest of the group blushed, knowing what kind of thoughts he had about the new girl and what exactly he wanted out of the dinner.

"Ummm could you just be cool please? She's really nice but she's..."Tyler tried to think of the nicest way to describe Hannah's quirks.

"A huge nerd?" Reid finished for him.

"Is that why we haven't seen her around? Is she really shy?" Sarah asked, trying to be as cordial as she could, knowing how it was to be the "new girl" at a school like Spencer.

"No you haven't seen her because she's in TaG."

The two girls were impressed by the admission. The entire TaG wing was off limits to them but they had been curious as to how the other half of the school operated.

"OK so she's not just a nerd, she's like a mega super genius nerd." Kate stated.

"Yeah, I mean I'm here on scholarship but I couldn't get into TaG. So how did you even meet her?" Sarah asked.

"Through tutoring, she's really good too. I actually felt like I learned something. There she is," Tyler pointed out the curly haired girl in the distance.

"Aww she's cute Tyler." Kate commented.

"Yeah so could you guys just be nice to her? Like I know you're always nice but could you make an effort?"

"Oh my God Ty, you really like this girl. It's so cute how you're blushing. We have to meet her now."

"Well it's good that Ty has good taste because smart girls rock." Sarah joined the teasing.

Pogue knew what the dinner meant and chose to refrain from the good natured teasing, remaining silent.

The two girls and Pogue went ahead of the two other males, eager to get to dinner.

Reid fell behind to talk to Tyler,

"She is cute Ty. Thank God. Nice legs," he observed as he checked out the witch. He was more than glad that he wouldn't have to force himself to sleep with her, he'd more than willing to sleep with her. He felt the pull to her grow stronger as they got closer and he was starting to understand why Tyler came to him so worked up earlier that afternoon.

Hannah saw Tyler coming towards her with a group of people; some of them she recognized. She was shocked because with their close formation and body language, she deduced that they all new each other.

"Holy shit, what are the effing odds that two guys I was gushing over with my friends know the first guy I've squeed over? Actually that's simple to figure out. If I take the total population of the school and..." she lost herself in thought and momentarily forgot she was supposed to meeting with people.

So there was an awkward pause from when the group of friends stood in front of Hannah and when she finally noticed their presence.

She snapped out of her calculation when she realized she probably looked spaced out and smiled, hoping they didn't think she was a total spaz.

"Hey Hannah, these are my friends. Reid, Sarah, Kate, and Pogue." Tyler politely introduced the group. "Guys, this is Hannah."

"Hi!" she greeted warmly, extended her hand to shake their hands. Reid was the closest to her and he went to shake her hand, wanting to make contact.

There was an audible snap as electricity arched between them. It was the same thing that happened earlier between her and Tyler, she quickly retracted her hand, embarrassed that it had happened again.

"I knew I should have worn my hair up, stupid static," she berated herself and out loud she said,

"Sorry, the dry air must be making my hair more prone to being staticy than normal," she apologized and started to explain, really hoping her voice didn't betray the intense arousal she was experiencing by the blonde's touch. She was baffled that not only did the shock happen twice but the same feelings were blooming inside her for two different guys.

"Yes, the Triboelectic effect, it's no problem. These things happen and it's worth the shock for all your gorgeous hair," Reid said smoothly, giving his signature melting smile that made Hannah weak in the knees. She didn't know enough about social interaction to catch the incredulous look Tyler gave his friend, unbelieving that he would take what he said earlier and use it to charm Hannah.

"Thank you," she said shyly, not used to the attention. "I'm surprised you know that, it's not a common term among..." she stopped herself from the derogatory term "Joe" that she and her friends coined for regular students and she finished with " with most people."

"Well, I'm not like most people. I'm sure you'll find that out soon enough."

"I can tell that now given that you have blonde hair and blue eyes, you'd actually only be roughly

.00009 to 1% like other people."

The group of friends suddenly understood why Tyler had asked them to make an effort as the girl was a bit strange.

"Well, anyway it's nice to meet all of you. I should be tapped out," she said trying to make a joke as she touched a metal door knob, to test and see if she'd shock anyone else. When nothing happened she was satisfied she wouldn't further embarrass herself and shock the other students.

Kate and Sarah gladly shook her hand but Pogue put his arm around Kate, trying to busy his hands and make any excuse not to touch the witch. He knew that what happened between her and Reid was not due to static discharge and didn't want the same thing happen to him.

Kate thought it was a bit strange that Pogue was being so weird but decided not to question why he simple nodded his greeting to the new girl.

Hannah was a bit perturbed that the handsome tall male didn't want to touch her and she wondered if he had some sort of germ phobia; something she was used to dealing with at Peabody. But an intuitive feeling told her that the male was somewhat hostile with the way he was looking at her. His eyes seemed dark and distrustful, as if he knew something about her that he didn't like.

"Lets go inside and get something to eat," Tyler said to move things along, not liking how Pogue and Reid were looking at her.

He felt the need to exert his claim and he placed his hand on the small of her back, leading her to their usual spot.

Everything seemed to fall away and all Hannah could feel was his hand on her, radiating heat. She wished nothing more than for him to move his hand under her shirt and get skin to skin contact. She wondered if he could sense how nervous she was and how much he affected her.

They got to their table and Kate instantly took Hannah away from him.

"Well boys, you guys watch our table while we go get our food. Let us get to know Hannah a bit more."

The girls were gone before anyone could argue and the males left alone to talk about what just happened.

"Well I'm glad I'm wearing baggy jeans, Jesus Ty, you could have warned me that I'd get a ragin' hard on from touching her. Pogue, do not touch her unless you want a really awkward conversation with Kate."

Tyler looked flabbergasted at Reid's audacity.

"Sorry Reid, I thought what I told you this afternoon would have been enough," he responded, not revealing explicitly what they had done but it got the point across to the blonde. They had shared a look and Pogue got an uncomfortable feeling as his two friends shared an unspoken conversation. He felt like he was being excluded from something and he wasn't sure what.

"Yeah I kind of caught onto that Reid when fucking sparks flew between you two. What the hell guys?"

"The Book could have been more helpful but it is what it is. Reid could you cool it a bit and Pogue, stop looking at her like you're pissed off."

"What? I'm not looking at her weirdly."

"Yeah guy, you kind of are. We get that you're pissed at the situation but it's not her fault. So just get over it and be nice."

Pogue felt like he was being attacked on all sides and agreed just to get them to back off,

"Fine, whatever."

The girls came back with their trays filled and sat down but not before Hannah took out wet wipes and cleaned her chair and area where she'd eat.

"Wow, that was quick," Tyler commented.

"Well it's easy to pick when Hannah points out what everything is made of. She'd be a great diet buddy; did you know that jello is make from boiled animal bones?" Kate asked, wanting to showcase her new found knowledge.

"Specifically it's the collagen found in their bones and skin. I didn't mean to tell you as a deterrent, I'm sorry."

"It's no problem, I want to lose weight for poms. All this heavy cafeteria food is making me fat."

"Babe, you're not fat" Pogue told his girlfriend for what had to be the millionth time. He didn't understand why she always got so down on herself about her weight. He thought she was perfect but for whatever reason she could never see what he saw.

"Yes he's correct. From the prominence of your clavicle you might even be underweight but I would have to take your exact measurements to get a better gauge of your body mass index."

Kate took a minute to translate what Hannah had said into something she could understand. She heard underweight and that meant she wasn't fat. And if she wasn't fat then she was skinny. So she misunderstood Hannah's babbling as a compliment.

"Oh thank you Hannah. That's sweet of you to say."

Hannah frowned because she was certain what she said wasn't a compliment but she'd have to ask her friends later to explain it to her. She just smiled at Kate, hoping that she didn't accidentally do a major faux pas.

Tyler and Pogue got up to get their food but Reid decided he'd rather stay with the new girl and get to know her better.

"Hey Ty, why don't you pick something up for me? I want to stay and get to know Hannah more," he said with a charming smile that normally worked on females but on Tyler it just made him want to punch the blonde.

"Sure, Reid. What do you want?" Tyler stressed, hoping he would catch the irritated tone in his voice.

"Oh you know, whatever. So Hannah, tell us more about yourself," he focused solely on the witch as Tyler and Pogue walked away.

Hannah wasn't sure about the parameters of his command so she asked him to clarify,

"What do you mean? Is there something specific you want to know or should I begin to list various facts and trivia about myself in no particular order?"

"Ummm...let's start with where you're from."

"Alright. I'm from D.C. area, specifically I grew up in Fort Washington; but since most people never know where that is we just tell people D.C. It's a D.C. thing."

"Oh I know what you mean. I grew up in Ipswich and whenever I go out of town and tell them where I'm from, people draw a complete blank so I end up saying Boston. Then I get obnoxious questions about my lack of accent. Like, hello. Not everyone tawks like this," Kate said, adopting a Southie Botson accent.

"That's great Kate, anyway Hannah that's a beautiful name. It means 'Grace' in Hebrew. It must be for your small graceful hands. I bet you're good with delicate tasks," he said as he took one of her small hands into his own, lightly caressing her digits; noticing how incredibly soft they were.

Sarah was slightly blown away with how charming Reid was being. When she first met him there was an obvious pissing contest between him and Caleb with the dark haired teen the victor. Now she was wondering if he was just off his game that night if what she was witnessing and what she had heard about him was any indication.

"Yes, I actually am good at what some would describe at delicate tasks. I'm really into sewing and a lot of my experiments require a steady and stealthy hand," said replied as steady as she could, her mind began to get lost in a haze of lust as her body responded to his touch. It was the same tingling sensation she felt with Tyler and wondered if there was something in the water at the school.

"Oh you have on going experiments? What are they about?" Sarah asked, genuinely curious.

Hannah turned to the female blonde, halfway forgetting Reid and the ardent arousal he created in her as she had a chance to talk about her beloved research.

"I'm developing a disease resistant, high yield corn variety that would need only a third of the water current strains need. So far I've only manged to grow viable varieties that can proliferate with a third less water. My ultimate goal is to develop strains that can bear grains with two thirds less water and my current samples are very promising. With the new research greenhouses on campus, I have a lot more options and since no one else is currently studying plant pathology and genetics I have the whole structure to myself."

"Yes my family has always been supporters to the sciences. My mother was one of main benefactors in building the greenhouses."

"Oh you're Meredith and Joseph Garwin's son? I've been meaning to send a thank-you note to them for granting the funds to the project and basically giving me free reign. You have no idea how much their contributions have meant to my research."

"I'm sure we can arrange a dinner or something, I know my mother has been going on about the new facilities and the genius they put in there for research. I'm sure she'd love to meet you."

"That'd be fantastic."

"What would be fantastic?" Tyler asked as he came back with his food, Pogue not far behind.

"Reid said he could arrange a dinner with his family; they've been monumental in my research."

"Yes, she's growing super corn."

"Well that's not exactly what I'm doing..."

"Wow, that's great Reid. My mother is on the school board as well. I'm sure she'd love to meet the girl who's doing such a good job tutoring me in algebra."

Kate saw that the two friends were subtly fighting over the new girl and to keep the situation from becoming awkward, she changed the subject to something safe.

"So I'm so excited about Breaking Dawn pt. 2 coming out in November. It's such a bummer we have to wait so long."

"Yeah, I can't wait until they show Bella as a vampire. I bet she's super hot and graceful."

"Come on guys, I'm sure Hannah doesn't want to hear about sparkly vampires and their pedophilic tendencies," Reid whined, not wanting to have another dinner conversation revolve around Robert Pattinson.

"Actually I find Twilight quite fascinating," Hannah intervened, stating her own opinion.

"See Reid? So you think it's a timeless love story too?" Kate asked hoping to have found another "Twi-Hard" to add to her entourage.

"Well no, I do agree with Reid in his assessment of Edward's behavior and overall themes in the novel but I am fascinated with the vampire mythos she's created."

"Really? They sparkle and real vampires don't sparkle."

"Well vampires don't exist so Stephanie Meyer is allowed to write them as she pleases. And that's what intrigues me about her vampires. They're supposedly hard as marble and scintillate in the sun. I would love to study them and see what kind of biological process is going on that would allow for that. I'm also curious as to how Edward produces spermatozoon if his vascular system isn't functional. I have so many questions that I had hoped Meyer would answer in her novels, especially since I sent detailed inquiries but she never got around to it in four books. There's always hope if she writes more and answers those questions then, right?"

Hannah felt like maybe she had said the wrong thing as the table looked at her blankly.

"Well if you put it like that, yeah Twilight sounds like it could be interesting," Tyler said to bail Hannah out of the awkward silence. He could not care less about men who shimmered in daylight but he didn't want the witch to feel alienated in their group.

"So Hannah, how are you liking Spencer?" Tyler asked to ease the tension.

The witch easily changed subjects at the drop of the hat and gave her honest opinion on everything. They spent the next two hours talking about various subjects and while the group found her a little odd, she was very affable and lively.

A beep went off in the middle of her explaining the superior public transit system in D.C. and she said she needed to head back for her game party.

"I'll walk you to your dorm," Tyler ever the gentleman.

"Well our dorm is on the way, so I'll walk with you guys," Reid said as he butted in.

"Thanks, that's very nice of you guys."

The three walked away from the table and it gave the two girls a chance to gossip about what they thought of the new girl.

"So she's kind of strange but nice," Kate started off.

"Yeah but she's super smart. When you get to that level I think you have to be strange. But at least she's not an ass about it. Back in Boston, all the kids in the advanced classes thought they were better than everyone else. They always talked about how everyone would soon be working for them just because they weren't in advanced placement. I couldn't stand them and was so glad when I transferred."

"There is that. I mean I don't even know most of the kids in TaG here because they never want to meet anybody. They just stick to their own side of campus and it's like we're living on two different worlds. What do you think Pogue?"

The only male left at the table shrugged his shoulders and gave a non-committal answer,

"I don't know, I don't think anything of her."

"Other than she smells incredible and I wanted to run my hands up those long legs and explore beneath that short skirt."

Kate rolled her eyes and dismissed his statement, she should have known better than to ask a boy.

"So let me ask this, where the hell did smooth operator Reid come from? I mean he was laying the charm on thick," Sarah asked jokingly.

"Yeah that was kind of weird. Hannah isn't the type he usually goes for and he's always been charming. He's a major player and always has been," Kate explained.

"Where was that when he first met me? Hannah gets a 'oh your name means grace and you have gorgeous hair' while I get 'my grandmother's name is Sarah.' I mean what the hell?"

Kate laughed at her friends recollection of events and gave her hypothesis.

"I think Reid was really high that night. You're right, he totally bombed that night and that's pretty unusual for him. Do you know what happened Pogue?"

Pogue thought for a moment and he couldn't remember if Reid had smoked anything or told him he'd be getting high but he wouldn't be surprised.

"I don't remember seeing him light up or anything but I do remember him coming late to me us," he was referring to him and the other Sons. "and he said he had been doing something so that might have been him smoking up."

"That explains a lot."

"So did anyone else notice how both Reid and Tyler were all over her or was that just me?" Kate asked, wanting to get to the juicy parts.

"No they definitely both have a thing for her. I'm kind of surprised because Tyler and Reid never compete over a girl. So this could get interesting."

"I think Reid should bow out though because I felt like Tyler actual liked Hannah while Reid's just trying to lay the new girl."

"I don't know, he was asking her questions; like legit questions to get to know her. He never asked me any of those and I don't think I've ever seen him in the four months I've been here."

"That's true...what do you think Pogue?"

"What? Guys do not talk about this kind of stuff with other guys. If they both like her then she'll just have to choose between them."

"Ugh, boys just don't understand how to communicate," Kate said to dismiss what her boyfriend just said. The two girls continued on about the possible love triangle blooming while Pogue felt like he was in his own personal hell; having to listen to his girlfriend talk nonstop about a girl he couldn't stop thinking about.

The three teens walked the deserted halls of the dormitory, the students still milling about elsewhere as curfew wasn't for another two hours. They stopped at the boy's dorm, Tyler swiftly getting rid of Reid.

"Here you go Reid, I'll take Hannah from here."

The blonde smiled, knowing his roommate was trying to ditch him and he surrendered this battle knowing he'd have the witch sooner or later.

"Alright, night Hannah. Hope your tournament goes well and you get the little Swedish bastard."

"Thanks!" she replied excited that they didn't seem to think less of her because of her commitment to the first person shooter game.

Reid opened the door to their dorm and Hannah got a quick look inside. The sight of their room with their bed burned into her mind and she knew she wouldn't be able to think much of anything else. A need grew inside her that gnawed away at her, demanding that she do something.

She ignored the need as Tyler walked her to her own suite, making small talk along the way. They eventually made it to her room and she wasn't sure how to end such a lovely night.

"Well it was really nice to meet your friends. They were all very cordial and I hope I didn't talk too much."

"No, I think you talked just enough. You're really sweet and nice; so don't worry about talking too much. I like to hear you talk."

Hearing him say that pleased Hannah and she blushed for what seemed like the hundredth time that night. Both Tyler and Reid were very magnetic and charismatic; she felt like they both liked her but she wasn't experienced enough in social situations to be able to tell for sure.

Tyler couldn't help but think that Hannah looked utterly enthralling as she smiled and her cheeks turned a lovely shade of pink. His mind couldn't help but wonder if her whole body would turn such a beautiful color as he ravished her in his bed.

He couldn't resist touching her again, aching for the torturous sensation than ran through him; lighting every sense on fire. He reached for her chin and gentle guided her to look at him and he leaned down to kiss her, no longer able to wait another moment to touch her soft lips with his.

The kiss was literally magical as his power rejoiced in her touch, crackling around them although both teens were too lost in each other to notice. The same delicious jolt ran through her, curling her toes as she had never experienced anything like it before. He wrapped his strong arms around her, completely enveloping her in his strength and she relaxed into him as it was the most natural thing to her. She felt like she belonged right there in his arms and she couldn't imagine being anywhere else.

After a few moments, they ended what she would describe as the perfect kiss (despite never had done so before but she couldn't imagine it being any better) and opened her eyes, hoping to see his beautiful blue ones staring back at her.

But instead of blue eyes, all she saw was pitch black ones. Fathomless ebony encased his eyes, no white to be seen anywhere.

When Tyler opened his eyes to look at her, he saw that their magic had reacted powerfully enough to change her eyes and assumed his had as well. He was about to try to explain what was going on but she beat him to it.

"Well I had an absolutely great time and I hope we can do this again. You have my number, so feel free to call me if you want to have dinner again. I don't mean to rush but I really must be going. Bye!"

She said quickly and without taking a single breath as she hurried into her dorm and shut the door.

Tyler was left speechless as it seemed she didn't see his black eyes but after grabbing his phone and looking at his reflection on the mirrored surface he saw he did indeed have completely blacked out eyes. He wondered how she could act as if she hadn't and didn't wait in front of her door like a stalker to find out.

"She's a genius, she probably rationalized to herself that it was trick of the light or something."

He made his way back to his dorm, the same desperation he felt earlier that afternoon had come back with a vengeance after finally having a small taste of the witch. He was just glad the halls were vacant and there was no one to see his ungodly eyes.

Reid had been waiting for them and both warlocks locked onto each other quickly, both having an ache that needed soothing. They hadn't bothered taking off their clothes as they badly needed contact.

Tyler was feeling rather aggressive that evening and he worked his way between Reid's legs and pushed him to his back. Between needy kisses Tyler made his claim known,

"You will back off, Reid. She's mine first," he growled.

Seeing Tyler take charge just aroused Reid further, gyrating and kissing harder onto the brunette. Not willing to fight his best friend over the witch and submitting to his claim.

Tyler wasn't done asserting his dominance and started to kiss down Reid's neck, pausing at the base and biting hard onto the blonde's shoulder. Not only was he claiming the witch but he was claiming his warlock.

The pain went perfectly with the pleasure and knowing that Tyler had made such a mark on him initiated his release.

Feeling Reid shutter beneath him drove Tyler over the edge as he came on top of him. He gripped the blonde's side so tightly he was sure he was leaving more marks than just his lovebite and that made him smile a self-satisfied grin.

Both men were breathing heavily and unwilling to move. Their magic had been so agitated that both sported onyx eyes and felt the air shimmer with power around them.

"We need to move on the witch. The whole courting her and taking our time isn't going to work," Reid said between pants. Not only did he plea to take things faster with Hannah for Tyler's sake but for his own. He would keep his word and let Tyler make the first move but if the witch showed signs of preferring him, he didn't think he could resist her wishes.

Tyler nodded his agreement, unable to speak with the power and orgasm still running through him. He merely moved himself off to the side of Reid and spooned him; not wanting to break contact but exhausted from the events.

Both teens feel into the deepest sleep they had gotten in a long time, both content to be in each other's arms.
