Ugh! Cole stopped in front of the school. When he said I would die of embarrassment he meant it. He put it in park. "Casey will take you home. He and Paul will be around if you need them. Remember avoid the three boys if possible." I thought he was done and started to walk away. "Bill said to remind you there was a blond you were to avoid." His eyes flashed amber. Bill must have told him I thought he was hot. Damn wolves and their noses.
"Really. You guys are paranoid. I'm just here to do my time." I turned around again to leave and he grabbed my hand.
"Are you sure your ready to start. I can take you home." No but I need to get away from you. With everyone working we have had the house to ourselves a lot and he was making a move every chance he got. Not that I didn't find him to be attractive but he was possessive.
I sighed. "It's just first day jitters. Better to get it over with. Besides Bill would flip if I skipped."
"We can always find a reason." He winked.
I removed his hand and left to try and find my first class because I didn't have to stop at the office anymore. Bill had picked up my schedule and books. Lord forbid I be late to a class. It really wasn't a bad schedule. My worst two classes were in the morning. I was not pleased to see that he has my sport as swimming. Gotta change that. No one sees me in a swimsuit. Okay no one but the wolves and that's even rare.
I struggled threw the first four classes because everyone kept staring. I hated to be the center of attention. Not that my mouth couldn't put me there on it's own. I have an issue with bullies. My fourth class had this brunette in it and she thought the world revolved around her.
I was so glad when the bell rang because I was hungry. I stopped at my locker and had to make a quick retreat because I saw Tyler talking to one of the teachers. I hated pretending I didn't want to make friends. Rumors were already starting that I was a delinquent. I grabbed some food and stood near the pop machines trying to decide where to sit. I finally saw a table by the windows that was empty.
I was almost there when I heard a cackle. I turned to see the brunette from class talking to a blond. "Kira go away." The blond didn't seem happy.
"Come now Sarah. Did Caleb finally come to his senses and dump you? White trash shouldn't be allowed in here or to date one of the Sons." She was smiling from ear to ear. She was enjoying herself.
Before I knew it I was walking towards them. I walked right between them and sat down next to the blond. She squealed because she wasn't expecting me to sit. "Do you mind we were talking!"
"Yes I mind and you were insulting not talking." I opened my pop and took a sip.
"Your the new girl from chemistry. What's your name?" She paused. "That's right white trash." If she was going to insult people she needed a better vocabulary.
"You can call me what ever you want as long as you leave." I took a bite of my sandwich. "Could you pass me the salt please." I smiled at the blond she had called Sarah.
"Hey babe."
I glanced up to see a guy put his arm around her shoulder. Her smile got bigger. Sarah groaned when she saw him. The guy was good looking but a prick. I had to sit by him in history and he tried to pull my skirt up. "Should have known the two of you dated." I laughed.
A hand grabbed the other half of my sandwich. "You really should find better friends or you could ruin your reputation." He took another bite of my sandwich. I growled and Sarah flinched.
"Aaron dear she insulted me. I don't like her."
I laughed almost choking on my bite. "Do you think it's funny?" He had moved closer and I could feel his leg behind me.
"I never find it funny when someone bullies someone. So why don't you take your mate and run along."
He grabbed my arm and pulled me up. I felt one of the stitches pop. He was inches from my face. I spoke threw clinched teeth. "Let go of me."
"Why I think you like it." He rubbed against me. Ohh! Like he even had a chance. Yuk!
"Look I let it go when you took my sandwich. I can forgive you for the lack of tact but don't touch me or my friend here." I looked at Sarah.
"What are you going to do if I don't. Her pimps aren't here to save her or you." What was it with the implication of being a whore? Do they not teach people manners here?
"Reid!" I heard Sarah yell. Well I was doing a great job of avoiding them, I knew it wouldn't last.
"One more time let go." His grip tightened and he grabbed my ass with his other hand. That's it. He was suddenly whimpering as I laughed. "Really. You think this." I tightened my grip on his manhood. "This isn't big enough to please a ant. Now I suggest you leave us alone or I can twist off what manhood you do have." I twisted to the right just a little as I tightened my grip. His face was turning red as he fought to remove my hand.
"Haven't you learned not to pick on people bigger than you? I suggest you do as the lady asked." I turned to see Reid and Tyler standing on the other side of the table.
I looked back to Aaron as I squeezed tighter. "Answer?"
He pushed at my arm. "I'll go."
"Smart decision." I let go but pushed as I did. I didn't wait for him to be gone before I sat down. "Can you hand me the ketchup?" Sarah just looked at me like I grew a second head. Caleb sat down next to her and kissed her cheek. Oh great this day just gets better and better.
"Hey Crash." Reid sat across from me and Tyler next to him.
"You look pretty good considering you almost died." Tyler was beating around the bush.
"Quick healer. Plus the knife wasn't as big as it looked." I looked down at my food as I said that. Reid had seen the knife. Boy was I glad they weren't my usual friends. They would have smelt the lie a mile away.
"Looked pretty big to me." Reid took a bite of his sandwich. Why do I even try?
A guy with shoulder length brown hair sat next to Tyler. "Why's Aaron holding ice on his nuts?" He was amused.
"Crash here tried to rip them off." He had a large smile on his face. I got the impression Reid and Aaron really didn't get along. "Pogue meet Crash."
"Genevieve."
"Your the one they helped?" I nodded. Another Greek God. Did this place have a factory some where because if so I need to find it.
"Not to be nosy but what were you doing out there?" Caleb wasted no time to find out the answers I wouldn't give him before.
"We bought a house a few miles down the road." They gave me a funny look. "I found a old tombstone that said Proctor on it."
"You live down the street from me." Caleb was leaning around Sarah now. How am I suppose to avoid them if they live down the street? "Which reminds me do you need a ride or will your bike be done?" He was looking at Pogue. I could spend all day looking at Pogue. His hazel eyes were captivating. Did he say bike?
"You ride?" I knew my smile was bigger than it should be.
"Does he?" Reid was laughing. "I think he prefers his bike over women." Pogue flipped him off.
"So what do you have?" I really didn't care I just wanted to hear his voice again. Besides he looked like a crotch rocket kind of guy.
"Ducati." He smiles and you could see the love in his eyes. "Have you ever rode?"
"Ya but never a Ducati." I know I was dissing his bike but they sucked.
"Don't diss it til you have. The speed is addictive." His eyes glazed over with the memory.
I looked at my watch and if I left now I had just enough time to change my bandage before my next class. I stood up and grabbed my tray. "Sorry I prefer more vibrate than speed between my legs." He looked like I slapped him. "I'll see you around."
- Reid -
"I think things are going get interesting with her around." She had more fire in her than half the girls here combined.
"Reid you hit on all the girls so naturally you'd be excited." Hey I didn't hit on you more than once. Count your self lucky. I gave Sarah my eat your heart out smile.
"How did she end up at our table?" Caleb was in leader mode. Ugh!
"Kira was harassing me and the next thing I know she was just there. She didn't look like she wanted to be though. I'm glad she was. Kira was in a worse mood than normal. She didn't seem happy I yelled for you."
"Remind you of a certain party?" Pogue took a bite of his sandwich but he looked ill.
"Ya." We all said it in unison.
"I for one was happy to hear a girl talk about things between her legs. She didn't even look like it bothered her. My kind of gal." They shook their heads at me. But I know they agreed. All the girls around here are either offended or bashful when it came to our magic machines.
"I don't like her. You can never trust a girl who doesn't like a Ducati. Just unnatural." That was music to my ears. One of us was going to get close to her and Tyler was to chicken shit and Caleb has Sarah. That left the two of us and I saw the way she looked at him. If he asked her to she would have sucked his dick right here. Now the honor of being sucked will be all mine.
I was glad I gave myself this much time because I had to get another uniform because it had bled threw. Casey was in the office when I went in and he tried to convince me to go home. I refused and told him about Aaron. He just shook his head. The nurse gave me a slip to get out of swimming. Thank you Gaia. I tried to drop it and take something else but they said I couldn't until after Christmas break.
My side was really starting to hurt by the time I hit my last class. It was my favorite. I loved books and learning new things about places that could exist. The teacher introduced me and said I could find a seat anywhere. Sarah was waving at me pointing to the empty chair next to her. I obliged because there weren't many seats empty and I was pretty sure by the look Pogue gave me I wasn't welcome.
"Hey." She was too perky. I couldn't help but laugh.
"So how offended was Pogue? He just gave me the look of death."
"Don't worry about it. I think Reid is right about preferring his bike over women." We both laughed.
She filled me in on what we were studying and said the unit would be done Thursday and if I needed help catching up she would be happy to help. It was Hemingway so I was good. Every so often I caught Pogue looking at me. Okay maybe I was a bit rude. I refuse to apologize though. I only stated my opinion. Maybe if he asked if I owned one it would have gone differently.
"So where you from?"
"Here and there. My dad moves me around a lot." I couldn't look at her because I hated lying. I liked her. Plus I had only been in the one place so I really couldn't give more detail.
"Did you have a boyfriend?"
I laughed. "No I don't date."
"Your joking?" She didn't believe me.
"Nope my Dad doesn't allow it until I'm eighteen."
"That's just wrong. He can't stop you though. It's your right as a modern teenager to date."
"Tell that to the warden. He and his minions make sure I behave. Some days I just want to run threw the streets naked screaming profanity."
She laughed. "Just make sure Reid is nowhere around if you do. He is such a perv."
"So do you think he would have been less offended if he knew I ride a fat boy?" I glanced in his direction. Reid had claimed the empty seat next to him.
"Forget it he will get over it." The door opened and Caleb walked in. She lit up like a candle. He noticed I was sitting next to her and headed for a empty seat in front of Pogue and Reid.
"Did I take his seat?"
"No he trades between me and them so it's okay. Plus a girl can only handle so much testosterone."
"You have no idea. There are only two of us in a house of ten. Sometimes I just want to watch a chick flick and not have a guy tell me my movie sucks."
"I made the guys watch the Notebook as punishment once. They shut their mouths."
"My guys are a bit more brain dead than yours. If it doesn't have sex and violence they don't care." But I tended to agree with them more than not.
"Are you done after this or do you have a sport?"
"Unfortunately I have swimming. Not that I can participate. Aaron ripped one of my stitches out." She cringed. "I just want pain killers and my bed." She was smiling. "What's so funny."
"How about I join you for practice. Your benched and I usually watch Caleb anyway."
"He swims?" She nodded her head. Well shit. How do I avoid the guys if see them half the day. Now that I sit here and have had time to look at Pogue I realize he's in my History class. This is gunna be harder than I thought.
"Cheer up. Just think of it this way. You can stare at almost naked men and your Dad can't do anything about it. Let the rebellion begin." The bell rang and we agreed to meet at her locker and walk together. She stopped when we got to Caleb and hugged him. "I'll see you in a few."
I waved and walked out. I was pulled by my arm as soon as I exited the room. I knew it was Cole so I didn't fight. He stopped when he was halfway down the hall. "What is this I hear you were man handled?" Let the possessiveness begin.
"Not as much as him. I took care of it. I don't need you and the guys to jump in every time." I wasn't going to tell him that Aaron left a huge bruise on my arm.
"You know why we do."
"I'm not a kid anymore. I can't do this I have practice." I started to walk away.
"Casey said he pop your stitches." I stopped moving. He was behind me now and I had to control my breathing. He always made me want to jump him. "No one touches you like that. He will regret it."
I turned. "And that's the problem. You turn to violence. Can't you just let me handle things here on my own. If I need you I'll tell you."
"Your track record lately sucks. Meet Casey right after practice."
"As you wish." I let all my anger seep threw as I walked away.
The coach said he didn't want me to injure myself so I was to sit out until I was released. Everyone was changing so I took advantage of the empty pool. I needed to calm down and out of all the elements it was the quickest fix. I let my fingers play in the water. I called on my power and the water moved up my hand. I released my power as soon as I heard voices. I walked over to the towels to wipe off my hand. I turned around to join Sarah and someone bumped me hitting the only bruises I have left.
It hurt so bad I started to fall forward but slammed into something. I felt hands grip my waist and one pressed against my stitches. My hands shot up and tried to grip onto something because of the pain. Only all they found was bare skin. I felt tears start to form. I looked up and found hazel eyes staring down at me. I pulled my hands away from his chest and took a step back. I was about to say something but his voice stopped me. "Your bleeding." He was looking at his hand like he was going to catch something from it.
"Sorry." I grabbed a towel and handed it to him. "Don't worry I'm clean." I walked towards the locker room. I was feeling so many things right now. God did I want to run my hands further up his chest. Yet he pissed me off acting like I carried some disease. I had taken my shirt off and was just taking the bandage off when I heard the door open.
