Please review, or i'm not

Thanks to those who did, love you guys!!
I think Sasha was relativley annoyed of me by the time Monday came around. I was so fascinated with the Sons of Ipswich and that whole story that I wouldn't stop questioning her about it. But come on, really, if you tell me about four guys who are descendants of witches do you really expect me to keep quiet about it? No. For one, magic and all of that stuff interests me greatly but secondly, that was probably the most interesting piece of information i've gathered since i've been here.
So when I walked into my first class and caught a glimpse of the one with the dark hair, I found it a tiny bit amusing. How much of a coincidence is it that my first class would hold one of them? I think his name was Tyler, if I remember correctly. Everybody looked at me as I entered and handed my slip to the teacher. I looked up, trying to see where I would sit and saw the kid beside Tyler raise his head slowly. That's when I think I actually laughed out loud and made the teacher think that I was chronically insane. One of them being in my class was amusing, but two, that was just all around hilarious. Things were definatly going to be entertaining here.
"Okay, Bailey," The teacher said while he scanned over my transfer scripts, "You can sit next to Miss Janders, right there," he pointed to a spot directly behind Reid's head.
I smiled and nodded, before taking my scripts and my books and trudging up the stairs. I glanced down at Reid and Tyler, who seemed bored as hell, then continued on my way. Miss. Janders name was Penelope, she was a straight A student with a one hundered percent average. Okay, if you haven't gathered this fact, that was another over-exxageration on my part. Penelope was stuck up though, if I asked her what was going on she just stuck her little nose up in the air and told me to pay attention. She wasn't going to be my favourite person in Spencer, in fact I pretty much hated the girl by the middle of the period.
I finally needed assistance again, having no idea what the teacher had just said, so I leaned over- just to piss her off, "Hey, Penny, do you mind helping me with this?"
Penelope's head snapped towards me so fast, I swear she could've gotten whiplash, "It's Penelope," she said slyly, narrowing her eyes at me.
I went to reply, but the blonde infront of me turned around.
"C'mon Penny, baby, don't give the new girl a hard time," Reid said, flashing his baby blue eyes at her.
Penelope scoffed and continued to write stuff down on paper. I'm assuming that she didn't get a long with anyone, especially Reid, by the look on her face she'd rather get hit by a car then have a conversation with him. So with a satisfied smirk, he turned to me and gestured towards the raven-haired prude who sat beside me.
"She's kind of a bitch," he said, with a shrug, "I'm Reid, Reid Garwin."
He held out his hand and I shook it, getting nervous that he was even talking to me. I gave him a soft smile and he smirked at me. That's when the other boy turned around and hit him roughly, making him turn in his seat just in time for the teacher to ask him to read something out loud. I then listened to him talk, glancing at Penny, who looked more outraged then ever. I guess even she didn't like being called a bitch. When Reid finished, he placed his head on his desk and i'm pretty sure that in ten minutes he was sound asleep. Tyler didn't seem to mind, he just followed a long while Reid inhaled and exhaled heavily beside him.
I sighed and arched back in my chair, stretching my body. I accidently bumped my head on the desk behind me, causing Penelope to snicker. Usually, I can control myself around girls like Penelope. Today, though, I had already had enough of her. So with a giant smirk on my face, I stretched my arms outwards and hit her in the head in the process. The best part though, was that her head went forwards and smacked her head on the desk. I immediatly burst into laughter, loud laughter, causing nearly everybody in the class to turn around and look at me. Penelope's face was as red as a tomato, so it was obvious what I was laughing at.
Tyler and Reid both turned around, I guess sleeping beauty woke up with the sound of my laugh. Tyler chucked at my outburst and shook his head, while I clutched my stomache and tried to stop. Then, out of nowhere, I was able to stop and control myself. I sat there, catching my breath as all eyes slowly turned back to the teacher who was not happy with me. I was sure he was going to yell at me, so I tried to be mature and not giggle, but instead he just shook his head and turned back to the blackboard. I let out a sigh and chuckled again, surprised at how well I had done. I'm not normally that rude, but c'mon, if you met Penelope you'd probably have gave her the old one two by now.
Class ended a few minutes after that. I still found it remotley hilarious on the way out. I grabbed all of my stuff and began to walk down the stairs, but you know what? Karma's a bitch. I tripped over my own footing and flew face first into the person infront of me, who didn't fall over but he fumbled a bit. Luckily for me, Caleb Danver's is quick. He caught me before my face collided with the floor. With the blush still in my cheeks, I looked up to see him smiling down at me, the other son of Ipswitch beside him. Well, i'd say that this was hysterical, the fact that all of them were in my class but it just wasn't at this point. I was kind of humiliated actually. Imagine falling to your near death, but you were saved by Caleb Danvers, it's kind of a red-faced moment. He had me back on my feet in seconds, so I quickly gripped my back to distract myself.
"Sorry," I murmered, looking at my feet.
Tyler, who had stopped in the process of being knocked over, turned to me, "Don't worry about it," he said with a sincere smile.
I tried to smile, but I was just too embarrassed to, "I wasn't watching where I was going," I excused myself, with a quick glance up to Caleb and Pogue.
Pogue shrugged and punched Tyler in the arm, "Tyler's a big boy, he can handle it," he gave his friend a wink, while Tyler rubbed his now sore arm and glanced to Reid.
"I'm Caleb," Caleb said, holding out his hand, "Caleb Danvers."
I smiled at him. He obviously wanted to save me from self- hatred. I was really surprised at how polite he was, I would've been kind of annoyed in some chick almost sent my friend tumbling down a very steep flight of stairs. He didn't seemed at all bothered, which was a very good gesture. I was about to introduce myself, but the long haired one, Pogue, spoke first.
"Pogue Perry."
I smiled and offered my name, "I'm Bailey Hampherd."
They all nodded and it got very silent after that. Caleb's eyes seemed to be locked on Reid, who was leaning against Tyler with that smirk that I witnessed last night during the party. Pogue didn't look as concerned as Caleb, but he was looking at Reid with a certain stare. I decided that I should Excuse myself at that point, since things seemed tense and awkward.
"I-I'll see you guys around," I said turned and sneaking between Reid and the desk, "Bye," I whispered softly.
"See you," Caleb said, his eyes still on Reid's face.
Reid stared right back, not even glancing at me, "Yeah, we'll see you around," his tone was sharp and daring.
I nodded, they were clearly very strange kids. With a still humiliated head shake, I walked down the rest of the steps, waiting for somebody to speak. None of them did. I walked out of the room and sighed, feeling my face it was still hot. I was probably still very red. Sasha was waiting for me outside my classroom.
"Hey!" She said loudly, reaching forwards and touching my arm, "How was your first day, what took you so long?"
I shut my eyes and let out a groan, "I just humiliated myself."
Sasha leaned against the wall, "How?"
I sighed, finally opening my eyes to look at her again, "The 'sons of ipswich', yeah they're in my class and I just fell down the stairs infront of them. They were nice about it- thank god, but it's just so.. so.. ugh!"
Sasha smiled widely. I hadn't seen her look at me like that before, but she was highly amused. She burst out laughing. The kind of laughter that made you clutch your stomache and arch forwards. I gave her a death glare, momentarily wanting to kill her, until she looked up at me and stopped.
"It's just funny," she told me, "Because I totally expected something like that to happen."
I scoffed and turned around, swinging my bag over my shoulder. Unfortunatly, Sasha and I had the next class together, which meant I would have to put up with her mocking me the entire period. She was hot on my heels, following me and apologizing like a mad man. Honestly, I wasn't angry, I was just annoyed with myself. Why did I have to be a klutz? Falling down the stairs... that actually happened a lot with me. I don't know why. I don't know who the hell passed down the embarrassment-gene in my family but whoever they are- i'll thank them for that later.
I walked into my English class, not many people were there yet, but a few sitting at the front looked me over. Some guys gave me dirty looks. I obviously wasn't attractive in their books, but what can you do? I handed my transfer scripts to the teacher- who was a lady and she looked very stern and mean but I wasn't going to judge.
Sasha was at my side, leaning on her desk, "Miss Morgin can Bailey sit next to me?"
Miss Morgin and her firey red hair peered up from my transfers to Sasha's pleading face from beneath her black spectacles, "You know very well that I do not accept talking during my lectures."
Sasha nodded, "Yes, I know."
Miss Morgin took her glasses off of her nose and placed them on her desk, "Okay, Bailey, you're next to Sasha," she reached over and handed me my forms and then began to read her paperwork, probably her lesson book for the day.
Sasha led me up to the back row. I was quite content. I assumed Sasha would be one of those students who liked the front row, the one where they'd be able to take notes the easiest without having to ask a partner. But surprisingly, she enjoyed sitting the furthest away from the front- where was exactly where I liked to be.
"So the only Ipswich boy in this class is Caleb," she told me, in a quiet whisper, "And he sits with Kate."
I nodded, looking down to the middle row where I saw Caleb and Kate talking quietly between themselves.
I sighed and leaned back, prepared for a boring class once again. I understood that school wasn't always that great of an experience, but being new, I wanted to do so much and meet new people, I just couldn't contain myself. Sasha, however, looked at me with a sly smirk- like she could read my mind.
"Hey, I have an idea."
I looked up at her, hoping that it was a good one, "After school, around eight, we'll go to Nicky's."
I frowned, "Who's Nicky? Another one of your peachy, psycho friends?"
Sasha shook her head, "I'll grab Emma and Sheree and we'll go down there."
I was getting fed up, "What is Nicky's?"
She grinned, "The hang out place... you'll love it."
