Angel Among Us

A Covenant fanfic

Chapter 3: Heaven on Earth

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Angel sat with Eddie and Chelsea at a table in the cafeteria and they started tending to their food.

"So glad we have lunch together and some classes together." Chelsea stated.

They looked over each other's classes on their schedules a couple minutes ago again to see if they had any of the remaining classes together. And they do have their next class together, which was English, and they have their 5th hour together, which was foreign language.

"Yeah, me too. It's so nerve racking being in a new area with no one you know around you. Makes me feel more comfortable when I'm with you guys." Eddie stated.

"Same here." Angel agreed with a smile.

"Same here too." Chelsea agreed also with a fond smile.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

On the opposite side of the cafeteria sat the sons along with Kate and Sarah – Caleb and Pogue's girlfriends – at a table with their food.

"Have you guys been hearing about one of the new kids today?" Caleb asked his group of friends as he opened his bottled beverage.

"You mean that freshmen from Westwood that's had everyone drooling over how amazing he is? Yep." Tyler said sounding like he's heard about him many times.

"Ah, yeah, the girls won't stop gushing over him." Pogue stated.

"Yeah, he is becoming the lead talk of the school, isn't he. No surprise there. I have first hour history with him and from what I witnessed, he is quite the looker…more so than most guys in the school, even. He's knowledgeable, too, and that's not that common here either; for a guy to be really attractive and smart? There's quite a few girls here that are like that, but it's less so in boys here. His name is even impressive." Sarah conveyed.

Reid was paying close attention to this info, hoping the boy they were talking about was the boy he saw in the cafeteria.

Kate hummed in surprise. "So would you say this guy has out ranked our Sons of Ipswich?" Kate didn't believe so herself, but she wanted to see if someone that's actually been around this new kid would determine so.

Caleb almost choked on his burger at Kate's question and looked between Kate and Sarah. Caleb didn't care about how popular people of the school deemed him to be, but even so, he was really interested in what the answer would be. The rest of the sons were interested on Sarah's answer as well.

Sarah looked at all of them watching her and got a bit nervous that all her friends' eyes were very focused on her, but she tried to not focus on that and thought back on all her assessments she made so far of the boy she met in her first hour class.

"Well, overall…..no. I would say telling by his looks, smarts, and self-respect so far that I've seen that he's….at their rank." Sarah contemplated.

"At their rank…as in only in looks, smarts, and self-respect?" Kate asked. The sons looked from Kate back to Sarah again, awaiting her answer.

"Yes, as in he is at their rank in those alone, but on everything total, I don't know for sure since I don't know much about him yet, so it's hard to be accurate at this point in that, but for now he doesn't rank above them overall." Sarah reasoned.

"Whew, that's a relief! No one should steal our title," Reid puffed out his chest and smirked in triumph.

Kate looked at Reid in surprise and laughed. "Wow, Reid." Kate said.

Reid looked over to her and pouted playfully. "What? It's fun being popular, it makes it easier to get what you want."

Tyler drew his bottom lip in his mouth out of nervous habit. "Yeah, that is true, it is fun."

Reid smiled and high fived Tyler while Pogue and Caleb rolled their eyes and Sarah and Kate just looking amused.

"Ha! My man!" Reid said happily as he high fived his best friend.

Pogue sighed. "Where did we go wrong?" Pogue asked Caleb playfully, who was beside him.

"No idea." Caleb said playfully back as he looked at the two youngest.

When Reid looked out over the sea of students eating their lunch at the tables, he happened to spot that boy again that caught his eyes when they were in line. Reid immediately stuffed the last bit of his peanut butter and jelly sandwich in his mouth and finished the last of his chips off – which only had a few chips left at the bottom of the bag – and finished his drink – all very quickly – before shooting up from his seat.

"Well, gotta go! It's been fun, but…" Reid turned his eyes back over to the boy across the cafeteria.

"…Got somethin' to attend to." Reid continued, then walked off.

Caleb, Pogue, Tyler, Kate, and Sarah were left speechless when Reid just suddenly ate in a hurry and practically dashed off.

Tyler narrowed his eyes in the direction Reid left in. " 'Life's too short to be rushin' around', huh?" Tyler quoted in suspicion, remembering Reid said that when they were in line getting their lunch. Caleb and Pogue looked at Tyler expectantly, thinking Tyler would know what was up with Reid since he's the closest to him.

"You know what that was about?" Caleb asked in confusion.

"Or what he is so called, 'attending to'?" Pogue also asked in just as

much confusion.

Tyler shook his head and sighed. "No idea. Knowing him….probably something that'll get him in trouble."

Caleb and Pogue nodded in agreement and went back to eating their lunch and chattin'.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

On the other side of the cafeteria with Angel and his two best friends, they were chatting about their experience at the new school, already done with their lunch.

"-hat a starch pellet, sodium sulfite, and sodium iodate would turn purple in a blink of an eye when they meet? You literally would miss it change if you blinked once!" Eddie mused enthusiastically.

"Yeah, if I was drinking something in that moment, I would've spit it out." Angel said with an amused smile from the picture he put in his head of himself.

Right then Angel felt a tap on his shoulder. Angel looked behind himself and noticed a blonde boy standing there with this charming smile on his face. The guy was so pleasing to the eye, it made Angel blush slightly.

Reid's smile widened a bit when he noticed the beauty he was after was blushing within the three seconds he noticed him there. Reid acknowledged the two that accompanied the beauty once, but not being able to contribute much to them after that since the brunette was so alluring.

"Hi, I'm Reid Garwin. Just happened to notice you over here and I couldn't help but think how interesting you seem. Mind enlightening me?" He said charmingly, hinting that he wanted the two of them to leave the cafeteria.

Angel's blush grew a bit and he looked up at the attractive blonde, and then at his friends unsurely. His friends were discreetly gesturing for him to go with the guy since they could see the chemistry blooming between them already. That decided it for Angel, so he got up from his seat, picked up his bag and looped it back across his chest on his shoulder, and followed the blonde out of the cafeteria. They began walking down the halls which were empty.

"You smell incredible, you know that? Matches your looks." Reid mentioned.

Angel blushed again in a smile. "Thanks."

Reid gave another charming smile at the boy's reaction. "So…why haven't I seen your face around before?"

"I just moved here." Angel said as he looked from Reid's striking smile to the hallway décor on the walls and cases of shelves as they passed, afraid of what he might do if he looked too long at that gorgeous face smiling so flirtatiously at him.

Reid looked pleasantly surprised by that. "Ah, interesting. Where from?"

"Westwood, just a bit southwest from here."

Reid hummed in confirmation and thought back to what his friends said about a gorgeous new kid from Westwood.

'Gotta be him for sure then.' Reid thought before speaking again.

"What brought you to Ipswich?"

"Change in business location. My parents are fashion gurus and their expertise was needed at the location here full-time."

Reid looked surprised again. "Whoa, haven't heard of that one before. Fashion gurus….that explains how you're so….." Reid's eyes scanned Angel up and down once again, his eyes turning a few shades darker.

"Impressively dressed." Reid finished in a sultry tone. He was going to say extra screwable, but he thought against that since it might scare him away. He definitely didn't want that to happen…not with the kid causing such joy within him he never felt before with anyone, not even with his best friend Tyler.

Angel smiled, feeling flattered. "Yeah, thanks."

When they were about to pass the bathrooms, Reid grabbed Angel's hand to halt him. Angel looked back at him and blushed at the contact.

"Hold up…we can use this…it being more private and everything. Wanna go in?" Reid asked him.

Angel felt his heart beat faster at the thought of being completely alone with this attractive guy. Angel nodded, agreeing silently. Reid grinned happily at him and led him by the hand inside the boys' bathroom. Once inside, Reid let go of Angel's hand and turned back towards him.

"Ya know….I haven't gotten your name yet." Said Reid as he admired the details of Angel's facial region now that they were closer in proximity and able to fully focus on each other.

"Oh, yeah…right, sorry. Angel Diamond." Said Angel as he walked over to one of the walls of the bathroom and leaned his back against it.

Reid blinked in surprise and stared at Angel for a moment. A smirk grew on his face.

"Nuh-uh, you're just playin' with me."

Angel smiled in amusement. "Actually, I'm not."

Reid's smirk dulled a moment, then went back to full. "No way…"

Angel chuckled, enjoying how playful this guy was. "Way!"

Reid walked over to Angel to where he was right in front of him and propped one of his hands near Angel's head casually.

"So your name is really Angel?" Reid said, continuing to smirk.

"Yes." Angel said in a smile.

"Angel Diamond?" Reid asked again for confirmation.

Angel's eyes sparkled in mirth. "Yes! If you talk to my parents, they'll say it is also."

Reid playfully stared at him through his smirk, acting like he was still uncertain until Angel shouted loudly in playful exasperation.

"Reid!" He shouted through a giggle.

Reid laughed. "Okay, okay!" Reid thought more deeply on the subject.

"Man…..Angel Diamond…...God, does anything about you not exude absolute gorgeousness, or what,"

Angel blushed intensely and looked down, deciding to play with the strap of his bag laying across his chest to calm himself.

"So if your name is as gorgeous as Angel Diamond…..dare I ask….what's your full name?" Reid asked curiously, really wondering if there was any end to his beauty.

"Angelus Christian Diamond." He said softly through his blush.

"God damn…" Reid whispered in deep emotion.

When Angel heard that, he looked up. Angel's breath caught and his heart fluttered at what he saw when he looked at Reid. Reid's usual light blue eyes were now an extremely dark shade of blue and were exuding pleasure, of the sexual variety. Reid was standing closer to him too. Angel's breathing picked up and his body heat started to climb. Then Reid began to gradually lean in closer. Angel had an idea of what was happening, but he couldn't believe it was happening right here, right now, and with a hunk of a guy at that! Right when their lips were just about to touch…..the bell rang, breaking their atmosphere. Reid slumped and rested his forehead against Angel's in exasperation at the bad timing the bell made and sighed at the loss of atmosphere that was created between them. Reid then leaned back and took a couple steps backward to give Angel space and dug in his pocket and took a slip of paper out.

"Keep in touch?" Reid asked in a hopeful undertone.

Angel blinked a couple times to clear the fogginess that overtook his vision and thinking and looked at the slip of paper in thought for a few seconds before reaching out to take it.

"…Yeah." Angel replied.

That made Reid overjoyed. "Great…I'll see ya around then."

Angel hummed a bit shyly in agreement before Reid left the bathroom. When it was just him in the bathroom, he slumped back against the wall and sighed contently. He brought his hand up and looked at the piece of paper Reid gave him. It was a finely written number with Reid's first and last name at the top along with a winking face next to his name. Angel breathed out a soft laugh at that and put it in his pocket before leaving to his 4th hour class. When he got there, his friends were already there chattin' to each other off to the side of the classroom. Angel joined them while they waited for the room to fill up so they could pick their seats. While the three of them talked and the room was gradually was filling, a group six students walked in. And in that group of six, Angel noticed a familiar face, two familiar faces in fact. Sarah and Reid. He was happy to know he would have another class with Sarah. He was especially happy at knowing he would have a class with Reid. As the group of six passed Angel and his two friends, Reid felt eyes on him so he turned and looked in the direction he suspected the person was and spotted Angel. He smiled big and bright at the sight of him, Angel smiling happily as well at the acknowledgment. Reid winked at him as he passed with his group of friends, making Angel smile and blush shyly.

Once the teacher entered and the bell rang, he introduced the three new students – being Angel, Chelsea, and Eddie – to his class and assigned their seats before getting started on today's English lesson.

"Alright, everyone, we will be going over a story today of which I'm sure you've all at least heard of," The English teacher announced as he opened a drawer of his desk and got two stacks of flimsy books out and walked to the left side of the room and gave the first person in the first row the first stack.

"Take one and pass those down for this side." The teacher instructed.

Then he walked back to his desk and grabbed the other stack and walked to the right side of the room and instructed the students of that side to take one and pass them down. The teacher walked back to his desk and sat in his chair as he waited for every student to have the book in front of them. When Angel got a book and passed the remaining ones down, he read the title, then smiled. Romeo and Juliet, one of his favorite romance stories. He hated how tragic it ends, but loves the romantic parts of it. Some students groaned at realizing what story it was while some cheered, others being indifferent.

Once everyone received their books, the teacher spoke. "Open to the first act. We shall start on the prologue. You will all have a test on this, so I would pay attention and not doze off." The teacher advised, rousing a few groans from the class.

The teacher began reading the prologue. Angel was happily following along in the book until he heard someone whisper close to his ear from behind him.

"Hey there, beautiful,"

That made Angel turn around. He saw Reid leaned forward against the back of the couch-like seat of his row and had that charming smile on his face. Angel blushed at noticing him behind him and leaning so close.

"Didn't know you'd be in here. What great luck that you are." Reid whispered.

Angel smiled happily. "Yeah."

The teacher started picking random students to read when dialogue of characters came up in the story.

"How about we hang this weekend? We can go to the dells that night, just you and me." Reid suggested.

A gleam of excitement sparked in Angel's eyes at that request. "I'd like that."

"Perfect, I'll text you the directions when the day comes. Wanna make it Saturday or Sunday?"

"Saturday."

Reid smiled brightly. "Kay, Saturday it is the-"

"Garwin and Diamond, since you two are so keen on talking, how about you read the next lines. Garwin, Romeo. Diamond, Juliet." The teacher ordered.

Reid leaned back and frowned in a sigh while Angel turned back around and blushed down towards his book, knowing exactly what lines they're having to read. Reid reluctantly began reading the lines of Romeo.

"If I profane with my unworthiest hand. This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss." He read flatly without care, only realizing the meaning of what he just read after he read it. It's meaning filled Reid with surprise. He just asked to kiss someone. And that someone is being read by-

"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this; for saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss." Angel read with emotion – not dramatically so, but just enough to be admirable – making every word come alive with believability.

Those words were like electricity sent through Reid. They were read with such conviction that it took Reid away from the fact that they were reading the dialogue of characters in a story, and instead felt like he was talking to Angel personally, but in a different era. That got Reid looking between Angel and the page he was reading from during his next lines.

"Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?" Reid read with the same flat tone, but was unmistakably interested in the lines he was reading now.

"Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer." Angel read impressively again, as if he was living through the character.

"O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; they pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair." Reid read as he gazed down at Angel, transfixed by the emotion Angel was putting in the words.

"Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake." Read Angel.

"Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take. Thus from my lips, by yours, my sin is purged." Reid read.

"Then have my lips the sin that they have took. [Romeo kisses Juliet]" Angel read.

This reminded Reid of when he and Angel were in the bathroom earlier and were about to share a kiss. As a matter of fact, the whole 'seeing Juliet across the ballroom' scene reminded him of how he and Angel met. It amused Reid how parallel these two scenarios were to he and Angel. How fitting that the two of them were reading these parts.

"Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again." Reid read this time smirking down at Angel afterwards once he caught on to the intention of his sentence. Reid noticed this sounded a lot like something he would say which amused him to no end.

"You kiss by the book." Angel said in a grin, chuckling slightly since that's how Juliet would say it.

Reid's eyes sparkled with joy, quite impressed by how Angel made the words on the book come alive. But he wasn't the only one that was impressed. A good portion of the room gradually erupted in applause after Angel read his last line. Even the teacher was smiling in approval.

"I must say, you have a refined talent in voice acting, Mr. Diamond. I'm impressed." The teacher complimented.

Angel smiled, feeling surprised by the compliment. "Thank you, sir."

The teacher then assigned some students to read the follow-up dialogue of the other characters and the teacher read the narrative as they moved deeper in the story all the way to act 2. Once they got to act 2, the bell rang. The teacher bid everyone farewell and said they would continue act 2 tomorrow.

As everyone packed their things and moved out, Reid began speaking to Angel as they gathered their things.

"Where the hell did you learn to read like that?" Reid asked impressed.

Angel smiled and pointed to his own head. "Here." He said after getting everything back in his bag and walking down the stairs in the center and out of the room to the hallway, Reid following.

"Your head….does that mean you didn't learn it from anywhere?"

"Bingo! I was self-taught through just practicing." Angel clarified.

Reid grinned. "You never cease to amaze, do you?"

Angel chuckled and grabbed one side of his bottom lip with his teeth, which made Reid's desire to own those lips grow much stronger. Right then Reid's friends came over to them, as well as Angel's friends. Eddie swung his hand outward to swing his hand forward and clasp one of Angel's hands and leaned across to bump shoulders in a manly greeting.

"Boss reading as always." Eddie said proudly.

"Getting better every time." Chelsea said feeling proud of their friend as well.

Angel smiled in gratitude. "Thanks, guys."

"That was pretty impressive." Caleb stated with a friendly smile.

Angel looked up at the new voice in curiosity. "Thank you."

"I'm Caleb. This is Tyler, Pogue, Kate, Sarah, and Reid."

"Yeah, I've met Sarah and Reid earlier. Nice to meet the rest of you." Angel stated.

"I had no idea you were a little actor. You really should take drama with skills like that." Sarah stated in pleasant surprise.

Angel smiled sheepishly. "Thanks, Sarah, but I wouldn't be able to take a drama class."

Sarah tilted her head slightly in surprise and confusion. "Are you kidding, why not?"

"Believe it or not, I'm actually not so good at physical acting." Angel conveyed in slight embarrassment.

"Really?" Reid and his friends said in unison with disbelief.

Angel looked at all of them, amused by them answering at the same time in slight shock.

"Yeah, I tend to not be able to express other people's emotions and personalities good with my body, don't know why. I can only achieve it through voice." Angel explained.

"Interesting." Kate mused.

Reid cleared his throat to gain Angel's attention and to cease all other talking from his group.

"So, I'll catch ya later?" Reid asked Angel.

Angel smiled. "Yeah, later."

"Kay," Reid then lowered his voice to a whisper and leaned in towards Angel's ear so his friends behind him couldn't hear.

"Don't hesitate to call or text me, okay." Reid asked.

Angel nodded with a smile. "I won't."

And with that, Reid and his friends left, Angel and his two friends heading in the opposite direction. Eddie and Chelsea looked over at Angel with contained excitement, grins being the only hint on it.

"So, Ang…" Eddie said knowingly with a grin.

"It went well?" Chelsea finished with a curious smile in time with Eddie as if they were thinking from the same brain.

Angel looked between the both of them in confusion. "Hmm? What did?"

Chelsea and Eddie rolled their eyes fondly. Angel wasn't always able to catch on to things at the right time.

"The blonde boy?" Chelsea elaborated.

"You went to meet him during lunch." Eddie explained next.

"And he just whispered to you about contacting him." Chelsea finished in a grin.

"Oh! That….yeah, it went great. He gave me his number." Angel said in a slight blush.

"Ang, that's great!" Eddie said happily.

"So you're an item." Chelsea stated happily.

"Uh~ not quite." Angel stated sheepishly. Eddie and Chelsea's eyes widened.

"Really?" Eddie asked in surprise.

Angel sighed in disappointment. "Yeah, we were interrupted by the bell before we could get into that. We haven't been able to be alone yet since."

Chelsea and Eddie hummed and nodded in response.

"But you do want to date him?" Chelsea asked.

"Oh, yeah, definitely! I really like him."

Eddie and Chelsea smiled.

"Great! We got a pretty good feeling about him too." Eddie stated.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Angel, Eddie, and Chelsea were now entering the front door of their foreign language class which was Chinese Mandarin. They chose this language out of the four given since Angel loves how the language sounds, plus Chinese is one of the most spoken languages in America since so many people from China and Taiwan are coming over, so it would help in conversing with those types of people. Chelsea was taking it for those reasons as well, but Eddie? He just wanted to be able to woo girls of those countries. When there was a minute left till class started, mostly everyone in class by now, one more student walked in. Angel wasn't paying attention to who it was since he was looking through one of the text books to the class about the Chinese language and culture which fascinated him. While he was reading he heard a familiar voice come up from beside him.

"Well….looks like we can't stay away from each other, even when we have no control."

Angel looked up to his left and saw Reid there walking towards him. He smiled in surprise.

"Reid? You have this class too?" Angel asked.

Reid sat next to him. "Yep, I see you and your friends do too." He said as he sent a greeting nod towards Eddie and Chelsea who were sitting on the other side of Angel.

"So what brought you to learn Chinese?" Chelsea asked Reid.

Reid huffed out a short laugh. "Oh, I just picked at random. I don't really care to learn another language, but since it's a part of our education that we have to have if we want to graduate from here, had to pick a class."

Angel and his friends hummed in acknowledgement before turning their eyes to the front of the room when the female teacher entered and the bell rang. A few minutes later, the Chinese class was going over greetings. All the students had a couple sheets of paper in front of them with the kanji for the words so the kids could understand the pronunciation.

"-ounced as ni hao. Ni, meaning you. Hao, meaning good. So when saying ni hao, you are literally saying, you good. Now if you want to ask someo-"

Reid wasn't paying attention, but Angel, Eddie, Chelsea and most of the class were soaking up the information like a sponge. After explaining some pronunciations of some of the words on their papers, the teacher Mrs. Yun started picking students at random to pronounce some of the words she just said and explained. She chose tow students before she decided to pick Eddie to repeat the Chinese words. Before him, the two students struggled a bit – one more than the other – and had the teacher correct them a couple times, so no one has been able to pronounce the words without error yet. Reid started paying attention when students had to say the words, knowing a good laugh was going to be in reach with this. After Eddie was called, he looked down at his paper in determined focus.

"Uhhh-mm….ni hao….ni hao ma? Wo hen hao." Said Eddie.

He said the 'ni hao' correctly and 'ni hao ma?' correctly, but on 'wo hen hao' he pronounced the 'e' in 'hen' very harshly and made it sound like hen as in a chicken like mother hen.

Mrs. Yun smiled. "That was a good try, Mr. Rogers, but the 'hen' in 'wo hen hao' needs to be pronounced less with an 'e' sound and more with a 'u' sound as in 'uh' instead of 'eh', okay?"

Eddie nodded in disappointment and slight embarrassment. Eddie did better than the two girls that were called on before him, so he felt better about that at least. Then Mrs. Yun called on Chelsea. Chelsea took a good, gentle deep breath and picked some words on her paper to test saying out loud.

"Ni ne? Xie xie. Bu ke qi." Said Chelsea.

Chelsea got everything right except the 'Bu ke qi'. She got the 'Bu' correct, but not the 'Ke qi'. She pronounced 'Ke' as 'keh' and 'qi' as 'key'.

"Close, Mrs. Starr. That was a good first try. It's pronounced, bu ke qi. You'll have plenty of time to get use to these words since you'll have three days till you have to turn in your practice sentences worksheets, so don't worry." Mrs. Yun said kindly.

She then called on Angel to say some words out loud, him being the last one to demonstrate.

"Ni hao. Ni hao ma? Wo hen hao, xie xie." Angel said.

He pronounced everything well, just like the teacher said them. Some of the students stared at him in surprise by how well he said it. Eddie and Chelsea were smiling at him proudly, and Reid was slack jawed and staring at him in surprise just like everyone else, but with adoration added in to his eyes and grin.

Mrs. Yun smiled at Angel. "Well done Mr. Diamond. I see you got it down."

Angel smiled sheepishly and looked down at his paper from the many looks of praise he was getting. After Chinese class was finished and the bell signaled for students to leave to their next class, Reid walked up to Angel as he said goodbye to his two friends and was about to leave the classroom.

"Hey...Angel…..you spoke Chinese beautifully, have you heard the words before or something?" Reid asked as they walked out of class.

Angel blushed. "Thank you…..and yeah, some of them. All kinds of clients come to my mom and dad's studio."

Reid grinned in interest. "Ya know….you're a pretty interesting boy."

Angel blushed a bit more and looked up at Reid in a smile. Once Reid found out where Angel was going for his last class, Reid smirked since it was one they had together too, swim class.

'this'll give me an excuses to see him naked. This should be fun.' Reid thought.
