Sadly I do not own any of the characters in the story. Wish I owned Reid though. ^_^

"Ooof. Ummm, OW! Scuse me, comin through." Beth had only been at Spencer for two classes and she hated it already. The halls were crowded, the students were pushy, and there were way too many classes. She was late to her second and was probably gonna be late to third. They didn't care if you were new. She'd already received a "warning" and made one teacher totally hate her.

'Way to go Beth' she thought sadly. She looked up from her sulking and about dropped her jaw. Walking down the hall were the four most gorgeous guys she had ever seen and that was saying something seeing as her dad was a photographer for swim suit commercials. Sometimes, she got to go with him. These boys were totally rocking the school uniforms. One had light brown hair that was short but wavy and was small but you could tell he had some muscles. The next was much the same, just a little taller and more muscular. He had deep black hair cropped shorter than the last. Beside him was the biggest of the four. He had shaggy dirty blonde hair. And right behind them was one that was bigger than #'s 1 and 2. He wasn't that much smaller than the third guy. He had bleach blonde hair that was shadowed his eyes. His muscles were well defined even through the white oxford he wore. On his hands were fingerless gloves and on his head a black beanie.

As she was taking all this in two girls, yet another blonde and a brunette came running up to guys 2 and 3. They both started holding hands and being all mushy gooey about there "love for the biggest, smartest, bravest, cutest boys in the whole wide world." "Yuck" Beth thought fighting back a grimace. About the same time a teacher poked his head out the door of his classroom.

"OK girls, no PDA and Mr. Garwin for the millionth time, please remove that hat from your head in the building."

The girls both laughed while the blonde boy feigned surprise. "Moi," he asked in with a mock face of innocence. "Surely it's not the millionth time already." He had a huge smile on his face before he had even finished his sentence. The group he was with was trying hard not to laugh.

"Yes, I know you can't count much higher than 25 but that's not my fault."

"Mr. Moshwits, you insult my intelligence."

"I sure did, now lose the hat, get in here, and the rest of you get to class." Everyone within earshot was cracking up now including Beth. As she looked at the schedule in her hands, she realized Mr. Moshwits was her next period. Unfortunately she had kept walking while looking at the list of teachers. She ran right into Reid after the rest had gone in.

"Excuse you. I'm walking here" he said as he smirked and walked off to go sit in his seat.

"WHAT THE HELL??? JERK!"

"What did you say to me?" He turned around with an incredulous look on his face, as if he couldn't believe he had been challenged. He stalked over and deliberately stepped on her dropped papers. "I don't think I heard you correctly."

"Did I stutter or was I just talking to fast for you to comprehend." She cocked an eyebrow and glared. He glared right back. As she was glaring she couldn't help but notice that he had really blue eyes. Suddenly he had a smirk on his stupid face. He turned around, digging his heel into her paper so that nothing was readable. He walked off and called over his shoulder, "Have fun getting to class now."

With that he walked up the row of seats and the few students who were in there went back to what ever they had been doing. Thankfully, the teacher was still in the hallway gabbing with another student. Beth bent down and muttered "you jackass" before proceeding to pick her books. Then there was a hand there helping her. She looked up into the face of the brunette boy that had been in the group of four. She could see up close what she hadn't before. He had icy blue eyes like Reid did. His face had something sort of boyish to it, but not in a bad way. It suited him and made him look really hot. She guessed it was some kind of innocence thing that made him that way. She was staring and didn't even realize until he cleared his throat. She shook her head and noticed that he was holding her notebooks out to her.

"Oh, I'm sorry," she said quickly taking the books. She knew she was blushing. It didn't seem to bother him, or else he felt bad for her. He smiled a quick little grin.

"It's no problem. Are you ok? Everyone here knows how Reid is and he can be a really big jerk. Just like you said." He smiled again at the memory and she noticed he had a really white smile. Just another plus to him.

She remembered too and blushed even brighter. "I'm fine thanks. I'll just stay outta his way from now on." She looked at the floor as she talked.

"You're new here. Where'd you transfer from?" He sounded like he was trying to keep her from being too embarrassed so she answered "Westbrook, Connecticut. It's a really small town." She finally looked up and saw he was really listening.

"Do you miss it?"

"No, not really." They both smiled at this.

"Why not?"

"It was just too small for me. It had no history at all. This place does."

"That makes sense. Hey, have you got anyone to sit with yet? There's a lot of kids and you might not know any in this class."

"Actually no, I don't. Why?"

"Well, I was thinking, maybe, that is if you wanted to you could sit with us. But it's totally up to you." He looked a little frantic as he said this.

"Us? Is Reid included in that?"

"Yeah, you probably don't want to. Never mind." He was the one looking at the floor now. Beth looked up at Reid and he was smirking as if to say 'there's no way you will.' He had seen the whole thing.

"Is that your way of rescinding your invite, or can I still sit with you?" He looked up and smiled at her. 'What have you gotten yourself into now?' she thought as she looked up at that arrogant blonde. "By the way, I'm Beth Shaufner."

"Tyler Simms." And then he grinned his perfect grin.
