Chapter 7! Heehee, thanks for the reviews & Alerts, you guys are all awesome =] My Tyler muse was random and gave this to me earlier than planned...so enjoy!
"Can you believe that?!" Tyler grinned slightly, the whole fiasco at the store had left a permanent grin on his handsome face, but along with it, was Reid's annoyance. The boy actually felt rejected, which was something that Reid Garwin knew, but Tyler never actually felt it.
"She got under your skin, huh?" Tyler mused carefully as he looked over the blond son, the slight anger trickled through his veins. Reid didn't know about Eva until after Tyler, surely Reid wasn't that blind to how Tyler was around her?
Then again…Reid Garwin always got what he wanted, even if it was what Tyler wanted.
No. Not this time
"I'm not 'bent out of shape', it's just frustrating." Reid growled and jogged up the steps, Tyler held back the urge to roll his eyes at his blond friend and simply followed after him.
He sat down next to him, the bell rang and the students slowly filed in, she came in and Reid had tensed at his side. "Bent out of shape." Tyler snickered and Reid glared.
"I'll show you how bent I am." Reid muttered and stood up, quickly walking over to the next aisle, sliding into Rosa Mitchell, the same girl Reid had been catching up with all summer long, the girl had a sort of obsession over him, Reid had managed to avoid her thus far, until now.
Tyler grinned victoriously, seeing him smooch the other girl on the lips, his blue eyes moved over the classroom, his eyebrows furrowed slightly when he noticed just how tense Caleb was.
Tyler focused in on the son, the tension and nervousness washing over him, his heartbeat picked up slightly and his phone vibrated in his pocket, sending him flying almost a mile in the air.
Stare any harder at Danvers nd people might jump 2 conclusions - E
Tyler grinned slightly, glancing up to meet her bright hazel eyes before she looked back towards the front of the class. He took a deep breath and paused…why didn't he feel Caleb's tension anymore?
For a test, he glanced over at the brown haired teen and focused once again, the same emotions almost drowning him. He sharply looked over at Eva and it all disappeared.
What the hell?
"Mr. Simms, what is so interesting about Ms. Winthrop? Please inform us." Tyler paled slightly, had he really been staring at her that shocked? He opened his mouth and paused, Eva had turned in her seat, giving him an amused look and he seemed to still in his seat.
"Um…" he glanced over at Reid, who wasn't seated next to him anymore. He cursed and glanced around, his eyes resting on the blond. Reid was giving him a cocky smirk, tapping his fingers along his lip as he also awaited Tyler's answer.
"Mr. Simms?"
Tyler threw the teacher an annoyed look and sighed, "Nothing professor…"
"If that's it for disruptions, I'll continue with my lesson." Tyler nodded slightly and wanted to disappear in his seat. The class dragged on into the next one, this time, Reid was now sitting next to him.
"What was all that about?" He whispered harshly.
"What was what?" Tyler kept his eyes trained on his pen as it moved along the paper, refusing to meet the other boy's gaze.
"In class, why were you staring at Eva? I didn't know you liked her." Reid's sneered and Tyler's hand clenched around his pen.
"I don't like her… not like that…she's just…someone that was there for me when I needed someone, when you weren't there." Tyler said sharply and the conversation ended. God, did they sound like a bickering couple.
"She's hot." Reid commented and Tyler glared slightly.
"She hates your guts." that sentence made a smirk come to Tyler's face.
"A fine line between love and hate my friend." Reid patted Tyler's shoulder and the conversation died down again, Tyler was mulling that thought over in his head, how true it was.
His parent's, they had claimed to be so in love, in his father's final years, they could barely stand the sight of each other, how easily their love quickly turned to hate, wouldn't it be able to do the opposite? The only reason they had ever stayed together was because of him and when his father died, his mother seemed to break out of her shell, becoming the person she once was…before he was born.
She was rarely home, only for big holidays and his birthday, that's about it, anything more than that would be asking too much from her. Besides her, the others were the only family he actually had.
"You going to sit there all day long?" Tyler glanced up at Reid and shook his head, standing up, they quickly walked out of the classroom and made their way to the cafeteria, grabbing their food and sitting down at their designated table, the same one they'd claimed their freshman year.
He smirked slightly, how long ago that all seemed, how nervous he felt that first year, the need to want to impress anyone, all he had to do was say his name and people were immediately throwing themselves at the floor for him.
"Your quiet again." Reid commented and glanced at him sideways, taking a bit of his fries. Tyler glanced up at Caleb and Pogue who were talking away again.
"Just thinking." He shrugged and glanced around, the corners of his mouth turned up as he straightened up slightly. Eva was looking around the cafeteria room, holding her tray in one hand and her cellphone in the other. "Eva!" he waved her over, grinning slightly at the surprised look on her face.
"Tyler…hey." she waved slightly.
"Sit…please." he signaled to the seat next to Pogue, away from Reid.
"Thanks." she gave him a small smile and he grinned back.
"Pogue Parry." Pogue had extended his hand to Eva, seeing the slight look Tyler had given him.
"Eva Winthrop…and I know you all." giving a weak laugh as she opened her drink.
"So Eva…I was thinking, you should come to one of our practices." Tyler rested his elbows on the table as he leaned forward, his blue eyes moving over her face as she grinned slightly.
"Spenser's finest in Speedo's, not really my scene…but since you asked so nicely, I might reconsider." she shrugged and Tyler nodded slightly.
"Maybe after we can head to Nicky's." Reid cut in, leaning towards the girl slightly, Tyler glanced at him, meeting the challenging gaze, his lips twitched into an almost scowl.
"Yeah…save a dance for me?" Tyler turned to Eva who looked a bit flustered. He almost felt bad for her, being bombarded like this by the both of them.
"Um…I'm not sure about Nicky's…I have some stuff to attend to after school." she rubbed the back of her neck nervously and ducked her head slightly, keeping her eyes trained on her tray.
Tyler's eyes zeroed in on her, but he wasn't getting anything, nothing at all. "Eva…how do you feel?" His eyes widened slightly as he realized he said that aloud.
The other Sons' had looked at him like he had three heads, Caleb's gaze was serious and he knew he'd have to explain this to him.
Eva laughed nervously, "What, are you my therapist or something?"
"See, I knew there was something always wrong with you, you do see a therapist." Reid quipped in, sending the girls eyes narrowing slightly, before the devilish smirk came to her face.
"Yeah, I'm so troubled over the affair I'm having with your father, i just want to come clean about everthing." Tyler stiffened slightly, as did the other Sons', they all knew about Reid's father problems, it was mainly the reason why Reid was the way he is.
Reid sent her a chilling glare before stepping up and walking out of the cafeteria room. Tyler kept his eyes down, he was glad Reid was pissed at Eva, now he wouldn't pursue her.
"I shouldn't have said that…" Eva spoke softly, Caleb gave her an apologetic smile.
"It's no problem, he's just overemotional." Pogue chuckled slightly, it was all staged and forced, but it wasn't like she'd notice. Eva seemed to relax, making everyone else at the table breathe a bit easier.
"Tyler." his blue gaze snapped up to meet hers, "Um…I was wondering, since you seem to do so well in Government…maybe you could help me out? Mind being a tutor?" She bit her lip and Tyler grinned before nodding.
"Not at all, Library after school? Wednesday?" he offered, Eva had bit her lip again and his stomach plummeted.
"Actually, I was thinking my dorm, library isn't my scene either." she laughed and the grin on Tyler's face grew.
"Sure. I'll bring the books, you take care of the eatery?" He teased and Eva smirked and nodded.
"Definitely, so see you Wednesday?" Tyler nodded and watched as she stood up, throwing out her tray, his eyes had drifted down, watching the fluid motion her skirt made as it danced around the creamy skin of her thighs.
"Tyler!" He jumped up and looked at Pogue wide eyed. "Baby boy's finally growing up" Pogue had laughed and patted the boy's shoulder. Caleb grinned and shook his head.
"Careful Ty, she might chew you up and spit you out." Caleb jabbed and Pogue elbowed him, chuckling slightly.
"I don't think Ty would mind being chewed at...by her at least." the two boy's snickered and Tyler rolled his eyes, fighting off the blush that threatened to kill his cover.
"It's just a tutoring lesson guys." he sighed and took a sip of his drink.
"Suuuure." Pogue rolled his eyes and grinned, "Do we need to have a talk about the birds and the bee's with our youngest friend?" He taunted and Tyler scoffed.
"I know all I need to know!"
"He's right man, his best friend is Reid Garwin." Caleb smirked slightly, his brown eyes drifting back towards the door the blond had exited by. "I wonder where he went."
"He was chummy with Rosa this morning." Pogue smirked and shook his head, running a hand through his hair and picking up tray. "Let's just get this day over with man."
"Hear! Hear!" Caleb and Tyler chorused before grabbing their own trays, Pogue nudged the both of them and shook his head before dumping their trays out and the trio walked off to finish off the day's classes
