"Yeah I know." Ivy spat at the guy who was kneeling in front of her. She was just passing through in her leather mini skirt and cross backed shirt when she heard a few guys cat calling her and whistling. A few even reached out to touch the edge of her skirt and one of them tried to reach a little more and she reacted by kneeing him on the groin. He called her a b-tch.

She turned away from the boys only to get caught in someone's strong grip.

"No wonder I heard a commotion." Reed grinned when he caught her before she could bump into him. He glanced down at her clothes and it made him want to punch the guys that watching her with their lustful eyes.

"How many man you sent to hospital today?" he notice the guy that still clutching his crotch and tried to stand up.

"Two if you count the one I almost ran over with my bike." Ivy tries to pull away from him and she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, glaring. She wasn't actually glaring at Reed. She was glaring at the world in general and she felt like cutting classes again. This meant imminent kick-out for her.

"I...got to go." She mumbled an excuse. The guy who she kneed was almost recovering from the blow.

"Hey, not your fault that they couldn't keep their hands away from you." Reed said as he looked over her shoulder to the guy behind her, not paying attention to her glare and what she said. Then he looked at his own hands that still holding her. They got all of the entire attention from the people in the hallways. People either think Reed tried to rescue her or harass her.

"And don't tell me it's my fault you couldn't keep your hands to yourself." Ivy looked down at his hands on her arms. Just then, she noticed the quiet atmosphere of the hallways and she turn her face only to realize that most of the people where looking at them. She wasn't surprised. Reed was the social god of attraction and she was a badass troublemaker. The perfect Romeo and Juliet...except she was no Juliet. She'd rather play Paris and die.

"Um...Reed." She hissed under her breath. "Let go."

Reed smirked slightly and slipped his hand so he held her wrist before he feigned a smile that no one notice. He need to act good in front of people for his reputation.

"I'm your friend, it's not that I'm trying to jump at you if we're alone, Ivy." he looked back at the guy, "Don't feel upset man, but she's already taken."

"Oh yeah? and since when have we established that we're friends?" She said to Reed in an undertone. She resisted the urge to pull away from him. The problem was, she was also fighting back the urge to move closer. It took all her concentration to stay where she was and not do anything stupid.

"He's lying." Ivy snarled at the bod over Reed's shoulder.

"I didn't." Reed stated, "well more or less.." he thought about the facts that she wouldn't want to date these kind of guys. They don't stand a chance against her. But he wasn't so sure about it, maybe she like the nerd type compared to an asshole like him.

"And you need to come with me sweetie." he gave her a half smile. Alec told him that he got his next job as a model for Armani jeans and he need a partner for that.

"With you?" Ivory made it sound like an accusation and she even went so much as to give the guys behind Reed a pleading look before she turned to him and raised a brow.

"Seriously, Reed. Do you really think I trust you enough to actually go with you when I don't even know what's in it for me?"

Reed gave her a disappointed look and a scowl when she begged for another guy. No more pretending to be the good guy for him.

"I was going to ask you to be my partner at Armani campaigns. You know you'll gain fame if you work with me. But my manager can always find another girl if you don't want." he replied, suddenly being cold but show enough respect just as much as business partner.

He dodged out of the way and caught the guy wrist when he suddenly aimed for his collar. "That's so nice of you." his voice dripped with sarcasm. "I'm sure Ivy would appreciate it if you manage to hit me that is."

(Eh.... o.o Scary.)

Ivy could say anything to that. She barely managed to keep herself from gaping when suddenly, things turned for the worst when the guy from earlier tried to take Reed on. Her concern evaporated though when Reed said what he said and she grimaced.

"Okay, that's it!" Ivy pushed the guy from Reed's hold and she pushed Reed away from the other guy. "You," She turned to the pervert and at his friends. "Leave before I permanently damage your manhood and you," She turned to Reed. "What the hell is your problem?"

They both had problems. She just didn't want to admit it.

(haha xD)

Reed glared at the guys. The people around them were whispering harshly about the accident. It could be a big scoop if Reed got punched. He was lucky he learn a few tricks from his acting.

"There's no problem. I just merely asked you and this guy interfered, thinking he should help a vulnerable girl like you. Did I force you to come?" he gritted his teeth, holding in his emotion. He was upset that she asked the guy instead of him.

"Fine!" Ivy gripped the hem of her shirt and let go, feeling like she was about to accept a death sentence. She seriously didn't know what made this guy tick and he always managed to say things that got her to do what he wanted. "f I go with you smooth and simple, will you stop making a scene?"

She let her eyes wander over the multitude of people who were looking their way.

Reed managed to calm down and he ruffled the back of his hair when he felt the tense in the air. He shrugged calmly with a smirk. "I said I won't force you if you don't want Ivy." he started walking and ignoring the clear look people gave to them. He expected for her to come after what she said.

"Well, I'm coming whether yo like it or not so..." Ivy growled and and waled past Reed, hitting his shoulder with hers. She was in such a confused and fowl mood that she didn't really know where she was going in the first place. She didn't even realize that she was heading straight towards the mens C.R.

Reed was surprised that she bumped her shoulder against him and she headed for the men's C.R. He was going to trick her and he didn't say anything. He always love a good show and even more if it involves with Ivy, more better than pulling a prank on teacher.

Ivy was looking at her feet and she pushed through the throng of people. Some even looked like they were about to help but she misunderstood them and glared at whoever went too near. It was too late though and she slammed against the door just as it was about to be opened.

You could just imagine how painful it all was.

Reed didn't expected her to slammed against the door because he saw it wide open before it got closed by someone and now another guy opened it. He quickly caught her so she won't fall backwards.

"Auch.. that look hurts a lot.. want me to blow it for you?" he was trying to hold back his laugh.

"Oh just shut the hell up, Cross." Ivy kept a hand over her head and she pulled away from him. She pushed the guy who was going outside out of her way and she slammed the door behind her. She didn't care if the room she was on suddenly smelled like sweat and...and... oh f-ck. She just didn't care anymore. XD

She wanted to cry. But she knew she wouldn't. She locked the door behind her and turned to the mirror. "Oh god."

Reed was stunned and nearly gaped when she went inside the room, "Hey Ivy, you sure you're okay?" he knocked on the door, getting worried for her somehow and he forgot all of his anger for her now.

"Do you realize where are you in right now? Get out or I'll call the teacher." he said. Of course he won't, he just want her to get out and make sure she's okay.

"No, I don't know where I am." Eve stared at the huge red thing on her forehead and she groaned. "And I don't really want to know..." She caught a glimpse of the modified toilet that the guys use for convenience and she swallowed. She wanted to get out but she knew Reed would be there.

Reed heard her groaned and he tried to turn on the handle again even though he knew it was pointless. "Ivy, are you okay?" he knocked on the door again. He grabbed a guy that near him and told him to search for the janitor to open the door.

"I'm fine! Jeez, didn't you hear me the first time?" Ivy shuffled closer to the mirror to see how deep the gash was and she bit her lower lip as she put a hand on the sink so she could lean in a little closer. But sadly, her hand slipped from the sink and the weight that she added caused her to trip forward and she banged her head against the mirror.

"Oh f-ck!" She cussed. This was not her day.

Reed heard the banged sound and thought she was in trouble or she fell to the floor. Thankfully the kid brought the janitor soon and he quickly unlocked the door to see what happened inside..

Ivy heard the click of the handle which meant Reed somehow managed to unlock it. She scrambled up and ran to one of the cubicles, slamming it closed. She gagged a the smell but kept as quiet as possible. She slid the lock closed, glad that it couldn't be opened with a key. You had to either climb up or crawl down to get to her.
