There were already two vehicles there parked on the small grassy meadow in front of the lake, a pink Jeep and a matching white one."The girls are here." Dean announced."That's fairly obvious, what's with the matching cars?"He laughed with a sarcastic lilt. "Who knows...it's weird, these girls are really obnoxious."She looked at him surprised by his tone, it sounded lethal as he got out of the truck and closed his door. He looked back in the open window with that sexy grin back on his face. "Come on...are you scared?"She could see the girls were already looking, expectantly at Dean's truck pulling up followed by three other vehicles. She got out and walked around to the front, meeting Dean as he gave her a reassuring smile and flicked his head at her indicating the lake."Come on...don't be shy, I won't even introduce you to them...""Hey, it's the basketball girl!" Mark yelled out as he got out of the passenger side of another large pick up truck. Dean glared at him to shut up bu
Dean was walking to his truck on Friday when he heard a squeal and looked over towards the other side of the lawns between the carpark and the administration building to see Aria being held up high over the head of her supposed brother as he laughed. Aria was clearly not happy and was kicking and flailing her arms around, screaming to be put down.Dean watched with a dark unreadable expression.He watched as Kahlia threw Aria up into the air like a ragdoll and let one of his team mates catch her. The guy practically groped her as he tossed her around, one hand clearly grabbing around her breast as he manhandled her before putting her on her feet back on solid ground.Dean folded his arms and leaned back on the side of his truck, sucking on his teeth in disapproval.Aria kicked her brother in the shin causing him to bend over and hop on one foot, then she jumped on his back and tried to get him in a head lock. Kahlia managed to reach back and grab her around the back of the neck and be
Dean got the word from Tony and read the message out to Mark and Hamish. "He's at the pond.""Alright, let's go deal..." Mark stood up from where he had been leaning on the bonnet of Dean's truck. He moved down the side and opened the passenger side door. Dean jumped in the driver's seat and Hamish got into his own truck where a couple of other guys were already waiting. As he drove out Hamish followed."At least there shouldn't be anyone else there at this time of year...""Yeah...that's probably why they hang out there...drop kicks.""Should we throw them in the pond?" Mark laughed, everyone knew the pond was infested with leeches."Hmm..." Dean snorted. "Not before I smack some sense into him..."Mark gave him a rather contemplative look. "Feeling fiesty...or frustrated?"Dean looked over at him then back to the road. "What the fuck are you implying now..."Mark grinned and looked away out the side window. "Nothing at all.""Good..." Dean grumbled. "Keep it that way."They drove p
Dean had one more opportunity lend itself to talking to the new girl later that same day when she was walking alone from her locker and heading outside for lunch. He knew the basketball guys were already in the gymnasium so jogged up behind her and fell into step beside her. She casually glanced up, probably thinking it was one of her friends, and he grinned down at her, sweeping his hair back from his eyes."Hey again."She stopped walking and looked around with a strange frown on her face. "Hello?""Do you have a minute?""For what?" Her frown deepened and she avoided his gaze. His jaw clenched a little in annoyance, she wasn't reacting like most girls, most girls would be bouncing on their toes to accept five minutes with him, in fact there were already about six girls watching them right now trying to evaluate what was going on and why was he talking to the new girl. Was that her problem?"Are you embarrassed to be seen with me?" He asked in reply.She looked up at him a little w
Dean didn't know whether to like or hate the fact that once he had noticed the new girl, Aria, it seemed he started seeing her everywhere around school he went. Just that same day he saw her twice more at the lockers and then outside on the grass in front of the school's main entrance as she talked with a couple of the basket ball team.It seemed to him that the three guys that had come from New Zealand to play basketball were all very protective of her. He still had no idea how the hell that giant was supposedly her brother, he was definitely polynesian, right down to the cultural tattoos and frizzy afro of hair that he braided like cornrows whereas Aria had definite european features, and tanned skin, not to mention those amazing green eyes.He also started hearing more conversations about her, he wasn't sure if it was his inate abilities honing in on what he was curious about or just that he was taking more notice in general but it seemed to him there was more than a few guys looki
"Hey, I found your girlfriend." Mark announced two days after the scare incident."What fucking girlfriend?"Dean scowled at his friend, he was always doing this, trying to matchmake him with some rich snobby girl."The sassy little green eyed monster from the other day..." He shot at Dean with his fingers. "Her name's Aria, she's in senior year with us."Dean rolled his eyes. "For fuck's sake...the screamer?" So he had noticed her amazing green eyes too, damn."She hangs out with the polynesian transfers on the basketball team.""What? The polynesians, what the fuck?" There was a group of exchange students that came to play basketball from overseas and get college scholarships guaranteed, mostly from New Zealand. "Ah! I knew you were interested." Mark smirked, pleased with himself.Dean grumbled, wiping a hand down over his face. "I'm not, i just wonder why she's hanging out with them...maybe she is a cheerleader?" Mark shrugged. "Don't know, but she was just at the basketball court
