I was at my Aunt's home (Pogue's mother) and I was furious! First, I find out that not am I only going to be staying in Ipswich away from my friends, but my Mother wouldn't even be here! Apparently, she has this "huge business trip" that she just has to attend to. And she wouldn't be here for, about the whole month.
Second, I was going to be baby-sat by my stupid over protective cousin (Pogue) and his stupid little friends. The Sons of Ipswich. I mean really what kind of name is that? It sounded like a wannabe boy band or whatever.
Let's describe Pogue shall we? Pogue: rebel, overprotective, can get jealous really fast, is in love with a girl him named: Kate Tunney. I haven't met her. I have only been around Pogue a couple of times. When I was there for summers, he was usually somewhere off with the other "Sons". But, when he was around and our Mothers made us hang around together, he was always talking about Kate. Kate, Kate, Kate. And if it wasn't about Kate then it was his "super cool" (as he liked to call them) friends.
But, Pogue wasn't a bad guy. He was kind of cool. We got along…well sort of. At least he had the decency to ask about me. He liked to know about my friends. And well, I was young so I would even tell him about my crushes. And he would always get protective of me and say I could only ever be with someone who, A) deserved me, B) took care of me, C) loved me, and finally D) someone he thought was good enough for me. I thought it was cute how he cared about me, but I guess now he probably wouldn't even remember any of it.
I am staying in an apartment in the nearest complex. My room just so happens to be down the hall from Pogue's. Coincidence? I think not. My Father made sure I stayed somewhere without my Mother because he knew we could both kill each other if we wanted to. Father made sure to put everything I would need into it already. Blair, Serena, and I went shopping before I left, so my closet was stocked with brand new clothes, bags, shoes, jewelry, everything a girl could need from Sak's, Barney's, Tiffany's, and a bunch of other stores in Soho.
I had already talked to the Provost of the school and even though he said it would be hard for me to keep going back an forth to different schools, it would probably be best if I just stood here. Heck no, am I going to stay here for 4 months until I turn 18 years old. I thanked him for his uhh...concern, if you could call it that. He just wanted more of my parent's money to put in his pocket. After, I received my uniforms, timetable, map of the school, and locker combination. I went back to the apartment and put everything where I wanted it to go, then I got everything ready for my first day of school tomorrow. I felt really drowsy all of a sudden and decided to go to sleep.

The next morning I was woken up by my alarm which read 5:30. I groaned and decided to get ready, since Pogue was going to show me around the school. At around 6:45 a knock was heard at the door. I quickly dumped my bowl of Lucky Charms and went to go answer it.
There was a man on the opposite side. He had shoulder length dirt blond hair, mysterious brown eyes, had on a black leather jacket, over his school uniform. Under the shirt I could see bulging muscles. This stranger looked familiar to me. It couldn't be Pogue could it?
"Hey Vi." the Stranger said with a deep voice and chuckled at my expression. It was Pogue! Holy cow! I would know that voice anywhere, even if he's voice deepened. Pogue wasn't some wimpy little kid anymore.
"Hey Pogue." I said kind of awkwardly.
"Come here." He said while pulling me into a tight hug. I smiled and laughed. Yep, this was Pogue. My Pogue. The overprotective cousin who treated me like a sister. That little strange awkwardness we had soon left. "You sure have grown into a beautiful girl, Vi."
"Thanks. Look at you! Where'd the muscles come from? If I could remember correctly, the last time I saw you, you were about as skinny as me." I replied laughing at his narrowed eyes.
"Ha ha Vi, very funny. Now are you ready?" He asked.
"Yep." I responded grabbing my new Chanel bag, Sidekick, keys, and wallet. "So am I following you or…"
"You can ride with me. I have a feeling your gonna like it." He responded walking over to a yellow and black Ducati and handing me a helmet as he put on his own. "Like it?"
"Like it?" I repeated dumbfounded, "More like loooovvveee it!" He just chucked. We were soon zooming through the roads of Ipswich to Spencer Academy. I loved the way the wind blew in my hair at how fast we were going. Apparently, Pogue remembered one thing about me, I loved fast cars. Well, it was a motorcycle, but still you get my point.
(Reid's POV)
Caleb, Tyler, and I were waiting on the steps of the school for Pogue to arrive. What the hell is taking him so long? School starts in 10 minutes. Not that I care if I'm late, but still he's supposed to be here already! Wait, here he finally comes to grace us with his presence.
He parked his bike right next to Caleb's mustang, he's normal parking space. But, he wasn't alone. There was someone else with him. Female…yep. But it certainly wasn't Kate. She took off her helmet and she was smiling and laughing with Pogue. He started to tickle her like they were old friends.
She was beautiful! She had brown hair that went about 3 inches below her shoulders, blue eyes that were filled with playfulness and mischief, pale pink lips, and a perfect tan. Who was she? Why is Pogue with her? And where's Kate? Oh if Kate finds out Pogue is in some deep shit.
(Violet's POV)
The fun ride on Pogue's motorcycle was over all to soon. Serena would love it!
"Have fun?" Pogue asked smiling.
"Oh yeah. We can't ride motorcycles like that in New York City because the streets are always so jammed pact." I replied kinda grimly. "But, we're gonna do that again once class is over right?" Pogue laughed at her wide hopeful eyes.
"Sure. Come on." He said while grabbing her hand and leading her towards the school.
"You know Pogue one of these days that bike of yours is just going to go missing." I stated.
"Oh really." He challenged starting to tickle her. I started laughing and I couldn't stop. Darn it! Leave it to Pogue to remember I'm ticklish.
"Okay, okay. I'll surrender. Stop." I said still giggling. Pogue finally stopped when we heard someone clear their throats.
We quickly turned around and I saw three guys standing there. Three gorgeous guys if I do say so myself. They all had confused looks on their faces, but blondie was smirking.
"Hey guys." Pogue started.
"Hey, who's your uhh…friend." Blondie was the first to speak out of the three.
"Oh, guys I told you already. Well at least I think I did. Oh well anyway this is Violet Evans. She's my cousin from New York." looks of relief started showing on each of their faces. Why relief? Who did these guys think I was?
"Hi." I said giving them all a small wave.
"Vi, this is Caleb Danvers, Reid Garwin, and Tyler Simms." the lot each gave their own hellos. But, I had to admit all of them were gorgeous.
"Well, we better head to class." Caleb announced when he checked the time. "See you all at Lunch, it was nice meeting you Violet."
"Come on, Vi. We both have first period together." Pogue said grabbing my hand and running into class right as the bell rang.
"Well it nice of you to join us Ms. Evans and Mr. Perry. Perry, you know how I am about being tardy and Ms. Evans I will give you a warning today because it is your first day, but do not make this a habit. Now both of you go take your seats." Professor Walters said.
Pogue and I muttered a "sorry" each and we both sat down in the middle row right next to each other since those were the only two seats left. I could feel everyone's gaze. I don't know if they were on Pogue for showing up late or just because I was the new girl arriving with Pogue Perry. It was most likely the latter. I tried my best to ignore the stares while I took out a notebook and pretended to take notes. I know that since I am going to keep switching schools I should pay attention, but Pr. Walter's class was just plain boring. Pogue agreed with me on that too. So we both just passed notes back and forth through the whole period.
(Kate's POV)
I walked into first period with Sarah and we sat in one of the back rows so we could see everyone. I noticed it was only 1 minute before the bell rang and Pogue still wasn't here. Why wasn't he here? Pogue is never late, none the less skip first period. He wasn't sick was he? Oh no. I feel like a horrible girlfriend now, he's probably all alone at home sick in bed. But, there he was. He ran into the classroom right as the late bell rang.
I smiled. He wasn't sick, he probably just over slept. But, that smile soon faltered when I noticed he had his arm around the girl's shoulder. I never saw her before, but she was beautiful. Jealousy and hurt soon raised within me. Was Pogue cheating on me? Why else would he be late? But, she looks new, maybe he was just trying to help her find her class. Yeah, that's probably it. Pogue has a kind heart, he probably just took pity on her.
That little hope I had vanished too, when I noticed he still had his arm around her shoulder, even though they both were already in the classroom. I saw both of them take their seats and pass notes back and forth to each other during class. That little Bitch. Who the hell does she think she is?! No one messes around with Kate Tunney's man! That little Home wrecker is going down!
