First day of senior year. First day at a new school. How horrible was that combination? With a sigh Roxi dug through her closet trying to find something wear. She picked out a pair of jeans that clung to her like a second skin and a shirt that she had always loved, that clung to her lean body as well.

When the shirt rode up it would be easy to see her tattoo, and she liked that a lot.

She styled her hair so that it framed her face, some of it hanging in front of one eye, and then put on her makeup. Some heavy black eyeliner around her eyes, mascara, and some grey eye shadow, as well as some pink tinted lip gloss.

She slid on a pair of knee-high black boots as well and then checked herself out in the mirror. Not half bad. Tough looking, but not emo-ish, just the image she wanted to project.

She was nervous as hell if she were honest with herself. This was a small town and it seemed like everyone knew everyone else, She had yet to meet anybody her age, so didnt know anyone in her school. She had had plenty of friends in her last school, but this would be different...

With a heavy sigh she grabbed her nearly empty bookbag and slung it over her shoulder before getting into her car and driving towards the school.

Her worst fears were realized when she parked her car and stepped out. Everyone was standing in groups with their friends and she obviously stood out because everybody watched her walk across the parking lot.

What was even worse? There seemed to be no rocker-type kids at this school. Now she really stood out.

One blonde cheerleader looking girl sneered at Roxi as she walked by.

"Nice outfit" the girl said, but it was obvious that it was not a compliment.

Roxi bit back a sharp retort and kept walking, choosing to ignore the jibe and the hundreds of eyes bearing down upon her back as she walked away.

The morning was horrible. Several girls made jeering comments about her outfit and the tattoo that showed occasionally, as well as the tragus piercing that adorned her ear and Roxi felt as if everyone hated her on sight, although she couldn't figure out why. She hadn't been mean to any of them... she just didn't fit in it seemed, and apparently these kids didn't like people who were different than they were.

"I mean she looks like a total freak... "

"Yeah, but a hot freak."

Michelle, the cheerleader, swatted her boyfriend Lee. They were sitting on the wall in front of the school. Ryan was sitting underneath them, his eyes half-closed. A maths textbook was open in front of him.

He was a tall, darkhaired boy, his leanly muscled body attesting to hours spent on the football pitch every day and his intense green eyes shining with a clear, sharp intelligence.

"I'm not sayin', I'm just saying," said Lee, raising his hands in a mock-innocent defence. "That face.... and that fuckin' body. Ride of a lifetime."

"You wanna go and make little freak babies with her, be my guest," sniffed Michelle.

Ryan sighed, and mentally prepared himself to smooth over the potential row between the pair. Lee wasn't always very smart and Michelle wasn't always very nice but they were his friends and they needed him. He felt a certain especial obligation -Michelle had pursued him for a year and a half before settling, and she'd made it plain that it had been settling, for Lee.

He hadn't even seen the girl who'd been causing such a fuss. He opened his mouth

"There she goes. See what I mean, Ryan? Real weirdo," said Michelle, more than audibly.

A slender, dark-haired girl was passing. Her tight-fitting jeans and shirt clung lovingly to a breathtaking body, the shirt riding upwards to reveal a thorny tattoo around her midriff. Smooth dark hair framed a delicately beautiful pale face. Her piercing and tattoos gave off an air of toughness, but Ryan also thought he detected a hint of vulnerability, even fragility in that lost blue gaze.

He had been admiring the new girl too long without responding to Michelle's comment. Irritated, Michelle stepped up the attack.

"And those piercings. What kind of headcase does that to themselves?"

The new girl had definitely heard that -she paused momentarily. Ryan came lithely to his feet, giving Michelle an exasperated look, and approached the new girl.

"I like your piercing," he said. He couldn't let Michelle's rudeness sour this girl's first day at the school.

"There she goes. See what I mean, Ryan? Real weirdo".

Yeah Ryan, thought Roxi as she continued walking, ignoring about the 100th jibe of the day, look at the freak, everyone laugh or something.

It was right after school and Roxi was walking back to her car, a Pontiac G6 that she had paid for with her own money by working in her old hometown. The jibes hadn't stopped all day, she'd heard the word freak too many times to count. Did she really look that different from everyone else? She glanced around and saw nothing but preppy clothes and some country styles thrown in... nothing quiet as daring as what she was wearing. Yeah, she supposed she did look different.

Apparently Ryan didn't have anything to say though, or he didn't say it loud enough for Roxi to hear, because she heard no response. What she did hear was another snide comment from the perky cheerleader.

"And those piercings. What kind of headcase does that to themselves?"

That's it, Roxi thought as she stopped and turned to face the girl, her mouth opening to lash out at her.

"I like your piercing".

These words came from a tall, lean... gorgeous boy who had stood up from where he had been seated apparently looking at a math book.

Roxi's defense immediately went up. That was the first nice thing someone had said to her all day. And she really had a hard time believing that it was earnest.

She turned a glare on the hot boy. If only he was being serious... he was gorgeous.

"Look, ok I get it. Everyone here has drilled in the point that I dress and look a little different. You don't have to spout off fake compliments to me. So I don't exactly fit in here? Big fucking deal. I don't need a bunch of fucking airheads in my life anyway".

Much to her embarrassment tears pricked in her eyes, but she spun and practically jogged towards her car, hopefully before the boy, who had been standing there looking dumbstruck, or anybody else, had seen the tears in her eyes.

She cranked the engine in the G6 and floored it out of the parking lot, cranking up her music to drown out her thoughts as she did.

 

[Maka]

Ryan was stunned. Crestfallen, he returned to where Michelle and Lee, Michelle smirking.

"See? Not just a freak but rude with it. Just ignore her from now on, Ryan. There's no point trying to be nice to people like that."

Ryan nodded reluctantly. Evidently the new girl's tattoos and piercings were just her way of trying to keep people, the way she preferred things. He wasn't going to let her miserable attitude bother him... nor her very blue eyes, her delicate good looks, the perky breasts snug under the tight shirt, the...

He shook himself, trying to get certain mouthwatering images out of his mind.


The first class next day was history. Ryan, as usual, sat with a group of friends near the middle of the room. Despite himself, he looked around for the new girl, but couldn't see her anywhere, although there were empty spaces at the back. Mr Elliot, the history teacher, was addressing the class. Something about the history term papers he was assigning them. Ryan, normally an excellent student, could not make himself concentrate. He was watching the door.

 

[play_and_ride89]

Roxi drove home and went up to her new bedroom. Her parents were still working so she had the house to herself which meant she could blare her music without disrupting them. She cranked up a favorite rock band and sat down to look over some homework she had to do already.

She remained in her room for the evening and eventually just went to bed.

The next day she wore a pair of skinny jeans and a sexy top that wasn't quite as punk-ish as the previous day's.

Again she wore her knee high black boots, this time they came up on the outside of her jeans in plain sight. She wouldn't change her style just to suit the kids in this town. She was running a little late the next day and ended up being five minutes late to her first class, history.

When she walked in the first thing she noticed was the boy named Ryan sitting in he middle of the room surrounded by kids who all seemed to dote on him.

She murmured an apology to her teacher and went and sat down a few seats back from Ryan and some of the cheerleaders who were still sneering at her. She truly didn't get it. Had shebdressed that horribly? She thought she had toned it down. Were her piercings and tattoos really that bad? .... apparently.

With a sigh she tried to focus on what the teacher was saying but her eyes kept traveling to the boy named Ryan... as if she had no control over them.

 

[Maka]

Today, the new girl was wearing a clinging black top which exposed her slim shoulders and gave more than a hint of the generous cleavage underneath.

"Getting the death-glare?", asked Michelle.

"What?"

Michelle disdainfully gestured towards the object of Ryan's attention. "She's been shooting you little glances. She think that slutty outfit's gonna make all the boys forget what a weirdo she is?"

The blonde cheerleader sniffed.

"The outfit's not that slutty," Lee objected. He looked wistful. "She could show a lot... more."

The new girl was indeed looking at him -Ryan caught one of her glances. For a moment, they both froze. Her intense blue eyes, filled with defiance, captivated Ryan. He found everything about her -her swagger, her rocker clothes and style, her looks, almost painfully desirable. He could only think of grabbing her and kissing her for a moment. But she hated him, and she'd been rude and hostile from the moment they'd met.

Mr Elliot cleared his throat.

"As I said. Please find partners for your project."

Ryan had no shortage of would-be partners, mostly girls in his clique. Even Michelle turned her eyes in his direction before Lee firmly took her arm. He was about to join with Alice, who'd been a friend since grade school, when Mr Elliot addressed him.

"Ah, Ryan. I was wondering if you'd help out by partnering up with our newcomer, Miss Andrews? I think it would be better for her to have a top-flight student like yourself in her corner."

 

[play_and_ride89]

She was trying to focus on what the teacher was saying, something about a partnered project.Wonderful, she thought. Lets see who wants to partner up with the freak.

Her eyes connected briefly with Ryan's and her heart stuttered in her chest. His gaze was intense enough to make her want to turn away, but she refused. She wouldn't back down from this guy or any other kid in this school.

Ah, Ryan. I was wondering if you'd help out by partnering up with our newcomer, Miss Andrews? I think it would be better for her to have a top-flight student like yourself in her corner.

Roxi's eye widened at the teacher's words. No way. She couldn't be partnered with him. Several of the girls in the class snickered and made faces at Ryan. Roxi's face turned red with shame and she looked down at her paper on her desk.

The teacher spoke up again.

"So everyone... go ahead and find your partners and start to plan out your project. Remember... you're going to be giving the class a CREATIVE presentation on a president whom you and your partner find interesting. I don't want any dull book reports. Come sign up with me when you decide on a president".

Roxi groaned beneath her breath and looked up to meet Ryan's eyes. Might as well get it over with. Her eyes immediately connected with Ryan's and she stood up slowly. She felt eyes all on her and forced herself not to stare at her feet. She wouldn't let them get her down.

 

[Maka]

Ryan got to his feet and walked calmly and deliberately over to the new girl. His face was calm, although his eyes burned with a dangerous intensity. She obviously didn't like him. He just had to deal with her as coolly and politely as possible, and avoid thoughts of running his hands across the silky smooth skin of her bare shoulders or seizing her head between his hands to bring him up to him for a long kiss.

"We weren't properly introduced before," he said instead, holding out his hand. "Ryan is my name."

 

[play_and_ride89]

Roxi watched warily as Ryan approached her. He was gorgeous, she thought to herself as he walked up. She wondered what he looked like without a shirt on. He obviously played some sport and she wondered which one ..


He approached her with confidence, a sort of natural swagger, it seemed. Then he introduced himself, holding out his hand. She looked at him for a few moments before finally reaching her hand out slowly.

"I learned your name yesterday," she said quietly. "I'm Roxi".

His large hand practically engulfed hers and was rough and calloused against her smooth one. It sent sensations she didn't want to feel shooting through her body and she quickly jerked her hand away.

 

[Maka]

Roxi took his hand, but afterwards drew away sharply, a flush crossing her face. Her eyes were very intent on him, Ryan matching her gaze with equal intensity. Despite his goodnatured personality, there was a kind of ferocity to his hunger when he was aroused -something Michelle, and other hopeful girls in the class, had never seen. Right now, a part of Ryan was mentally stripping Roxi of her rocker outfit, peeling those long black boots from her slim legs and ripping off her jeans and shirt.

"And what president did you have in mind?", he asked.

 

[play_and_ride89]

Roxi could see a kind of quiet ferocity lurking within those intense green eyes. She wondered what caused it to be there. She was curious about the boy period, but there was no way she would let that curiosity show. Being curious could lead to vulnerability and she couldn't show that around any of the students at this school.

"And what president did you have in mind?"

"Reagan." Roxi answered immediately. She saw Ryan's eyes kind up shoot up at her quick answer and she assumed he would want to know why. She gave a small shrug. "He was a really controversial president. And I think controversial can be kinda interesting".

Not to mention the fact that apparently you all think I'M controversial since nobody has spoken a kind word to me yet... I kinda feel a kinship with Reagan at this point in time, she thought to herself.

Her blue eyes locked with his green ones, daring him to make a comment.

 

[Maka]

"You find controversy interesting? No kidding," said Ryan, eyeing Roxi's clothes and piercings. She was meeting his gaze with a hint of defiance in her fascinating cool blue eyes. It was an unspoken challenge that Ryan could only accept.

"Reagan should be fine. Do you want to meet in the school library after class, do some preliminary research? Or is there an Alice Cooper concert you need to be at?"

The last comment just slipped out, a flirtatious edge to it.

 

[play_and_ride89]

His words grated on Roxi but she let them slip. He didn't seem the type to back down from anyone and she respected that in a person, but just because she respected that didn't mean she liked him. His mention of Alice Cooper had her back straightening and her eyes narrowing slightly, however.

"I'm more of a Metallica kinda girl" she said firmly "but I will see you in the library".

With that she spun on a booted heel and walked away, her ass swaying defiantly. She could hear a few snickers from behind her from the girls.

"Who's Metallica?"

"Obviously some freak band."

"Poor Ryan... being saddled with THAT as a partner".

"Awwww Ry I wish you were MY partner."

Roxi walked from the classroom then and headed off for the rest of her wonderful day.

 

[Maka]

Roxi's exit line drew a wave of titters from the girls in the classroom, but her exit itself inexorably drew the eyes of all the males. This was due to the sight of the mouthwatering sway of her pert, perfectly rounded ass inside those skin-tight jeans.

The rest of the day passed in something of a blur for Ryan.

The library was crowded when he arrived, at the end of the school day. A lot of people had had the same idea as the two of them. Ryan eventually located a free table, in a shadowy corner near the stacks, and started looking for books on Ronald Reagan.

Jodie, a friend of Michelle's who was also on the cheerleading squad, was sitting by the biographical section. Seeing the book he was reaching for, she grabbed it herself and passed it to him, taking her time to allow him the chance to admire the full, tanned breasts straining at her halter-top as she bent over.

Yet Ryan felt himself considerably less interested than he had been by the sight of Roxi's fully-clad rear. Jodie was cut from the same pattern as Michelle -a blonde, wholesome, all-American cheerleader. She didn't have any of Roxi's fire or imagination or well-hidden vulnerability.

"Sucks to be you, huh, Ry? Paired with that freak."

"Don't call her that," Ryan said. His voice was calm but there was a hint of steel to it.

 

[play_and_ride89]

Roxi grabbed her books as the last bell rang, and headed towards the library where she was supposed to meet Ryan. She wondered if he would actually be there.

As she walked she felt people staring at her and heard a few comments about how "slutty" she was dressed. She glanced down at her outfit in disbelief, she didn't find it slutty at all. Tight, yeah but it didn't show a whole lot or anything.

With a sigh she kept going. As she was walking down the stairs a little blonde cheerleader looking girl bumped into her, causing her to drop books everywhere.

"Oops... sorrryyyy" the girl purred and kept walking. Roxi shook her head and picked up the books, deciding not to comment because she was certain it wouldn't turn out good.

She walked to the library without any further incidents. At first she didn't see Ryan and thought maybe he hadn't come, but then she spotted him at a corner-ish table, talking to one of the cheerleaders in their class.

Great, she thought to herself as she walked over.

She didn't speak as she walked up, just sat her books down on the table.

"Look who's hear" the cheerleader purred. "Ryan I will just leave you alone to get on with your little study date. Have fun" she said with a totally false smile and walked away.

Roxi sighed. "I can ask the professor if I can work alone if you'd rather" she finally said as she looked over at Ryan, with barely contained resentment in her blue eyes.

 

[Maka]

Jodie rolled her eyes and stalked out, leaving the pair in their secluded corner. Ryan looked coolly at Roxi, holding her gaze.

"Guess the tough-chick get-up is just for show, then," he said, "If you can't handle being paired with just one jock..."

He grinned. He was searching for the flash of fire in those ethereal blue eyes, that flush across the lovely face. He didn't want her to quit -not on the project, and not on the school for that matter.

 

[play_and_ride89]

Roxi's eyes flared open.

"Excuse me?" she asked, incredulously. "I was saying that for YOUR benefit not mine. It must be rough to be paired with the freaky new kid". She shook her head.

"Look, forget I said it. Can we just do the damn project?" she asked, her eyes connecting with his.

She felt a jolt as those green eyes bore into her own. God he was gorgeous. Too bad he was just like all of the other ones in that school...

 

[Maka]

Ryan laughed.

"I don't think you're freaky. In fact, I'm looking forward to working with you."

He sat down, and gestured to the pile of books he'd gathered.

"Biographies, political histories, articles from left-wing and right-wing sources... shall we have at it?"

He could think of something else he'd rather have at with the slender and lissome Roxi, but he was trying to keep his mind out of the gutter, as difficult as it was in close proximity with that gorgeous body.

 

[play_and_ride89]

I don't think you're freaky. In fact, I'm looking forward to working with you.

Roxi wasn't sure what to say to that. She didn't know if he was teasing her or being for real. She decided to ignore the comment.

"You've already gotten a lot of materials" she commented. "I didn't mean for you to have to do so much alone."

She looked through the books and grabbed a biography.

"The professor said we have to be creative" she murmured as she glanced through it. Her eyes traveled up and connected directly with his and she lost all track of thoughts. They were so mesmerizing.

"I... uh... has anyone ever told you that your eyes are... gorgeous?" she murmured, and then blushed furiously when she noticed what she had said.

"Oh God, forget I even said that" she said, looking back down at the books and avoiding his gaze.

 

[Maka]

Ryan blinked, uncertain of his hearing for a moment. This lovely, rebellious girl was certainly full of surprises. Roxi was blushing radiantly, staring down at the books. The library was beginning to empty and their shadowy corner was quiet. Ryan loomed over the petite rocker chick.

He cupped her chin in his hand, gently but firmly lifting her gaze to meet his own.

"I'm not sure," he said quietly, staring into those luminous blue eyes. "I don't think they're as gorgeous as yours, anyway."

 

[play_and_ride89]

Roxi gazed back as Ryan cupped her chin and forced her to face him. He said he eyes were gorgeous as well and she felt her heart trip in her chest. Had he been being sierra when he had complimented her before? She wasn't so sure anymore...

She cleared her throat gently and pulled her chin from his grasp. "Thanks" she murmured softly. Finally she gathered up her courage and looked at him again. A straight shooter, she decoded to ask him outright.

"Were you being sarcastic the other day when you said you liked the way I look?" She asked in a strong voice.

 

[Maka]

"Oh yes," said Ryan, quietly and calmly. He looked her up and down levelly, his lust all contained within him. "I think you're gorgeous and I like that you don't dress to please anyone but yourself."

He leaned forward, a teasing, challenging smile on his lips.

"What are you gonna do about it?"
