Wolf among the lambs (Xavier, any cheerleaders)

[Haley Rowan]

Haley did not miss the look on Tyler's face. She was no stranger to guys checking her out, but she also did not call attention to it. Why would she, she was happy with Cam and again Tyler, although nice to look at was not her type in the least. He was too jock like and popular for her. At least thats how he looked. Haley hated to judge someone based on looks, and to be honest just the way he was offering to do a guys night with Cam made Haley smile and pray she was right and he was a decent guy. Haley smiled as Bree walked over, "Oh thats a nice place for their guys night. Maybe we can have a girls night when they have a guy's night."

Haley thought the idea was a good one. She listened as Cam asked about their plans. She smiled and took a step. Haley sat down on Cam's lap and smiled. "Just say we do have plans. I would rather not say them out loud though." She smiled at him and winked. She hoped he understood, but then again this was Cam so he might not. Just one of the many things to admire. Haley was getting use to being different, but she also knew she still had a reputation to worry about. Cheerleaders did not date guys like Cam unless they were using them, which she was not. She actually liked Cam, but still, that was one of her motives for getting him into the popular crowd.

"It really was nice to meet you Tyler. We will have to talk again, all of us I mean. I hate when I meet people and then never talk to them again, almost makes me feel a tad mean and rude you know." She really meant that. She would not mind talking to Bree, or Tyler again. She liked making friend and both were in her crowd. So why not. Haley wondered if Cam would invite anyone to the guys night. She was curious. "Bree we will have to practice the cheer again, its really good. Gould has style that for sure." she smiled running her fingers through Cam's hair. Haley knew people might not understand why she was with Cam, and yes she did care about what others thought, but she could not just ignore Cam. That was rude and mean and Cam was so fragile. Haley smiled and looked from Bree to Tyler once more.

[Bree Marcus]

Bree leaned against Tyler, feeling a little weary. The altercation with Xavier had taken more energy than the practice had since she had a hard time with confrontation. "I would love to go out tonight Tyler, but I would need to stop at home first and clean up."

She smiled warmly at Haley at the girls night suggestion. "The hotel has a small spa I could set aside for us. We could even invite one of those lingerie party ladies in, so we could play dress up. We can just tell catering what kind of food we want, it would be really easy and fun I think," she said, going into planning mode. You could almost imagine wheels turning in her brain. Parties were something she was born to do. If she ever lost all her money, she would cater events and make it all back under the sweat of her own brow.

Bree was really glad that Haley seemed to appreciate Cam and treated him well. She hadn't known him long but could tell he was really special and it was obvious he loved Haley wholeheartedly. He was even planning on ditching MIT so he could be close to her. To her that was devotion. "Maybe we could go on a double-date sometime as long as Maggy is still being generous enough to share Tyler," she suggested.

[Tyler Durnham]

It was pretty obvious to Tyler, had to be to everyone he figured, what Haley’s plans for her and Cam’s night were. That guy was very lucky indeed. Tyler would be more than happy to step in for him, he had a feeling the cute blonde was a wild one in bed. All cheerleaders happened to be rather talented in that department, he found from experience. Must have something to do with all that energy and flexibility. “Don’t worry Haley, if you snub Bree and I after today, I’ll be sure to glare at you accordingly.” he teased.

But he had another cheerleader already vying for his attention, Tyler moving his arm around Bree’s waist without giving it a second thought. They could have worked, as a couple, if Bree was as focused on sex as he was, and Tyler as genuine about relationships as most other people. But both were impossibilities, at least for the foreseeable future, and the footballer was more than satisfied with how things were. From the women in his life, he had a close friend who he cared for and could talk to about seemingly everything, not that he was a talker, had a friend who was just as often a fun adversary, a casual date who interested him greatly, and a whole bevy of beauties who would gladly sleep with him at the drop of a hat. Things were working out very well for him.

And the girl leaning against him was looking pretty exhausted, now that he paid attention. “Well, in that case, why don’t we stay in, I’ll pick up some Thai food, meet you at your house. And don’t worry Bree, you know me, I’ll be the perfect gentleman.” he laughed, keeping her supported against him.

As much as he was looking forward to a guy’s night, Bree’s plans for a girl’s night sounded even better. “Lingerie? Dress ups? What does Cam and I have to do to swing an invite to your party ladies? Or must we crash.” Laughing, he used his free hand to run through his hair. “Don’t worry, we’ll stay clear away. At least I will, I can’t speak for Cam. We should plan both for the same night, avoid temptation. Because you ladies are just as likely to crash our party.” he decided, his eyes sparkling in amusement.

The comment about being shared made him smile, that was something he far from minded. He’d even been known to share himself with two lovely ladies at the same time. “Come now Bree, you make it sound as if she owns me.” he joked. “You know I’m my own man. I’m sure she can make do without me for a night. A...double date sounds good.” He wondered just how that would work, given one of the couples was not a couple at all. But it could be fun, nevertheless.

[Cameron Whitlock III]

Cameron nodded about the guys night. "Sure," he said, "just let me know when." He was still a bit nervous about the whole thing but it was something that had to be done. After all, Haley was popular and maybe she was okay with him being a nerd but it was only a matter of time before she got sick of that...or at least in his mind it was. If he wanted to keep Haley, he would have to raise his own social standing and he knew Tyler could help that. Sure, Tyler went to Gould and Cam to Silver but the two schools seemed to be merging more and more and if he was accepted by Gould's in crowd, it was only a matter of time before the Silver kids followed suite and started accepting him.

Cam couldn't help but blush a little when Haley mentioned their plans for that night. He was still new to the whole having sex thing and while he really really liked doing it, it was still a bit embarrassing for him to talk about. "Okay," he said quietly, as he twirled a strand of Haley's hair. He waited and let her plan her girl's event with Bree thinking it was good that the two of them were becoming friends. Bree seemed really nice and already seemed to accept him for the dork he was so that was always a good thing. Cam knew very well that the majority of the girls that Haley hung out with didn't exactly think he was worth their time.

But the whole time everyone talked, Cam's mind was obviously on one thing. One very specific thing that involved his plans with Haley once they left school. Once their plans seemed to be all set Cam smiled, "Yeah, double date sounds good--and guy's night. Just let me know when," he said, knowing he often had a lot to do but it was easy to reschedule and move things around--he'd become and expert at it since he started dating Haley. "Anyway, we should probably head out," he said, getting up slowly so Haley had a chance to get up first before he stood. "But it was nice seeing you again, Bree, and really nice meeting you, Tyler," he said politely. "If I don't see you guys before that, I'll probably see you at the brunch," he said with a smile, taking Haley's hand and stepping down to the lower bleacher, although he did linger there a moment so Haley could say her goodbyes before they headed out.
