The Halfway Group (book 1)

Chapter 1: Haley's Bizzare Day

Haleys POV:

God Mr. Jefferson can drawl on and on. He really loves his lectures. I'm so glad we have another hour left of class before I can head to my dorm and chill with Rachel.

"So class, as I was saying, Ms. Caufield has once again answered a question correctly. We need to be paying more attention. I know more than one of us knows the answer." Mr. Jefferson was walking back towards his desk when someone knocked on the class door, "This must be our new Teaching assistant." As he opens the door and welcomes the new person into the room, the new person looks very familiar...

Where do I know him from? He looks so familiar.

This new guy, had jet black dyed hair, a Slipknot shirt, some basketball shorts and converse.

Why do I know this kid?

"Okay Class, please welcome Jimmy Carswell. Our new TA. I'm sure you'll all welcome him since you all have personality, Haley, I believe you know this young man."

I froze in my seat as I looked at my brother... I haven't seen him since dad said I got accepted to Blackwell, oh god I missed him.

"Uh yeah Mr. Jefferson he's my brother." As Jimmy turned to face the class the scar visible under his right eye was faded now, but just barely, the scar from his bad fight with dad... and he won, dad had come home drunk and started wailing on him snd Jimmy smashed a beer bottle on his head and dad threw a shard of glass at him and sliced right under his eye. A permanent scar now on his face.

"Hi Haley, it's been too long." He walks to my table and hugs me. As I hug him back, I can hear Victoria stifle a snort. I really hate that bitch.

"Mr. Carswell would you like to sit next to Ms. Caufield and Ms. Amber?" Mr. Jefferson motions to the back, "You can monitor from.the back as I do from the front."

Why the fuck is Jimmy here? Last I knew dad wouldn't let him leave our old school district unless.... did dad send him away?

"Rachel and Max, can you both explain to Jimmy what we have been discussing? The rest of you turn your books to page 334 and follow along."

"So your name is Jimmy? You are kinda cute." Rachel says to him as I throw up a little in my mouth. My best friend flirting with my brother. Gross.

"Yeah, and you must be Rachel? And you are Max." He says pointing his finger at each respectively. Max smiles sweetly, I love Max, she's such a sweet girl. But Rachel, oh shit she will tear him apart.

Why does Rachel keep flirting? He's only been here 5 minutes and Rachel is already trying to get in his pants. I hope chloe isn't the same way. Rachel is really hot but Chloe is just as sexy, after what happened at Nathans party a few months back me and Chloe have actually been closer.

"Rachel, would you mind showing me around after class? I'm new here, I'm attending classes, but this period is my TA period." Jimmy says as I swear he's flirting back.

So help me god, I will beat them both lifeless. Jimmy deserves to warm up to Blackwell first but Rachel wants to get in his pants first thing and he's reciprocating it. Ewwww.

Finally the bell rings and I dash outside and stand by the door. As Jimmy and Rachel come out I grab him by the back of his neck and pull him back towards the lockers. "What are you doing here?" He gently removes my hand and places it by my side nice and neat, so I smacked him.

"Ah Haley, didn't you miss me? But dad sent me here.... we would have ended up killing eachother if he didnt... thanks to stepcunt."

I laughed, I always loved his nickname for our stepmom, she isn't the nicest and Jimmy always locked horns with her. I missed having him around. He's such a sweetheart and protects me "I'm sorry to hear that bubby, but you'll like it here, you'll be safe from dad. I won't let him near you. You need to come have Dinner with us tonight! Rachel and I and our friend Chloe. I want you to be welcomed properly." I see a smile spread on his face,

"After dinner me and Rachel are gonna go see a movie. She wants to go see the new Rob Zombie movie."

She hates horror movies. What's she playing at?

I pull my hair back into a messy bun as I walk back to my dorm with Rachel as she keeps going on and on about my brother. "Haley, he's so hot, like super hot, I hope Dana doesn't try anything he's already mine."

"Rachel, can you cool it about my brother? He's my brother so I don't think he is hot." I say as I glare at her.

"I'm thinking about dying my hair a sliver of pink like yours, he told me he likes my shoes and my style so that's something right?" She says as I start getting slightly annoyed.

"Come on Rachel, let's get ready to go. Jimmy is coming to dinner with us, so please, you and Chloe need to be on your best behaviors."

"Sure thing Haley, oh my god I'm gonna look so cute for him tonight." Rachel just won't shut up about him. I'm gonna smack her one of these days. But this is pretty much been my day. Brother I haven't seen in forever comes back, my best friend instantly wants to bang him. Oh dear lord help my poor soul.
