Scott was In the locker room changing his clothes after practice when a conversation caught his attention.
"Y/n and Sheri were kinda flirty today so we invited them to the clubhouse" said Montgomery to some other guys.
"Hey Montgomery, mind if I go?" Asked Scott.
"Yeah you should come bro" replied Montgomery.
Normally, Scott wouldn't have gone there. He didn't really like that place and the few times he'd been there, he'd end up leaving early. Besides, he had been avoiding some team members since the tapes were released. That's exactly why he didn't want to leave you both alone with these guys, he didn't trust them anymore.
He was starting to think that maybe he should get away from these 'friends' who he barely recognized and start making new ones. So, he had distanced himself a bit from the boys on the team. Not Zach, he still liked Zach.
You and Sheri stepped into the clubhouse with Montgomery guiding you. He had brought two other guys with him, one of them being Scott Reed. Clay thought he was the one leaving the Polaroids, and you really hoped he was since you felt like he was the only good jock apart from Zach.
The clubhouse was exactly how you expected it to be from what you had seen on the Polaroids. The minute you had stepped in, you started to feel uncomfortable. The only reason you were there was to find out how to sneak in with Clay and Justin to steal the box with all the Polaroids.
"Take a seat ladies" Montgomery said
Sheri sat on the couch and so did you, with Scott Reed sitting on your side. Montgomery was lighting what seemed like a cigarette but it was surely filled up with doom drug.
The door opened and Bryce came into the room. That made you feel even worse, you were wishing he wouldn't come.
"Starting the party without me?" Asked Bryce. He took the joint from Montgomery's hand and gave it to Sheri. "Wanna try it?"
"I can't, I have an exam" replied Sheri.
"Just a little, we gotta have fun, right?" Insisted Bryce.
"Okay" Sheri took the joint and started to smoke. It wasn't the first time she was doing it so it wouldn't effect He that much but if you tried it... god knows what will happen, you had never done drugs before.
"Your turn, Y/n" said Montgomery.
"No, thanks. I've never done this."
"Well, there's always a first time for everything" said Bryce.
"Yeah, c'mon it's okay."
"You'll feel much better after you try it" said the guy you didn't know.
You were about to take the joint but Scott took your hand to stop you.
"She doesn't have to do it if she doesn't want to" he said. You were honestly surprised that he was standing up for you. He was a good guy after all, you were right.
"What the hell Reed? Don't be suck a wet blanket" said Montgomery.
Scott looked angrily at him before standing up and holding your hand to make you stand up as well.
"Wanna leave, Y/n?" He said still looking at Montgomery and Bryce.
You nodded and told Sheri to get up. Scott started to walk out still holding your hand. When you were outside you took a deep breath. For a moment you had thought they'd force you to get high and then... you didn't even dare to imagine what would have happened then.
"Thank you" you said, looking at Scott. It was in that moment that he realized that he was still holding you hand and let go of it blushing.
"Why are you helping us?" Sheri asked, still not trusting the boy.
"Look, just because I play baseball with them doesn't mean I trust them" said Scott "I couldn't let them do anything to you guys" he continued while looking at you. Now it was your time to blush.
Sheri looked at the both of you suspiciously. "Well, I do have to take a test so I better leave" said Sheri. "I didn't wanna interrupt anything anyways" she whispered as she winked at you while walking away.
Okay, maybe you had a little crush Scott since freshman year and maybe Sheri had noticed it.
"So, what class do you have now?" Asked Scott.
"Math" you answered a bit confused, why would he want to know that?
"Do you want me to walk you there?" Scott said shyly, looking at the floor as his hand ran through his dirty blond hair in a nervous gesture.
"I'd love that" you said smiling.
He smiled back and you both started walking, with him reaching for your hand unconsciously again. You loved how your hand fitted in his.
