I wake up early before Beckett gets to my room and get dressed in my sweats deciding to head out to the track for a run before breakfast. I run a good five laps before I'm sweating and decide to head back to my dorm for a quick shower.

I get to my room just as Beckett's lifting his hand to knock and I grin.

"hey!"

He jumps turning around his eyes widen making me chuckle.

He lifts a brow.

"your awake? What's going on?"

I roll my eyes.

"don't be an ass I went for a run"

He chuckles.

"at what time? I didn't think you could even wake up to an alarm clock"

I shake my head.

"yeah yeah"

I unlock my dorm and step instead nodding for him to come in.

"I gotta shower and then we can go down"

He nods slowly checking his watch.

"make it fast"

I nod grabbing my uniform pants and a pair of boxers.

"Will do "

He pauses as I head to the bathroom biting his lip looking around as if realizing he'll be alone in my room while I shower.

"oh...you can meet me down there? I don't have to wait.."

I shrug.

"whatever go down if you want"

He looks conflicted at my answer and I roll my eyes.

"it'll take me five minutes"

Still looking unsure he nods "okay"

I head into the bathroom and shower quickly trying not to think about what I said last night. Calling Beckett baby was unplanned, unexpected, and not something I want to address.

I climb out of the shower, putting my boxers and pants on before using my towel and drying my hair. I open the bathroom door and Beckett jumps up from where he's sitting on my bed and his mouth falls open slightly. He quickly snaps it shut and swallows making me smirk.

"you ready?"

He nods and I pull a shirt over my head.

"okay let's good"

He lifts a brow having now composed himself.

"tie"

I roll my eyes "fine"

I grab a tie hanging over my neck and Beckett bites his lip.

"do you want me to??"

I shake my head.

"no I'm not going to start wearing a tie everyday"

He sighs.

"fine, but you should still learn how in case"

I open my door stepping into the hall before giving him a look.

"in case what?"

He tries to think of a response before pouting.

"it's just a good skill to have Jasper"

I roll my eyes "I'm sure it is"

We walk down to breakfast and Brody grins when we get to the table.

"hey happy to see everyone's getting along this morning"

I roll my eyes "piss off"

Hs chuckles nodding at Beckett.

"he's being sweet today"

Beckett smiles.

"a ray of sunshine this morning for sure"

Brody laughs while I grunt.

"you're both annoying"

Beckett ignores me and nods to Brody.

"anyone coming for visitors day? Lyssa?"

I lift a brow.

"Lyssa?"

Brody nods.

"my sister she's got a crush on Beckett"

I turn to Beckett who shakes his head.

"no she doesn't!"

I roll my eyes, everyone has a fucking crush on Beckett. Beckett keeps trying to defend himself.

"she's 12 and she's just a sweet girl"

Brody chuckles.

"dude she has a crush I've seen her write it in her diary, Beckett plus Alyssa all written in a big heart"

Beckett blushes and I chuckle.

"she's not the only one, Beckett's quite the ladies man"

Brody chuckles "really?"

I nod "oh for sure!"

I lower my voice slightly.

"Beth is all over him"

I chuckle as Brody nods eagerly clapping his hands.

"oh shit! I've totally noticed that"

Beckett however cringes. Brody smirks at Beckett.

"so you gonna bone her?"

Beckett's eyes widen and flicker to me for a half a second almost convincing me I imagined it before he shakes his head.

"no"

Brody lifts a brow.

"why the fuck not? She's hot"

I watch Beckett and he shrugs, I can tell he's unsure what to say.

"she's not my type"

Brody lifts a brow looking unconvinced.

"what is your type then?"

Beckett shifts awkwardly and I grin; me. I'm his type, at least I'm his dicks type.

Beckett shrugs.

"I don't know"

All of a sudden Brodys eyes widen.

"Beckett! You son of a bitch you totally have the hots for someone!"

Suddenly Derek drops down at the table.

"Beckett has the hots for who?"

Beckett's face flushes and his widen looking at me quickly before shaking his head.

"no I don't have the hots for anyone! I'm just not interested in Beth"

Brody shakes his head.

"bull shit no guys passing on Beth even just for one night unless there banging something better"

I feel my ego swell slightly at Brodys words if he's right my hand is better then Beth.

Derek laughs.

"I mean Beth is clearly interested and you used to say she was the nicest girl on the playground"

Beckett cringes "I was 6!"

He looks to Brody.

"There's not even anyone else here"

Brody lifts a brow looking around the room.

"you're right, so who back home are you in love with?"

Beckett almost chokes.

"what? Brody seriously there's nothing like that!"

Derek laughs out loud.

"I think Beckett would have better luck here!"

Brody chuckles.

"fine fine I'll believe you I'm just saying you don't pass up Beth for no reason. It's either you really like someone else or your getting something better.."

He pauses before shrugging "or both"

I turn to Beckett wondering which answer is his.

Instead he just sighs.

"maybe for most guys, but honestly Beth and I grew up together it's just not like that"

Brody chuckles waving his hands dismissively.

"I know I know I'm just fucking with you"

Beckett gives him a look and he grins putting his hands up in surrender.

"my bad, so Jasper how about you?"

I lift a brow confused.

"what about me?"

He nods towards the food line and I turn seeing Beth.

"you bang her?"

I scrunch my face up before turning back around.

"not a chance in hell"

Maybe before I met Beckett. I cringe at the thought and focus on Brody who shakes his head "you two have no taste! I get with her any day"

I chuckle.

"well you might have to marry her first she seems the type"

Brody's face falls "aw shit your probably right"

I nod standing and nudging Beckett.

"I gotta get to class see you in Auto?"

Brody nods "sure thing"

Thankfully he turns his attention to Derek and his opinion on fucking Beth so Beckett us able to stand and follow me over to the garbages just as the bell rings.

"I'll meet you at your room at three for your visitation"

I nod "sure"

He bites his lip awkwardly before walking away and I shake my head trying not to think too much about it before heading to class.

When I get in class Tim sighs.

"they haven't kicked you out yet Jasper?"

I lift a brow smirking.

"unfortunately for you Tim, no"

He rolls his eyes "hmm"

He starts teaching and I'm too exhausted to bother him. Having spent most of the night trying to decipher why I called Beckett baby and coming up with nothing. I've never call anyone baby, not even my old girlfriends. I shake my head this isn't the time or the place to evaluate my mouths freedom of speech.

The class ticks by slowly and finally I'm able to head to my next class. However, when I get there the teacher nods at me.

"Mr.Balton wants to see you in his office"

I glare "why?"

She shakes her head.

"I'm not sure sweetie just head on down"

I sigh, but do as she says and head toward the front office. When I get there a women sits at the desk and smiles.

"hi there you must be Jasper"

I nod resisting rolling my eyes at how everyone at this school just knows I'm the west side kid. She points to a chair behind me.

"please have a seat"

I walk over, but end up at standing next to the chair waiting. Shortly after The door across from me opens and Mr.Balton calls me in.

"hey Jasper!"

I walk over and he grins.

"c'mon in"

As I walk through the doorway he steps back revealing his office and I nod.

"so what'd I do wrong?"

He chuckles shaking his head.

"no no you didn't do anything wrong I just wanted to have you come down here and make sure you knew everything regarding visitors day! Since it's your first one here"

I roll my eyes.

"isn't that what Beckett's for?"

He nods.

"yes of course and I take it he's been doing a good job?"

I shrug "sure"

He nods.

"great. So visitors day, up to five people can visit. We try to keep mainly family members and close friends"

I nod "okay"

He leans against his desk.

"no inappropriate behaviours or people will be prohibited"

I nod "whatever"

He sighs unhappy with my answer.

"Jasper I'm being serious, if Beckett tells me you broke any of the rules you'll have two strikes"

I roll my eyes.

"okay, only my sister is coming, can I go now?"

I'm annoyed with this guys attitude and the way he assumes my friends will be "inappropriate".

He nods slowly "you can go"

I nod and stand heading toward the the door, but he speaks again.

"Jasper?"

I turn and he nods.

"are you and Beckett getting along?"

I lift a brow crossing my arms.

"yeah, why?"

He shakes his head as if dismissing it.

"I had a request to switch mentors, I didn't see any reason to, but I thought I'd ask"

My face hardens fucking Freddie.

"Beckett's fine"

He nods.

"okay I'm happy you're both getting along, go straight back to class okay?"

I nod "will do"

I leave his office and barely get out of the main office before Beckett turns down the hall. His eyes land on me and immediately widen, the way he speeds up makes me chuckle.

"it's fine"

He lifts a brow.

"you were in the office!?"

I nod "yup"

He narrows his eyes.

"why?! I swear if you fought Freddie"

I roll my eyes.

"Chill, I didn't fight your fucking ex boyfriend okay?"

He glares.

"he's not my...don't say that!"

I sigh.

"just calm down Mr.Balton wanted to talk to me about visitors day"

He pauses.

"oh..is that all?"

I roll my eyes.

"nah 'someone' made a request for a mentor change"

His eyes widen before his face falls slightly.

"a are they..switching us?"

The urge to kiss him hits me like a ton of bricks when he mumbles the way he does genuinely worried he'll lose me as a mentee.

I bite my lip trying to control myself.

"no. I told him you're fine"

He looks at me and looks unsure.

"if you don't start behaving they might"

He looks anxious and his foot starts tapping the ground.

"or your grades? I haven't even...what do your grades look like?! If those aren't good.."

I sigh.

"Beckett. Enough. They're not going to switch us okay? My grades are fine"

He bites his lip as if he doesn't believe me.

"o okay"

I nod and step closer to him smirking.

"don't worry even if they did I'd still make time for your dick in my hand"

His cheeks flare.

"shh that's not...I didn't mean.."

I chuckle.

"You can't say you wouldn't miss it"

He bites his lips before parting them slowly as if to say something else, but quickly snaps them shut again.

"you need to get to class?"

I nod "yeah"

His eyes widen.

"we'll go then! I can't make you late"

I chuckle "that's not what you said last time"

He narrows his eyes.

"Jasper go to class please"

I roll mine back at him.

"yeah yeah"

When I get back to class it's almost lunch and I grin happy to have missed most of the period. The bell rings and I head down to the dining hall sitting down in my usual seat. Brody drops down across from me a few minutes later and nods.

"hey"

He leans forward on the table and I lift a brow as he lowers his voice.

"do you think Beckett's gay?"

My eyes widen "what?"

He chuckles.

"I don't know I was just thinking the man wasn't interested in Beth and that's gotta say something"

I lift a brow "does it?"

He chuckles.

"I mean I don't know... he just seemed really against it"

I shrug "maybe there's some bad blood there"

He makes a face considering it.

"maybe..I don't know man. I wouldn't care either way"

I nod changing the topic.

"cool, so this day trip shit what's the situation?"

He chuckles.

"we usually go to random places the beach, the arcade, the mall sometimes it's just so they can say they take us to do stuff"

He nods continuing.

""the beach isn't bad though, we just hangout swim beach volleyball"

I lift a brow.

"so we prance around in this fucking uniforms at the beach?"

Brody howls.

"hell no! They let us wear are own close for outings"

I nod.

"thank fuck I was not about to look like a fucking Boy Scout"

Suddenly someone sits down next to me and grunts.

"watch your profanities"

I turn the side of my mouth unintentionally twisting up when I see it's Beckett.

"whatever"

He rolls his eyes, but turns to Brody who is greeting Derek.

"what are we talking about?"

Brody shrugs.

"the outing on Saturday"

Beckett nods.

"oh yeah that should be fun for you guys"

Brody lifts a brow.

"just us? Your coming too aren't you? You came last time"

Beckett shrugs "I am probably, the beach this time?"

Derek rolls his eyes.

"Yes the beach, and you're going. No way I'm stuck with these two alone"

Beckett shrugs.

"I'll just have to see what I have to wear I wasn't planning on going to the beach"

Brody lifts a brow.

"don't you live in Manning Heights?"

Beckett nods slowly.

"I do"

Brody lifts a brow.

"so why not just run home and grab something that's like a ten minute drive from here"

Beckett shifts uncomfortably and Derek makes a sour face.

"I wouldn't want to waste the time, I'm sure I have something"

Brody shrugs.

"well if you don't you can borrow something I don't want to hangout with just the rest of these losers"

Beckett chuckles, but I notice he's still tense since Brody mentioned him going home. I also didn't like Brody offering Beckett something to wear, but I don't comment on it. Instead I look at Brody.

"calling me a loser?"

He chuckles.

"nah man I meant the rest of these fools"

I chuckle.

"alright I gotta get to class"

Brody jumps up.

"oh shit I didn't even realize the time!"

I nod and stand waiting for Beckett to stand with me before heading toward the garbage and then the hall turning to him.

"if you can't find something to wear.."

I trial off and he makes a face.

"Brody just said"

I glare.

"don't wear Brody's clothes"

He gives me a look and his cheeks tinge pink, but he nods slowly.

"okay...I'll find something"

I nod and head to class.
