#And if I heard correctly some people got their copies on September 1st

With how early some people got their physical preorders of RF3S, I can only hope a similar situation might happen with Silent Hope next month.

September 1st 1990

“Alright class, settle down.”

Tables sat in single two by two rows, not one single seat was empty. Richie Tozier sat in the far right corner, he liked sitting in the back, no one paid much attention to him if he did. Another boy sat beside him clearly not interested in this class either. Every kid had dreaded the first day of school, they were placed in the same building with the same people for another 180 days of hell. The boy’s eyes dilated to his surroundings, bottles and huge file cabinets boxxed him in. The bright LED lights buzzed overhead him.

“I know all of you guys are very excited for this class and I hope you are all prepared. We have a long list of activities we have to get done before the end of this quarter. Hopefully some of you will enjoy them.” the class groaned. The teacher, who had yet to introduce himself, nodded. Just as he suspected everyone didn’t want to be here, it added to the enthusiasm of teaching.

He waved the chatter away, “Ok, I’m Mr.Leachermen or just call me Mr.L.” Few kids laughed at the long name and Mr.L gave out a soft sigh, another fabulous year is bright ahead and it’s only the first period.

“Our lessons are split into four quarters, you will have an assessment on all the topics covered at the end of every one. Be prepared because I know handfuls of students who don’t bother studying, yet it’s a fifth of your grade.” Students stared at him with beady eyes, none of them had names to him, just kids. In the back of his mind a seating chart was beginning to form.

He wiped his nearly bald head as the sun was beating down from the half covered windows, ”Our first two quarters will be extremely math heavy and if anyone has trouble with that kind of stuff I suggest coming in early for help.” One or two kids wrote down a mental note and Mr. L grab a few note cards and a pile of papers to hand out. He began to hand one out to each student.

      Lab Safety Rules   

If a fire erupts notify the teacher immediately.

Eye protection MUST be worn any time chemicals, heat, or glassware is used.

Ask the teacher if you don’t understand a direction, or any part of the laboratory procedures.

After completing an experiment, all chemical waste should be disposed of according to your teacher’s directions.

If you are injured during a lab (cut, burn, etc.) you should tell a teacher immediately. 

 Long hair in the laboratory must be tied back or kept entirely out of the way with a hair band, etc. 

Loose clothing, dangling jewelry, and sandals are not to be worn during lab activity. 

Horseplay, practical jokes, or pranks in the classroom are always against the rules. 

If a piece of equipment is not working tell the teacher.

You should always wash your hands with soap and water.

Eating and chewing gum are not permitted in the lab.

Always raise your hand when wanting to speak in class.

No drinking in class.

No water or drinking in class.

If you are late more than three times disciplinarian action will be enforced.

The tired teens glanced over the paper as their teacher went over the basic rules, he wanted to make an emphasis on how they should not be broken under any circumstances. 

“If anyone does continuously break these laws I will be executing detentions for each problem, if it manages to get any worse parental contact will be a factor.”

This part perked Richie’s ears, he loved to be a class clown and this might be his chance.

“You will be given a 22 point quiz on this topic, but it’s extremely easy so I wouldn’t worry about it. Other topics we’ll be covering this unit is Bohr Models, balancing equations, and the periodic table of elements.” Blank stares were the only exchange between the pupils. Mr. L has no idea what to do, the first day was always a pain in the ass.

He sighed, “Since we’re not getting anything done today I’ll be assigning lab partners.” This seemed to get the majority of the class interested. Some kids looked around for someone they knew, but for most, they were screwed.

The teacher grabbed the attendance list, ”I’ll just spitball some random names. Everyone please grab your things and stand in the front of the class.” The kids shuffled up and piled in the front.

“Ok at this first table Marcus K. and Tida M.” Two kids pushed through the abundance of others and sat uncomfortably next to each other. Mr. L kept assigning pairs, Richie awkwardly stood in the middle of all of it, oblivious to what was going on around him, until he heard his name.

“Richie Tozier and Y/N L/N over hear in the left corner.” A girl emerged from beside him, Richie had never seen her before, he followed behind. Near the back was their table. A small bucket of water sat by a table leg. Both of them exchanged a stare and sat down. Sooner or later Mr. L had sat the entire class out. 

He took a swig of coffee and sleepily looked around, “There isn’t anything else planned for today, talk amongst your partners.” It was quiet for awhile before the chatter began.

“Hi, I’m Richie.” He turned to his partner for a better look.

She glanced back at him, “I know,” she laughed breathlessly, “I’m Y/N.”

They just looked at each other, not knowing what to talk about. 

“So, you liking the weather today?” Richie scratched the back of his neck. He couldn’t crack out any jokes just yet.

“That’s really the first thing you thought to ask?”

“I dunno, what do you want to talk about?”

“You got me there, any insights on this idiotic class?”

“Not liking it so far, but I have an idea to make it a bit more enjoyable…”

She tilted her head, “You better have a really good idea to make this ‘enjoyable.’

“I think it’s good, I’m going to break every rule this year.”

“I’d like to see you try, Tozier.”

“Does everyone have their goggles on?”

The class let out a few murmurs of the word ‘yes.’ The multi-colored goggles were slapped onto their faces and would leave a harsh imprint by the time they were done.

Richie leaned over to his partner, “I’m going to break the first rule.”

Her eyes went wider, “How are you going to set something on fire without anyone noticing?”

“No idea.”

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

“Everyone turn on the burner in front of them and grab the cotton swab labeled magnesium. If this is done correctly the flame should be turned into a different, bright color.”

Richie grabbed a sheet of Claim, Evidence, and Reasoning notes and through his copy of the Science Safety Rules at Y/N. She held onto it underneath the table. His hand shakily turned on the micro burner and slid the paper underneath. The flame caught on and smoke began to rise. Y/N quickly drew a line through rule Number One. Unbenounced to the entire room this small flame triggered the fire alarms. The loud ringing caught everyone’s ears and Richie threw the paper onto the ground and hit it as much as he could with his foot. It went out as the class began filing out.

They weren't caught.

December 13th 1990

“Which rule are we breaking today my good sir?” Y/N curtsied at her close friend. As the year went on the two grew closer and closer. He introduced her to the rest of the Losers Club and Y/N and Stanley began to bond. 

Richie pondered and pulled the rule sheet out of the pocket of his oversized pants, “How about Number 11?”

She nodded, “Do you have any gum?”

“You know it!” He grabbed some spearmint gum and plopped it in his mouth. Richie made sure to make it completely obvious that he had gum. The two walked to class and the boy blew loud bubbles right in front of everyone. He got sent some weird glares, the student body knew about the strict gum rule and knew what was coming at Richie. He hid it as they walked into the classroom and the two giggled as they made their way to their desks.

Mr.L began to teach and Richie started chewing and blowing bubbles. Two or three people turned around, so, of course, he began to do it worse. Over and over again until it disrupted the entire class.

“Mr. Tozier, go spit out the gum and fill out a slip for detention, you know the rules. Watch it.” The class gave out melodic sets of ‘ooohs.’ Rich nodded and got up to do as he was told. When he walked by Y/N his whispered in her ear.

“Hey Y/N, want to see a movie after my detention?”

She stopped jotting down notes and looked up, “A date?” 

“A date.”

“Meet you here at 5.”

“I think we’re gonna do Number 16 today, you’ve been late two times this week. Why not push it to one more?”

Richie grinned, “That sounds perfect N/N.”

“Don’t call me that. I hate it when you call me that. Just go hide in the bathroom, this is going to be good.” Richie skipped away and the girl walked alone to her first period class. Everything went swimmingly, final exams were approaching and a study period was beginning. Around 20 minutes later Richie comes in whistling throwing a rubber ball on the ground. Everyone turned to look at him as he signed the late book, as he broke the final rule. He did it.

~**~ Blog Tour for Exes With Benefits by Nicole Williams w/ Excerpt & Review ~**~

***He wants a second chance. I want a divorce. To get what I want, I’ll have to give him what he does.***

From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Nicole Williams:

The only benefit I want from my ex is a divorce.

We got married for all the wrong reasons. The one thing we got right was our separation. I should have known better than to think I could bet on forever with a guy like Canaan Ford. Everything about him screamed impermanent, from his wild eyes to his restless soul.

When I left him and the small town I’d spent my whole life in, I swore I’d never go back. Never only turned out to be five years. Canaan claims he’s changed, but he hasn’t—same knowing smile, same rough demeanor, same body crafted from sin and sinew. And yet, something is different. He thinks this is his chance for redemption. My disagreement comes in the form of divorce papers dropped in his lap. He refuses to sign them. Unless . . .

He wants a month to prove himself to me—that’s his offer. One month to make me fall in love with him again and if I don’t, he’ll sign the papers. As much as I want to say no, I agree. I can suffer my ex for a short amount of time if that’s what it takes to be free of him once and for all. I fell for him once; I won’t make that same mistake twice.

He says we’re not over. I say we were over before we got started. Only one of us can be right, and I can’t let it be him.

“One month. That’s nothing in the scope of a person’s life.” He slid a bit closer. “One month is everything when it comes to opening myself back up to you.” He didn’t argue that. He let silence speak for him instead. “What exactly are you expecting during this one month?” I might have winced when I heard myself say those words. He rubbed his mouth, trying to hide whatever was trying to form. “For you to give me another chance. For you to be my wife.” The term made me nauseated. “Your wife? As in your indentured servant? No way.” It was a smile he was trying to hide. Not very successfully. It made me thankful I’d slipped into these old boots so I could give him a solid kick in the ass if necessary. “Like be willing to spend time with me. That’s it. That’s all,” he added when he correctly interpreted the question in my eyes. The question. “What will we be doing during that time we’re spending together?” I pulled at the chest of my dress when I noticed the way his gaze had lingered there a moment too long. His shoulder rose. “Got any ideas?” There was an unmistakable glint in his eyes. “No,” I answered instantly. “You used to have plenty of ideas for filling the time.” He took a swig of his Coke. “And then I learned how to use my brain.” He studied my fake smile, almost like he was contemplating what it would feel like against his mouth. “Dinners. Dates. Simple stuff like that.” I held my best poker face, considering his offer. I didn’t want to stay married to him. If one more month was what it took to be free of Canaan Ford, I could suck it up. I’d already made it five years. “No expectations of anything of a physical nature?” “If I remember right”—his eyes narrowed as he rubbed the back of his head—“it was generally you who instigated all of that back then.” I shoved his chest. Bad idea. Solid. Firm. Home. My jaw ground as I worked to erase that word from my conscious where he was concerned. “And you were just the perfect gentleman.” Canaan snatched my hand before I could pull it away. Holding onto it, he dragged me closer. Not so close that our bodies touched, but close enough the separation was painful. “Exactly,” he said in that low voice of his. The one he’d whispered my name in so many times as he moved inside me. “A gentleman gives his woman exactly what she needs. As many times as she need it. Just doing my part.” “How noble.” “That’s right. So if you want to make any changes to this one month agreement, consider me your humble servant.” When his hand dropped to my waist, his touch hesitant at the same time it was insistent, I didn’t flinch out of instinct the way I should have. Instead, I had to remind myself to pull away from him; to flinch at his touch. “I have a boyfriend, Canaan.” Even to my ears, it sounded like a weak protest. His hand didn’t fall away when I stepped back. “You’re a married woman, Maggie.” “My husband forfeited his rights years ago.” My eyes found his, expecting them to shoot away once mine made contact. They didn’t. His gold eyes held to mine. “He’s here to reclaim them.”

***4 Stars***

I knew going into this book that it would be one of those that would give me a lovely case of whiplash and or sore eyes from all the rolling and I was spot on. Canaan and Maggie’s second chance romance did a number on me in the frustration/irritation department, but mixed in with that was a lot of heart and sweetness and my curiosity as what it would take for Maggie to crack kept me turning the pages until the very end.

Canaan and Maggie took me on a roller coaster of a ride with their journey. I didn’t necessarily flip flop over whose team I was on because they both contributed to the demise of their marriage as well as their five year separation. I was equally on both teams because what I saw were two people who were still in love with each other and needed to confront and come clean about what tore them apart the first time and see if they could work past it. It was a long and somewhat frustrating road and yet satisfying as they both finally give each other what they’ve always needed.

Exes With Benefits definitely took me on a roller coaster of a ride, but I couldn’t stop reading it, I needed to experience Canaan and Maggie’s rocky journey and find out how they’d come to their HEA because it was obvious they were always meant to be. The twists and turns were done well, some I guessed at, some I didn’t, but they all added to the journey. The solo 1st person POV was done well, but this was one of those times that I wished we got both POV’s, even if it was only for a few chapters. But in the end, this was a fun and engaging read and if you like second chance romances then definitely give this one a go.
