"So, what movie are we watching?" asked Dylan. Everyone was so quiet. Kate obviously had no intention of talking to her. Pogue looked uncomfortable, mainly for the fat that he and Dylan hadn't spoken in two years now. It was even surprising that Reid still didn't acknowledge her presence.

"Funny Games U.S" answered Pogue. Dylan's eyes widened in awe.

"Oh my gosh!" exclaimed Dylan. "That's not even in theaters yet? How'd you manage to get that?"

"It's Reid's," answered Pogue. "He always brings a new movie every time. It's like we don't even have to go to the movies anymore." Reid just shrugged while his eyes were still glued to the screen. Dylan couldn't even understand why Reid was acting this way. Was he really that mad at her for rejecting him?

"Reid," said Dylan. "Where'd you get the movies?" Dylan didn't know why she spoke to him but she was beginning to get annoyed at his indifference.

"Cousin works at a screening house." Reid answered curtly. He didn't even look at her when he said that. Dylan nodded even though Reid couldn't see. Just then Caleb, Tyler and Sarah walked in bringing drinks and three big bowls of popcorn.

"You guys getting along great?" asked Sarah. Everyone just nodded quietly. Tyler sat on the chair next to Dylan and smiled at her while Caleb and Sarah sat on the floor. Reid glared at Tyler but nobody saw him. The movie was scary, but fun to watch. Everyone was quiet except for the occasional gasps and whimpers from the girls. They finished the movie but it was still early.

"So what do you guys wanna do?" asked Caleb.

"Let's play guitar hero," suggested Tyler. "Let's see if Dylan here knows how to rock out on a plastic guitar." Reid shot Tyler another look. This time Tyler saw it. He gave Reid a look that said 'What's the problem?' Reid just shrugged and walked out of the room.

"What's his damage?" asked Tyler. Nobody knew why but knew well enough to leave Reid alone when he's in a bad mood. Dylan saw something was wrong with him so she excused herself from the group. She went outside and saw Reid smoking a cigarette.

"Hey there," said Dylan. Reid jumped at the sound of her voice.

"What are you doing out here?" asked Reid ominously.

"Nothing. I just needed to get some air." Dylan lied. Why was she here? Did she really hope to gain something from this besides being told off?

"The air here happens to be polluted." Reid stated dryly.

"I'd be a hypocrite if I agreed with you." Dylan replied coolly. "Marlboro Green lights, what's your lung poison?" She took out a stick from her purse and lit it with her personalized lighter. Reid looked up at her and grinned.

"Same here." Reid answered as he smirked. So they do have something in common? They stood quietly, breathing in each other's toxic breaths.

"Why are you avoiding me?" asked Dylan bluntly. She didn't even understand why she asked that. She must have sounded pathetic.

"Your attitude towards me leaves me no choice but to do so." Reid answered casually. Dylan had no idea what to say after that. It was true, but why is she here now questioning what she wanted in the first place?

"I guess you're right." Replied Dylan. What else was there to say? Stop ignoring me Reid because every time you do my heart breaks? What? She did not just think that. Did she?

"Now may I ask," started Reid. "Why do you care if I do?" Dylan was at a loss for words. Right now she didn't even know if she wanted him to avoid her.

"Hmm.. Is it because you've changed your mind about me?" Reid asked smugly. There was the Reid Garwin she used to know.

"Unlikely." answered Dylan quickly. Reid just shook his head put out his cigarette and went inside. Dylan stood there dumbfounded at her new realizations. She liked Reid Garwin. How the hell did this happen?

Sarah saw Reid walk in the front door and Dylan followed shortly after. Reid looked depressed while Dylan looked a bit unnerved. What the hell did Reid do now? Dylan walked over to her.

"I think I'm gonna go," Dylan said quietly.

"Why? What did Reid do to you?" Sarah demanded. This time Reid has gone too far. It's one thing to mess with girls that Sarah didn't know but it was another for him to screw up her friend.

"Oh, no. It's not him." Dylan assured her. "It's just me. I'm feeling a bit under the weather." Sarah didn't believe her for a second but thought that if Dylan didn't want to talk about it then she'll let her be.

"Okay, I'll see you at practice tomorrow then," said Sarah. She felt bad for Dylan for whatever it was that Reid did to her.

"Uhm, could you tell the guys I left? And please thank Caleb for me, I just need to go now." Sarah nodded and walked her to the door. Dylan drove off not knowing where to go. She didn't want to stay at the dorms or even go anywhere in public. She just wanted to drive and dwell in her thoughts. She had to figure out what she wanted.

-

"What did you do, Reid?" Sarah asked angrily. "She left right after I saw you two walk in! Is it not possible for you not to hurt any girl within five feet of you?" The others were looking down at Reid as well. It was typical of Reid to do this every now and then. This time was different because Dylan had somehow become Sarah's friend.

"I didn't do anything to her!" Reid countered. "She's the one who said she didn't like me!" Sarah calmed down a little. Why would Dylan be upset if she was the one who told Reid she didn't like him?

"Well, you did something to her." said Tyler. "Otherwise she wouldn't have left so abruptly, now won't she?" He wasn't as angry as Sarah but his voice reeked of disappointment.

"She must be PMSing," retorted Reid. "Because I didn't do shit to her!" Sarah sighed in defeat. Maybe Reid was telling the truth. She had no idea what to think now. Dylan was known for being temperamental. Maybe this was just one of her mood swings.
