A:N// I have exactly 2 hours and 18 minutes until I'm leaving for my friends house for the night. I'm sure I can squeeze something acceptable out by then. Of course I was so tired last night that I didn't get to brain storm too much so this is all being pictured in my mind as I type. Thank you everyone for your reviews! It's seriously what keeps me updating.

Read and Review!

I stood there, still in shock. Reid Garwin had just kissed me and it hadn't been one of those 'friend' kisses that some people give it out. I could sense feeling in it. And that's what freaked me out the most.

I walked down the stairs slowly and could see Sarah and Kate talking by themselves. I wasn't sure as to where Carmen had gone off to but that was the least of my worries by this point.

"Hey guys," I said with what I could manage for a smile. My mind was still racing.

Kate and Sarah smiled. "Oh hey Callie," Kate greeted me. "Talk about drama right?" She chuckled. Apparently Kate was used to this kind of stuff.

"Yeah," I agreed. "But Dee has always been a bitch so it doesn't surprise me. What did surprise me was James. I thought he really liked Leah but apparently he's just a typical guy." They all were.

Sarah nodded and could see that I was having a hard time keeping my sentences from drifting off. "You alright?" she asked.

I nodded then shook my head no. "I don't feel very well. I think I'm tired or something," I lied but I wasn't going to tell them what had really shaken me up.

"Want us to find Tyler to take you home?" Sarah offered.

"No!" I shouted a little too loudly but it wasn't too loud considering the volume of the music.

Kate looked from Sarah then to me. "Well you can take my car back to the dorms and I'll just catch a ride with Sarah or Pogue," she offered with a shrug.

"Thanks," I said getting back into my tired expression.

Kate handed me her keys and I looped my finger through one of the holes so that I wouldn't accidentally drop them.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow or something," I said as I waved goodbye. "Oh, and could you tell Carmen that I headed home if you see her?"

They both nodded their heads and I walked away from them. I saw Reid sitting on the couch drinking his beer and talking to some girl I didn't know. He appeared somewhat aloof but my main mission was getting out of her without attracting unwanted attention. The last thing I needed was someone, like Carmen, stopping me and seeing right through my bullshit lie about how I was tired. Sometimes I hated her for knowing my moods so well.

But I did it. I got out of the party without someone seeing me. I walked over to Kate's car and got inside and left to head back towards the dorms. I did plan on going to bed when I got home because I knew that if I didn't do something to clear my head then no good would come out of it.

---Reid's POV---

Reid finished off his beer and tossed it into the trash can that Caleb had set out for people to put the cans in. He was still a little unsure as to why he had kissed Callie, but he knew that he had meant it. It was strange for him and that just made him frustrated.

He needed to talk to her but the last time he had seen her was an hour ago and he hadn't seen her since.

Reid got up from the couch and walked off to find Carmen to see if she knew where Callie was. He knew that Callie was probably with her but if she wasn't then he knew that Carmen would know.

He walked up to Carmen. "Where's Callie?" he asked.

Carmen shrugged. "I have no idea. I haven't seen her since the whole incident with Dee, James and Leah happened," she explained.

A sigh escaped his lips and he nodded his head. "Alright thanks," he said. The only people he knew that might know where she was were Sarah and Kate and he wasn't too keen on asking them.

He knew that if he asked Sarah and Kate that they would only turn it into gossip and say that he had a thing for her. So what if he did have a thing for Callie Scott? Did it really need to become the talk of the school? Couldn't he get some fucking privacy around here? Apparently not and Reid became more frustrated.

But he needed to talk to her and unless he walked around the entire house he would need to ask Kate or Sarah. What was happening to him, he had no idea.

He found Caleb and Pogue's girlfriends and walked over to them. "Do you know where Callie is?" he asked.

Kate nodded. "She took off about an hour ago," she explained. "She said she was tired so she took my car. If you see Carmen could you let her know?"

Reid took off his beanie and ran a hand through his blonde hair then put it back on. "Yeah," he agreed.

"Why do you want to know?" Sarah asked with raised eyebrows.

Reid was tired of their shit already. They were so nosy. But he put a smirk on and played along. "Why do you think?" he raised his eyebrows and walked away, letting the smirk fade away.

Reid found Tyler with Samantha. "I'm heading back. Do you think you can catch a ride with someone else?" he asked and held his hand out for the keys.

Tyler raised his eyebrows and looked confused. "Why are you heading back?" he asked.

Reid didn't reply but moved his hand slightly showing Tyler that he wasn't interested in a conversation, just his car keys.

"Fine," Tyler said with an exasperated sigh.

Reid grabbed the keys and headed out of the house and into Tyler's hummer. He wasn't sure what he was doing but he hoped that he would figure it out on the way to the dorms.

---Callie's POV---

I yawned and closed my book. I was nearly half way through The Sweet Far Thing and so far it was very good. But the book was so large that it made me not want to read it, feeling like I would never be able to finish it. But it had been a good distraction, especially after my attempt at going to sleep had failed.

I put the book on my table near by bed and just stared at the ceiling for five minutes. In the hour that I had been sitting in my room I had come up with several answers as to why Reid had kissed me. The first one was that he had been drunk and hadn't been thinking straight. The other was that he was just horny and wanted to kiss me. And the third wasn't my favorite. The third was that he actually liked me. I was hoping for one of the first two.

I got up from my bed and walked into the bathroom to throw my hair up into a messy bun on the top of my head. I had changed into my Spencer hoodie and a pair of Pink! sweatpants that were rolled up to my knees.

I walked back into the main part of our room and nearly jumped out of my skin. Reid was sitting on my bed, looking over a notebook that I had doodled on earlier that day.

"Jesus!" I screamed and my hand flew to my chest. "How did you get in here Reid?" I asked.

He looked up, not disturbed by my scream at all. "It was open," he said nonchalantly.

I leaned against the doorframe and played with a ring that was on my finger. "Why did you leave the party?" I asked. I knew Reid well enough to know that he wasn't one of the first people to leave the party.

"Why did you leave the party? And don't tell me that it was because you were tired because we both know that's not true," he pointed out and looked at me while I hesitated to answer.

"I just didn't want to be there anymore," I said and it was the most honest answer that I could give him.

He scoffed. "Because of me?"

I shook my head. "No," I said slowly. "Because I just didn't want to be there." I shrugged and wondered why he was in my room.

"Why are you here?" I asked him.

He stood up and started walking over to where I was leaning against the doorframe. "Because I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?" I asked quietly, considering the fact that he was barely three feet away from me now.

I could have sworn that he was about to kiss me again. But he didn't and I wasn't sure if I felt relief to disappointment. I could see his eyes looking over me and then he looked into my eyes. I wish I could know what he was thinking. It would be so much easier that way. Then again, I was partially glad that I could not read his thoughts. They might be disturbing in more than one way.

"When I kissed you," he quickly said and turned around and took a few paces in the opposite direction then turned around to face me again. "It was just a thank you kiss. I figured it was the least I could do." His smirk played on his lips.

I let out a breath. "I figured," I said with a sigh. "But don't you go thinking that you can just go and do that whenever I do something nice for you," I pointed out and raised my eyebrows. I was glad that this wasn't weird. Okay, I lied. It was still weird.

Reid chuckled. "I'll kiss you whenever the hell I want," he said.

My mouth dropped and I didn't know what to say. "Reid," I said.

"Hmm…?" He raised his eyebrows and smirked.

"I…I don't think that kissing me whenever you want is a good idea," I began.

"Why not?" he asked and folded his arms over his chest. He was amused.

"Because then people will start to think that I'm sleeping with you which I am not doing," I said and made sure that the last four words were firm.

"Well what if I just kiss you because I like you?" he challenged.

Now it was my turn to be amused. "Reid you don't like girls. Well, you do but you don't have crushes on them. You sleep with them and that's it."

"You know about Rebecca, right?" he asked and sat back down on my bed.

I was shocked to hear this coming from him. But I nodded anyways.

"I actually liked her and all that shit," he explained but tried to act bored with the whole story. "Anyways she screwed me over to Aaron and I decided that girls weren't worth it anymore. Well, the whole talking about your feelings shit. Girls are good for sleeping with and that's it."

Now I was getting a little pissed off. "Reid!" I snapped. "Girls aren't just good for sleeping with," I disagreed with him.

He smirked and shook his head. "Well until you can prove it to me that's what I'm going to think." He paused and shrugged. "I just thought you might like to know why I'm the way I am from me and not some girl who doesn't know the half of it."

I folded my arms over my chest and clenched my teeth. If his whole purpose here was to piss me off then he had accomplished it.

He got up from my bed again and walked dangerously close to me.

"What are you doing?" I asked in a hushed tone, seeing that his face was only a few inches from mine.

"Going to the bathroom," he whispered back and moved me out of the way and shut the door.

I clenched my jaw again and walked back over to my bed and sat on it with my back against the wall. My legs were folded criss-cross style and my arms were folded across my chest. I was not amused.

If he didn't leave when he got out of the bathroom then I sure as hell was going to make him leave. Not only had he pissed me off but now I was even more awake than I had been before. At least before he had arrived I had the possibility of falling asleep at some point.

He came out of the bathroom with his beanie off his head and I could see that it was tucked in his jean pocket.

He chuckled. "What?"

"Are you going to leave yet?" I snapped.

"Not quite yet," he said slowly.

I rolled my eyes. "What else do you want?"

He kept walking towards my bed and sat down next to me with his back against the wall. He closed his eyes for a minute and I half expected him to fall asleep right then and there.

I took my back off the wall and leaned forward a little and looked at him. "Reid?" I asked, rather annoyed.

He didn't say anything.

"Reid!" I yelled and his eyes opened and then next thing I knew his lips were crashing onto mine.

One of his hands was on the side of my face while the other was snaking around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

I wasn't sure what happened next but I could feel my senses taking over, well hormones are more like it but whatever. One of my arms wrapped around his neck and I was kissing him back.

The kiss wasn't like the one that he had given me at the party. This one was more intense and filled with passion.

I pushed him back and tried to clear my head but his arm was still around my waist, holding me firmly against him. "I'm not going to sleep with you," I reminded him.

He smiled. "I know," he said and started kissing me again.

This time he broke us apart and had a half smile and half smirk on his face. "See you later Scott," he said and left my room before I could even open my mouth to say something back.

I groaned with frustration and fell back onto my bed. This was not happening. I had no idea what was even going on! I didn't like Reid, but I had kissed him back. Why had he even kissed me? Was he messing with my head? Ugh. I had no idea but I was totally done with thinking for the night.

A:N// Think I can squeeze one more chapter out in an hour? I hope so. I'll start but I cant guarantee that it will be posted.

REVIEWS PLEASE!
