Thanksgiving came and went. Everyone went home, but Kat stayed behind telling them that she'd be leaving later on and just didn't. She just stayed. Granted she knew she was being stalked, but she hadn't gotten anything creepy since homecoming. She didn't have anywhere to go. It wasn't all that bad though. Ryan was there. She took the time to do some research on a few things. She also looked for a way to get down into that secret room that she'd found them in doing something weird.

"I don't know." She said

Maybe we should ask them.

Ryan was trying to urge her to talk to them about it so that maybe they'd just out right tell her instead of leaving her in the dark. She didn't deserve that.

"Oh yeah, that sounds good. Hey guys are you like witches or some shit like that?" Kat said sarcastically

It was retarded is what it was and she knew it. She couldn't even believe that she was contemplating this. Kat put the book down and went downstairs. The guys came back the night before last and seemed to be in an intense conversation. Reid poked his head out of it.

"Hey Kat, what would you think about having a roommate?"

"Another one?" she asked "Wait a minute, I get a say in this?"

"You live here don't you?"

"Well, yeah." She answered

"Then I guess you do." He smirked

"Well then you shouldn't ask me." She said

"What?" Caleb asked now jumping in on it

"Ask the one who lives in that room."

They both had blank stares towards her. She just waited another second to see if they'd get it and they still looked at her stupefied. She huffed.

"Ryan."

The realization came slowly. Kat just rolled her eyes. Then the phone rang. She moved to pick it up as she watched those two go back into deep conversation. It was kind of funny watching them as their talk turned to bickering. What were they, five?

"Hello?" she said

"Hello, Katerina. How was your break?"

The voice was sinister, dark, and deep. The one from homecoming. She couldn't mistake it if she tried. It was imbedded into her brain. How did he know her full name? Nobody knew it being she never gave it. Kat hung up the phone quickly and noticed that both Reid and Caleb were staring at her expectantly now.

"Wrong number." She mumbled and went upstairs

She kept her eyes on the stairs. As she reached the top she felt a cold rush through the right side of her body.

"You should know that they're looking into getting another housemate and they would be moving into your room." She said

With that she kept on towards her room.

Well, it won't be easy I'll make sure of that.

Kat laughed a little.

"I hope if anything it'll be a female. There are too many males here." she said

There was no response. Kat moved to her room and just fell on her bed. He was now making house calls. Joy. A knock at her door several minutes later caught her by surprise.

"Who is it?" she asked confused

They never knocked. They walked in and that was it. Reid poked his head in.

"It wasn't the wrong number was it?" he asked

She just shook her head.

"Kat, you got to call the police." He said as he came in and sat beside her. there was genuine worry in his features.

"I can't. I have a record. They wouldn't give me a second chance." She said

"It can't be that bad."

Kat scoffed in her mind. If he only knew.

"I just can't." she said "I'll deal with this in my own way and maybe if I ignore it it'll go away."

"You know it won't." he said more serious now

"I'll deal with it." her tone dark now

Reid didn't recognize her for a split second. It was a look that was familiar and brought about a name to his mind that he didn't want to even utter. What is she thinking about? Please tell me I'm wrong in thinking that she wants to go after this guy.

Kat moved to her door and opened it. She gestured for him to leave, but he just grinned and laid back.

"Oh c'mon you miss me." He said

She raised her eyebrows at him and took her time moving over to him and tried to get him up. He only made it more difficult by putting in his own weight. He laughed at her facial expression as she tried her hardest to get him off of her. Then he just grabbed her arm and pulled her down beside him. She yelped as he did and bounced on the bed. He pinned her down and laughed.

"Pinned ya." He said sounding confident

A Lion King moment really? Wow…dumbass.

The moment felt tense for some reason as they sat or rather laid in that position. He stared at her intensely and she did the same.

Who is she? I know her, but I don't. I don't like not knowing.

Please don't let him find out. I don't want him to turn against me. I need to do what I have to. Should I ask about it? Would he tell me what him and Caleb do? What do they do? Maybe I'm delusional. It wouldn't be too surprising now would it?

His arms on each side of her had her blocked in that spot. For a moment she didn't want him to move. The way they were was getting her heart going.

"Careful Kat. Wouldn't want to think you're comfortable." He said in a hushed tone

Kat glared at him now and he just drew closer.

What the hell is he doing?

Their noses nearly touched now. Then suddenly Kat shoved him off without thinking. It was like an instinct telling her to back off. Reid sat as if catching his breath.

"Sorry to disappoint you Garwin, but I'm not a whore. I actually have standards." She said

Standards…You think I don't? Placing hard to get doesn't work for me. In fact, why does everyone think I'm a damn manwhore…oh right I give that off don't I?

Kat left the room and Reid just sat there now thinking about how close he was to her and how it felt to touch her body even though it wasn't that sexual. He'd pinned her.

Kat thought about Cole as she stood at the base of the stairs and just took a deep breath. This wasn't happening. Not now, not ever. She wouldn't do that to Cole. Sure, they weren't dating, but she really liked this guy. Leave it to Reid to want to stop that. Then again she wasn't pulling away completely and half wanted what she thought he wanted.

Kat shook her head and went downstairs. Reid was only adding onto her mental issues. Caleb was downstairs still sitting where he was before. She was having an issue in picking where she wanted to be. Reid was upstairs now pestering her and Caleb's pestering was quiet with stares. He looked at her as she sat down beside him.

"So, who was on the phone?" he asked

"I don't know. It was the wrong number." She answered

I wish Qwerty was here. I wouldn't get so much pestering.

"I'm telling you Kat, he likes you." Qwerty said

Kat's head fell down on the table.

Nevermind. I wish I could be alone now. Freaking pestering!

"No no no no no no no!" Kat said over and over again

Qwerty laughed.

"It's true…you know it."

"No."

"Cole does to like you and I'll repeat it all I like." She said

Kat groaned. How was she supposed to feel now?

"Hey ladies."

Kat raised her head and saw Cole standing there with a sheepish grin and damn it, it was cute. His eyes were just so blue and…just damn it. He sat down beside Kat. He was close too. Kat's heart skipped and she bit her lower lip.

"Well, I have class." Qwerty said as she got up and left

Did she just leave me? I can't do this by myself!

"What about you? Class?"

"No." she smiled

Reid was walking in and saw the two of them talking. Quickly he turned and walked out. Who was he to jump in on something that wasn't his anyway? This wasn't Ipswich. He had to accept things he didn't like and he needed to forget about things he didn't want to feel. Being close to her…it wasn't right.

Kat hadn't noticed him come in let alone leave. She was enthralled with Cole. He made her smile and she hadn't smiled in a long time. Her sudden worries were gone.

Reid who was walking back to the house felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

"Yo." He said as he answered

"Reid get back to the house. I have an idea on how to find Kat's stalker." Caleb said

"On my way back now actually and this wouldn't have to do with a little using now would it?" Reid asked precariously

"Shut up and just your ass back here." Caleb said

"Now you're thinking about my ass? Geez Caleb, does Sarah know you're swinging for the other side?"

The line went dead right then. Reid snickered to himself as he shoved the phone back into his pocket.

When he got back to the house he saw the open hatch. Caleb must've been downstairs.

"So, tell me why we are going after the moron instead of just going to the police." Reid said as he got fully down the staircase

"Because we don't need the attention." Caleb said

"Right." Reid mumbled thinking about how she said she had a record

Caleb showed Reid the book of damnation right then. Reid looked down at it. To call out an enemy.

"Okay…" he trailed off handing the book back

"It'll take three of us at least."

"Who's closest to us?" Reid asked

"Baby boy."

"You know we'll have to wait. He's in the midst of his own bullshit." Reid said "He's actually considering a transfer."

"Huh." Caleb said thinking about that deeply.

If the transfer goes through then maybe he'll take up residence here.

"When?" he asked

"Not sure. Like I said, he's considering it." Reid said "I can probably get him to come up after Christmas."

"Good." Caleb said

Caleb looked at Reid. Reid was extremely curious. He'd never seen him act this way. Not directly. He was taking some serious matters to hand. What if he found the guy that was after Kat then what? Granted I was pretty vengeful and prick like when I wanted to be, but what would Caleb do?

Cole walked Kat back to the house. For several moments they just stood there and the silence felt really awkward.

Well, I think a gay baby was born.

"I should go." Cole said

Kat only nodded unsure what to say to that. Then suddenly her lips came into contact with his like an electric shock. Her eyes went wide quickly then close gradually as she fell into it. Oh he is too good. He pulled away and smirked down at her.

"That's only the beginning." He said before walking off

Even after he'd gone and she went inside ignoring the fact that the hatch was open she forgot to breathe. She could feel Ryan following her and she didn't care. Was it possible to be on cloud eleven?
