At first Reid didn't respond but then he slowly put his arms around Dylan. He pulled her closer and savored every second of that kiss. It wasn't aggressive like the way he kissed other girls. It was sweet and gentle. She pulled back and looked into his piercing blue eyes. She saw something that she didn't expect. Sincerity.

"That was amazing," whispered Reid. Dylan moved back and blushed. She didn't know what came over her. It was a spur of the moment decision and she felt good about it.

"I know," she replied quietly. He slowly held her chin and tipped her head and went in for another kiss. This time it was better. Dylan could swear she saw fireworks. It must be the alcohol. She pulled back breathing heavily and saw him smile again.

"We should probably head back." Dylan said quietly. Reid nodded and stood up. The ride back to school was quiet. She didn't know what to say to him after that. It was a beautiful moment while it lasted, but what's next? Yes, she liked Reid but how much?

"I'll see you in class tomorrow?" Dylan asked as they got out of the car.

"Yeah, sure. You heading back to your dorm?" Reid asked hoping that she wouldn't. Dylan nodded.

"I'll walk you," said Reid. They walked quietly together, not one of them daring to speak about what happened. They reached Dylan's room too quickly which kind of disappointed Reid.

"Well, goodnight." Dylan said as she opened her door. Reid smiled again and turned around. He wasn't three steps away when Dylan pulled him back and kissed him again, this time more passionately. Reid kissed back which as much force and maneuvered Dylan inside her room. Thank God she had a single, thought Dylan. They closed the door and ended up in each other's arms until morning came.

Reid walked back to his room with a smile plastered on his face. He felt like he was walking on air. He couldn't forget what happened between him and Dylan. She felt so perfect in his arms that it hurt. She walked in to see Tyler with arms crossed and an eyebrow raised.

"Somebody got some last night," observed Tyler. "Who's the unlucky girl?" Reid shrugged him off and went to get his stuff for the shower.

"This is new?" asked Tyler. "Reid Garwin, not bragging about his conquest?" Reid still didn't answer.

"Dude, you're acting weird man!" exclaimed Tyler as he peeked in the bathroom. Reid was already in his towel ready to go out. "You're creeping me out!" Reid just grinned and walked out of the door.

"Well, bite my ass and fuck me sideways?" Tyler said to himself. He shook his head and changed into his uniform.

"You had sex," Brittany said pointedly.

"I did not," answered Dylan.

"Yes you did."

"No, I didn't."

"Lie all you want but everything about you says you got laid last night." Dylan said dryly. "It's possible you did it with a Spenser boy. It's the middle of the week and we know you didn't drive all the way to Boston just to fuck." They were having breakfast at the cafeteria and Brittany was giving Dylan the third degree.

"Do you have superpowers or something?" Dylan asked sarcastically. She had no idea how her friends could tell if somebody had sex. They just could. It's like a sixth sense with them. "Even if I did I wouldn't tell you who."

"I didn't ask and I bet you that I don't have to," retorted Brittany. Dylan shot her a look but Brittany just shrugged it off.

"I'll take that bet." Dylan replied confidently.

"Reid Garwin." Dylan dropped her jaw. How did Brittany know? "If you're thinking how I found out, you're expression says it all. I was just guessing."

"You sneaky bitch," said Dylan. She should have known that Brittany would pull that stunt. That's how they usually find out who their friends sleep with.

"Thank you," Brittany grinned. "I can't believe you actually slept with him. I know you wanted to but I didn't think you'd actually do it."

"We all have our moments of weakness." Dylan replied dryly.

"Weakness my ass, I'm betting it was you who made the first move." Dylan couldn't believe how knowledgeable Brittany was in that area. Maybe the girl was psychic. Last night with Reid must have been the best night of her sex life. She couldn't believe the boy's stamina.

"Whatever," replied Dylan obviously annoyed. "It was a one-time thing. I doubt it'll happen again." She didn't want anything to do with Reid anymore. It's obvious he'll move on to the next thing with breast now that he's finished with Dylan. If that was the case, she would not let him dump her first.

"We'll see about that. Here comes lover-boy right now." Dylan looked up to see Reid come in the cafeteria with Tyler. He saw Dylan and walked over to her while Tyler went to their friends.

"Do something, Brit!" Dylan pleaded. Brittany just smirked at her and stood up to leave the table.

"Hey, Dylan." Reid greeted her. Dylan smiled faintly at him and went back to eating her omelet. He was still standing there.

"Do you need something?" Dylan asked curtly. Reid looked taken aback. He sat down across her and stared at her.

"What's up with the cattiness? I thought we were past that?" asked Reid impatiently.

"We're past everything, Reid." Dylan answered dismally. "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go." Dylan stood up and left Reid with his mouth gaping open. She couldn't believe what she just did. It kind of made her feel bad the way she treated him. But she knew that if she didn't, he would make her feel worse.

-

Dylan went to the parking lot and locked herself in her car. She listened to her music and made herself relax. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" She kept banging her head on her steering wheel until she hit her horn. The guy in front of her car jumped and looked in the car to see who she was.

"Dylan?" She saw that it was Tyler. She smiled weakly at him and rolled down her window.

"Sorry about that," she said quietly.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" asked Tyler. Dylan looked at herself in the rearview mirror. She didn't even notice that she was.

"I didn't know I was." Dylan wiped her eyes quickly and got out of the car.

"Well, anyway, I heard we were partners in History." Tyler changed the subject noticing that Dylan wouldn't want to talk about it.

"About that, I'm gonna switch with Kimmy." Dylan said meekly. "Brittany wants me to be her partner and Kimmy already agreed." Tyler looked a little disappointed but smiled all the same.

"That's okay, I'll tell Reid later." Tyler replied. "Are you coming in?" She nodded and walked beside him towards the school. They went in the big double-door entrance then someone sucker-punched Tyler. He fell down and his nose was bleeding.

"Mr. Garwin! I saw that! Go to the provost office!" One of the teachers screamed at Reid. Dylan was shocked to see that it was him who punched Tyler in the face.

"Fucking slut!" He spat out at Dylan before being pulled away by the teacher. One of the boys in the hall was helping Tyler up and she looked around to see all the disapproving stares of the people around her.
