"Fuck man!" screamed Reid as he held onto his bleeding nose.

"That's for punching me in the face, dickhead!" Tyler yelled back. He calmed down a bit and sat on his bed. They were in their dorm room after Reid got reprimanded and was given a warning for punching Tyler. "Now, would you care to explain to me why you did that?" Reid didn't answer. He searched his drawers for something to stop the bleeding.

"Fuck you, Reid!" yelled Tyler. "I don't know what the fuck is going on with you! You act weird and then you punch me for no reason and you still won't talk to me!" Reid closed his drawer abruptly and turned to face Tyler with menacing eyes that slowly turned into hurt.

"You were with her last night, weren't you?" Tyler finally realized why Reid was acting so strange. "God, Reid. You know how the system works. You steal girls from me, not the other way around!"

"She's acting like nothing happened!" Reid said in frustration. "Then I find you talking and walking together and I lost it, okay? Happy now?" Tyler just shook his head.

"What the hell happened to my best friend?" Tyler said to himself. Reid just slumped down on his bed and cranked up his iPod.

Dylan sat inside the bathroom crying her eyes out. She didn't know why she was crying. At least now she knows she's crying. Not only did Reid hate her guts, she was practically ruined in Spenser. She didn't have a reputation anymore. Why did she have to go and do those things? She heard a knock on her stall.

"Get the fuck out of this bathroom!" she yelled through her tears.

"It's me, Sarah." Dylan slowly opened the door. Sarah couldn't believe what she was seeing. Dylan's hair was all in a mess, her makeup was smudged in places and her eyes were so puffy it looked like they were closed. "You weren't at practice so I came to find you. I heard what happened."

"Oh, you did now, did you?" Dylan asked sarcastically through her tears. "You probably heard that Reid called me a fucking slut in front of the whole school and it was because of me that he punched Tyler!" Sarah went inside the stall and hugged Dylan. Not one of her friends ever hugged her. Sarah was the first one to do so. Sarah wasn't saying anything. She just let Dylan cry.

"Want to know why I'm crying, Sarah? Want to know why?" Sarah shook her head quietly. Dylan sniffed and sobbed. "It's because the only guy I ever really liked is a fucking asshole and I'm a stupid fucking bitch!" Dylan just cried and cried until her eyes were dry. Sarah pulled her up when she stopped and took her over to their dorms. She knew Dylan didn't want to be alone right now, especially with all the gossip that's going around school.

-

Kate looked up to see Sarah holding Dylan up at the door. She gave Sarah a look that said 'What is she doing here?' Then she noticed how Dylan looked and quickly opened the door to let them in.

"What happened?" whispered Kate. She had heard about what happened in the halls that day but she didn't expect to see Dylan this way.

"I'm thinking nervous breakdown," answered Sarah. Dylan still wasn't talking as Sarah sat her down on her bed.

"She needs water. I think she's dehydrated." Kate nodded and went into the bathroom to fetch Dylan a glass of water. She drank it all and lay down on the bed. A few minutes later, she fell asleep.

-

Dylan woke up not remembering what happened to her after the bathroom. She was surprised to see that she was still in Sarah's room. Kate wasn't around. She must have left. Dylan actually thought that she had gotten home after her breakdown.

"Good morning!" greeted Sarah as she sat on the bed beside Dylan.

"How long was I out?" asked Dylan.

"You got here at about 5:30 last night and you fell asleep." Sarah explained to her.

"Thank you, for helping me." Dylan said meekly. She didn't expect Sarah to take care of her after what happened yesterday.

"Do you want to talk about it now that you're okay?" Sarah asked gently.

"I don't know what came over me." Dylan sighed. "I slept with Reid. Did you know that?" Sarah shook her head and finally understood what happened. She still didn't get why Reid punched Tyler but Dylan would be able to tell her now.

"I blew him off yesterday. I thought after what happened I'd be over him and I can go on with my life. But then he comes up to me and acts like he's happy. I just don't want to get dumped because I know that's exactly what's going to happen if I had let him." Sarah nodded as she patiently waited for Dylan to finish.

"Then Tyler saw me at the parking lot and then we walked back in school together. That's when Reid lost it. He called me a slut and was taken away by a teacher. Everyone saw it."

"That's not like Reid," remarked Sarah. "He wouldn't usually care if you did go for Tyler as long as he's already had you." Dylan laughed ominously at the thought.

"Well, that's probably changed now. I saw the look he gave me. It was so full of hate." Dylan shook her head and put it in her hands. Sarah really felt sorry for Dylan. She knew that something like this would happen. "Well, thanks for everything Sarah. You've been a big help. Now I have to do some damage control."

"Okay, Dylan. Take care," said Sarah as she walked Dylan to the door.

"You can call me Dee." Dylan said as she went out and closed the door behind her.

-

"So the shit has hit the fan," sneered Kira. "Lil' Miss Perfect here isn't as great as she thinks she is." They were all having lunch together. Dylan figured she'd rather be with the most hostile people in the school who would say anything to her face rather than face those she didn't know who would be whispering about her all day long.

"Did you really think you could pull off the high and mighty bit for that long, Dee?" Rowena asked sarcastically.

"I told you this was a bad idea from the beginning, Dee. But no you wouldn't listen." Scoffed Brittany.

"Are you all finished?" growled Dylan. Everyone nodded smugly and went back to their usual gossip. They wouldn't dare give Dylan any more crap than she already has. What she did was minor compared to all the shit that these girls have ever done in their whole life.

"So how were they?" Rowena asked Dylan. They all looked at her waiting to be filled in with the juiciest gossip in town.

"They? What the hell are you talking about?" Dylan asked confused.

"We heard that you slept with Reid and Tyler. That's why they fought over you." Brittany answered her.

"I did not sleep with both of them!" shot back Dylan.

"Fine, so you did it at different times," commented Kira. Dylan just groaned and stood up to leave. She went outside the school and lit up a cigarette.

"Do you know that that could kill you?" Dylan jumped at the voice. It was Tyler. Do they like popping out of thin air every time she's not looking?

"I'd rather die young," Dylan answered bleakly. She huffed out her smoke at the other way so she wouldn't breathe on Tyler.

"Reid told me what happened." He said matter-of-factly.

"You're actually talking to him after what he did to you?" asked Dylan incredulously.

"We're brothers. We don't hold grudges." Tyler answered. "I'm actually surprised why I'm talking to you after what you did to my friend."

"What did I do exactly, huh?" Dylan asked gruffly. "I just did what he would've done to me if I gave him the chance."

"Then you're no better than he is." With that Tyler turned to leave and went inside the school. Dylan sighed and finished her cigarette.
