The Fall Fest performance of the Dreamers was a success. Even Sarah became more popular because of their performance. Everyone loved it and the girls were ecstatic from all the praises. Even Dylan was complimented by a few people. She and Kimmy started talking again and now Kimmy was a little more discreet in voicing out her feelings at Dylan. She had to learn the hard way not mess with her.

"Hey Dee!" Sarah called to Dylan. She was just getting ready to leave. She wasn't in the mood to party with the others. She just wanted to go back to her dorms.

"Everybody's ditching the school to go to a party at Pogue's house," announced Sarah. "You coming with?"

"I don't think so, I'm a bit tired." Dylan lied. She just didn't want to see Reid just yet. She promised herself that she would talk to him but she's staring to think twice about it.

"Um, okay," said Sarah. "Call me if you change your mind, okay?" Dylan nodded and went on her way. The dorms were really quiet that night because almost everybody was going to the party. Everyone knows the parties of the Sons of Ipswich were the best in Spenser.

She turned towards the hall where her room was but then she saw Reid and Kimmy making out beside her door. She totally forgot that she was her neighbor. Kimmy saw Dylan staring at them with hurt in her eyes. She grinned at her smugly and led Reid inside their room. Reid didn't see her because his back was facing her.

There goes plan A. She did not want to stay in her dorm while Kimmy was fucking Reid next door. The rooms at Spenser aren't exactly sound-proof and she knew how Kimmy was when she was with a guy. Now she also had no intention of talking to Reid. It's clear that he's happy with what he does with the girls he's with. Dylan opened her cell phone and found Sarah's name. It rang a few times before someone picked up.

"Hello?" a male voice spoke at the other end.

"Is Sarah there? This is Dylan." She answered quietly trying to mask the sadness in her voice.

"Oh, she went to the bathroom but she'll be back in a sec." Caleb answered. "Oh here she is." Dylan heard Caleb tell Sarah it was her.

"Hey Dylan," greeted Sarah. "You changed your mind?"

"Um, yeah," replied Dylan. "Is it okay if I ride with you, I'm not gonna bring my car." Dylan didn't want to drive home after the party. She had no intention of being a designated driver tonight.

"We're on our way to the parking lot. We'll meet you there." Dylan closed her phone and changed her clothes in her room. She heard Kimmy giggling and hurried up so she wouldn't have to hear the rest.

"Hey Dylan," Tyler greeted her. She didn't expect him to be so nice after that little talk they had last week. He noticed her reaction. "Let's forget about what happened last week. Start over, is that okay?" Dylan smiled and nodded. The guy was too nice.

"Where's the bar?" asked Dylan. Caleb pointed over to the west wing of Pogue's mansion. Sure enough, that's where most of the people where. She squeezed herself through the crowd and sat on a stool at the bar. Only Spenser students could throw a house-party with their own bartender.

"Five shots of tequila and two bottles of beer." The bartender took her order and prepared her drinks. He put them on a tray so Dylan could bring it to her friends. She just smiled politely and set the drinks in front of her. She took the shots one by one and washed it down with the beers. She asked for another order and quickly finished the drinks. She sat there for a while scanning the crowd to see who was there. She saw some of her friends dancing in the living room. A few of them chatted with her when they went to the bar.

Dylan was beginning to feel the effects of the alcohol. She saw that Sarah was leading Caleb and Tyler over to her.

"Hey, having fun?" asked Caleb.

"Yeah, me and my Jose Cuervo are doing just fine here." Dylan pointed over to the empty shot-glasses behind her.

"Damn, that's a lot of alcohol!" exclaimed Tyler. "You sure you can handle that?"

"Please, I've been drinking since I was twelve. That hasn't even hit the spot." They all laughed and started talking about the Fall Fest. Suddenly, Sean Paul's Temperature boomed out of the stereo.

"Come on, Sarah!" said Dylan as she pulled Sarah onto the dance floor. People cleared the way for them and they started dancing. Everyone whooped and applauded them. Dylan knew this was one of the most embarrassing things she had ever done but she didn't care. The tequila was pumping all her blood in her body which gave her this sudden rush of confidence.

"That was the hottest thing I ever saw!" Tyler commended them both. "Where'd you learn that?"

"Oh, Dylan and I were fooling around when we made that dance." Sarah and Dylan were flushed from all the excitement. Caleb was beaming at his girlfriend. Who wouldn't be after she danced like that in front of the whole student body.

"Well, well, well! You girls just made my party ten times better!" said Pogue as he and Kate went over to them.

"That was awesome, Dylan!" said Kate. Even she was impressed. The next song came up and even Kate started dancing. The guys joined in on them and Tyler danced with Dylan. They were having so much fun until Dylan saw Reid glaring at the way she and Tyler danced. It wasn't dirty or anything. It was juts a little too close for Reid. He stormed off out of Pogue's front door. Dylan excused herself from the others and followed him outside.

Reid stormed out of the house and went to the garden. How could he be so stupid? It was clear that Dylan liked Tyler now. He saw the way they danced and Dylan looked liked she was enjoying it. He almost thought that Dylan attacked Kimmy because of him. Now he thinks that maybe Kimmy really did piss Dylan off. He kicked at the path he was standing on and made the gravel fly.

"Ouch!" Reid turned around and saw Dylan rubbing her eyes. He must have kicked the gravel in her face.

"What are you doing here? Your dance with Baby Boy's not finished yet!" Reid didn't mean for him to sound like a jealous boyfriend. He just didn't care anymore. Dylan Han was driving him up the roof.

"I came to talk to you," said Dylan quietly. "About what happened between us."

"What's there to talk about?" snapped Reid. "I thought we were past everything?"

"Maybe you are, but I'm not." Dylan answered meekly. Reid just stared at her waiting for her to continue.

"I'm sorry that I ignored you after what happened to us. I didn't want to but I was scared that you were going to dump me like you do to everyone else." Reid looked down at his shoes. It was true. He usually does that to other girls.

"I'm saying that I like you Reid and I just don't wanna get hurt like evry-oomf!" Before she could say anything else, Reid had kissed her cutting her off. She was shocked at first but finally she caved in and rested her body in his arms. It was better than their first kiss. This time Dylan was hearing music. Maybe it's the alcohol again? She didn't care. All she knew was how much she missed these lips and the way he held her.

"Do you want to get out of here?" Reid asked her as he pulled back from their embrace. Dylan nodded quietly and followed Reid as he led her back to the house and up the stairs to one of the guest rooms. Some people saw them but Dylan didn't care. Let them gossip about her, it wouldn't kill her.
