Chapter 5: What changed?

That day, when Randy joined ROR, Reilly couldn't but feel happy for him, but there was something off about him. Something had snapped. This she would feel the brunt of in within a week.

When she was done with the day's classes, she decided to hang out with HSS for a while and then when she was leaving, Rosie Levin told her that Dean Hardscrabble had wanted her to go to the lawn outside the scaring school for a while since she was working late, where they were right now hosting a party for scare student as she had heard from PNK.

Well, if her aunt said so. When she got to the party, she didn't catch any sight of her aunt so she decided to stay a while even though she had the house keys. Naomi Jackson called her over to dance with the PNK group as soon as she saw her. She just smiled and danced with them for a while, then she noticed a team clad in green clothes. The brothers of Oozma Kappa.

She had heard of them because of the scare games, but never really talked to them. She decided she would just to see what they were like, so she walked up to a short green monster who was roughly spherical shaped and said, "Hello. You must be the president of Oozma Kappa, or so I've heard. I'm Reilly Blaze."

The green monster smiled at her, "You heard right then! I'm Mike Wazowski and the big blue guy over there is my pal Sully. The monster with two heads dancing with Naomi is Terri and Terry. The kid with many eyes is Scott, but we call him squishy, the one with the moustache is Don and the purple one with the green socks is Art. Wait a second, you're Firin Blaze's son?! Like Dean Hardscrabble's neice?!"

He told me about his whole team, that I did not really need to know but oh well, and then he realizes my name. Smart guy. "Yes I am. What about it?" and his next question was completely unexpected, "Can I have you autograph?" She debated whether he was serious or not but then he held out a book and a pen so she took it and signed.

Mike beamed at her and then gestured for me to wait there before rushing to his Sully to show him. Sully gave it a passing glance them whammed around and shouted, "Where did you get her autograph?!" Mike turned him around and I diverted my gaze so I looked somewhere else. I saw Chet Alexander of ROR. Maybe Randy's with them! Sully walked up to her just then and said, "You father is an amazing scarer! I can't believe you're in MU! This cannot be real. Sign for me, please!"

And Reilly signed yet another book, feeling very awkward about it. Sully excitedly tucked the book in a pocket and said to Mike, "Wait till the other guys hear about this!" Reilly really wanted to see Randy, she hadn't talked to him since last week when he had re-joined ROR, so she said, "Hey, I've gotta go right now. But I'll talk to you guys later! See ya!"

Mike and Sully nodded pleasantly and she went off to see if Randy was with ROR at the party. She noticed Johnny talking to Randy just behind a shelf of magazines and went over, but she ducked behind that shelf when she caught a bit of conversation. "Wait, what about Reilly? Aren't you two friends?" This was Johnny.

"Who?" Reilly shook her head as if trying to deny that was possible. How could Randy have forgotten who she was? She really didn't think she would stay here a minute longer. So she opened her wings and flew off.

She knew that more than anything else, it hurt. For whatever reason or excuse he had, she was in no mood to hear it now. Then her thoughts flittered to her parents. They would know what to do. And perhaps, he aunt would too. Yes, that was it; she would ask Dean Hardscrabble what to do. She was trying to convince herself that everything was going to be alright.

When she got back to the house, she pushed open the door, her aunt was home. She locked the door behind her and pounded up the staircase and into her room. She would talk to her aunt later. She just collapsed on her bed and stared out the window. She bit her lip hard so that she would not scream or cry.

She assumed that her aunt had heard her because she hear the click of a door being shut from her aunt's room and then the clacks of her legs as she walked along the corridor. A few seconds later when her aunt entered the room, she asked, "What's wrong, Reilly? What are you angry about?" She just shook her head viciously.

Dean Hardscrabble just sighed softly and sat next to her. "Whatever it is, you can tell me. I'm sure it'll help just to talk." Reilly knew her aunt was right. So she told her tale from the time that she had convinced Johnny to get Randy back in ROR. Although she knew there was nothing wrong that she had done, and there was no reason for Randy to be angry if he was, she really couldn't accept that he didn't remember her.

When she was done she asked softly, "What should I do now Aunt Abigail?" It was a question that couldn't be answered, or could solve all her problems. Dean Hardscrabble just sighed again. "If you show him that you don't need him. That you don't care. Then he'll come back with an apology. Come; let's go downstairs, I'll tell you what to do."

Reilly was glad that she had someone like her Aunt Abigail who always knew what to do. She was perfecting that art and she was nearly there, as from her parents and friends remarks. But just nearly. Once she was walking upstairs, she began to smile least now she knew what to do, and this might work.
