Setting: Getting out of Reid's car in Spenser's student parking lot. It's overcast outside, the clouds are dark and promising rain. As they walk up the front steps of the school, Tyler notices them.

Nine: Walk of Shame

"Fuck, everyone's already staring."

"Let them stare. Everyone at this school knows we're tag team anyway, who cares?"

"You're not gunna have to deal with the rumors Reid, you're a boy."

"Who says there'll be rumors. I'm telling you, everyone knows we're close. No one's going to make anything of you getting out of my car."

"Getting out of your car is one thing. Getting out of your car when my hair is messed up, I'm not wearing make-up, and I'm not wearing my uniform. That's different."

"Blaise?"

"Oh, hey Ty."

"Is everything okay? Where's your uniform? Class starts in twenty minutes."

"Yah, about that- I really have to get changed, but I'll see you in class, okay?"

"Wait! I called you last night, where were you?"

"Um, Reid can explain! Gotta go, love you!"

"…Reid?"

"Heh, hey Ty…So, how was your night?"

"Fine. I'm kinda interested in hearing about yours though."

"Yah, um, Blaise and I just hung out for a while. We kinda lost track of time and ended up crashing at my place."

"Doing what?"

"Just, ya know, watching movies…"

"Is that all you did?"

"We might have had some drinks, too."

"What? Reid, you know she's not good with alcohol."

"You know what Sims, she's my best friend, ok? What was I supposed to do?"

"Not let her drink?!"

"Well how about you baby-sit when she's on your watch and she can have fun when she's with me? Is that a good enough arrangement for you?"

"Man, what is up with you lately?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about. You and I have been close our whole lives. I'm your best friend, aside from Blaise. Now, all of a sudden you wanna start shit with me every day over nothing!"

"Maybe I'm just sick of you hovering all the time. Ever since Caleb left you've been acting like some self-righteous little bitch. You keep Blaise on lockdown, you boss me around like I'm five and you walk around like you're fucking perfect."

"Hey, you know I've got just as many vices as you Reid, okay? Come on, man."

"Come on and what? Listen to you lecture me for the thousandth time? Ya know, I would but I'm a little worn out from hanging out with your girlfriend last night. I'll see you around."
