Reid- You what?
Me- I snuck out to get over here. I thought it was pretty obvious.
Reid- Whatever. I'm just glad you're here. Julia is still being a bit bitchy.
[We head upstairs and I knock on Julia's bedroom door]
Me- Julia! Reid told me what happened. Are you okay?
[Julia steps out of her room]
Julia- Yeah, I'm fine.
[I look at her blankly]
Me- But Noah literally canceled your date.
[She chuckles]
Julia- We're still having our date. I lied.
Me- Why?!
Julia- I noticed your relationship with Reid wasn't the same ever since the day after my birthday party.
[Reid and I awkwardly look at each other]
Julia- You guys were really close. Now, it seems like it's gone away like that.
[We look at Julia]
Julia- I want you guys to resolve whatever issue it is that caused this.
[She goes back into her room and Reid & I look at each other]
Me- Should we go into your room..?
Reid- Yeah..
[He opens his room door and I enter. I sit down on his bed and he shuts the door. He sits down next to me. We sit there awkwardly for a while. I then turn to look at him]
Me- Why have you been avoiding me?
[He looks at the floor]
Me- You don't say "hi" to me anymore when I see you..
[He looks at me]
Reid- ..Did ever occur to you that it hurt me when you told me you liked Tom?
Me- No, but.. Why would you feel that?
[He looked back down at the floor then back at me]
Reid- Because I like you, Angie.. I always have. And I thought you did, too. Especially after everything that's happened in the past few weeks. But I guess I was wrong cause you like Tom..
[He looks down at the floor again]
Me- Reid, I-
Reid- I know what you're going to say. You had no idea and I think it's pretty clear that you didn't.
Me- ..Okay, yeah, I was going to say that, but.. I did feel the same in a way..
[He looks at me]
Reid- Really?
Me- Yeah, but.. The feelings kind of died down when I realized how much I cared about Tom.
Reid- And do you think he'll possibly be your future boyfriend?
Me- ..Maybe? I don't know. You know he's with Natalie.. But they are having issues..
Reid- So, you should take that chance.
Me- Reid, I can't. Even if they're having issues, I can't just take him away from her. And why are you giving me advice on this? Doesn't it make you sad to hear me talking about someone else?
