Dakota's POV

Please someone help me. Why would Oliver pick Reid of all people? I would rather him tell me to go in there with him.

"We don't have to do anything." I told him, trying to sound nonchalant.

"But the rules say–"

"You actually want to kiss me?" He laughed.

"No, but it's the fun of the game. Sadie kissed you, why can't I?" I raised my eyebrow. He's been acting funny all day. Trying to be friends with me, it's weird!

"Fine. Don't get too attached. I'm told I'm a good kisser." He rolled his eyes and I leaned in. I opened one eye as I did to see him leaning forwards. I went ahead and connected my lips to his.

He started moving his lips, because I was frozen. But as he did, it relaxed me, and I began kissing him back. He leaned in more and I held the back of his head in my hand. I felt my head hit the window on my side and he pulled back.

His eyes stayed closed and he stayed just as close to me. His breath kept hitting my lips as he tried to calm himself down.

He opened his eyes, then they widened. He sat back quickly, adjusting his pants... He didn't do that for the reason I thought did he?

He looked back at me, just as calm as he usually did.

"Hmm... you are gay, aren't you?" He asked me. I raised my eyebrow and laughed at him. "We can just talk now, it's fine." He said, smiling.

"Okay." I said, shrugging. So, it didn't really affect him? I was slightly disappointed, but happy. Nothing needed to happen between the two of us.

"I don't know why Oliver picked for us to go in here."

"Probably mad at me for trying to expose him."

"But he should be happy you still like him." My eyes widened.

"What? I don't like him. I'm over him." He looked at me surprised.

"Then who is it in the guy group you like? There isn't anyone else who strikes me as your type." I laughed shakily. Me and my big mouth. I should've just agreed that I liked Oliver.

"That's my secret."

"Come on, you could tell me." I looked at him and shook my head.

"I can't."

"Is it Felix?" Ew, I'm offended.

"No, that's disgusting."

"So that leaves Andy." And you, you dumbass. Maybe I don't like

him, he's a little stupid. Who am I kidding? He's hot and stupid. The total package.

"Yup... I like Andy." He laughed at me and then he looked at me and frowned.

"No... you don't."

"How do you know?"

"I could tell, from the tone of your voice. You like m–" Someone knocked on the car window and I jumped out quickly.

"Time's up!" Felix said, grinning. "Don't worry, I won't tell that you two didn't do what you were supposed to." I laughed shakily and went back to the campfire. I could feel Reid staring at me and I sighed. What have I done?

We made it to my house, and I set some rules in effect.

"We have two open bedrooms. No one goes into my parents room down the hall. Otherwise, do what you want, I don't care." The guys got on the phone to start ordering pizza. The girls started figuring out sleeping arrangements.

"I'm sorry to be a party pooper guys, but I'm not feeling well. I'm going to go sleep. Dakota, can I go to your room?" Sadie said.

"Yeah sure, take the bed. You know where the medicine is." She smiled and hugged me tightly.

"Thank you. Goodnight guys." She went to the kitchen and kissed Reid, and I turned away.

I couldn't wait for the pizza to get here, I was hungry. We'd had some food at the lake, but it wasn't as good as pizza.

We all sat on the couch and talked until it came. Reid stared at me most of the time, as he talked to Oliver and Felix. Andy didn't come, but the girls came.

I was talking away with them when the pizza came. I ran to the door, and opened it to see a guy I had sex with before.

"Hey Dakota, what's going on?" I shrugged.

"Nothing, just had a few friends over." I heard someone behind me and I saw Reid. "You're paying?" I asked him.

"Yeah." He handed the guy the money and he left, waving to me.

"We should catch up again one day." He said as he left. I nodded, but I knew I wouldn't.

"That an ex of yours?" I shook my head. "You and I should talk."

"About what? There's nothing to talk about." I told him, taking the pizza and bringing it to the kitchen where everyone was waiting.

"Yes! I can finally fulfill my hunger!" Oliver said. I laughed and got a piece. I bit it and sighed. Amazing.

"Is it that good Dakota?" Felix asked me. I nodded quickly. We all shoved pizza down our throats, well the guys did. I was happy to have them all be here and not be lonely tonight.

"Can I talk to you Dakota?" Oliver asked me. I groaned. Why does everyone want to talk to me? Reid eyed us closely as we walked away.

"What?" I said as we got further away from everyone.

"I'm sorry about lying to you about Sydney." I shrugged.

"Oliver, I really don't care. I'm fine with being friends with you. That's final. I don't want anything else from you ever again." He looked at me surprised. He tried to lean in and kiss me and I scooted back. "I'm serious, I don't care for you like that anymore."

"But you said you liked–"

"I lied. If you can't respect that I don't want you, then the two of us shouldn't be friends." Oliver's mouth dropped and I saw Reid's head poke in.

"We're gonna go watch a movie." He said, looking between the two of us. He saw that Oliver was mad and I saw a smug look on his face.

I began to leave and Oliver grabbed my hand.

"Dakota, wait." I glared at him.

"Let me go."

"But I–" I slapped him and he let go of me, fuming. I left the room and Reid was leaning on the wall outside of it.

"Stop fucking stalking me." I grumbled at him.

"What? I thought I was your body guard." I rolled my eyes and walked to the living room. They were both getting on my nerves. I wanted to get away from them both, but of course, that never happens. I laid on the ground by the two girls and guess who sits beside me.

Reid.

I sighed and he looked away innocently.

The movie started and we started watching. Midway through the movie, the girls stood up.

"We think we'll go to sleep." I nodded and hugged them.

"Goodnight." They went up the stairs and I began watching the movie again.

"Can we talk?" Reid whispered.

"The hell do you want?" I asked him. He shrugged and I rolled my eyes.

"I'm going to go shower. Dakota, can you help me find towels and stuff?" I groaned and got up. I led him to the bathroom and he stopped me. "You know you can't like me." I looked at him like he was stupid.

"Hmm, maybe that's why I've been trying to avoid you." His mouth dropped and he laughed nervously.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll let you get over it then." I nodded and he stayed there. "I do need to find out where the shower is." I laughed and led him towards it.

"The towels are in there." I told him. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about my stupid crush." He nodded and raised his eyebrow.

"Is that why you didn't talk to Sadie?" I nodded.

"I feel horrible about it." He shrugged.

"You can't help who you like. Goodnight Dakota."

"Goodnight. You can sleep with Sadie. But no sex in my bed." He laughed and agreed. He ruffled up my hair and I smiled and left.

I decided to sleep in my parents room so everyone could be as comfortable as possible. I didn't mind it anyway. I sighed, thinking about today.

I sure wish things were different. I wish Oliver wasn't such an asshole, and I wish Reid was an asshole. That would be way better.
