AAHHHHH I am such a bad person. I am so sorry you guys I really didn't realize that it has been this long since I updated. I went to Africa for a couple of weeks and then once I got back I kind of just forgot about everything else. I am so sorry but I promise that I will try to get back into it.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the original characters or storylines from the movie. Everything else though is mine lol.

Ch.20

The ride to Nicky's was full of laughter as Reid took every turn way to sharp. When they pulled into the parking lot they could see that both Caleb and Pogue were already there.

As soon as they walked into the small bar all eyes were on them and it made Melissa feel a little uncomfortable.

"Are you guys like a freakin cult or something everyone is staring at you." Melissa said to Kate.

"Actually they're staring at you. We don't let too many people into our group so it's kind of a shocker to see us with someone new." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"Basically you should feel extremely honored." Reid said putting his arm around her shoulder.

"Oh I am just so honored." Melissa said laughing as she sat down in an empty chair.

The group of friends talked for awhile before Reid decided that it was time to take Melissa up on her little bet.

"So you ready for that game of pool?" He asked smirking at her.

"Oh I think the better question is whether or not you're ready to get your butt kicked by a girl." Melissa said smirking back.

Everyone at the table gave an ohhhhh as they listened to Reid get his shit handed back to him.

"I don't know why I hang out with you guys." He said flipping them all off.

"So you think that she can beat him." Kate asked Annabell.

"I sure as heck hope so." She said leaning into Tyler.

"What did they bet anyways?" Sarah asked which caused Tyler to smirk.

"You know don't you." Pogue said looking at the youngest member.

"Maybe." Tyler said shrugging his shoulders.

"Tell us." Caleb said looking him in the eye trying to be intimidating.

"Nope." Tyler said smirking smugly at the leader.

"Annabell do you know." Sarah asked really wanting to know what it was.

"Yeah. And let's just say I really hope that Reid loses." She said causing Tyler to laugh.

"You two suck you know that." Kate said crossing her arms over her chest.

The two just looked at each other and shrugged.

Meanwhile at the pool table there was a completely different conversation going on.

"So you really think that you're going to be able to beat me." Reid said chalking up his stick.

"Oh honey I can almost guarantee that I am going to beat you." Melissa said smiling across the table at him as she racked the balls. "Oh and your sister told me to tell you no cheating."

Reid just looked back over to the table where Annabell gave him an 'I'm watching you' look. In which case he just smirked back.

The two were almost done with they're game when who would walk up to them. That's right none other than Aaron Abbot.

"Well well well what do we have here?" Aaron asked circling around Melissa.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" She shot back at him.

"Oh I would definitely like to know." Aaron said resting is hands on her hips.

Reid was just about to jump in and do something when he saw a smirk form on Melissa's face.

"Oh hunny you couldn't handle this." She told him teasingly.

"Really I think that it's you who wouldn't be able to handle this." He said quirking an eyebrow at her.

Reid was slightly confused now was she actually flirting with Aaron or was this some kind of crazy female mind trick. Either way he was not liking it so far.

"No you see I don't play around with little boy like you I like to go for the real men." She said stepping around him to take her shot.

"OH and let me guess you think Garwin over there is a real man." Aaron asked scoffing.

Reid went to puff out his chest and be manly when she completely deflated it.

"No I think you're all a bunch of little boys." She said smirking at them both.

"Although Garwin does seem to have more promise then you." She said giving him a wink.

Aaron looked at her as if she had grown a second head.

"So what your just like everyone else in this town huh and think that those four are god gift to the world." Aaron asked angrily.

"No I don't think that actually. I just met them so I don't really know anything about them. Although I am normally a pretty good judge of character and I would say that you're a sexist pig with no manners and a rather large 'Sons of Ipswich' complex." Melissa replied without missing a beat.

"Whatever sweet heart just let me know when you decide that you do in fact need a real man." Aaron said whispering the last part in her ear.

With that he walked away and Melissa took her next shot winning the game.

"Well blondie looks like you owe me a little show." She said laughing at him.

Reid who was still trying to figure out what was going on with the whole Aaron thing just gave her a nervous smile.

The group of teenagers over at the other end of the bar had seen the incident and were all rather surprised when Reid didn't step in. Although it also didn't look like Melissa needed much help.

"Since when does Reid just sit back and do nothing." Sarah asked confused.

"Since Nicky threatened to kick him out for good if he got into another fight." Pogue said not taking his eyes off the scene.

"What I want to know is where the shy Melissa that we met this morning went." Tyler said with a smirk.

"Oh yeah she left just about the time we got back to the dorms." Kate said thinking about the fun they all had getting ready together.

"Yeah but I doubt it will be as much fun as watching Annabell kick his ass." Caleb said laughing a bit at the memory.

"I second that." She said raising her glass.

They all did a toast and by the time that they turned back to the pool table Aaron was gone and Reid has a nervous look on his face. They're suspicions were confirmed when Melissa gave him a pat on the back and walked back over to the group.

"So who wants to watch Reid to a striptease to 'When I think about you I touch myself'" Melissa asked them all laughing.

The rest of the table busted out laughing as they're blonde haired friend walked over shuffling his feet.

"Dude not only did you lose to a girl but you have to do a striptease." Tyler said beginning to laugh uncontrollable.

It wasn't soon before all of the teens were almost on the floor in laughter.

"Yuck it up assholes cause it won't ever happen again." Reid said pouting.

Annabell was the first one to regain her composer when she realized something. "Wait he's not taking everything off is he cause I don't want to see that ever." She said shuddering at the thought.

Everyone else gave a disgusted look as well.

"You guys are assholes. And no I get to keep my boxers on." Reid said releasing all of they're fears.

"So when do I get to see this little show." Sarah asked with an evil grin.

"Not until I go and get some ones." Kate said with a suggestive one of her own.

"Hahaha you guys really really suck." Reid said going to the bar to get a drink.

Melissa said down in the chair that Reid had been in earlier and couldn't help but feel like she had ended up with a pretty decent group of people. She was broken out of her thoughts though when she heard Pogue speak.

"You're not really going to make him do that are you?" Pogue asked trying not to start laughing again.

"Hell yes I am. He shouldn't have made a bet with me." Melissa said with a grin all her own.

Once again the whole table bust out laughing.

"Oh my god you should make him do it right here in the bar." Kate said covering her mouth at the thought.

"Oh come on you don't want to totally embarrass him do you." Annabell asked starting to feel bad for her brother.

All of the others at the table looked at each other before shaking they're head yes.

With that Annabell got up from the table to be the bearer of bad news.

"So it seems that all of our friends have decided that you get to pay up here and now." She said slouching next to him.

"Wait what ….here in public. I thought that it was just going to be me and Melissa." Reid said actually looking a little nervous.

"Nope you're on big brother. Now here are my two rules. One have some fun with it. And two if you even think about taking off your boxers I swear to god I will make you regret it for the rest of your life." She said very seriously.

Reid just looked gave her a look like 'yeah I'm going to take off all my clothes in front of you.'

"Hey just checking." Annabell said throwing her hands into the air. "Now come on big brother the spot light is all yours." She said starting to laugh.

No sooner had Reid gotten to the table and the song came out of the jukebox. With that the teens cleared they're table of all drinks while the guys forced Reid up onto the table.

Once up there he had no idea what to do . That was until Kate yelled "Yeah Garwin take it off." This seemed to catch the attention of the whole bar.

It wasn't long before there was a swarm of females gathered around the table.

It was about half way through the song when Reid really loosened up and decided to have fun with it. He also decided to get Melissa back by pulling her up onto the table and singing the song to her while he stripped.

"Wow this is kind of making me hot." Sarah said fanning herself with her hand.

"You don't have to tell me." Kate said doing the same.

"You guys are both pigs." Annabell said laughing at her brother and his antics.

When the song ended Annabell swore that she heard a collective ahhh from every female in the bar including Sarah and Kate this of course caused her to laugh a little.

"That wasn't so bad big brother. Look at what you did to Sarah and Kate." Annabell said laughing as Caleb and Pogue both scowled.

"What can I say I'm just that hot." Reid said blowing the ladies each a kiss which seemed to knock them out of they're trance.

"Oh shut up Garwin." Kate and Sarah both said at the same time.

"I have to say Reid I wasn't expecting you to actually go through with it." Melissa said putting her arm around his waiste.

"Well you know I don't like to disappoint a lady." He said smirking.

"Uh huh I bet." Melissa said sitting back down.

The group of teens stayed for awhile and talked during which time numerous girls felt the need to give Reid they're number. It was close to 2 in the morning when the group decided to head back much in the same way that they had gotten there.

Once again I am so sorry that it took so long. Hopefully this will knock me back into my writing.
