A/N: Here's another chapter! I'm feeling really inspired lately because I finally know where I'm going with this story!!! Well, kinda lol. Thanks for reviewing and keep them coming :).

Dean walked the halls a few days later. Things hadn't changed much, except that Connie continued dressing up. He would admit that the first time he saw her like that, he thought she looked amazing but as the days continued, he realized why she was doing it. She was trying to make Guy want her back.

Dean looked up and spotted Connie at her locker. They made eye contact and then she shook her head, turning the other way as she walked down the hall.

He sighed, loudly. The last few days without her had been hell for him.

"Hey, man," Dean turned around. It was Fulton. "You doin' okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Dean shrugged and his best friend gave him a look.

"You've only been acting completely depressed these past few days over Connie Moreau," He said and Dean looked at him. "Oh, come on, I'm not blind, man," He said.

"Fult, I love ya, but you have no idea what you're talking about." Dean said and they continued walking down the halls.

"Dude, between those longing stares and you moping around the dorm for the last few days, it's pretty obvious that you miss her." Fulton said and Dean looked at him.

"Fine, I miss her, but I'm not depressed or whatever," Dean shrugged and Fulton laughed. "This isn't a time for laughing!"

"It is though," Fulton nodded. "You like her."

"What? No, I don't! Connie's my friend and it sucks that she's mad at me."

"Right," Fulton nodded and Dean narrowed his eyes at him. "Dude, I can see right through you."

"You see nothing." Dean said and then sighed. "I don't like her, okay? She's my friend, or well, she was," He shook his head. "Whatever feelings you think I have for her are non-existent."

"If you say so," Fulton said. "Incoming." He whispered and then quickly walked away.

Dean turned around and saw Julie walking towards him.

"Hello, Dean," She said, flipping her blond hair over her shoulder. He hated when she acted like they didn't even know each other.

"Jules," He nodded at her. "To what do I owe this pleasure?" He said, sarcastically and she glared at him.

"I just wanted to make sure you were, you know… okay." She whispered and he looked at her.

"I'm not sure I understand." He said, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Okay, I know you like her," She said and he rolled his eyes. "It's so obvious and don't you dare try to deny it!"

"Julie," He said, putting his hands on her shoulder. "I do not like Connie, okay? A guy and a girl can be friends without having feelings for each other!" He said. "But then again, you wouldn't know what that's like."

"Very funny," She said, pushing him off her. "But I know you like her and if you want to be there for her, go right ahead because she needs someone right now, and I think you'd be good for her."

"You don't care about what's good for Connie or else you wouldn't have fucked her ex-boyfriend," He said and she narrowed her eyes at him. "You just want me to make a move on her so you can have Guy all to yourself."

"Fine, you caught me," She rolled her eyes. "I just don't want her to embarrass herself," She said. "This whole 'dressing up' only makes her look like a pathetic slut."

"Don't call her that," Dean said, angrily and Julie laughed.

"And you say you don't like her," She snarled. "Anyways, I've got to go meet Guy," She said, looking at her watch. "You'll talk to Connie?"

"No," He shook his head and she gave him a look. "Not until she's ready."

She rolled her eyes. "Whatever, just make sure she stays away from Guy." She said and then walked off.

Connie walked out of class and spotted Dean walking by her. She took a deep breath, she missed hanging out with him. She didn't even know why she was so angry with him… Sure, he hadn't told her about Julie and Guy, but maybe he was just trying not to hurt her feelings. She shook her head and walked over to him.

"Hi," She said, smiling brightly.

"Hey," He swallowed. "You're talking to me."

"I am," She nodded and then laughed. "Look, hanging out with you these past couple of months have been really fun, you've been a great friend and I shouldn't be mad at you for not telling me about Julie and Guy, I should be mad at them," She said and he looked surprised. "You were just trying to spare my feelings and I'm actually happy you didn't tell me."

"Okay," He said slowly and she smiled at him. "Does this mean we can be study partners again?"

"Definitely." She smiled and they continued walking down the halls together.
